[ Oh, Midoriya... ]

What have you been bweeting?

i was saying something about quirks and they realized we're the only ones that use that word

[And All Might, of course, but he just got here.]

Well... I suppose this is good practice for when you become a well known Pro Hero.

You should use the opportunity to do good. Find a cause and spread awareness.

[nextsymbol]

yeah....i've been thinking of doing that
i don't know how i'd even choose, though
there's so many important ones

[Being a hero had been a straightforward dream--saving people with a fearless smile. Having a real platform and influence is something he'd known in a way would come with the territory eventually, but he's not sure what to do with it now. Maybe he should ask All Might...]

[recommendations]

I recommend raising awareness for groups like the Endeavor Center. Do some research into organizations that benefit the native community.

[nextsymbol]

If it's pressure and not fun, you could just ignore it. You can still talk to people here or in person.

[nextsymbol]

i mean
i don't want to let anyone down...
but i'm not exactly anything exciting either ﾊｧ━(-д-；)━ｧ…

Anyone at all?
That's a lot of pressure right there.
People are different.
Whatever you write, there's a chance someone won't like it even if the 149 other people like it.
Just be you. That'll be exciting to someone.

[will it really tho. izuku's made great strides in confidence since coming to UA, but there's still scars of his old insecurity left over.]

i mean, it's different if you're just some random person on the internet
people follow you because they already like your content then
but they look to imports for a lot of things like inspiration and courage and i ... don't know if i'll be able to do all of that right

Bwitter is weird. I have at least twenty fake accounts in my name, but don't actually have one of my own.

How'd they find you out?

[nextsymbol]

that's not super uncommon with celebrities but i'm still not used to...being one

[He'd gotten a taste of it when people recognized him on the street after the Sports Festival, of course, and he knew it'd be part of being a Pro Hero eventually, but ah. He's still shy and awkward about being the center of attention.]

i forgot there was a word only people from my world use

[onlydoubts]

Neither am I. Not really sure that I ever will be, honestly.

[ in his former life, he'd been just another faceless cog of the Empire, until he defected. then he'd gained notoriety, but also distrust and a bounty that would've set a person for life. ]

Ah, I see. Any chance you could say someone learned it from you?

[nextsymbol]

probably not
there's other words for it here

you don't use social media at all?

[facilitainted]

Block all of them.

[nextsymbol]

[screams internally]

i can't do that!!!

[facilitainted]

Not with that attitude. How else are they going to leave you alone? You need to take action here.

[nextsymbol]

that sounds really mean, though
i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings :(

I guess it could be worse. You could have 151 new followers.

[nextsymbol]

(((( ;°Д°))))

Did you just keysmash?

[nextsymbol]

it's a kaomoji....

[toshinorinori]

It's a good start, Young Midoriya! 👍 Remember to be kind! When talking to people in person, you should smile and if you're writing to them, make them FEEL THE SMILE IN YOUR WORDS! 😄

[nextsymbol]

[aaaaaa

Izuku's first reaction to this is to delete the post and metaphorically run away screaming i.e. pretend nothing ever happened. But...All Might is the best possible person to get advice on this from.]

um!!
how do i decide what to talk about?

[Of course he followed All Might's official social media back home, but there wasn't a lot to go on from that.]
