Shigaraki Tomura’s mindset is a difficult one to understand. So much so, even in story both heroes and fellow villains alike reject his mindset as incomprehensible and unsympathetic. He comes off to them nothing more than a brat who wants attention and is throwing a tantrum, or just a villain who is as pure as a villain as one can get, one who only exists to destroy lacking a redeemable motive like stain.
However, the real reason Shigaraki is incomprehensible to characters in story, and even some members of the audience is because of his position as an outsider. All of the other characters in the story, inherently believe that society, their actions, their values all have meaning. Shigaraki is someone who positioned as the outsider to society, sees it all as meaningless and becomes in opposition to everything. Which is why Shigaraki finds sympathizers in his fellow outsiders, who cannot find the same meaning and place in society that everybody else does.
“Destroy Everything” may sound like a vague cliche of a villain goal, but it can be viewed as an extension of nihilism. Shigaraki rejects, recklessly so, all moral principles that Hero Society has told him should have meaning. He is the ultimate challenge to Hero Society’s hypocrisy. I will explain more under the cut.

THE MAGIC CONCH 🐚

Poem by Becky Tillman
an old colored sketch of tomura, i might redraw it in the future :3
some random headcanons of tomura that i thought of
just like ochaco, he sleeps either with gloves on or bandages on his pinky fingers
i’ve seen many people say tomura would listen metal or heavy metal but i really think he’d prefer game OST’s over anything>>>
blasts bury the light at 3am
he’d call kurogiri at 3am just to tell him about his plans to kill all might
apparently he’s awake all day, having anxiety attack cuz he drank monster on an empty stomach
i think he’s the type of guy to meticulously plan everything only to have it ruined by bad luck
he’d occasionally pick on his flaky skin/lips
he has a habit of collecting figures, only to leave on at the shelve without looking at it again
if you’re close to tomura, he’d invite you to eat something tasty and then tell you that he destroyed one of your items
tomura is not the type to use bar soap but rather dispenser soap…that’s if you’re lucky enough he used one
he doesn’t use his quirk much and he’s used to only using 4 fingers
very competitive and mean when he plays against you in a PvP game
too mean he’s not giving you an ounce of hope to win
you got upset and he decided to switch to simulation games instead (he doesn’t admit this but he plays animal crossing to relax)
say goodbye to your personal space, this man knows no boundaries
he’s not shy, he’s just like a cat that doesn’t know how to express its feelings to you
*gets jumpscared in a horror game* “fuck all might, fuck endeavor, fuck hawks, fuck—“
your man is the type to pick his food off the floor :(
shigaraki is the type of guy to buy you the most luxurious & beautiful black nightgown while he stays on his creeper boxers
tomura doesn’t like to shower on his own, he likes the feeling of your fingers brushing through his hair 🚿🛀
expect him to talkshit about all might mid-sex
i really think his hatred for all might surpasses his sex drive
prefers receiving and will be mean about it, he just likes making a mess of you
degradation & slight breeding kink
your boobs are his favorite pillows
he likes fucking you with the skirt on—
missionary & doggy 👑
call him sweet names during sex and he’ll melt under your arms
doesn’t like shower sex but a blowjob will do
i think he would be into somnophilia, only if you’re fine with it
✨ doing each other’s makeup ✨
im a firm believer that shigaraki listens to game OST’s instead of normal music
I just adore Tomura talking like a gamer. It is my whole life. 😵💫
hiii
