i know people will think i’m delusional when i say this and that’s fair, i guess. but as someone with a degree in media criticism and as a queer person who has taken the time to understand the ways our oppression and *suppression* manifests, but it is just obvious to me that midoriya and bakugo were intended to be canonically in love and the story is censored *just enough* to make us ambiguous to most. i could be write a whole essay on it, but it’s clear through constant repeated symbolism AND literal interactions that they are in love and end up together in the end. everyone talks about “how are they not canon” but no one talks about how maybe they ARE in love but they can’t be “””explicitly””” because of homophobia. idk just some of my thoughts…

They probably haven't realized it themselves yet, but the class revolves around a certain pair.

SHOTA AIZAWA TALKING ABOUT IZUKU AND KATSUKI, CHAPTER 106

Two boys and their happily ever after.

Part of the exhibition merch. It clearly shows that Katsuki started the "good luck" chain in the war that was shown in izk rising chapter (unfortunately, in the manga the eng translator for whatever reason chose "give him hell" instead). anyway, read the description in the tweet. "connecting his feelings to izuku" love how they worded it 😭

No wonder Kacchan started going up in the rankings when he works with "other heroes" 🫢🫢

BUT MY IDEA OF VICTORY IS SO TIED TO THE IMAGE OF YOU I HAVE IN MY HEAD

[bakudeku]

whats your favorite outfit bakugou has worn in the manga?

How dare you

HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE?

HOW COULD I POSSIBLY CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS SKULL/PUNISHER T-SHIRT FORESHADOWING HIS "DEATH"

AND HIS LOUD FUCKING FANTASTIC COMBAT BOOTS HE WORE WITH HIS SPORTS UNIFORM

AND THE GUNS AND AMMO HE WEARS AS FASHION ACCESSORIES

AND HIS SLUTTY FANTASY CROP JACKET THAT EXISTS SOLELY TO KEEP HIS NIPPLES WARM

HOW COULD I POSSIBLY

i find it so funny when other people get mad about how IZUKU feels about Katsuki. Like, I've seen people before say shit like how Izuku should have rejected Katsuki's apology, should stop calling him Kacchan, and treat the rejection in 431 like some kind of vindication where Izuku got to finally say "fuck you" to Katuski.

But like- when has Izuku EVER had anything but admiration for Katsuki?? Sure, I definitely agree at some points Izuku had complicated feeling towards him, but since the very beginning Izuku understood Katsuki's anger came from his insecurity and even then Katsuki was still engrained into Izuku's brain as a symbol of victory. Even BEFORE the apology Izuku based his hero moves off of Katsuki, named himself Deku despite the ties it had to Katsuki, showed up to ground Beta for the Deku vs. Kacchan pt 2 fight, let Katsuki sit in on his meetings with All Might- I coud go on.

Like, i understand you as a audience member potentially wanting the vindication of a "bully" (even though Katsuki is something much deeper than that-) character getting push back, but Izuku NEVER wanted that. Katsuki was someone he always saw as an equal or as above him, he admired Katsuki and felt connected to him, his dream was never vengeance on Katsuki it was for Katsuki to be able to process his feeling in a healthier way and overcome his insecurity. YOU can have your opinions on what should have happened to Katsuki, but do not project those onto Izuku, cause from the very beginning Izuku adored Katsuki, and more importantly, understood why Katsuki did the things he did and acted the way he acted.

Late to the party but the way you draw Katsuki in costume with the smudgy eyeliner and cocky smirk will for sure be my undoing

Thank you so so much, anon!! Honestly, it will always be my favourite thing to draw. And please accept this Kacchan who is judging me for taking so long to see this.
