The most disrespectful thing in BNHA is that Shouto Todoroki’s quirk coulda been “Ice and Fire” or “Freeze and Flame” or literally anything else but instead they had to go and call him “Half Hot, Half Cold”. Half Hot. Half Cold. Like a mattress for picky couples. Like dessert ala mode. Like a microwaved hot-pocket.
He’s got all this power and all this backstory and all this redemption and he can literally manifest cascading mountains of pure ice and swelling pyres of incinerating flame but nah his damn quirk name sounds like a space heater and AC wrapped up in one. Like he’s the hot new item on 3am cable television for 5 easy payments of $29.99 plus tax and broken limbs. Fuck that. Fuck that shit.
Bakugou calls him Icy-Hot out of mockery and honestly? Improvement. Massive improvement. Bakugou named two heroes better names than they could come up with for themselves and this is the fucker what named himself King Explosion Murder. That’s a problem Icy-Hot. That’s a problem Mr. Space Heater. Mr. Thermostat. For the love of god save yourself from his terrible quirk name I’m outright begging you. Talk to the Quirk Registry people. Talk to anyone. Please just fucking contact your agent Todo Shoutoroki
when you haven’t seen your shapeshifting giant forest spirit deer bf for a whole year so obviously the first thing you do is greet him with a really bad pun
Me: You can but you’re going to have to wait for half an hour.
Man: Oh no its okay I’ll just take whoever’s available.
Me: No one is available right now. It’s going to be a half hour wait.
Man: Oh its okay just give me whoever can take me right now.
Me: There. Is. No. One. Available. To. Give. You. A. Hair. Cut. Right. Now.
Man: what do you mean?
Me rapidly losing patience: I have a colour and my coworker has a Perm. We are both busy and there is no one else in the salon. So if you’d like to take a seat we can fit you in in 30 minutes.
Man: Oh….. Well I don’t want to wait.
Me: Then I suggest you make an appointment and come back and you won’t have to wait.
