preview of some art for the next chapter!! (I finally started writing again yayyyy) I just can’t believe these two are finally standing next to each other after what? 30000 words??
If you watch the interview from Bojack Horseman, that's exactly what would've happen to Bakugo if the narrative ( Hori ) doesn't sugarcoat every misdeed he's done.
Bakugo: "I didn't tell Deku to kys until we're in highschool!!!"
Reporter: "I'm sorry what?"
Bakugo: "!!-I mean-!?-I-!!"
Reporter: "Did you say you tell you're 'childhood friend' to 'kys'??"
Bakugo: "That was me and Deku in highschool!! Not my fault he's a useless quirkless!!! I was only a teen!!".
And all of the conversation would be broadcasted in live TV too lol.
Katsuki would fuck up an interview like that 😂
Mob Psycho 100 represents such a refreshing, powerful portrayal of platonic love, but the fandom seems to be dominated by romantic headcanons. It makes me kind of sad. I feel like shipping the characters romantically negates some of what makes MP100 so meaningful.
we live in a pedophilic culture where young children are sexually abused, the most popular genre of porn is ‘teen’ where the girls are infantalized with schoolgirl uniforms and pigtails, dd/lg kink is normalized, men at any age want an 18 year old girlfriend, women have to have all their pubic hair shaved, women have to look as ‘natural and innocent’ as possible, women can’t talk back to men without abuse or humiliation (aka discipline), controlling male partners are way too popular (like fathers), and much more and i just don’t know how to deal with it any more
hey! let’s talk about teru’s relationship with food!
all three of us get the feeling that food is a love language for teru, or at least, we feel like it’s important to consider how food plays a role in his story arc when doing a character study of him.
okay so first off, right from his introduction he is a foil to mob.
[ID: four manga panels featuring teru getting ready for school. from right to left: the first panel shows his hand and a pan frying an egg. the second is his hand holding a remote. the third shows a tv of a meteorologist saying: “today’s weather.” The forth panel is teru pulling on his school blazer, watching the tv. the meteorologist continues: “a lot of sunshine through the country, though the air is a bit unstable. /END ID]
when teru first appears, we as an audience don’t know it yet, but he lives alone and has been living alone without his parents for several years. here he is cooking his own breakfast and getting himself ready in his apartment by himself.
[ID: five manga panels of mob being woken up for school. from right to left: the first panels is a shot of the roof of the kageyama house. the second is mob, asleep on his futon. his mom is talking from off screen. she says: “shige, get up! you’re gonna be late!” the third is mob yawning and stretching his arms about his head. the forth panel is ritsu opening the door to mob’s room. he says “bro. mom said breakfast is ready.” the fifth panel shows ritsu looking at mob. mob is putting on a pair of pants saying: “yeah ritsu. let’s go.” /END ID]
meanwhile mob, is woken up by his mom and is checked on by his brother to make sure he was up in order to get a breakfast that was more than likely made by their parents.
when mob plans on confessing to tsubomi, teru brings up how homemade things tend to make him feel happy when someone confesses to him.
[ID: manga panel of teru being offered a gift from a girl. it reads: “I tend to be on the receiving end of confessions, but…when someone gives me a handkerchief, or a letter, or homemade cookies or something, it makes me kinda happy, so…I was just thinking, there’s that kind of thing too.” /END ID]
also we see teru tend to overindulge when someone (reigen) is offering to buy food for him
[ID: panel from yakiniku omake. teru is ordering food. he says: I’ll have have 4 orders of top ribs, 2 orders of sakura yukhoe, 2 orders of choice salty beef tongue, the extra special zabuton-cut beef, the offal sampler, 3 orders of rice, a tomato salad, and the naengmyeon…and a green tea.” /END ID]
[ID: cropped screencap of official art. teru has finished two ice cream parfaits. the empty glasses sit in front of a third one, which he is using telekinesis to float the toppings near his face. /END ID]
this often played for laughs, but stick with us here…
in the fanbook teru is asked if he cooks for himself and he says yes, and mentions that he’s confident in his pasta making skills.
[ID: cropped screencap from the fanbook that reads: “Q1: do you make your own food? What are you good at cooking?” Teru answers: “I cook lots of different kinds of things! but what I’m confident in is my pasta.” /END ID]
at first this may seem like a very 14 year old answer…I mean, pasta is fairly easy to make. But knowing teru and how he tends to become and expert at the skills he learns, odds are pasta started off as something simple to throw together on a school night. Pasta is easy and convenient and kid friendly, but it is very easy to experiment with and eventually become a speciality.
and one thing we know about teru is that he has too many specialities to list.
this kid has been needing to make his own food 100% on his own since the start of middle school. we can infer he’s getting money from his parents, and we aren’t exactly sure how much or how he spends it regarding food, but the only time we seem him eating alone, he is making a meal for himself outside of something premade or takeout. he said it himself, he makes lots of different kinds of things! he knows how to cook!
but with all things teru something simple and silly comes with tragedy. while it’s nice fore a kid his age to know how to cook, he NEEDS to know because he doesn’t live with his parents. if he didn’t know how to cook he would be relying on others, and that’s just not what teru does. He is fully capable and learns for himself out of necessity. teru is responsible for all of his own meals.
so what happens when he is no longer responsible? it could be an issue with humbleness. it could also be just normal 14 year old boy hunger, but when reigen takes him out to eat there’s no limits. but here’s the thing…when’s the last time teru has had a home-cooked meal that was made for him by someone else? not from a restaurant, but someone making something for him?
this is why we have the omurice scene in backdraft. there’s a comfort in the domesticity of having food prepared for him in a familial setting that he has not realized he has been missing from his life.
we’ve focused on the fear of him getting cut off from his parents and how money scarcity turns into food scarcity. he’s always been in survival mood, it’s just that money was the breaking point for him.
going back to mob. he and his family are normally seen sitting at the dinner table together. a normal domestic setting.
[ID: screencap of the kageyama family eating omurice together]
something teru doesn’t have. he eats alone at a table in his apartment…one with multiple chairs around it.
[ID: screencap of teru in his apartment. In the background, he is getting ready, looking in a full length mirror. next to him is a tv showing the weather. in the foreground is a table with an empty plate, mug and saucer, and a basket with a single roll. two chairs are seen at the table. /END ID]
teru has not invited anyone into his apartment until mob got attacked by koyama.
who are those chairs for teru?
of course, in backdraft we have the restaurant scene that mirrors this. empty chairs for absent parents.
BUT ITS NOT ALL SAD
back to food being a love language and specialty to teru…imagine once he’s no longer in survival mode due to trauma. food as a comfort, not only receiving, but making it for others as well. tying into him wanting to be a teacher, sharing his skills with others…the fact it feels good creating and sharing something. no longer taking care of himself out of necessity, but learning what his skills and hobbies are and genuinely sharing them because they make him feel accomplished and happy! it just ties everything together with this dude.
in short, cooking is more than likely another speciality teru has developed due to needing to live on his own. since mp100 has themes that involve human connection and relationships with others, we feel food is something that brings people together and our boy teru here should experience that firsthand.
that is why it plays a big role in what we have so far in backdraft!
Blue’s design sucks so I decided to redesign her
she is now fluffy and chicken-sized [and probably huggable]
satoruspookie and that dekacchan weirdo or whatever the fuck her name is on twitter, are probably the two most embarrassing and cringiest bkdk shippers I've ever seen in my life
their extremely high levels of copium and the amount of mental gymnastics they have been doing over the past few weeks have been nothing else but incredibly amusing to see (filming themselves crying over bkdk not getting canon, blocking Horikoshi on Twitter, claiming chapter 431 is not canon and is actually AI-generated, as well as spreading around all sorts of misinformation etc.)—and for what exactly? for holding onto that tiniest sliver of hope that their toxic, garbage ship would get canon instead of Izuocha?
in famous words of Michael Jordan:
How appropriate.
ENFJ: I'm so tired of studying for my double degree all day but I've just started a new poetry book! It's divided in three parts, even though I haven't thought about the design of the book yet. Probably minimalistic.
ENFP: well I just identified the specific region in Italy where a tiktoker lives based on his accent, asked in the comments if I was correct and he's the one who replied. I was right. We're basically best friends now. Also check this video I made while procrastinating.
MHA Volume 33...not going to enjoy most of this I bet
Why does Bakugou get to have an opinion about Izuku? Many of Izuku's issues are Bakugou's fault! Society as a whole bears some responsibility but for real...Bakugou was the on-site bully...and not only toawrds Izuku.
Also...trying to bring Izuku in by attacking him? Way to make him feel "loved". Maybe it's not the "right" call for him to be a loner, but it's Izuku's choice.
Plus this whol series has been a confusing mass of "don't rely on others" and "rely on others" with Izuku forever being the one punished for not picking right each time.
