“Just because you commit a crime doesn’t make you a villain for life!” “Take my hand, Aoyama.” -Izuku Midoriya

“Just because you commit a crime doesn’t make you a villain for life!” “Take my hand, Aoyama.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!”

“TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA”

“THAT’S IT, DEKU!”

Katsuki finally figured it out! Izuku had every right to treat Katsuki like a villain to see him as a villain due to the bullying BUT Izuku did no such thing

Izuku had forgiven Katsuki so long ago and even All Might said it. That Izuku doesn’t see it that way

Izuku had forgiven Katsuki so long ago that Katsuki couldn’t see it. The reason Katsuki acted so shocked and he said “That’s it, Deku!” was because he couldn’t believe that Izuku was a very extremely forgiving person. He couldn’t believe the pure fact that Izuku had forgiving him for all the literal crap he put Izuku in from both words and actions

So it’s no guess for Katsuki to react the way he did. Katsuki is looking directly at Izuku’s hand. The same hand that reached out for Katsuki

“That’s it, Deku!”

Every time someone headcanons Dabi as a horrible, abusive playboy & sadist a piece of me dies, a rant;

He's the most painfully neurodivergent virgin you could ever lay your eyes upon rivallubg shigaraki, bro is too hyperfixated on killing his dad to care about getting laid, would NOT have several baby mamas he does NAWTTT get play

I see the vibe, I do, but he's more sad reculse emo boy than sexed up spooky man. And I get he's said misogynistic shit in canon but I think he'd come to be not completely awful because it's clearly because of his dad's influence?

Obviously he wouldn't be the world's most attentive partner, you'd probably be getting ghosted several times a week by the recluse but I don't think he'd go beating on his partner or whatever even if he's emotionally lacking

Sorry this is all jumbled, just been bugging me lately

[eu0n1a]

in my world, izuku isn't sane.

he never gets therapy, "i don't need it" or "i don't have time to," that's always his excuse. too focused on work and after work he's too tired. barely any time to breathe until he's with you.

it's affected your relationship too. started with convincing you not to work, he makes enough. no going out, he'll simply get someone to do your errands. don't visit family, they're too far away. don't visit friends. just stay home where you're safe and cozy from the disgusting, perverted outside world. God knows how he'd act if he lost you too.

he knows there's something wrong, but he can't focus on that right now. has to keep fighting, fighting for you, fighting for the world. he's the government's toy, a killing machine. machine's don't need to relax, don't need therapy, don't think of who they have to hurt to get to their goal.

by his 30s, he's so used to death around him. shuts down emotions for the sake of not letting the realization hit. especially during cases where he has to end villains. heavy morally grey character, compared to where he started.

works not just to help others, but to keep himself busy. give him more cases or he'll just reread and review old ones, closed or not. don't let it get quiet for a mere second. but he can't escape those thoughts manifesting themselves in his dreams. innocent people and comrades he couldn't save. recognizing he isn't as good and perfect as the media makes him out to be.

If i see one more person comparing about Bakugo being No.15 in the hero charts IMMA SCREAMM. All i see r people being like that’s so OOC of him…??? like did we read and watch the same anime/manga. Bakugo only cares about rankings and competition if DEKU WAS IN THE EQUATION. Bc they both pushed eachother to be better heroes during their first year at UA. The people saying it’s OOC of bkg to not be top 10 r delusional and have mischaracterized him also when he got IN THE CHARTS THE FIRST TIME HE WAS No.4, BUT his HOT HEADED AND BRASH attitude got him down to No.15

This is one of my MANY RANTS about people shitting on the MHA epilogue.

Good fucking night.

-Written by someone who has LOVED BAKUGO SINCE EP.1 since i was like 15

[v0id-clawz]

I dispise Bakugo Katsuki.

He sucks. I genuinely do not care if he "changed", he is a down right abusive person. The ONLY reason Izuku didn't k1ll himself is because it would get Bakugo in trouble. Izuku has done nothing, literally nothing to Bakugo, and yet he continues to both physically and mentally abuse Izuku. Izuku is permanently scarred because Bakugo can't get it through his thick skull that that Izuku isn't this worthless trash that he imagined him to be. I genuinely can't understand why any one would ship Izuku with his abuser. It is shown from episode one that Bakugo does not care for Izukus life or well-being. I hate him. I hate that no one cares about what Bakugo put Izuku through. I hate that no one cares.

Tldr, Bakugo is a pathetic, abusive man.

[mimez-meme]

Brief explanation of present mics character:

He is often portrayed as this loud silly character, who has a standing out personality, cares for others ect. However, he knows when to be serious, and is also very intelligent.

How to get him angry: hurt his loved ones(aizawa) Mic really cares for aizawa, whether that care is healthy or unhealthy. He would do anything for him, die for him, kill for him. He stays with aizawa even with aizawas efforts to push him away. Now this is a trauma response to him loosing oboro, he’s became overprotective of aizawa, he’s seen aizawa overwork himself and get hurt and he’s scared. So he makes sure to look after him when he can, he doesn’t think aizawa is weak oh no, he knows he capable of looking after himself/fighting but he also knows he can get into danger. Ever since Oboros death he’s made it his job to become aizawa’s protecter, to be the strong one in their friendship. In doing so he’s bottled up all his emotions for years.. aizawa is the way present mic copes I suppose, as he understands aizawas emotions but not his own, he would be a mess without aizawa no doubt. He needs him to keep himself stable in a way. Aizawa is his way of distracting himself from his own grief.

Later on in the series in s5-s7 we see this side of mic that we have never seen before, angry, upset, confused. However this isn’t present mic, this is hizashi yamada. His ‘true self’ hizashi yamada is I suppose all his emotions in one as a person. But he doesn’t allow himself to feel these emotions, he doesn’t want to feel these emotions. He doesn’t know how to deal or cope with them. His idea of coping and dealing with them is to distract himself by throwing himself into work, drinking, going out ect ect. He doesn’t want to be seen as weak, he doesn’t like being vulnerable infront of people especially aizawa cuz as mentioned before, he thinks he’s got to be the strong one. Hizashi doesn’t allow himself to grief, since he’s so focused on aizawa, not being weak ect. Proof of this could be in chapter 422 when he says “I’m a man! Men don’t cry!” Or something like that. However he doesn’t think MEN can’t cry he thinks HE can’t cry, as it’s shown that he attempts to comfort aizawa when he’s down or crying, and he’s a man. He punches the doctor for making aizawa cry. He wouldn’t do all that if he thought MEN couldn’t cry.

Present mic also has the black and white mind set, believing good is good, bad is bad. No in between. He shows no empathy, no remorse towards villains. And the main points this is shown is when he wanted to kill kurogiri despite him being his best friend, when he wanted to beat up the press for trespassing and when he didn’t trust Aoyama or show no empathy towards Aoyama when he was revealed to be the traitor despite his reasonings. He of course has Vaild points and reasons to why he acted this way in all those situations but I will not be getting into that, but they all came from a general care and concern for those around him. This black and white mindset is believed to be another trauma response.

Okayyy that’s it!! Thanks for reading, of course that isn’t everything, I could write so much about present mic but this is just suppose to be a brief character explanation. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense or if there’s any spelling mistakes.

I feel like the way *some* people handle Endeavor’s atonement arc by saying it never should’ve happened really annoying and so unsympathetic to victims who still have their abusers in their lives when it comes to parent child dynamics

It’s more common than you think that a child will forgive (key word: forgive, not forget) their parents for wrong doing. The important part is that the child HAS that choice which is why I find Endeavor’s ‘atonement’ arc really impactful.

Now, there is Dabi who yes would benefit from him being dead so there IS an argument to be made there, but remember there are 3 other siblings who wouldn’t, in fact it would probably only work to their detriment

‘But what about Natsuo’ yes, including Natsuo.

By Endeavor being alive and trying to work on himself and his relationship with his family, the most important part about what he does is not forcing it. He doesn’t force any of his kids to talk to him, he doesn’t force forgiveness, he allows them to choose whatever they feel is right. Natsuo, for his own healing, chooses to go no contact which guess what? That’s PERFECTLY valid. If he had died before Natsuo had that ability to make that choice for himself all it would have done is left Natsuo with a tangle of emotions, that he may of been able to solve but it still would’ve been far more difficult than him being able to make the choice for himself. I say this as someone whose father, who in many ways was very similar to Endeavor, died *before* I had that chance to make the choice myself.

Then there’s Fuyumu. I noticed all the siblings take on a sort of role within their family that is often present within dysfunctional family dynamic, Fuyumi especially. Some people say her wanting to make everything okay, her jumping at the thought of Endeavor attempting to make things right is poor writing but honestly… I have to disagree. She has been put under so much stress, taking on the role that is often referred to as a care taker, clearly often times trying to mediate conflict within the family. It’s certainly not healthy, but taking that stress away not through death will give her the chance to really cope with her OWN feelings on how SHE was treated, not being so focused on how everyone else would grapple with the grief of Endeavor dying, because like it or not? They would all experience grief in some way

And then we have Shoto who’s somewhat in the middle here. He was Endeavor’s ‘fixation’ so to speak, the “golden child” (not to say that he was treated very golden but still). We know about his complicated feelings about his father as well, he’s only like… what 15? 16? At that age he’s hardly pressed to be able to feel with the complicated emotions that come with grieving a parent who was never all that good to you, I know this because I myself was 14 when my father died and man I was a MESS. He would be okay eventually, yes, but with everything he has on his plate you want to ADD ON his father’s death? He does want to forgive his father, and he does want to move on, the IMPORTANT PART, and I cannot stress this enough, is that they are given the CHOICE.

Often times, people treat those who have chosen to forgive their abusers for one reason or another like crap. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to not forgive an abuser, or choosing to not want to speak with them ever again, for example: Natsuo, but there’s also nothing wrong with wanting to forgive and wanting to move past, what’s important is that you chose what is healthiest for you.

[tenkos-heart]

many people have said this better than me but like.

getting rid all of the people who criticized your society and just have said society to go back how it was before minus ochako trying to pave way for mental health is not a good message to send!!! or the fact that a lot of you care more about wither or not your ship is canon then the fascist, bootlicking ending says a lot about you, too!!! -proship/compship dni-

[bibibbon]

Am I the only one who thinks that Izuku's admiration for Bakugou reminds me of Stockholm Syndrome? It's not normal for someone to have admiration for someone who did so much harm to them. What's your opinion?

I wouldn't label it Stockholm syndrome, but it's definitely a toxic dynamic between bakugo and izuku

Nope, anon, you aren't the only one. A lot of people can be found with a similar opinion if you check the anti bakugo tag or any variation of that tag.

I and many other people have talked about the toxicity of bakugo and izuku's relationship, and I recommend reading @sapphic-agent analysis on those two.

I have said this before in a previous post, but I am pretty certain that izuku after the bakugo vs izuku fight part 2 was supposed to finally ditch bakugo and abandon those feelings of pure admiration and start focusing on himself and healing. Izuku's vision of the perfect bakugo was supposed to break away the minute he entered UA and saw class 1A members like asui criticising bakugo for his horrible personality. However, that doesn't happen, and I think that's because hori changed his mind while writing the manga, which ultimately done more harm than good, as we can tell.

In the end, in a shallow way to try and address izuku's issues of self worth and mental burden caused by bakugo and societal treatment we get the supposed redeemed abuser (who really didn't do much in redeeming himself if iam being honest) telling izuku that he needs to start prioritising himself and to stop giving everyone special treatment. I suppose you can interpret izuku not wanting to work with bakugo as a small win, but that's literally it, in my opinion. I also think that it's a bit funny that SOME people were a bit mad at izuku declining the offer which shows just how much horikoshi has shoehorned bakugo into the plot to make him and izuku stick to one another that the thought of them not working together is unfathomable.

If I am being honest, do we really see izuku give special treatment to people?!?! Or is that supposed special treatment literally just Izuku being a decent human being who is doing his job from the heart and actually wanting to help people?

Apologies this got a bit ranty in the end!

[dabiscrustytoe]

I love Hizashi ( Present Mic) so much, he's one of the many loud blonds I love

But OMG he needs to learn to take care of himself

Spoilers if you're not too far in the show or manga

The way he cares more about Shota than he does about himself is just ... Shota is literally his entire coping mechanism since the incident with Oboro but after that Shoat became a lot more closed off and avoidant of anything social. Hizashi doesn't even let himself grieve at times because he's more worried about how Shota is doing.

Shota needs to pay more attention to Hizashi and stop shutting him down because Hizashi, if he has the chance will definitely become incredibly soft and loving. Instead of Shota opening up to him and Hizashi opening up to Shota, this dumbass vampire caterpillar has to keep being an emotionally closed off jerk to this poor banana haired bean

Read between the lines of this and tell me this isn't Shota being closed off and refusing to get close to Hizashi.

And that brings me to another thing I'm pretty sure Shota doesn't want to get close to Hizashi or others, or even care about others because he doesn't want to get hurt again like he did with Oboro.

These too need to open up to each other about this crap and work through it cause if they do they would be the strongest god damn power couple in the world

If you made it all the way through my rant about this congratulations 👏🎉

Have a low quality Bakugo.

[flanorii]

honestly my favorite part about the whole endeavor “atonement” arc is that we as the audience KNOW that there’s nothing he can do to properly atone for the things he’s done to his family.

the scars from endeavor’s abuse will forever be ingrained in the todorokis, no matter how hard they try to move on from it (and not everyone wants to move on, either). we’re constantly hit with reminders of endeavor’s actions throughout the story- heck, even right in the middle of his whole “atonement” arc, we get another flashback that goes more in depth on the abuse and neglect that the family has suffered because of him. we even get more details on how his marriage with rei began, along with the buildup that lead to rei’s horrible mental state. it’s like although endeavor is trying to correct himself, the show doesn’t want us to forget about the things he has done, and i can appreciate that. i’m sure even endeavor is aware that no matter how hard he tries, there’s not much he can do to fix the past.

him trying to correct himself after becoming the number one hero is kind of the point, because there’s nothing else left to distract him from the weight of his actions. there is no more all might for him to chase, and there’s really no point in trying to become the next symbol of peace because of the impossibly high standards that were left behind in all might’s place. now all endeavor can do is look back and see all the damage that he’s caused, all in exchange for some dream that he will never be able to fulfill.

its ironic, really. he’s been trying for decades to match all might’s power, but is left powerless when it comes to mending his relationship with his family. the past can never go away, and all he can really do is make sure it doesn’t happen again.

[katsuizu-stuff]

GUYS! bones changed the positions of the characters in this panel / scene

Just look at the difference

Original panel

We got Todoroki looking at Izuku

We got Tsu looking at Izuku’s side

Kiri facing/looking at Katsuki

And we got a pretty far distance from Katsuki and Izuku

Bones scene

We get the DekuSquad talking together as a group

We get Todoroki facing away from Izuku. As well as him looking down at his hand and facing/positioned towards Iida, Uraraka and Asui

We get Tsu looking up at Todoroki

We still get Kirishima in the same place and facing/looking at Katsuki like the original panel

And the space between Izuku and Katsuki isn’t far away. In fact they are positioned closer than the original panel

THEY CHANGED IT! Bones actually changed the original panel!

[kantsuuuuuuudon]

keep thinking about how much tragedy with the todoroki family could have been avoided if endeavor actually gave touya a chance to thrive. i mean, with him being filthy rich and with how advanced the tech industry is in the mha universe, surely there were bound to be support items for touya(or he could very well commission someone to make custon ones) if he was able to afford basically buying rei, the only thing he had to do is seek it out. but no - he didn't even try to search for any alternative solutions and just cast his son aside like he was just some bad rough draft without even considering that his approval was literally a lifeline for touya. atonement? tough shit.

[strawberijasper]

I think something I really like about bnha is that I don't celebrate when the villains are defeated.

Horikoshi, for all the valid criticisms there are to be made, does a really good job at humanizing his villains and making you care about them. The story is no longer black and white, good vs evil. There's complexity, nuance with both the heroes and villains. The heroes fuck up and do bad things, the villains are sympathetic and rather than wanting to see good triumph over evil, you want to see the heroes save them.

Of course he has villains that you absolutely want to be defeated, All For One, Overhaul, and Muscular for example. But even with those villains (aside from maybe Muscular but we also don't get much time with him) feel human, they're not just these mustache twirling villains, they have more to them.

But with the league, they feel like a family. Like a true found family. They're all hurting from their own past traumas, they've all made bad choices (or were groomed into it- looks at Shiggy), but that doesn't take away from the bond they share. You feel for them when they get hurt, you cry and mourn when they die. Bnha makes you look critically not just at the villains, but at the circumstances that lead them to this.

I got to the point where I was genuinely rooting for the league, not that I wanted them to win since winning meant All For One would win and that I can't get behind. But I was rooting for them to be saved, to make the choice to allow the heroes to help them. I want the league to make people look at the society they live in and the discrimination they perpetuate and think that maybe it's time things change.

And we do get hints at that in the timeskip, Uraraka being a quirk activist making a world where Toga could have thrived, the world she deserved. Genuinely I think that's beautiful. Deku also does something similar, inspiring kids with strange quirks and likely other quirkless kids because it's what he wanted as a kid. But I like to think that a lot of the former class A kids went on to do things similar.

I know a lot of this is just kind of obvious, bnha isn't unique in how it handles it's villains, but I just needed to talk about it because it's something that I love about the series among many other things.

I wish we could have gotten to see the league happy, and knowing that a lot of them will never get that makes me genuinely sad. But that's what fanfiction and AUs are for I guess!
