Katsuki's scar is in the shape of a heart monitor

the pipeline from 'that rule following extra with a stick up his ass' to 'my rule following prez who i can deploy on first years'--that's GROWTH

[bicheetopuff]

Ochako is standing here breaking down about Toga and her friend is coming to check on her and y’all are already throwing in the towel? Just because Izuku showed up?

A romantic confession during an emotional breakdown isn’t and shouldn’t be considered a legitimate one and it absolutely shouldn’t be considered romantic. Do yall really think Deku will take advantage of Ochakos emotional vulnerability rn and kiss her or something if she confesses?? Our sweet little sunshine boy?

Also, Horikoshi has a trend of making us think he’s gonna portray a basic shonen trope and then doing the exact opposite. I think he left it on a cliffhanger for a reason and you’re all thinking exactly what he wants you to think… please stop worrying so much and calm down. Hold my hand and we’ll wait until next week together to see what happens <3

[seahoerse]

Can we talk about the way she always cries when she thinks she's completely alone and none of her friends are watching her? But in front of everyone she's always smiling?

[redphlox]

With only two chapters remaining until bnha concludes, it's frustrating that Horikoshi is holding back the story's progression. The pacing feels off, as we see resolution for minor characters with insignificant roles, while major themes, plotlines, and characters are left hanging. It's not just about answering questions or solving problems, but doing so in a satisfying way and in line with the buildup of the last 400+ chapters and 10 years. there is so much set-up that has been untouched - and for what? Horikoshi's lack of conviction and commitment to the themes and story he wanted to tell has made the story quality suffer.
