Me when I find a blog that condemns Enji's past behavior only to find posts where they try to justify Dabi murdering innocent people.

Shinyo Takami dad headcanons!

Disclaimer Shinyo Takami is owned by @sleepwalkersqueen

-Dad jokes galore, as per usual.

-Hums Keigo to sleep, with gentle cooing here and there.

-Speaking of cooing. Will randomly do so just to hear Keigo reply.

-GETS KEIGO VACCINATED

-Keeping with the theme of crime dad and birb son, most likely coursed the doctor and nurses as they stood trembling at The Takami Theif asking them to vaccinate his kid.

-A frightened nurse is just like "um...do...do you have health insurance."

- "Honey, does it look like I have health insurance?"

-Cut to bird dad hovering and checking to make sure non of it is poison. "Yah know doc, if my chick starts turning blue or hacking up blood I know where to find you."

-Shinyo constantly being impressed by how smart his son is despite his upbringing. Let's not forget Hawks in canon is very intelligent.

-Let's Keigo sleep tucked into his jacket when walking or flying. Just prefers it this way as apposed to holding his hand while walking.

-Totally has nothing to do with his bird instinct to have his chick as close as possible to him at almost all times. It's just warmer...and safer...and Keigo doesn't really need to walk until he's like 10 anyways.

-Has an existential crisis when Keigo mentions that he can walk now.

- Just in his head he's like "What? What do you mean? You don't want me to carry you anymore? Why don't you want me to carry you? What did I do wrong? Why would you need to walk???

-Always builds a nest

-Snake hunting.

-KFC every Friday. Growing Hawk babies need their protein.

I know it was a brief moment, but remember when Hawks showed that he disagreed with Stain’s ideology? (as everyone should btw)

With the information on Hawk's character that we have now it makes even more sense.

Because Stain’s ideology goes against everything Hawk’s stands for.

Which is the human ability to change and grow at any point in your life.

As many have already pointed out (including the series) Stain’s ideology is incredibly flawed on a fundamental level. Because it requires the idea and only idea, that people never change or are uncapable of change and remain stagnate.

Which is inherently untrue. Even on a small scale.

Think about who you were when you were 10, 13, 20. What you use to believe in, what you believe now, how you use to act, how you act now, what type of friends you keep.

It’s all part of growing because that’s just how humans work. Whether for bad or good depends on the situation.

On a hero scale we see this first with Mt Lady

Mt Lady started off as someone who only became a hero too seek fame. But as the series progresses we see her go through events that make her realize what it really means to be a hero and make her willing to put her own life on the line for others.

I think the fandom misinterprets Hawks the same way the LOV misinterpreted Bakugou.

The mistake the league made was thinking Bakugou’s desire to win out weight his core values on WHY he wanted to become a hero.

As Aizawa pointed out. Bakugou could never turn into a villain, because it would mean giving up on becoming a hero.

And Bakugou does not give up.

This is why the league's plan back fired. They took Bakugou at face value without knowing anything about his real motivation.

How this is the same misinterpretation some have about Hawks

Similar too the league and Bakugou, I think some don’t think about WHY Hawks wants to be a hero.

There are some that are disappointed that Hawks continues to be a hero. This ranges between those who thought he would turn into a villain, a vigilante or quit hero work all together when; in reality this was never a possibility.

The idea that Hawks would ever stop wanting to be a hero or turn on hero society is pure fanon.

This is due to two reasons.

1. People misinterpreting Hawk's line about wanting an easier life as him wanting to quit.

2. People thinking Hawk’s is vengeful about his situation with the HPSC and hero society.

That last one is interesting because there is so far zero evidence that he feels that way in canon, yet it’s taken as a canon fact by a large part of the fandom.

Did Hawks want to be free of the HPSC? Yes. 

Did he want to harm anyone to do so? No not at all.

Does he want to change things about hero society? Yes. He’s made active moves to do so.

Has he shown any signs that he ever wanted to turn on it, harm people involve, quit, lose faith in the ability to change it? No.

Similar to the league’s misinterpretation of Bakugou, the misinterpretation people put on Hawks is believing his distain for the HPSC should out value his desire to help the public.

This was never the case and was never a possibility. Because Hawks wants to be the hero that he saw when he found out heroes were real and not just fictional characters.

[kitsu-katsu]

On kiribaku becoming canon and their evidence:

So I posted this on reddit earlier, but wanted to have it here where more KRBK shippers are, since I just ended up compiling a lot more than I thought I would.

Fair warning: A pretty big text with a compilation of kiribaku moments ahead.

We would all love kiribaku being canon, and I think it's not as much of a longshot as some may lead you to believe.

Honestly, if one of them was a girl, this would most certainly be canon, like, just in the anime we have:

Them becoming friends slowly in the background, leaving us with good development between them that is so seamless it can hit you hard once you notice how close they've become if you hadn't noticed before.

Them arriving and leaving the pool together while walking in the sunset.

They support and compliment each other (both on personality and quirks, like come on).

Kirishima can just lean on Bakugou or side hug him all the time and Bakugou lets him with no problem, which considering who we're talking about is a pretty big thing.

Kirishima can seem even more agitated than Deku about Bakugou being taken, and Deku is the one who idolized him since childhood.

The whole "It has to be you" thing and the precious hand holding (including that little scene after the rescue, where Kiri tries to grab Baku's hand again).

Kirishima bought expensive night vision googles in case they were useful for the rescue even though they had Yaomomo with them (this boy goes through extremes just to ensure his boyfriend's best friend's safety)

Kirishima is officially the one Bakugou considers an equal, and considering his conflicting inferiority and superiority complexes (making him perpetually place people as above him or beneath him) is vital information.

Kirishima is esentially Bakugou's first real friend (as Deku was considered more of an incomprehensible nuisance and his childhood troop seemed more like his followers who just put him up on a pedestal and followed what he did).

Kirishima has jumped in front of danger for Bakugou's sake quite a bit of times (including a time in the movie).

Kirishima is a central piece in Bakugou's character development.

Bakugou was the one who told Kirishima he was strong and gave him his confidence back, reminding him of what he said at the start of their friendship.

Kirishima unlocked fucking UNBREAKABLE because of Bakugou's encouragement.

Going to extra stuff:

Bakugou's favourite hobbie is hiking, and we're shown he takes Kirishima with him sometimes, thing he doesn't seem to do with other characters.

The whole festival thing, with the narrator outright assuming Bakugou must have given his coat to a pretty girl who was cold, only for it to be revealed in another picture that he gave it to Kirishima because as usual, he didn't have a shirt on.

On the movie Bakugou could have taken anyone to I-Island and took Kirishima as his plus one. They share a room. Kirishima bought suits for both of them, with the most detailed one with white roses being for Bakugou, and they decide to go to the party together.

In a BNHA Smash connected directly to the movie, Midoriya notices the white roses in Bakugou's suit and notes that they mean deep respect and "I'm the one for you", which prompts Bakugou to send an explosion his way (not to Kirishima who gave him the suit, mind you), which makes the flowers turn red (from blood), after which Mineta appears to say that red roses mean "beautiful and passionate love".

They are usually seen together in merch stuff.

There's this tumblr post talking about japanese fan's reactions to one of Horikoshi's drawings which I find at least hilarious:

https://exbrodokills.tumblr.com/post/187710597637/here-it-is

There are discussions regarding Kirishima's character sheet and the translation of him liking "tough guys" (here's a podt by aitaikimochi explaining the meaning of the translation: https://www.google.com/amp/s/aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/171127708911/amp) where even translator such as aitaikimochi have gotten into, and they have mentioned that there's a japanese stereotype of a type of gay guy who is obsessed with "manly behaviour" and usually stay away from women, prefering tough guys instead, which is interesting to say the least.

Some of the light novel episodes which show more slice of life moment feature some good kiribaku moments, with a prominent one being this one wich details their study date (it seriously seems like fan fiction, not even kidding, and this is supposed to be sort of canon):

https://www.google.com/amp/s/aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/171236111166/amp

Also there's a chapter where Kirishima tells Fatgum about Bakugou being extremely happy, and another one where they are arm wrestling between classes and they cheer for one another heavily.

(Honesly, just go through aitaikimochi's whole kiribaku tag, there are some pretty interesting things there)

Here are some analysis on their possible coding, if you guys are interested:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dxO6Y0yK_wxOJDmRsBYvsVWKwsH7tKc92skxJ--R1m4/edit?usp=drivesdk

(Bakugou's one link can be found at the end of that one)

And in BNHA Smash, there are quite a lot of things, and we must not forget that the whole thing still gets approved by Horikoshi before being published, some of my favourite things are:

Kirishima inviting Bakugou to spend christmas together, with the translators noting christmas in Japan to be a romantic holiday in the same panel.

In one issue, Jirou falls for Kiri and him being oblivious just leaves her for Bakugou.

Once Bakugou becomes a shoujo boy after being his with a quirk and just involuntarily talks in flirt, and in one moment Kirishima outright flirts back.

Bakugou works his ass off to repay Kirishima for the night vision googles they used in the rescue.

Kirishima is literally described as the chicken soup for Bakugou's soul!

An interesting thing I found out is that in the chapter where all of 1A minus Bakugou turn into animals, one scene originally had Kirishima (as a dog) getting jealous of Kaminari and Midoriya petting Tsuyu (as a cat - yes I know, a cat) and giving all their attention to her, however, Horikoshi himself changed that scene, noting he didn't think their character relations worked well in that scene, and made it so that the one that ended up in smash contains Kirishima (as a dog) getting jealous because Todoroki (as a koala) has climbed up Bakugou's torso and won't let go. I saw this all in a tumblr post a few months ago, which showed the original scene in a book (I think it was in italian and was translates below) but I can't currently find the link, sorry, if someone finds it, It'd be appreciated if you could reblog with said link.

And in regards to meta stuff, the show already has some LGBT characters in it, with Magne and Tiger being trans and Toga being bisexual, so it's not as much of a lost cause to hope for this as it would initially seem.

(Please kirimina shippers, don't take offence because of this, it isn't my intention to insult your ship, I simply want to analize what has been given to us, so please try to take this lightly):

We should also take into consideration Krishima's first version in the sort of "beta" for the manga (where Midoriya was Yamikumo).

His character sheet mentions he's quite the delinquent and entered UA to impress a girl. Obviously his character evolved tremendously since then, but the girl was most probably intended to be Mina's equivalent. This was later changed to him liking "tough guys"/"hard liners" and his thing with Mina became more of an "I admired your bravery and heroic spirit when in middle school even if I hardly knew you", later seeing each other and establishing more of a little friendship. However, it hasn't really moved further from there, and Kirishima has already established much stronger bonds with our favourite exploding boy. All changes in characters are made for a reason, and Horikoshi clearly changed his mind on Kirishima's motives for wanting to be a hero and his relationship with Mina.

So yeah, all in all, this ship is great, it's precious, adorable, helps both characters grow, is balanced and has good chemistry. So even if after all these things they don't become officially canon, we still have so much canon material for them in the present I'd honestly still be happy, these dorks make me smile and melt my heart, so I hope they both have good endings.
