HE WAS BORN IN A BOX AND TAUGHT TO BE SOFT!!

i actually have so many thoughts about Izuku being raised quirkless in a quirk-centric society. it's canon that people with mutation quirks are discriminated against, and it makes sense for the completely quirkless to also be treated as less than. we all know that deku and shigaraki both have the same red pair of shoes, probably because that brand is one of the only ones that makes shoes to fit people with that extra joint in their toe. there's not a lot of choice for the quirkless.

and here's Izuku. who was bullied, threatened, and worse just for existing. who was likely made to feel like he shouldn't exist, that the world did not have space for someone like him. so he stayed quiet to not get in anyone's way. he made himself small so no one would notice and assault him.

Izuku, who was holding out for a miracle so he could be a hero, to protect and lift those who did nothing but tear him down. who went to great lengths to show the world he was worthy of being there, to service them, because that's the only way he was able to survive this long; by being useful.

i'm not okay
