Heck uhhhhh 🔥 Shinsou??

deafmic:

i know the fire icon is for unpopular opinions, but my god do i love shinsou. he’s probably my favorite student. i think it’s definitely implied that aizawa’s training him and preparing to move him into the hero course because holy shit, that kid downright deserves the world and has a lot of potential to be a hero. i can’t wait to see more of him.

i hope u dont mind headcanons, but i hc that shinsou was brought up in the foster care system and passed from foster home to foster home to group home. a lot of people ended up being afraid of his quirk, especially since, like everyone else, he couldn’t control it as a kid. he was never nefarious with it, but accidentally used it when he wanted his caretakers to do innocuous things, like let him stay up later or give him snacks or let him go outside. still, though, it scared his caretakers so much that shinsou switched hands a lot.

i also headcanon that shinsou is a big fan of eraserhead. shinsou was probably like 5 or 6 when aizawa was first starting out his solo career and probably accidentally got caught on camera by forgetting to evade the media while doing a take-down. i’d imagine that seeing him on the news probably blew shinsou away, because he’d never seen a hero without a physical quirk before? and that was probably when he started idolizing aizawa. i’d imagine that when he got old enough, he probably found forums talking about underground heroes and followed eraser’s activities through that. 

so finding out that aizawa was 1-A’s teacher nearly made him choke. he probably didn’t talk to aizawa right away and probably tried to–i don’t know- convince himself that eraser wasn’t actually this great, idol person, but then aizawa went and nearly killed himself at usj fighting for his students and shinsou went “oh no he is a really great hero/person”. and then aizawa approached him after the sports festival and shinsou nearly fainted talking to him.

like i said, i definitely think aizawa is training shinsou. going along with my headcanons, i also think that aizawa has become a sort of parental/adult figure to him because shinsou hasn’t really had anyone in his life ever pay attention to him like aizawa does.

sorry i turned this into headcanons but i love shinsou so much.
