explodingcosplay asked: Green, if you don't mind me doing another please.
No problem! I’m in the middle of a long trip back home so I got time!
Green: Any preferred rare pairs?
Hmmmmm… I dunno how rare some of these are but:
Bakugou and Uraraka - really love them, actually, especially after the sports festival!
Todoroki and Iida - definitely see the appeal after Stain
Kirishima and Deku - two cute happy boys
Kaminari and Deku - purely for Kaminari trying to be all smooth and probably failing lol (Also don’t mind Kami and Baku either)
Shinsou and Deku - cuz they gonna be friends lol
Tokoyami and Deku - another sweet ship especially after Deku saves him in the forest
(I’m such a sucker for Deku like his smile can make anyone melt)
Uraraka and Tsu - especially after they had to deal with Himiko
Tsu and the girl from her internship - I know it was just one episode but d’awwwwww
Midnight and Aizawa - she can definitely keep his attention
Note: most of this is based on what I’ve seen in the anime and some manga spoilers (like Shinsou’s return) There’s characters I know I haven’t met so there will be more ships in the future (just got on the InaTodo train)
Basically, anything with Mineta (ship whoever you want I just can’t stand him) and like… All Might x Deku because I see them purely as father and son. That’s about all I got, I’m cool with a LOT of ships! I adore BakuDeku but like… I ship them boys with a lot of folks, lol :)
Praying your parents don’t see anything weird when they’re dropping you off
Yelling “buttscratcher” and at least 10 people yelling back.
Org XIII cosplayers as far as the eye can see
“The Game”
Free Hugs
Glomps
The banning of Glomps
The paranoia of cosplaying Sauske, Naruto, Sora, or Riku because you know someone has a Yaoi paddle and they’re watching your ass like Wile E. Coyote watches the Roadrunner
Homestuck invasion
Not being able to cosplay or enjoy One Piece without some asshole screaming the 4Kids theme at you
Cat ears
Seriously how did Yaoi Paddles stick around for so long? You would never get away with that today. You’d probably go to jail for that behavior
not to be a lil kid or nothin but what the fuck is a yaoi paddle
You’re not the first person to ask me this. I once made a post all about them, but I will reiterate because the past must not be forgotten lest we repeat history
I’m mostly copypasting from my original post on this:
The yaoi paddle is…an odd yet fascinating relic of the ‘weeabo’ phase
everyone went through, specifically prevalent throughout the Naruto and
Kingdom Hearts fandom in thy early days.
The Yaoi Paddle was literally a small oar with the words Yaoi, Seme, or Uke written on them
Their function was to slap people’s asses.
Now you would think this would be something reserved for say an after dark or +18 panel, but no, it wasn’t. This was a very real thing people carried around with them on the convention floor
People would go up and slap each other on the ass with these in public, in front of everybody.
Not only was this acceptable behavior, it was downright expected! Something that by today’s standards would be considered sexual harassment was acceptable
This was a real thing that happened for a long time at conventions, as
you can tell by the timestamp this photo.
If you thought random hugs were a violation of personal space then
you’ve gone soft in the absence of these unholy weapons.
if you wore a Naruto, Sauske, Sora, Riku, or Org. XIII cosplay from 2006 to 2009, you
were officially fair game and you might as well have been wearing a
target on your ass, regardless if you were in to that or not.
Nowadays they are but a distant memory, a forgotten part of convention culture that a lot of people want to pretend never happened; with good reason mind you
So there’s your history lesson!
Oof I remember these! All of this is accurate. This combined with the “will kiss for $1” signs where your ship would make out for money.
brichibi asked: It's probably too late for the feature author thing but just in case! I'm "brichibi" on a03. The fic I'm most proud of is a tie between my AUs "Lights. Camera. Hero!" (cuz it's fun to re-imagine BNHA as a TV series with the characters as actors) and "You Think We Need One More?" (cuz it's my first attempt at THIS much smut/polyships). I LOVE BakuDeku cuz of their overall message of them needing each other to become the best versions of themselves. They're basically two halves of the ideal hero.
If there’s one thing Izuku Midoriya’s good at, it’s dreaming big, and dreaming hard. That’s why he’s in Hollywood, of all places, his hometown an entire ocean away along with his graduating high school class and single mother. But he’s gonna be an actor, an international sensation, a superstar like no other.
He just.
Has to convince the rest of the world.
Which is, admittedly, a difficult task.
[AU where “My Hero Academia” is an upcoming television series, everyone’s an actor/actress, and romance happens behind the scenes]
Bakugou, Kirishima, and Kaminari are living their best, twenty-something-year-old life. Nice, spacious house. Attractive roommates to split the mortgage with. Video game discounts. Pizza. Sex. Did we mention sex, because yeah, that’s happening on the regular. But things take a turn for the “hot damn that boy is fine” when Izuku Midoriya moves in next door. Is it time for a healthy, competitive dose of “who bags the cutie first” amongst the lovers?
Naw, they’re horny grown-ups, and horny grown-ups know how to compromise.
[AU where Midoriya is the boy next door who gets courted by his ridiculously attractive neighbors who, most definitely, think they need one more]
I’m a big fan of your Actor AU! If you guys haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend checking it out! And thank you for having something for the multi shippers!

Or, “Where’d this chapter even come from this wasn’t part of the plan but time to earn that explicit rating I guess?!” Enjoy the next installment for the My Hero Academia acting AU!
Chapter Summary: For the record, he’s no stranger to this level of intimacy either. There is, however, something to be said about having Hollywood’s explosive darling looking at your body like a four-course meal. And it occurs to Izuku, when they hear the neighbor belting out another round of profanity at the dog, that there’s a chance someone can walk past the car and get a front row seat.
There’s also a chance that neither of them care.
Pairing: BakuDeku
Warnings: Car scene, clothed sex, unexpected smut
Snippet: Izuku’s standing in the kitchen, scraping scrambled eggs out of the skillet and onto two plates. The frustrated pout on his face from the amount of eggs stuck to the pan makes Katsuki wonder why Izuku hasn’t been hired to be the guilt trip kid in a don’t drink and drive ad. Katsuki clears his throat from where he’s standing and says, “You made breakfast? How sweet.”
Izuku looks up at him and nearly drops the pan, because Katsuki Bakugou’s standing in his living room, completely naked. A little warning would’ve been nice, you know, so he could prepare his heart for the dreamlike image that greets him. “Um… m-morning,” Izuku manages to get out. “I… attempted breakfast?” To be honest, there’s not much in his fridge to work with, and even if there was, he’s not exactly a Michelin star anything.
“Cool.”
The toaster dings behind Izuku and he’s more than happy to turn and grab the warm slices of bread. Because Katsuki Bakugou’s in his shitty apartment. Naked. “It’s not much. Haven’t had the chance to go grocery shopping.”“That’s fine.”
So Katsuki’s standing behind him now, voice tickling at his ear.
