please dont lie to me
Continued from the possible game ending where Josh gets possessed
while considering these points below: - There are no clean cut rules to the lore of Wendigo other than the fact that it is often believed to be some sort of curse or spirit possession. - I found some vague writings on both successful and failed exorcism of Wendio.
So I think there is a great room for survival scenarios like this while keeping it relevant to the official cannon.
I imagine that Josh’s parents would do everything in their power to salvage the last child they have left. They probably won’t tell Josh the whole truth but I think he is smart enough to put things together and have a vague idea about Wendigos and his cannibalism.
As for whether Josh is completely free of Wendigo or not and occurrence of occasional violent fits is yet to be imagined.
If any of you creative peeps have interesting ideas, please jot them down in the re-blog comment section :) I’d love to read them! **message is cool too! I tend to miss out on the tagged comments ‘~’
so yes.. this is my head-cannon and the longer comic post I promised.. Because he deserves better. Related comic posts: [ #ExorJosh Master Post ]
The first time I heard the song I thought it was “heroes ARE meant to survive” and I’m not over that betrayal yet.

👆 This. I whole heartedly agree.
look at this boy………………..
my dear sweet boy………………………………..
you used to attack Izuku out of the blue, constantly, and now you think of it as “twisted”
you’ve grown up enough to realize how messed up that is
(perhaps not in reference to himself yet, but he’s getting there. this shows it.)
he’s growing up…………………………………
he’s empathizing with others, he’s showing an understanding of other’s emotions, he remembers how it felt for him to feel looked down on–he remembers how it felt when he believed Izuku looked down on him for ten years, to lose to Izuku while believing that, to fight against Todoroki and have him not even try, to earn an award he didn’t win, he remembers all of this and is applying it to this situation
he knows that if they just subdue these kids without taking these things into consideration, nothing will be accomplished, because he’s been on the opposite end of it before
he understands the frustration and anger of losing to someone who looks down on you better than anyone else here.
AND NOT TO MENTION, HE RECALLS HOW HE REACTED TO LOSING IN THE EXAM. HE REMEMBERS HOW HE CAUSED EVERYONE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH HIS ANGER, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT.
HE’S REMEMBERING PAST LESSONS AND PUTTING THEM INTO ACTION HERE.
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE LOOKED DOWN ON IZUKU FOR ALL THOSE YEARS. HE REMEMBERS HOW HE LOOKED DOWN ON EVERYONE, BELIEVING HIMSELF TO BE THE BEST, SEEING HIMSELF IN THIS BRATTY LITTLE KID AND TRYING TO TEACH HIM THE SAME LESSONS HE LEARNED.
HE REMEMBERS WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO THINK YOU WERE THE BEST AROUND, TO THINK NOTHING OF THOSE AROUND YOU UNTIL THEY’VE BESTED YOU. THE STRUGGLE REALIZING YOU’RE NOT THE BEST, THE LONG ROAD HE WAS ON TO ACCEPT THAT, TO REALIZE THAT HE’S NOT THE BEST AND HE DOES HAVE WEAKNESSES.
TO FINALLY BECOME AWARE OF THOSE WEAKNESSES AFTER YEARS OF SELF-DELUSION AND ACCEPT THEM.
ALSO. BAKUGOU, MR. NEVER-JOINS-IN IS MAKING THIS KID JOIN IN ON THE FUN. BECAUSE HE RECOGNIZES HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR THESE KIDS TO BOND AND FORM RELATIONSHIPS TOGETHER, THAT BEING A LONER THAT LOOKS DOWN ON EVERYONE DOES NO ONE ANY GOOD. ESPECIALLY YOURSELF.
AND NOW…………………………..
HE’S FREELY GIVING ADVICE. TO THIS KID HE’S NEVER MET BEFORE. BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO, TO TEACH THIS KID WHAT HE’S LEARNED, SO HE DOESN’T GO DOWN THE SAME PATH BAKUGOU DID.
in the past, Bakugou gave advice only when prompted…. but here, he’s giving it freely. no one is asking him. no one wants comfort or advice. instead, he’s imparting the lessons he’s learned through the whole series so far onto this kid, because he understands. he’s been there.
he was once that dumbass kid who thought he was the biggest hotshot around, who looked down on everyone, who never saw his own weaknesses, who felt looked down on all his life through misunderstandings.
he knows what’ll happen to this kid if things aren’t stopped; he’ll become just like Bakugou was.
so Bakugou is doing his best to teach this kid otherwise.
BONUS:
BAKUGOU ACTUALLY LAUGHING AT CAMIE’S TODOROKI ILLUSION BECAUSE HE THINKS IT’S FUCKING HILARIOUS AND IS TRYING HIS BEST NOT TO LAUGH HIS ASS OFF AND UTTERLY FAILING
(also, Bakugou calls her “Mrs. Illusion” instead of a degrading nickname in reference to her physical appearance, showing he respects her. and he’s calling Todoroki by name now. my son is growing up
i’m cry)
These are my obsessions; the thoughts that keep me up at night and the stitches of my personality that make me human.
