Kryptonians are predator species that traditionally hunted using endurance, stalking their prey for days and miles with single minded focus. Evolutionarily, that intensity never really faded. Furthermore, Kryptonians often inherently connected interests to purpose and thus to personality. I mean, in Krypton’s later half of existence they literally started breeding Kryptonians in a caste system that designated purpose at birth, obviously these beings meant for one thing are going to be invested in that one thing with their whole kryptussy. Kal-El might have been a natural birth but his parents weren’t. His grand parents weren’t. He definitely inherited that interests=purpose=personality psychological pipeline.
This is all to say that Clark Kent has been known to exhibit very very normal Kryptonian behaviors and psychology but comes off as wildly autistic to humans. That man doesn’t ever just focus. He hyperfocuses. He doesn’t have hobbies, he has special interests and obsessions. Bless him.
Headcannons for Todoroki and his super flustered and giggling mess S/O? OWO
This is so,, wholesome,,
(After note: after writing this, I now have more love for Shoto-)
Shoto was attracted to you from the moment he first heard you laugh.
Of course, the reason he was attracted, was because he made you laugh.
All he did was speak two words to you and you burst out into bubbly giggles. You were a blushing mess and he couldn’t help but a grow a blush of his own.
He doesn’t realize it at first- but he starts finding ways to make you laugh.
Sometimes he’d just bump into you, or place his hand on your shoulder. If he made you laugh, it’d be great. If he could make you blush too, he felt like a winner.
At one point, Izuku asked him if he liked you. He immediately denied it, but now the gears were turning in his head.
He thought about you. A lot. He thought about the way the corner of your lips turned up and how cute it was when a little velvet blush adorned your cheeks. He couldn’t help it- he had fallen for you.
So he made his move- and he asked you to be his girlfriend.
Even after you were together, you were consistently smitten with him, and he loved it.
Especially now that he could do more to fluster you.
He would randomly pepper your face in kisses. Since physical affection came so rarely, these moments were extra flustering for you.
He loves to give you kisses in random places. Your hand, your arms, your cheek, the top of your head- anywhere that can make you smile.
He’s not one for jokes, but he does go far enough to ask Denki and Eijiro for a few jokes to help him make you laugh.
Anything he can do to make you laugh would make him happy.
Your personality is exactly what makes him attracted to you, and he tries to draw that out in you as much as he can.
seeing as i can’t find any list like this here on tumblr, here is a list of my favorite todoroki-centric fics that i stumbled across so far on ao3. this list will most probably be updated once i stumble across more gems, but these are the todoroki-centric fics that tugged at my heartstrings the most at the moment! take note that these aren’t arranged in any particular order. if you have other fic suggestions that aren’t here, feel free to add them!
(fyi, this wasn’t meant to be shippy at all, but naturally, there are a few tododeku fics here because it’s one of the fandom’s biggest ships, but at it’s heart, it’s really about todoroki, and that’s what matters!)
the stars are floating and we are flying / lunalou / 39.k words / completed
Aizawa starts walking towards the exit, obviously expecting Shouto to follow him, but Shouto’s feet are frozen in place. His eyes flicker from the distorted reflection of himself in the ice to where All Might is giving him a long look, eyes kinder than anything Todoroki has ever been deserving of, and he feels sick.
“Todoroki-kun,” Midoriya says gently, squeezing his arm in what Shouto presumes is meant to be a reassuring gesture. “It’s going to be okay.”
He doesn’t think Midoriya is in any place to tell him what okay is, all things considered, but he chooses to keep quiet on the matter.
notes: best todoroki-centric fic i’ve ever read. obvious todoroki whump, but mostly deals about his dissociation and how it makes an impact on how he lives his day-to-day life. it’s also accurate to how dissociation truly is like, so it’s not cliche in the slightest. can be considered as tododeku pre-slash, but as the tags say, it’s mostly gen, and more than being tododeku, it’s really todoroki & class 1-a, because everyone loves and cares for him
broken tethers / jinxedforever / 40k words / ongoing
Shoto tries to kill himself, Kirishima is observant, Midoriya is roped into the fray, Aizawa is protective of his kids, and Class 1-A does their best to shower Todoroki with love and fluff.
notes: it’s pretty graphic, not gonna lie. that aside, it’s well-written and has a really nice build up. the tags are also promising, so it’s definitely something worth reading and waiting for.
they look at me like i look at you / shadowsandstars / 3.6k / completed
(or: The first night in the dorms, Todoroki wakes up and half his room is covered in ice.)
notes: a mildly short hurt/comfort todoroki fic. it’s a bit of a mix of people helping todoroki and todoroki helping himself. regardless, it’s a pleasant read
bittersweet / acai / 11k / ongoing
Summer break begins with a violent attack from his father and a substantial amount of fear, but that’s alright because Midoriya is here.
notes: the last time this was updated was back in november of 2018, but there’s only one chapter left before it supposedly ends, and even if it never does get completed, it’s really good, and you can probably mentally write your own ending for the story, since the story has created enough background for that. warnings for actual scenes of child abuse in action, instead of it being merely referential, as well as for the tododeku moments, because todoroki is clearly in love with midoriya here, but the main topic is still about todoroki’s home situation.
call the fire department (i’m burning up with love) / edgedancer / 22.5k / completed
An (abridged) list of things Todoroki Shouto did not have before U.A.: Loud neighbors. Fire alarms. Friends. Midoriya Izuku.
notes: an incredibly amusing fic about todoroki’s dorm (and love) life.
and don’t ask a lot and you won’t lose a lot / ahsoka / 8.6k / ongoing
“Todoroki-kun,” his face slowly breaks into a grin, and there’s tears in his eyes, Shouto isn’t sure why, he thought this is what Midoriya would have wanted him to do. “Todoroki-kun. I’m so proud of you.”
Oh.
Or, the one where Todoroki learns that you have to ask for help before you can start to heal.
notes: basically, todoroki finally decides to ask for help from others about his home situation
the choke it rose back / qpenguin98 / 4k / completed
It takes longer than he’s comfortable with for the blurry features to focus into a face he recognizes. Aizawa stands next to him, eyebrows furrowed, face half hidden in his scarf.
This probably isn’t the best situation to be in.
“Ah, hello Aizawa sensei.”
notes: aizawa & todoroki with some implied tododeku. it’s short but sweet, and definitely what you should read if you want some todoroki hurt/comfort but aren’t willing to invest yourself in anything particularly long or slow
hold on tight / lunalou / 26.5k / ongoing
five times somebody from 1-a hugs todoroki and the one time he hugs them first
notes: this is just some class 1-a and todoroki love + realizing how badly touch-starved and sad todoroki is. we need more todoroki love fest fics like this
summer stars / pitviperofdoom / 61.2k / completed
It’s been judged safe to send the students of UA home to their families for the first three weeks of summer, much to the relief of everyone whose name isn’t Todoroki Shouto. Luckily, Midoriya has a solution for him, and Midoriya Inko has a lot of love to give.
notes: this is the last edition to the “send endeavor to the shadow realm” series, and i don’t think you need to read the entire series to understand this story, but it makes references to the past works of the series, so if you want to really understand every one of those references, then go check out the entire thing. they’re all really good anyway, so i doubt you’d be disappointed. take note that this is a tododeku fic, with some heavy todoroki whump in the latter chapters because of the villain that appears. also, midoriya inko is the absolute best
yesterday’s son / all_time_low3st / 18.6k / ongoing
From a prompt: “I was thinking. What if they fought a villain w a quirk that made Todoroki back into a kid temporarily (like, mentally too not just physically) and class 1-a has to babysit smalls Shouto -w- maybe they don’t want Aizawa to find out.
notes: the obligatory todoroki-turns-into-a-baby fic! class 1-a shows all the love for him and we get more insight on how todoroki’s abusive childhood affects him as he’s under the quirk that de-aged him. tododeku is already an established couple in the start of the fic, but since todoroki is a baby here, it’s not really touched upon, and if tododeku isn’t your cup of tea, you can still read this with the mindset that they’re just best friends
quid pro quo / quintessence / 11.8k / completed
Todoroki desperately wants to be a good boyfriend, but he’s worried his past traumas have infected him somehow. Made him unfit to be loved. But he’ll be damned if he isn’t at least going to try.
notes: an amazing fic of how todoroki’s trauma and parents’ abusive relationship might affect his romantic relationships (in this case, it’s midoriya). it’s a sequel to another fic of the author’s that’s also quite todoroki-centric, but i enjoyed this one a lot more, so it’s why i’m putting it here on the list. the first story is also really nice though!
you never walk alone / sulbeats / 1.4k / ongoing
AU where Shouto snaps after his accident, leaving his dysfunctional family and shitty father to become a villain—and Class 1-A helps him find his path again
notes: this is a villain!todoroki fic that i’m super looking forward to! he’s basically going from villain to hero once all might insists on giving todoroki a chance by enrolling him in ua. honestly, this fic has so much potential, and i’m excited to see where it’ll go!

The final chapter of Haikyuu which is the most magnificent sports anime I've ever read.
Before you scroll down I'M BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER 402 FIRST. This is going to be super lengthy post hehe.
This is a spoiler zone, you have been warned.
I'm not gonna lie while reading this chapter I WAS CRYING THE ENTIRE TIME.
There are so many significant moments during this chapter (I honestly feel like this summary isn't going to cover everything.)
This moment during the beginning of chapter 402 when Ushijima and Tendo, I truly believe Tendo is Ushijima's first actual friend. It was shown after Karasuno VS Shiratorizawa match (Season 3) but their friendship solidifies even more during Chapter 395 timeskip when Tendo called Ushijima after the World's Match (when Team Japan lost & Ushijima faced criticism) he's the strong pillar that grounds Ushijima.
Tendo truly deserves this moment, he & Ushijima not just considering each other as 'teammates' or 'comrades' but best friends.
Everyone is hyping up on Hinata & Kageyama or Iwaizumi & Oikawa's friendship BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT USHIJIMA'S AND TENDO'S FRIENDSHIP?
YES. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. LOOK AT THEM. so beautiful. *sobs*
Everyone is talking about how glorious Lev & Alisa looks modelling together and their billboard in the streets of Shibuya but can we pause for 5 seconds to stare at the Yaku Morisuke?
LET US FREAKOUT LOOK AT YAKU WEARING THIS GORGEOUS SUIT?
Sir YOU LOOK FINE AS HELL.
I also love the fact Yaku and Lev still communicate with each other, Lev even called Yaku asking him if he has seen the billboard in Shibuya. How precious ❤ also Yaku part of the Russian VLeague team??? HOLY SHIT.
Also, I love that almost everyone in team Karasuno are gathering in Tanaka's house while watching the Olympic game together. Their solid friendship just have my heart and soul.
This moment is where all AsaNoya stans are SCREAMING TO OBLIVION. Asahi and Nishinoya TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER. Like HOLY SHIT GOOD LORD IMAGINE ALL OF THE FANFICS WE WILL GET TO READ. (Ao3 writers I'm looking at you guys)
This panel just took my breath away, I started tearing up when I was reading this. It's a full circle of Oikawa's journey - he is now against the people he wanted to defeat during this youth (Kageyama and Ushijima). He is even standing on the other side of the court against his best friend Iwaizumi.
I want to make a comparison between Ushijima & Kageyama and Iwaizumi during this panel.
Ushijima & Kageyama as Oikawa's rivals. During middle school he felt like he couldn't stand a chance against a genius setter who is 2 years his junior, in his middle school until high school him & team keeps on losing against Ushijima (who is also considered as a genius and a stroke of luck because of his left handed spikes.) Oikawa desires to DEFEAT them. This strong sense of competitiveness have matured & the adrenaline of finally become better than them WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE A GENUIS but because of SHEER HARD WORK and TENACITY.
What makes them vastly different from Iwaizumi?
It is clearly shown that it was Iwaizumi who said to Oikawa "I will defeat you on the day we fight." Not Oikawa saying that he wants to defeat Iwaizumi - instead he said "I'll be waiting for it." Oikawa does NOT have the same intense desire of needing to defeat Iwaizumi (compared to Ushijima & Kageyama) instead he said it with nostalgia. Despite Iwaizumi no longer playing volleyball professionally he is still associated with volleyball as Team Japan's athlete trainer.
It's also important to mention that Iwaizumi is Oikawa's foundation of friendship and support, Iwaizumi keeps Oikawa grounded- they have seen each other's struggles and success. THAT SHIT JUST GOT ME AND MY FEELS.
ALSO LOOK AT IWAIZUMI'S HUGE ASS PROUD GRIN, OUT OF ALL SMILES IN THIS WORLD IWAIZUMI HAJIME'S SMILE IS MY FAVORITE. (Clearly I'm an Iwaizumi simp)
the moment we've all be waiting for...
OIKAWA TOORU OFFICIALLY PART OF THE ARGENTINIAN NATIONAL TEAM.
HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HOLD MY HAND BECAUSE I'M SMILING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN OF MY EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER IN THIS MOMENT.
I just want to say this...
OIKAWA TOORU IS THE REAL UNDERDOG OF HAIKYUU.
Imagine he has NO National experience (unlike Hinata who actually got to go to Nationals & made a name for himself.) Oikawa got the skills, the strategy, the tactics, dedication, and intense competitiveness but HE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE (he even went as far as pushing himself to be better in volleyball resulting to injuring his knee. THAT IS SOME INTENSE DEDICATION.) During his middle school and high school volleyball matches or to be able to participate in Nationals or even in Japan All Youth Team's & Trainings NOT ONCE HE IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY (and honestly that shit sucks because you know that your actually good at something but no one bats an eyelash towards your direction? It must have hit on Oikawa's pride.)
OIKAWA IS THE REAL UNDERDOG. He does not lack height (compared to Hinata) but he lacks the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and he lacks the chance of be in center stage when he was in Japan.
But now in Argentina he becomes the REAL KING OF THE COURT. Now, he FINALLY is at center stage dazzling brighter than anyone, he is the most talked about volleyball player - he used to be a nobody in Japan but now he is someone that everyone knows and acknowledges.
Hands down the BEST character development.
Now I NEED Haikyuu chapter centered on Oikawa's struggles and experiences in Argentina - alone in a foreign country to chase his dreams that shit is amazing and inspiring.
This panel made me stop breathing for a while. LOOK AT MAGNIFICENT AND GLORIOUS THEY ARE.
JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.
I HAVE NO WORDS. EVERYONE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL AND LOOK AT THAT TINY IWA IN THE CENTER.
My skin has cleared. My sadness now gone. My lifespan increased by 10 years. Someone please put this panel on my forehead, thank you very much.
There are so many important portions in the following scenes in this panel but I choose this one because it reminded me of Hinata & Kageyama's dynamics since Season 1.
Hinata always calling for a toss to Kageyama (remember Season 1: Dateko VS Karasuno match, or during Season 2 Training camp Hinata always calls for a toss and Kageyama always delivers.)
The greatest weapon is their powerful bond and synchronization, their freak duo toss that shifts the momentum of the game.
Kageyama and Hinata: the greatest rival, the greatest opponent, the greatest ally, and now the greatest weapon FINALLY used on center stage.
For me this moment really put Haikyuu into it's full circle, it really put it into completion, and it truly made it perfect ending.
This image of Udai Tenma drawing on his new manga that is ABOUT VOLLEYBALL and this little boy riding a bicycle looking at the TV (this ICONIC moment Season 1 Episode 1, Haikyuu Chapter 1)
Hinata Shoyou used to be the boy riding his bicycle looking at Karasuno's number 10 Little Giant - now Hinata Shoyou isn't just known as 'Little Giant' but Ninja Shoyou proudly wearing this Number 10 Jersey PART OF JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.
He is now someone ALL children aspires to be, someone that they want to become in the future - someone that inspires them to play volleyball and keep on breaking the tall wall looming over them.
I FULL BLOWN SOBBED DURING THIS MOMENT. The impact, the power, the intensity of volleyball into their lives.
These two moments really struck a chord, Haikyuu isn't just about Hinata and his teammates. It is about no matter how little or big your journey is it will always leave the GREATEST impact into someone's life.
This wraps up the 8 truly amazing years of Haikyuu.
Furudate and his wonderful team of assistants, editors, translators, and researchers. Thank you for bring us joy through Haikyuu - thank you for inspiring us everyday and for creating these characters.
I've been reading Haikyuu for 3 years already, when I first watched a Haikyuu with no expectations and no idea what is volleyball but now I am fully immersed in the Haikyuu fandom. Who would have thought I'll be obsessed with this anime? I've watched and read so many manga & animes but it is Haikyuu that really struck me the most.
This ending is BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS - it really blew me off the roof and I have a mixture of both sadness and joy. I'm sad that Haikyuu is ending but I'm also happy that all of the characters I grew to love have forged their own paths and grew not just as volleyball players but as characters that we can connect and relate on.
I would like to quote my favorite line in Haikyuu:
"For today you happen to be the defeated. But what will you become tomorrow?"
- Chapter 368: What Will You Become?
Thank you for the last 8 years Furudate!
(This is an extremely lengthy post, if you have come this far, congratulations! 🎉)
the way this one page made all my dreams come true. all these promises fulfilled but especially oiks and iwachan being opponents on a national level and oikawa being there to “defeat everyone” as he said he would and as he deserves
Not alone anymore
it’s officially March 22 so I am now allowed to post this:
Ever notice how he was still innocent in his first years of Kitagawa Daichi? A lot of people assumed that it was because of Oikawa bullying him a lot that he got tired and just did what he wanted.
But no it’s because his grandfather, the one that got him into to volleyball in the first place, who he always looked for every day to play, died. That’s what caused him to snap and have all these negative emotions around him.
That would also explain this: (credits to @iwillstillopenthewindow )

Hinata is… confusing.
Granted, most people are confusing to Kageyama, and on the whole, Hinata is typically one of the less confusing people in Kageyama’s life. Both he and Hinata like volleyball, after all. For the first time in his life, Kageyama actually feels like he gets someone, and that person gets him. He can invite Hinata over to play volleyball whenever he wants. Somehow, practicing volleyball with Hinata is actually more fun than playing it by himself. They even hang out without playing volleyball sometimes, and it’s still fun.
That’s probably why they’re dating, he thinks.
Still—boyfriend or not—Kageyama is not the best at reading people. And Hinata is being especially confusing today.
“Kageyama… do you want to… um,” Hinata mumbles, staring at his shoes as he shifts from foot to foot. “Do you want to… go to the roof?”

Kageyama tapping the milk button on the school vending machine but the milk gets stuck and won’t come down and he’s just standing there wondering why god has abandoned him.
Ok so Hinata always has WAY too much energy and it takes him forever to fall asleep. He’ll be exhausted after a game but still keep talking and talking…
BUT the moment Kageyama starts playing with/ stroking his hair, he’ll be fast asleep in less than five minutes.

I CAN EXPLAIN.
Hey there! I'm working on making cosplays of your fantasy Hinata + Kageyama designs (I love them so much), and I would like to enter them in the competition (this would involve credit to your designs, of course), and as part of this I would like to perform a skit. My first question is, if this okay? I really don't want to overstep any boundaries here. Secondly, and on a lighter note, do you have any headcanons about the characters/their interactions in this au that you could share? Thanks again!
Hi there! (and I hope you don’t mind if I publish this just in case someone is in a similar situation! If not I can take it down!)
First of all, yes! Yes of course, I’d be honored to allow you to cosplay and perform a skit in them omg that sounds absolutely amazing! I wish I were there to see it!
I haven’t thought much of the AU in terms of story or character interactions so you can basically make it your own, if you so choose! I have been toying with a few ideas that I’ll put under a cut in case I start rambling
Update: I DID ramble a l o t. I’m sorry for spilling so much im just gonna drop this into your lap and just…run. I’ve bolded some things that may be more important than the rest of the infodump.
