#eri and lala becoming friends possibly?!

nodding!! i do wanna point out rq that, at the end of the movie novelization, it mentions that rody is no longer living for just his siblings, but for the people who care about him as well (aka izuku.) god. there's so many things in the novelization that made me so ill about him

TRULY rody and his undiagnosed ptsd. god. not to bring up how ppl characterize him again but i cannot Believe that no one has really talked about this facet of his character. i mean i Can believe it but also. Augh.

FOR SURE INKO WOULD LOVE RODY!!! i kinda like the idea that he'd be a little uncomfortable around her? agreed with the fawning thing but i also think from the angle of... god i hope i can explain this.

rody kinda tries to present himself as being Older, ex. him referring to deku as kid during their first interaction (really funny because he's only a few months older) + his preferred style of business casual. makes sense because he's a teenager trying to be the adult in his siblings life. what i'm getting at here is... i think inko would treat rody As his age, as the 16-17 year old he is. and i think that would make him uncomfortable. i think he would see how motherly and caring inko is and, yknow, being an overthinker, i wouldnt be surprised if hed find himself having thoughts like "does she think i'm doing a good job" because, well, from the team up mission, we know that rody doesn't think he is.

i think it would take him a while to find the thoughts of his own mother because i think that stuff is buried. if you wanted to go an angstier approach to this.

I unfortunately haven't read the movie novelization since I'm not sure where to :( But that's so sweet! I'm proud of my boy!

And no you're totally right about Rody being uncomfortable around Rody. And I get what you mean, suddenly being treated like your age after basically acting as an adult for so long would be strange. And yeah I did notice that Rody called Deku a kid like brother you're the same age😭 Rody definitely forgets how young he is. And adults tells him "you're just a kid, you shouldn't have to deal with all this" and he just. Freezes. That's such a revelation for him.

Ohhh Rody not thinking he's doing a good job breaks me. I think deep down he wants verbal affirmation that he IS doing a good job (based on the scene at the end of the movie where he asks Deku if he protected his family). Right after, Rody smiles and says he is pretty cool, which makes me think that if someone tells him he is doing a good job, it helps him believe that he is in fact doing a good job.

And yeah to be honest I was taking a bit more of a humorous approach to things but realistically yeah it would take him a little while to realize that.

Inko would hear about all that Rody does and has been through and would definitely say how strong he is and how his siblings are lucky.

On this note of rody meeting people... I imagine him meeting Eri for the first time. I personally think Rody likes kids, not just his siblings, and would love Eri.
