i hear you and I agree with everything you’re saying and I also miss izuku’s thoughts about kacchan but also izuku also looks at kacchan like this

It's horrible to be utterly convinced that Katsuki is in love with Izuku without really being able to say definitively that Izuku is in love with Katsuki...aghh there's so much to say about certain hints and very overt things for Mr. "Kacchan Bakugou" but I feel like I haven't seen...or more accurately heard how Izuku feels. I know he loves him but Is he in love with him? Can I say that without thinking I could be wrong? No I don't think I can...but damnit! The parallels to other straight and gay couples in media is so interesting like the Berserk ref in cover 37...or the pretty constant references to taro cards...Izuku the devil in between togachako's lovers ((WHAT DOES THAT MEAN SERIOUSLY)), the three of swords in the blackwhip explosion...the "WAH--CCHAN!!" ref to a romance trope as well as to Blue Flag...the "share a crepe with" line also potentially Blue Flag..."TROY" and the battle being referenced OUT THE WAZOO with Achilles and Patroclus playing out almost exactly as the Illid described ((Literally THE most famous couple of gaybos in all historical literature--they are well known for being speculative lovers! It's mentioned in English classes when you read it))...Katsuki's parents...Katsuki's parents...the way other manga like "name I can't remember..." where they would reference MHA outright with the girl falling down and then refusing to take the male lead's hand to get up. It feels like so much but also nothing at all because all of it (( no matter how overt)) is STILL being read into from subtext. idk I think I just needed to vent.

#OK BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW IZUKUS THOUGHTS ON KACCHAN JUST GO MISSING #he spends like so much of the series obsessed with him #kacchan and everyone else copying kacchan what would kacchan do #kacchan non fucking stop #and then it does???#I think the last time I remember him thinking about kacchan is when he’s saying he’s blessed???#we KNOW he’s thinking something when he sees kacchan die next to that all might card he’s THINKING SOMETHING WHAT IS IT LET ME IN #WHY IS IT BEING HIDDEN #two wolves live inside me one is like it’s shonen #it’s normal for the boys to have a deeper bond than the endgame romance #the other wolf is like THERES NO FUCKING WAY HORI DOESNT KNOW #AFTER TEN YEARS OF DOING A SUPER HERO MANGA #that having the villain go after the love interest is ?? THE romantic super hero trope??#it’s like the plot of every Spider-Man movie ever #it’s the whole reason Lois lane can’t know Clark Kent is super man #and that plot beat is given to KACCHAN??#WHEN HE ALREADY HAD AN ALMOST DEATH SCARE #ITS SO REPETITIVE #ITS SO PUROPOSEFUL #but it’s also shonen hahahah idk idk idk #ok sorry I went off on your post I think I also needed to vent #my conclusion is we already won bc the two biggest romantic super hero tropes are just given to bakudeku #Shigaraki even goes so far to be like YOU LOVE HIM DONT YOU #and HE CARES ABOUT YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE #like like ajbdkejdd #he has that quirk from rag doll that lets him know peoples weaknesses #and even if he didn’t no sane author is gonna have that happen and have it not be true #like if there was a better character to kill off to send izuku into a rage in the darkest hour climax of the story #hori would have chosen that character instead #i’M STILL TALKING I’LL SHUT UP
