goin’ through it
don’t know why but I’ve been on the “quirkless!deku who didn’t get into the hero course” train lately, I’m usually not a fan of that, but it’s fun to explore the goofiness (see: scammers to lovers) and also the potential angst of it all
anyways, was thinking about Deku not getting into UA and going to a different, less prestigious school after graduating from aldera. He gets into some bad habits, makes friends with the wrong crowd and stuff, just running himself into the ground with little regard for his health or wellbeing. Depressed, apathetic, and intentionally self-destructive
