    Summary

    A guy could be doing worse for himself these days. Benny Zalman makes his living behind the bar of the Bearcat Club, pouring sugar on bathtub gin and busting heads when the room gets rowdy. One night is pretty much like the next—until the club hires a new piano player who unexpectedly sets Benny’s heart swinging.

    Summary

    This “presentation” discusses Eijiro Kirishima’s character and arc as well as the real-life references his character’s aesthetic and “manly” actions and credo are meant to communicate. This post includes a discussion of Japanese delinquents and bosozoku, a brief and simplified history of the relationship of Japanese hypermasculinity and military/naval power, a brief discussion of kouha and nanshoku, and a brief general analysis of how Kirishima's early-series insecurities reflect those of an “emasculated” and outdated Japan in relation to Mina’s “effeminate” Japan of today.

    It also compares Kirishima and Mina’s history and character growth to Katsuki and Izuku’s.

    Summary

    Oxymoron-
    a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

    Todoroki Shoto: the dumbest smartest, coldest hottest, most beautifully scarred, wonderful asshole. The biggest oxymoron to have ever existed with plenty of emphasis on the ‘moron’.
    Bakugou Katsuki: the calmest angriest, kindest rudest, most eloquent curse wielding shithead. The biggest hypocrite to have ever insulted Todoroki Shoto and his duality.
    The story of how they exist, come together and figure each other out and all their many flaws.

    Summary

    “I found their supply room,” he lets the comm lines know. More bullet spray forces him behind a hard brick wall.
    “You got it handled?” Icyhot says, out of breath. “It’s messy out here, we’re a little short-handed, can’t send backup.”
    “Yeah.” Another click. Another empty cartridge. “I got it.”
    ***
    He does not have it. Or he does until the building decides to fucking collapse. While he’s inside. In a massive crash of concrete and steel and broken tile, the basement’s ceiling (and the first floor’s floor) gives and takes Katsuki with it.

    OR

    The one where Katsuki neglects to mention just how bad he's hurt while on a mission. Set post series end and heavily inspired by "Fitting In (Tiny Spaces)" by aloneinthetrain
