Are you happy with how your favorite canon muse was portrayed in canon?
Honestly? Yeah, I’m pretty satisfied! I think that a lot of people are generally unsure about Katsuki’s progress in the manga and whether or not it has been good progress, but Horikoshi wrote him as an amazing foil to Izuku’s character... And in the end, he’s not really that, you know? He’s really become more of his own, and there’s also the fact that he and Izuku actually share many similarities anyway. Katsuki has always been the secondary protagonist to this story, or the deuteragonist is the correct term, and his own character development has been so well paced out that I feel like people... Really underappreciate it.
Like, I get it. He’s unlikeable at best in the beginning. Even I was pretty unsure of this gremlin when I first began the series, but it didn’t take long for him to grow on me because I knew WELL before I ever got to the kidnapping that there was more to him than what we were seeing. But he was written that way! He was written so people would sit back and come up with predetermined views so Horikoshi could shatter them with genuine development.
His biggest moments have been in the more recent chapters, and I’m convinced that Horikoshi isn’t done with him just yet, either. Katsuki has evolved in such a 3D, realistic way, he’s been shown to be one of the most human characters of the show, and HE’S BARELY 17 IN THE MANGA TOO LIKE... He’s. A literal kid. And not only has he rapidly evolved into an ultimately better person in the span of a year, but he’s also apologised to the one person he hurt the most, not expecting for it to fix anything which implies he’s willing to put in more work for it - I just! Katsuki truly amazes me!! He matured so rapidly in such a short span of time!!!
I really haven’t found much to combat Horikoshi on in canon. This is why I write so closely to canon tbh - I really think that canon Katsuki is just a literary masterpiece.
What are the trends when it comes to writing that you adore?
Oof, this is going to be a MUCH shorter answer, because honestly... I don’t really have any? At least, I don’t think so. If I see something I can read well, and I like the flow of the writing, then the trends around writing are kinda irrelevant to me.
Basically: Trends are irrelevant. Good writing is forever.
