#she could be likeable if the writing of the show was a lil better lmaooooooo

[astroninaaa]

how can you like bakugou but hate clarke griffin? he's way worse than her lol

MFIWOSNOQ NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I THOUGHT I WOULD BE ASKED THAT BUT I KINDA DIG THIS QUESTION OKAY LET’S GO

okay so: clarke and bakugou are completely different characters. the context to their stories and characters is widely different and therefore you can’t exactly apply the same criteria to the both of them, but i totally get where you’re coming from, so i’ll try to somehow explain why bakugou works for me and makes me like him and clarke just....... doesn’t

first things first: clarke sucks. i have made an entire post about that and about why i don’t like her. she’s selfish and a bad person and a murderer. i have never liked her. however, what REALLY takes the cake for me is the fact she was supposed to be one of the good guys. killing people? she did it for her people. betraying her people? she did it for her daughter. torturing her daughter? she did it for......... well she must have a reason! it pisses me off. if she was made out to be a villain, i would probably actually like her, but she isn’t, and that’s so frustrating. clarke griffin is a bad person AND a bad character but the writers want me to see her as a hero or whatever. she isn’t! she sucks! i hate her! yay! 

also she’s stupid as fuck and always makes bad decisions and uhhhhh she ANNOYS me to no end!!! and the fact the fandom always makes excuses for her behavior makes me even angrier so yeah. i do think she could be one of my favorite characters if her character arcs weren’t always fucks up  → kills people  → gives weak ass apologies   → cries  → acts dramatically → is forgiven  → fucks up again. if she was written as an anti-hero, she would be AMAZING, but the writing on the 100 is too bad for that LMAOOOO

now, about bakugou: he’s a piece of shit. he’s cruel, and mean, and an asshole. he treats others like shit and thinks he’s better than everyone, and his treatment of midoriya is simply unacceptable. if i ever saw someone like him irl, i would jumpkick his ass IMMEDIATELY. he’s TERRIBLE. but (here it comes), he’s such an interesting character. he is a horrible person and yet his biggest goal is to become the number one hero, to save others. he’s a little bitch and still he’s one of the smartest and strongest characters in bnha, and rarely fails to act when needed (see the USJ incident). he’s a selfish, stubborn prick, and he’s fighting for the good side. i don’t think he’s a good person, because he’s not, and he should’ve definitely be held responsible for his mistakes and seeing midoriya punch him in the end of season 2 was INCREDIBLY satisfying, and i do admit he sucks, too! less than clarke bc he never commits genocide like she does (lmao), but he is indeed a jerk that we naturally would think of as a villain or anti-hero.

he is not a villain or an anti-hero, tho. he’s a bully and an asshole, yes, but he’s a hero. he’s training to be a hero just like the other main characters and i think that’s amazing. the contradictions within his character make him SO interesting to me and that’s why i like him. he’s not an usual character and i love it, i love how they made someone who would normally be a bad guy a hero. i think it’s really nice and fresh and he’s SUCH a good comic relief oh my GOD i laugh SO MUCH at him. and that’s what his character was made for. i haven’t finished bnha yet, i’m still on the beginning of season 3, but, until now, i haven’t seen anyone trying to make him seem nice and soft and misunderstood. no, he’s just a bastard, and, damn, i love it. the way his character is built is very absorbing and capvating to me, and so i like him, even tho i still see that he’s a terrible person. also, he never cries around bc people don’t like him or don’t trust him. he’s legit just vibing and being his angry self all around lmao

meanwhile, clarke is made out to be the good guy and is constantly trying to manipulate the other characters into thinking she’s great. bakugou never tries to be seen as anything other than the bitch ass he is or gives out backhanded apologies to make others like him or whatever

so yeah! that’s why i like bakugou and hate clarke. everyone is allowed to have their own opinions so it’s absolutely fine if you disagree but......... this is it basically? this got a lot longer than i expected but afhoewfnowhf yeah!! lmao

edit: what i said in the beginning about different criteria for the two characters → they are made in different universes with different norms and different standards. besides, bakugou is a child and clarke is a grown woman (at least during the later season), soooooo
