stupid headcanons | not accepting

after tokoyami graduates, the first thing he does is change up his costume ( because there’s no way he’s going on patrol in a bed sheet he sewed himself, lbr ). i think by this time, he has gained some control over dark shadow through intensive training, but he wanted to include an items that would make his quirk useful in all times of the day. the result came out something like this.

prompt: useless headcanons !status: accepting !

toshi has a history of dissociation & depersonalization which stems from complex-ptsd. i talked about this before already, but it’s been a minute so i want to bring it up again. his depersonalization episodes were most prevalent during his hospitalization after his injury  ( had multiple violent episodes which resulted in him completely reopening the wound on his side &, during a particularly bad one, putting several doctors, nurses, & almost gran torino in the hospital with him ) & for a while after he returns to hero work. 

a lot changed for him very very quickly: his appearance changed, everything changed, he gradually becomes scrawny & weak & that shift in appearance is his bane. he still has episodes, is just better at coping, & still has a hard time fully accepting his new appearance & recognizing it as ‘ him ’.

despite  HATING  all  forms  of  gambling  ,  jubei  is  oddly  talented  at  it  &  .  has  extensive  knowledge  of  nearly  any  gambling  game  you  can  think  of  .  it’s  not  uncommon  to  see  him  frequenting  madgarde’s  gambling  dens  &  .  occasionally  entering  a  game  should  somebody  challenge  him  (  he  NEVER  loses  )  .

BITTERNESS  MANIFESTED,   they look forward with a polished impassivity.     ❛   because there’s no emotion as powerful as happiness at the expense of others.   ❜     the tone of voice is beyond their years,   as though they’ve switched places with someone much wiser.   (indeed      that’s what they are.   a child in an adult’s purgatory.)   there’s no anger in their eyes,   not today.   they avoid looking at shōto for fear of him noticing the melancholy-stained eyelashes.   it occurs to them,   suddenly,   that his question might have been rhetorical;   that they’ve revealed too much about their own self.   a moment passes,   and they backtrack.
