I want to save people

[pupperish]

Mha simultaneously having some of the best and some of the fucking worst abuse representation drives me insane. The way each member of the LoV's trauma and the ways they processed it was (in my opinion) so well made and tragic, just for Horikoshi to not redeem a single one and have all of them either die or go to jail in the bleakest fucking way possible.

[hatsunevita]

do you guys think that one day, after the war is over and he’s healed enough, bakugo just realises that fuck. he was dead. he was actually, legitimately dead and if anything had gone wrong he could’ve stayed dead forever.

and once he fully processes this thought he just can’t act casually anymore. cuz he keeps thinking that when they become pro heroes, death will always follow them waiting for them to fuck up. and if he just keeps waiting for god knows what he won’t be able to accomplish everything he wants.

i believe that after that realisation there will begin a whole new world for bkdk because bakugo doesn’t want to waste any time on stupid bickering and fighting anymore. right after he digests that thought he comes to izuku and suggests that they start a hero agency together after graduation because that’s how he wants it to be. because he’s not gonna be late to do what he wants anymore.

[rinsfujo]

i NEEDD MORE post-war recovery fics with bkdk. katsuki doing physical therapy. izuku going to Actual Therapy. nightmares and meeting up in each others dorms late at night bc izuku is scared katsuki’s heart will stop again. ugh. hurt/comfort post war bkdk you entice me you bewitch my heart and soul

[bakudekublogblog]

talking to normal people about mha is always so enlightening because someone told me they didn't like season six and i was like???? THE BIBLE??????? YOU DONT LIKE THE BIBLE??? BAKUGOU KATSUKI RISING?? THE APOLOGY??? THE CHASING AFTER HIM TO FIGHT SHIGARAKI, THE REVEAL KATSUKI HAS BEEN WORRIED ABOUT IZUKU, IZUKU'S FERAL RAGE WHEN KATSUKI IS STABBED, KATSUKI BEING THE ONE TO FIND IZUKU AND THEN THE ONE TO BRING HIM HOME??? YOU DONT ENJOY THE SACRED TEXTS?? and then i'm like oh right not everyone is a fujoshi high on that sweet, sweet bkdk yaoi

[imaginarylungfish]

we don't want izuku to be quirkless in the end blah blah blah, yeah i know. same.... but also, it could be cool.

imagine he still becomes a great hero, but quirkless? he's the first quirkless hero? and maybe that message is not one for mha to tackle, but hear me out:

what if his arc is him wanting so badly to have a quirk, getting one, learning that being a hero is inherent to himself and not attached to his quirk/abilities, giving his quirk up, AND still being a great hero? wouldn't that be awesome?!

i think that type of character trajectory is unique and interesting in and of itself. but i also know my personal experiences in life contribute to why i think it's cool. i became sick and chronically ill in my late-teens/early-twenties. i lost my health. over the past 5 years, i've regained a lot of it, but i'm not 100% better (and most likely will never be). i've had to go through the arduous process of accepting my physical limits through many iterations of functionality yet learning when i was actually being held back by mental limits/fears and how to push past those.

i relate to izuku's character on many levels: wanting so badly to have something i don't, trying so hard despite not having that thing, and getting that thing you wished so badly for seemingly out of the blue (for me, it was a medication that drastically improved my health). i also relate to his self-destructiveness in name of a goal and sense of (sometimes unwanted) martyrdom.

but i was always a little disappointed throughout the series in the fact that izuku's big problem at the beginning was just seemingly resolved by him getting his quirk from all might. does he view his quirkless self as worthy as his OFA self? we don't know. (do i view my sick self as worthy as my "healthy" self? i don't know.)

so, i just think, if izuku loses his quirk, there is more room for growth for him. in other words, he becomes more interesting. and i get it, this is a shonen manga, it's ending soon, and it's supposed to have an inspiring message (i assume). so maybe it ending with him being quirkless is not something that belongs in this category of manga/anime. but if any series can break the mold, isn't it mha?

[kuyenshino]

Aoyama was the only kid in 1-A class who was quirkless like Izuku, and now that Izuku knows about it and can connect with him deeply, Aoyama leaves.

Izuku saved the world but won nothing.

[eosphoria]

quirkless teacher izuku, running out on his class because kacchan got kidnapped again. And just because he's quirkless doesn't mean he's still not fearl and protective of kacchan.

No cuz imagine if Deku found his purpose in teaching, as a way to keep on going even if quirkless. And his selflessness and poor skills to take care of himself kick out even as a teacher. He does not miss a day in school, he'll go with a fever, with leftover pain from his old injuries. He'll be there no matter what because his students need him.

But one day at school he notices people murmuring and shushing when he passed by. He got antsy but he also paid no mind, there's too much to do!!!

Unless he hears one of the last year students say Dynamight's name. Izuku thinks he heard wrong. Maybe it was all might instead of him. And if it was all might, yes he would be worried, but he might just take some fruits and sweets to his hero and that's it.

But izuku's heart sinks, because the reaction of his students is too damn obvious and he seems almost apologetic. What is it. Please someone tell him what happened.

He never was as happy as right now for a "problem child" as aizawa called them, because she was brutally honest and told him that Dynamight has not been seen since his last mission, and the last radio communication they had with him, had clear noises of struggle and pain.

Izuku might not have OFA anymore. But something clearly ignited in him, and he was never this fast. Not even with a quirk. Cuz when he had it, he wasn't able to save katsuki.

Izuku had told his students, about how his journey as a hero started because of his body moving on his own. They had never seen it in person, because back then they were still little. But now classes had been stopped because of a raging green haired teacher running through the hallways to leave without a notice or word of any kind.

He tried calling Dynamight, he tried calling everyone that was on that mission. But dynamight's phone was the only one turned off, instead of beeping and going to voicemail.

He was frantic, unstoppable, until being tied by aizawa who had a mixture of annoyance and nostalgia to see his student, now coworker, acting like this. He thought for a second on how to get through this rabid man who was muttering to let him go, let him go to help him, let him go to...

"what can you even do? Do you have that little faith in him?"

Izuku was breathing so fast that he was breathless, he choked up and only could say no with his head while still trying to get out of aizawas grip.

Aizawa thought that his students couldn't see izuku like that, and he could not let him go home because the idiot would certainly go to find Bakugo so he tied him as tightly as he could and promised him to get in touch with dynamight's team so he could give any update to izuku.

Izuku was spiralling, for various reasons. He still had the memory of katsuki's corpse on the field. He felt lonely without OFA but now he felt helpless.

Where could he be. What is he doing.

Is he not going to be capable of ever helping or saving bakugo?

But aizawa was right, he had to have faith in him. He had to have faith in his hero, in the one who again and again has done amazing stuff and came thru the other end alive, even in the most ridiculous scenarios.

"he'll be fine, he'll be fine, please be fine" the muttering continued for hours.

It was now dark, and aizawa had not returned as he was also busy with his class and izuku's class. Deku was swaying himself, while tied up still, to calm himself a bit and wait for answers.

"where is he?!?" He heard, it was still low but soon enough it was a loud and strong voice that he recognized and made him choke up. Dynamight. "GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY WHERE THE FUCK IS HE." Dynamight was alive. Deku was not believing his ears though, he had to see him.

The students in their dorms were able to hear the screams, and were still very much confused after their teacher went missing for the entire day and now one of the pro heros was making a scene.

Deku tried to move but the hunger and emotional turmoil had gotten him exhausted and now he just wanted to bawl his eyes out.

But he finally saw him, the relief of hearing him had gone away. Dynamight was injured. Seriously injured. Not dead, wonderfully, but his suit was ripped. He was dirty with mud and blood, and had a slight limp to his movements. He had awful dark bags under his crimson eyes, that were still sparkling as they did when he used cluster. "Why were you calling? What the fuck happened and why did old aizawa had to tie you up? Answer me dammit"

What do you mean why was he calling, WHERE HAD HE BEEN. WHY IS HE IN THIS STATE. WHY HAD HE GONE MIA AND WHY COULD NO ONE GIVE HIM A FUCKING ANSWER.

But katsuki was too busy thinking that izuku needed him, and when he found out that this fucking nerd was searching for him, he spent the last bits of his energy in a sudden escapade throwing all their strategy and planning through the window. The villains were thankfully caught, but all of the evidence they needed had been destroyed because Blondie right here had decided to explode everything and anything to come over here.

Seems like they'll keep to misunderstand each other, and of course they didn't talk about this on their way home, as aizawa told them to deal with their fucking mess and leave him alone.

bakugou npd headcanon yap

p.s i wanna clarify i don't quite headcanon him as NPD 100% , i just thought this was interesting slight CW for mention of previous NPD ableism

When I was younger, dumber, and first getting into BNHA, I thought of Bakugou as a narcissist, since he was a dick and being a dick = having npd. (THIS IS SARCASM) Then later he had character development, and so did I after that, figuring out that NPD isn't evil-person disorder. But after researching NPD violently a few months ago, I'm realizing he does actually fit a good chunk of the criteria.

Superiority & inferiority complex at the same time? Pretty common in people with NPD. "better than everyone but still not good enough" thought process? NPD probably. Daydreaming or otherwise thinking about future success and fame? NPD. Lack of empathy? NPD. Hard time understanding other's feelings? NPD.

I thought this was kinda interesting- how I literally did a full 360. "dick = npd and hes a dick so he must have NPD" "oh hes not that big of a dick anymore, no npd" "actually npd isn't bad person disorder, that wasn't smart of me" "oh shit he actually does fit some of the criteria"

BKDK PTSD.

[vultureboi]

BkDk Short Story

T/W: non-descriptive nightmares, non-descriptive PTSD

Katsuki usually sleeps a full night, no problem. But for some reason (he’s not naming any names) but a certain someone has been waking him up in the middle of the night.

Which, Katsuki gets it. The nerd is scared. Even though the war is over, Katsuki died for a good amount of time and Izuku found his body. Of course Izuku was traumatized.

He constantly has nightmares about finding Katsuki dead, so at some point, it became routine for Izuku to sneak into Katsuki’s (conveniently unlocked) room while he’s sleeping.

Izuku will “sneak” into his room, crying quietly, curl up into beside him and rest his head on Katsuki’s calm heart. He works hard to keep his heartbeat steady.

Soft sobs escape until they quiet into soft hiccups and eventually quiet breathing. He falls asleep and clings to Katsuki.

When Katsuki’s alarm goes off in the morning, he pretends to slowly wake up, giving Izuku enough time to quickly skitter away, closing the door not so softly. Sometimes he likes to peek and see Izuku’s flushed face as he panics and rushes out the door clumsily.

During the day, Katsuki makes no sign that he knew Izuku was there the night before. He plays it cool. Even if he’s been getting less sleep, he’ll never admit it. Hell, at one point Izuku kept him up so long that he ended up getting dark circles and had to use makeup to hide it.

Though Katsuki will never admit it out loud, he will forever be there for Izuku. Even if it ruins his perfect sleep schedule. He’d do anything for Izuku.

Let's get this straight U.A. had a fifteen-year-old have a panic attack because of a traumatizing villain attack he went through and decided "LET'S PUT A MUZZLE ON HIM AND TIE HIM TO A CEMENT BLOCK!"

Like WHAT THE FUCK!?!

he s me I'm him

PTSD Rody Soul headcanons⬇️

So well, let's go over the criteria

Traumatic event

He had his silly lovely childhood and suddenly turned out his father was a betrayer. From now on, he had to deal with all of his problems on his own: take care of his siblings, protect them and himself from kidnappers or else, education, and shit. However, he (and Roro&Lala?) got beaten up. And also to mention, his mother, who he was probably attached to, died when he was about Lala's age, I guess, which traumatized him as well.

Avoiding — I guess all of us remember the cave scene and the moment when Rody finally opened up. "I don't need your pity" — he never felt this pity towards him. Scince his dad was gone, nobody ever really let him lean on them, nobody was here for him, and he got used to it, which is why he just couldn't accept Deku's support back then. He felt like if it was wrong.

Triggers / Flashbacks — when he and Deku stayed in the abandoned house/farm(?), he had a dream reminding him back on those days when he was young, and his dad was still by his style, making him feel safe. Those memories could also be recalled by the way Izuku cared for him no matter what. / To be honest, I doubt he told Roro and Lala about his quirk because it would make things complicated, as he hid his emotions and probably made sure his siblings won't ever feel bad about their life. And if I'm right, Izuku is the first and the only person who gets to know what Rody's quirk is. And we all know he's a fcking liar hiding his emotions, but also because he doesn't want people to see him.sad, upset, or else, so they won't try to talk to him about shit (as if anyone cared /j)

Negativity — thanks to Pino, we can see how mad Rody felt over Stenlyk's comment, just at the beginning of the film, and when he asked to check on the siblings as well. It's clear that his life is not nice and sweet and all, and yet, it's a peace of cake to make him feel annoyed. For example, when he blamed Izuku in the whole police-and-villian-chase after them
