TamaWall

TamaWall is the cargo ship between Tamaki Amajiki and the wall from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
When we are first introduced to Tamaki, he is visiting Class 1-A to discuss work studies. Mr. Aizawa requests that he introduce himself, and Tamaki tries imagining the students as potatoes to calm his nerves. When this doesn't work, he immediately turns around and presses his head against the wall. Nejire introduces him instead without blinking an eye. This implies that Tamaki performs this move often. The students later move to the gym so that Mirio Togata can show off his Quirk and, again, Tamaki is seen with his head presses against a wall.

In season four we get to see Tamaki in action while on a mission with Eijiro Kirishima and Fat Gum. Although it is clear that he's an incredibly strong hero, his self-esteem is still rather low. When one of the villains calls him "Chicken Foot", he reacts by immediately finding the nearest wall and pressing his forehead against it. In the "Hero League Baseball" OVA, Tamaki is put in the position of an out-fielder. Partway through the game, he is seen with his head pressed against the stadium wall, muttering about how he wants to go home.

Tamaki is shown to have a very intense form of social anxiety, as well as low self-esteem. Although he has tried ways to cope with this, such as keeping his eyes averted when speaking, he never seems to find much success. He seems to find pressing his head against a wall to be a comforting move. As he does this continually throughout the series, his relationship with walls can be seen as a useful crutch for his social anxiety. The characters never seem to question Tamaki's actions when he does this, implying that they accept him and understand his feelings.

Fanon
TamaWall is a crackship and, as such, does not have very much in the way of fandom works. Much of the TamaWall content comes from joke videos on YouTube or TikTok, or joke posts on sites like Tumblr or Reddit. Still, many people appreciate the running gag of Tamaki always putting his head up against walls. Cosplayers even utilize the joke when dressing up as Tamaki.
