The only time it’s acceptable to have multiple ships tagged in the relationship category on Ao3 is if you’re writing a multi-chap fic with rotating POVs between the ships. If you’re writing and building multiple romances, then that’s perfect.
Chapter 431 analysis. why everyone drew the wrong conclusions.
When the first spoiler frames from the volume came out, hell on earth began, some shippers rejoiced at the canonization, others cursed Horikoshi. I was initially going to say that all these wishes of dirty things towards the author are very ugly: at first, when 430 came out, the Katsudeku shippers rejoiced, and the Izuochi shippers wrote Horikoshi curses, and now it's the opposite, and I would like to ask him to behave decently. I was also upset by the leaks, not only because I liked the other ships, but also because I never saw Deku's romantic chemistry with Ochako, and I hate the trope "a good girl is in love with the main character, he doesn't think about her, but in the end they get married" BUT then the whole chapter came out. And no. In the finale, there is no Izuocha as a canonization at all. At all. And it’s not about the ships, but about the fact that many people didn’t understand what the author wanted to say. It's just that some have already gotten wound up and drunk from the "canonization", while others have started to wind themselves up with their disappointment and savor it, pulling things onto it that don't actually confirm their disappointment", that is, we have a crowd effect.
At first, without context, only by spoilers (it has already been confirmed that some of them are false), it seemed romantic in itself. That is, out of context, you can see how the hero notices a girl at a party after the timeskip, and can't take his eyes off her
But in the whole chapter, this page followed this.
And Deku doesn't look in love here, he looks... scared.
What moments before this does this page refer to and parallelize? And these? Deku, Tsuyu notice that Ochako is very ill and she hides her pain, and forces herself to smile.
And this is what parallels this image, which is confirmed by the context of the whole chapter from the very beginning: Ochako is in pain.
8 years of pain and abscess and this is referenced in her conversation with Tsuyu before the party Next: Deku runs to Ochako as he ran after the war: to save her, he saw that his friend needed saving and urgently.
Ochako herself. You might think that this frame is a confirmation that she still loves Deku.
But the whole chapter had a completely different context.
She remembers this moment as if out of a desire to remember it and feel it again, as if wanting to deceive herself that it is still like that. Just pay attention to the frames: Ochako is shown alone in the crowd, her gait is unsteady, she remembers things that happened 8 years ago out of nostalgia and most likely her wishes will be deceived, that she still has this feeling, because she feels empty. That's why she remembers her conversation with Izuku in chapter 428: Ochako longs for salvation again.
In some form, she gets this salvation when in her head she pushes herself on behalf of Toga to live on. In some way, there is a romantic subtext here, Uraraka on behalf of Toga tells herself that she should let her go and try to experience something else, she herself feels a romantic subtext here, remembering her feelings, but are they in love with each other at the moment?
VERY, very unlikely And, so as not to accuse me, I'm not even a Togarako shipper, because I don't like Toga.
Then the fandom carried on and everyone was charged by each other: Izuku left Bakugo and did not go with him to the agency. But A) it goes without saying that he always wanted to be on equal terms with Kacchan, and compete on equal terms, so he wants to quickly become an independent hero. B) and this is the most important thing. The car and their conversation in the car, which was not in the Friday spoilers, and most importantly the context of this conversation.
During the discussion between Kirishima, Katsuki and Izuku that Deku did not agree to work with Katsuki in the same agency, Deku looks at the signed card with All Might and smiles softly and thoughtfully. It would seem: Deku is happy for his friend
But the Context. This is the same card that was next to Katsuki when he died, and Izuku saw him dead. And Izuku considered himself guilty of his death, that he was not there to protect him, he did not manage to arrive in time to save him, he allowed Toga to drag him into the portal, he was distracted, he did not save.
Deku considers himself - guilty. And this is exactly what goes in the context of the conversation about Izuku not agreeing to be with him in the same agency, although he himself once wanted it. Izuku still thinks that he is too Guilty to be near Katsuki. Hence his running away from him, which Katsuki reads as if he is no longer needed.
But who is Deku? The one who was told to keep his heart under lock and key in order to be the heir of One for All. The one who suppressed his emotions since childhood, and made others always believe that he was okay. Deku - hides his pain after all the traumas of the war still behind a smile on his face, and this is exactly what Uraraka does in the same chapter. That is why Izuku immediately notices that something is wrong with her at the party, because he feels the same way. The very context of how he looks at Uraraka, the guys discuss couples and a happy life, but what Deku remembers before turningon Ochaka? Shigaraki and his injury.
That's why he is the one who reads Uraraka's feelings, their traumas are similar. And as a hero who can't stand aside when someone is in trouble, he runs to give her what she needs: help and salvation. This is not a chapter about the canonization of ships, these are the traumas that haunt them already in adulthood and the story about them.
Oh? Please, Madam
What Izuku rejects is the opportunity to be Katsuki's SIDEKICK. He doesn't reject being a hero or competing with Katsuki. He rejects working FOR/UNDER Katsuki. Which is hilarious because Katsuki accepts (apparently multiple times) showing up as a guest lecturer to help out Izuku's class. Katsuki tells Izuku that "If everyone is special, no one is special," which has the potential for SO MUCH DOUBLE MEANING. But what there is no ambiguity about to me is he's basically telling Izuku "Hey, notice this. I'm treating you special. You're special to me. NOTICE."
It's also implied that Izuku sees Katsuki more regularly than he sees most others from their class, which is emphasized by the previous chapter when Aizawa complains to him about Katsuki's behavior in public affecting his ranking. Katsuki basically tells Izuku he needs to start thinking about himself more, and he also ends their final interaction with a "See ya [later]." Katsuki is NOT talking about Ochako, but Izuku takes some of his advice as the impetus for going to talk to Ochako (specifically they just wanna talk more after the dinner since the dinner is now over and they didn't get to talk). So what was Katsuki thinking of? I personally read his "See ya later" as "You'll figure it out, just go handle what you gotta right now and you can catch up to me later."
Hilariously, Izuku calls Katsuki out for being the one to say "If you don't start thinking a little more highly of yourself, you won't notice the things you should." Izuku's response is basically, "Look who's talking." Again, the potential for double meaning here is painfully obvious. He could be referring to SO MANY THINGS and we're meant to infer what that is. WE GET TO GUESS. Izuku could be saying "You did stuff just as bad as what you're saying," or "You're STILL not noticing something, Kacchan."
And Izuku taking inspiration from Katsuki's words to go talk to Ochako is meaningful in another way--IT MEANS IZUKU LISTENED TO HIM. Katsuki is having an influence on Izuku in a way to improve who he is just like Izuku did for him in high school. Izuku takes Katsuki's advice seriously. NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN HIM TO UNDERSTAND THIS LESSON BEFORE NOW. It ends with Izuku and Ochako deciding to talk more, but what it shows us is the beginning of Izuku considering himself more. If Izuku follows Katsuki's advice long enough, he'll end up back in the competition with Katsuki just like Katsuki expects him to. That is just as easy of a conclusion to make from the theme of "inevitability" that Shouto gives us (and that Izuku also takes to heart).
This ending implies that inevitably Izuku's gonna catch up again, basically. Things will continue to change. So yeah, we get a beginning where he and Ochako meet up to talk, but it's just a beginning. It's one night of chatting. They're seeing if something's there now (which kind of implies that there wasn't much there before), but it's left open-ended. And I think it's left open-ended what happens with Ochako on purpose because anyone can read how that ends up however they like. You just have to decide as a reader what's "inevitable" for Izuku Midoriya from this point on. Me? I've decided Izuku is taking Katsuki's advice to treat people who mean more to him better. Ochako is just the beginning. Izuku has other people in his life he needs to show love to as well (because that's what this is, Izuku is learning to show people that they're important to him, that he loves them, because saving people doesn't do that--he saves EVERYONE). And then maybe he'll start to see how the people who love him treat him special too, like guest SPECIAL (same kanji) LECTURER KATSUKI BAKUGOU.
tl;dr there is a lot left open to interpretation and it's probably on purpose, read the chapter however you like, just like we did with the last chapter.
...and my interpretation which is the correct one is that Katsuki tells Izuku, "Here let me show you how to love people, damnit!" to give him the character development everyone has been begging for him to have for years, to realize that saving people doesn't mean they're special to him if he's known for saving everyone ever, so like, maybe go show them you care in OTHER ways, Izuku, and also I'll be waiting right here for you to come show you love me you jackass (and he does, he does come show him that)
“CLARA DOLLS
The children of the false city. The play the role of mourners. These dress-up dolls fake crying in order to liven up the funeral procession. The dolls present are Arrogance, Sadsack, Liar, Coldheartedness, Selfishness, Badmouther, Dunce, Jealousy, Lazybones, Vanity, Cowardice, Fool, Bias, and Obstinance, while the last one, Love, has yet to arrive. “The depths of this world, born of form and without void, are our stage,” and their power is a match for Magical Girls.
1. IBARI Pride; 2. NEKURA Pessimistic; 3. USOTSUKI Liar; 4. REIKETSU Cold-heartedness; 5. WAGAMAMA Selfishness; 6. WARUKUCHI Slander; 7. NOROMA Blockhead/Gullible person; 8. YAKIMOCHI Jealousy; 9. NAMAKE Neglect; 10. MIE Vanity; 11. OKUBYOU Cowardice; 12. MANUKE Stupid-looking; 13. HIGAMI Inferiority complex; 14. GANKO Stubbornness; and 15. AI Love (poster, not a real doll). Collectively they’re called Clara Dolls”
The Clara dolls (oh look, another Nutcracker reference) are so bamf they each get an individual name.
They’re not nice names, but still.
From the Madoka Wiki
So, I just thought of a thing.
Homulilly’s entire thing is self-depreciation. Her only action is a funeral procession to carry out her wish to die, led by the Clara Dolls. The Clara Dolls are all based around negative characteristics or traits, presumably things that Homura sees in herself that she despises. In a sense, they all represent characteristics that apply to Homura, if only through Homura’s self-depreciating perspective.
And the only one that doesn’t show up is Love.
And the best part is, there are plenty of ways to analyze that. Here are a few I came up with:
1) If you perceive the Clara Dolls as simply representations of Homura’s character, Love doesn’t show up because it doesn’t apply, be it an inability to feel it or express it (counts only if you’re arguing selfish love isn’t true love). 2) If you perceive the Clara Dolls as tormentors, Love doesn’t show up because, unlike the other Clara Dolls, that trait doesn’t torment Homura. It’s the only facet that she embraces to keep her moving forward. It would have no place as a tormentor. 3) If you perceive the Clara Dolls as more of Homura’s perceptions of herself (which would make sense given "Stupid-Looking” is a subjective trait), it could be argued Love doesn’t show up because it’s a trait Homura herself doesn’t feel applies to her. More along the vein of “she’s not worthy of it” rather than “she’s incapable of expressing/feeling it.”
This is it. This is the exact level of pretentious I wish everything operated at, at all times.
round 1 bracket 29
Korra x Asami
Deku x Bakugo
My bkdk heart has to vote for them
Just missing Bakudeku 😭💜
I love there dynamic so much
A heart-to-heart atop a vehicle.
anyways i just think that it would be deeply funny if dustin had no idea will was gay and obviously that he has no CLUE that robin is gay but that he clocked mike as gay in like 5th grade
non-existent gaydar except for mike wheeler
Will, back in Hawkins for Sophomore year: hey so euhm, why is "I miss Will Byers :(" graffitied on one of the bathroom stalls?
Dustin and Lucas:
Mike: don't worry about it
Mike after he saw El in the window: *still thought she was dead and didn't try to search for her*
Mike when Hopper told him to stop seeing El everyday: *stopped seeing her, started lying and told his friends he had no choice and could't do anything about it*
Mike when Hopper told him to stay at home and not to bike around looking for Will:
- Lucas, do you copy?
Mike the next day after he saw Will's "dead body":
- LucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLucasLu
Day 2 - seasons
And I'm always here for you too.
Immediately after reading the final scene script I opened a dove chocolate (which was wrapped in reverse and good out) and it honestly just told me Byler is end game.
scs of mike's microexpressions before he said the three words
..what kind of person has to brace themselves to say 'i love you'
s5 leak: byler getting murray’d
(insp.)
I’d like to remind you everyone that the option that came in last in the first poll was not brought back for the second poll. And look what’s in last place. As much as I wanna see that final scene of the season, if we loose the chance to see into either El or Mikes mind during that scene, it might not come up again and we’ll never see if she thought his speech was BS or if he was insincere until S5. Dilemmas.
He really be like “oh shit he saw that look away look away!”
