It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.

who are you to refuse help from the morally imperfect, like it matters? do you think this is how solidarity works? do you think it is only correct to be uplifted by arms you’ve pre-approved?

Mitsuki has mom strength, which is the cooler version of dad strength. She can definitely still pick up her teenage babies. Source: just trust me I have a 50 yr old mom with muscles and she doesn't even work out

Summary: “Izuku Midoriya knows he can push past this. He can train harder, study longer, be a better friend. He knew what he was signing up for when he chose to be a hero and applied to UA. It is supposed to be difficult, but he can do this. Why can’t he do this?Or: 5 times Izuku’s classmates realize that Midoriya is pushing himself a little too hard and the 1 time he finally admits it’s okay to take a break.”

Summary: “He opens the bag on the floor to see what could have been left in there– and promptly freezes, staring at the contents inside.
“Midoriya.” He calls.
“Hm?”
“You bought our hero merch?”

Aka, Class 1-A starts to see themselves appear on merchandise in their local stores. Todoroki tries not to buy things, and fails.”

Summary: “you know in chapter 204 of the manga when it mentions iida tenya just casually tore off his engines?? that’s pretty metal, but dang that has gotta hurt and dang is it weird that nobody really commented on it-
If you rip out your engines, they will grow back. Stronger. Better.
He needs to be both stronger and better.
So he lets out a rare curse and tugs at it again, sharply. He’s trembling and gasping; he exhales slowly, unsteadily, trying to calm himself down. When he drops the engine, the engine that was a part of him all but seconds ago, he’s not sure if it’s on purpose or not, because his hands are shaking so violently.
anyways this is hurt/comfort with dekusquad interactions!! and friendship! yay!! this was originally going to be pure angst but,, i just want good things for iida & all of them :’)
there’s some violence at the beginning (iida tearing out his engines) but it’s brief, and i tried not to go into too much detail- still, be safe!”

Summary: “ In which Aizawa attempts to teach Izuku how to use various battle tactics and it goes just about as well as you’d expect. At least Shinsou is there with his fantastic commentary. ”

Summary: “Izuku doesn’t know why the day keeps resetting. He doesn’t know why he’s trapped on campus, or why there’s no phone reception, or why Aizawa and Shinsou keep losing their memories of the Saturdays they’ve already lived, while Izuku remains constantly, painfully aware.
But he does know this: Aizawa and Shinsou keep dying, over and over again, in more brutal and creative ways. And it’s his job to save them.”

Summary: “The blonde kid steps around Hitoshi like he isn’t even there. “Oh, man,” he says, in on some cosmic joke that the rest of them are shamefully unaware of. “Guys, look who it is.”
The line of Midoriya’s shoulders goes taut as a wire. “Hi,” he says, but he’s got his face angled down, not quite meeting the other kid’s eyes.
Like he’s waiting for something terrible to happen.
As it turns out, Midoriya has more in common with him than Hitoshi ever realized.”

I'm so upset. I just want to be left alone for sometime. But i can't and don't want to abandon my responsibilities.
I wish for a place where time would stop, and I could express my grief to no one but myself, then come back just fine.
I've been craving this since past 2.5 years! Man tf. I'm so pathetic.
I wanna start afresh. I'm so sorry

Practice who you want to be. Show up as that person on a daily basis. Do they wake up early to prioritize a healthy breakfast and a workout before the day starts? Do they have discipline for hard tasks? Are they consistent in dedicating a certain amount of time to their dreams? The only difference between who you want to be and who you are right now is the action in between the two. Start acting like you already have what you want, there’s no choice but to achieve what you want when you are already living like it’s yours.

I’ve always imagined that Katsuki will grow to be a stoic man. I’ve always imagined that he will face a reckoning when he becomes a pro - when he loses for the first time. Like, really loses. When he’s fighting like a sonofabitch to save a kid from a building before it collapses. And he goes home after the fact, and it’s quiet. He’s alone.
There are no reporters or helicopters flying overhead. No one is screaming. There are no villains to blast into next week, no more paperwork to fill out, none of his annoying ass friends around to clap his shoulder with sad smiles on their faces and contrived one-liners about being strong and better luck next time.
There is only him. Alone. But not so quiet anymore.
He’s so hard on himself y’all. He starts in on the what if game, hearing his mother’s voice telling him, once again, how weak he is. Those old tapes playing on repeat “like it’s constantly on loop” inside of his head. He should’ve gotten there faster. He should’ve defeated the enemy sooner. He should’ve been able to hold that entire fucking building up all by himself.
That’s the monumental pressure he puts on himself, the impossibly high standard he holds himself to. Katsuki Bakugou, Perfectionist. He should have that shit trademarked and printed on business cards.
But as a hero, losing is something he has to learn to accept. And he does, in time.
He’s not omnipotent. Willful, yes. Dogged, yes. Obstinate and stubborn, gods help you, YES. But he’s not invincible.
He’s not going to win every single time. Everybody knows: you win some, you lose some.
Sooner rather than later, because he’s a quick learner, he makes peace with himself.
He heals and understands that his worth as a hero, his worth as a man is not contingent upon his ability or lack thereof to win every single battle. Rather, it’s in his resilience and his drive to keep fighting even if he fucking loses. To get right back up and take it like a man instead of beating himself up and engaging in the negative self-talk or letting his pride and ego determine his worth. To silence the old tapes and say, “You’re wrong, Ma.” Not with anger, but with matter-of-fact certitude and conviction because he’s right about this.
Katsuki - he wins the war.
He becomes a better man. Exercising patience and deep-breathing techniques is part of his strength training regimen now. He builds strength of character just as hard as he hits the weights.
This is the Katsuki I’m married to.
I can not accept the possibility that he’ll never be this man in canon. I staunchly refuse. He has the heart of a lion and the passion of a war god. Fuck canon. In my heart, he is indestructible. I love him endlessly and will never let him die. I’ll write him harder. I’ll go to war with my king and I’ll write him how he should be written because that’s what he fucking deserves.
Long live the king.
