#izuku is traumatized

I have tons of things to say. But can I say this: do you think Izu is more used to prop others characters and no one does that for him?
Look not saying people need to worship him. But Shoto can traumadump on Izu, but Izu can't ever talk about himself or his struggles.
And I'm not sure if is intentional or not. (I do think Hori is a bad writer, I do think Hori hates his mc but...at the same time, to hate a character you need to think about him...sometimes feels he never thinks about Izu)
Yes.
In a very real sense, this honestly is a lot of Izuku's characterization at this point; sacrificing himself to help others, both as a person and as a character.
Or, to be pithy: Izuku's goal in life seems to be to literally martyr himself for others, in every possible way he can, and there's no sign that's ever going to stop.
There's also the writing, which uses Izuku as a convenient point to support a character or an idea, as a not-so-subtle way to tell the audience that, 'You should like this!', and to some extent, these two things mix with each other to the point where it's hard to distinguish what's what, but...
It's easy to point at, like Izuku being Shoto's trusted vent friend, for example, and say that's Izuku being, well, supportive for one of his friends. That makes sense. Then you think about it and realize that, for all their parallels in situations, with Shoto and Endeavour to Izuku and Bakugou, neither of them ever... bring that up. Izuku never vents back to Shoto, even though I'm sure he'd be happy to return the favor, and Shoto never reaches out to Izuku, his first friend.
Why? Is it because Izuku is too traumatized and too used suppressing his negative emotions to bring it up? Is Shoto still too unsocialized to know to ask? Or does Hori just not want to bring that up?
Any or all of that is probably correct, depending on what point we're at in the story.
And then Bakugou, while we're at it; to some extent, there is definitely some Hori work in the background making sure they're "friends" despite all logic, but looking at how Izuku acts, and how he used to think (because we can no longer see him think on screen any more)... how much of that is forced? How much of that is that Izuku just wanting to help Bakugou? How much is his old awe of his old tormentor, always so superior in every way to the pathetic Deku (and, for the record, I put 'Deku' very much as Izuku being used to support Bakugou, specifically to protect him from having to grow the fuck up and use his actual name), and long engrained habits to the tune of, 'Bakugou is never in trouble, so don't even bother because it will only hurt me?'
Again, the answer is basiclly, 'Yes'.
The thing is, even before Hori started messing up the plot to push one agenda or another, one of Izuku's biggest traits was self-destructive behavior; hell, even as a kid, he would try to protect others, even at his own expense. It's clear that at this point in canon, no matter how much better it should be by now, that Izuku still has no self worth, and thus, little to no need to protect or prioritize himself and his needs.
He doesn't value himself, so him taking on extra burdens from others, and refusing to talk about his own, isn't just likely, it's still canon. But at the all the same....
Like, Endeavour. Izuku spends a lot of time with him, doesn't tell anyone about the blatant abuse, and even tells Shoto 'you're already try to forgive him', and that? That is just so forced. That's just Hori dropping Izuku next to someone he wants to be more popular, and hoping that his 'I'm A Good Guy' energy rubs off.
So... ultimately the answer is C, all of the above. Izuku does his best to be everyone's hero, it tears him apart because that's impossible, and he doesn't see anything wrong with that. Hori is trying to use him to support his other characters, and prevent the parts of him that he doesn't like anymore from coming up, so no one ever really talks about Izuku's problems, even if they actually would, or why he's like this, or how he feels about things, and of course Izuku would never be so rude to bring up his own problems when they could possibly inconvenience someone!
To be frank, at this point being Hori's character support character is so interwoven into Izuku's characterization that we're long past the point where it could be excised realistically; this is something that's ruined his growth as a person for years now, and would require changes to Izuku and others long before The War Arc, much less the last arc of the story, changes that would organically change how people interacted with him and how he responds to them, changes that would escalate naturally over time to the point where many characters, especially Izuku, and even the story itself would be drastically different than they are now.
But... well. Izuku doesn't get nice things. He just gets to be everyone else's nice thing.

Still Thinkin of Yokai Amity
Y'know, where all of Amity have pretty much become yokai creatures. I might be weak for Japanese mythology and cryptids. Or really all mythology and cryptids, but Japan has a lot and it's near never-ending meaning it's fun to continue discovering and learning stuff. But anyway!
Amity Park, practically empty of humans now. Not even following the usual rule that things do thanks to how malleable ecto is. Along with how a form usually depends on ones own thoughts, feelings, and Core.
But anyway, Amity? Kind of having some trouble now that, again, no one there counts as human. Visibly so. Which, yeah the GIW is sort of incompetent, but it's also kind of... not?
Let them reiterate, individually or even in pairs, they can easily deal with the Guys in White. Heck, even a small battalion is easy enough- but they have... a lot of people. And the backing of the government. So.
Plan B? Escape. Where to?
Well, see, they've all had to interact more with the Realms, not to mention that well, the entire town was pulled into it at one point. Which was how everyone got that last bit of ecto to push the transformations from contaminated to Liminal.
Which means? Time to escape through the Realms to somewhere, maybe even somewhen else. But they also can't stay in the Realms indefinitely. Because even with their own Cores, most of them are still Living.
But they also can't agree on a World to settle down in, not with how they're still wary of reactions. So what's a city to do?
Why, pop into multiple worlds of course. A wandering city, the entrance shifting through gates and alleys and doorways that appears through time and space.
Sometimes another haunted being finds their way through, sometimes they visit one dimension more than another- sometimes they leave one behind forever. But tales still spread of the wandering city that flickers through existence.
#Prompts#liminal amity park#Yokai Amity au#Wandering Yokai City Au#danny phantom crossover#dcxdp#dpxdc#dp x bnha#dp x marvel#dp x mha#dp x mcu#dp x naruto#As many crossovers as you want#Constantine & Tsunade meet in Amity's local sake bar manned by a bakeneko#Batman falls through time only to crash into Amity alongside Loki#Izuku & Toshi accidentally wander in thanks to haunted quirk#Jazz steals tiny Naruto & Sasuke because Look at Him he's Traumatized#Tengu Damon Grey bonds with his Yosuzume daughter by playfully guarding the city#There's Torii gates that are entrances to the Realms where the dead can come through#Small shrines to those that helped them escape like Clockwork & Frostbite & Pandora & Princess Dora#A bustling familiar yet alien never-aging yet ever-expanding & evolving city of living and dead spirits

Now that BNHA is ending, I can finally say.... I didn't care about LoV at all, lmao. I didn't care about Shigaraki (kinda pitied little Tenko, sure), didn't care about Toga at all, didn't care about Spinner, Dabi, Compress, etc. Mind you Overhaul was more interesting with his "end the quirks cuz they are desease (kinda turned out true from AFO and Yoichi's backstory)".
People calling mangaka bad writer just because most of the criminals died and faced consequncws of their action and weren't "integrated into the society" (as if they hadn't killed hundreds of people) to live their "sunshine and rainbow lives" and how dare mangaka only make it seem like only children deserve to be saved and not villains...
How delusional are you, people? They were fucking murderers! Young or not, abused or not, shamed or not, discarded or not, they killed people! Do ya'll know how many serial killers had horrible childhood and were abused as children? Should we make it okay for them to roam the street juat for that and discard all the crimes they did?
"Just because it's realistic, doesn't mean that mangaka wrote it well, they deserved better" 🙄
And I say death for most of them was mercy and deserved to rot in Tartaros, end of story.
(LOV lovers dni, cuz I see one word and I'm gonna block your delusional selves)
#bnha 429#mha 429#mha spoilers#bnha manga#anti league of villains#anti lov#izuku deserved better that being yelled at by Spinner cuz Shigaraki died#as if Izuku didn't lost arms#and wasn't traumatized by them and their existence#as if Izuku didn't almost lost his mind when he saw Katsuki laying there on the ground with his ribcage open wide#as if Katsuki didn't die at their hands#as if Stain didn't kill hundreds of people#pro heroes or not#Midnight died#Shirakumo's life was ruined when he was turned into the Nomu#Aizawa literally lost his eye and leg#and many horrible thinga they did#midoriya izuku#deku#katsuki bakugo#aizawa shouta#bnha dabi

Kaminari, to Bakugo: dude if you’re always gonna be this scary no one is ever going to like you
Izuku, from off screen: i mean somebody might, also it’s me, I’m somebody
#bkdk#bakudeku#mha#mha rewatch#we can talk forever and a day about how traumatized Izuku actually is about how Katsuki treated him as a kid#but he’s forgiven him over and over and over again#he LIKES Katsuki as a human person#despite his flaws#maybe even because of them sometimes#I have so many FEELINGS

The way this is going to be a scene shared between them that nobody outside will know or experience being a part of
Nobody else will see the moments of Tenko's origin, the hurt and the pain and the blood spilled in that garden
Nobody else will see those happy moments with his sister and his dog. The moment he discovered his grandma was a hero, staring starry-eyed at her photo
Nobody else will see the neglect on the street as a little boy with blood on his hands walks away
Nobody else will see AFO picking him up, the first person to act sympathetic and hug him and give him a place to stay
Nobody else will see the way Tenko hesitated to use his quirk
Nobody else will see the way AFO encouraged him to kill
Nobody else will see the image of a small boy hugging the dead hands of his family and wearing them, surrounded by the "gifts" he was given as a reward for killing
Nobody else will see the purposeful neglect, the trash bags in his room and the isolation, the way he stares at a computer screen as his future hero loses the sports festival but saves a traumatized boy's heart
Nobody else will see it all, experience it playing in front of them, except Izuku
It's so personal. Blood in the wounds, sharing each other's experiences, only for the other to see and know
#im unwell. hori what have you done to me#i mean of course im only assuming all of this is going to be shown#maybe we'll see the short of it and basic knowledge of Hey This Kid Was Fucking Groomed And Also Traumatized AF#i hope not but whatever#anyway im in my feels and im excited to see what exactly will happen#bnha#bnha manga spoilers#bnha spoilers#shigaraki and midoriya#okay yeah i know the league saw the room and the trash bags and could likely figure out the cause of that being isolation but STILL#im thinking bout my boys#izuku midoriya#mettys posts#metty posts#bnha 414

as much as i love monoma, and am SO happy to see him getting some of the spotlight he deserves, i am SO scared that hori is just going to make his character revolve around bakugo. one of my favorite things about monoma is how much he hates him, and picks on his flaws, BECAUSE HIS FLAWS NEED TO BE PICKED AT. I don't want bakugo dying for like 5 minutes to completely change monoma's veiw of him / give him a "newfound respect" for him because THATS BULLSHIT. I cannot stand hori trying to force respect or admiration of a quirk discriminator onto victims of quirk discrimination. if monoma KNEW how horrible bakugo used to be (and we know he already doesnt like him because hes a fucking asshole) he would literally despise him, because people like bakugo were the people who told monoma that he would NEVER be good enough.
#anti bakugo#anti bakugou#anti bakugo katsuki#monoma#monoma neito#neito monoma#i do not like the writer of mha#stop fucking up my favorite characters#just let him be traumatized from all the death please#like at most make him respect izuku more#im just saying that because im a monodeku shipper#both of their characters are getting fucked over by bakugo#i fucking hate bakugo#monodeku trauma twinsies lmao

“Oohh i’m so scared people won’t like the protagonist i’ve written oh nooo- I better make sure that they’re a likable persooonn.”
NO.
MORALLY FLAWED CHARACTERS ARE ALWAYS THE PEOPLE’S FAVORITE.
NO ONE LIKES A BLAND SALTINE ASS BABY SAD BOY WHO WAS BULLIED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE HE’S DIFFERENT OR SOMETHING BUT NOW HE’S GOING TO WORK HARD AND HE’S THE CHOSEN ONE AND EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED HE’S JUST GONNA BE A PART OF IT LIKE A LOSER AND BLAH BLAH—
#this is harry potter and izuku mid-oriya slander#we need more fucked up traumatized losers as protagonists#Atsushi barely escapes this trope#The only reason he doesn’t fall into it is because he has understandable motives and trauma that would make him be the way he is#bungou stray dogs#bsd#Authors are too scared to make their protagonists fucked up#tangent#rant post#harry potter slander#mha slander#bnha slander
