WHEN KACCHAN STARTS MUMBLING AND STUMBLING AND ANALZYING THE ENEMIES MOVES IN THE FINAL BATTLE BECAUSE

No. 430 Katsuki making effort to bring back deku's dream

The easiest way to know whether a dynamic in fiction can be read romantic or not is if you change one of the genders of the character (because if they're the same gender it's easy to read them as platonic unfortunately)

If you can see them getting married if one of them is a girl than that means the romantic reading of that ship is completely valid

Ie. deku and bakugo

I rarely ship characters (especially if romance isn't the main focus), but I can ship them because of jp dudebros thread on heroine kacchan theory (with proof from manga, movies, arts, and promotion stuff)

The dudebros were talking about "if kacchan's a girl, she'd end up married with deku" but it actually makes me think "why would his gender change anything if all those things happen when he's canonically a guy?"

And then BAM! I have found the light

It's the same thing with "why do people say it's platonic when they're both girls / boys but it's romantic if they're a girl and a boy?"

If anyone is denying the romantic undertones then they're just in denial of the validity of that ship and shouldn't shame people for shipping them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or maybe, if they ship one of them with other characters, put that other character in the same scenario and see whether they see the situation has romantic undertones or not (easiest example: bakugo being targeted by shigafo for being the closest one to deku on that battlefield). If it is, they're just in denial and/or desperate

It's valid if people just like them as platonic ship, but maybe they shouldn't tag other ships with characters NOT involved with the topic of the post? Kinda feels like they're off-topic. For example, seeing a post about dkbk platonic relationship in a td////dk tag would just sour my mood if I'm a 🍰🥦 shipper. I'd be like "I wanna see 🍰 and 🥦, not 💥 and 🥦! Why're you putting that shit in my timeline!?!"

Note: I like the dkbk dynamic more because deku's stubborn n relentless attitude is more prevalent in dkbk jp works, also because I found more funny dkbk jp works than bkdk www

Thoughts & Restraint

Bakugo the patriot.

oh NOW people are turning? now people are seeing what we’ve been saying for years? the parallels weren’t enough, their obsession and devotion to each other? katsuki willing to die with nothing on his mind but Izuku the first time wasn’t enough? it took him doing it AGAIN for you to see it?

not to mention with the latest chapter people who HATED bkdk suddenly feeling confident enough to admit bkdk was a legitimate threat. “they DO have the strongest bond and deepest connection and clearly care about each other the most, but thank god huh?” SO IT HAD YOU SCARED.

I’m not accepting anyone who spent years perpetuating homophobia, misogyny, and bigotry suddenly admitting that they feared bkdk’s possibility then trying to play nice. “you were right I just didn’t want it to happen” Be Quiet.

honestly, i love it when people REALLY get bakugou. and i mean REALLY REALLY understand him. Bakugou was NEVER evil but instead had the largest inferiority complex i have ever seen, he had a genuine fear of failing or disappointing others which made him act with that cocky and egotistical mask. i also like to think that this is the reason why Izuku never hated him

like in that one quote "the idea of victory was so tied to the image of you in my head", it is undeniable that Bakugou is a victorious person who always wants to win, but that is also his biggest downfall. Bakugou wants to be the best but how can you be the best while treating others poorly?

His growth in the anime and manga is seriously one of my favorite character development arcs i have ever seen.

Tbh at this point, I almost feel sorry for people who ship Bakugou with another character other than Izuku.

I mean, don't get me wrong, ppl can ship whatever they want, but that blonde boy has Izuku on his mind 24/7.
