more MonsterMight because i can!

hey! ill do a lil lore post for yall, this is HEAVY condensed just from what the extremely talented @swiftwidget and @aoimikans have written!!

in the beginning, pre everything there was a changeling and a human child who were exchanged. they were ofa and afo- brothers, even as they were separated. afo grows to resent being taken away from his rightful home in the forest and gets angrier and angrier as years go by. since hes a fae living in the human world he has their absurdly long lifespans and uses it to amass power and money to destroy the forest that rejected him. he kills ofa with iron and the enchanted forest gains another layer of magic with ofa’s death

Now

deku is a human that was saved by AM (mr yagi) in this au when he was a kid! he then got super interested in the world of UMA’s and cryptids and started hunting for the goat man he knows saved him when he was a kid  

a little after first contact, bakugou who insists that izuku is stupid and that monsters/fairies arent real and gives him the name deku to reflect his contempt for his belief in the world of fairies goes into the forest to prove his point. he gets lured deep inside it and loses his way, and gets attacked by a monster in the woods. bakugou realizes that he is, in fact, not a human and his latent fae powers awaken (as can happen in times of intense distress/emotion) and he sets a fire in the forest with his explosions. 

deku hears him screaming and runs in after him, trying to protect him. this is when mr yagi jumps in and saves the both of them, scaring away the monster that was attacking them and causing it to rain in that section of the forest to put out the fire that deku couldnt handle and bakugou absolutely couldnt handle. after yagi takes care of the fire, aizawa swoops in andfreezes Bakugou’s magic because he is in charge of teaching younglings and basically gets him calm down and walks him home in a human glamour and tells him he will need to enroll in UA to control his power. this is yagis moment when he realizes, ‘huh, young midoriya has the bravery needed to protect this forest when he acts without thinking to protect someone’ 

thats when he offers to train him! theyll spend 10 months together in the forest with all might protecting him/training him so deku can absorb the magic in the woods and learn more about what the forest is like and the inhabitants within. he doesnt go in by himself because the previous bakugou situation could happen with a monster trying to eat him because he smells like human because..thats just how it is in the forest sometimes.

eventually he meets recovery girl who is like the maiden of the pond now..she was the first human to willingly walk into the forest with the intent to live there knowing about the monsters within and the forest accepted her. she’ll be alive as long as the forest is alive because with how long shes lived there shes gained fae traits and is part of the forest. shes the keeper and healer of the pond, the pond being the magic essence of ofa where the original bearer had died and his spirit seeped into it, meshing into the forest itself. deku drinks from the pond and eats some food of the fairies and maybe a hair from yagi to inherit the power!

now he has to learn how to actually control it lol which is the fun part!! yagi again perfectly grasped how to use the powers when he first got them from nana (who was killed with iron by afo) but he still got training from gran torino (a true satyr) and recovery girl looked after him. deku has to learn how to control his powers but first he has to learn how to walk on his new legs lololol if he doesnt control himself and overexerts, he doesnt break his bones but instead poofs into sheep form and has to get yagi and recovery girl to help him turn back!! he cant talk or do much anything as a sheep because he isnt old enough for his horns to have come in or to know how to control his powers, but he looks cute doesnt he?

yagi will turn into a goat too when he turns into a sheep to show him whats actually possible using it as a power and that its a normal part of inheriting the spirit of the forest. 

HE IS!!! LOL he wants to see him grow up strong and everything that normal all might wants and gets really worried when he overdoes himself trying to protect others jdhfjgkf
