Shipping as a term is so inextricably tied to fandom activities like that’s playing with action figures to me and doesn’t rlly have to do with a general reading of a manga

Hhhh bnha 419… Deku has given this fight everything he has. What happens next is literally out of his hands.

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

… in the Grandpa Torino AU, Izuku 100% calls All Might ‘Weak Man’ as a kid cause he keeps beating the guy up. And like yeah it’s mostly the man letting him but holy shit is this kid Feral as fuck. Gran loves it and records everything.

He’s moved in with his daughter after her husband fucked off (and Gran tracked him down to kick his ass) and he loves it. It’s how he gets All Might to babysit so much being on site. Inko finds it funny, and goes about her day as normal.

All Might who once had a bite that took three weeks to heal from Izuku knows that kid is going to be a hero one day. He’s kind of proud and feels a bit of vindication. A Quirkless hero. Finally.

Inko did worry about it for like five seconds then found her dad teaching Izuku where to but to cause maximum pain. She decided her son would make it.

extremely questionable methodology but i compiled all the dialogue spoken between Shigaraki and Deku starting from when Shigaraki breaks out of AFO’s control in Chapter 379 up to Chapter 412.

(There are chapters where they appear but do not speak. Those are the chapter numbers.)

The takeaway is that Shigaraki is extremely chatty! A lot of it is taunts, but Shigaraki’s also revealing a lot of stuff about his plans and his opinions.

Deku does not seem as interested in returning the conversation, however. Whenever he does speak, it’s less in response to any of the content of Shigaraki’s chatter, and more heroic statements of intent. (The ‘you’re still human’ is the only direct refutation, I think.)

To be fair, his focus is all on surviving Shigaraki’s attacks. Nearly all his internal thoughts are strategy - combining a quirk with this quirk, how exactly he can physically stop Shigaraki. Additionally, before Chapter 410, he was probably too worried about All Might; while for most of Chapter 412, he was asphyxiating. Hard to chat when so much shit is happening.

And you can argue Shigaraki is just Villain monologuing. Deku doesn’t have to pay attention to anything he says - a lot which are, after all, taunts - he doesn’t have to engage with Shigaraki’s dumb rants.

His goal is to save Shigaraki/The Crying Child, and only that - not like talking or asking questions about anything or responding is required for that.

All might, who told quirkless izuku midoriya he couldn’t be a hero without a quirk and then gave him one, who gave society his all until he had nothing left, lost a friend over his devotion to the job and struggled with retirement and feeling useless both as a teacher and as a mentor, who has even his closest friend doubting his ability to do it, is now fighting the greatest, most dangerous villain in history, who also killed nana shimura, with a suit that is more of a support item than a superhero outfit, that he made with all the things his students taught him while he was teaching them, made by a quirkless girl that is part of the family that he chose, that he carried with him everywhere, waiting for the moment when he can, once again, help his successor in the fight of one for all and all for one.

At last, the prediction that lost him his friendship with nighteye might come true, and the world is once again going to witness toshinori yagi in his final moments, always smiling and always standing strong, so they know that now that he’s here everything is going to be fine.

I’ve begun to realize that my favorite character dynamic is “absolutely insane about each other and their mutual best friend/in a qpr with”

Izuku midoryia enters pussy withdraw 2024

IM CRYING WHY

My man has not interacted with a woman in a year I think he’s been having pussy withdrawal for longer than 2024

[problemswithbooks]

So, I guess afo is dead, and all I can say is, well I feel better about Stain's death now. Not because the guy who killed him died, but because unless something more happens later afo was really unnecessary for this arc--just like stain was.

I understand hori wanting to give the big bad a backstory and all might and bakugou a good fight, but besides that afo was just time sink. I think there were ways to get similar results without afo being around that would have worked better.

It's just weird that so close to the end of the story it re-hyped afo as the big bad that needed stopped, then to have him accomplish nothing. Then turn around and be like 'well, back to shigaraki now'.

It really feels like we should have gotten the afo defeat/death sooner and then focus could be put back on shigaraki and the liv.

This final arc has felt really disjointed so far, and I have a sinking suspicion that by the end it'll feel like half of what happened and what characters were used was uneeded.

Reblogged a post on my main about how fandom sometimes forgets what’s a headcanon and what’s actually canon and it got me thinking about Aizawa’s characterization, specifically in relation to Class 1-A and how “dadzawa” just gets on my fucking nerves.

I think in general Aizawa isn’t someone who’s willing to step outside the bounds of a proper student-teacher relationship, he’s much more likely to remain aloof with a strict no-nonsense teaching style like what was seen in the first few U.A. arcs. I think it was simply external circumstance and the fact that Class 1-A is a bunch of bonkers wild high schoolers that made him take a step up from his usual style and offer more emotional support to the kids later down the line. He’s trained as a Pro Hero and a teacher, two jobs which require both mental fortitude and compassion for others, and Class 1-A just happens to be a group of students he meshed well with in the beginning, and as the series went along and things became more intense he recognized when those kids needed emotional support as well, but I don’t think it ever really crossed the line from how a teacher or hero would care for them vs how a parent would. I’m also willing to bet most of the kids whose families we haven’t seen are already fairly emotionally supportive. I don’t think very many of them are actively looking for a pseudo-parental replacement in Aizawa to begin with.

This isn’t to say I think all “dadzawa” fics or headcanons should be razed to the ground I just think people sometimes read an adult genuinely caring about a child under their care and protection and turn off their brains and close their eyes and slap the “dad/mom” label onto them far too often. Aizawa has Eri and while I think her story was also dropped too soon for as much emotional weight and narrative potential she has, I like to think she was his first real step into fully taking care of a kid who looks to him for support in all aspects of her life that he can’t just keep at arm’s length or be his normally-strict and coldly logical personality around.

You can add nuance to character relationships and personalities while also not straying from their core principles it doesn’t hurt I promise

If I see someone say that Asta is just a cheap copy of Deku, that’s how I know they watched both shows with their eyes closed and they’re talking from their ass

[malewifetouya]

Pain. Agony, even.

[sashimiyas]

what are some red flag of a guy who names their dog deku?

[haleigh-sloth]

Honestly don’t feel Deku Is going Beserk that a too obvious direction sadness yes anyone will be sad and he probably get a sense something bad just happen but I feel we are missing a flashback cause I think hori has a very specific vision of how he wants to handle shigAFO with all 5 i didn’t expect allmight and Deku was never going to waver he was so sure had chapter 305 never happen then yes but now there something we are missing

I’m sure we’re missing something yeah

And I’m not even convinced Midoriya will get there before Bakugo wakes up

The story is obviously keeping him and Shigaraki apart for a reason, and I’m not convinced original body AFO won’t find Midoriya first and mess with him before he can get to Shigaraki.

Not because I think AFO will be defeated before Shigaraki, because he definitely will not. But because Midoriya and AFO have had very little interaction, and that fact combined with the recent jump cover featuring the two of them is pretty foretelling that they WILL.

And I think that will/should happen before Midoriya sees the state Shigaraki is in.

And to top that off, Bakugo isn’t dead. He’s not staying dead, for fucks sake. And I don’t expect him to stay in that state for too long, because then if the story wants to maintain a LITTLE bit of physical human anatomy logic (which it does), then Bakugo really would die. So I expect him to pop back up pretty quick. If he doesn’t and this is dragged out beyond reason, well, I’ll be here complaining lol.
