When Midoriya Decided To Take Over The World... In Meme Form

Summary:

So far, Midoriya Izuku had created a Gen Z humor cult, and it was limited to UA staff/students and some pro heroes.

So now he decides to spread it further than just UA. Or even just Japan.

I mean- how hard is it to be the leader of a world-wide cult? It couldn’t be that hard, right?

Aka; Midoriya Izuku literally does take over the world with the sole power of Gen Z humor and memes.

[This is part of a series, but you don’t exactly need to read the others before this one]

Notes:

Writers block is weird. I had some writers block while writing this, yet at the same time, my brain was like “Ah yes, instead of writing this and having ideas for this fic, here are three different fic ideas that have nothing to do with this fic!” THREE. FREAKING. IDEAS.

WHERE WAS THAT KIND OF ENERGY WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS? HMMM?

Chat names are as follows:

‘TheRock’ = Kirishima

‘PikachuOnDrugs’ = Kaminari

‘MusicForEars’ = Jirou

‘PinkGrowl’ = Mina

‘Whomst?’ = Hagakure

‘SinnamonRoll’ = Izuku

‘FlufflyCat’ = Shinsou

‘aMurder’ = Tokoyami

But its finished now so-

Enjoy~

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Class 1-A was taking a hike today, for once trying to be calm and semi-normal hero class. Although they were far from normal, instead the entire hike was spent with basically everyone quoting their favorite vines or memes. Midoriya had thrown in something about world-domination, but that was simply another joke. Right? Of course it was, no way could the class cinnamon roll do that.

Sometime along the way, Kaminari pulled out his phone which, where had he gotten that? Aizawa-Sensei had taken all of their phones away so that they would ‘enjoy the goddamn nature’. Whatever that meant. But that’s not the point.
Kaminari held up his phone, and pointed it towards Bakugou. “Do you ever wanna talk about your feelings Tein?”

Bakugou looked either pissed or confused (his emotions were hard to read) and then just responded with, “No.”

Midoriya spoke up, where he was walking right behind Bakugou, basically dragging Shinsou along with him. “I do!”

Kaminari swung the phone back a bit to get Midoriya’s face. “I know David.”

Kaminari started (probably filming) Bakugou and Midoriya pouted, and said, “I’m sad”

Kaminari again moved back to Midoriya and also an almost laughing Shinsou, who just said, “We know David.”

Then a small beep occurred, probably Kaminari ending the recording, before Bakugou started chasing Kaminari around like a serial killer.

//

 

Class 1-A was driving back from said hike when the bus they were on started to pass a cemetery. Everyone was quiet before Midoriya started to yell. “THE CEMETERY IS HIRING. THE CEMETERY IS HIRING!!-” At this point Midoriya was standing up, hands pressed to the window, while the ‘Dekusquad’ were trying to hold him back. Aizawa-Sensei just sighed and fell back asleep.

Uraraka, Iida, and Todoroki were all just repeating, “No, no, no-”

Then fucking Shinsou joined in Midoriya, with both of them yelling, “THE CEMETERY IS HIRING. DON'T MIND IF I FUCKING DO-”

//

When Eri first woke up, she saw Deku. He said he and her were going to go to the mall! Mic was supposed to be here to drive them in a few minutes, and they were just waiting now. A small blue car pulled up, and Mic rolled down the window. “GET IN LOSERS, WE’RE GOING SHOPPING”

Deku yelled back, “HELL YEAH!”

Mic got all pouty, and mumbled, “That’s my thing…”

Eri giggled.

//

Iida’s house was… nice. Nicer than Todoroki’s house. It still seemed like a rich, clean, traditional house, but it also kept the ‘homey’ look. The Dekusquad had all been invited over to his house just to hang out. They were all being ‘normal’ teenagers, and just having fun.

Then at some point Uraraka had asked if they had any snacks or water in the house. Iida stood up fast, looked towards the door, and while presumably sprinting into the kitchen for snacks, he started to say, “I don’t think you understand how fast I am. I’m fast as fuck boi-”

Tensei, as he had asked them all to call him, peeked in from the hallway, astonished. “How- how in the motherfucking hell did you get Tenya to swear?”

Might as well. “Cult. Wanna join?”

Without any hesitation, the older Iida brother just replied with, “Fuck it, why not?”

//

On TikTok, a small clip goes viral. Two kids from the Class 1-A course of UA High School (supposedly) were the ones who had made this clip. A red haired boy started to film his face, before flipping the camera, towards a group of teenagers. There were a purple-haired girl, a short green-haired boy, and a boy who had a lighting bolt thing in his hair. The only person that most people recognized was the green-haired boy, Izuku Midoriya, just for his fighting ‘style’ or whatever it was at the sports festival.

The camera got slowly closer to said group of teens. A voice called out, presumably the person who was filming. “What do you want to tell Joee Bidben,” the name of the 420th prime minster of Japan currently, “right now?!”

The kid with the yellow hair (they really needed to remember their names) looked up and smirked, before saying, “Wassup baby, take me out to dinner.” Before doing the ‘f boy’ face in rapid succession (which before had stopped with the older generations, but now it was back in full swing).

The same voice rung out from the very beginning, “AYO!!!-”

Then a hand covered the screen, and the clip ended. And as was said before, it went viral.

//
Kirishima points to Aizawa-Sensei and Yamada-Sensei who are leaning on each other while Class 1-A was training. “And they were roommates.”

Kaminari snorts, and just points to the couple. “Mah god they were roommates”

Jirou gave a small comment of, “Like you guys in a couple of years” Which yes, both Kaminari and Kirishima heard, which right after they fell literally right into each other, causing some quirk accidents to happen. Nothing serious, other than some concrete to be destroyed and the lights to flicker a couple of times.

Aizawa-Sensei was mad because they were causing chaos again, Jirou and Mina was (is) mad because they're both such oblivious idiots, and Bakugou was mad because, well, he’s Bakugou. So pretty well-rounded out day for their class.

//

Shoto, Bakugou, and Midoriya were all on their internship with his Father. As of right now, they were on a chill patrol, crime not being high today. Father had all bought them some breakfast, some canned coffee and a breakfast sandwich. He was the last one to finish his can, both Bakugou and Midoriya had thrown theirs away earlier.

Actually… “Bakugou, here, want to take out the trash?”

Bakugou just looks down at the empty can he’s holding out, grabs it, and yells, “This bitch empty- YEET!”

Said can hit his Father right in the back of the head. He just raged, making his flames bigger to try to and find who threw it. Shoto just watched in amusement.

Said interaction was recorded by someone, and then posted online. The title was ‘ENDEAVOR GETS CLOWNED ON BY INTERNS AND HIS OWN CHILD!! NOT CLICKBAIT’.

His Father was in a worse mood after that, but still completely worth it.

//

Shiggy walked up to her and Twice. “Toga, you're a teenager and have TikTok. So what in the hell is ‘WAP’?”

“But Shiggy! Me and Twice are playing Uno!” A pause. Well, here goes her afternoon. “Do you want to hear the funny versions of it, what it actually stands for, or the dance?”

“Yes.”

Twice jumps in front of her face. “But Toga! We were playing Uno! Wait no I wanna know! No we don’t! YES WE DO-”

//

His hell-class is on their bus again, this time to go to the beach. Shouta would say that everything would be fine, and it would be a nice road trip, but he knows something is going to happen. Whether it be villains, his class doing something dumb, or something else, something will probably happen.

Nothing had happened yet, only a small comment from Kaminari, who had seen a ‘road work ahead’ sign, pointed to said sign and said, “Road work ahead’? Uh, yeah- I sure hope it does!”.

Not even 10 minutes later, fucking VILLAINS had attacked them. Because of course, when did him or his class ever get a break. Nothing too bad had happened, apparently it was some kind of privilege to be able to attack ‘The Class 1-A’ and get away alive. So all that had happened was the bus got flipped and some of the road was broken.

Shouta was just trying to get over his ultimate demise of fucking 9 pages of paperwork, he heard a another comment, this time from Shinsou. “Welp the road no longer works like the sign says.” He also put on a fake pout, making the entire class cheer up. Midoriya suspiciously more cheered up, but eh.

These kids are going to be the death of him, and that’s fine with him.

Izuku knew a bit of hackin- er- knew a lot about computers and technology. It for the most part went to waste, but in other cases, it was extremely beneficial. One of these scenarios was hac- looking through and copying a video from an old dead website, that had been abandoned for a newer version. And to be fair, it wasn’t really ‘reposting’ either, since the website and video had been watched on or used for the past 100 or so years.

The old title was ‘The Muffin Song’, which had fit well, but a newer more exciting name was needed. New audience, new name. And hence (with some help from First-) ‘Muffin Jam’ was posted on WeTobe.

In the description, Izuku put a little note which says ‘hey! Join my depressed sad gen z humor cult. Now.” Literally- and that's all it took for millions of people to request to join this ‘gen z humor cult’. And since he had used a little something-something from the past, might as well use another.

All it takes is just some data from First’s phone (still don’t know how it works since it’s technically a ghost phone-), a little coding from Mei and himself, and boom. Izuku is now an app owner of the app known as ‘Communicord’, which to be fair, is just revised Discord. But also, the owners of Discord were long dead, and people had stopped using it a long time ago.

Point being- he’s actually making money and has more little gay depressed people in his cult. So it’s a win-win.

//

Aizawa-Sensei looked so goddamn tired today. Izuku wonders whether its him, the class, or something else going on that is making him look like that. He had walked into homeroom, sleeping bag and all, looking dead to the world, and then just glared (and is still glaring) at all of them.

He finally blinked, sighed, and then spoke with what was the most serious they had ever heard him. “Listen. I’m tired of all of your guys bull- uh chaoticness, and so I have decided the next one of you hellspawn that gives me a headache has to listen to what I say.” He was right about the class pissing him off. “And since I’m not a monster, its either the 10 hour version of the Narwhal Song or the 10 hour version of the baby shark song-”

First, who quite literally appears from hell, becomes his ghost like self just to scream, “OH GOD PLEASE NO-”

He’s such a dumbass. “First, have I ever told you how much of a dumbass you are? Now Aizawa-Sensei is gonna beat your ass and make you listen to one of them.”

First had the very visible reaction of realizing he’s a dumbass, before replying back. “Damn. Well he cant do anything, because I’m dead.” and then just disappeared, probably back into the void-hell.

Aizawa-Sensei just had the look of ‘what in the motherfucking hell-?!?’, before just shrugging, and crawling back into his sleeping bag.

Everyone else in the class was definitely confused, he sure would be if a literal ghost appeared in front of him. ‘First. Look at what you’ve done, now I’m gonna have to reveal OFA to the rest of the class. Thanks a lot.’

First’s voice echoed in his head. ‘Oops? I can make it up to you by getting you more memes off of my ghost phone?’

‘Fine, but they better be awesome.’ Aizawa-Sensei had crawled out the door, homeroom was probably over, and now everyone was asking questions. “Ok! OK! Geez let me explain why there was a ghost-”

//

Rody had finally had the time to visit! Izuku wanted him to come for one, being his friend, and two, being the next step in world dominat- er- uh- the next step for making his cult bigger. Yes, cult. Definitely not world domination. Why you ever think that? In half English, half Japanese, Rody introduces himself. “Hello, uh- Deku’s classmates! I’m Rody Soul, er I know you do the thing with last names, but just stick to Rody. It’ll make more sense to me.”

He then whispers in his ear. “I have spread your ‘cult’, or whatever, across many parts of Europe. Thank me later~” Which he just giggles to. “Thank you Rody, but now we got to introduce you to my classmates!”

Kaminari, just in ear reach, says to Kirishima, “Oh my god, look, a broship!” Kirishima responds with, “Like us!” Jirou comes up behind both of them, and whispers something in their ears, something Izuku can’t hear. Whatever it was, it was probably something to do with teasing them about how they're clearly pining for each other.

There's a tap on his shoulder, who once Izuku turns around, he sees Shinsou. “Oh Shinsou! Ok, Rody meet Shinsou, Shinsou meet Rody! Now shake hands…” While speaking, he’s physically moving Rody and Shinsou’s hands to meet each other and shake. Both of them having very awkward looks on their face.

After Shinsou leaves to ‘Go and find a snack’, Rody, with Pino on his head, turns to him. “Okay, cult things later, how to get that purple haired guy to date you.”

“WHAT- I- no? I- uh- I don’t know what your talking about.”

“Cooommee ooonn- it’s so obvious you like each other!”

“STOP-”

“Not till you admit you have a crush~”

“NO-”

//

If you were to look in the teacher’s dorms windows, around lunchtime, you would see Eri and Rody’s siblings standing still, in a t-pose, standing over Aizawa looking close to a mental breakdown. And if you had advanced hearing, you would hear a ‘Duck song’ x ‘Muffin song’ x ‘Baby Shark’ remix playing on repeat.

Izuku stood on Endeavor’s counters, while Endeavor looked like he was having a mental breakdown. Todoroki’s brother and sister were watching from the door of the kitchen. Continuing to t-pose for dominance, Izuku repeated the same thing he’s been repeating for the last hour. “We’ve been trying to contact you about your cars extended warranty-”

Endeavor must had finally had enough, because he stood up abruptly. “What are you doing in my house! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!” Walked right into that one. “I want waffle fries.”

Endeavor paused, probably not expecting that answer. “If I give you waffle fries, will you go away?”

“Yes.”

Endeavor slowly moves to the freezer, and then him, the Todoroki siblings, and himself all watch in silence as waffle fries cook in the microwave. Eventually, the microwave beeps, and the waffle fries are set in front of him.

Izuku just grabs two handfuls of them, before starting to go out the window. And before leaving, he says, “Baby, I’m not even here. Imma hallucination.”

Shinsou had pinned Izuku against a wall, which would had made him more flustered, if he hadn’t had said into his ear, “Ya like jazz?”

Izuku just shoved him off, making Shinsou fall to the floor, “Fuck off.”

Shinsou gasped the audacity of this man and put his hand over his heart, like he was praying or something. “My angle swore at me?!” Another gasp from him. He just flipped him back. It’s what he deserves.

Meanwhile Shinsou had the ‘the man was too stunned to speak’ face on, and then just laughed.

And while both of them didn’t see it, Mina, Denki, Kirishima, and Jirou were all nearby, hiding behind a wall. All of them giggling and sharing knowing looks. (And also making an extremely good, so good it’s concerning, IRL lenny face, but that isn’t important.)

//

Midoriya was sitting on Todoroki’s bed. “I am feelings. I have the- the- feelings are hard.”

Todoroki sat across from Midoriya, on a desk chair. “Spill the tea sis.”

“But not on my face-”

//

Shinsou shuffled across from Izuku. Izuku does the same. “So uh- why am- I guess we- here?”

Shinsou’s face turned bright pink. “Uh, do you want to go on date with me?”

“Only if you promise that if you propose to me, you do it with a ring pop.”

“What?”

“Did I stutter?”

“Okay, yeah I’ll do that.” Shinsou’s face had turned a brighter shade of pink. “So… date at the cat cafe downtown?”

Izuku nodded his head yes, feeling his face grow hotter.

//

Tokoyami walked up to both Hitoshi and Izuku, the latter two watching a TV show on the couch. “Mido did you know that you have a fanbase/cult thing around the world now?”

Hitoshi who unfortunately was in the middle of drinking a monster spit it out. “Excuse me?! What the fuck Izuku?”

Izuku had already known but eh might as well pretend not to. Can’t let his plan slip out too early. “Sick. How many people?”

Tokoyami looked down at his phone, and held it out for Hitoshi and him to see. On the phone was a Twitter account named ‘Deku-FanPage’ with the bio saying, ‘Gen Z Deku surpramcay, aka: cult of Deku’

“4.2 billion. There's this one fan account on Twitter with that many followers, and their like the official reporter group thing on you. There’s probably more on other platforms, but about that many.’

Aizawa must have overheard, because he walked in the common room with Eri, “I’m sorry, but WHAT?!” Eri ran up to him and climbed on his lap. “OH MY GOD DEKU YOUR FAMOUS!!! SLAY!!”

“YASSS I’M A MATERIAL GORWLLLL!!”

Aizawa sighed, and gave Eri her bag of apples. “I regret letting you babysit Eri.”

Notes:

Did I abuse the fact that tiktok is canon in their universe?

Yes. Yes I did. (and I also have no explanation for it ╥﹏╥)

I didn’t do this in the last fic but, Ghost529, MothOnTheWall3000, and Sara_Shadowwyng for giving me some great ideas! And while I appreciate the help (for giving me ideas) by the time this fic is posted the other fics in this series will already be either written or scripted, so I won’t need any more ideas! But again, thank you (whoever gave me ideas) because all of them were amazing!

I’m spending a lot of my time on this fic: (Link To Fic) and so idk go read it I guess

But anyways, thank you for reading-

Bye~
