A/N: We now have a discord!!!!!! Thanks to the wonderful He1725 , there is now an official discord for Staff Chat. Have fun and make chaos (the link should be at the bottom of the story or something if you are viewing on the Wattpad browser ONLY) (i dont think it will work on the app)
SECOND A/N: this chapter has been edited from its original. First time thru I rushed it and also kinda boggled Mina's character development and a whole bunch of other people's. Looking back it was super uncool of me to kinda just half ass some of the really intense shit this chapter talks ab. So I fixed it! That's all, proceed as u were.

BrainBoi: watched my parents die so yeah
LordofDarkness: I smell trauma

Tape: noice
Mido: kaminari, are you okay?
PikaPika: nope (⌐■ ౩ ■)
CantSeeMe: ooooo my turn
Mido: guys this isn't really a good idea..
CantSeeMe: my parents used to like, regularly lose me as a kid so much that I have memories of spending entire nights alone at like malls or outside or something bc I was too little to find my way home
CantSeeMe: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: nice lmao
AcidQween: I was banned from three elementary schools bc I couldn't control my quirk so I kept burning the students
AcidQween: still have abandonment issues
AcidQween: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
Tape: fuckin my turn
Tape: one time I strangled and almost killed a classmate with my quirk bc I couldn't control it
Tape: I was six and he had to be in the hospital for like a month
Tape: apparently I collapsed his trachea
Tape: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: well now I wanna hear everyone else's shit
AcidQween: @everyone
AcidQween: COME GET YALL JUICE

BadassPrinter: whatever this is, its a bad idea
AcidQween: we're sharing our trauma
BadassPrinter: I was right
Sweetheart: I agree with yaomomo
Sweetheart: this seems like a bad idea
AcidQween: LINE UP WHORES
AcidQween: TRAUMA SHARING TIME
AcidQueen: go in the order you came online
AcidQween: and don't think I haven't noticed that Mido, todo, and toko haven't shared
AcidQween: you aren't off the hook (-_- )
BadassPrinter: okay but like
BadassPrinter: what's the point
AcidQween: um
AcidQween: class bonding!
GimmeSugar: wait so we're actually doing this?
AcidQween: YEP
GimmeSugar: I mean shiet okay
GimmeSugar: guess we're really opening this can of worms
GimmeSugar: I've struggled with an ED and body dysmorphia all my life cuz of the side effects of my quirk
GimmeSugar: I'm way healthier now and baking has been a really good outlet for me but that doesn't mean I don't still bathe in self loathing
Sweetheart: Sato, bb. R u okay?
GimmeSugar: LMAO NO
GimmeSugar: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: nice
AcidQween: NEXT
Sweetheart: that's it? You're just skipping over all of that?
AcidQween: RAPID FIRE
AcidQween: But Sato, I do know how much of a bitch societal expectations are, especially with hero culture exacerbating unrealistic body expectations. I'm here if u ever wanna talk <3
AcidQween: MOVING ON
Sweetheart: I mean okay
Sweetheart: for most of my childhood my parents sometimes had to choose between buying me new school clothes or keeping the power on
Sweetheart: most of my stuff is secondhand
PikaPika: wait ur that poor?
Tape: DENKI
AcidQween: DE N KI
Sweetheart: no, it's okay. I love my parents and I'm not ashamed of their income, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to become a hero in part for the paycheck.
Tape: ikr, shit pays well
Sweetheart: anyways point being, I have a loving family and I'm close with my parents, but we've struggled a lot. Listening to ur parents fight because they can't make rent isn't easy, yk?
AcidQween: damn. That's deep
Tape: mad respect 4 you 'raka
Sweetheart: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
TailKarate: a large portion of my family left after my quirk came in- ig it was too ugly for them? My moms say that they were already distancing from us bc of my moms' marriage, but I still blame myself.
Froppy: same, kero
Froppy: my moms side of the family disowned us when I was born bc they said my quirk was too gross- none of them were mutant born
Sweetheart: I thought ur parents were both mutant types though?
Froppy: they never considered my mom a mutant type, likely because she can still pass as "normal"
Froppy: and my parents were only dating when I was born, so I think they just assumed my dad was just a phase or something for my mom
ManlyMan: wow.
ManlyMan: you guys have all been through so much?? You're all so strong. Like damn I'm rlly proud of you guys, I kinda wanna cry. Ojiro, Tsuyu- i can't rlly draw from personal experience or anything but I'm here if u guys ever need to talk.
TailKarate: sick (⌐■ ౩ ■)
Froppy: thank u, Kiri. Ur a rlly good friend
CantSeeMe: well now I'm gonna cry?? Dmamit
CantSeeMe: why r u all so cute??
AcidQween: because god wanted you to suffer
CantSeeMe: WELL I AM
ManlyMan: hagakure? Do you wanna talk??
CantSeeMe: WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE YOU??
ManlyMan: uh m
AcidQween: MOVING ON
AcidQween: Kiri, ur turnnn
ManlyMan: uh, idk. I don't honestly have childhood trauma? My life's been honestly really easy compared to you guys, and my extended family was pretty supportive when my moms married.
TailKarate: u have two moms??
ManlyMan: yeah!
TailKarate: SICK
ManlyMan: WAIT
ManlyMan: WE CAN BE MOM B R OS
AcidQween: SHAKSK WHAT??
TailKarate: DOWN
AcidQween: NOPE
ManlyMan: ?
ManlyMans: ... we can't be mom bros?
AcidQween: what? No lmao that's not what I meant
AcidQween: i was saying that I'm not gonna let u deflect
AcidQween: people who don't have emotional issues don't train to be heroes. It ain't work like that.
Tape: fax.
AcidQween: I promise we won't judge you, kiri. Ik I'm coming off as kinda extreme but it helps to get it out there.
CantSeeMe: And we can support each other better!
AcidQween: that too!
ManlyMan: um, alright I guess?
ManlyMan: I grew up with an inferiority complex bc I was always told by teachers and junk that my quirk wasn't flashy enough to be a popular hero.
ManlyMan: I still feel like I'll never be good enough haha
AcidQween: okay so that bit earlier was just the inferiority complex at play then
ManlyMan: ?
AcidQween: you, my dearest kiri, are worth it
ManlyMan: well now I am crying
AcidQween: TUESDAY IS NOW REAFFIRM KIRISHIMAS SELF WORTH DAY
AcidQween: NEXT
CantSeeMe: akdkdjjs MINA
CantSeeMe: She does have a point tho, kiri you're an amazing person and you're gonna be a fantastic hero. keep it up, babe （＾ 3＾）/～♡
MrRobot: classmates!
MrRobot: what is going on?
PikaPika: class bonding mr prez
Tape: we're sharing our trauma
MrRobot: is that wise?
AcidQween: yep
MrRobot: then I too, wish to take part
BadassPrinter: oh lord
AcidQween: sheit okau
AcidQween: spill babe
MrRobot: I have always grown up in my brother's shadow. My entire childhood was spent being compared to him by my parents, and now I fear I will never be good enough!
MrRobot: uh
MrRobot: (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: wow perfect punctuation and everything. Anygays Iida babe ur more than enough and we all look up to u
MrRobot: ?
Tape: yeah ur like the only one of us who has his shit together
Tape: I wish I could be more like u
Sweetheart: same
Mido: ^ ditto
CantSeeMe: yup
PikaPika: I don't even know how to use a planner. Much less what it is
MrRobot: oh.
MrRobot: wow, you really all look up to me?
Sweetheart: ofc, Iidakun. Ur super inspiring all the time and you keep us on track. Ur like the class's big brother
MrRobot: Excuse me for a moment. I need to go find a box of tissues.
MrRobot: and Kirishima, do you wish to bond over our mutual inferiority complexes?
ManlyMan: ...
ManlyMan: crying harder dudes
AcidQween: uhhh
AcidQween: JIRO, UR TURN
Musicq: I had to have one of my earphone jacks like surgically reattached when I was a kid cuz some kid wanted to test if he could cut it off with scissors
CantSeeMe: youre joking
Musicq: no, it fuckin hurt
Musicq: anyway now my left one is a lil iffy- like I can mess up the volume control and stuff sometimes (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: fUN
AcidQween: but that's not all, is it?
Musicq: ?
AcidQween: jirouuuuuuuu. This is ab open communication.
AcidQween: yk you don't have to hide emotional issues n shit from us
Musicq: ugh
Musicq: fine.
Musicq: I have self esteem issues just like a whole bunch of you losers. The difficulties with my left earjack don't help.
AcidQween: knew it!
CantSeeMe: okay wait
CantSeeMe: u?? Have self esteem issues????
CantSeeMe: but ur so cool?
Musicq: what?
CantSeeMe: jirou I look up to you so much. Like you have such a unique style and you're so pretty and just like your badass attitude
CantSeeMe: I rlly don't mean to turn this on me but it's kinda hard to stand out when ur literally invisible
CantSeeMe: idk I just think ur whole punk vibe is literally amazing. Granted that doesn't rlly mean Jack shit when it comes to emotions
CantSeeMe: ignore me.
CantSeeMe: point being is that ily
Musicq: that's..
Musicq: really sweet of you? Like wow that means a bunch
Musicq: if u want I can't help you shop for some accessories and stuff? Leather cuff bracelets would make it easier to see where ur hands are and they're also cool as fuck.
Musicq: only if u want to ofc course
CantSeeMe: uHM YES??
CantSeeMe: I WOULD VERY MUCH WANT TO
AcidQween: seeee?????
AcidQween: BONDING
PikaPika: we stan
Tape: bro.
AcidQween: MOVING ON
AcidQween: ur turn Baku
AcidQween: spill babe
Splody'Boi: SHUT UP YOU EXTRAS I DONT HAVE TRAUMA
AcidQween: aww is someone afraid of emotional vulnerability
Splody'Boi: NO
PikaPika: he totally is
Splody'Boi: I AM NOT
BadassPrinter: okay so I won't be touching that with a ten foot pole.
BadassPrinter: and I really don't want to deal with a double homocide in home room tmr
BadassPrinter: so I'll just go
AcidQween: noICE
BadassPrinter: my parents lined me up for a quirk marriage when I was five
AcidQween:
AcidQween: I begith the fuck your pardon?
IcyHot: a quirk marriage?
BadassPrinter: yeah
IcyHot: was it for money?
BadassPrinter: no, political power
BadassPrinter: I still haven't met him, he's American
CantSeeMe: wait you still have to marry him?
AcidQween: WHAT???
BadassPrinter: ..yes?
BadassPrinter: I don't really have a choice
AcidQween: okay STEP BACK
AcidQween: Whaaaat the fuck
CantSeeMe: Momo...
AcidQween: luv r u safe?
BadassPrinter: yes?
BadassPrinter: of course I am, why would I not be?
Musicq: uh because quirk marriages r super illegal and you were FIVE
IcyHot is offline
BadassPrinter: well that was just after my quirk came in, so yes?
AcidQween: okay for the record, we are not just leaving this be.
AcidQween: but I also don wanna make u anymore uncomfortable than definitely probably are tho so we're gonna MOVE ON
BadassPrinter: thx mina
AcidQween: TODO ITS TIME
AcidQween: oh wait he's offline?
AcidQween: aw
AcidQween: I wanted to hear hIS emotionally damaging backstory too :/
Mido: trust me guys, that's a story you don't wanna hear
Tape: you know??
Mido: ye
Sweetheart: does it have to do with his dad losing custody over him?
Mido: uh
Mido: I think shoji is next?
AcidQween: HE IS
AcidQween: SPIL BITCH
Armss: I spent most of my childhood being physically bullied for my quirk.
CantSeeMe: but ur so strong??
Armsss: physical strength does not make a man
Splody'Boi is offline
AcidQween: w a c k
AcidQween: do u wanna talk about it?
Armsss: not right now, I don't think
AcidQween: k
Sparklesz: my turn, mon ami!
Sparklesz: my quirk used to cause me such extreme physical pain that I would spend entire weeks in the hospital at a time
Sparklesz: c'était horrible (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: twinsies- my quirk hurts the fuck outta me sometimes
PikaPika: ditto
MrRobot: when my engines overheat it feels like my legs are on fire
Mido: Ik that Katsuki's quirk used to hurt him
Mido: it prolly still does
CantSeeMe: ooo how do you know that?
Mido: we grew up together
Mido: I thought I guys already knew that?
AcidQween: oh yeahhh. Forgot ab that.
AcidQween: ITS KODA'S TURN
Musicq: doesn't koda prefer not to talk tho?
AcidQween: this is texting
AnimalWhisperer: uh hi
AnimalWhisperer: yeah Im mostly selectively mute
CantSeeMe: Omg this is the first time you've texted on here kodakun!
AnimalWhisperer: yeah
AcidQween: proud of uuuu!!!
AcidQween: DONT FEEL PRESSURED TO TEXT US THOUGH IF YOURE NOT COMFORTABLE
AcidQween: boundaries r important
AcidQween: NOW SHARE YOUR TRAUMA
AnimalWhisperer: um
CantSeeMe: SJSJSK. M I N A
AnimalWhisperer: I don't really talk mostly because it's hard for me? Like not just emotionally but physically too
AnimalWhisperer: bc of my quirk, my head gets kinda mixed up most of the time and it's almost like I forget how to talk to people and then I just can't even form the words
AnimalWhisperer: also growing up as a mutant type is pretty hard, you get bullied enough and you kinda stop trusting people
AnimalWhisperer: so that probably doesn't help the whole communication bit
AcidQween: hot diggity damn
AnimalWhisperer: it's why I prefer spending time around animals, they don't judge on appearance
AcidQween: wow
AcidQween: im sorry kodakun
AcidQween: I can relate in a way. I know that for the most part, my features are still pretty "normal"
AcidQween: but pink skin and black eyes and horns tend to stick out. I mean, that's probably why so many schools just kicked me out instead of helping. The world isn't very kind to different people.
CantSeeMe: a fucking men to that
AcidQween; that's actually why I originally chose Alien Queen as my hero name, kids used to call me alien or Martian or something else to tease me. I kinda wanted to take it back from them, you know? Make it into something more
Mido: wow. That's really impressive, Mina
AcidQween: haha, thx. But really, Kodakun
AcidQween: we're all super proud of how far you've come
AnimalWhisperer: thanks
AnimalWhisperer: I'm proud of u too, Mina
AcidQween: :)
AcidQween: ANYGAYS
AcidQween: toko and mido- it's ur turn
Mido: um you guys already know my trauma
Mido: the lov kidnapped me (⌐■ ౩ ■)
AcidQween: okay yeah but like that's old news
Tape: Mina!
AcidQween: you've got to have something else
AcidQween: remember the whole "no mentally stable kid becomes a hero" bit?
Mido: lol yeah
Mido: uh I have a bunch of scars from being bullied all my life
Mido: being quirkless kinda sucks. Like u said- the world isn't kind to different ppl
CantSeeMe: all ur life?
CantSeeMe: I thought u were childhood friends with Baku?
Tape: yah lol he seems like the type to beat the shit outta bullies
Mido: um, well
Toko: dark shadow has eaten several people
AcidQween: WHAT
