Izuku Asking “would You Love Me If I Was A Worm?” As A Joke And Shouto Very Seriously Replying, “yes.

something that never fails to make me sad about touya, and something that puts him apart from his siblings, is that he did have some semblance of love and affection from enji early on (even if that affection was mostly his dad training him), and he was the only todoroki kid to know that version of their father. to give a young child all your attention and passing down your aspirations to them, putting in their head that that is their purpose, only to then rip it away in the blink of an eye while saying it's for their own good without actually talking to them about it. there are so many things wrong with that.

was touya's quirk compatible with his body? no. but there is support gear that could help lessen the damage, even if only a little, that endeavor would have been able to invest in if he cared but he didn't, he saw that touya wouldn't be able to be what he wanted him to be on his own, that the expectations he put on his eldest child didn't disappear, so his solution was to replace him.

his face when natsuo is born is not an expression a 5 y/o should have when they get another sibling (look at fuyumi), but he does because he knows the purpose of why natsuo was born, because it's the same thing he was told was his purpose basically since he was born until he couldn't fulfill that role. then when shouto was born it just got worse, because all touya knew was that if his quirk wasn't enough, if he wasn't enough, wasn't better than shouto, then he was a failure and useless to his father. half of the time when you see young touya it's of him begging his dad to just look at him, because he knows his worth to his father is based on his quirk and it's strength, knows that it's the only reason he's alive and his parents are married.

to him, shouto being trained, no matter how brutal, meant their father cared about him.

(i know this has probably been said so many times before but i was rereading the todoroki family chapters and had Thoughts and Feelings)

Tododeku is great because they’re both like “this is me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic”

Me and the five other Tododeku shippers are doing great here (we haven’t gotten much content since the stain arc)

Hey, Todoroki, ...

… your infatuation is showing.

the quote is from brooklyn 99 (s3e18 “cheddar”) but like………………… it’s literally canon ……

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

i find it SO funny when ppl act like deku is one of those uwu pacifist protags like steven universe or aang cause like. listen. there is not a single problem deku hasn't solved by hitting it really hard. He got his quirk from all might by throwing his book bag into a villain's eye. he got tdrk to overcome his mental blocks & to like him by punching himself into unconsciousness. he got kouta to like him by punching muscular into unconsciousness. he got both eri AND sir nighteye to like him by punching overhaul into unconsciousness. he got hero killer stain to like him by punching stain into unconsciousness. he got shinsou to tolerate him by punching shinsou into needing medical attention. he got bkg to begrudingly respect him by punching bkg very hard. deku is very kind and compassionate and his main motivation in any given situation is his inherent need to help someone in need but that doesn't cahnge the fact that hes absolutely feral and down to fight at any given moment.

Mwah

world's most normal group chat

I’m not caught up yet but it still blows my entire mind that at the very end of BNHA—the last panel (in BOTH “final” chapters)—Shouto is looking directly at Izuku like he’s hung the fucking moon. Like he’s Everything. Like he’s ready to follow him to the ends of the earth. I don’t care WHAT yall have to say about Izuku’s feelings but you cannot look at this and tell me there’s not something going on there, even if it’s one-sided

As a Tododeku stan I will take these crumbs and run with them. For miles. FOREVER

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
