Yes, I'm going there. Todoroki x Reader. The ultimate power couple, right?
Think about it. You, the incredibly perceptive and supportive friend. You, the one who sees through his stoic exterior.
You, the amazing fanfic writer (we all know you are!).
Look, I know what you're thinking. Yaoyorozu is intelligent, kind, and a total badass. She challenges him, pushes him to grow. But, maybe, just maybe, Todoroki needs something different.
Something a little less…intense.

Why Reader-Insert Works (Hear Me Out!)
Todoroki's got a lot of baggage. We're talking daddy issues, existential crises, the whole shebang.
He needs someone who can offer unconditional support, a safe space to just be.
And who better than you, the reader, whose inherent trait is kindness?
Yaoyorozu is great, she is. But sometimes, a guy just needs a friend. A confidante. A cuddle buddy who understands that his fire side isn't always a reflection of his inner turmoil.
Plus, let's be real. The Reader is infinitely adaptable. You can be whatever Todoroki needs you to be.

Need a laugh? You're hilarious. Need a shoulder to cry on? You're the most empathetic person in the world.
Need someone to help him navigate the complexities of modern society (like, how do you use TikTok, Todoroki?)? You're a tech wizard!
The Power of Imagination
The beauty of the Reader is that you can project anything you want onto the relationship. It's pure potential!
You get to craft the dynamic, the inside jokes, the shared glances that speak volumes.
And honestly, aren't those little moments the heart of any good ship?
“But Yaoyorozu and Todoroki have so much in common!”

Okay, I hear you. They both come from wealthy, influential families. They're both incredibly talented. They both have a strong sense of justice.
But sometimes, opposites attract. And sometimes, the best relationships are built on a foundation of understanding and acceptance, not just shared experiences.
It's All About The Vibe
Look, I'm not saying that Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are a bad ship. They're cute! They have potential! It's just...I don't feel the spark. I don't feel the zing.
With the Reader, though? The possibilities are endless. You can create a ship that's funny, heartwarming, angsty, or downright steamy (if that's your thing!).
It's all up to you!

The Reader allows you to insert your unique personality into the My Hero Academia universe. It gives you the chance to explore different scenarios and create a relationship that resonates with you on a personal level.
And let's be honest, who doesn't want to date Todoroki, even just in their imagination?
Embrace the Unpopular Opinion!
So, there you have it. My possibly controversial, definitely biased, opinion.
Todoroki x Reader is the superior ship. Fight me (in a friendly, debate-style way, of course).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a fanfic to write.
And maybe...just maybe... I'll have him bake me some cold soba. What about you?
