I despise you. May every peach you bite into be astringent and large of stone. May your wife cheat on you with the footman and you be forced to raise his bastard son. May every cigarette you light drop from your fingers and burn a hole in your trousers or your carpets. May your dog favor your neighbor as it’s master and never return to you again.
Your spouse was an important and powerful person, so it was no surprise you got kidnapped by their enemies. Unfortunately, that was the kidnappers' final mistake. Your spouse laughs when they get the ransom call. "Good luck. You will need it. Dear, be home soon. Dinner is ready. Love you."
wait why wouldn't horikoshi make bakugou accountable for his mistakes? has he done something like that before?
I'm new in the fandom so I don't know much
Because Hori has been pushing this narrative that Bakugo has "changed" even though Bakugo has done nothing to prove it, other than being slightly more willing to work with others. And even then, only on his own terms.
Bakugo still treats Midoriya badly, still referring to him as "Deku", which is not a cutesy childhood nickname, but an insult which means "Useless" or "Limbless doll".
He only told All Might that he bullied Midoriya, without giving the full story, which means that nobody truly knows the extent of what he's done.
On top of that, Bakugo blames Midoriya's self-sacrificing tendencies on All Might, when it's actually his bullying that led Midoriya into believing that he's only useful when he's helping others, which is every kind of messed up when you look at the latest manga chapters.
And spoiler alert: Bakugo leading class 1-A to bring Midoriya back by force? Not good. I have a whole entire list of abusive traits that apply to Bakugo's treatment of Midoriya, if you want to check my anti bkdk tag, and Bakugo searching for Midoriya so he can keep tabs on his victim? Not good. Not to mention, Bakugo has the entire class (aka Midoriya's first real friends) backing him up, which is isolating,and manipulating Midoriya to come back where Bakugo can control and keep him under his thumb; yet again, more abuse tactics.
Hori has this whole "show-don't-tell" kind of thing with his narrative, and it pisses me off to no end, especially when it comes to abusers like Bakugo and Endeavor, who are made out to be somewhat sympathetic, and their "redemption arcs" seem to mainly focus on their own individual pain, rather than their victims.
Also, I want to add that Bakugo is Hori's favourite character, and for whatever reason, he keeps winning the popularity polls so Hori can't exactly give him actual development, or else that'd mean losing readers (honestly, it's sloppy writing at best).
I hope this cleared things up for you, Anon, and I'm sorry about the essay, but that is the reason why I believe that Hori is going to wimp out, and probably make Bakugo give some half-assed apology and then go right back to mistreating Midoriya. I don't really answer asks like this as much as I used to, so please nobody come to my inbox with anti bkg takes.

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third
Bakugou stans’ “Holy Scripture”:
Anti Bakugous’ “Books of Wisdom”:
"Camaraderie... adventure... and steel on steel. The stuff of legends! Right, Boo?"
Thanks to @the-upper-shelf for bringing this little silly headcannon into the page! <3
You guys remember the epilogue slide from Trespasser if Dorian and the Iron Bull are in a relationship?
"On one occasion, Venatori forces ambushed Dorian, who likely would have died... had not an unnamed mercenary band led by a Tal-Vashoth warrior crossed Tevinter's border and mounted a dangerous rescue operation. The mercenaries left a trail of freed slaves and dead Venatori in their wake, enabling Dorian to escape. When asked about the Tal-Vashoth in question, Magister Pavus declined to comment."
"Far from Home (The Raven)" by Sam Tinnesz has the following lyrics in the second verse:
"I'm sending a raven
With blood on it's wings
Hoping it reaches you in time
And you know what it means
Cause out here in the darkness
And out of the light
If you get to me too late
Just know that I tried"
Dorian knew the attack was coming, but didn't have enough time to get himself out of harm's way. In a last, desperate attempt, he sent a raven to the Charger's last known location, knowing that they would probably not receive the message until well after the ambush was over and he was dead. He didn't have time to write much, so he just wrote "Venatori" and his location. And then all he could do was pray to the Maker for the raven to reach its destination in time.
This is the closest he gets to dying, the most successful plot to stop his efforts to reform Tevinter. He's alone, fighting several Venatori on his own, and he's losing. He's tiring, he's out of mana, and he's hurt.
He thinks of the Iron Bull, how Tevinter is still his homeland, but it isn't his home anymore. His home is in Bull's arms, and he'll never be there again. He tries to keep fighting, as long as he can, but he's slipping. The Venatori know it, they've started penning him in, drawing out the last of his power and aiming to neutralize, not to injure. This is it.
And then he hears "Horns Up!" and watches several familiar figures charge his opponents. One of them, the largest, barrels down the cultist in front of him. Dorian collapses, no longer able to support his own weight, but that's okay, because Bull is there to catch him. And he’s home now.

oh wow i haven’t been on tumblr in so long bc mobile is shit but how tf did i forget abt ur art ??? fukcin blows me away wow. any tips on anatomy for a rly bad artist? ik practice, but i get so frustrated when it doesn’t look like what i see in my head :(
yeah lol mobile on tumblr sucks major ass now. i cant even publish drafts on there. and im in the same boat wiht you on anatomy lmao. it might look like i know what im doing, but sometimes not really. maybe im just good at deceiving ppl on the way i draw when its kinda inaccurate
anyway, i also struggle with never really composing the shit i want, and even i tell myself to go practice anatomy but im never really granted a lot of time in my life, so i gotta make use of whatever i can find whenever i draw.
this post is actually long, so if you just want anatomy resources, you can check these out:
stuff that i made tutorials/tips on: torso/hands/pose
these are all very condensed tutorials/tips, so a lot of this is just collection of stuff that i’ve learned/noticed from others. this might be helpful, but idk man
here’s a list of other resources for anatomy/any other refs
this one was mentioned in the list, but its easily looked over: posemaniacs, it has different modes you can try out (timed/casual study), and its good for practicing foundations in anatomy. i paid more attention to this one when i saw a twitter post of it
bodies in motion is a site you can also use. it has a catalog of images to see people acting something out, and you get to see all the frames of it occurring. even though you’re just looking at images, its still a reference to learn how arms, legs, or torsos move B^) its a good way to pay attention to the smaller details like the various muscles in bodies
and honestly, check out what other ppl say too. there’s a lot of artists out there who might’ve already wrote some shit that i mentioned or have new info that i never thought about. just type in “anatomy/art tips” into any kind of search bar and you’re sure to find something useful at some point. but main takeaway i really want you to have is to seriously study from life. dont do it based on memory or anything. there’s no other general advice that i can really give besides 1) practice 2) study from life 3) dont stress out and take your time. if you want me to give a specific tip/tutorial on a body part, i can try, but the amount of depth i can give is really based on my own knowledge of it
