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.

Don’t give me alpha, playboy, flirty Bakugo, give me awkward in social situations, doesn’t know how to flirt because why is that important, has never been on a date because he gets too nervous, doesn’t know how to talk to women or men unless he’s yelling or scolding them, who doesn’t care about the concept of virginity because why does it matter, who only ever thought about dating someone because of Izuku, who only ever thought anything to do with dating/sex because of him Bakugo

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.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d end up here post-canon.

We had three seasons of Katsuki being various shades of angry and two where his cute aggression was in overdrive and any real feelings he had were buried beneath his guilt, inferiority, and rage.

So many bkdk fics from this era had them in a situationship of some kind largely because Katsuki Bakugo was the poster child for emotional constipation. The future of bkdk was often agreed to be this delicious angsty cocktail of yearning and we ate that up. Izuku and Katsuki loving each other but being unable to say it? The tension, the misunderstandings, the regency-esque moments of hands brushing? Bruh. Gorgeous.

And then season six happened and Katsuki apologized, calm, empathetic, validating, and boy did that open up doors for bkdk’s future, but that was followed by season seven where simp!Katsuki really found his sea legs, embraced his new normal and his all-encompassing obsession with Izuku and went LITERALLY RIDE OR DIE for him

Followed later by his return to the manga where everything he did screamed “I’d do anything, break my own bones, sacrifice my own life, my potential, my career, my money, all for him”. Boy came back from the dead and was all-in for Izuku and has never looked back.

We had tsundere!Katsuki down to an art and now we have simp!Katsuki too and whiplash has never in my life made me so happy. We get the best of both worlds. It has never been better to be a bkdk.

Friendly reminder that Izuku didn’t go charging into the fight with the slime monster until after he saw it had Katsuki

He was literally at his lowest point right then. Not one person in his life thought he could be a hero, and that day both Katsuki and All Might had made it clear to him that they thought it was impossible.

Izuku was horrified at his role in setting the slime monster free, that his own actions could cause harm to someone else, but he still didn’t go running into the fight until he saw it had Katsuki.

He knew his role. He knew it was the heroes job to save, not his. He stayed in his lane, observed, took notes, prepared himself to act, but he still never actually acted until he saw Katsuki in danger.

Only Katsuki’s safety would have driven him to do what he did. Yes, Izuku is heroic. Yes, he is hardwired to save others. But at his lowest point, no encouragement or validation or support from any corner, it was Katsuki being in danger that pushed Izuku to act when no one else would.

It had to be Kacchan.

Kacchan likes Deku being the big spoon but he wont admit it!

Serious question, and sorry if it's rude, but why dkbk and not bkdk? Katsuki has such a dominant personality it's odd to see him the bottom lol

Dominance/submissiveness is not equal to top/bottom

I've explained it before

Technically, I don't have to justify what I like to strangers

BUT I also like sharing stuff about what I love so instead of justifying it, here's a quick, somewhat related presentation on how Katsuki Bakugo's arc follows the heroine's journey:
