2 Acclimatizing

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!...What the hell!! One second I pass out being tortured by the @$#%#%, and then I wake up in a world of giants. Not only that, but my supposed mother is fucking weirded out by me. Like literally just a few minutes in this reality, and I want to return. If this body could fucking speak, I would be like, "Take me Back!!" or some shit.

The worst part is that I am having a hard time staying awake. Like WTF, I have not done shit, but I feel as if I have done 20 hours of workout. I haven't looked at myself, but I don't feel legs, so the probability of me not having them is high. So yeah, cheers for the disabled baby.

At the very least, life has no need to throw fucking problems at me. I already was born as an ugly disabled ass baby; it can get worse than that, can it? Like, I am pretty sure my mother wants to get rid of me if how she looked and talked about me was any indication. After several minutes of mental breakdown, my body surrendered to Morpheus.

(Several Days Later)

Well, I was wrong; it CAN get worse. As I figured, my mother wants nothing to do with me and is placing me in an orphanage. Great, now I am absolutely fucked; my chances of getting adopted are so low that they might as well be non-existent. That's not the worst part; the worst part is my name. My mom had the BRILLIANT idea of naming me "Cthulu". Fucking great! Now I am not only a disabled ass baby, but a have a shit name too.

Knowing my situation I have been gathering information about my surroundings. At this moment, my intel collection has been based on eavesdropping. Luckily the info I got from overhearing the nurses is quite illuminating. Let's just say that the word 'quirk' popped several times. So that info leads to the following conjecture, if I reincarnated or transmigrated or whatever the fuck, the place where I think that I am, then there might be hope for me.

On that note, apparently, I was born without any extremities except my arms and eyes. Then my body did some weird contorting exorcist shit, and I developed human-like ears with a pseudo mouth and nose. Taking that into account; my quirk is most likely a mutant type since I can already use it, as proved in my exorcist episode. At the very least, it is related to body alteration, so there is hope for my legs. Unrelatedly, It would have made up my day if I got an awesome name like "Jack Sparrow or John Wick" but at least it is not the worst name I have heard.

This world has the tradition of naming their kids after ideals, physical characteristics, things, and quirks. For example, the baby beside me in the nursery has a mutant quirk like me. She essentially has a "Tiger's Tail"; guess how they named her; "Taiga Katz"; Yeah, that's her name, WTF; who names their child "Tiger Cat". How fucked up can the parents be; it is as if they were asking for their child to be bullied in school? Like bro, name her Caitlyn and use Cat for short but not fucking Taiga. Might as well name her fucking "Tiger Katz", at least that way it would be THE NOSE and not ON THE NOSE.

Seriously this shit is messed up, I am here around all these 'Mutant' crying children for days! My mother hasn't even shown up!. That shit is insane, what mother doesn't show up DAYS after birth to pick up their child! I tell you who! MINE!

I have been getting frustrated because there is nothing I can do. My muscles are not strong enough for any meaningful movement, so I can't go snooping around for more information; hell, I am barely able to turn my body. I feel like a turtle, but at least a turtle can move and not be stuck as a pseudo paraplegic.

Since I can't do anything physically strenuous, I resolved to meditate to calm myself and see if this world has weird paranormal shit as well. One of my theories of the WHY I reincarnated was based on my spirituality.

In my old world, several figures like the Dalai Lama and random people 'reincarnated' and remember parts of their past lives. Normally they 'forgot' said memories after they grew older. Now that I think about it... Shit, I am like a Dalai Lama on Steroids! I can remember almost everything from my past life but weirdly enough some details are kind of 'blurred'. Well, at least my knowledge remains mostly intact so there is that.

Honestly, the causes for my reincarnation are a mystery so every 'theory' I come up with might as well be completely wrong. Thou I am still curious to see if this reality has ghosts or other spirits like my previous one. Training my mental and spiritual capabilities from infancy can, with luck, prove to be helpful in the long run...hopefully.

(At Orphanage: Several weeks later)

Good news or bad news. Bad news first, my mother finalized the "Surrendering her Child Agreement" so it's official; I am an orphan now. She delivered me to the orphanage herself, having the decency to look relieved when the matron took me in without much fuss.

Before officially surrendering me, she was required to fill in some documents. That is where the good news comes in; from the angle, the matron was holding me, I was able to glance at her documents. Guess who I am going to hunt in the future. It starts with H. Hilda...no, Helen...no, Holly...close, Hope...ding-ding-ding. Yeah, her name is Hope Smith, so I guess I'll know who to look for answers regarding my father. Judging her based on her name, I am honestly not surprised by her actions; What can you expect from Hope's and destiny's types of girls.

Back in my world, the (Hopes, destinies, Ambers, etc...) usually thought too highly of themselves. They had high egos and a narcissism streak that was hard to ignore. Oftentimes, they were high maintenance and selfish, but when they had the hots for you, they would do absolutely anything. When I say anything, I mean ANYTHING. They were kinky as fuck and often had a boner for the bad boy type or the philanthropist. Usually, after not finding Mister 'Perfect' they would settle with some guy that was at least middle-class. Then they would pop out some children and proceed to get fat. After that, things would devolve, but who cares about details.

Even with all her flaws, "Hope" was responsible enough to drop me in the orphanage and not sell my organs or some shit. By the looks of it, she was rather young, I would guess in her later '20s and early '30s. Knowing how women act and think during those years, I was minimally grateful to her. After all, I much preferred being in the orphanage compared to having a new "father figure" every week, if you catch my drift.

Nonetheless, I was alone in a world full of unknowns. Even if I follow the "MHA" cannon, nothing guarantees that my presence would not cause massive changes in the plot. For all I knew, this could be an AU in which Isuku didn't exist or something. I need to be careful on how I proceed from here on out; lucky I am in America and not Japan meaning that only drastic changes would affect people over there.

Honestly, the thought of Isuku not existing didn't bother me all that much. In my opinion, he was a shit protagonist. He was the doormat of everyone, had no balls to speak off, and didn't work to improve himself in any way. If he wanted to be a hero so badly, he could have gone the "Aizawa Route" and made himself a beast in combat. Granted, he wouldn't be on an even playing field but still, he could have learned martial arts, tempered his body, and mastered some techniques in order to not be trashed around by his classmates. If he combined that with some support like "Aizawa's scarf" he could have been a pro hero in all but name. Hell, he could also have gone the "Iron Man Route" and made himself his hero outfit by using his brain and shit. The anime often boasted about how Isuku was so gifted in academics, but at the same time, he made a lot of retarded decisions.

I am aware that there are some requirements in order to be a "HERO" but there are always exceptions to the rule in every field. He could have developed some secret gadget that passed as a quirk and he could just say he had a late "awakening" or something. Instead, Isuku opted to sit on his ass and wait for a quirk to 'fall' from the sky; Funnily enough, that's what happened.

In my opinion, Mirio was simply a better option than him. My boy worked on his quirk that many would consider useless and made it OP as fuck. People made fun of him and expected nothing of him but there he was working his ass off to make things happen. Compared to Mirio, Isuku is just a snotty maiden in distress waiting for his Giant blonde Daddy to save her. Like dude be out there playing barbies while Mirio is playing Airsoft with the boys.

The core problem with Isuku is that he had almost no agency in his own story. Everyone outshone him when they were on screen, be it for their motives, quirks, or personalities. Had "All Might" not shown up practically feeding him "One for All" he would have amounted to nothing. If Isuku had lived in my previous world, he would have gotten NTR'd, if not worse.

In essence, Isuku is a spineless person. He states he wants to be a hero but avoids conflict to a comical degree. He is a dichotomy, a contradiction; he is a person that has hydrophobia but wants to be a swimmer because swimmers are cool and trendy. He lacks any real character, agency, spine, and self-respect, to the point that, he almost died trying to save his "bully". You Know, "Bully"; the person that made him suffer all kinds of hell for several years. The dumbass saved the guy that psychologically and physically abused him on a daily basis; What All Might saw in a person like Isuku, I would never know.

The world of "My Hero Academia" had a lot of wasted potential. The majority of the population has access to superhuman abilities, yet they limit themselves to party tricks. The "Old Age" was +100 years ago, yet their technology and understanding of the universe stagnated. Except for some advancements in genetics and robotics that are observed in the anime, they have not progressed much. Quite the opposite, in some aspects, they have regressed. In crucial areas like philosophy, psychology, and law, there appears to be some fundamental disconnect.

In the anime, a majority of the populous was unable to even emphasize or place themselves in the shoes of the villains. Villains don't just spawn out of nowhere, they are motivated by many things, but there is one thing that triggers their change. At some crucial point in their life society has failed them. For example, Dabi's abusive father went unpunished because he was a pro hero; Shigaraki accidentally killed his family and received no help; Toga's quirk makes her crave blood to survive and obtained no support for a lot of years. Other Villains are motivated by greed and the need for recognition, the case of "Mustard" is a good example.

At the end of the day, villains are created because of the failings of society. It also doesn't help that the line between villain and uncomplying citizen is so blurred. For instance, if a police officer stopped a citizen and he/she tried to escape, they would most likely be labeled as a villain even if their crime was minor.

In a world where insubordination of any kind immediately labels you as the worst kind of criminal is no wonder villains pop out when "All Might/The Scariest Warden" retires. This further supports the hypothesis that MHA's society's structure, law, and philosophy are authoritarian, bordering 1984ish.

In order to not be taken advantage of or made part of the machine, I need to gain my freedom. I don't want to suffer here as I did in my previous life; I don't want to be someone's bitch and then die of old age. I want to be 'free' and live a meaningful life. Right now, there is nothing I can do except meditate, do light workouts, and try to figure out my quirk. So in other words, my focus for the near future is to build myself up from scratch all over again. 'Fuck'
