I was at lunch with my friends, and my singular male friend Carter and I started talking about MHA. I have little education pertaining to the fandom, but he's a total weeb about it.
He told me Bakugo doesn't deserve love.
He deadass looked me in the eyes and told me that a character that is SUPPOSED to be written as an antagonist in Japanese standards doesn't deserve love.
Bakugo simps, don't come for me, his words, not mine
Okay, I'm just gonna come out and say this.
I fucking hate Hasegawa Langa.
And I don't regret it.
Think about it: He's a total Gary Stu. He was practically a robot before Reki came along. There's a lot that I hate about him, but here's the thing I hate the most: He won't listen to anyone when they try to help him.
In Undesired Hero, Langa agreed to Miya's stakes without even thinking. He just wanted to skate.
Also, Langa went back on his promise to not skate against ADAM, basically kicking Reki in the back. Even after everyone tried to warn him, he still threw himself in harm's way just to skate.
So do you see my point now?
I will not be swayed on this.
Look I did a thing
-taps mic- Is this thing on?
Kojiro is the KING of older brothers he has two younger siblings named Sadao and Midori they give him hell but he's loved them since they were born and will love them until he dies in this essay I will-
So correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the flowers Shadow gave Oka were Amaryllis.
For reference:
Doesn't look exactly like these:
But anime's not meant to be realistic.
I did my homework and figured out that yellow amaryllis represents happiness and joy. Red amaryllis symbolizes passion, love and attraction.
Calling someone your happiness is a running trope in SK8. Doesn't really surprise me that Shadow's doing it too.
Oka looks a little uneasy with the flowers at first, implying he might know what they mean (which he wouldn't need to do under ordinary circumstances, unless it was for a certain someone)...
BUT THAT SON OF A BITCH TAKES THEM ANYWAY
So is Shadow confessing to Oka with flowers?
And did Oka accept?
Because I'm about to go cry in the club about it.
Himegi: Phoenix what the fuck
Reki: Welcome to my very first vlog in which I will try different hair products!
Reki: *sprays hairspray into his mouth*
Reki: Well, right off the bat I can tell you that this one is not very good.
So I stumbled upon this:

EdeuxHive + Miya
This dynamic is so great because it always involves a third person who is, for whatever reason, quite invested in watching two idiots dance around their feelings for each other.
Bonus: I also found Miya >:3
DAMN YOU JONAH SCOTT 😭
Fuck you
I've got problems with you
I'm taking you home and raising you as my own
STEP ON ME MOMMY
Headcanon: Oka isn't just good at the skateboard crafting business - he's also a great mechanic. Shadow knows this. So he constantly finds a way to mess up his car by sticking plastic into the air vents or dumping orange juice on the engine or shit like that. Oka fixes it all but sometimes there's nothing wrong with the vehicle whatsoever. At the end of the day, it's just an excuse for Shadow to see Oka.
Bonus: Reki found out, and Shadow didn't have the money to compensate him fairly, so now Shadow has to babysit Miya anytime Reki says.
I've been working on pieces for #ShadokaWeek over on Twitter, this one's my favorite so far 🥺💕 love these mens
