As you may or may not know, Iâve been wanting to do a little comic series for a while now. And Iâve been struggling with where to start. So rather than start with the very complex, plot-heavy AU idea I had, I thought it might be better to start with something a little lighter with more wiggle room to experiment. Thatâs right! Itâs the (incredibly self indulgent) parents AU with shindeku! I havenât seen this kind of thing with this particular ship, so hopefully people will get a kick out of it!
This will prob be something I will pick at in my free time, and thus will update slowly. I want it to be low pressure! But I hope you enjoy it anyway!
(If youâve got any questions about this au, hit up my inbox! Iâd love to answer them!)
– their frustrations regarding reaching a goal, and doing something they know they could do well
– they share a dream, and how they hold on to it despite everything
– how they look up to their mentors, even almost replicating them
– their passion towards heroes (dekuâs fanboying to the point of being called an otaku; shinsouâs supposed heated speeches about heroes, implying his closeted fanboying)
– both are smart, and observant especially regarding othersâ quirks (although shinsou envies them too)
complimentary
– out-of-luck vs. blessed
– cocky vs. humble
– shinsouâs self-control vs. dekuâs recklessness
– by extension, shinsouâs self-control could dangerously turn into self short-selling, while dekuâs recklessness could turn into self-deprecating or outright martyrdom which is still harmful if done too much
– shinsouâs self control could compliment dekuâs recklessness by influencing his levelheadedness.
– deku could bring out shinsouâs capabilities and confidence with his knowledge and sincere support.
– shinsou is a bitter version of deku; deku is a luckier version of shinsou.
possible plot relevance
– shinsou would help deku instead of the other way around. deku all throughout the series had been helping people, from bakugo to eri. shinsou had no reason to be helped for he had already been training himself toward his goal. bakugo was in danger which was a standard save the distressed trope for a pilot episode; todoroki was having family issues; iida had revenge issues; kota had heroes issues; eri had abuse issues. shinsouâs issue isnât necessarily big enough for him to need dekuâs help as he could handle that on his own already while deku needed shinsouâs help on realizing he needed othersâ help more. (why him? deku thought of shinsou after he activated vestiges.)
– deku isnât going to be the symbol of peace but of hope. he has been saving people by helping them instead of putting himself out as a lone pillar.
– shinsou can be an advocate of those who have dreams. he had been called the star of general department because he strived despite his supposed role.
tl;dr: i really hope they would bring the best out of each other in canon
