hey guys last post before i take the sat but here's a nami i plan on turning into a painting on canvas!!
okayokay picture this: UA school dance, some song is playing. Ochaco and Midoriya are fucking it up on the dance floor. I mean going absolutely insane. Tsu and Todoroki are hyping them up, and Iida is chiding them while trying not to laugh. Mina records the whole thing and posts it online.
The next day they show up and people from all over the school, I'm talking business course, support, and gen ed course are all asking them something along the lines of "was that really you guys!?"
each person has their own reaction and they go a little something like this: Ochaco- She laughs so hard she has to clutch her stomach while just shaking her hands, she gives no real answer
Midoriya- He goes bright red! Waving his hands in front of his face, covering himself up.
Tsu- a very blunt "yeah." and nothing else. she feels it was fairly obvious that it was them given their status as hero course students.
Iida- He goes on a long spiel about how "while yes, that was us. I highly discourage anyone else from replicating out actions"
Todoroki- After being approached by the fourth (4th) person he starts wearing a cardboard sign that says "Yes, it was us in the video"
You ever make the insane decision to draw all of the main 6 plus sunset shimmer

This analysis is about Tsumugi so if she is a discomfort for you please be aware of that! This analysis contains Killing Harmony spoilers as well. I’ll be analyzing? Comparing? Her to the song ‘You’re gonna go far kid’ by The Offspring ^^ With that out of the way, let's move onto the analysis!
I wanna start off by saying I only started to relate this song to Tsumugi because of the first part. I always envisioned this animation to that part with her switching cosplays and so that's where this all stems from! This also only really focuses on Tsumugi as the mastermind, not so much backstory (does she even have a backstory?/gen). The first lines “Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time, And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach. Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd, And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” are what I’m going to start with! The first part (show me how to lie…) is representing how Tsumugi was the mastermind of the Killing game and was lying to everyone, followed by ‘and turning against the one is an art that's hard to teach’ showcases how she had basically turned against everyone and that being the mastermind is something you can’t teach.
The next two lines really solidify this stanza as a representation of Tsumugi as the mastermind for me. “Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd,” is Tsumugi throwing everyone off of her trail or for an in-game example, Its Tsumugi framing Kaede as Rantaro's killer. “As you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” is Tsumugi pretending to be another person trapped in the killing game!
Taking lines from the second stanza, “and no one even knew it was really only you” to me is the line that symbolizes the fact that no one knows Tsumugi is the mastermind, that she is the one behind everything and is only pretending to be a victim of the killing game. The final line of the pre-chorus represents Tsumugi right before she became the mastermind, “nice work you did, you’re gonna go far kid”. The ‘nice work you did’ section of the line being a reference to all the work and preparations she had to make for the Killing game and the second line being a reference to how she's going to do as the mastermind and how she’ll live up to Junko's legacy.
The chorus is really what showcases how the song represents Tsumugi as the mastermind though. The starting line of “with a thousand lies and a good disguise” is just begging to be a Tsumugi line, she's the ultimate cosplayer and the mastermind for crying out loud. The “Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say. See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives” is Tsumugi making her big debut in the final trial as the mastermind (I’m not 100% certain about the details of the last trial as I have yet to finish v3 but I have a vague idea of what happens).
Verse 2 is about how as the mastermind the whole killing game is focused on her. “Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight, So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me,” showcasing how she's the star of the killing game as the mastermind and “There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay, And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me” showcasing how as the mastermind she has the ability to control everything about the killing game.
Finally, ending this analysis with the outro to the song! “Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies, Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives”, it's a rather weak ending to this analysis but I think this line showcases how as the mastermind Tsumugi's existence in the game is just her falsifying her existence and making up lies about herself.
TLDR: You're gonna go far kid by The Offspring is a great song to represent Tsumugi as the mastermind of the killing game :)
Fic idea where monoma goes to the support course to talk about how to improve his costume and quirk and stuff and midoriya goes "THANK GOD YOURE HERE YOUR QUIRK IS SO COOL AND YOURE USING IT ALL WRONG AND AND" and then midoriya like lifts a giant chunk of metal off the ground because the support course room is a mess and monoma goes 'oh my god he's so strong. And he's smart and he likes my quirk. And he's cute.' And then suddenlyyyy monoma is having problems with his costume every dayyyy and needs to see the support course oh nooooo

Song analysis for Angie Yonaga and the song Blow my brains out by tikkle me! Angie’s character is very complex one, most of the time she gets dulled down to ‘religious girl’ but in reality her whole ‘would you like to join me?’, ‘Atua will help!’ is one of her ways of trying to show others that she cares for them and is attempting to help them. She has difficulty showing that and so she chooses to offer others her religion and share with them the wonderful things about Atua.
If I follow the same formatting as when I did the Nagito analysis, I’ll start with the first few lyrics, or rather the first two stanzas. Both of the first two stanzas consist of things like “Sometimes I wish I could lend you my eyes, Lend you my hips and lend you my thighs Sometimes I wish I could take a new shape Switch out some parts and become a big A“ (A direct quote from the song). These to me show Angie's wish to help people despite being unable to. This also could be a way of showing Angie’s devotion to Atua.
The second stanza is relatively the same. The following lyrics “Lucky is she, who lives unaware Who doesn't get bothered by those who don't care Lucky is she, who lives unaware Who doesn't get bothered by all that's unfair Unlucky me, who knows way too much Who fights to make changes and music and such Unlucky me, aware of the pain All 'cause I happen to have some brain'' show both aspects of Angie.
The first section referring to someone (Angie) as lucky shows how Atua has given her a positive view on life and how she has put complete trust into Atua, the second half referring to her as unlucky however, shows that Atua has also shown her the bad things and that she's seen some bad things. The lyric “Unlucky me, aware of the pain All 'cause I happen to have some brain'' specifically shows that Angie is aware of the bad things because Atua has enlightened her. This could also go back to her wanting to enlighten the others just as Atua did for her.
“Sometimes I hope for a savior to come Who's got what it takes to convince everyone” is one of the lyrics I feel conveys Angie perfectly, the song itself is a great example of her character but that lyric specifically matches extremely well. It shows how Angie just wants others to be aware of how great Atua is and how he can help them; If only Atua could convince the others to follow him they’d all be enlightened.
The next following stanzas are about Lucky and Unlucky (both aspects of Angie) and I think that the Lucky and Unlucky stanzas showcase that Angie is constantly at a battle with herself, she's fully aware that Atua could help others and that everything that is happening in the Killing game is wrong (unlucky) but she doesn’t fear any of it out of trust and faith in Atua (lucky).
TLDR: Blow my brains out by Tikkle me is a great song to represent Angie and how she behaves :)
Midoriya and Kaminari friendship (real and canon)
Consider: Kaminari referencing some pre quirk meme and no one else but Midoriya knows it because of his pre quirk knowledge
