I Love Seeing Eri Take On Traits Of Aizawa Sooooooo Freaking Much Buuuuuuut

I love seeing Eri take on traits of Aizawa sooooooo freaking much… buuuuuuut…

Where is Eri deciding to do her hair like Present Mic one day and people just accept that she is allowed to do that (even if she looks hilarious) because nobody wants to tell the canonically abused child that had little control over what decisions were made over her own person until recently that she looks silly like that.

Where is the scene out of Lion King, where she gets mad at some random hero students being dumb and she decides to scream just like present mic, and they look at her, confused and amused, because, like, what the heck was that pitiful little squeak supposed to be? And then they almost poop themselves because suddenly Present Mic appears behind her, chest puffed up like he is gonna roar for his little kitten like Mufasa did for Simba? And the moment she opens her mouth he screams at the same time and knocks the dumb students on their butts, and she turns around excited Mic is there because did he hear how loud she screamed? And he just smiles all “oh no! You’re gonna put me out of the job like that!” And it’s just so wholesome because she has learned through Mic and her whole support system that she does have a voice. And she can make as many silly choices as she wants because she will always have support and protection to learn and grow and have a safe space to do that in.

That awkward moment you put something into Google translate and get something you really didn’t expect to become canon, and probably won’t be because it’s Google translate, but you can dream.

Why do I get the feeling this applies to both of them? Same energy. I can hear it in both their voices.

MHA AU plot bunny I’ve had in my head for a while:

Mute Aizawa

Aizawa lived in a bad neighborhood growing up. When he was fairly young he was attacked by a villain with a knife/knife quirk. He should have died. It was right across his throat. He still has nightmares of that night years later.

While he survived, his voice did not. He learns to adjust and grow and sign. It doesn’t mean everything is as accessible as he would like. Many people don’t sign. Some people just stop talking to him because they assume Mute means Deaf, and they don’t have the time to learn a new language to make a friend. He wears a scarf in the middle of the summer because it’s better people stare at him for that than ask him questions about a scar that he can’t answer and doesn’t want to answer but everyone seems to think they are entitled to.

He goes to UA and on the first day and the teachers try to get them to introduce themselves out loud in front of the whole class. He can’t. The teacher should know that. So he sits there and glares until the teacher moves to the next student. After that day, nobody in his class talks to him. Not like they would anyway. Being mute always scared people away. Made them all uncomfortable. On top of that, one of the popular students decided he doesn’t talk because he thinks he is better than them. This becomes a bigger problem when he bumps into a big headed and very scary hero student in the hall that demands he apologize. Obviously he can’t in any way the student would understand. He quickly becomes a target for entitled hero students and his classmates for “making them look bad” and “acting like a villain.”

Eventually, while running from bullies, he runs into Yamada, who steps up for Shouta regardless of the fact Aizawa is scary looking, a general education student, or the fact he doesn’t even get a thank you, which Oboro is a little miffed about how the other student runs off without thanking his friend for stopping him from getting pummeled. That’s just rude.

The aspiring voice hero is happy to help. While Hizashi is not deaf, he knows how to sign and understand sign because he deafened his parents at a young age and all they do at home is sign. It takes a while for Shouta to warm up to him, and even longer for Hizashi to realize Shouta is actually mute because he mostly ignores people because that has been what comes easier than try to make friends and end up getting left out.

Eventually they become a duo that is rarely seen without the other.

Hizashi and Aizawa meow meows. Because they are both my little meow meows and deserve love.

Just thinking about how traumatic it would be for poor Suneater to discover that there are some very dedicated fans out there who have written dirty animal smut of him. And stories where he has had babies And stories where his classmates and him have… have… k-k-kissed!

Meanwhile, Mirio would be all, ‘yeah. Everybody has seen it at this point. It’s not a secret what I look like without clothes on.’
