Greetings, Student of UA

May I have the location of a Izuku Midoriya

I'll offer 1,000,000¥ if you give it

Nuh uh!!

[epickiya722]

So let me get this straight... Uraraka offers her blood to Toga just to get her to smile and Toga turns around and gives her blood to save Uraraka's life...

I SWEAR THESE THREE CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN...

[bicheetopuff]

Shounen was written for young boys to help them to get stronger and find a purpose in life, thats why most shounen series end up in marriage and having kids. Japan's birth rates are dropping each year and you guys want to see Deku and Bakugou end up together instead of Deku and Ochaco getting married and having kids? The stories and media we consume has to match the standards of real life you know.

Wow… this is a lot to unpack. A normal person would just ignore this, but lucky for you, I’m a bitch when I wanna be, and I happen to have time on my hands right now.

1) “Shonen was written for young boys to help them to get stronger and find a purpose in life”

Shonen is literally just a genre that directly translates to “young men.” But I think you’re trying to define the meaning of story telling as a whole, and even still, that’s a very narrow way to view an entire genre.

Stories meant for young men, most of the time, are meant for entertainment. You have anime’s like Dragon Ball and Naruto that’s almost nothing but action scene after action scene with very little thought provoking plot, because at the time, they were written for young boys. Like, they were aired on children’s channels back in the day, young boys. And while I won’t deny that there are definitely some good lessons in both (I can’t speak much because I never finished Naruto and only got about 20 episodes into dbz) they’re not meant to make a boy “stronger.” Lessons in early shonen were meant to broaden world views and increase emotional intelligence in a way that’s easy to understand. I guess it depends on your definition of what strength is, but I feel like strength is built from personal experiences, not watching an anime.

That being said though, the shonen/young boys genre has evolved over the years in the east and the west. Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Attack on Titan, are all shonens, with aot being also classified as a seinen. Those are most definitely not meant for the same age group that Dragon Ball and Naruto and One Piece were written for, given the amount of gore and heavier themes presented. Now, that’s not me looking down upon those stories at all, that’s me pointing out the obvious difference in tone, despite them being classified as the same.

As the genre evolved, authors approaches have also evolved. Literally read any interview from any modern shonen author and you’ll see how unserious they are when it comes to their own stories. Gege didn’t even like writing his story past a certain point and was just trying to push through it, because it wasn’t the story he originally wanted to write. Horikoshi has always said he just wanted to tell a story with no real goal towards the audience. Chainsaw Man is literally about a guy wanting to touch some boobs??? What about any of that screams, “I’m writing this to raise the new generation of young boys into strong husbands and fathers who know their purpose in life!”

Shonen as a whole has grown into a genre meant for young adults, with heavier themes and becoming increasingly more political. It’s not the same genre it used to be, and trying to say that it is, isn’t fair and is lowkey insulting towards authors with a more progressive world view.

2) “Japan’s birth rates are dropping each year and you guys want to see Deku and Bakugou get together instead of Deku and Ochaco getting married and having kids?”

Yeah… you’re right. I’d rather see a well written relationship come to fruition than watch another male author completely disrespect their female lead and ripping away her development. Why the fuck would I, an infertile acespec queer person, give a fuck about using two fictional characters to inspire young people to get married and start a nuclear family…

Also the birth rates are dropping all over the world, don’t pretend it’s only a Japanese issue. In Asia specifically, the birth rate is going down because women are tired of men’s shit and refuse to bare their children, and I’m actually happy as fuck that other parts of the world are following in their footsteps.

Women have been treated like shit in every corner of the world for so fucking long, and we all just dealt with it because that’s what we all thought we were supposed to do. It’s about fucking time we actually put our foots down and protest in the ways that we can, which is practicing our rights to autonomy. Why tf should we be responsible to bear the children of men most of us barely even like? And why is having children a mans responsibility, when women are the ones who have to carry the babies? Besides, why the fuck would anyone want to bring a kid into the shit show that is the world right now?

We’re over populated, have a really fucked up consumption and capitalism problem which causes us to depend on disgustingly unethical ways to find resources to appease everyone, there’s fucking flowers blooming in the arctics, there’s several genocides happening in the world as a result of neglectful and corrupt governments, a literal ethnic cleansing happening, and a carton of eggs costs 12 fucking dollars while the minimum wage stays at only $7.25 and the cost of living isn’t affordable unless you’re making nearly triple the minimum wage. I don’t even wanna be subjected to this shit and I’ll be damned before I subject a child to it against their will. Most of us can’t even afford to take care of ourselves without our parents help right now.

Also, what does a gay pairing have to do with the birth rate at all? Is Deku gonna carry that baby? Or are you seriously just narrowing down Ochaco to nothing more than his incubator? If Ochaco decides to have kids one day, why should it have to be with Deku? Oh and I hate to break it to you, but Ochaco becoming a mother isn’t going to solve any of the issues you presented.

3) “The stories and media we consume has to match the standards of real life you know”

…you’re talking about a story where one of the background characters has a god damn spray bottle for a head…

It’s fiction. Superhero media, at that. None of it has to follow the “rules” of real life, and most of the time, this kind of media does the exact opposite of following societal norms. And you thinking otherwise probably made Stan Lee roll in his grave.

Also, what’re your standards for real life? Because everyone’s standards are different. If yours is to get married and live in a traditional household with five kids and one source of income in this economy, then I think you’re the one being unrealistic here.

We shouldn’t burden children with adult responsibilities. Having kids and being a “good husband” isn’t something a child should have to think about until they’re older and only if they want to. Believe it or not, not everyone’s goal is to get married and produce offspring. We should be encouraging children to do the things they like doing without having to worry about adult shit yet. Not indoctrinating them into believing that the only way for them to be a successful adult, is if they have kids.

Using shonen and other conformative media that is dead set on maintaining the status quo to brainwash kids into wanting to be parents before they even know how babies are made, is weird. Don’t be weird, anon. You sound like one of those “alpha males” with a red pill podcast, convincing young men that crypto scams are a perfectly ethical way to make quick cash.

Literally just say you’re a misogynist, and move on. And get tf out of my inbox.

P.S.

You know gay men exist in real life, right? You’re talking as if gay men aren’t real. Not only are they real, but they also have nothing to do with the birth rate dropping. Find something else to be mad about.

[cloverr-overr]

Do you think Uraraka and Jirou would be considered close? I personally think they'd be a killer duo if they had more screen time together

-🍋🗡️ anon

oh they would be the cutest I just know it, I’d like to think they like the same music :3

[oshiawaseni]

Well, well, well... doesn't he look awfully happy.

Who are you looking at, Izuku?

[tododeku-or-bust]

I still have yet to receive a good heterosexual explanation for why Ochaco helped save Izuku with this dramatic, rousing speech, only to go to bed, leaving her man to stay up and be tucked in and spoken fondly and protectively about by Shouto, in front of everybody.

[theloveinc]

why are we jealous of ochaco ?👀

THAT SHOULD BE ME being treated like that!!!!!! i wanna be everyone's favorite pillow princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND SWEET and gorgeous and the world's most loveliest femme🥲🥲🥲

Chapter 71 - Kota

[rwac96]

When did Ochako realize that she was Dekusexual?

Izuku: *punching at a sandbag shirtless*

Ochaco: *cheeks turning red* W-Wow.

Izuku: *turns to face her* Everything alright, Uraraka? *blinks*

Ochaco: *gulps*

*thinking* 'Oh, no! He's hot!'

[professionallydeadinside]

As a Bakugo lover- I must ask for himb. Or Uraraka!

I really couldn't think of anything to change for Bakugo because I'm also a Bakugo enjoyer so take a best girl......

[kokupuffs]

Could I get a lee Todoroki fic with ler dekusquad 👀 scenario is up to you and your wondrous imagination ✨

Ah, yes, of course! Apologies if I get anyones personality wrong. I haven't watched the anime in a while, so I don't remember everything.. Also i am sorry but i won't be including Tenya IIda because I'm not comfortable writing for him. hope you enjoy! :3

'Isn't it strange?' Ochaco asked, looking over at Izuku. Although she wasn't extremely worried, she thought the situation was very odd.

'I guess. It isn't like Todoroki to just skip training, especially without a proper reason.' The reason in question had been that he wasn't feeling very well. However, the others knew better. This happened yesterday to and now the others wanted to know the truth.

'My guess is that he's in his dorm. Maybe you guys should go figure out what's happening. I'll cover for you.' Mina responded as she overheard their conversation and wanted to help out herself. She was getting slightly concerned, considering that Todoroki never skipped a day of training before, so there had to be something going on. Right..?

The two of them soon arrived at the dorms, meeting up with the other girls along the way. 5 minutes.. Momo knocked again but found no answer. Was he asleep? Ignoring them? Maybe he wasn't here at all? That's what the others thought.. however, momo was persistent, and seeing as the door was unlocked, she let herself in the others soon following after.

'Todoroki?' She called out, but no answer.. 'Todoroki?' She called once again, this time a little louder. This time, Todoroki emerged from the kitchen, seemingly fine, although earlier he said he wasn't and well, he still persisted that he was not okay. Assuming that he was just being stubborn, Ochaco jabbed his side a few times, causing him to stumble back and clutch his side.

'Are you alright? Did she hurt you? If she did then I am so sorry!' Izuku was slightly concerned thinking that she had hurt him but it turns out she hadn't..

'No.. it's fine. She didn't hurt me. I'm just sensitive there I guess'

'So you're..'

'No! I never said that-'

'But you did, didn't you? So you know what that means..'

'Ahehehehehehe!' Momo and Ochaco had both lunged at him, Momo skittering her fingers skillfully up and down his sides while Ochaco was squeezing at his hips gently. This was enough to get him giggling however the girls thought he may be more sensitive somewhere else..

Tsuyu, not wanting to be left out, joined in the fun as she sat on his legs and gently scribbled her fingers along his knees.

'AHAHAHA! *hic* T-TSHEHEUHEHYHU!! STAHAHHAHAP! *squeal* NOOO!'

'Izuku come join!' The girls encouraged him and he went to hold up Todoroki's arms giving the girls free range as Todoroki squirmed and thrashed about.

'Aww look how red he is? Isn't it adorable?'

'Yeah, and listen to him. His laugh is so cute.'

Tsuyu was now lightly scratching at his feet while Momo and Ochaco both attacked his neck and ribs.

*snort* 'AHAHAHAHAHA' *hic* *hic* 'STAHAHAHAHAHAP' 'PLEAHEHEHHEHESEE!' *squeal*

He didn't know how much longer he could take this, but he'd had enough and was thankful as the others stopped there assault quietly giggling as he curled up into a ball, residue hiccups and giggling escaping his lips.

'So are you alright now?' Izuku asked

'Yehehes.. thank you..'

'Good' the girls smiled at each other as Izuku helped Todoroki up. He learned not to skip training after that..

Hope you enjoyed!

Note: I'm sorry if this is short..

[official-uravity]

...

When did you and ashido get this.

...

...

You know himiko is on here too

Uhhh, not sure?? Also- I’m not sure why you’d use that gif when telling me Himiko Toga is here but…maybe I’ll talk to her if I see her…

[epickiya722]

hi, I don't know if you still answer your character ask game but if so can I suggest ochaco if you haven't amswer for her yet?

have a nice day 🌻

I actually have, months ago! If you're taking about the 'Send Me a Character...'

See it here!

Nothing really changed since then.

Spoiler alert for the manga here.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I did like Ochako's ending. She not only became a Pro Hero, so she reached that goal, but she also started a program to help people with their Quirks (along with Tsuyu, Momo and Tenya). Also, that bit about how she felt about her fight with Himiko, I liked that, too.

Like, yes, let her pursue her goals!

Also, I want to add these pictures as some of my favorite ones, too.

Send Me a Character...

[bicheetopuff]

Crying big part of why birth rates are down is specifically bc men refuse to not see women as their property baby-makers. Izuku did not need to be in love with Ochako to appreciate her as his hero or put children in her to value her in general. Boys should learn to respect their female peers and understand their agency as people, and that they are not owed or obligated to marriage from them.

It's kinda hilarious that it's mostly grown non-japanese men that were complaning abt it like it was the end of the world lol.

It’s cuz the most misogynistic part of anime fandom are mostly grown ass non Japanese men who only watch basic shonen who get mad when the basic shonen isn’t actually a basic shonen. And they somehow dominate fandoms and run all of the big anime accounts, so if your opinion doesn’t align with theirs, you’re automatically wrong.

They view women as accessories to men and get mad when they’re actually written to have rights instead of only being arm candy.

It’s honestly disturbing how they wanted Ochako’s arc to end. Women aren’t trophies and they’re not incubators. They’re people. And they’re literally just mad because Ochako was treated as such, and it’s scary that they don’t realize how weird that is.

“Have you thought about it much? What comes after the final act of our years within these walls of academia?” Tokoyami sits perched atop the desk, much to Iida’s chagrin, eyes focused upon the other hero student as they linger in the otherwise empty classroom, elected for tidying duty that day. It has always seemed strange to him, returning to these walls after they fought in a war, but he supposes getting the appropriate accreditations matters to the society they intend to serve. He has his own views for the future, ones that shift the highlights of purple into a vibrant red and spread wings over a whole city so that it might be saved in the quickest time. A speedy response, learnt through the hero he admires most, working alone but coordinating with many others.

“Do you intend to traverse the hero world as a solo act or embrace the opportunity of partnerships, be it at the side of someone already established or in collaboration with a friend for a joint agency?” He knows many of their peers chat excitedly about their lofty aspirations of the hero charts, arguing boisterously about which of them will sit at the top, but for him it is much more integral to ensure the foundations of what work you want to do are in place before worrying about such a thing as popularity and competition. That is something that will come with effort and results. His own path is clear to him, he wonders if that is strange in comparison to his peers, but since the end of the war he has already begun to make the small adaptations to ensure that by the time he takes to the stage Hawks’ legacy will be known.  

❝ ━  I want to be a rescue hero, maybe team up with Tsuyu. There’s a lot I want to do, but I want to be an inspiration. There’s still a lot left for me to learn but I know anything I could come up with wouldn’t matter until I’m in the moment, ❞ She responds, a quick smile to her lips, leaning back in her chair, thinking of all the great heroes she had looked up to. Just everything she had learned and experienced since their first year.

Being able to take down people without the use of her quirk, the quick thinking that had saved her time and time again. And even the empathy that saturated her bones and let her feel for those who were labeled before they could come into their own. Ochaco wanted to be the smiling, fierce face of someone holding out a hand to save someone, to reassure them even when fear was taking over. ❝ ━  A twilight hero, maybe ? A collaboration with plenty of other heroes. There’s so many people who need saving. ❞ She didn’t want her name on big cases, but more so the ones overlooked. The ones who needed help the most while every other hero could take the fame. No, Ochaco didn’t want fame or recognition, she wanted to be a friendly face, one associated with heroism, where she can go somewhere and know it’s safer because of her own contributions.

A soft smile crosses over the heroine’s features, thinking of her friends, of the type of heroes they’d become, who’ve they’ve been influenced by but most of all, the legacies they would be protecting. ❝ ━ I’m not sure what the future holds, but I know that I want all of us to stay in contact, whether we’re in another prefecture, another country or wherever, because we’re already heroes, and our futures are bright. This also means, I’m calling dibs on a team up when we finally establish ourselves, got it ? ❞ With a bright grin, she holds her fist up for him to bump, ❝ ━ We’ll have so much to look forward to. ❞

she just wants to be there for the people. | @resolutepath

My sibling, who is an anime only said they would not be surprised if BKDK became canon considering the depth of their relationship, their interactions, and their character development regarding each other ... despite how Bones added in Izuocha scenes and cut out some critical BKDK moments in most of the seasons so far... And, seeing how one-sided the "love" is between Izuocha, which I believe is deep admiration as of reading the manga- I have to say I agree.

Izuocha, is fine on the surface but is unhealthy. Izuku would not pay attention to Ochaco they he would need to if they were in a relationship. And Ochaco only saw "Hero Deku" rather than all of "Izuku", which would cause her to unknowingly encourage Izuku's reckless self-sacrificial behavior.

BKDK is different because not only they know each other beyond the surface level, but they also have their sights on each other and the mere presence of their partner inspires them to become better and stronger people at heart because they have genuine love for each other...

I honestly do not understand what is in the Dudebros' mind other the fact that they are lacking emotional intelligence and critical thinking... but I will just enjoy what they are missing. (Sorry for rambling...)

Hi anon! Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you (reason in tags). Let me just reply to your ramblings with some ramblings of my own :)

I actually really enjoyed Season 6. The only thing I faulted Bones for, was creating that jarring opening that made out like Ochaco was the hero of the retrieve vigilante Deku mission (which sadly only fueled izuochas more on mhatwt), when it was 1000% Katsuki's doing and there is one panel which proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

See this? Who is the one standing in front of Shoto and Tokoyami, addressing the whole class? It's Katsuki! Not Ochaco! She was seated with everyone else. This is why it's so frustrating when they say she was the reason Izuku was brought back to U.A. That arc was all about Katsuki's feelings for Izuku and wanting to return his smile.

He was even so worried he lost sleep over it, wondering where Izuku was, if he was okay… he must have stayed awake in bed, thinking and thinking about Izuku and how he could get him back. Katsuki was used to Izuku being by his side, and it was the first time Izuku had willingly left it. It provided him clarity about how important* Izuku was in his life, which only made him worry even more. (*see also: crucial, vital, imperative, watch me emotionally die slowly inside if you aren't around me anymore.)

Katsuki losing sleep, at a time Izuku was not sleeping was such a symbiotic soul mates power move Hori added in for flavour. I love it SOOO freaking much. There are no lengths this man won't go, to prove how in sync they are with each other, how much they need each other, the empathy they share with each other, even on a completely spiritual level where they share in each other's sufferings, *without even knowing it* such as right here, just like Katsuki wants to share all of Izuku's burdens so that he's not crushed by them.

But with that said, though Bones really dropped the ball on the opening (and 5 previous seasons...*ahem*), there were a lot of curious changes that happened in season 6 that I did love, like Izuku dropping the "tachi" in his sentence which turned his line into "He hurt the person I love…" (instead of people)

and as we saw more of these additional changes Bones made, it got us wondering, did Hori have some regrets with the manga that he was unhappy about and wanted their romance to be more obvious? Was it only natural to get anime viewers up to speed before season 7, because they were going to find out through manga spoilers that Katsuki and Izuku are actually in love? I'd like to think so.

Changes I remember off the top of my head:

Reaching out for little Izuku's hand during Katsuki Bakugou Rising

Katsuki waking up and thinking "Deku…" and remembering his Rising sacrifice and being still hurt from it.

Izuku waiting until he was in Katsuki's arms before he apologised, which made their words of "I'm sorry" and "I know" more intimate and personal to each other. Like Izuku needed Katsuki's forgiveness the most, and Katsuki needed to let Izuku feel that he understands him the most.

Izuku's little "Ka-..." (the English dub did not catch it but I know other dubs did) as he was passing out, which made the entire hug scene feel so much more romantic.

"I'm gonna say your name when I wake up" vs "I'm gonna say your name when I fall asleep." BkDk: Always on each other's minds. All the time.

And one of the most interesting changes of all…

So get this, Ochaco gets a hand hold grab in the opening which canon-wise holds about as much weight as an "illustration" … and in the actual anime content, she grabs his wrist area instead of his hand like in the manga. Making her hand hold IN THE CANON CONTENT so impersonal. Almost as if to make up for the horrible opening they made. Why this was done still remains a mystery to us today… but I hope it's because Horikoshi asked them to make Izuocha stop being seen like a couple, and more like the friends they are.

And then, about the "brothers" "friends" comments antis love to make about bkdk. Well yeah, they're coping. In fact, Hori has shied away from labeling them friends several times when he could have! "Midoriya-kun is our friend" says Iida - with multiple people from the class, including Ochaco, presented in the panel… and Katsuki is nowhere to be found.

Or like when sAFO called Katsuki "Izuku's closest person" (motto mo naka ga ii) where it would have been WAY more natural to call him "shinyu," aka, "best friend." But that's the thing, Hori runs away from calling them friends like it's the plague LMAO

Really makes you wonder… was sAFO (I'd rather just call it AFO at this point because it's his personality being dominant vs Katsuki) alluding to hidden romantic feelings Izuku hides for Katsuki that his secret gaydar quirk picked up? Could be. In a way, at the time it happened, it felt to me like Horikoshi himself was talking to us through him, telling us very explicitly, "You're damn right. They're gay."

Either way, skirting around this label for them is being done on purpose by Hori. Like his hidden way of saying "Yeah they might be acting a bit more like the best friends they were always meant to be as kids, but their feelings for each other are not 'friendly' AT ALL. Because platonic friendship is not where these two are headed." And there are STILL hidden feelings they haven't managed to say to each other yet! The content Horikoshi has been itching to draw for YEARS that he is finally getting to. All that soft bkdk romance we've been waiting for is coming SO SOON!!! and I am HERE for it anon! 🔥

2023 will forever be known as the year of BkDk canon... these are very exciting times. <3
