#oh Midoriya's crying again?? Annoying. We get it crybaby. whatever

[comedicreliefonlyworkswhenfunny]

I'm gonna just say this because we've all thought it at some point or another:

People in this fandom will get mad at fucking anything.

It makes sense at a glance because the fandom is very large (especially considering a big chunk of it is inexperienced, seeing as this is one of- if not- their first fandom), so not everyone is going ro be happy with every decision that the creator makes ((not to mention, fandoms these days are getting WAY too fucking comfortable heckling and harassing creators))

When Midoriya cries, he's seen as weak hearted.

When he doesn't cry, he doesn't care.

Like, to hijack this post a bit, the hospital scene where Bakugou woke up from /literally saving Midoriya's life/ he was eccentric to say the least, running off of adrenaline and fear. People with reading comprehension skills recognized that he was worried for Midoriya's safety. People without reading comprehension skills claimed that he was 'just being his typical self' (not stopping to think that maybe 'his typical self' is actually a coping mechanism?? and he uses it to pretend he's okay).

But imagine, if you will, that he hadn't leaped out of bed, fought through his classmates, and tried his damndest to make sure Midoriya was okay. Guess what? Then "he doesn't even care."

No matter what, he loses.

Of course, there are also a myriad of people leaping at Bakugou's throat in hopes of gaining moral superiority (which is veeery hypocritical of them, especially considering they often view themselves as 'better' than the people who like him and often even harass others for liking him... you know... just like the very person they condemn) (that's also another good indicator that a lot of the fans are new, because the 'asshole rival' is literally a trope in so many Shounen anime and often goes as far as trying to actively kill the mc, buuut that's a different discussion).

((The girls are a great example of this, too, but they're also so poorly written- as in they are completely underutilized, so most arguments are valid))

The Class 1-A versus Class 1-B tournament! (Excluding the fandom's disdain towards Bakugou) Is also a good example of this.

If Class A had won by a landslide, it would have been unfair, since Class B doesn't have literally any spotlight and has somehow been exempt from the plot all year.

If Class B had won by a landslide, it would have still been unfair, because they haven't had the real time experience that Class A has had.

Back to characters, though, Miruko! She got injured during her big fight with the ugly ass Doctor bitch. She fought like a goddamned beast, but she got hurt! Her getting injured feeds into every other, "Horikoshi is a misogynist" meta that's being put up.

But, if she had made it out unscathed, then she'd be labeled a 'too perfect' and shitty attempt at writing a strong female character.

The thing is, you can't please everyone- especially not when there are so, so many people who enjoy this peice of media. People are always going to have shit takes or 'eh,,, I mean...' opinions, and there are always going to be debates.

But if assholes out there are getting annoyed/upset about a sixteen year old boy showing his feelings, regardless of the fact that his entire fucking world is crumbling around him, they need to take a step back from their bullshit fucking soapbox and snap the fuck out of it.

Anyway, there's no real point, but it's getting really fucking annoying that the generation if people up their own ass about "be critical of the media you consume" can't even take two fucking seconds to realize the shit they're spewing is so undeniably hypocritical and fucking stupid.

Who wins vs who loses is always up for debate.

How injured a character gets and whether or not they keep fighting is typically heavily exaggerated in Shounen anime (and so many other medias).

Representation is always a difficult, two sided battle. (This is about the girls, but also about Magne and Tora- both a discussion for another time).

But kids? Fucking children? Showing their emotions? Should not be this fucking dragged.

Let characters realize the errors of their ways.

Let characters try and do better.

Let characters be human- in anger, in sorrow, in heavily conflicting emotions that they can't convey (if a character always reacts "the right way," guess what? They're poorly fucking written.)

Let

Characters

Relapse

Let characters cry.

Let characters act fucking stupid because guess what??? Humans act fucking stupid all the fucking time.

Teenage boys, especially, have such a stigma around showing their emotions- if they're upset, they're weak; if they're angry, they're scary; if they're happy, they're being weird- let them work out their own goddamned feelings.

Let them regret their actions.

Horikoshi kinda sucks ass at showing long term trauma (and he definitely has too many ideas for the world and not enough time or space to impliment them), but this is one of the few things he's starting to get right!

Also for a generation that won't shut up about 'critical consumption,' there are a shit ton of people who refuse to look any fucking deeper than the surface level of actions and it's absolutely infuriating.

So apparently people are annoyed that Deku is crying?

He’s sleep deprived, hasn’t eaten, and is in a terrible mental state. The fate of the world is weighing on him and everyone he’s ever known and loved is going to die unless he’s able to stop AFO. If he accepts help he risks putting them in direct danger. If he doesn’t and does this alone, he’s going to destroy himself in the process… Not to mention he’s literally a 16-year-old child.

He just wants to save everyone.

ignoring them for 24 hours ✧ hc

you ignore your boys for 24 hours. or, at least, you try to.

genre: fluff

requested: yes! i added todoroki just cause

as perceptive as he is

izuku probably notices immediately how you’re avoiding him

you two wake up at similar times because you go to sleep at similar times, but this time you woke up before him

he gave you a sweet “good morning” and kissed your cheek, but you only smiled and went to the bathroom

he thought that was strange. you usually say good morning back

but then again, it was such a small thing that he didn’t really overreact over it

however, when you left his dorm without saying goodbye or anything like that he got a little worried

once classes were beginning, he went to your dorm to pick you up and walk you to class like usual but

you were already gone.

“what the...” he would murmur to himself, frowning now

what was up with you? were you ignoring him or something?

what even annoyed him further was that you spent the whole day with fucking bakusquad!

bakugo didn’t seem to like it of course, but kirishima and the others accepted your company like it was nothing

he tried to sit next to you at lunch but once bakugo noticed his presence, he immediately yelled at the green haired boy to “fucking beat it!”

“but i-“

“WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!”

the fact that you didn’t even come to his defense kind of hurt him

he didn’t even eat at lunch

he was so bummed out that he just poked at his food with a frown on his face

of course you noticed this. you had been watching him all day and it broke your heart to see your baby like this omg ㅠㅠ

you couldn’t do it anymore. you got up and sat next to him at lunch and you swear he shined brighter than the sun when he saw you

“y/n! i-you-“

“i was trying to praaank you,” you pouted. “but you looked so upset after what that bomb bitch said-i couldn’t do it anymore.”

his pout matched yours.

“don’t do that again... i was seriously worried!”

he makes you stay by him for the rest of the day 😭

ignoring him for 24 hours challenge: failed.

y/n only lasted 5-6 hours.

todoroki literally doesn’t notice at all

he doesn’t talk much, and seeing that you don’t talk to him much in the morning doesn’t really bother him

he just assumed you were tired and didn’t really care

you two usually got coffee together in the morning but as he went to the common room to wait for you, he was a bit peeved that you didn’t show up

he just assumed you fell asleep or something, or maybe you weren’t in the mood

not gonna lie, he was already missing your presence but he wouldn’t push you to interact with him if you weren’t in the mood

when he goes to class though, he sees you laughing and smiling with the rest of dekusquad

having a good time, apparently

he sits with you guys and listens, and his brows furrowed when he heard you say

“i wish i would’ve gotten coffee this morning. really wanted some mocha.”

...?

did you forget that you two got coffee literally every morning?

okay, whatever. something was definitely wrong with you but he wouldn’t push.

you two also sit together during lunch but you sat between tsu and izuku instead

he’s like

what. the fuck.

he stares at you for the entirety of lunch time 😭

he doesn’t even mean to, he’s just so confused?

like why are you ignoring him? you guys didn’t fight or anything last night so ?? why??

the day continues like that

whenever he comes around you leave, whenever he talks you look away from him

he’s a mixture of irritated and annoyed

irritated bc he doesn’t know why you’re acting this way, and annoyed because he wants to fucking talk to you

you’re one of the only people in this class he talks to on a daily basis and you’re pushing him away??

he only says something when it’s kind of late and everyone is tucked away in their dorms

he has a key to your dorm room don’t ask why so he goes ahead and enters

you’re on your bed, giggling about how well the prank is going to mina when you hear the doorknob jiggle and your boyfriend enter the room

“shoto!”

“we need to talk, y/n.”

you make a face. “actually, i-“

“y/n.”

the sternness in his voice makes you look up at him, kinda scared at just how serious he looks

“you’ve been ignoring me all day. why? did i do something?”

“i—“

“if i did, please tell me. communication is important in every relationship and our relationship is very special. if you do not talk to me, i have no way of knowing what i did to hurt you and-“

“shoto! oh my god, it was just a prank!” you tell him quickly, standing up and holding out your arms.

he lowkey makes a 🤨 face.

“a prank...?”

“yeah. ignore your boyfriend for 24 hours prank,” you sigh. “i was so close.”

he sighs with you, walking over to hug you tightly, which feels so good after today.

“it’s a very stupid prank.”

you giggle against his chest.

“yeah. very stupid.”

ignoring him for 24 hours challenge: failed.

y/n only lasted 18 hours.

another one that notices immediately

you went the extra mile as to leave his dorm way earlier than he wakes up, which-

how tf did you do that

he automatically doesn’t fucking like that.

“y/n?!” he’ll yell out into his bathroom and grumble when you aren’t in there, or anywhere else in his room

he doesn’t even see you until class starts, sitting and laughing with fucking dekusquad

not only that, with midoriya

“hey dumbass, why’d you leave my dorm so early today?!” he asks you, and your eyes don’t even meet his.

you just continue scribbling at your desk.

his eyes turn white.

“i’m talking to you!”

“bakugo, please go have a seat. you’re being incredibly too loud.” aizawa would tell him, slipping his face out of his yellow sleeping bag.

he looks at his teacher, then at you, then back at his teacher before cursing and marching to his desk

probably always glancing at you through the day

the fact that you’re smiling and laughing with fucking deku

that just makes his mood even worse

you’re supposed to be smiling and laughing with him, not that crybaby

obviously his friends notice how mad he is

“dude, why so pent up?” kirishima would ask him and bakugo would literally snark

the red head smirks. “oooh—its y/n isn’t it.”

bakugo pauses.

“how the fuck did you know-“

“you know she’s pranking you, right?” kirishima would laugh at the look of anger that crosses bakugo’s face.

you’re ignoring him for a... a...

a PRANK?!

he’s livid.

during training he will not hesitate to march up to you

“you think it’s funny to ignore your boyfriend for a stupid prank, huh?! you think that’s so funny don’t you?!”

“bakugo, i-“

“SILENCEEEE!” he’ll literally roar at you and blast you like 10 feet away 😭

cue him being your partner and beating you up for practice

ignoring him for 24 hours challenge: failed.

y/n only lasted 5 hours.

kirishima understands the concept of “personal space”

he knows that sometimes, you don’t wanna be bothered

and sometimes, he doesn’t wanna be bothered

but sometimes he doesn’t care about that concept.

he will poke and pester at you if you do this challenge.

if you wake up and don’t say anything to him, he’ll yank you down to the bed and whine at you until you manage to squirm out of his arms and go to your own dorm room

he’ll stand right next to you during breakfast

and i mean he will always be standing next to you.

no matter how many times you move around the tables, he’ll somehow end up next to you

like ?? does he have super speed or something 😭

he will not tolerate you ignoring him

like not at all

during class if he cracks a few jokes and you don’t respond to them he’ll probably fake cry

“y/n, you’re making me feel very unmanly right now!”

you swear you didn’t know it would be this hard

he probably notices it’s a prank though when he’s walking next to you in the halls and you’re not even speaking to him, just staring forward

“ahh... you’re trying to play a little joke on me or something? well, we’ll see how long you keep that up!”

retorts to making you jealous the entire day.

hangs out with literally every girl, even the fucking invisible bitch

you can’t take it anymore when it nears 6pm and he asks uraraka to come back to his dorm and watch movies with him

being the amazing girlfriend you are, you get up, land in his lap, and cuddle up to him tightly

he grins at you, preppering you with kisses

“told you you wouldn’t last, y/n.”

ignoring your boyfriend for 24 hours challenge: failed.

y/n only lasted 11 hours.
