“   takase - san !!  ”    voice is unmistakable ,  especially at such volume.  fingers jab playfully a few times at shoulder as he passes.   “ you been holdin’ out on me !   you and me :  KARAOKE !  whatta ya say ?  ”

        “    you’d turn down a colleague treating you to dinner just because you don’t want to take a night off??    ”

            don’t need to ask me twice

now that i’ve mentioned that, i have two headcanons to give. before ecto lost his legs, his body had a little more bulk to it and he didn’t have the enormous trenchcoat. still had the mask, but he had a full suit that was in the same style. using his arms and legs like that, he was a really tough customer. but then the villain took his legs from him. and he’s still fighting as a hero, he’s not letting the loss of his legs define who he is. but he’s still scared to lose any more. so the costume change comes with the powerful lightweight prosthetics, but he also blocks his arms off. they’re hidden under the trench coat and more than likely he keeps them at his sides or crossed or something. just out of the way. because what would he do if they were torn off like his legs?? he can’t imagine losing more than he already has.

and think about how he uses his legs. think of all of the physical therapy he went through to get to even walking comfortably on the regular prosthetics, and then walking one ones that were completely different. think of all of the times he must have fallen over and scraped himself up, only to grab something and hoist himself back up. think of all of the training he went through afterwards to completely change his fighting style to just use the legs that don’t make as much of a difference as they had if he lost the prosthetics in a battle. think of how much strength and flexibility he has in his waist and hips and how many weeks/months it took to get to this spot. and think about how he still trains himself into the ground when he can, even though he does enjoy life more now because of that loss, because he doesn’t ever want to take anything for granted again.

just saying.

“ ah…. “   kirishima had a feeling that was the case but it always sucks to hear it out loud. especially from your teacher.   “ are they like…. failing failing? or about to fail…? “

         ❛❛ ah   ,   you  think  so    ?   um   ,   i  don’t  really  have  anything  noteworthy  that’s  new.  but…     i  have  gotten  better  at  hand  to  hand  combat. ❜❜

“   No kidding!”    In a world where quirks commonly held indirect effects on their users, it was actually a bit underwhelming. Of course, Hizashi had quite the active imagination– “to be honest, I thought there’d be fangs or something…” He immediately corrected himself, waving his hands frantically-   “not that this isn’t super cool to see! I’m super digging it.  ”
