GreeNade Because I miss them so much

I miss them so much. It's not even funny. Hori,please reunite them.

[rowanwithaz]

Shut the fuck up. This was not talked about as much as it should had been.

Who's worse at Feelings? Izuku or Katsuki? And why it's Izuku.

Alrighty,I felt the need to write more about Dkbk/bkdk.

Who sucks at feelings? They both do but...

I feel this is one of the most important things about Dkbk/bkdk is,Izuku is WAY worse at feelings. Look,I know they are both shit in the talking department,but Bakugo has been much more VULNERABLE with Izuku than Izuku has with him.

(*I'd like to also add Bakugo's eyes are covered in all of these scenes. Yes,he's telling the truth,but there's still more to say.*)

Also,All Might confronting Bakugo on his feelings and him not denying it.

As for Izuku,we don't even see his THOUGHTS,and he straight up lies to Katsuki and All Might.

(*just some small examples*)

Bakugo's problem is confusion and having issues appropriately vocalizing his feelings,whilst Izuku just shuts them down entirely. Saying Izuku is like every Shonen protagonist will never not piss me off. I think a lot of the characters in bnha break the shonen formula in some way. Izuku does not want people to know about his feelings,he doesn't want to hurt Bakugo and deal with the possibility of heart break.

Izuku literally left U.A,his dream school,the school he worked so hard to get into,because Bakugo got hurt. (I guess you can say because of everyone else as well,but at least in the sub it frames it as his biggest reason being to protect BAKUGO.) How can we say he is "good at feelings" ? There is a difference in emotional intelligence and being good at feelings.

So,what is the difference?

The difference is,you can be able to sympathize and understand people's feelings easily,but it doesn't mean you're good with your own. Actually,if you are emotionally intelligent it's EASIER to avoid your feelings. Understanding your feelings and which ones you want to hide go hand in hand. If you feel something you don't like,and you don't understand it,then you can't hide what you don't know. That's why Bakugo struggled so much. He didn't understand what he was feeling,only that it made him feel weak,and since he didn't know how to hide those feelings he replaced them with a defense mechanism: Anger. Whilst Izuku can lie because he knows the answer,he knows his feelings,I personally believe it was the joint training arc that made him realize

"Oh,shit. I knew I wasn't straight, but I didn't think I was THIS gay for Kacchan."

It's almost like Hori's trying to tell us somethin'.

What ever could he mean? I'm lost.

[rowanwithaz]

Katsuki has ludophobia & Thanatophobia.

This was obvious by the seventh episode for me.

Both of his worst fears transpired: Losing to Deku,and hurting Izuku.

Horikoshi had said an interview about making the two fight so early on,that in the mist of the battle we see Bakugo's humanity. And that guilt,sorrow,anger,fear,is all for Izuku. Izuku makes him weak,makes him feel things he doesn't understand. He's always cared about Izuku,whoever says different hasn't watched the show or read the manga. This whole fight got intense because Bakugo was hurt by Izuku. He thought Izuku was lying to him,that Izuku only stuck around to see how weak and confused he was.

He never once wanted to hurt Izuku,he never once wanted to lose to Deku,and to get rid of his fear of losing,he had to let go of Deku,and embrace Izuku.

(*also,I think Bakugo has ludophobia,which is the medical term for the anxiety of losing,which can trigger panic attacks,but also he may have Thanatophobia (also the fear of death) which is the fear of losing someone you love,so with both of these anxieties that'd explain why his panic attack was so severe.*)

Watching Izuku fall while All Might (Bakugo's hero) yells he lost. No WONDER he had this reaction. Jesus,Bakugo surfers so much for being gay.

I made a post about this,but I never touched up on this. Which is VERY important,and really proves how much and how long Katsuki has cared about Izuku.

"Can't People (of the same gender) Just Be Friends Anymore? "

This is gonna be a fun one.

I kinda never went over this in my, "Deku Is Straight" post,and I guess it is a little different; but it's still a very popular argument against just queer ships in general. So,I will bring up how queer shippers get treated in most fandoms and just some problems in the media when it comes to representation; but it will mostly be about GreeNade and BNHA.

(⚠This post is not supposed to be hating on any one! It's absolutely fine if people view certain relationships as platonic,but what's not okay is having double standards and being a godamned hypocrite about it. This is just addressing issues that seem to pop up mainly against the queer shipping communities; not some kind of hate post. I encourage everyone to try and have an open mind and to try and be respectful of everyone's opinions.And as usual: as long as something is legal,ship away!⚠)

Broship

If you could not tell the ones on the top are taking about this scene:

And,from what I'm reading,they didn't get it. Bakugo didn't do it for "humanity" he didn't do it because Izuku is just a good friend of his. His.Body.Moved.On.Its.Own. He wanted to protect Izuku so badly that his body made him do it. He also copied Izuku,like when Izuku's body moved in its own...? Y'know,like,the scientifically proven thing you do when you love someone in a romantic way?

(*Also,when Izuku does this for Ochaco he second guesses himself and forces himself to do it unlike with Kacchan. Just found that interesting; and Izuku even says "it wasn't like last time" because he had to force himself to move. His thoughts also get cut off before he can come to a conclusion...hmmm,interesting.*)

Which Izuku has done this about a million times and even admits to it,

but chapter 285 is where Bakugo mirrors Izuku(he has,I believe in some other moments in the manga,I can't remember for sure; but this is the chapter it's most apparent in.) ,he also does the analyzing thing Izuku does.

Okay,now that is the significance (there is so much more that makes it so beautiful but that was just some of the quick stuff) So,can we really call this "friendship" ? Honestly,I guess,if you don't know anything about the relationship prior to this scene...actually no that's wrong. My Aunt saw this scene and asked if they were canon,she had not known anything about bnha/mha at the time. And when I gave context she was like, "so they're gay,?"

So, yeah. That scene even with no context; looks like someone dying for the person they love. But,perspective.

Here's the thing I'm addressing in this post. It isn't, "Guys,they don't do this for their other friends and they mirror each other on accident and the author himself doesn't refer to them as friends,ect,ect." There is too much that supports them being romantically interested in each other,but that's not the point. The whole "Friendship is dead,isn't it?" because people can see two dudes/girls liking each other romantically is.

And that moves us to the next section of this post.

Double Standards

The only time when someone says something like this Is when it's between people of the same gender. They aren't mad at people for shipping Momo with Izuku because they're just friends,that's okay because...don't tell anyone this is a secret antis have...they don't care as long as it's straight.

If it's queer it's "Friendship dead :(" but if it's someone like Melissa it's okay. It's honestly so...pathetic.

"Boy and boy have to be friend or my life is over 😠" or "Gal Pals or my life is RUINED 😨" Like, I have never seen someone get mad about straight ships like this. Honey,if someone said, "WHY can't a guy and girl just be friends for once?" Everyone would laugh in their face. Which is actually something I wish was normalized more. Once I had a dude friend and my whole family made fun of us and I literally cried because I had just figured out I liked girls a lot more than boys and I was having this thing pushed on me. That does not happen with gay people,actually get this,being called gay is still used as an insult.

(*That first one though...Like do they not know there are several canon trans characters and bisexual characters in bnha? And the Izuchako drawing 💀 I cried I was laughing so hard the first time I saw it.*)

If you know about the sonic idw comics,there are these two characters Whisper and Tangle. People instantly started shipping them because they were so cute with each other,but other people were mad because "two girls just can't be friends anymore" and it pretty much happens in every show that isn't LGBTQ+ centric.

Because people aren't going to read/watch Heartstopper and go, "Uh,these guys are straight why do you keep shipping them?" And as much as I love that we are getting stories and shows all about the queer experience, it does still piss me off that if it isn't something like a queer romance drama and or comedy people get mad at queer people for being in other things. People will be like, "You have shows that are centered around being queer,stop bringing it into our stuff," and it's exhausting. Like,there are billions of T.V shows,moves,books,comics,ect,that have nothing to do with a romance centered plot but they throw in this random hetro relationship that doesn't add to the characters or plot.

And that's one of the reasons I love BloodBubbles and GreNade,they add to the characters and parallel the story into their dynamics. I think all romance in stories should be like that. If a romantic relationship doesn't add anything but a little *smooch* *smooch* then it is ultimately useless. I understand if people like the *smooch* *smooches* but don't act like the relationship is well developed and needed. With a romance centered plot the romance is obviously needed. But does it mean it's good? Hell no. Most romantic movies have the characters fall in love in a week. That's just my opinion though.

Conclusion:

Stop using the "can't two people of the same sex/gender be friends anymore" argument,it just shows how much you do not know about queer people/relationships or just relationships in general. Queer people should be able to be represented in (God forbid) a Shonen and just media in general that isn't just a romance show. Everyone has different thoughts,opinions,and experiences,that shapes them into having a different perspective on things; but just because they have a different perspective doesn't mean it can disprove a plantain fact: Straight people have representation. Straight people do not need to fight for it either. So,stop fighting to be oppressed so badly.

Sorry to get so serious in the end...here this might lighten the mood!

This is the angle number for 285! The chapter Bakugo's body moved on its own. I find the angle number being about kindness very interesting. :)

That worked right? Also,I like doing the conclusion in a bigger font,so I'll probably be doing that from now on when I'm wrapping my posts up.

[rowanwithaz]

So,last post before I hit the hay,(I've been posting a lot more :D)

Can we stop calling Izuchakos that do this:

Bullies? This is HARASSMENT,they are sending death threats to people,I don't want to even COMPARE them to Bakugo. These are grown ass adults sending death threats because something is gay. Comparing them to a fictional fourteen year old for saying something rather tamed compared to what they're saying,to another fictional character who was at most mildly disappointed in him.
