Yes everyone, you read that right! I'm branching out into my other interests! Keeping this blog as only Bnha would cause me to become uninterested very easily and my hyperfixations fluctuate between bnha and danganronpa a lot so these are the two you'll be seeing the most! With that stated lets get into todays rant!
ps if you follow the account drv3confessions you'll have already seen this rant as I sent it in as a confession!
Herse my in-depth analysis on why Art is Dead by Bo Burnham is the best song to describe Nagito. I’ll start off with the part of the song that goes on about how Bo (from this point on referred to as Nagito) shouldn’t be praised and that he isn’t perfect and should be corrected.
This is a fantastic example of how Nagito constantly degrades himself and talks about how the others should use him and treat him as badly as he talks about himself. Then there's the part right after the section talking about a kid whos loud and outgoing, the ‘I must be psychotic, I must be demented, To think that I'm worthy, Of all this attention…’ part. That is also a very good example of how Nagito thinks and has been told his whole life that he isn’t worth attention (positive or negative).
It also shows that he feels the attention that he does get, he feels is too much and that he doesn’t deserve it. Right near the end of the song there's a section that goes ‘A self-centered artist, Self-obsessed artist’ and I think that also really plays into the whole self degradation thing Nagito has going on. I think that if he ever (he probably has but it was really backhanded, at the time of writing this I’m very tired so there are probably some inconsistencies) made a positive comments about himself he’d follow it up with something like ‘how self-centered of me to think such a thing’.
I also wanna touch back on the ‘I must be psychotic, I must be demented, To think that I'm worthy, Of all this attention’ line. This line to me really sells the whole ‘this song screams Nagito’ thing. Mainly because this is how he thinks, he thinks he doesn’t deserve attention and when he does get it he feels selfish and insane (not the best terminology but I can’t think of another way to word it).
Finally going back to the start of the song where it talks about a kids birthday party. I feel like that represents how Nagito thinks about himself, one of the lines (‘That every day, Can't be about him, There's other people, You selfish ass hole) really describes how Nagito thinks about himself. As a final point I would like to say that he overall tone of the song is very reminiscent of how Nagito speaks and behaves in the game.
TLDR: 'Art is dead' By Bo Burnham is an excellent song to represent Nagito and his character :)
you can recognize yourself through the fictional character. but watch out
That camiemina blog literally opened my eyes so intensely. Like. Oh my god them. Here’s things I made of them.
Time for some quirk analysis!! I'm very excited to share these so you can expect them to be very long :)
Today? Mina Ashido or Pinky <3
Here starts the analysis following canon
Mina produces a corrosive liquid from her skin, her skin is resistant to said acid. Her pink skin is a result of her quirk altering her skin pigment but, unlike her skin the acid is a grey color.
Mina is able to produce high amounts of acid from her skin and is able to control its form to an extent. She can also control the levels of the levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid.
Strengths
Mina is able to produce enough acid to melt solid objects, including metal. She is able to control the level of acidity and viscosity of the acid making her quirk extremely versatile. She is also able to use her acid to make entrance and exit holes into buildings.
Along with that she can use her ability to burn holes into things to climb buildings and walls. She is also excellent at mobility, producing acid under her feet and using it to skate around.
Weaknesses
Mina's skin isn't 100% acid proof so if she produces too much acid her skin will start to wear away. She also has difficulty controlling the he levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid, which makes her wary of fighting people. Her quirk also doesn't have any strength enhancing properties, making her a bit more reliant on her quirk.
Special moves
-Acid Veil: Mina maximizes her acid's solubility and viscosity and creates a powerful acid wall which blocks incoming projectiles. (Its powerful enough to break the balls in the provisional license exam, which are harder then concrete)
-Acid shot: Mina launches a barrage of acid bullets on an opponent and their surroundings
-Acid Layback: Mina produces acid from her feet to dissolve the surface of the ground, allowing her to spin faster. With the added speed she is able to throw projectiles at a higher speed
Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta-Bounce: The follow up for Acid layback; After using acid layback Mina throws Mineta and he throws Pop-off spheres and bounces off them
-Acidman (My personal favorite <3): Increasing the viscosity of her acid, she produces a large amount in a vaguely anthropomorphic form, covering her whole body. This move is also defensive and will dissolve an attack launched at Mina
All of the info above can be found on Minas Wikipedia page ^^
Questions
Where does Mina produce the acid from? Its obviously from her skin but is it from her pores? Or does she have two sets of pores, one for the acid and one for sebum (the stuff your pores normally produce)? Is her acid just a different version of sebum that she is able to control? (After the questions there will be a section on more detail about sebum and how it relates to Minas quirk) Where does the acid come from? Does she have a place to store the acid underneath her skin? Where does the acid come from? Is it in her blood stream?
Analysis following my own theory starts here!
Sebum is what your pores produce and, it is acidic. It has a pH level of 4 to 5.5 (anything below 7 is acidic). So this begs the question, is Minas quirk just her controlling the sebum she produces? The pores that produce sebum don't exist on palms and bottoms of the feet (places we see Mina produce acid from several times) so Mina would need to have extra pores on these spots.
Assuming Minas quirk is just her controlling the sebum she produces its more then likely she would also have the needed pores to produce sebum on her palms and the bottoms of her feet. Minas quirk changes the color of her skin to be a pinkish purple, so if we stick with the idea that her quirk, rather than it being 'producing acid from the skin' and being 'manipulating the sebum she produces naturally', it could be the natural coat of sebum on her skin that has caused this change. Though that is highly unlikely, just a little end thought :)
TLDR: For the first half, I just explained Minas Strengths and weaknesses as well as her Special moves. The second half is me talking about how her quirk would work if it was based on some form of evolution.
Monodeku au where Midoriya is a popular streamer and Monoma is a small streamer with a massive crush on him.
Every Tuesday Monoma streams the sims. Within this sims game, Monomas sim is dating another sim that looks suspiciously like Midoriya.
One day Midoriya discovers Monomas's stream on his side account and becomes an avid viewer.
By accident, Midoriya donates to Monoma on his main twitch account which then causes Monoma to just completely lose it.
Its time for my favorite saga! The quirk analysis saga (which I will definitely be revisiting again after I've cleared all the rants I've already written)!
I wanna start the saga off with my base theory for everything. By that I mean, this is an entire different thing from canon and is where I think quirks come from. However, in future quirk analysis's I will include one that is based on canon and one that is based on my own theory. Now onto the theory :)
I believe that quirks are advanced form of evolution. My reasoning for this is that a lot of the people of the my hero world have quirks that can be explained by evolution (ex. Mina, Momo, Bakugou, etc.). I’ll get into explanation about a lot of this evolution when it comes to specific people.
You'll see this theory used a lot when it comes to my analysis of Mina and Momos' quirks especially. But, to backtrack on what I said, I think quirks are based on evolution. Every quirk has some way to be explained via science and evolution. Looking at Mina and Momos' quirks are actually where I got this theory from! It's kina hard to explain by itself but I can tell you Minas analysis is next and so you'll see this used more there (^^)
TLDR: I think quirks are based on evolution and have evidence to base this off of that you'll see in future rants.
Monodeku idol au where monoma is a popular idol and midoriya is a loser fanboy but one day monoma stops by the library midoriya works at (in disguise) and relentlessly flirts with him
MONOMA PREFORMING AND JUST HE HEARS A REALLY LOUD SCREAMING ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE LOOKS OUT AND SEES. SOME GREEN HAIRED FREAK ABSOLUTELY DECKED OUT IN HIS MERCH. but for a split second he's like. "hey this guy is kinda cute...just a bit..."
And then like two days later he's walking into the library cause bro likes to read and he sees some really attractive and buff guy with green hair who then turns around and he's like "OH MY GOD. THAT'S THE GUY FROM MY CONCERT."
But because monoma is a loser boy himself he keeps his disguise on and slides up to midoriya with his library card and goes "heyyy hot stuff come here often" and midoriya is like "yeah dude I work here" and for a few minutes monoma just sucksss at flirting and then he gets the hang of it and absolutely flusters the ever loving fuck out of midoriya
And then at monomas next concert midoriya has back stage tickets to meet monoma and during this meeting monoma flirts with him again but midoriya just assumes monoma does this for all his fans
And so monoma is like "listen. I'm not supposed to do this. But here's my number" and midoriya is like "I COULDN'T POSSIBLY TAKE THIS I RESPECT YOU TOO MUCH" and mentally monoma is like 'oh my gooood cute library guy for the love of god.'
Theennn back at the library, that monoma has begun frequenting, monoma slides midoriya his number and is like "you're VERY attarcive." And midoriya blushes while taking the paper and babbling.
I imagine one day midoriya invites monoma over to his house, still unaware of who he is, and inside his home is so much fucking idol monoma shit
Monoma is like "damn you really like this guy huh" and midoriya is like "yeaahh he's so dreamy sighhhhh"
Reveal probs goes like this
Monoma: baby, you know that idol you're supeeerrr into?
Midoriya: yeah?
Monoma: that's ME
Midoriya: WHAT. HUH. OH MY GOD IM SO EMBARRASSED YOUVE SEEN MY HOUSE
Monoma: yeah I have :)<3 you're cute I like you you should officially go out with me
Midoriya: AAAAAA OKAY
AAA WAIT OKAY SO I WAS GOING THROUGH JIROUS WIKI PAGE (FOR A DIFFERENT POST IM WORKING ON) AND
MOMOKENDOUJIROU CANON FOR REAL!!!! THEYRE LITERALLY IN LOVE
please consider Jirou fighting with a polearm/staff.
okay wait so we all know how she does the whole ear-jack twirl:
This thing ^
and I know she's using her control over her ear-jacks to coil them around her fingers but consider:
she transfers the twirling motion to a pole or staff. I just think she'd be able to use a polearm very well.
ALSOOO Momo used a staff so they could be girlfriends and share or something idk
Sorry for disappearing <3 here is some monoma + monodeku
Text for second drawing:
Monoma: class 1-a more like class 1-ass
Midoriya: goddamnit get back here Neito
