#KATSUKI ALWAYS THOUGHT DEKU WAS MAKING FUN OF HIM FOR VARIOUS REASONS

[bicheetopuff]

When I began the series I saw Izuku call Katsuki ''Kacchan'' and Katsuki never trying to correct him in a real way, I knew that Katsuki was a FAKE 'idgf'. I clocked his ass tbh because c'mon!

Yeah if you genuinely hate someone, you’d stop them from calling you your childhood nickname😭

Idk what’s customary in Japan when it comes to cutesy shorthanded honorifics, but if a childhood friend who I didn’t like still called me the nickname they used for me when we were kids, I’d assume they were making fun of-

wait…

[roguesenses]

Most of the idiots were downstairs, making a ruckus in some sort of last hurrah. It was noisy and annoying, and Katsuki needed a goddamn break. Besides, he had something to do, and the fact that everyone was downstairs just made it an opportune time. It was made even easier when he found the idiot didn't even keep his door locked. Idiotic of him, in Katsuki's opinion, but if Deku wasn't going to lock his door, then Katsuki doesn't feel any sense of remorse in just letting himself in, completely unsurprised to find the room littered with merchandize that shows exactly how much of a goddamn nerd Deku is. But he's not here to judge (much) about Deku's shitty sense of room decor, and places a single notebook on the desk before walking back out.

It was a present for all intend and purposes, but it was left unwrapped, nor was it signed in any way. The notebook was of the same exact brand that the nerd was always writing in ( like the one that katsuki has burned with his own two hands ) Though the title on front differed slightly, simply stating "Hero Analysis" and a No. 1 on the cover. On the first page would be a sketch of Deku himself in his latest hero costume, clearly inexperiencedly drawn but included every bit of small detail. The notes that followed weren't anywhere near as long as Deku's usual, but there were notes on each and every move Deku has used so far, followed by suggestions for improvements and next goals to strive for. Each note written in Katsuki's usual neat handwriting, though he (mostly) stuck to a more analytical tone rather than using his usual more colourful language. It didn't come even close to making up for all the shit Katsuki had done, and he didn't want it to. He was going to atone properly, with no shortcuts. But, even he couldn't escape the urge to gift during the holidays, and Deku likes to ask for his thoughts on his various moves during their trainings. Besides, the nerd wasn't the only one capable of making hero analyses. And Deku was the name of a Hero.

It was getting late. As much as everyone loved Christmas, all good things must come to an end. Izuku was one of the last to leave the common area where they had celebrated one last round of festivities, yawning as he made his way towards his own room. He flopped onto his bed with a content sigh, reflecting back on his year and feeing so much gratefulness for all of his good experiences so far. This Christmas was truly amazing...of course, he always had fun during the holidays because he had the most caring, attentive mother, but it was different celebrating with fellow teenagers. 

He was truly glad to have made all these friends...All Might’s quirk...his quirk. UA, being able to help people...it was all such a dream come true. 

Izuku’s eyelids drooped, though he was reluctant to let go of the night. 

Had that notebook always been there? That was a comment his brain decided to make before sleep could claim him. Izuku was reasonably neat as a person, and his special notebooks were valuable to him, which meant in theory he should know where they were at all times.

The tired part of him told him it could be a tomorrow Izuku problem, that he could be lazy and put it back in its proper place in the morning. He fed into his exhaustion briefly, but got up after only a few more seconds of contemplation. In the end, it must be admitted - sloth had never been Midoriya Izuku’s vice. 

He picked up the notebook and immediately knew despite his brain being 25% asleep already that it wasn’t one of his - the pages were too new and it...didn’t smell like the rest of his room. 

A gift?

Now fully awake and excited, Izuku flipped open the notebook to see information about himself. The handwriting, though definitely not his, was extremely familiar.

 “I see.” Izuku closed the notebook back up with a smile, walked back to his bed and laid down. He pulled the blanket over his face and shut his eyes, only to open them again after counting to sixty. Slowly, he shifted his gaze towards where he left the gift notebook, and sure enough, it was still there. 

He pinched himself on the arm, and then gave himself two gentle but firm smacks on the leg. All of the sensations felt pretty real. Was he not in a dream then?

But...but...that would mean that was Kacchan’s handwriting he just saw...writing about him. 

WHAT?!

Some people may not think of this, but hero analysis was something that took a lot of attentiveness and passion. Izuku spent so much time researching all the heroes, watching everyone, talking to them and trying to understand them. That was why his notes always had so much details and though he only had a brief glance, he could tell there was a lot of information in this new notebook...about him, as in Deku. 

Did that mean Katsuki had been watching him?

For some reason, that realization made his heart race. 

Thump thump thump. 

It was really pounding. Right against his rib cage with every breath he took. He hadn’t felt like this before - it was different from when he was getting anxious while fighting a villain or overly excited during training sessions. This was something...new and strange. He didn’t understand it, and wasn’t sure how he felt about it. 

Once again, Izuku laid down. He pressed a hand against his drumming chest and tried to relax, but questions kept on repeating themselves in his head. Why would he give me a gift? What does this mean? Was he watching me? Is it because we are ‘rivals’? 

No matter what, this was a positive sign. Their relationship was improving and Izuku should not do anything to screw it up. Just stay calm, he told himself, even as he put on his slippers and yanked his bedroom door open in a not-very-calm-at-all manner. 

As he made his way upstairs, he didn’t really know what he was doing. There were no real coherent thoughts, just action and feelings. Izuku knew one thing for sure, and that was the fact he was happy. So happy. 

I need to thank him. His brain finally came up with the suitable reason for his visit by the time he knocked on Katsuki’s door. 

On his second knock he was chickening out, and after the third knock, he started contemplating retreat. Too bad, though, the door already opened. 

“Uh...um...thank you!” Great, so far so good. Except maybe he should have mentioned what he was saying thanks for.

hi, this is my first ever ask so I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly, if that's the case I'm sorry; I don't know how tumblr works just yet >:')

would it be possible for you to write something about bakugo, pining incredibly hard for fem!reader and initially hating how strongly he feels about her? because they're not even friends, they only exchange few words occasionally and she doesn't even glance at his way whereas he slowly finds himself unable to divert his eyes from her during classes? shes always with damn deku and his friends and doesn't even seem interested in him at all but his heart can't ignore the way she looks at him proudly whenever they spar together, the way she sends him small confident smiles as they fight each other with all they have; so he thinks that maybe, maybe he might have a chance. basically bakugo liking reader so much he's completely lost in self-hatred because he always thought feelings were for weak romantics and not great people like him, but everytime he sees reader doing some badass things (again, like sparring with him and basically matching his skills etc...) he's reminded of how badly he likes reader? but when he finally accepts he's fallen for reader, after ignoring and trying to forget about how she makes him feel, he masters up the courage to confess? and it's a very clumsy confession because he's awkward and has no idea how to deal with those feelings? and he tries so hard to make reader realise he's never been more serious than now? and reader is startled and speechless before rejecting him? and at that point he's just completely humiliated, so he nods and walks away.

it might be a little dramatic but I've always been into unrequited love and one-sided pining. thank you, its okay if you don't want to write about this, i'll understand <33

reblogs are greatly appreciated! 

a/n: AHHHHH this is so cute <33 honestly this is super exciting for me and this ask made me so happy, lovey. i’m fairly new to tumblr, i’m usually just a reader but i wanted to migrate here from wattpad so this made me so happy. here u are my love <33 i hope this lives up to what u wanted !! :)) a bit lengthy, but i had a lot of fun writing it !!! 

summary: bakugou finds he’s rejecting his feelings for you in fear of becoming weak, however he just can’t seem to ignore you. 

genre: fluffy, fluffier than the clouds istg, however the clouds are sprinking a little teeny weeny droplet of angst. 

warnings: cursing (bakugou, duhh), one-sided pining (on bakugou’s part) second hand embarrassment (on bakugou’s part bc we can all agree he’s a complete idiot when it comes to trying to get someone’s attention), just bakugou being a jackass, i gave the reader a quirk

part 2 is here my loves <3

brutal. it was utterly ruthless. he couldn’t focus, couldn’t think right. his hands were already exceptionally sweaty, but gosh when he saw your damn face, he was ready to explode. literally. 

what the hell was it about you? was it your stupid smile? or the way you just seemed to carry every battle on your back? was it all the undeniably sweet things you do for others ‘just because’? 

it made him angry that he thought about you, but gosh he couldn’t wait to see you every day. 

just like any other day, bakugou found himself staring at the large door to the classroom, awaiting the moment you would bounce into his day, skirt shifting around your legs, bag slung loosely around your shoulders. 

his leg was bouncing eagerly. 

bakugou didn’t know when the feelings came. his cheeks just started flaring up all of a sudden and one day you just looked...different. you hadn’t done anything different to yourself. it was just him. not that he would ever admit that, to you or anybody else. 

you were insufferable. you were stupid and obnoxious and so...so damn... 

“y/n! come look at this!” 

you’d come walking into class just as expected, and as soon as you did, that stupid nerd had called you over. 

it didn’t help that deku sat right behind him, either. the two of you had recently gotten closer. bakugou noticed it last month when he yelled at the two of you to shut up about all might and get to work. he’d turned around to find you leaning over deku, hands resting on his shoulders while you peered at his phone. 

“sorry, bakugou,” you’d said, barely acknowledging him. you had waved him off like an annoying fly. is that all you were to him? some nuisance that got in the way of your oh-so-entertaining conversations with deku? 

all he heard nearly every day was your chipper voice talking to deku. always, “oh my gosh, midoriya, did you see the fight edgeshot was in last night?” or “midoriya! i have something to add to our quirk analysis book!” 

that was the one that took the cake. you two dorks shared a notebook, occasionally passed between one another, and filled it with junk about quirks and pro heroes. but no matter how much he tried to tune you out, no matter how he tried to zone off and think about something else, you were always there. it made him want to vomit how much he thought about you. 

you were doing an adorable shuffle over to midoriya’s desk and leaned over the table as you usually did while he angled his phone your way. “did you see this hero report?” 

deku let you slip the phone out of his grasp to get a better look. 

“no,” you breathed. “was this just recent?” 

“yeah,” deku said, taking the phone back. “last night.” 

“holy—” 

“can you guys shut up over there?” bakugou said, his voice quaking. 

“sorry, kacchan.” deku scrolled through the article. 

dammit, bakugou thought. “i wasn’t talking to you, nerd. i was talking to shitface over here.” he jerked his head towards you. his eyes flared in anger when he saw you were looking down at your phone, now focused in on the article yourself. “i was talking to you, asshat!” 

your eyes flicked up to his. you looked around for a moment before slowly pointing to yourself as if to say, “me?” 

his face scrunched. “yeah, you. you’re so damn loud.” gosh, he hated how his voice was cracking, how he could feel his ears and cheeks lighting up in a swollen, cherry red. his stomach flipped. 

she’s looking at you, gosh i’m sweating. i’m going to throw up. she’s so gorgeous. what the hell? they’re ugly as shit, i don’t think anything of them. 

his eyes bore into yours. 

“did you...need something?” 

your voice broke his trance. 

“kacchan, are you okay? you dozed off there for a second. you look like you’re burning up.” 

bakugou looked to deku who was currently stretching out of his seat, arm extended. he pressed the back of his hand to bakugou’s forehead. “you’re really warm, kacchan. should we call recovery girl?” 

it took him a moment to realize what was happening. his vision got blurry every time he was with you. bakugou smacked deku’s hand away. “i’m fine!” his voice lifted at the end, cracking. “i’m not sick. don’t you think i’d take better care of myself?” 

“i don’t doubt you take good care of yourself, kacchan, but everyone gets sick once in a while. there’s nothing wrong with that.” 

“i never get sick!” besides, if i got sick, i wouldn’t want you to be the one taking care of me. 

he was still pissed. he was always in a bad mood, however, more so right now because you’d gone straight back to your phone and that stupid hero article that was supposedly so damn interesting. 

soon enough, the bell rang, and you were seated at your desk. it was jirou’s old spot, however, after much convincing, you two had switched spots so you could be closer to deku. just a few months of getting close to the idiot and you two are suddenly best friends. jirou hadn’t minded one tiny bit, claiming she needed a break from how loud that section of the room was. 

late as always, aizawa came trudging into your room. thankfully, his entire body wasn’t obscured by a yellow sleeping bag that smelled of something unwashed and coffee and gasoline. (for some reason, aizawa’s clothes always smelled of it.) 

“lucky for you,” he began while shuffling papers on his desk, “all of you are doing training for these first periods.”

the class cheered in perfect unison, followed by their individual chatter. you had erupted with glee along with them, and bakugou was sure he felt his heart clench and then explode. just a tiny bit. but he shoved the feeling down just as quickly as it had come up. 

“go out to the field and wait for further instructions. don’t make a sound in the halls otherwise, i’ll expel all of you.” 

this shut everyone up in almost a second, the sound draining out just as water does. the first years trailed out into the hall, single-file mimicking the positions baby ducklings would take when following their mother. 

bakugou found himself walking faster when he saw you take up your spot in the line, hoping to land his spot right behind you. 

unfortunately, this idiot who considered himself bakugou’s friend tugged him back. “bakugou!” a familiar voice rasped. 

“shitty hair, let go of me.” 

“hey man, chill out. wanna partner up if we’re doing training in pairs?” 

bakugou glanced at the line, the spot that should have been reserved for him now taken up by sato. 

bakugou tugged his sleeve from kirishima’s hand. “whatever,” he snapped. 

“sounds good!” kirishima flashed him a toothy grin and a thumbs-up. the bubbly feeling in bakugou’s chest died down as he stood behind sato, the overwhelming scent of sugar filling his nose, various candies that would go straight to your arteries. 

“you smell like ass, damn,” bakugou remarked, squeezing his nostrils together. 

luckily, sato was tall enough to not hear the insult, as he towered over bakugou by just another head. the line began moving like a sloppy train down to the change rooms. 

bakugou scoffed as he listened to your giggle. he should be making you laugh. 

- 

“you’ll be given partners randomly from this box.” aizawa held up a familiar red box. “inside are all your names. i’ll select one, then that person will come up and pick another name from the box. that will be your assigned partner for today. as soon as you have your assigned partner, i want you guys to get straight to work.” 

denki raised a hand, speaking before being called on. “sensei, why are we getting random partners? we’re always allowed to choose.” 

“in the real world, you’re going to come across different villains every day. you’ll never improve your skills or your quirks if you keep fighting the same person.” 

denki sighed, slumping back. 

dammit, bakugou thought, gritting his teeth together. there wasn’t any way he wanted to be partners with you. it’s obvious he’d win the fight in the first few seconds. 

yes! exactly right! bakugou internally grinned. his fluctuating feelings had finally soothed themselves. you were just another extra, and he had no room for you in his head. 

aizawa took a moment to fiddle with the slips of paper inside the box. soon enough, he pulled out a name. “todoroki.” 

todoroki walked up, digging his hand into the box when aizawa held it out for him. he pulled out a name, delicately unraveling the slip. “uraraka, you’re my partner.” he deadpanned. 

the brunette grinned. “great!” 

the two found their own spot on the field, and the class’s attention was once again diverted to their grouchy teacher as he pulled out another name. 

“bakugou.” 

bakugou strutted up without a worry in his mind. he pulled a name to find... 

“y/n,” he said, voice a low growl. instead of the annoying fluttering in his chest, his eyes met yours, and they were filled with a different, new ferocity. he crumpled the paper in one hand, letting it twirl to the ground. 

you looked at him, unsmiling. your eyes gave away nothing, and to bakugou’s knowledge, all you saw in him was another opponent. 

it took him a moment to realize you had both locked eyes for about a minute. perhaps the two of you would have stayed as you were if aizawa hadn’t snapped at the two of you to get moving as yaomomo’s name was called. 

bakugou was on his way to the back of the field, you followed close behind. while there was plenty of room still, he chose a secluded area. while it was still open enough to view everything going on so nobody got hurt, it was often nobody chose to train here. for whatever reason, you weren’t sure. 

“wait up, bakugou,” you said. after a bit, you caught up to him. 

“if you can’t keep up, then...” then what? he looked at you from the side of his eye. “then don’t keep up...” gosh, here came the embarrassing, disgusting feeling of redness in his cheeks. 

you laughed. “what?” 

“shut up.” 

“you’re an idiot, bakugou.” 

“i said shut the hell up!”

“what, so you can call me shitface in front of the entire class but you get all pissed when i call you an idiot?” 

so you had heard him! 

he tongued his cheek, curling his hands around an invisible ball, explosions sparking in the centers of his palms. “don’t expect me to hold back, dumbass.” 

“i wouldn’t dream of it.” 

gosh he loved that about you. 

bakugou caught his thought in the air. 

ahem...gosh he hated that about you. 

you both charged in at the same time. his cry was louder than yours, but you struck first. 

he admired your quirk. while he’d overhead you explaining all the drawbacks it had, it was strong, and you were strong because you knew how to control it. 

purple arrows flew from your arms, going in your desired directions. if you lost focus for one moment, they’d vanish and weaken. if you focused too hard or long, you’d be plagued by a splitting headache. 

he’d spent too much time obsessing over your strengths and weaknesses.  

your arrows were weightless, however they were solid objects capable of carrying any mass, any thing, and worked as extensions of your body. 

the violet arrow had shot out at him, twisting around his right gauntlet and crushing inwards. it’d snaked around him without him noticing, slithering along his back. 

bakugou struggled to get the air-light arrow off his wrist, but it was no use. he glared back, only to see your focused, furrowed brows. he’d expected to see your cocky ass smiling. it was nice to see you weren’t. 

that was one thing that had also caught his eye. you never underestimate your opponent, but you never underestimate yourself, either. 

you conjured a larger arrow. it snaked around your right arm as you hurled bakugou into the air, releasing your grasp on him. you shot your other arrow into the air, and it raced into the sky. 

it swerved. bakugou’s eyes went wide as the tip of the arrow came down on his chest. if they weren’t intangible things, he would have been bleeding out. 

another drawback: the arrows, while they could solidify, they couldn’t do any actual damage. you had to use your surroundings to inflict harm on your opponent. 

he coughed out as the arrow shot him into the ground. he hadn’t even touched you, and here he was, vulnerable and so...so... 

you stood over him, hands on your hips. 

vulnerable and so lost in that adorable, winning smile. 

“get away from me, idiot,” he grunted and turned onto his side, his back crying out in pain. 

“i think i won this fight, bakugou,” you chirped, rocking on your heels. 

“don’t get arrogant, shithead. you won’t be winning against me anymore.” 

you grinned, arrows shooting out behind your back. 

- 

the dorms were exceptionally quiet. you were typing away in the common room, bakugou on the couch reading. everyone was off doing something else. it was the weekend, luckily. he’d expected you to go bounding out with everyone else, however you’d stayed back, claiming you had some homework to catch up on. 

bakugou being classic bakugou had stayed back. he was excited to have the dorm to himself, but your dumbass was stuck here with him. couldn’t you have done your typing in your room? 

you were so aggressive on that poor keyboard. 

“oi, quiet down with your shit typing.” 

you barely grunted in response. 

“don’t ignore me.” 

“i heard you, mom.” 

“the hell did you call me?” 

no response. only your aggressive typing is a bit less aggressive. 

“i can still hear it,” bakugou remarked, eyes fixed on your back. 

“‘kay,” you said. your typing slowed a tad, and your pressure on the keys lessened. 

it was quiet now. bakugou should go back to his book. he shouldn’t still be looking for a reason to talk to you. 

the pages crinkled in his fingers. he bit his tongue, keeping his snarky comments in. 

“you’re a fucking idiot, you know that? doing your damn homework. it’s due tomorrow.” 

you turned, pursing your lips. “and how would you know what i’m working on? are you stalking me?” 

“i- what? no. you’re such an idiot, of course i’m not—” 

“i’m messing with you,” you breathed, face un-moving. 

“o-oh,” bakugou stuttered out. he blinked awkwardly. 

“gosh, what’s gotten your panties in a twist?” 

“you’re annoying.” 

“you’re a jackass.” you returned to your work. bakugou settled with reading in his room. reading consisted of jumping onto his bed just as the stereotypical high school girl would in an eighties movie. he buried his face in his pillow, face burning bright red. he cursed you for making him feel this way, and hated himself even more for how much he enjoyed it. 

- 

the next day came swiftly. you’d left early to go train with midoriya. there were many improvements needed to be made, but you weren’t doing too bad.

you propelled yourself forwards with an arrow, and your green-haired friend shot back, lightning flickering around his body. 

landing back on the ground, you panted and swiped the sweat from your brow. from the corner of your eye, you could make out both kirishima and bakugou coming to the training grounds. 

bakugou stopped in his tracks, frowning at the sight of you. 

it was evident he hated you a bit more than everyone else. he was always making his annoying comments, he was always snubbing you. you saw no reason to talk to him, so you didn’t. either way, even if you tried, he would still get angry for no reason. 

it’d taken you quite some time to get used to his obnoxious attitude. tuning him out had been the best course of action, in your opinion. 

the way you and midoriya had bonded was through bakugou, in a way. the first day of school, bakugou had snapped at you for tripping over your laces and nearly crashing into him. later that day, midoriya had stepped up and apologized for his old friend’s actions. 

you two had never been too close until now. the recent incidents going on with the league of villains had snagged your attention, and it seemed you were the only person who didn’t mind listening to him ramble on about heroes. 

you were just as passionate and just as dorky, but midoriya could talk your ear off. you never minded, and he always took the hint when you didn’t want to listen. 

you brought your leg up, twirling in the air with ease and watched your heel collide with midoriya’s face. he grunted, stumbling back. 

you were about to charge in again when a hand landed on your shoulder, big and rough. you turned to see bakugou standing behind you, a scowl on his face. 

“fight me again,” he demanded. 

“excuse me?” 

“don’t act like you didn’t hear me.” 

“i’m in the middle of fighting midoriya right now.” 

“so?”

“so if you think that i’m just going to ditch my friend because you want to fight, i won’t.” 

“you’re being stubborn.” 

“i’m being reasonable. back off.” 

“y/n?” midoriya rubbed his jaw—right where you had struck him. “what’s going on?” he jogged up to you and bakugou. 

“he wants to fight me in the middle of our fight. it’s nothing serious. don’t worry about it, midoriya. let’s just ignore him.” 

bakugou made a sound someone would only make if they were choking. “the hell did you just say?” 

“we’re ignoring you!” you waved him off and placed your hand on midoriya’s shoulder, wandering away. 

-

it was new to him, not getting what he wanted. and what he wanted right now was to be around you. again, it wasn’t like he would ever admit that to himself. 

“dude? you good? i thought you went off to fight y/n. i was so ready to cheer you on, dude,” kirishima’s chipper voice piped in. “she’s not fighting with you? why not?” 

“the dumbass was just probably scared of getting her ass beat by me.” 

“dude...that sounds really weird.” 

“whatever, shitty hair. let’s go.” 

- 

the clock ticked. his ears were on fire. again. 

gosh, it was happening again. it was all you. his face scrunched up, his voice would surely crack if someone were to ask him what was wrong. 

bakugou was once again stuffing his face in his pillow, hiding his expression from no one. why did you have to go train with that shitty nerd? why were you always around deku? deku, of all people. what did he have? why was he so great? 

bakugou was a man of many insecurities, but losing to deku? that was possibly his biggest fear. 

perhaps he wasn’t the nicest, or the most soft person out there. bakugou could admit that, at least. but he was smarter than deku. he was stronger and he was better and people liked him more. right? 

what was so...amazing about deku? 

it was often bakugou would find himself obsessing over little, insignificant things such as these. 

you were what he was thinking of most of the time. just yesterday, he’d gotten a test returned. he was expecting an eighty at the lowest, but more so expecting a high ninety. it’d come back exactly sixty percent. 

sixty. percent.

bakugou vividly remembered staring at your face. he also remembered not being able to focus because of it. his grades were dropping because of you. 

you were the only person to be able to do this to him. 

his heart grew quiet, but the pounding of his didn’t cease. he lifted his head. 

“alright, fine,” he said aloud. “you win, y/n. you win.” 

he settled with getting over his feelings the way he’d read them in his collection of romance manga. 

bakugou left his room and knocked on your door. (he was banging on it, but it was his nice way of knocking.) 

you answered, looking around awkwardly. “yes?” 

his hands shook. how was this supposed to go? sure, he’d seen it in romance movies and read it in books but it was always easy to tell whether the guy would get the girl or not. 

in this instance, bakugou was clueless. for once in his life, he was clueless. you stood, tapping your foot with a hand on your hip, waiting expectantly for him to tell you why he was here. 

“um.” he scratched behind his neck. “you uh- i uh...i’m sorry i called you a, um...a shitface.” 

“okay? is that it?” 

what? come on! it was already unlike him to apologize. what else did you want from him? 

“did you...i’ve been thinking, maybe? maybe we could..train together as...friends?”  

“...what?” 

gosh dammit, as friends? 

“whatever, um...the uh...” oh gosh, what did the boys do in all the books he’d read? right! bakugou stretched out his arm, resting his forearm on the door, leaning to the side. 

although he didn’t, really, because like the clumsy jackass he was, bakugou missed completely and nearly toppled to the floor. 

this earned a snicker from you. 

his stomach flipped and churned, and bakugou found himself unable to reach your eyes. “uh, would you maybe..? okay, um. do you want to go on a date with me? you absolute fucking dumbass.” 

your eyes flew wide. “...what?” 

“no, that’s not what i— i mean i didn’t mean the last part. um, i meant the first part. the first two parts. the part where i was asking you if you wanted to go on a date with me and then before that when i said maybe because it’s still a maybe until you say yes. or...or no because that’s an option too.” 

he swallowed. 

you resisted the urge to mock him, just a little bit. “um, bakugou, listen.” 

he leaned closer. “yes?” 

“it’s going to be a no. i’m sorry, but i’m just not interested in you like that.” 

it took him a moment to register everything. his shoulders sagged. gosh that was brutal. 

“oh, alright.” 

“yeah, uh, sorry about that.” you offered him a weak smile, still a bit shocked yourself. he did his best to return it, and when you closed the door, his face was ready to explode. 

it was so damn difficult to deal with these feelings, but maybe it was better this way. knowing where you stood on your end, he knew he wouldn’t miss out on anything. 

perhaps it was alright to admire from afar. things could happen in the future, right? 

right now, he’d just wait. for a long, long time. bakugou pressed a hand to his chest, feeling his erratic heartbeat. maybe it was alright to not have you right now. perhaps he could better himself for you. just for you.

[faulty-writes]

Hey, I was wondering if you could do a story where the reader always called Katsuki “sparky” even before they were friends, idk I just like that 😂

[ I have no idea what this is. But it’s what my brain came up with. ] 

Childhood was a funny thing. Sometimes you forget the joyful things that happened to you and sometimes the nightmarish memories stick with you. When you were small, you remembered the day recess came to a crashing halt. It had rained the previous day and you were giggling, jumping into the various puddles that scattered the ground. The other kids were screaming and having fun, but you were often by yourself. So you decided you’d have a little fun with the aftermath of the rain, that is until a blood-curdling scream filled the air. “Children back inside!” your teacher called and you watched as a large menacing figure collided with the nearby power lines.

This was your first time catching a fight in action and you were one of the few children who had stayed outside during the fight. The damage that was left behind was incredible, the power had gone out in the surrounding area and several wires had fallen to the ground. Some of which littered the playground. You heard the teacher calling for the students once more but you turned your attention to the large puddle near you. It looked clear and reflected the clouds in the sky, you smiled and ran over.

Ready to jump before someone grabbed your hand, you stumped back and looked at the person. “Come on, stupid! The teacher is calling for you! Gees you’re just like Deku, never listen.” he huffed, his puffy blond hair sticking out everywhere and he wore a sour expression. You pulled your arm away before smiling, “Sparky!” you said and watched his face twist with disgust, “Stop calling me that, stupid!” he snapped before dragging you back to the classroom. But it wasn’t known until later that one of the wires had fallen into that puddle and though Katsuki didn’t know it. He had actually saved your life that day.

In fact, if he hadn’t stopped you from jumping. You would have been electrocuted and when you found that out, at such a young age. It was kind of scary and almost humorous that now the nickname you had for him had a double meaning. Originally you called him sparky because of his quirk. But now, you called him Sparky as a reminder of the day he saved you if it weren’t for him. You would have literally been sparked out of life. Of course, as the years went by and you relocated. You had lost touch with your elementary classmates, not that it mattered much.

Your dream was to become a hero and there was only one school worthy of that, U.A. High and you applied as soon as you could. Of course, getting into the Hero Course was a dream come true and you nearly screamed when you saw that familiar angry blond. “Well, well, well. I’m surprised to see you, Sparky,” you said with a chuckle, and his face twisted with anger. “What the hell did you say!?” he snapped before slamming his fists onto the desk, all the new students jumped away. But you only chuckled in response, “Come now, don’t tell me you don’t remember me?” you said, placing your hand on your hip.

“Why the hell would I remember a dumbass like you!?” he snapped and you shrugged, “Gee, Sparky what a faulty memory you have. You really don’t remember me from elementary school?” you questioned and though Katsuki was still clearly angry, the truth was. He did remember you, “Yeah you’re the annoying kid that always called me by that dumbass name, well fuck off! We’re not friends.” he snapped, “I’m only here for one thing and that’s to beat all you goddamn extras. Got that!?” you shrugged, “I guess so.” you replied before feeling him brush past you. He was still the same angry boy as before.

But that didn’t stop you from trying to be his friend, in fact from the start all of your dedication was directed at him. Some of your friends thought it was crazy, even Tsuyu had grown concerned and mistook your dedication for a crush. But you assured her, Katsuki didn’t have your heart in any way. Still, you always cheered for him during combat and on occasion you had called him your hero and even stood up for him when a few classmates decided to talk shit about him. “Forgive me for overstepping my boundaries,” Tenya began, “But why is it that you defend Bakugou at every turn? I did not know you and him were friends, to begin with.” you shrugged at the question.

Once more the memory of when you were little played through your mind and you turned to stare out the window with a dreamy expression. “Let’s just say I owe him my life in a way and leave it at that,” you responded, though your answer left your classmates more confused. How could you owe Katsuki your life? Frankly, you didn’t care if they understood or not. You had your reasons and they were personal, but Katsuki was growing fed up with your positive attitude toward him and you knew he was going to burst at any moment. Not that you minded, after all. You didn’t find Katsuki to be that scary.

But that could be because you didn’t know the extent of his anger. One day, during training you seemed particularly focused on cheering Katsuki on. Your arms up in the air as he went against Iida. “Yes! Go Sparky! Kick his ass! You’re my hero! Go, go, go!” you cheered, making the rest of Class 1-A feel embarrassed for you. It seems like you had gladly taken the position of cheerleader, “Uh ...y/n, I’m not sure if that’s helping Kacchan.” Midoriya tried to reason with you as he laid his hand on your shoulder, but you shrugged it off. “What are you talking about Sparky is-” you heard a loud crash before you could finish your sentence and turned to see what had happened.

You gasped as you saw Katsuki’s face buried in the ground and Iida smiling as though he had accomplished something. A growl came from Katsuki before he slammed his fists against the ground and pulled his head up, you could see dirt and blood smeared on his face. His angry stare directed at you, “DAMN YOU. DUMBASS.” he screamed as he pointed a shaky finger at you. “This is your goddamn fault!” you took a step back, feeling your classmate's eyes on you. “Well, they were cheering so much, it probably distracted him.” you heard Denki comment, and Kirishima nodded in agreement.

You growled and turned to face them, “Hey!” you said, a pout on your lips before you pressed a hand against your chest. “At least I support him! What the hell do you guys do? You’re his friends and you don’t even give him any encouragement!” Midoriya placed his hand on your shoulder again. “Uh y/n, you might want to stop,” he suggested before Katsuki’s voice pierced through the air. “WHEN I SEE YOU, I’M GOING TO BLAST YOUR FACE OFF.” he threatened and you tried to ignore the smug looks Denki and Kirishima had before hanging your head. “I’m going to try and escape to the classroom now, please don’t tell Katsuki where I am,” you said before running off.

But Katsuki was quick and you stumbled back as you saw him standing at the entrance of Gym Gamma. You swallowed, raising your hands up. “Hey ...how are you …” you said, feeling sweat build up as Katsuki stomped his way over to you. “What the hell is your problem!?” he snapped before grabbing your wrist and you cried out as he dragged you to the entrance only to pin you against the wall. The fist next to your head made you a little nervous. “Well, answer me, dumbass!” he snapped and you noticed that his face was still covered with smudges of dirt and a few red spots.

You crossed your arms, turning your head away from him. “You don’t remember, do you …” you muttered and Katsuki growled. “Remember what!? Stop playing games, damn it!” he was getting a little sick of you, even as you turned to glare at him. “I’m not playing games!” you snapped back before letting out a sigh, “Look …” you began, lifting your hands up. “You remember that day from elementary school when All Might fought that villain and knocked out the power, Sparky?” you watched his pupils grow small and a deep growl sounded in his throat. The fist next to your head tightened and another shiver ran down your spine. But you couldn’t let him know you were afraid.

“Why the fuck do you keep calling me that!?” he demanded before that hand on the wall reached down to grab your shirt and pull you forward. You gasped and reached up, wrapping your fingers around his arm. “Answer me first, Katsuki …” you said, though you were a little hesitant and your heart was racing. For a moment, Katsuki’s anger faded and he released your shirt. “Yeah, yeah. I remember. What of it?” you swallowed, though your heart was still racing and you felt a little embarrassed to tell him. But maybe if he knew, he wouldn’t be so angry with you.

“I call you Sparky because ...well originally it was because of your quirk, how your explosions would spark from the palm of your hands,” you said, moving your fingers in the process. “But the day after All Might had fought that villain and knocked down the powerlines. I found something out,” you explained, feeling your cheeks flush and Katsuki tilted his head. “What the hell did you find out …” he said, almost like he was pushing you to hurry up. You dropped your hands by your sides. “I was playing in the puddles that day and after the fight, even with the power lines all over the playground. I went to jump into another puddle but you stopped me,” you explained, watching his eyes widen as if he remembered.

“Yeah …” he said, “Well, I learned later that there was a powerline in that puddle and if I had jumped in it. If you hadn’t stopped me, well I wouldn’t be here right now. I guess that just made your nickname Sparky all the more meaningful.” you explained, Katsuki’s eyes were still wide but his face lacked any emotion. His lips were parted as if he didn’t want to believe your story. You chuckled, almost thinking his expression was cute. “I guess that’s why I always call you my hero because in a way you are and well, I never actually got to thank you for what you did, so.” you stepped forward and pressed a hand to the side of his face.

“W-What are you doing?” he questioned before you got onto your tippy toes. You cupped the side of his face and with a smile, pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Thank you, Sparky. Don’t let me down now.” you joked before brushing past him, leaving him with a red face. Maybe you broke him, but you were only speaking the truth. He saved your life and you’d continue to remind him of that. Even if it made him angry, the name Sparky to you represented a friend, a hero, and hopefully something more.

YEAR END FIC REVIEW 2019

This year I wrote:

The Dumpster Fire - a bunch of random ‘verses 

to catch the golden snitch 

we're young gods 

all these delicate things 

no peace, no quiet in your eyes 

rip out those wings, darling 

the little prince 

interlude: world's okayest dad 

—to the moon and back 

as the moon bears witness (i swear to you) 

ao3 tells me that’s 95k wc if we discount random teasers/snippets i only wrote on tumblr & twitter than we’re well over 100k. 

Overall thoughts

I honestly thought I wrote less this year giving how many actual new stories I have up on ao3, but over 100k is still a pretty admirable job so far so I can’t be all that disappointed in myself. I don’t have an actual estimate wc on everything bc I post random snippets/teasers on twitter and than move the more edit and polish version on tumblr AND THAN i move it to my dumpstire fire collection if it fit. so like, i don’t know exactly how much wc i did but still moderately impressive given how profoundly lazy i can be lol /o\. 

there were a lot of things i wanted to do but i didn’t get around to it bc i held myself back from committing to various big projects due to my promise/obligation to updating social media au :S. which i guess is good bc i didn’t add on to MORE WIPs but also depressing bc im stuck in a rut bc of it. i hope to explore more projects next year!

My best story of the year

“we’re young gods” prob my psuedo mad max post-apocalyptic wasteland abo au... GOD WHAT A MOUTHFUL. outside!pov has always been one of my fav narrative piece to write esp when im building a evolving world that come with it. i love a post-apocalyptic landscape, the fight and survive theme has always been a deep fascination for me plus w/ abo which makes it even more interesting. i talk a lot about the idea of kingmaker and the person behind the seat of power/throne a lot and i wanted that deeply in a lot of my ‘verses bc stories of movers and shakers of the world are always fun bc their actions have such HUGE RAMIFICATION and i always like politics and wars a little too much lol /o\. 

My favorite story of the year

“to catch the golden snitch” bc i really like my veela!katsuki fic the most. prob bc it plays into adapting some familiar concept/theme/source (HPverse) and putting my fav spin on them with bkdk. i have always been fond of creaturefics in hp fandom so i knew i wanted to make another VEELAFIC bc why the fuck not. it also play into my fav trope of katsuki being something inhuman, dangerous, and beautiful and also SO COMPLETELY WHIPPED FOR THS HUMAN BOY ;D. 

Most fun story to write

“to the moon and back” aka DRUNK!IZUKU FIC!!!! bc HELLO DRUNK IZUKU IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST.

Story with the single sexiest moment

“all these delicate things’ or aka the panties fic bc unf i really like see man indulge in feminine things esp when they’re someone who had such a history of violence like izuku who had suffer so much hurt in his life; AND ON HIS BODY which are riddled with scars and i think should allow yourself to be kind/softer to yourself and things like panties are so DELICATE that idk i really dig that juxtaposition??? A LOT. 

Most "holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story

“rip out those wings darling” aka mutual yandere fic i was originally given a prompt by someone but my giftee dropped out so I RAN WILD AND CAME UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT. idk i always like fucked up relationship esp when it’s mutually assured destruction kind of fucked up where they both equally crazy about each other and im all for that. fandom has a habit of making izuku being super creepy stalker but they make him violent rapist and that doesn’t sit well with me. you can make izuku creepy and stalkerish w/o playing into that kind of things :S. i hate how darkfics these days are like fall under that purview when you can have darkfic w/o necessitating sexual violence... like pls explore mindgames and emotional/mental manipulation more like man i think that’s much more interesting so i tried that with this fic. izuku doesn’t hurt others or hurt katsuki BUT HURT HIMSELF to manipulate katsuki to care for him and im like SO ABOUT THAT bc it play into his self sacrificing nature w/o me bending his characterization to make him into something recognizable and katsuki violent obsession and possession with izuku is ramped up but it isn’t sexualized but about ownership and wanting to izuku enough to to kill and idk i dig their mutual destructive habits about each other lol. 

Story that shifted my own perception of the characters

i swear to god i don’t like the villain!deku trope. im more indiff to it than anything but the trope tend to twist him into something unrecognizable to me but when i was coming up about this ‘verse i wanted izuku to be a bit jaded and betrayed by the world/society but still SO EARNEST AND HOPEFUL about it even though his goals has twisted in a way that by saving it he has to break it first. somehow trying to true to himself as he slip further and further in darkness and i just find that kind of duality fascinating????? like how do i keep in character but make him fall and see his struggles b/t both sides and i find myself liking villain!deku just a tiny, A TINY more and open so much potential. 

Hardest story to write

“as the moon bears witness” bc i did a rushed job on it and I HATE IT W/ THE FIRE OF TEN THOUSANDS SUNS. there’s so much i wanted to include but i fucked up and i hate how much I FUCKED UP ON IT. this is def the fic i regretted the most bc i knew what i wanted but i couldn’t exactly execute it correctly but instead of trying to think of a way to fix it i just let it go and i hate it and myself ever since than. UGH. 

Biggest disappointment

"AS THE MOON BEARS WITNESS” for the exact same reason as above. i want to rewrite this so SO BAD and i will. 

Biggest surprise

i didn’t have any surprise fics tbh. everything that i wrote is pretty much under my purview LOL but i found myself being more active on twitter the last half of the year and writing more threads (i.e. live writing) than moving it on tumblr. a lot of pieces i written on twitter was sudden for me and took me hostage but ya know what i go with the flow anyway bc what can i say im just a weak, weak girl w/ zero self control. 

Most unintentionally telling story

maybe “no peac, no quiet in your eyes”? I think that idea slapped me across the face bc i spent a week getting really obsessed with asoiaf fics on ao3 and man I LOVE POLITICS AND WARS?? did i mention that??? i love dynastic rules, warring kingdoms, and a love earth shattering enough to move mountains and i wanted to see that so much so that ‘verse kind of happened. 

Story I haven't written yet, but intend to

omfg SO MANY JUST SOOO SOOO MANY. i would really to get around to writing a full fledged fic of either surrogate au or sperm donor au bc i love that kind of unconventional family and romcom are like YA KNOW MY WEAKNESS. 

Goals for this year:

like every year i keep saying i want to do tododekubaku fic and maybe 2020 WILL BE MY YEAR??

finish social media ch 2 before/around my bday of this month as a gift to myself a;sjdf;alsjdf lol 

take on more projects that won’t land in the dumpstire fire collections

explore new fic avenues bc i always like trying new things and breaking in new genre/tropes bc why the fuck not

write all THE CLICHES and don’t let anyone tell me otherwise about my omega!deku loving ways

Previously on BnHA: Todo, Bakugou, Inasa, and Camie were assailed by a bunch of six-year-olds with some admittedly impressive quirks. We learned about the theory of “quirk singularity” which basically says that quirks are going to keep getting more and more powerful with each generation until they become impossible to control. Not sure if this will come up again, but it’s a cool concept. The adults watching were all “...” but it turned out that the Baby-Sitters Club had things under control. They easily blocked the kids’ attacks, and then used their own quirks to create an awesome playplace for the kids with a giant ice slide. (Oh yeah, and we also learned that CAMIE HAS A FUCKING ILLUSION QUIRK. So that was cool too.) Bakugou had a heart to heart with the bratty leader of the kids, and told him that he wouldn’t be able to grow unless he learned to stop looking down on other people. Yes, Bakugou actually said this. Yes, that Bakugou. Not to be outdone, Endeavor now appears poised to start his own journey of becoming less of an asshole. This is exciting, you guys. I’m excited.

Today on BnHA: The babysitting squad bids farewell to the kids, who have now been totally reformed and are all polite little angels. The U.A. and Shiketsu teachers discuss plans to work together in the future and foster a closer relationship, seeing as both schools have had their students targeted by the League of Villains. Endeavor tells Shouto he’s proud of him and vows to become a man Shouto can be proud of too. The internship arc wraps up and we learn that U.A. suspended the kids’ internships with Ryuukyuu and Fat Gum for the time being, and that Eri has woken up and is doing better, but she’s still in the hospital for now while they analyze her mental state and try to figure out how to handle her potentially lethal quirk. A few days later, we catch up with Deku, whose affections Aoyama seems to be trying to pry by randomly giving him cheese. Later that night, in what is unquestionably the single most terrifying scene in this series to date, Deku hops into bed only for the camera to pan over to Aoyama, who is standing pressed up against Deku’s balcony door, just fucking watching him sleep. Good night, everyone.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through half of chapter 192 now (lol I just need more time to binge), so any ETAs will reflect that.)

so now playtime is over and they are professionally demolishing the slide

don’t act like this isn’t easily the best part of your day you psycho

Chain Chomp is volunteering to help by having his little chomps eat the ice shards

Shouto is praising him and saying that a quirk like that would shine during a disaster rescue operation

the teacher is amazed at how calm the kids have become

but Gang Orca says that the kids attitudes “reflect their evaluation of us adults”

he says that them unleashing their quirks without hesitation like that is a problem of the education system

yeah, I’ll say. I’m thinking back to Katsuki and Izuku’s chaotic middle school now, and it’s safe to say that place had a similar problem with a lack of decent quirk counseling and education. their teachers basically just let the kids go off whenever and use their quirks all the damn time. whoever was tasked with teaching them responsibility and ethics clearly fucked up in a major way

anyway, it seems these kids have now been nudged onto the proper path, and their sensei is vowing to teach them well

lol look at them returning Bakugou’s gauntlets so solemnly

so now they’re bidding the tykes farewell, and Gang Orca is appraising how they did in the assignment

“abstract challenge” lmao. A++ government trolling for sure

holy shit would you look at these disrespectful little delinquents

this is why he keeps punting them every time he sees them. he’s just desperate to maintain their attention in any way he possibly can

so the kids have changed back and are getting ready to go their separate ways

you guys I think Shouto is finally warming up to Inasa omg

like, he doesn’t look completely annoyed just by his mere presence anymore! progress

also lol at Camie pointing out that when Bakugou is keeping quiet, his manners can actually pass for decent

and then him immediately shouting at her to shut up, because GOD FORBID anyone get it into their heads that he’s actually capable of behaving like a normal, calm human person

uh oh Inasa’s going all “!” and it looks like he’s spotted Endeavor up ahead with the other teachers

Camie’s running over to them now and she’s all, “oh my god, Seiji’s talking to All Might”

and he says that they were actually talking about her

her teacher says that they’re talking about forming a closer relationship between the two schools and sharing information with each other

and part of the reason why is that they still don’t know why Camie was attacked, and it would be easier to figure out if they worked more closely with U.A.

good call there. if you want to find out more about the League of Villains, that is

maybe less of a good call if you actually want your students to stay out of the constant-villain-attacks-and-secret-traitors shitshow that U.A.’s got going on, though

so apparently they’re talking about setting up some cooperative training exercises between the two schools. ooh, that would be fun. I’m on board for this

meanwhile Endeavor is trying to casually chat up his estranged son

hoo boy this is awkward as fuck

hey here’s an idea, maybe don’t pretend like everything’s good between you and like you haven’t done anything wrong. maybe try showing some remorse or something. that’d be a good start

dammit

okay here’s the thing. I fully believe this is true, and that he’s proud of him for finding his own path and his own strength. we saw at the end of the last chapter that he was possibly starting to come to a lot of extremely belated realizations

but the thing is that Shouto doesn’t know any of that, and as far as he’s concerned, Endeavor’s still the bastard who spent Shouto’s entire life telling him “I created you to surpass All Might” in addition to the various other bastardly things

so when Shouto hears “I’m proud of you” from this man, I have to assume he’s going to take it as Endeavor being proud of how strong he’s become in terms of mastering his quirk. like, “good on you, you’re closer than ever to becoming the perfect little super soldier puppet I created you to be.” rather than “I’m proud of you for the good person you are and for the strength of character that you’ve shown today and continue to show and that you certainly never got from me”

anyways, yeah. so Shouto looks quite angry, actually

meanwhile Inasa’s watching them like

are you gonna step in and help your new best friend out here buddy

!

oh shit, sudden vulnerable power move from Endeav out of nowhere

oh damn

there’s a lot going on in just that one simple sentence, though

for starters, it’s an acknowledgement that Shouto is rightfully not in the least bit proud of him right now (on account of him having been a piece of shit this entire time). and then obviously, it’s also a promise to become a better person. not just a stronger person, but a better man

so, yeah. I like this. progress. finally some long-overdue steps toward making things right

(ETA: honestly, I love that Horikoshi had the nads to go for an Endeavor redemption arc after going out of his way to make him as unlikable as humanly possible. it’s like he purposely set the challenge level to the highest possible difficulty and then took a deep breath and said “okay, let’s do this.” looking back at Endeavor’s introduction and even his character profile, it’s clear he had this whole thing planned from the start, but he patiently played the long game and took no shortcuts, and all in all I’m extremely impressed.)

Shouto doesn’t look like he has any idea how to react to this, and he’s mostly just still irritated

that’s about as good of a response as Endeavor could hope to get, honestly. now leave him alone and go start improving yourself you douchebag

omg

what just happened

did he just punch himself in the face and then power walk up to the guy that he hates

what the fuck you guys

which angel up in heaven is responsible for molding this young man. what did you put in him. he’s so fucking nice. how is he so nice. why did he punch himself, that was so violent and I’m honestly very concerned. but mostly, just. WHY SO NICE GODDAMMIT

lol and now All Might is just

had enough of this weirdness, eh

now All Might is thinking optimistic thoughts about how much progress everyone is making little by little, and it’s so heartwarming

(ETA: I just wanted to add that that last panel in the bottom left is a favorite of mine. I fucking love moments when mentors are looking on at their kids proudly and the kids aren’t aware of it and so they just keep on doing whatever it was that made the mentor proud to begin with. there is such fondness in All Might’s expression here. it’s so gentle. he is so proud of them in this moment. and Bakugou isn’t aware of his hero’s eyes on him; he’s just looking back at Shouto, who he’s been getting on with to a degree that would previously have been shocking tbh. and of course we got the reminder just two chapters ago that Bakugou does know about Shouto’s history with his father, so I interpret this glance here as just him quietly assessing his classmate’s status after that chat with dad, and making sure he’s all good so he can recommence being annoyed by everything he does and making sure he knows it. and meanwhile Shouto is just caught up in his own thoughts, but just like All Might said, he is making progress. little by little he is figuring out how to move on.

just, there’s so much going on here and I didn’t even get into all of it, honestly. but basically I just got caught up in the moment and remembered how much I love this series and its characters omg.)

and now we’re cutting to class 1-A a few days later!

the narration is saying that September has come to a close and it’s now October. wow, seriously? you mean it wasn’t already?

well, I suppose that makes sense. the provisional license exam was probably set on September 1st or around then. so they’ve been doing these supplementary courses every weekend since then, so this was probably like their fourth one. one of these days I’m going to have to make a timeline, if there isn’t one out there already

(ETA: there’s actually a pretty nice one up on reddit somewhere, but I haven’t looked at it too closely yet because spoilers.)

HEY WHAT THE FUCK

I DIDN’T ASK FOR THESE FEELS YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

but also does this mean Mirio is officially back at U.A., though? because that’s good. even if he doesn’t have his quirk, it doesn’t mean he can’t still complete the last year of the hero course. he’s still gotta keep up with his studies and stay in shape

(ETA: U.A. is honestly failing their most gifted student in his time of greatest need and I’m so mad about it. what the fuck U.A.)

also THANK GOD, they ended up putting the internships on hold for the time being. THANK YOU JESUS

honestly it was the right call. let’s give these kids a break from trauma for a little while. or at the very least try to do so

and apparently Centipeder took over Nighteye’s agency and they are awaiting Mirio’s return. ;_; awww

AHHHHHHH

MY SWEET BABY

“her psychological state is still unstable” gee you think??

and this is the first time we’ve seen her without the bandages on her arms, and there are all those little scars there and I was just slammed by feels oh shit

but still! she’s safe! and getting better finally!

and they’re actually explaining about the horn on her forehead oh wow

does this mean her power is weaker now than it used to be? I honestly feel like Horikoshi’s doing a good job of keeping this in check for now. he’s made it so she can’t control it, and that excessive use of it can do her serious harm and put her in a fever coma. so for the time being, it doesn’t look like we have to worry about this becoming a deus-ex-machina type of thing

but I honestly don’t see why they can’t just give her some gloves and let her interact with people

at least Aizawa is clearly visiting her, though. maybe he can adopt her. I mean, he’s the second best dad in the series, and honestly just a dad hug or two from stealing the top place from All Might if he really really wants to. I’m just saying, Aizawa. the power is yours

(ETA: man, the Basement Arc dragged on so long that I almost forgot what it was like for this manga to give me exactly what I want. it is such a nice feeling omg. we can still be simpatico with just a little bit of effort.)

oh hey

so can we take this as confirmation that Ecto teaches math, then? so that’s him for math, and Present Mic for English. I still have Aizawa down for art unless anyone can prove otherwise

holy moly Jirou has taken her blazer off and rolled up her sleeves and is chewing on her earbud in thought

this, to me, is 1000x hotter than any skimpy boobs-showing costume Horikoshi could ever design you guys. not that I’m being all “hey look how smoking hot this 16-year-old is!” or anything like that lol. but she looks good and once again her lesbian energy is off the charts, and I’m sure that if Momo wasn’t so distracted by math right at this moment then she’d be all over that

however she is, in fact, distracted by math!

stumped, in fact. wow, seriously?

and now Tokoyami is continuing to look around the class, and it seems that his attention has fallen onto Deku. and it’s not hard to see why

YOU GO, DEKU. PUT THAT BIG HERO BRAIN THROUGH ITS PACES

oh!

SO CONFIDENT

LMAO

SO MUCH FOR THAT BIG HERO BRAIN

but did you see Bakugou’s face though omggggg

Deku can’t seem to figure out where he went wrong. huh

I don’t see why this is a big deal at all, but let’s see where this takes us!

now Ecto is dismissing them for lunch

Ocha and Iida are coming up to Deku to congratulate him for his ferocious efforts

oh?

do tell, narrator Deku

WHAT THE

first of all, somehow that nearly scared the SHIT out of me

and second of all... what

I don’t think any of us were expecting that lmao

wow, Deku is summing up both of my reactions so neatly

YOU SCARED ME! and CHEESE!? yep. pretty much covers it all

Aoyama has got a whole plate of cheese in fact, and now he’s trying to feed Deku more

Deku’s trembling slightly and says his mouth is still full

now Iida is inviting Aoyama to join their group since he usually eats alone

but he says the cafeteria doesn’t suit his tastes

is he drinking wine

(ETA: ngl, after I first finished reading this chapter I went back to this part and I was honestly wondering whether or not he was drinking blood. can you imagine. like Toga’s own fucked up form of Polyjuice potion.)

and Iida’s just letting him. wow

also that katakana is cracking me the fuck up omg

holy shit Deku, you’re fucking telling me your ominous narration was about fucking Aoyama this whole time

and now we’re visiting Deku’s room at night huh

it’s 1 a.m. and he’s still studying, wow. Bakugou has been asleep for five hours already lmao

um

holy SHIT????!!

-- HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS WAIT UP

because I was all 1. WHAT THE, and 2. AOYAMA WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU, and then I remembered that 3. Deku’s room is on the 2nd floor so HOW DID HE EVEN GET UP THERE

but then I went back to look at the dorm layout and remembered that Aoyama’s room is right next door, so maybe he hopped balconies like some sort of ninja

but then I was like 4. BUT WHY, THOUGH

and meanwhile this entire time I kept looking back at his creepy face and was like WHAT THE FUCK, WHY IS MY SPARKLY LITTLE FRENCHMAN SUDDENLY ACTING SO FUCKING CREEPY --

AND THEN IT HIT ME. that’s not really Aoyama, is it

it’s fucking Toga, isn’t it. it has to be. right?? suddenly acting wildly out of character and bizarrely interested in Deku in the creepiest of fashions? and then sneaking over to stare at Deku through his fucking balcony window in the middle of the night??

and on top of that, for this to happen in the very same chapter where they discussed the same thing happening to Camie? yeah. yeah, okay, manga. I got it. message fucking received

so this means that Aoyama has been captured by the League?? or is Toga acting independently? holy shit

do you hear that. that’s the sound of me being sucked RIGHT BACK IN lol. ahhhh man. feels fucking good. let’s read some more of this bitch

(ETA: lmao, there’s a part of me that honestly wishes this theory hadn’t been blown to bits in the very next chapter. for a minute there it was such a damn rush. but no, Aoyama just loves Deku and wanted to present him with some friendship cheese, and also maybe give him a friendship heart attack.)

BONUS:

nice try son, but nope

oh look, it’s Iida’s brother who’s currently paralyzed from the waist down. standing back to back with his lil bro in costume, in a way that they’ll actually never be able to do ever again. that’s just cruel, Vigilantes writer guy

not sure what’s been up with the volume extras lately. I’m really surprised we didn’t get a profile of Camie after the babysitting arc. we got one of the damn elementary school teacher, but not her, even after her quirk was revealed? did Horikoshi just forget, or did he run out of time, or is he saving it for later, or what

anyways, this is also the last batch of volume omakes that FA scanlated. so after this it’s going to be a lot harder for me to find them. I know that some of the extras from the upcoming volumes have been translated, but I might not always have time to try and track them down. so moving forward we might not have as many bonus pages, but I will still try and include them whenever I can

My Hero Academia, season 2 - Episode 19

So all that E3 hype is starting to build up. Are you excited? I’m getting excited. Anyways, it’s My Hero Academia, episode 19! Here we GO!

-Opening!

-PREVIOUSLY ON My Hero Academia, Deku’s team managed to crawl their way into fourth place through backing each other up.

-Episode 19: The Boy Born with Everything

-And PRESENTLY ON My Hero Academia, it’s the lunch break and Shoto’s pulled Deku aside. Deku’s instincts are screaming at him to get out of this situation, but Shoto’s, just, standing there, staring him down…

-Then he finally talks. Mentions how Deku forced him to actually use fire. Something instinctive, from seeing All Might’s raw power, feeling how it’s a near-impossible challenge…And then seeing that same kind of power in Deku’s tiny frame…Deku, are you…

-Some secret child of All Might?

-Dead silence.

-You could hear a pin drop.

-I mean, at the same time, just going off of the data Shoto has, it does sound like a not entirely unreasonable possibility. Someone like All Might, who’s a big symbol, would have reason to keep a relationship secret, especially one that led to a child. Deku just kind of pops up out of nowhere with zero history of displaying a Quirk, shows a barely-controlled super strength, gets in on rescue points alone, and immediately has All Might’s attention. Take that data together, and “secret son who had to keep his power under wraps and never got to learn how to properly use it” sounds very reasonable.

-I mean, it’s utter bullshit, but I can see the path from A to B. Anyways Deku denies it outright and Shoto puts together that there’s something else Deku can’t talk about. So instead, he reveals his thing: Son of Endeavor the second-ranked hero, gotta be the best like no one ever was, to beat All Might is his real test, to take down Deku is his cause, you know the beats to this one.

-Meanwhile All Might’s inviting Endeavor to tea. Important bits to pull from this: They haven’t interacted in 10 years. Endeavor actively refuses to have tea and clearly fucking hates All Might. And his son is a thing he made to beat All Might. …Which s super fucked up.

-Back with the kids. Yeah Shoto describes his father as getting up the ranks through sheer overwhelming force, beating criminals the fuck up and cranking numbers. Losing in the rankings to a guy who mostly got there through symbolic efforts, thus, pisses him off to no end, which is why Shoto was made. An arranged marriage based on Quirks alone. A loveless marriage. A son born of obligation, raised as a tool.

-Shoto’s cold fury, ferocious will, utter refusal to use his fire? They all come from one thing. A raw, brutal need to step out of that shadow…Every memory he has of his mother, she’s in tears. Right up until the point where she gave him that burn, when she poured boiling water onto his face.

-That’s why, no fire. That’s why he picked a fight with Deku. Why he intends to rise to the top. To take everything his father wanted, and do it without using a single thing that piece of shit ‘gave’ him, to make damn sure he doesn’t get a single iota of pride from it!

-And the whole thing is being heard by Katsuki, by the way.

-Deku’s retrospective narration. All of this, it’s the first time he ever really heard of a world like that. The twisted, broken nature of the upper echelons. For him, a boy born to minor-Quirk parents who found each other out of love alone and whose only glory and pride is in the idea of having a loving family with a happy son, it was…A shock. A brutal one. A terrifying one.

-But back into the moment. Shoto’s done. He’s going to win, and he’s going to do it with ice alone. That’s all you need to know. Deku’s left locked down, no idea what to say…Until he admits, he never got anywhere on his own. He’s always had support. Icons to look up to. Friends to have his back. A family that loves him. Comrades…To finish the mission.

-So…Know this. He’s not here to prove anyone wrong. He’s not here for the prestige or the glory. He’s here for one thing. To give back to all of them. To lift up the world that put him on its shoulders. To be a symbol, capable of protecting everyone. It might sound small. It might sound petty. But losing here, would mean letting every last one of those precious people down. He’s not backing down, Shoto. Not even for a second!

-And yeah, I had to go deep in on that. That was a huge character moment for all involved. Seeing the pieces of Shoto’s fucked up backstory, which we’re going to be talking about later make no mistake, and of course Deku’s spirit starting to really have some fire on it. Up until now, we’ve almost solely seen Deku only rise up when the chips were down, his back to the wall, and heroic instinct overtook anxiety-driven conscious thought. But right here, this is a huge step. This is him not just openly admitting his goals and dreams, but standing by them, against someone who arguably deserve them more…Though that’s its own whole kettle of fish I’m not sure we want to go into.

-The point is, that was a huge moment. And hell, that’s without even looking at Katsuki, who silently listened to the whole thing. What that’s done for him, getting a deeper look into both of these guys against his own superiority complex, I’m quite frankly going to need to wait and see before I can have any thoughts on it, because I can think of at least three major routes that could have for his own development.

-Right, back to the show. Lunch break is over, and anyone who didn’t make it into the finals has various more recreational games they can use to show their stuff and still get some glory. Oh, and we have real American cheerleaders! America has apparently become Hyrule judging by how intensely pointy those noses are.

-…Also the girls of Class A have been shoved into cheerleader outfits. They’re…Really not happy about this. Oh, and this is all because of the perverse tricks of Kaminari and the human trash ball. He used Momo’s dutiful nature against them all…Though invisible girl is still excited. I think she just likes the idea of getting attention.

-Anyways the finals are an old school FIGHTING TOURNAMENT! Classic one-on-one duels! The finals are always a one-on-one, though the exact sport always changes…

-Which is when, out of the top 16, the tail boy suddenly withdraws. Because he’s getting hugely bad vibes. The cavalry battle was a total blank, guys. Something got into his head…And he doesn’t even know what he did in the field…On his own pride, he, he can’t go into the finals, not without even knowing he got there on his own merits…

-One of his teammates, a kid from Class B, withdraws for the same reason. Which leaves Midnight to have to decide whether to accept it or what to do…And not only does she does it, she looks to the fifth place team to try and find a new duo to take their place and keep the ranks full.

-But the fifth place team got there mostly by just being unnoticed. So they make a universal agreement that it should go to Tetsutetsu’s team, the iron guy, because they held in almost to the end before getting knocked to zero. And then it’s the random bracket draw, with all kinds of fun battles promised.

-While Deku…His first fight is against Shinso. The purple-haired guy. The one who had the withdrawn pair on his team…And tail-guy immediately pulls Deku away from the guy. Whatever you do, don’t talk to him, don’t engage with him. Just, fight, and finish it fast.

-But before the actual tournament, we’ve got the recreational games! It’s classic stuff like scavenger hunts. giant ball rolls, all kinds of classic stuff. Everyone in the actual tournament does different stuff to try and focus, relax, or otherwise be ready…

-Until the stage is assembled in the center of the field, and everyone’s got to be ready…When Deku’s waiting in the entryway, and No Might comes up to him. Deku, Deku’s nervous as hell, freaking out, feeling like he can barely control One For All still…Which is why you just say you’re going to give it your all and win! It’s when you’re most nervous that you’ve got to stand the proudest and put on a strong image! That’s how you be a symbol, kid. Now get out there and kick some ass!

-With Recovery Girl on standby, they can go all out…But Shinso immediately stares Deku down, trying to get a response out of Deku…And almost immediately, Deku gets caught up when the guy pisses all over the two who withdrew, and that’s it. Deku’s eyes go blank, as he’s been caught up in Shinso’s power…!

-Credits!

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh
