First time trying to hold their hand. Does it go right or wrong?
+Neither you nor Shigaraki were the type to hold hands. For some of the same reasons and some different. For one of Shiggy’s, well obviously his quirk and for you, you were not the type to be all touchy feely in cutesy stuff. Neither of you were really the affectionate types. That is until a day comes that You need a little physical touch.
The day couldn’t go by and end fast enough. Nothing was going right, I was nearly caught by some heroes, and to top it off, it started to storm. As soon as I walked in the door, I threw my soaked coat in some random direction. I shook my hair out, ignoring the displeased yell towards me.
“Ugh!” I threw myself into a booth completely annoyed with the world. My fingers aggressively rapped against the table top. I had been on edge all day, from the moment I woke up.
“Well some one’s in a bad mood.” A deep voice said from across the bar. I glanced toward the bar and saw the black hair male next to our leader. It surprised me to see him out of his room and away from his video games.
“Not now Dabi.” I growled under my breath. A drink was placed in front of me and I saw the black purple Wisps out of the corner of my eye. I took a long drink before leaning back into my seat.
“Awe, is someone also a bit touchy? Oh, everyone! Look out!” He laughed. I rubbed my eyes before burying my face in my hands. I just felt like I really needed a hug, a loving touch, or something.
“Dadi just leave them alone.” Kurogiri said.
“What? I’m not doing anything.” He grumbled. I rolled my eyes and just took another drink. I heard an argument between multiple people ensue. I was left alone for a little while but I could feel eyes on me. Frustration was quickly growing in me. I looked up and around the room. Across the bar, there was a recruit that had been around for a few weeks with his eyes glued on me.
“Great. Him.” I groaned and looked away. It was not even a minute and he was standing next to the table. “Can I help you with something?”
“Nooo… but I think I could help. Get those frustrations out I mean.” He gave me a big smile which I’m sure he meant to be sexy but failed miserably.
“Really?” I asked sarcastically, unimpressed. He nodded, ignoring my sarcasm. He leant down so his face was close with mine.
“Really, really.” He smirked. He reached to touch me. “I have so many ideas.”
“Haha. Careful there, recruit.” I warned, pushing his hand away. His touch was revolting. The frustration was about to snap.
“Oh come on, sweetie. Just come with me and…” He reached out again. I snapped. I shoved him back and shot out of my seat. He stumbled and I grabbed his neck tight. Black webbed out on his skin.
“Walk for a mile and then walk into traffic you pathetic nitwit.” I growled. I shoved him away and he walked out the door. I sighed. That was the first time my quirk worked right allday. I finally noticed the room was silent. “Anyone else?” Gazes immediately moved away from me. Tears fought their way to the surface. I felt like I was going to fall apart, that there is nothing to hold me together.
“Y/N.” A presence came up behind me.
“What!” I turned to see Shiggy next to me. His eyes went from me to the door. “I don’t want to hear it! Can’t you all just leave me alone for one goddamn minute!” I yelled, throwing my hands up and stomping off. I walked to an unused back hall and leant against a wall. There was a big window in front of me, showing me the storm outside.
“Y/N..” I jumped and yelled out. The tears finally broke though.
“What Tomura!?” I yelled. “I know I messed up so what could it be you are here for?” I slammed back into and slid down the wall. “Because it only seems that people come to me when they want something, want to tease on me, or make me their punching bag! So what possibly could you be here for! Huh?”
“Y/N.”
“What?” I looked up and saw he was sitting next to me on my left. He reached up and pried my hand from my hair. I gasped because I didn’t ever know I was doing it, the ache setting in. His next action shocked me more. He took my right hand in his left and began to rub circles. “Shigaraki?”
“Just take it.” He slowly wrapped his right arm around my shoulders. I set my head on his shoulder cautiously. When he didn’t react beyond pulling me in more, I let my full weight on him. I noticed he had on his two finger gloves and a small smile came to my face.
I gripped his hand and placed my other hand over his and traced random shapes. Underneath, I was soaking in all the soft attention and touches. Shiggy normally hated to wear the gloves so he never really did this soft stuff. Sure we’ve done some more spicy touching but never this.
“Thank you.” I whispered. “I know you hate wearing the gloves.”
“I don’t hate wearing them. I just had no reason too.” His raspy voice said softly into my ear. He moved his arm off my shoulder and brought it forward to set his other hand with the others. “Now I do.”
“Huh?” I lifted my head to look at him.
“I am not a very… touchy person but with you I want to be. I just didn’t know how to ask you.” He said. “With anyone else, I’m not interested. But with you, I want to have everything.So I don’t hate it.”
“I feel the same.” I admitted after a minute of silence. “I had to admit it to myself as well. I haven’t been close enough to anyone in such a long time that I didn’t know what to do.”
“So we are meant for each other.” He laughed and so did I.
“You know, if you hadn’t sent that shit head on his way, I would have dusted him.” I laughed hard, leaning into him more.
“I am just happy my quirk worked. It’s been acting up all day.” I held up my free hand. Black swirled on my fingertips. Tomura let go of my one hand and placed his finger tips against mine, all five. He tapped them before gently lacing his fingers with mine.
“Things happen and I will be… Will be here for you the best I can.” He said. “I know I am far from a great man but…”
“If I wanted a great man, I would not be here.” I said a matter of factly. He laughed. “The dark, brooding, crazy type that has a side obsession of video games myself. They’re more fun.”
“Damn. That specific, huh?” He asked.
“Actually, now that you mention it, I like them to have light blueish hair with a hand problem.”
“Watch it.” He warned with no threat behind it. “You know, now that I’ve gotter a taste of this I won’t go back.”
“Same.” I tightened my grip on his hand.“I hate to admit it but I need a little physical touch every now and then.”
“I couldn’t agree more.” He whispered. I nearly fell asleep when a loud clash of thunder and lightning spooked us both. “Ugh! Can we, maybe move somewhere more comfortable than the floor?”
“Oh, fine you big baby.” I got up and looked down at him expectedly. He got up and took my hand. I yawned as I’ve walked through the halls, hand in hand.
+ You are a villain with a tattoo quirk. You can touch someone and infuse “tattoo ink” into the body and control them until the ink wears away or they are rid of the ink by you. The more ink you infuse, the more time the person is under your control. After doing a small little job and walking away with no one the wiser, you attract the attention of an old classmate. Ignoring them, you hurry away. You spot a familiar black hoodie in the crowd and get help from them.
Glass and plastic shattered on the pavement. Yells and curses joined the rest of the noise. People were standing back and off to the sides, curious of what was going on. I swung my hand from side to side, directing the ‘crazy man’ on where and what to destroy next. Sirens blared as they got closer. Cop cars skidded to a stop on the street.
“Freeze and put your hands up!” They screamed. I chuckled and made him stop. The cops advanced on the man. I held him steady just until the cops were a few feet from him. I snapped my fingers to release him. He blinked awake.
“Wha-what’s going on?” He asked right before he was grabbed. I laughed as I watched from my spot against the building. I saw the man I had infected grow confused when the cops and heroes surrounded him and it was majorly amusing. I had made him trash a small hero office across the street just in time for said hero to return from lunch.
“Just too easy.” I said out loud. I grew bored as he was pushed into the cop car. I pushed off the wall lazily and walked down the street. I popped the gum in my mouth and stuck my hands in my pocket. I pick pocketed along the way and counted the cash as I came to a crosswalk.
“L/N?” I froze as someone called my name. Maybe someone else has my name here, yeah there definitely calling to someone… “Y/N L/N?” Well there goes that idea. I peeked off to my right where I heard the voice. I saw someone waving and I glance at them before turning away.
“Who…” The blue hair was familiar. I did another glance when they called again. “Oh shit.” I finally recognized them. It was a girl from my past life. She was a part of the friend group I used to have in high school. As soon as we graduated, I dropped off the radar. I was tired of the world I was living in. It wasn’t long after that I found the LOV. Well they found me. I had been assaulted and they found me in the alley where it happened. Ink slowly disappearing from the unconscious bodies in front of me.
“Is that really you?” They were close now. As soon as the cross walk opened, I moved quickly. I weaved through people and sped walk onto the sidewalk. “Hey, why are running?”
“Because I don’t want to talk to you dipshit.” I mumbled. I looked over my shoulder discreetly every now and again. They were still following me. I shook my head in annoyance and yanked my hood up. I tapped a person and they jerked and gasped as my quirk took control. “Distract the girl with blue hair.”
“Yes ma’am.” They stepped in between us. I popped around a corner and watched. She did everything she could to get away but the person counteracted everything. I darted to leave and snapped to release when I thought I was home free.
I sighed and relaxed as I walked again. I ran my fingers through my hair and flinched when a baby next to me screamed. I rolled my eyes and walked on. I couldn’t stand the sound of babies, among many things. I pulled out my phone and saw missed calls from Toga and Shiggy. I was about to call them back when I heard my name again.
“For fucks sake.” I looked behind me to see them again. They saw I was looking and waved eagerly. “Damn, relentless little bitch.” I groaned turned, nearly bolting down the sidewalk. I bumped into a few people. I was trying to think of a way to get away. I suddenly saw a familiar black hoodie out of the corner of my eye. “Yes!” I banked to the left and ran straight for him. I latched onto the arm of his hoodie.
“What the hell do you think you are doing?!” His raspy voice came out angrily.
“Relax Shiggy, it’s me.” I sassed while dragging him into an alley. He stopped fighting my pull and followed me. I stopped, my back facing the wall. I ripped off my hoodie and threw it off to the side leaving me in a flowy crop top.
“What are you doing?” I waved him off and shook my hair out. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into me. I wrapped my leg around his waist and pulled his face really close to mine. His hands landed on the wall next to my shoulders, finger on each hand held out.
“Just bear with me, okay?” I whispered. He didn’t say anything but his breathing was wavering and hard.
I wrapped my arms loosely around his shoulders and look out of the alley. I saw her turning and looking around frantically. She even looked in the alley at us but looked on. She finally walked away, slumped.
“Okay, they’re gone. You can…” As soon as I turned completely towards him, his lips pressed against mine hard. I made a sound of surprise. He pulled back within a few seconds. I stared at him in shook.
“You can’t just pull me in like that and expect me not to kiss you.” He smirked before leaning forward again. I met him this time, wrapping my arms tighter around his neck. I felt his hands move as the kiss became more heated. One ended up on my thigh as the other landed on the bare skin of my waist.
“Ep, you’re hands are cold.” I giggled against his lips. He smiled and pulled away a bit.
“Then you better warm them up.” He said before diving in again. We stood there and made out until his phone rang out annoyingly. He pulled away and groaned. He took a step back and let my leg fall. I shook the daze out of my head and pushed my hair back. I paused as soon as it hit me what I just did.
“Shit.” I said under my breath. I just made out with my boss. I looked at him as he talked on the phone. I smiled after a minute, touching my fingertips to my lips. He hung up and looked at me. I pulled my hand away and looked anywhere but him before smiling innocently.
“What? Can’t handle it?”
“Nope. That’s not it.” I said sheepishly. He smirked before reaching out and wrapping a hand loosely around my neck.
“Care to share? Huh, little miss Ink.” I shook my head teasingly. His red eyes glared for a second before he let go. “Fine have it your way. I will get it out of you one way or another.”
“You can try.” I said before pecking his lips quickly. I walked over to grab my hoodie and threw it on. I turned back towards him. He crooked a finger for me to come to him. I walked over and he grabbed my chin. “Sooo, why did you call me earlier?”
“You went to long without checking in. Was starting to think you got caught.” He said while looking over my face. “Apparently not.” He let go of my chin. “Don’t let it happen again.”
“Yes sir.” He gave me a glare.
“Don’t call me that.” He scratched his neck. “Come on let’s get back to the bar.” We walked in silence back to the hideout. I was about to walk in when he pulled me back. “Why did you pull me into the alley?”
“Oh, a person I knew in high school was trying to follow me and talk to me. I had been trying to lose her for blocks but she was determined. So I pulled you in to help me hide.” I confessed. He nodded while looking down the street.
“Alright. Now come ‘hide’ in my room later. There are a few things we need to talk about.” He said simply before walking into the bar without me. I just stood in shock until I was hit in the back of the head. I glared at Dabi.
“Why are you just standing there?”
“None of your business, burnt bacon bits.” I sneered before walking inside, on pins and needles.
Before y'all say “But Ross, you aren’t trans. You can’t speak on this?” No, I’m not. But I have done much research on this topic and asked transgender friends about this.
Oh y'all wanted a twist ay? Come on MHA fandom, lets get controversial!
So! Some of y'all may know that I love Magne. I do. She’s my best girl. And if you’ve forgotten who Magne was, here:
That’s my girl.
Anyway, many people who are fans of the show are angry at the portrayal of her. Magne is a transgender woman. Which is cool!
Fans argue that she is too masculine for a woman which kind of is fucked up?
By saying Magne is too masculine is perpetuating the stereotype that women have to be feminine and the transphobic stereotype that transgender women have to be overly feminine. She may not be feminine in her looks, but she is feminine in the way she acts, the things she does, and what she says. Be it, her calling people “sugar” and other like names, or holding her hands up when she’s frustrated. Her mannerisms are like those shown by cisgender women and feminine people.
Another thing that I don’t see many people talk about is where she is at with her transition. I notice that many people only accept a transgender woman after she has started hormones, gotten surgery, etc. In Japan, being transgender is not accept anywhere near as much as it is in countries like the UK or the USA. On television and in media, transwomen and drag queens are just big stereotypical caricatures. They are seen just as comedic value. It’s harder to transition in Japan. And being a villain, she would have very little money. It can cost thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars to transition. (I headcannon that’s why she robbed a bank). She wouldn’t be able to do a lot of the things that other transwomen do because she is a wanted criminal.
Magne, I presume, is older. I say around 32/35. (But you can have your own headcannons.) The life expectancy of a transwoman, especially a transwoman of colour is low. A lot lower than that of a ciswoman. Perhaps Magne put off her transition for fear of this statistic. Which is very likely and a common occurrence of transgender people in countries like Japan.
And someone tried to argue with me over Instagram that Asian people weren’t POC. Shut up?
The other transgender character in the show is Tiger, the male Pussycat. Here’s him if you forgot who he was:
The misconception about Tiger is that he is a transgender woman as well. Which is not true and actually the opposite. Horikoshi writes on his character page:
“Formerly female, then he took the trip to Thailand.”
Which is rad! Not only do we have transgender characters, we also have two ends of the same spectrum. A woman, and a man.
This also brings up the point that Tiger had to have faced discrimination while transitioning. Even in a big city where there are probably some accepting people, there are more unaccepting.
However, Tiger took that negativity and all that hate and became a hero. Because that’s what he wanted to do was help people. Even though they didn’t accept him and pushed him away, he still knew that he was a hero.
Magne went the opposite direction. She took the hatred and negativity and turned to villainy. The world had hurt her, so she wanted to hurt it back. It’s heavily hinted that Magne only has one or two people that she feels close to and trusts.
It’s so interesting to see two characters take a similar situation and turn it into something so different.
But back to Magne.
The league accepts her. She isn’t misgendered while in their group by anyone. In fact after her…unfortunate battle with Overhaul, Twice comes to her defense. Chisaki refers to Magne as “him” and Twice is immediately on him.
“It’s her, not he! Bastard! That’s the secound time you’ve done that!”
(Something along those lines. I couldn’t find the exact panel.)
So the League knows and they don’t care. They just love their big sis.
!!! Something I forgot to mention, the league members, most notably, Spinner, refer to her as Magu-nee. Which the honorific -nee means big sister. Cute! !!!
That’s all I have for now! Tell me if you have any other points I didn’t bring up! Thank you for reading and I hope I changed your mind. Because I love my big sis and it makes me sad to see people hate on her. :(
Neko yokai shigaraki that invades a big temple and kicks out the old spirits there to be pampered and worshipped by naive miko reader, aka the biggest scam ever ✌️
Mine and @writingsbymo-mo thirst discord chats, maybe more later????
