#season 4-6 tomu is a lot more confident but he still has little to no experience with love hahahaha

Do you think tomura is the same way as touya in a sense that he builds walls up when he begins to feel something for someone? In my head i picture it exactly like flawless tomu like just raw and in your face and blunt af, but I know tomura also went through trauma so maybe his way is more being obsessive right off the bat?

no, i don’t! because their trauma is different, right? touya builds walls because it’s ‘safer’ to keep from letting people in at all, because then they cannot hurt him or leave him or disregard him the way his father did if they can’t get close to him in the first place. touya was abandoned, thrown away, betrayed. he’s terrified of that happening again, of having to go through that HURT again, that he’d rather just keep people on the outside to avoid there being any chance at all that it could happen again—even if it means he’s lonely and miserable as a result. being lonely and miserable is better than being hurt.

tomura, on the other hand, absolutely has trauma but it’s a different type of trauma (depending on where we are in the series; falling in love with tomura before he knows all of the truth abt what afo did to him (aka right before he fucking dies) would be very different than falling in love with tomura after he learns about afo’s betrayal and manipulation).

canon tomura is secluded and sheltered, and he’s initially very entitled, childish, and bratty. he is not well socialized and he probably hasn’t been taught much about having and maintaining relationships (or even having a crush; he’s so inexperienced with PEOPLE as a whole). if it’s tomura who has a crush on you then yes, i think he’d be pretty much exactly like flawless tomu once he actually realizes what these feelings are—i think that, at first, these feelings would be so new and so unfamiliar that he wouldn’t really understand what’s even going on inside his chest, and he’ll either snap at you because you stir up these uncomfortable and scary feelings, or he’ll lean into them even more (and become kind of clingy) because he likes the feelings and you make him feel Good. i do think he would also be super obsessive fairly quickly as well (just as flawless tomura is!) because 1. he’s used to getting and owning whatever he wants whenever he wants it, and 2. you make him feel Good, so why would he ever let that go? ANYWAY HEHEHE these are just my personal thoughts n opinions (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)
