God, I love him. Having a sense of humor (even as a defense mechanism - I'm sure he thought they came to tell him off)
Enji for my Pirate AU He is the captain of his ship, Endeavor. Hawks is his second in command.
Touya: Father, why have you forbade me from entering the delicious chamber?
Enji: It's called an oven, and you will die.
Touya, crying: I am strong, father.
Enji getting drunk and texting Rei in the hospital (he forgot she doesn't have a phone)
If you don't mind me asking how come Teka and Yoshi don't fit your interpretation of Enji as a character? If I'm being honest, I'd just really like to hear your thoughts on them. I remember being obsessed with them because Enji was my fav character but no one ever made content of him so Acker was my saving grace lol. I'm glad I have ur todofam stuff now too <3
I interpret Enji as growing up poor, like Uraraka. I view him as a 'self-made' man, Quirk, hero reputation and all, including financial status. Rich parents doesn't suit him imo, he doesn't give me Iida or Yaoyorozu vibes.
Enji doesn't give "old money" vibes, or even new money. He has no interior design skills (the Todoroki Abode is "default traditional Japanese" you'd see in a catalogue, and his Agency Office, what is that combination, he better not have picked that), and his clothes are just as plain, HOWEVER he has that darn tacky gold necklace (which, hot, but bro). Everything "expensive" about him is either in default setting, or it's his Agency. Yes he has a chauffeur, but that's more for efficiency. Unlike Iida or Yaoyorozu who almost flaunt their riches as if they're the norm (look at their rooms), the Todoroki don't emit that. Idk how to explain it. Have money but dunno how to spend it and are actually quite careful with their expenses. Lots of "just in case things go south" savings account.
Again, super traditionally Japanese, very proudly Japanese, the antithesis of All Might, and from what I've seen, Teka and Yoshino aren't that.
I know Teka and Yoshino were made before Enji's backstory (i think), but I've always had a vibe that Enji never had a female figure in his life, and only his father is mentioned so, idk, Enji gives 'raised by a single father' vibe. He's too "a man's man" to have had any female influence in his upbringing.
I've always envisioned Enji as alone, so him having family outside of his kids and Rei is just a no. He has work colleagues and that's IT. No friends, no family, no nothing. Even Rei's mother was mention in Sports Festival flashback, yet Enji's? Nada.
Teka and Yoshino's personalities don't match what I view for the family. I based Haruo on a mixture of Fuyumi, Enji and Natsuo. S2 Endeavor was like that because Enji was ✨️mentally unstable✨️ and his obsession All Might is gone, he becomes like how I write him in My Father's Warmth. Teka and Yoshino don't fit that.
They're just not my cup of tea as characters, nor as a couple dynamic.
More than his backstory, I vue Enji's obsession with his weakness coming from his parent. They were weak, and told him not to be like them, and thus, Enji internalised that (especially after the accident). Teka and Yoshino don't give that.
Enji to me gives "abandoned" and "had to fend for himself" and "had no guidance" vibes as well, so him having a well-off, alive mother, no matter how good or bad she is, just doesn't fit.
I wasn't in the fandom until I started making my AUs (I was invested with DSMP for 3 years, still am), so I never joined the hype of Teka and Yoshino, thus never got attached.
And also I just don't like fanmade family member OC before we get the whole picture of the story, and other more nitty gritty and thematic stuff but that's the general take. Acker is phenomenal and I give em all the kudos for making such beautiful art and Enji content, but yeah, Teka and Yoshino just aren't my thing. Hence why I've got Haruo and Akihime instead (or lacking thereof because Haruo is dead and Akihime peaced out and acts like she was never married (the past never dies MUAHAHAHA))
plz don't take this as hate, it's not, it's just personal preference, I don't interact with the content and mind my own business ✌️
I LOVE THIS SAD OLD MAN!! <3
My derp academia: Endeavor is tired of your shit
Touya: Father, why have you forbade me from entering the delicious chamber?
Enji: It's called an oven, and you will die.
Touya, crying: I am strong, father.
