Jaskier:

*Geralt and Jaskier capturing someone who tried to assassin Geralt*

Geralt: I should kill you for trying to kill me. But if I do, I'll be a monster just like you. I'm better than that.

Jaskier: I'm not. Gimmie the dagger.

the two genders, but it's [dream smp war] animatic:

- "eret, eret listen to me and I mean this in the nicest way possible: you fucked up"

- "white flags! i wanna see white flags outside your base by tomorrow, at dawn or you are DEAD!"

Im the scene where techno's hair gets cut and dream's mask breaks

[korabelnayapesnya]

So I need to say this somewhere

On this page

Bakugou is acknowledging Deku and his importance as All Might's successor, a OFA wielder. Acknowledging him as a strong hero that he promised he'll become. He recognizes that Izuku needs to survive, he has to live to defeat AFO, to become the next Symbol of Peace. He has to save Deku so that Deku, they can win. This is already huge for Bakugou. He's grown a lot and he shows it. He organized a plan of attack on Shigaraki and is trying to help Deku now.

But then, this page

This page is the one where he sees it. He sees that something went wrong, I'm pretty sure he's acting fully on instinct here. AFO overtook Shigaraki's body and is about to strike and he sees it. He only has so much time to react and he reacts. And when he's launching himself at Deku what he thinks about is not their mutual admiration for All Might, or the fact that Deku is the Chosen one and has to live, or the fact that he's the wielder of OFA.

What he thinks about is all of their times together. Not just the times he bullied Deku and which he felt bad for. He thinks of their peaceful times of exchanging combat advice, thinks about how he was vulnerable with Deku that time at Ground Beta, thinks about charging into battle with him side by side and fighting together. In that split second he doesn't think of why Izuku has to live. He thinks of why he wants Izuku to live. Why he wants to save him. No underlying purpose. Not because they need Izuku to win. This isn't a "save to win". He just wants to see this person live, this boy who he wanted to make his amends to, who he owed his life to, who he wanted to protect. He just wants to save Deku.

There was nothing.

His body just moved on its own.

are there non childish reasons people don't want to see Bakugou's hero name be Kacchan or is it only that

- it threatens your otp

- it doesn't sound cool enough

- you don't see the underlying meaning in it becoming his hero name and how it shows that he's grown as a person and as a friend to Izuku

i swear on the name of god’s green earth IF KATSUKI’S HERO NAME IS KACCHAN-

bakudekus: yes we won but at what cost?

i knew i had to draw that bakugou panel as soon as i saw it 🧡❤💛

His kacchan smile is so precious

[korabelnayapesnya]

WAIT WAIT ME TOO ME TOO @bakugou-simp​

So what I said about the parallels between Deku and All Might, how he pushed away Sir Nighteye, trying to take on the world all by himself? Tell me that’s not what Deku is doing right now! He wanted to be just like All Might all his life, he definitely picked it up from him. We know how that ended between All Might and Nighteye:

We love to point out the similarities between Katsuki and Endeavor, how witnessing what he’s come to, Kacchan decided to, y’know, not be like that. But Deku witnessed this too

and also this

He doesn’t realise what his recklessness and self-sacrificing tendencies will bring him. He wants to be as great as All Might but what he needs is to be better than All Might. Now that Kacchan is back in his life for real, back to being by his side, does he really want to lose this?

He needs to realise that no matter how much power was thrown on him, no matter how much responsibility, he can’t do it all by himself. And that he doesn’t have to.

I?? No wonder Bakugou is worried about Deku. He's seen that guy nearly kill himself for one person. He knows that to save someone Deku would do anything he had to, even if that means giving up his own life.

I'm not sure I'd want to become attached to someone who would do that.

I mean you can't blame him from keeping his distance? Knowing that someone you've come to love doesn't think about their own safety or how their death would impact those that care about them, that's gotta mess with you.

Deku gets so lost in saving lives that he forgets his own is just as important, and while I admire that and think that it's really a heroic thing, I couldn't be his friend without constantly worrying how long I'd get to keep him, when he's already given his life to those around him.

Can't say I wouldn't do the same, though.

[korabelnayapesnya]

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me thinking Bakugou's hero name will be Kacchan:

[korabelnayapesnya]

This is the “Kacchan just complimented me” smile and it is filled with immeasurable amounts of blessed bkdk energy

[korabelnayapesnya]

this is what I've been feeling lately put into words. Deku is actually, genuinely, canonically the only person that has explicitly shown any type of concern or care for Kacchan. like. how come no-one ever brings this up.

I’ve been thinking about the Sludge Villain attack again. It stays on my mind a lot, and I think that’s because it exemplifies on of the important yet often overlooked facet of Katsuki’s character.

Katsuki Bakugou, is not allowed to make mistakes. He is not allowed to be weak.

It’s not just that he doesn’t allow himself to make mistakes, it’s not just that he’s a perfectionist by nature, or even that he has a parent holding him to impossible standards. Those things all might be true too, but it’s deeper than that. It’s a universal truth, save for when Izuku gets involved. And that Sludge Villain shows that to the reader in Chapter 1. 

See, Katsuki and Izuku were both attacked by the Sludge Villain. Yet their experiences that day are as different as day and night.

Izuku, when he was attacked by the Sludge Villain, was weak. Obviously. He’s a 14 year old, and nobody should expect him to be able to fight off any adult trying to murder him, let alone one with super powers. And nobody did. Izuku was saved within seconds. He recalls the experience as painful, but it was extremely brief, and All-Might was right there to help him. He waited for Izuku to get back up and asked him if he was okay afterwards.

Katsuki, when he was attacked by the Sludge Villain, was not allowed to be weak. All-Might was not there to save him seconds after he was attack. Nobody was there to save him. If Katsuki hadn’t fought back, if he hadn’t been strong enough at age 14 to fight a fully fledged adult with super powers, if he’d paused, if he’d made a mistake, he would be dead. Plain and simple.

It is not a short period either, Katsuki is fighting right after All-Might drops the villain. After that point, Izuku and All-Might have their talk, Izuku walks down the stairs of the building they’re on, and he walks for quite a ways before he happens upon the scene. In that same time, 6 or 7 heroes have shown up on the scene, a crowd forms to watch, police have arrived, and a TON of damage has been done from the resulting fight. It’s never stated how long it is, but given all that happens in the middle, I honestly think it must’ve been 20-30 minutes of Katsuki fighting. 20-30 minutes of a 14 year old fighting for his life, where if he is weak, he will die.

Heroes show up, but none of them are there to save Katsuki. They see him, with his quirk, with his struggle, see that he is a child, and they bank on him holding out rather than doing anything themselves. Even the crowd knows he’s a middle schooler. The heroes knew. They knew the sludge villain was trying to kill Katsuki. They knew, and they stood there, and they assumed he’d be strong enough on his own.

All-Might got there before Izuku. He saw. He knew too. He stood there, and he watched for however long (a minute? five? ten?) as a child was strangled in front of him. He stood there and watched as Katsuki fought for his life, and he did nothing.

Everyone else did nothing. They watched, and they assumed Katsuki would be strong. They forced Katsuki to be strong. The universe forced Katsuki to be strong.

Everyone else, except for Izuku. Who saw Katsuki as human, as weak, as desperately needing help and who tried to help him.

It was a bad idea for Izuku to get involved. He wasn’t able to do anything against the sludge villain, besides maybe buy Katsuki a minute at most. It was a mistake, one that almost killed him.

But the difference between Izuku and Katsuki is that Izuku is allowed to make mistakes. So All-Might, who had stood by and watched before, jumps in and saves them. Katsuki wasn’t enough on his own to warrant saving. He was not allowed to be weak. He was forced to be strong, and be strong, and be strong, until finally Izuku arrived and only then was he finally allowed to be weak.

Afterwards, Katsuki is offered no comfort. His strength is praised, and that’s it. He is not asked if he is okay. He is not given any medical treatment that we see. He’s allowed to walk home alone afterwards. He is left to walk home alone afterwards. To handle the aftermath alone.

Izuku Midoriya was attacked by the sludge villain and he was saved within seconds. He was weak, he was a child, and he was fine. There was someone there to save him right away.

Katsuki Bakugou was attacked by the sludge villain, and he was forced to fight for his life. He was not allowed to be weak, to be a child. If he had been, he would’ve been dead. Only one person came to save him, and only after he’d fought for his own life through immense pain and danger. The only person whose ever come to save him.

We see this reoccurring theme constantly throughout the series. Even Katsuki’s quirk, which he’s had since he was four, is a quirk that does not allow for mistakes. If Izuku lost control of himself when he was 5 or 6 or 7, he might’ve left someone with a nasty bruise. If Katsuki lost control of himself when he was 5 or 6 or 7, he could’ve killed someone. Easily. It would’ve only taken moments. Even if he wasn’t angry, even if he was happy, and his mind just slipped and a spark set something off, that’s all it would’ve taken. That’s it.

Katsuki is kidnapped, and it happens again. Heroes show up, but they don’t save him. They restrain the villains, sure, but nobody evacuates the hostage, the civilian, the child, to safety. They had heroes to spare, and nobody even tells Katsuki to exit the building, to get himself to a safer location. The heroes are there to fight the villains, not to save him. As a result, Katsuki is teleported out of the bar and forced to fight for his life again. Against 7 fully fledged villains this time. Even when the others show up, even when Izuku comes yet again (with help this time), and once more moves to save Katsuki, Izuku’s plan relies on Katsuki going to them. It relies not on them saving Katsuki, but on Katsuki saving himself. If Katsuki hadn’t been strong enough to fight 7 villains alone, if he hadn’t flown high enough to grab Kirishima’s hand, if he’d made any mistakes, that would’ve been it.

Afterwards, he’s offered no comfort we see. He’s called weak for having been kidnapped at all, he’s blamed for All-Might’s fall, and he’s left alone to handle the fallout. He’s forced to be strong once more. Again and again.

Katsuki isn’t just someone who hates being weak, or won’t let himself be weak. He’s someone that isn’t allowed to be weak. If he was, he’d be dead, plain and simple. It’s not just expectations he’s put upon himself, it’s what’s required of him to stay alive. Everyone but Izuku expects it of him, they require it from him, and it’s not until Izuku steps in that anything changes, and so often that intervention only comes after Katsuki has withstood so much more than should ever be asked of a child.

Katsuki Bakugou is strong, incredibly, incredibly so, but is he strong because he wanted to be? Or is he strong because his only other option was death? Because he was never allowed to be anything else?

[korabelnayapesnya]

And, get this! We know for a fact what Katsuki feels about the possibility of losing Deku! Here's his face when Deku's charging into battle evidently blinded by anger

Look at him! He's worried sick, it's devastating

I don’t think anyone’s death would hit Deku as hard as Bakugou’s. He’d be devastated if anything happened to anyone in his life, whether they be a close friend or stranger. But there’s devastation that he can make it through, and something so much deeper that has the potential to break a part of him. 

In canon, I feel it’s likely that All Might is going to die. All Might means the world to Izuku, Inko has gone as far as to say that he’s Izuku’s reason for living. It’s obvious that All Might’s death would absolutely destroy Izuku, and break a part of him almost beyond repair. But I feel him and All Might would have closure somehow, and at least All Might’s life, while shorter than it should have been, had a big impact on the world and he was proud to hand things off to his successor. Izuku will struggle immensely, but he can come out and still be strong, still be himself. I also think if All Might dies, Bakugou has a chance in playing a role of helping Izuku to overcome it, because the two of them would share in this grief considering the inspiration that All Might was to Bakugou as well. 

All Might seems, on the surface, like he could be the most devastating loss for Izuku, but I think that losing Bakugou would actually be the one thing to screw him up beyond repair. Bakugou is as much of a driving force for Izuku as All Might, perhaps even more, considering his statement that he may have looked up to All Might, but Bakugou was the person actually in his life. The one that he saw firsthand challenge others and come out on top. His Symbol of Victory. Someone he’s been tied to since he was a little kid, through good and bad. Izuku may dislike parts of Bakugou, and have a complicated relationship with him, but the two are connected deeply, and Izuku always looks to him for inspiration. And as their relationship starts to improve, Izuku counts it as one of the main reasons he feels so blessed in his life. If Bakugou died, if Izuku failed to save him, I don’t think anyone would be able to console him. Because Izuku always expects Bakugou to be there beside him, and if he’s not… would Izuku be able to become the same symbol he’s supposed to? Could he maintain hope? 

I still don’t think Bakugou will actually die in the series, cause it wouldn’t make sense for a lot of reasons, but it’s heartwrenching to consider how Izuku would react to that sort of thing.

[korabelnayapesnya]

The best part about this whole thing is imagining what Deku’s reaction is going to be when he finds out 

Like will he cry? Will he just smile very sweetly? Will he look at Katsuki with an understanding in his eyes and nod? WILL HE GIVE HIS “KACCHAN” SMILE??? 

I can and can’t imagine at the same time

“what purpose does our strength serve?” or, what Bakugou Katsuki learned from Endeavor

hey guys! so in chapter 252 of BnHA, Bakugou finally settled on a hero name! this is a pretty big deal because, as a certain MIA and hopefully-not-deceased human embodiment of a 2012 Lana Del Rey single once put it,

so, you know, no big. it’s only the culmination of basically his entire redemption arc. it’s not like I’m obsessed with it or anything. it’s not like I’ve written multiple essays about it, and am about to write another 4,000 word post analyzing everything that’s led us to this point, and everything that happened in the most recent arc that led to this epiphany of his, and my reasoning for what I think the name is most likely going to be.

and obviously all of that is just lies on top of lies because that’s exactly what I fucking did.
