#nonbinary todoroki

Up next in my sketch dumps is MHA

Bonus Lego Monkie Kid x My Hero Academia AU Drawing I made with @lovingshadowpeaches

goes by he/she

tried they/them with himself and asked fuyumi to try it too but

nop

doesn’t vibe with it

gender is something that was never completely wrapped around her mind

he used to follow what endeavor taught him was right because,,,, it didnt bother him acting that way, so why stress over it, there were A Lot happening already

but fuyumi showed him stuff and natsuo talked about a trans friend of his and shouto just-

wait there’s a NAME for this???

and then natsuo mentions nonbinary-

there’s more???

she didn’t interact with other trans people and just learned about herself by,,, living and expressing herself in her own way

so when ua comes and there’s a whole bunch of lgbtqs there he just,,,

yknow the difference between talking about gender with cis and trans people like

there’s the cis nod to gender talk and there’s the fellow trans nod to gender talk

the trans nod™ its actually how she got her first trans friend 

jirou (she/they) was talking about gender expression to momo and shouto and they just saw the difference between momo’s and shouto’s nod 

he’s not in the closet but does barely nothing to come out because between talking about himself and Becoming A Hero Without His Fire Side he chooses the petty one

chose her name based on a character from a book rei used to read to her before the kettle accident when she discovers endeavor helped chose her deadname 

rejecting his fire??? cool 

(pun intended) 

but completely m u r d e r i n g the name her sperm donor chose??? todoroki shouto didnt win the game, he MASTERED it 

(also yeah her hero name is shouto if she cant legally change it yet, she’ll make so everyone knows it and respects in their rules)

back to the not coming part

he doesnt come out like “im nonbinary” but rather interrupts someone midsentence with a “i go by [insert he/him or she/her] too” and asks the person to keep going and not mind her

so yeah, people end up knowing and respecting him out of BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING THATS LITERALLY THE BARE MINIMUM or out of fear and she doesn’t mind either it is

didnt tell his mom face to face, rather by the letters they exchange, taking his time to explain it in the minimum details and with the most careful words so she could take it easy and also because he would get super anxious to explain it face to face at first

fuyumi gives him a tsuru origami with the nonbinary flag’s colours and tells him she helped their mom make it
