Deku being an famous online fanfiction writer and class 1A is a group of die hard fans
Izuku has been writing meta and fic almost since he first learned to write, by the time he reaches high school, he is well experienced and well known at the craft. His blog has thousands of followers were he dumps astute analysises and well crafted fics about heroes and hero society. If he drops off a bit after he enters high school, well his followers understand.
As he learns and grows at Yuuei, he gains a better understanding of his classmates and teachers and shows his love through writing. It starts off simple, quirk analysis of the public figures of yuuei, stories have OCs with gravity quirks, that talk with their hands, who have bad relations with their pro hero parents. He writes some of the first Eraserhead fanfiction and those in the know marvel at the thoughtful analysis and speculation on personality not knowing he gets to see the man up close and in person. The more popular certain students become, the more emboldened Izuku is to write about them.
Its Kaminari who first discovers the blog, a self proclaimed meme king and frequent social media user, he finds an author who has uncanny insight into Yuuei, most of the information isnât sensitive but the author captures the feel and personality of students and pros so well. He comments on his official chargebolt blog about the accuracy and it explodes. Izuku nearly falls over dead when he logs on the next morning and sees his username plastered over fan sites, speculating onto his identity.
The students are on the lookout but they never look Midoriyaâs way, heâs too cute, too shy; definitely not one to write a 40k fic detailing Endeavorâs failings as a hero and a person. Bakugou, had known Deku his whole damn life and is well aware of his online premise sits back for a change to watch the fireworks (its not like heâs jealous Dekuâs blog is bigger than his own, heâs not invested in his theories like some kind of nerd). Pretty soon, all of the hero course is following the blog that just gets them. Izuku hastily backtracks and deletes anything compromising and the few pity posts heâd made late at night when his depression and anxiety were running high. He tries to stop before he gets caught but creativity always needs an outlet and he cannot resist.
Theyâre living in the dorms when it comes out. âYouâre that blogger everyone talks about, ribbit,â Tsuyu says one night during a movie marathon. Izuku twitches so hard the popcorn in his lap falls to the ground. âthe latest story talked about Ochako and I working with Ryuuku, it mentioned an application of my quirk you mentioned in training last week. I havenât had the chance to use it in the field so it had to come from you.â Heights Alliance descends into chaos.
âYou always write me as the comic relief,â Kaminari cries, âand that scathing review of my sports festival performance almost made me cry!â
âYou hardly ever write about meeeeeeeee,â Hagakure whines, âwhat am I, invisible?â
âMidoriya this is a flagrant misuse of your position as a student of Yuuei and a breach of your classmates privacy and potentially their safety,â Iida lectures, âthat said I do appreciated your heated defense of Tensei against Stain fans.â
âOh! Oh! I know, you should do a villain Au with us!â Ashido claps. âVillain AUs are so popular these days, reverse us with the League and be sure to call me Alien Queen!â
Aizawa shuffles out of his room to see what the commotion is about and is unsurprised to find his problem child right in the middle of it all. Honestly, heâd warned the boy of the dangers of running a public blog. He was getting fanmail sent to the school because of the brat overhyping his abilities. Izuku apologies and says heâll stop but in the end, he never does.
Pro Hero Deku, one of the most beloved, popular heroes in the country, doesnât have much of a social media presence beyond his official accounts. âIâm just too busy,â he says with an awkward little smile, âbeing a hero is a full time job.â But a certain blog started out of loneliness in middle school is still active, still producing new stories, new theories, new critiques and suggestions for the ever changing hero society. Itâs his most closely guarded secret, second only to One For All, and one of the few bits of normality he has managed to keep in his chaotic new life. He says heâll give it up one of these days but never finds himself able to. So if Deku uses a turn of phrase from a popular blog or notes something found in a popular text post, no one takes it too seriously. Because the one thing the public knows about Deku is that is a fan, just like us.Â
