Dyslexia and Dysgraphia with Balloon

after having done Hopefully enough research, i would like to propose that balloon has phonological dyslexia (the common type of dyslexia) and linguistic dysgraphia. this isn’t very long, just an explanation of a headcanon i enjoy :) also i use she/her for balloon in this but pronouns are irrelevant to these diagnoses, i just prefer to refer to balloon this way.

so let’s start with a Classic. multiple times in the series, balloon misinterprets “flour” to mean “flower”. she is struggling to decode the word “flour” and differentiate it from “flower”, leaning on the phonetic pronunciation that seems more logical to her. this is an issue with homophone confusion rather than difficulty spelling an irregular word, which is why i chose phonological dyslexia to explain this (i considered surface dyslexia for a while). i also disregarded audio processing disorder because there is more evidence to balloon struggling to read and write than there is to her struggling to process spoken words, meaning that the mix-up here can be explained with phonological dyslexia.

there are more examples of her having trouble with forming words based on their sounds. this problem follows her into the way she writes. her graffiti in breaking the ice is a great example of her words being spelled incorrectly and very literally. “dident” has an e added to it to replicate the pronunciation, and “doo” and “stoopid” are both misspellings of familiar words.

for this, i chose linguistic dysgraphia (aka dyslexic dysgraphia, but i find the term “linguistic” easier to use). as you can see here, she has bouts of random capitalisation such as the D at the end of “stoopid” (also an example of problems with consistent letter sizing) and the way her sentence becomes all caps after writing her name (“BallooN DIDENT DOO THIS”). her handwriting is poor and her sentence is disorganized, with strange margins at the beginning of her line breaks. i decided on linguistic dysgraphia rather than spatial or motor dysgraphia for the fact that her handwriting and letter sizing improves significantly when she’s focusing, and that she has no trouble drawing. observe underneath.

this page is a great example of improved but still impaired writing. her handwriting is easier to read, but a lot of this is still written in all caps (a strategy sometimes used by dysgraphics who have trouble with lowercase letters or the varied sizing of capitals). the letter sizing changes noticeably from sentence to sentence (“HEY OJ!~” is a lot larger than the words surrounding it) but it doesn’t change much within the same words anymore, such as in her graffiti. the organisation of words on the page, however, is quite messy. she leaves large chunks of space in random areas and writes different sentences all over the page. this indicates difficulty planning written language, common with linguistic dysgraphia. as mentioned earlier, she has no significant trouble drawing, which we can observe with these doodles. overall, this is much better and shows that she was focusing on this page, but there are still issues with writing that we can infer.

thanks for reading 🫶 this required a Lot more research than i expected but i had fun

i just read your post on the “one for all couldnt keep you in the ground” line the other day and LOVED it, but i just saw an image from the eng volume release and they did indeed revise it! it now says “one for all couldnt handle you alone… so i’m here to step in and finish the job!”

i think overall this is kinda the best of both worlds? after reading your analysis, i wish they kept the “we”, but otherwise the callback to the previous times he said the line is stronger now and the “finish the job” at the very end as a punch is very cool and strong! would love to hear your thoughts!

tumblr user frogiwi you have made my fucking day

thank you. thank you so much for this ask.

Let me just say: I argued first and foremost that both singular and plural readings of Katsuki's pronoun are valid. I felt compelled to defend a "we" reading because everyone wanted to shit on it and dismiss it for various reasons, and I felt that was unfair and discounted the importance of the kocchi pronoun specifically.

I'm not sorry for defending it, because it meant I got to express a lot of things I have wanted to say about Japanese and languages in general. In doing so, I also got to relive Katsuki's journey to belonging in that "we," and that meant a lot to me. I hope it meant a lot to some of you, as well. It makes me really happy to hear you were swayed by my perspective.

I'm not bothered by this singular reading. I also argued that the leaker's "I'm the guy" isolated Katsuki in a way that a simple "I'm" would not, and this is a perfect example of that.

The main mitigating factor here is "alone."

Looking at my translation alternatives--

You can see that I tried to include "handle," "here to step in," and "alone" in some combination; the first two achieve most direct callback, but "alone" refers both to Katsuki's 323 "handle it all alone" and it emphasizes the collective.

Because exactly as I said, Katsuki talks about One For All (and by extension, Izuku) like it's a weapon in their collective arsenal, and if its firepower alone ain't enough, then Katsuki PERSONALLY is a bomb ready to go off for the cause. Izuku and Katsuki are in this together.

One thing I trimmed from my lengthy post about 405 is that kocchi is sometimes used in ways that feel smug, petty, or sarcastic, like "hahaha I'm on THIS SIDE and you're not, loser! neener neener!" I tried to express it by saying that Katsuki is rubbing it in AFO's face that he and Izuku both belong to something greater than themselves, but there really is a layer to it that's like Mirio's "you've never had any friends!" burn on Shigaraki. This revision captures that energy.

You said it best, friend. This is the best of both worlds.

"One For All couldn't keep you in the ground" was fucking metal, but in the end, I am truly happy to have a loud and clear callback to Katsuki's promise to Izuku.

Sophie should've been allowed to have one really random talent (like making balloon animals or something) and it's the one thing the Black Swan didn't give her so she's really proud of it and her hype squad (Biana, Biana, Dex, Biana, and Keefe) go wild over it
