When new first years come, it becomes a tradition for them to add their pronouns. It’d be a way to remember the ones they lost, students and staff. They’d never remove anyone’s name, and eventually it’d become so big it covers all the walls.

Class 1-A would visit as pro-heroes and be surprised to see that the chart was still there. Iida would remember when he was just a first year and did it to avoid making the same mistake. It’d become a thing of pride, everytime they stop by, they’d add a little thing to their sections. Whether it’d be their marriages, or kids. It’d be a way for them to remember when they were just teenagers.

I imagine they’ll stay in the same building all three years, so there’s only a new round of first years every three years. They’re probably didn’t even intend to leave it up on the walls, but they were told the cleaning staff would handle removing it since they have to deep clean for the new students anyway. Except Aizawa asks the staff to leave it up. 

He doesn’t explain it to his new students at all. He just leaves it. The new kids see it when they move in and have no context for it’s existence. They know the names, of course. Some of them are the names of some really popular rookies, after all. And it’s not too hard to piece together what they think they’re supposed to do. Names, pronouns, colors and stickers, and what they can only assume are inside jokes. Its a bond-building exercise to sit there and create their own chart and hang it up next to the old one.

And it keeps happening. Each new group sees the others and makes their own assumption this is a tradition they’re meant to continue.

There are two other classes up on those walls by the time someone comes to visit the dorms. I imagine after the first one sees it, they have to tell all the others. They take pictures and can’t get over how lovely and sweet it is to see such a relic of their time at UA. Some names they haven’t heard in a few years that make their chests ache. Some names that have changed with marriage or otherwise. It just brings back such fond memories.

obligatory explanation: the knights radiant are a fictious organization in brandon sanderson’s the stormlight archive series, which consists of ten orders that protected mankind. each of the ten orders attracts specific people who believe in specific ideals. each of the orders of the knights radiant has access to two distinct powers, which i’ll explain with each character analysis i do (in case you ever read this lmao) and each order has a specific set of five ideals! the first ideal is the same “life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination” but the other four differ amongst all the ten orders! with each ideal you speak, well, you get a huge sword (called shardblade) and a set of armor (called shardplate) as long as you mean those ideals. well i suppose that’s the best explanation i can give really.

ashido mina is really interesting, so i had to say….willshaper!

willshapers are bold, outgoing, capricious. their oaths speak about personal fulfilment and freedom! ashido has never had any qualms about who she is as a person, and even if she did, she wasn’t afraid to express it!

obligatory quiz analysis incoming!

The Willshapers believe strongly that all people should be free to make their own choices. Their oaths are themed toward freedom and letting people be free to express themselves and make their own way in life.

The Willshapers have a reputation for attracting builders, craftspeople, and creators to the Radiants. However, while this aspect of them is accurate, the actual membership of the Order is far more varied. Their powers lend themselves to creation, true, but their oaths are focused on freedom and personal fulfillment. Many among the Willshapers are warriors focused on freeing those who are captive, and others are focused on radical self-expression. The Willshapers contain many gregarious and even flamboyant characters who make their own way, taking the path they choose. They are united through a love of building, but some consider the building of society to be more important than the building of structures. Among the Willshapers, you’ll find both those who dress very conservatively and those who wear very daring and original styles. The common ground is that both agree that freedom to express who you are is the important part. Among the Radiants, they are generally focused on building, training, and making infrastructure. In war, they might be sent to a town to fortify it against an oncoming invasion. Before or in the wake of Desolations, they would teach the people things like sanitation, bronzeworking, or other essentials. Anywhere you find someone resisting tyranny or oppression, you’ll often find a Willshaper cheering them on.

ashido believes in making her own choices and isn’t afraid to resist any form of danger (most of the time, the thing with gigantomachia is also acceptable, people falter, buddy) she’s as natural as people come, and she’s very friendly with everybody, in a way you could say she creates a bond with everybody she talks to!

KHAKHSKHSK THIS WAS VERY HARD FOR ME TO SAY, BUTTTT- welllll-

now mind you, it kinda hurt me to say it but i have to be a bit objective here djdjdkhakhkh

i think she’d be a skybreaker because of the moment she said this: “If we start another fight… if we break the law… then we’re no better than the villains!”

skybreakers place great importance to the law. which is what tsuyu does. tsuyu believes in the hero system, in the law, and in doing what the law says is right. she’s got a good sense of justice and morals, but sometimes, it may be so that the others around find it suffocating- both in the case of skybreakers and tsuyu as well, if her argument with midoriya was any indication. 

obligatory quiz analysis incoming!!

Skybreaker oaths are themed toward justice, fighting for causes, and enforcing social rules. They generally reinforce the importance of moral codes, legal structures, and similar boundaries that protect civilization.

The Skybreakers were the enforcers of the Knights Radiant, often tasked with keeping the peace, policing the other Orders, and making certain that dangerous or dark forces in the world were contained. This sometimes gave them a bad reputation among the more free-thinking Orders of Knights, but the Skybreakers (at their best) were not merciless. They were the ones who believed that nobody, not even a Radiant, should be above being questioned. They were the ones that did the sometimes tough job of making certain that the Orders didn’t abuse their power to become tyrants, as the Skybreakers saw that those with powers could easily oppress those who had none.

They tend to attract those who believe in the importance of legal code, those who have strong moral codes of their own, and those who think the best defense against anarchy are things like patriotism, moral fiber, and rules to govern behavior.

you have no idea how much this hurt me djdjdkdkj. interestingly enough, skybreakers and windrunners (what i consider midoriya to be) often clashed on the perspective question of what is right? 

very bestest boy

now, his character is actually kinda complex in this regard. i think, he, would be an elsecaller just as yaomomo is! but i think he represents more of the complex forms of the elsecallers, so here is my take

obligatory quiz analysis:

Elsecaller oaths are, like those of the Lightweavers or Skybreakers, themed toward the individual. In this case, the theme is progress—becoming better with each oath, seeking to explore their true potential and reach it. Because of this, the Order is open to many different types, so long as they want to improve themselves.

Thoughtful, careful, and cautious, the Elsecallers are generally regarded as the wisest of the Radiants. They seek self-improvement and personal betterment in their lives, but aren’t limited to one specific theme or set of Ideals. This makes them one of the most open and welcoming of orders, though they do tend to attract those who are less flamboyant. They have their share of scholars, and often a large number of theologians, but also attract those who are interested in leadership. They are good at encouraging others, but some are known to set their sights upon the things they want and then seize them. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to be among the best tacticians, and are logistical geniuses, aided in part by their abilities to create food and water for armies, but also their ability to move in and out of Shadesmar

tenya is very much dedicated to being a better version of himself, very much so. it’s a notable character trait, whether comical or serious. he’s generally the leader, and is very much dependable and trustable in this regard, HOWEVER. 

this is important, it’s said in this very analysis that:

“They are good at encouraging others, but some are known to set their sights upon the things they want and then seize them.”

and it is perfect! i think we all know what i’m talking about *coughs* stain arc *coughs* but like i find that he really does exemplify this quote. 

aka saori is driven to the most miserable point of boredom, spare her

all right, this is an attempt to me to understanding horikoshi’s handling of his character. 

all right. lets go.

now. 

i really can’t think of him fitting any other order than THIS: dustbringer/releaser.

the dustbringers had a name similar to the destroyers in the actual stormlight archive series, so they want to be called releasers. now their philosophy, i find, is absolutist at best, much like bakugou himself.

honestly, this one line from the coppermind wikia is enough to tell me that bakugou belongs to this order  “The Dustbringers believe that great power requires a strong will to control it.” and while i can’t see much of the positive attributes his fans attribute him, i do recognize he is very strong willed. he does have a powerful quirk and he is very determined. i can recognize that much in him. 

Dustbringer oaths were themed toward responsibility. They were led to understand that the powers they used needed to be properly channeled, much as their own desires and wills needed proper form and shape. As a Dustbringer moved through the oaths, they were taught greater powers of destruction—and are one of the only orders where their abilities weren’t all available at the beginning, but instead were delivered slowly, as they made the proper oaths. Each oath led to a greater understanding of power, the nature of holding it, and the associated responsibility.

Dustbringers—though they sometimes objected to the common name for their order, preferring instead to be called Releasers—are living contradictions among the Knights Radiant. They believe great power requires a strong will to control it. They often attract tinkerers who like to dig down into the shape and soul of a thing, break it, and see what makes it work. However, their oaths are themed toward control—that they need to be able to control, contain, and channel the terrible power inside them. They tend to object to those who focus only on their destructive sides, as they argue that in order to create, one must understand the pieces of the thing they are trying to make. They don’t see themselves as being about destruction—though their powers are the most destructive of any order of Knights Radiant. They instead see their nature as being about control, precision, and understanding. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to act as the equivalent of artillery in a modern army. If you want a large swath of land destroyed or burned, you call in the Dustbringers. However, they were also often used as sappers, engineers, and strategists.

They attract anyone who likes to take things apart, who likes to know how things work. They also attract those who are a little foolhardy at times—brave soldiers who see themselves as containing and controlling terrible destruction so it won’t get out of hand and hurt innocents.

im guessing this is where bakugou’s character development in the future will be geared to; to learn control, and he’s definitely foolhardy, for sure. but so are most shonen characters, so i’ll spare him.

hm. he’s such a typical stoneward LMFAO, it’s not even funny ddjdkjd. well, it’s kinda ironic that a guy with a hardening quirk belongs to an order called “stoneward”. 

all right, the core tenet of the stonewards is to be “present whenever and wherever they are needed”. eijirou wants this so, so much- he wants to be there when he’s needed, he wants to be seen as dependable. and in many ways, he is!

obligatory analysis from the quiz:

Stoneward oaths focus on team dynamics, on learning to work with others, and on being there for those who need them. They put the interests of others before their own, and will not bend their Ideals for the sake of convenience.

Stonewards are the infantry and ground troops of the Radiants and are renowned as their finest soldiers. (A title that, on occasion, the Windrunners dispute.) They tend to attract those who are most interested in warfare, prowess with weapons, or athletics of any sort. They like a challenge, and in times of peace are seen engaging in (and running) various sporting events of both a military and non-military nature. Many enjoy the outdoors, and you’ll find exploration enthusiasts among them, as well as those who just like the fresh air. They tend to be known for their can-do attitudes and for taking on enormous projects (sometimes more than they can handle). However, most agree that the primary attribute of the Stonewards is their dependability. Though sometimes gregarious, they are never flighty. If a Stoneward is your friend, they will be there for you, and that is a core tenet of their Order—to be there when they are needed. Another key attribute is their ability to take a difficult situation with few resources and make something better of it. Though not known as inventors or creators, they are good at improvising solutions to problems in the moment.

hm. yaomomo. a very interesting character, truly. i diagnose best girl with…elsecaller!

elsecallers seek to master themselves as a whole, they want to progress on their own, and they want to be the best versions of themselves they can be. elsecallers act on logical thinking and intelligence….not instinct. this is the entire reason that i felt shouto wouldn’t be an elsecaller; he acts on instinct. but not yaomomo. yaomomo is a very proficient strategist, as stated multiple times and as proved too. she seeks to be the best hero she can be, and honestly? i think that’s good for her.

yaomomo is definitely thoughtful, careful and cautious. definitely very encouraging too. she is very knowledgeable, and she’s also proving herself to be a good leader as seen. the whole reason she compared herself to shouto was that she felt she couldn’t reach his level of true potential, but thankfully, she got out of that mindscape djdkdjdk.

NOW 

best girl, baby girl, i declare her to be an…edgedancer!

(honestly she’d be a lightweaver if the traitor!ochako theory was true, and i’ve seen some really deep analyses for that. how ironic that ochako, izuku’s love interest, is practically analogous to todoroki shouto says the tododeku shipper in me)

edgedancers are the order of people who basically look out for the underdogs of society. they’re told to have focused on the ordinary people, on the people the soldiers are more usually likely to forget, and they honed their powers in order to heal anyone they could find. 

ochako’s reason for becoming a hero was to help her parents- ordinary people who struggled in a quirkist society. she is very compassionate and kind, and she definitely looks towards remembering her duty as a hero first. she pushed aside her feelings for izuku because she wanted to be a hero, to help others, and that’s honestly a very edgedancer thing to do. edgedancers are also very easily underestimated because they care easily, just as ochako had been underestimated. their strengths are not very obvious, but in battle? you won’t find anyone more striking or more determined than the edgedancers, which i think exemplifies ochako’s character truly and here’s the obligatory quote from the knights radiant quiz.

Edgedancer oaths are themed around remembering the ordinary people of the world—those who aren’t powerful generals or Radiants. Too often, the actions of the powerful have terrible effects on the people with no voice, and the Edgedancers consider it their solemn duty to remember that the people are the ones they truly serve.

The Edgedancers are known as being caring and graceful. Among the Knights Radiant, they see it as their duty to care for the people and are often less interested in war than they are about trying to improve the daily lives of the common folk. Often, a mid-sized town would have an Edgedancer or two on permanent assignment, where they’d use Regrowth to provide healing and would work for the common good of the town.

Edgedancers tend to be among the more religious of Radiants and are the Order where you’re most likely to find former religious leaders who end up bonding a spren. During wartime, they often act as the mobile medics, eschewing actual combat to heal or pull out the wounded or those trapped in terrible situations. However, there are some renowned for their graceful and skilled prowess in combat, occasionally used as scouts or special forces troops in conjunction with a team of Windrunners or Skybreakers. One should never assume the Edgedancers are in any way base just because they often ignore high society; they are renowned as some of the most refined and graceful of Radiants.

not a single one of my followers will get this (tis an exaggeration lmao) but im doing it anyway because i want to

explanation: the knights radiant are a fictious organization in brandon sanderson’s the stormlight archive series, which consists of ten orders that protected mankind. each of the ten orders attracts specific people who believe in specific ideals. each of the orders of the knights radiant has access to two distinct powers, which i’ll explain with each character analysis i do (in case you ever read this lmao) and each order has a specific set of five ideals! the first ideal is the same “life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination” but the other four differ amongst all the ten orders! with each ideal you speak, well, you get a huge sword (called shardblade) and a set of armor (called shardplate) as long as you mean those ideals. well i suppose that’s the best explanation i can give really.

so. let’s do this. 

after reading the descriptions of both windrunner and stoneward, i finally decided that midoriya izuku is….a windrunner! 

“Windrunner oaths are themed toward protection, particularly defending innocents or those who are unable to protect themselves. The Windrunners tend to attract “big sibling” types, who seek to protect the defenseless, but also enjoy action and fighting for what they believe in. They’re primarily scouts, though they often work as special forces groups, able to deliver teams of Radiants behind enemy lines for secret missions. They tend to be the most like conventional soldiers, believing in structures of command, team dynamics, and the importance of a squad of brothers and sisters. They often have larger numbers of squires than other Orders and focus more than any other Order on mastering their weapons.”

izuku wanted to be a hero so as to protect people. all might inspired him because he could save nearly everybody, so that’s one point. izuku is definitely a big sibling type, and he does believe in team work. 

what’s more, the windrunner ideals are geared towards protecting the innocent, the defenseless, protecting people who deserve it, and following your own judgement and your heart. 

Careful, because you are asking about one of my favourite topics and I am about to unleash an essay on you. 

Todoroki’s entire existence, his amazing quirk, the abuse he and his family suffered is linked to All Might, through Endeavor’s destructive obsession. Yet Shouto decided to defy the purpose he was created for and chose instead All Might as his inspiration.

In my mind there is no doubt that he has a claim to All Might’s legacy. 

And it is indeed a question - if Deku is “Save” and Bakugou is “Win” - what is left for Shouto?

For Deku and Bakugou, their drive, how they define what being a hero is stated in their origin chapter clearly. So if we go back to Shouto’s origin chapter, it’s a striking difference that all was see there is confusion. With his amazing quirk, he was born to be a hero, but his reason is unclear; all he knows is who he doesn’t want to be. 

Unfortunately that someone is one of the greatest heroes if Shouto is to accept society’s judgement - second only to All Might himself.  So his confusion is totally understandable.

ok hi here we go, i love doing this   obligatory explanation: the knights radiant are a fictious organization in brandon sanderson’s the stormlight archive series, which consists of ten orders that protected mankind. each of the ten orders attracts specific people who believe in specific ideals. each of the orders of the knights radiant has access to two distinct powers, which i’ll explain with each character analysis i do (in case you ever read this lmao) and each order has a specific set of five ideals! the first ideal is the same “life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination” but the other four differ amongst all the ten orders! with each ideal you speak, well, you get a huge sword (called shardblade) and a set of armor (called shardplate) as long as you mean those ideals. well i suppose that’s the best explanation i can give really.

honestly, shouto could be either an elsecaller or a lightweaver (which is convenient, because both orders have ice powers) but since shouto had been more significantly erratic at the beginning and since his journey and character arc was about facing himself, i think he’d be a….lightweaver!

(this does not have anything to do with the fact i got lightweaver on the quiz, please)

lightweavers are significantly more different from the other radiants in that their ideals aren’t specific- they have to speak forth truths about themselves. shouto’s character arc at the beginning, as kick-started by midoriya, was about facing the truth that his powers weren’t a product of his parents’ sham marriage, but belonged to him as a person. 

obligatory analysis from the quiz incoming.

Instead of speaking specific words, or even words along a certain theme, Lightweavers speak truths about themselves—things they must admit to themselves in order to progress as people. It is theorized that because Lightweavers live on the line between reality and fiction, it is important for them to be able to separate the real from the lie, and only with the proper ability to do so can they move forward.

Lightweavers are the Radiants most interested in the arts, including all kinds of visual arts and theater. They range widely in personality from the quiet and introspective painter to the outgoing and gregarious stage performer, with everything in between. What unites them tends to be a love of art, though there are some few who are more interested in intrigue, secrets, and espionage. They are the spies of the Knights Radiant and are often untrusted by others (such as the stoic Skybreakers) for their love of subterfuge. They have a reputation for having looser morals than other Orders, but the Lightweavers are quick to point out that their personal values are strong. They just don’t feel they need to match what other more hardline Orders tend to require. They can be vague with oaths, and many say there is far more Cultivation in them than Honor. (Others dispute this, saying that all Orders have an equal mix, despite some spren naming themselves “honorspren.”) Lightweavers tend to be free spirits, and many among their Order see the importance of entertainment, beauty, and art in a person’s life, and strive to make sure that the world doesn’t just live through the Desolations—because mere survival isn’t enough unless there is something to live for.

this would be good for shouto because that’s what he’s been doing his whole character arc- trying to progress as a person and step out of endeavor’s shadow to be the best hero he can be. now of course, i don’t know if he’s interested in the arts (unless being a part of stage decoration counts, lmao? he does have a good sense of aesthetic with his ice, so that would count!), but the best thing about the lightweavers is that they include a wide variety of people. he definitely has a strong moral compass, but he does what he thinks needs to be done, most of the time. 

he’s not a very free spirit either, but his journey is all about finding something to live for, something that can be worthy to people. his personal values are far stronger than the law itself (as shown in how he was ready to beat the chief of police itself because he didn’t agree with the law), which is what being a lightweaver is all about. 

interestingly enough, lightweavers maintained morale. shouto doesn’t usually maintain morale, but his words were what sustained midoriya when confused about kouta. he gave yaoyorozu the confidence she needed. he told iida to stand up and be who he should be. heck, wasn’t he the one who told an insecure ashido that a dance would be a good idea? shouto wants to be seen as someone soothing, someone reliable, and he wants to cultivate an image of himself in that regard- which is also another lightweaver trait, wanting to cultivate an image of oneself to help others.
