Bravo To Your Katsuki Is Not Allowed To Be Weak (if He Is He Dies) Post. That’s Actually Why I Sometimes

Bravo to your Katsuki is not allowed to be weak (if he is he dies) post. That’s actually why I sometimes have to take a break from reading fanfics we’re adults berate him for his mindset and for not coming forward and handling the fall outs of these incidents himself. Bc canon shows us Katsuki was never offered the chance, was never viewed that way. It isn’t just his pride hindering him, it is the world that continues to fail him. And he doesn’t fault the world for it -he fights to protect it.

You know what bothered me about the Licensing Exam / Provisional Training Arc?

Katsuki fails his exam because of the rescue aspect. He fails because he doesn’t go help people and focuses on trying to fight the villain instead. He assumes those people will get themselves to safety, and he’s punished for that.

But isn’t that exactly what’s been done to him, time and time again? No wonder he thinks that’s how a hero is supposed to behave, that’s how heroes have always behaved towards him. 6 pro heroes, “good” pro heroes showed up to the Sludge Villain fight. Nobody did shit to save him, and they forced/expected him to it handle on his own for ages until Izuku got involved and All-Might saved them both.

The kidnapping was even worse. There were, what, ten pros involved? Not low ranking pros either, these were all supposed to be the best of the best.

And once again, none of them do shit to save him.

The heroes break into the bar, they get the villains restrained, and then... they just pause. All-Might was literally right there. Gran Torino was right there. Either of them, fuck, anyone could’ve grabbed Katsuki and gotten him the hell out of the bar. That’s absolutely what they should’ve done. Their priority should’ve been getting the child whose been kidnapped for 2 days now, off the battlefield and to a safe location. But it wasn’t, and they didn’t.

I’m not saying Katsuki should’ve passed his exam, he shouldn’t have, but god, I’m a bit miffed that it’s never really acknowledged/dealt with that Katsuki was only mimicking the way he’s been treated by a dozen or so pros.

The double standard is something I want to explore at some point. Not just about the rescue aspect, but also stuff like the sports festival. I’ve got a few vague ideas for it, and it’s gonna show up in the forced family au in a few forms, but I’m still not sure exactly how I wanna tackle it.

lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.

I need to fucking go off on one because this is a load of barnacles:

After Kevin tells Wymack he’s his father, no one asks Kevin if he’s OK.

No, “that must’ve been really hard for you, Kev, let us know if we can do anything,” no, “hey, that was really brave of you,” no, “I hope you and coach will work this out together.”

Nothing.

Dan talks to him, except she’s pissed off at him for hurting Wymack, which of course I understand, and yes, Wymack’s feelings are important, too, but Dan, babe, can you put yourself in Kevin’s place for a hot second?

It even says in the book that Matt had to talk her out of hitting Kevin where bruises would show, what the fuck? And after they talk, Dan goes and sits on Matt’s lap, AND KEVIN GOES AND SITS ON THE OUTSKIRTS ALONE. Like he’s being punished for being a complex human being.

He doesn’t even talk for 20 pages! He says nothing from the moment they decide to go to the cabin to the beginning of the next chapter!

Kevin needed someone that trip, and as per usual he was let down, because he’s evil trash, I guess, and doesn’t deserve to be understood or empathised with, apparently.

My boi was done fucking dirty in general, but I’m genuinely so angry about this.

I am "literally do no care and do not subscribe to gender as a real concept" with a very small dash of "I let people think I'm a girl because it's easier than explaining I'm not" sprinkled on top.

Luke Mullen Appreciation

I know this has been said before, but can we all appreciate the gem that is Luke Mullen?  This kid was minding his own business thinking he was just going to be this minor character, probably not around for much in terms of storytelling.

Imagine being a young actor with no expectations for a role—one of his first, and as that role progressed being asked to be a part of something so huge.  First off, what Terri(and Luke) have done with TJ is amazing, regardless of his sexuality(namely TJ being such a complex and sensitive human).  Seriously, this kid is the king of subtle but impactful facial expressions.    

But secondly, assuming Tyrus ends up being a thing, he’s taken it in such stride.  You hear stories of so many actors(Gavin Macintosh and Hayden Byerly[and to a lesser extent Kalama Epstein] come to mind most immediately for obvious reasons) being asked to take a part of these historic roles, and not only having to carry the weight of what those roles mean, but being comfortable enough with themselves to portray these characters with the gravity they deserve.  Not to mention the actors themselves are so young playing characters that are even younger, it speaks to their maturity.  Obviously we are at a place in society now where variances in sexuality is more accepted and portraying varying sexualities is not as big a deal, but still.  At the end of the day, it’s a huge weight, knowing how much these representations, in such young characters, mean to people.

Luke obviously can’t address it publicly yet, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he was informed that this was where TJ’s character was headed.  Being such a young actor(both in age and experience) and not only being asked to play an LGBT character, but to be a part of such a young historic coupling is a huge deal and he and Josh have carried that weight so incredibly and so respectfully.  People praise Josh all the time and he deserves it, but seriously, Luke is a gem too.  Especially considering how little he’s allowed to talk about it.

Also, on a less serious note, TJ now has 3 lookbacks.  I’m shook.

oikawa tooru

hc that the fandom usually makes oikawa this self-centered, arrogant ho who LOVES taking selfies but that couldn’t be further from the truth? in reality oikawa’s just as or even more insecure than the other characters. his camera roll even shows that he loves his nephew more than pictures of himself. he constantly pushes and overworks himself, blinded by his own thoughts of having to defeat ushiwaka, surpass tobio-chan, etc. he puts on a charming, confident smile for his fans but later, when he’s alone with iwaizumi, he pours everything out. iwa is the only person to really take him seriously, not as a competitor or a superior, but as a friend. iwa’s aggressive comments aren’t there to make him feel worse, but are literally words to force oikawa into believing in his talented, powerful, intelligent, and caring self.

he worked SO HARD and pushed himself to his limits to defeat karasuno. he hardly sleeps and got injured, but would do it all for volleyball. he’s such a talented and dedicated player with a dream of defeating his longtime rival, ushiwaka, but it all got crushed by the team of his former kouhai: someone he envies too. that match against karasuno was his last to prove that going to aoba johsai wasn’t a mistake. he was so close to meeting his rival again on the court, only to be defeated before that chance. he’s no doubt one of the most talented and smart people who deserved to experience more and go to nationals. nothing would make him happier than his efforts not being wasted.

also, the fact that the last point of karasuno was because oikawa tried to receive the ball but failed is DEVASTATING. if it had worked, he could have saved his team and his pride. he could do so much more; he was incredible as a player and was a great person in general as he was able to bring out the best in whatever team he was on. he was SO CLOSE to winning and he exerted so much, god, in playing volleyball, a sport he genuinely loved. oikawa tooru deserved to go to nationals and more and u can fuckin fite me on this if u disagree

also he and iwa are going to different universities which means that oikawa doesn’t have anyone he can really trust to get him out of a tight spot. iwa was his go-to person to set to when the receive was off or their opponents were particularly hard to play against. his volleyball career may not be over, and god i hope it isn’t, but he will never feel that same comfort again when playing as compared to when he was with the person he trusted most.

tl;dr oikawa tooru deserves better and his efforts shouldn’t have gone to waste
