Joining in on that ship dynamics meme hehe

You cannot tell me he doesn't love Midoriya Izuku. There's so much yearning in the soft way he says, Izuku.

Katsuki in love. There are no other thoughts inside that head, only Izuku.

He is dying, and he only cares about Izuku. He is dying, and he mourns the loss of a future with Izuku.

This Katsuki is already thinking about "for the rest of our lives" with Izuku.

This poor little gay boy made sure they put him in the same team as his Izuku for the final battle because there was a tiny part of his brain that probably thought "I might not make it, but I'll be with Izuku until the very end."

But Izuku is not there, and Katsuki cannot bear the thought of spending his finally moments without him, so he talks to him as if he's there. He pretends Izuku is there with him.

Bakugou’s expressions when he sees Deku destroying his body to win

Chapter 10 (i.e., before atonement was a glimmer in this kid’s eye), when he realizes that self-destructive Deku now has a quirk that enables his self-destruction, which Bakugou can’t stop even if he goes all out:

vs. chapter 284 (i.e., when he feels deeply responsible for Deku’s safety), with full knowledge of just how destructive OFA can be, never mind in the hands of someone with -8347 self-preservation instincts:

Even when his attitude toward Deku has done almost a complete 180, Bakugou’s response to OFA is the same. Despite his temper, Bakugou is actually a pretty rational, calculating person, at least when it comes to combat and cost-benefit analysis. It isn’t surprising that he couldn’t comprehend Deku’s complete disregard for himself, even when he was still actively pushing him away.

These are two of the only moments I can think of when Bakugou looks genuinely scared of something (not surprised or uneasy), and I think it’s largely because it’s something he doesn’t understand—that is, Deku. In the second instance, though, that old, underlying fear is compounded by the fear of loss.

There's a very distinct difference:

Bakugou

Katsuki

And freakin Kacchan

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Deku, after some dude insults him: Live and let live. Be the bigger person. Live. Laugh. Love.

Deku, after some dude insults Kacchan:

License Exam Arc + Ships

KAMIJIROU

Jirou as always laughing at Kaminari

Everyone reacts to their loves rooms (except Tsuyu and Kacchan’s cause we don’t see em)

More teasing.

IIDARAKA

He’s so worried about her

She reacts to his room. First, Deku’s, then his. Symbolism? Also she wears his glasses.

Iida looks so distraught as Uraraka makes her speech

Hanging out together and commisserating on Moves

It’s been suggested! It could be!

TODOMOMO 

“The most capable” is what she says in the anime.

Anime only filler and I love it.

Momo looking at Shoto with worry after his failure.

KIRIMINA

Everyone reacts to everyone’s room.

TOJIRO

The room reactions continue.

KATSUDEKU

As always Bakugo helps Deku improve.

Kacchan almost killed AM and Deku saved him.

Always thinking of Kacchan.

Twin stars of Class 1-A

BF just complimented him!

Kacchan knows Deku!

I’m saving DVK2 for the internship arc. It’s almost an arc on it’s own but it would’ve overcrowded this post.

The fact that ochako is REPEATEDLY shown to us that she is not as important as Katsuki in Izuku’s story is a queer narrative. There’s no denying it anymore. This is a queer story now whether you like it or not.

Now, I do genuinely like izuocha, but I like it in the same way that I like any other ship. It’s decent and cute. It’s built off of supporting each other. But lemme paint something that should have been clear to everyone when they read this manga: bkdk is built entirely on completing a puzzle piece, izuocha is built on supporting another person. But you do not complete that person. And no one will ever complete Izuku like Katsuki does, and the fact that shigaraki outright SAYS IT is pretty fucking gay. The series literally said it to your face, these two, complete each other. You cannot have one without the other.

And SPEAKING of datte atashi no hero, I WILL be posting my analysis of this song and what I think of the lyrics. Maybe some other mha songs while I’m at it too to really show how implied these mf have always been.
