Hey I just read your most recent chapter of your Bk/Fuyumi work where you admit in the AN that you vent your frustrations about Deku's character. Do you think Deku is deserving of Bk's love and attention? I can feel the affection you have for Bk's character throughout your works but you seem to have more complicated feelings about Deku. Other than enjoying their dynamic, do you kind of wish Bk was obsessed over someone more deserving than Deku (assuming you don't think Deku is deserving)?

The fic in question: I Want What I Don’t Deserve

My feelings for Izuku are complicated because I have more in common with Izuku (particularly his extremely specific form of interpersonal naïveté) than I do Bakugo, especially when I was younger. I think a lot of people, myself included, tend to be more critical of things that more closely mirror the self and things they don’t like about the self. In the case of Izuku, I see him consistently making a very big mistake I’ve made repeatedly when it comes to my own Bakugos, if you will, and it’s hard to watch.

When I was first introduced to MHA, the person who sat me down to watch it tried to convince me to do so through the appeal of Izuku as a character. And I did like him! I though he was kind and earnest and clever and benevolent and immediately took a shine to him. But… I guess because I have watched enough classic shonen I immediately turned to my friend at the end of episode one and said, “That one. Bakugo. I think… there’s something he’s not saying. I think there’s something Izuku doesn’t understand here. I think… he’s going to be my favorite. Yes, it’s him. I’m sure. It’s him.” It was sort of like looking at someone and realizing you already knew them before you’d met.

Basically, this meant that on first viewing of the series I was essentially watching Izuku (and a lot of the young fandom and arguably even some of the anime directors in some cases) misunderstand or disregard key things about Bakugo. In DVK2, I was SHOCKED not that Katsuki felt the way that he did, but that Izuku HAD TO BE TOLD THIS or that his admissions shocked ANYONE in the fandom. I was shocked that Uraraka had to explain to Izuku how Bakugo might feel if the class came to rescue him. Shocked that Izuku he thought he could just hold out his hand to Kota and expect Kota to accept him. On my read through the manga, these kinds of feeling intensified. I felt more sympathy for Izuku during stuff like DvK1, but also had to wince as Katsuki shattered but still kept coming to school to put his best and cringiest foot forward every day after that despite knowing that the class, thanks to Momo, had insight into his and Izuku’s personal issues, which pretty much humiliated him.

Do I think Izuku is “worthy” of Bakugo’s time and attention? That’s a nasty question for me to face because the answer is NO. NO I DO NOT. At least, not YET. He will be, but not yet.

It makes me crazy inside that Bakugo’s whole life is wound around Izuku - Izuku’s opinion of him (this is Bakugo’s own doing), differentiating himself from Izuku (also an issue born from Bakugo himself, but still the emotional toll is heavy), minding Izuku’s standing of childhood friend (which implies Bakugo has a certain level of responsibility towards him, though in the west this is less of a consideration and in the East can be seen as a positive), getting along with Izuku specifically as a condition for following his dream, Izuku’s One for All secret (which was, until shared and even after in some ways, a binding and choking thing in my opinion), Izuku’s needs, Izuku’s training, atonement towards Izuku, Izuku, Izuku, Izuku.

This is a very selfishly Western way of looking at the preservation of their extremely important relationship, I am aware, but I empathize with the situation of someone getting sucked into an existing relationship and never being able to escape it. So that’s where I’m coming from whenever I read this manga.

That said, the manga highlights that Bakugo is appreciative of the class as a whole as his friends (not that the boys all necessarily understand what he means in his “you’re all my rivals” comment, but whatever, Bakugo is still happy to have ‘em) and that makes me happy… even though I still want him to have more than just the rather limiting in-group of Hero students. I wish it in the way a friend or parent might wish for someone to have the absolute best of everything and anything even when it likely isn’t possible or reasonable to want such a thing for them. He’s my favorite and I want him to have the world.

But, even with that said, I don’t want Bakugo to be obsessed with anyone else to the same degree as he is with Izuku. I don’t think he could be, and I wouldn’t have any positive feelings whatsoever if Katsuki became so fixated on anyone else. Because while I said I didn’t think Izuku is worthy, I also specified that I don’t think he is worthy YET. But he will be. He’s the only one who COULD be worthy. He’s getting there. He’s getting there.

I believe in him.

It’s a comedy! It’s angst! It’s Bakugo taking Fuyumi on the world’s most disastrous first date and trying to navigate the Todoroki Family Drama before, during, and after.

Rated T. Part 4 out now!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. Hmmm....... aside from my usual OTPs (comprehensive OTP list will be coming one of these days), the ships I'm currently really into include Lukagami (Miraculous Ladybug), Maiaang (ATLA), Gajevy (Fairy Tail), ShiMayu (Twin Star Exorcists), Lucathy (Who Made Me a Princess), Nanami x Tomoe (Kamisama Kiss), BakuFuyu (My Hero Academia), Kyoko x Katsuya (Fruits Basket), InuKag (Inuyasha), and Chastity x Valor (Here We Go Again). Platonically, I'm thinking about Mai & Toph (ATLA), Shoyo & Atsumu (Haikyu!!), and Asta & Yuno (Black Clover).

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. Arranged marriage, no contest.
