My favorite tododeku is actually one-sided love and devotion from Shoto, because the thought of Shoto either gradually or suddenly realizing just how much he owes this boy his life and that he'd give the world to him- then recognizing he's just another friend and person he saved is like...so compelling to me.
He's among your closest friends. You also scared the shit out of him around first knowing each other. Soon after that he also changed your life forever for the better. You've saved your friends and others together. Your family is also fond of him.
When he came back after running away, you earnestly made sure he was okay- asking if he'd prefer to rest and wrapping him in warmth. He's so much, he's so beautiful, he's so kind and strong, and he's taught you to be so much kinder and stronger too...but you're not the only one. Far from it. You're not special, Shoto, you're just a friend.
i hate when im reading an mha fic and izuku outta nowhere is super bitter or hateful towards katsuki like that's not one of the people he cherishes the most in his whole life
one thing that's always been so confusing to me for years now is the way people like overexaggerate how deku was treated in middle school and their whole middle school experience in general it's so ... 😭 like in order for them to push their own perception of bakugou (unapologetic villainous sadistic cruel bully who shows no sign of remorse and will never own up for or change his behaviour AKA people incapable of deducing what a character arc looks like and a pretty simple one at that) and sort of like i guess be like SEE... deku is a VICTIMMMM!!! and must be Saved and Nurtured or something. i would say it's woobifying him if he weren't the like protagonist lol.
like this isn't even about he and bakugou's relationship as is bc that's a whole other thing i just mean like. the other kids at their school poked fun at bakugou and didn't take him that seriously EITHER, no one was trembling in fear or letting him do whatever ... he wasn't Top Dog just because he was generally "popular" and to be honest from my perception i don't even think he was popular considering the way people reacted to him i think they all knew he was well. bakugou. they all also called him by his first name and willingly yelled at him and junk which is indicative of a more casual relationship lol not whatever it is ... fanon says. the two friends that were there even made a point to be like "well that was harsh weren't you childhood friends" when he told deku to jump off a roof.
i dunno it's just funny at this point when people act like it was this horrific particularly cruel school full of people who would beat deku every day and make him eat dirt when the whole point is it was kind of an incredibly average school where they all have known each other their whole lives and the casual cruelty of kids words and actions still having an affect on someone and their general self esteem and perception. "kids make fun of me [for being quirkless & wanting to be a hero]" like you don't need to exagerate or just plain make up harsher bullying scenarios just to get people to take deku as a protagonist seriously or something let alone if you're just doing it because you hate bakugou which is just like what the hell ever man. the notion that in order for him to overcome something bakugou needs to have ruined his life from when they were babies (categorically untrue and you don't understand anything going on w their friendship and the way it affects the narrative at ALL!) AND his mom neglects him or something (insane and you're all actually evil) and all might told him to kill himself as well (would have been funny as fuck to be honest but obviously not what happened) is so dumb and offensive to the actual story being told. and i mean above all else at the end of the day this is a shounen and they're a bunch of kids who are meant to be kids And kids act ... childishly. crazy. everyone needs to stop taking it so seriouslyyyyyy can we just be silly please...
ok now that the anons have prolly moved on. if you are reading "fat ppl deserve/require changes to the material conditions they face as a result of the social hierarchies that allow us to treat them as disposable and subhuman, far and away more than they need ppl telling them 'wear anything you want, it doesn't matter, u look great!', particularly when these behaviors make them more susceptible to these kinds of violence in the first place" as me "coming out as fatphobic" and not my attempt to voice my deep concerns about how little we actually care to dig into these issues. then please unfollow me
not to be pathetic on main but i feel like just a while ago everything was going great life was literally amazing and now everything sucks i just wanna be in my bed forever
Beep, beep! Do you know how amazing you are? Befriending you has been one of the highlights of my year. Whether it's plotting like mad men or shooting the shit ooc, talking with you every day is something I look forward to. You're an amazing person and I'm very blessed to have you in my life.
ace !! you total & utter gift of a human being, did you know that i love you just so so much ? did you know that i smile every time i see your screenname pop up bc i know it's probably going to be a random yet incredibly thoughtful question about a nuanced aspect of my muses, a cute animal picture, or just a beloved friend checking on on how my day is going ? did you know that your friendliness & open minded nature is honestly so inspiring to me ? did you know that i don't even mind when you relentlessly peer pressure me into a new muse or verse because i know it's just gonna end up with us having a great time coming up with some new harebrained plot to explore ? did you know that you're basically impossible to dislike, & i am so so glad we became honest-to-goodness close friends this year ? well i hope you know now.
thanks for being exactly who you are, & for sharing who you are with me. i'm so grateful to know you, i adore you to pieces & i can't wait to see what kind of ridiculous plot decisions we pressure each other into exploring in the new year. 💕
