#childhood friends tddk

[lerrryyyyy]

Inspired by these childhood friends tddk headcanons where Shouto was smaller than Izuku, but grows much taller than him later on 😂

tiny shouto: *hides behind baby izuku, shyly peeking over his shoulder*

no-longer-tiny shouto: *looming presence behind izuku, staring intimidatingly over his hair*

I thought I swore off my hero academia years ago but here I am reading Yesterday Upon the Stair. Not particularly interesting (not a fan of Fanon Deku) and hard to read (cringy) at some points, but I was curious about what people were raving about. Maybe it’ll get better in the next 50 chapters. Just gotta hold out and maybe I’ll find a great fic. 4/10 so far.

[writer-rider-flirty-thirties]

Villain/Vigilante!Izuku fics have spoiled me when it comes to vengeance, lol. Every time an anime protagonist is wronged by their family or 'childhood friend' my immediate thought/reaction is "kill/psychologically torture them for their wrongs".

But I'm balancing it out with a bunch of fluffy/smut Tddk fics. Maybe it'll straighten me out again 😂

[silverynight]

okay so i am a HUGE stan for tddk (bkdks great too i love them) and i keep imagining if they were childhood friends instead of bkg and deku

like bkg and deku still knew eachother when they were younger, but shoto and izuku are MUCH closer and when they get to ua everyone can see this

bakugos lowkey jealous, though hed never admit it, and he gets so pissed off whenever todoroki is hanging around mido and tdrk absolutely REVELS in this

They're the type of friends that are very physically affectionate towards each other; Izuku because he likes to be like that with his best friends and Shoto due to the fact that Izuku was his only friend (Endeavor couldn't control him during school hours) and also because he's deeply in love with Izuku.

So everyone watches with a little bit of jealousy as Izuku casually puts his legs over Shoto's lap (everyone loves Midoriya's thighs) whenever they're sitting together. Shoto is also the only one allowed to put his hand on Izuku's hips and call him by his first name.

Katsuki is not only envious, he's agonizing with deep, burning jealousy that sometimes has him storming out of the common room and go to his room to brood.

Only his friends know what's good on and Shoto too because he's not blind and recognizes a romantic rival when he sees one (he's had a couple over the years he's known Izuku because honestly, Izuku is too pretty for his own good) but fortunately for him, Izuku is completely oblivious to it.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Founder

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Founder by Namelezz

After a quirk mishap, Izuku finds himself at UA. He remembers dreaming of being there, among other aspiring heroes while surrounded by established ones. But that dream is a past one, one he wishes not to experience. But here he is anyway, because life loves to mess with him.

With his future and life on the line, and his situation less than ideal, he has to push through like he always does.

But maybe having Shouto by his side can make everything more bearable.

[catboymoments]

bkdk is “we’re both trans and it’s so complicated because we have so many issues stemming from being childhood friends let’s crash and burn” yknow

Izuocha is “YIPPEE MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND!!!” and it’s really sweet and cute but it’s just premature and the big feelings aren’t there

Tddk is “I’ve always liked you but it was right place wrong time” and they get together as adults when they reconnect in the future. You understand me

I think since I got older and I got Perspective on being a teenager and relationships and stuff my perspectives on the ua kid ships have changed a bit too….

[eri-cheri]

Now that we have reached the last chapter of the year. It is time to do a 2020 roll call of what I like to call, “State of the Shippers”:

1. IzuOcha. Status: Placated.

-IzuOcha’s could celebrate several cute tidbits throughout the year. Mini moments as they say.

Anime Highlights: The OVA’s came in clutch with moments for shippers all around and IzuOcha is no exception. We got a cute tidbit where Izuku and Ochako bumped into each other and were flustered.

Manga Highlights: Christmas kept on giving to this fandom as the AM doll Izuku gave Ochako made many appearances. A cute fist bump between the two was also exchanged and Mina was right there bouncing with y’all.

Heroes Rising: Izuku super man carried Ochako to safety. And was Angy she was injured. Fans could enjoy the small Lois Lane moment.

Troubling Signs?: Ochako said “I would like to be excluded from this narrative” when it comes to her feelings for Deku. She’s a hero damnit! So if they are in for something, probably won’t be while they are still in school.

II. DabiHawks. Status: Yikes.

- Dabi and Hawk’s very public breakup set this fandom in disarray but also kind of disayay?

Anime Highlights: None yet. This fandom was cruelly cock blocked by Bones. Sorry DabiHawks stans.

Manga Highlights: Where to begin, my goodness. With these fans, I guess the good and the bad is a plus in this homoerotic double agent relationship. We have the notion that Dabi may have known Hawks when they were kids, which may be a positive? Hori sure loves his childhood friends. Other than that. The GIRLS WERE FIGHTIN’. Hawks is now permanently scarred by Dabi and I don’t think it was kinky folks. Tokoyami inserted himself in the middle to White Knight Hawks, Dabi broke up with him via YT expose and overall, shippers could anguish in the absolute MESS that this ship endured this year. But I’m sure that’s part of the appeal. So...yay?

Heroes Rising: They were both in it.

Troubling Signs?: The entire relationship is a troubling sign which again, is part of the appeal. Maybe Hawks will cuddle up with Dabi’s father after the war. That’s troubling! Speaking of...

III. EndHawks. Status: Yearning and Burning.

-If there’s one thing Endeavor couldn’t stop worrying about, it was his hot (in more ways than one) new side piece who probably should have looked at the fine print when signing a contract to be a recurring guest star on “Keeping up with the Todoroki’s”.

Anime Highlights: A fateful meeting finally in high definition for all our eyes to see! Hawks’s unwavering support of his biggest hero was endearing to watch and their shenanigans together spurred the anime onlies to finally jump on the biggest May-December ship in the series.

Manga Highlights: Endeavor’s admiration and concern for Hawks seeped through the pages as we entered our most exciting arc in the manga yet. Fate split these two up yet entwined their downfall together. And that Fate’s name was Dabi...or should I say ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️ or should I just say Touya!

Heroes Rising: “Don’t bite my head off, Endeavor.” Geez, can you flirt a little less loud Hawks?

Troubling Signs?: They say never meet your heroes and Hawks is in for a rude awakening. We shall see just how deep his admiration runs or if Endeavor’s past will split our dynamic duo up for good.

IV: TodoDeku. Status: “Precious”

-Shoto’s “Midoriya is in Danger” radar was highlighted in both manga and anime. 4th User’s quirk, who?

Anime Highlights: “Midoriya hasn’t returned yet.” “Where’s Midoriya?” “Midoriya! Grab my hand!” “Have some of my Soba Midoriya.” Shoto gets it. His emotional support friend is a danger magnet. TodoDeku’s also enjoyed tiny tidbits in the OVA such as a hand grabbing scene. Gotta hold tight to those crumbs.

Manga Highlights: Two Words. “Precious Friend.” Deku comes in w/o arms or legs fighting for Shoto and Shoto’s honor. These two spent the entire year worried sick about each other, and going against all odds to save each other. Precious Friends indeed. TDDK fans ate.

Heroes Rising: Shoto kicks some dog ass and then faints thinking of Deku (and Bakugo but shh. Let the shippers rejoice.) On the bright side, we have a 3rd movie coming featuring “The Three Musketeers” so shippers of TdDk can HOLD TIGHT to what’s to come.

Troubling Signs?: Shoto still doesn’t know about OFA and he’s gonna have LOTS of questions after this arc. Will Deku finally tell him? If not, it could make or break the ship.

V. TodoBaku. Status: “Shining through the city with a little funk and soul.”

-Who knew the greatest comedy duo we needed was Shoto and his hot headed “friend” or not friend? It still remains unclear to Shoto. Regardless, these two had a fun year.

Anime Highlights: “I wanna see your cute face”, disco dancing, and more fun in the provisional license training. Plus the OVA added some cute moments between the two such as Bakugo staying behind to save Todoroki during a dangerous excercise and his adorable plan neatly animated for us. I’d say TodoBaku’s really were resurgent and energized this year!

Manga Highlights: Shoto, that is not how you properly Catch a Kacchan, I’m sorry. But at least you did it you mad lad. As with Deku, Shoto spent the year worried sick about Bakugo. While the anime let us have our fun, these two were suffering in the manga.

Heroes Rising: Again, Shoto put a dog down and then fainted with Bakugo on his mind (and Deku but we ignore that. Shush.) TodoBaku’s have the 3rd movie to look forward to which is bound to have some amazing content!

Troubling Signs?: They have a lot of trauma to deal with. And a lot of Deku to worry about. I also imagine Shoto will be hurt about being left out of the OFA secret. We shall see what 2021 has to offer.

VI. KiriMina. Status: Unbreakable.

-Changing your hairstyle to match the gal who inspired you in middle school? Sorry y’all but if Mina were a guy, I’d say that’s gay af.

Anime Highlights: We got that backstory Bois. Red Riot’s origin might as well make him be called Pink Riot. Again with Hori and the childhood friends though I wouldn’t exactly call them friends. They just went to the same middle school but Kirishima was highly influenced by Mina’s Chivalrous spirit! A ship is born!

Manga Highlights: The influence is mutual! Mina creates a move based on Kirishima’s unbreakable and we all let out a collective “awwww”. Also in the war arc, we got Kirishima making sure Mina’s chivalrous spirit shines through right into Gigantomachia’s mouth! KiriMina may just be the unsung MVP’s of this arc.

Heroes Rising: They were in it.

Troubling Signs?: I can’t think of a single one. KiriMina’s can enjoy a peaceful sailing.

VII: KiriBaku. Status: Crumb Collectors.

-2020 was an uneventful year for KiriBaku but Bones made sure there were crumbs aplenty! Thank God for OVA’s!

Anime Highlights: KiriBaku’s did thrive in one episode! Kirishima reflects on the sludge incident and evolves his quirk based on inspiring words from Bakugo! Hooray! KiriBaku’s can thrive in their blossoming friendship. The OVA also has Kirishima (and Kaminari but shh) once again following Bakugo’s lead when it comes to the training excercise. How can you not? He’s so manly!

Manga Highlights: Not gonna lie. There is nothing much here this year. I did find a teeny tiny flake in Aizawa’s flashback. Kirishima and Bakugo are sitting next to each other. Oh! And at the hot pot gathering, Bakugo sits next to Kirishima! Eat your crumbs KiriBaku’s! There’s always next year!

Heroes Rising: Kirishima hangs with a lazy Bakugo and delivers the most hilarious line in the whole movie. “Silly Bakugo, there won’t be villains here!” Hahah... Silly Bakugo. Oh you~ KiriBaku’s can inhale the fact that those two sure love to hover around each other!

Troubling Signs?: With great crumbs come little responsiblity. No trouble if there’s no content! 🤔

VIII: KamiJirou. Status: Singing their hearts out 🎶

-If there’s any ship that’s coming close to canonization, I think this is it, folks! “Think of the person most important to you!” Can’t argue with Midnight!

Anime Highlights: Kaminari does non stop encouraging of Jirou and her hobbies! He works super hard to learn guitar for her sake! We love a king who can encourage his queen!

Manga Highlights: Kaminari thinks of the most important person to him and surprise! It’s Jirou! All of the feels can commence.

Heroes Rising: They were in it!

Troubling Signs?: Kaminari does love his women. And men. Kaminari overall is a huge flirt. But Jirou appears to have his heart strings. ❤️

IX: BakuDeku. Status: Rising. 👑

-Alternative Statuses include Winning, Thriving, Soaring. It’s just been non stop content this year. 2020 is truly the year for BakuDeku. The shippers can rejoice.

Anime Highlights: Three words. Be. My. Cane. The OVA’s helped fan the flames of the BkDk hearts with a surprise! Deku tops! Not only that, we got a lovely shoulder tap of encouragement in the canon material. While in season 4, Deku’s primary focus was Eri. Bakugo and Deku still had their moments to be hella gay.

Manga Highlights: Where do I even begin? I guess we’ll just cut to the chase with Bakugo Katsuki: Rising. We finally saw Bakugo’s true feelings manifest for Deku and if getting stabbed for him isn’t the ultimate showing of love, then idk what is. BakuDeku’s rounded out the year with the Volume 29 cover AND the volume 29 cover drafts to eat at our heart strings. Overall, their relationship got the spotlight in the manga this year. And we’re bound to start 2021 with a dramatic confrontation. Hand holding seems to be the key with these two and it didn’t stop with Heroes Rising...speaking of.

Heroes Rising: The entire movie. Like....yeah. That’s it. [OP, your bias is showing. You have to be SPECIFIC.] {But random criticizer in my head, if I lay out the entire plot of the movie, my post will be too long} [OP....] UGHHHH Okay okay. The POPSICLE MELTING. THE HAND HOLDING. THE CHARACTER DESIGNS OF WHAT MIGHT AS WELL BE THEIR LOVE CHILDREN. Did I mention? “It’s fine if it’s you?” CAUSE YEAH. Oh and All Might randomly officiating their wedding in their heads like idk. Isn’t it just simpler if I say the whole movie??!

Troubling Signs?: Well these two’s relationship is extremely delicate and while it has non stop soared this year, Deku might not take too kindly to Bakugo almost dying for him. Will they stop pushing each other away? Time will tell.

That’s all for this year folks! Happy Shipping and good luck to everyone next year!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21561199

29k, h/c heavy on hurt. No quirks, adults. Vaguely established bkdk with their group of friends/survivors take in some new refugees. A bit OOC (as is the case with most older fics since we had less info about characters in canon); Katsuki is very stoic and Izuku is very silent (can you imagine him NOT talking at 10000 wpm while camping with Kacchan?). The story is interesting and worth reading though!

Fantasy/Medieval AU

(not childhood friends unless otherwise specified)

Royal Affairs by GuardianMira

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24502177

19k, h/c mostly fluff, knight Katsuki + prince Izuku, The Bachelor (TV) style. Childhood friends. Really good kissing descriptions and a fun premise. CW: Strong one-sided TDDK vibes.

Bramblefaced Thistlelicker by pandajelley

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30622238

77k, h/c mostly fluff, generic rpg fantasy (fairy Izuku + mage Katsuki). Katsuki is on a quest and catches a fairy for luck. This world has strong Avatar: The Last Airbender vibes--the towns, festivals, food stalls, swamp people, northern ice city, etc. Izuku and Katsuki’s relationship development is organic and lovely. CW: there’s some unholy human-sized Katsuki + Tinkerbell-sized Izuku smutty action

A Certain Kind of Magic by eatdirt

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22306228

5k, fluff, generic fantasy (witch Katsuki + regular human Izuku). 2 strangers spending time together in a witchy cottage and falling in love. Katsuki is basically Circe minus the immortality and eternal punishment.

Heart of Fire by Azureflowers

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27827110

2k, fluff, dragonkin Katsuki + human Izuku. Established relationship + childhood friends bkdk. “Izuku and Katsuki are lovers, but due to the hibernating tendencies of Katsuki's kind, they need to spend winters apart. Only on one special occasion every year, Izuku makes the trip to the mountains to see his future husband…” I love the setting and the boys are SO soft.

Hogwarts AU

Lions in Our Hearts by yabakuboi

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14600982

33k, h/c mostly fluff. (My favourite Hogwarts AU fic!) Katsuki is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, to his utter dismay. This is their story from childhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers at Hogwarts. Really great relationship development and so many good fluffy scenes. I love that the narrative doesn’t make Katsuki into some perfect being who’s given everything he wants--he goes through the same humbling stumbles like canon-Katsuki and becomes the softie we all know and love.

Amor Ex Oculis by s_the_queen

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34034284

19k, h/c mostly fluff. “Izuku accidentally takes a love potion, and everyone [except Katsuki] starts acting weird.” SUPER SOFT Katsuki and nerdy Izuku! CW: if you love Ochako, she gets done real dirty in this fic.

[mysterylover123]

The case for TodoMomo and BakuDeku

Like I've said in other posts, I think there are supporting pairings that have interesting parallels to BKDK. And I've already highlighted the BKDK/TDMM parallels in another post before : https://mysterylover123.tumblr.com/post/613613080003411968/can-i-do-this

But I wanted to go into a little more detail about what these two ships/character pairings have in common. On the surface they probably don't look that similar, but I think there's a fascinating thread between them.

So here goes:

1. The Same Starting Line

The appeal to me of both BKDK and TDMM is that they are Narrative Foils. Both duos have the same starting line. Bakugou and Midoriya both looked up to All Might and want to surpass him. Todoroki and Momo were both admitted on recommendations.

2. Similar backgrounds

And that's not all. Bakugou and Midoriya shared their childhood, so they come from similar environments. So do Todoroki and Momo; though they didn't grow up together, they're both sheltered rich kids who seem to have had little experience with the social world (the Enicchi festival gives some hints as to their sheltered childhoods).

Both duos sit together n class, so we have plenty of opportunities to observe how their different reactions to classroom events contrast each other:

Then we come to the Battle Trial arc:

3. 2 Serious, Humble Admiring Boys

By Season 1, Shoto and Deku have come to admire and respect Momo and Kacchan. Shoto voted for Momo as Class Rep (Probably inspired by the bit pictured above); since Shoto and Momo are both quieter and more socially awkard than our screamy, shouty emotional lead duo, their interactions are more subtextual, less verbal and confrontational. But the same principle applies. Deku and Shoto parallel each other here because they had tragic childhoods - both of their mothers (They believe) gave up on them, they had few friends or followers, and as such both are fairly serious and somewhat more dour and pessimistic. As illustrated here:

Momo and Bakugou credit Shoto and Deku with more competence than Shoto and Deku believe they have (and vice versa). Bakugou is always convinced Deku is planning something and surpassing him. Momo respects Todoroki as “the most capable student in class” (chapter 99.) 

4. Two Proud, Insecure Gifted Kids:

Because of this, Momo and Bakugou expect Shoto and Deku to do their best, and reprimand them when they don’t:

Momo and Bakugou both begin at UA as rather egotistical and arrogant, looking down on everyone. A series of failures leads to them both developing an inferiority complex because of the way they compare themselves to their boys. 

I pointed this out in my earlier post. Momo and Katsuki confide only in Shoto and Deku just how insecure they’ve become, after failing in the eyes of the public (Momo at the Sports Festival, Bakugou at the same and in his kidnapping because of his angry showing there), and both had disappointing internships (where they both got fancy haircuts, no less!)

5. Outcome: DVK2 & Yaoyorozu Rising:

This is the cue for Shoto and Deku to tell them just how much they admire them.

Two of the sweetest expressions of admiration we’ve heard in all of MHA. And in the aftermath of those confessions, Momo and Bakugou express their character development in similar words:

By the time of the License Exam Arc, Momo and Kacchan are comfortable in acknowledging the capability of their boys:

Oh, and: Prepare to have your heart ripped out again:

Yaoyorozu Rising (Chapter 63):

Ends with Momo saving Todoroki

What is the only other chapter with “Rising” in the title?

Bakugou Katsuki rising. Which ends with Bakugou saving Deku.

6. Intuitive Understanding Ni boys:

Deku and Shoto also show more understanding of Kacchan and Momo than anyone else:

7. The Two of You Can Become The Greatest Heroes:

Both duos are fantastic hero teams:

They’re both teamed up to fight a teacher in the Final Exams are specifically, and we get Deku and Shoto getting kinda handsy while being protective:

Once they’ve cleared away their baggage, they become the best hero teams. 

Because:

(yes that got re-translated. But I think we can agree that Bakugou does trust Deku? Like Momo trusts Shoto? This just illustrates it)

8. Worrying About Two Serious Boys

We also have Bakugou and Momo worrying from the sofa about their boys in Season 4:

And during the TDDK fight in the Sports Festival:

The roles are a little switched post LE arc, since Kacchan and Shoto flunked the exam, but Momo and Deku are both there to worry about them afterwards:

9. More Parallels:

They watch the fall of the symbol of peace, side by side:

 10. Joint Training Arc:

And in the Joint Training arc, Shoto and Deku get to fanboy over them pretty unashamedly:

11. “What would X do?”

Momo and Deku also, thanks to the anime, get to wonder what their boys would do:

12. And Now:

Momo and Kacchan worrying about their boys Post PLF arc:

So in sum, BKDK and TDMM are both pairings based around foils who admire each other but don’t know how to feel about that admiration; who care for each other though they struggle with expressing it; and who make the best fighting duos when they work together. Basically all the best OTP ingredients, and the two pairs par-allel each other, so far, from beginning to end, in obvious and subtle ways. I personally think some of those parallels are too powerful to be accidental (especially the whole ‘RISING’ thing. No way the only two chapters called “Rising” were a coincidence.) The two duos fill each other out perfectly and parallel very neatly. What this is building to it’s hard to say, but a payoff, I think, is needed.

Oh and here’s the rising thing once more for good measure: Volume 8 and 29.

[broccoliboix5peepeeman]

Bnha writing requests up for grabs!

So, a few months ago, I did a poll asking if people wanted me to post the requests that I can't do, so that others have the option of writing them, if they want. No one voted against the idea, so here we are!

Prompts:

If you sent any of these requests, please know that these ideas are so amazing honestly! I just, for whatever reason specific to each ask, am not able to write them to the best of my ability.

If anyone wants to write any of these requests into existence, please do and be sure to tag me if you decide to post your work, so I can promote it! ^^

Prompts written out under Read More

Req 1: “A few seconds of hesitation nearly cost Shōto Izuku's life.“

Req 2: “Izuku learns the hard way that sometimes the best intentions can leave the deepest wounds.”

Req 3, contains manga spoilers: “I'm neutral about Bakugou, but I have interest of see a alternative scene where Midoriya doesn't accept Bakugou apologize. Can you write this scene? If not, it's fine. “

Req 4: “Hi, how are you? As writing request, could you write Tddk as both boxers, like a boxing AU? The plot Todoroki is a cold heart fighter that is very popular in boxing world and training for Endeavor since the childhood. Midoriya is a rising fighter in the ranking, training for All Might. The first time that both meet is in a party, but none of them suspected that both going to fight next week. Sorry if my English isn't good.”

Req 5: “Somehow a ghost gets attached to Izuku and starts kind of awkwardly parenting him. The ghost cooks and occasionally ruffles his hair and seems delighted at Shouto’s hair and on rare occasions ruffles that too. Eventually everyone in the class has encountered the ghost at some point. They don’t know who she is but she takes care of them. And at some point Izuku finds out the ghost is a relative of his who died when she was a teenager but was a Mom type friend while she was alive and that’s why she’s been so nice to him and Shouto.”

Req 6: “Izuku is an idealistic, optimistic dreamer at heart who lives in a blissful & magical fantasy world. But then he finds himself banished to real-life Japan where he meets Shōto, a successful businessman/lawyer with a cynical, dim & jaded view of life due to negative experiences in his past. Can Izuku survive in the cold, cruel, dark & harsh reality while retaining his innocence & optimism? Or would his arrival bring happiness, joy, light & magic to Shōto's bleak, dull & gloomy world?“

Req 7: “Izuku accepts the fact that he can never be a hero. Now a college student, he's assigned to submit a paper/thesis for his last year. His subject of choice? Quirk discrimination. He intends to bring awareness that it's real & still happens. However, when he submits it, the outcome is...different from what he expects. By making it public, he unknowingly exposes how corrupt the system is within Hero Society. And this will change Hero Society forever...”

Req 8: “Izuku couldn't believe his luck when out of the 10,000 applicants, he's the one chosen to be the new secretary for Shōto, the CEO of the Todoroki company. But when Izuku meets Shōto in person, he gets the feeling that there's more to his new boss than meets the eye. It wasn't until nighttime when Izuku is attacked by creatures that should only exist in fictional stories, he is saved by none other than Shōto. And Izuku's suspicion that Shōto is more than just his boss is confirmed.”

Req 9: “Todoroki refuses to follow his father's ways so Endeavor places him in a deep sleep and puts him in a ring of fire declaring only a true hero may cross it. Years later Izuku wanting to prove himself decides to do that just that. He succeeds and awakens Todoroki. They fall in love but neither Endeavor or Hisashi approve of the union. They work together in tracking down and capturing Shinso. They force Shinso to use his quirk to have Izuku forget about Todoroki and marry the woman of Hisashi's choosing. The three keep this a secret leaving Todoroki heartbroken. Unfortunately unknown to Hisashi Endeavor has no interest in leaving Izuku alone. He tries to manipulate Todoroki into have Izuku killed.”

I’m kinda new to the mha fandom and I kinda wanted to ask why everyone fights over ships… specifically other shippers (kiribaku, izuocha, etc.) towards bkdk shippers… I kinda don’t understand what the big deal is, they’re not real people, why can’t we all just ship who we want and live peacefully💀

Hello! First off, let me start by saying, welcome to the bnha fandom where discourse happens more so when it comes to ships! Especially bc it’s a popular fanbase and this is common so don’t be surprised! I’ve been in this fandom for too long since s1 first aired and have seen many types of discourse in regards to shipping esp towards bkdks, and I agree with your last sentence 100%, but unfortunately, not everyone has that same mindset so it’s hard to find a common ground ;; To gain a little insight, I would say it first escalated when s1 first aired and katsuki was known for being the childhood friend turned bully when izuku revealed he didn’t get a quirk. Despite that, there were people like me who believed in katsuki who will turn over a new leaf in the future episodes/chapters and apologize to izuku for the things he has done in the past (and also bc childhood friends trope haha). Of course, not everyone shared the same sentiment using the same excuse of “why would you ship izuku with his bully?” and there were a lot of people who bullied (ironic i know) other bkdks even to the point of suicide (this was a long time ago iirc). I even remembered when krbk and tddk was the top ship in ao3 with bkdk in third lol It was really harsh back then, but fortunately, not as much as now from what I’ve seen so far after a lot of improvements between bkdk relationship. All in all, it basically came down to “my ship is superior to yours” kind of thing imo for every [insert ship here] moment whether it be on official art, hori sketch, anime merch, etc. there will be people who would focus on it and turn down on others. Now let’s not forget that not all shippers are like this and stay on their lane respectively, and I also can’t say all bkdks are saints either. It’s just that I’ve seen more backlash towards them on their end. So even though you and I wouldn’t understand why exactly people do what they do, let’s just say they have too much time in their hands and are obsessed with their ships to the point that there’s some who rub it in other people’s faces and believe it to be the endgame even though it has yet to be proven canon by hori himself _(:3 」∠)_  Regardless, please don’t let all this discourage you from enjoying the fandom! If needed, I highly encourage you to take breaks from social media and take some time for yourself to break away from the negativity when it becomes too much. Don’t let others ruin your experience in the fandom! (σ´∀｀)σ I hope you have a wonderful day!

Nineteen Pairs of Hands

Nineteen Pairs of Hands by ReadingToMusic

While graduating from UA, Katsuki swears he can feel his classmates and the friendship that comes with them dragging him down and away from his dream; the number one hero spot. He makes the executive decision to cut everyone off until he's climbed the ranks, convinced they'll all understand because of his motivation.

Shouto never thought he'd stand a chance with Izuku, even as close as they are, because of Bakugou. When Bakugou ghosts the class and Izuku doesn't chase him, instead choosing to accept that he's unwanted by his childhood friend and moving on with his life, Shouto realises his chances might not be as slim as he thinks.

Maybe, Izuku thinks, it's time to stop chasing someone who doesn't want to be caught, and focus on the people who never ran from him in the first place.
