#let them grieve

[monsieurgreatness]

We got to see Ruby and Jaune's crash out, I wonder if we are going to get Weiss' breakdown in vol 10.

In that tidbit of the Justice League movies, we can see her grieving everything. These three need to hug😭

Nimbus, generally chilling: yeah, I have a lot of pressure since the Vex attacked the grave sites, the Shadow Cabal keep pouring out of the pyramid, and the council think I'm pushing the work on an outsider, but at least I have a cool buddy like you!

Guardian, looking up and seeing Nimbus holding back tears: I'm going to hug you.

Nimbus, confused: Huh? Why?

Guardian, using strand to suspend themselves: You just look like you need it.

controversial opinion: nicolo and yusuf also grieved quynh and their relationship does not negate this massive yawning loss on their lives

I've seen the pics floating around online of the Foo Fighters coming home, and I gotta say "fuck you!" to whoever took the pics and "double fuck you!" to the media outlets who purchased them!

Today, in plot ideas I have while I'm half asleep in the morning;

(sorry it starts off a bit sad, warning for Character death)

After Katsuki reunites with Izuku and AM and the final battle gets started for real, Shigaraki/AFO uses Decay to kill AM. In front of BOTH boys, who watch in Petrified horror, knowing they're unable to stop it. And as he's dying, All Might reaches out to them, and as the cracks and dust of decay crawl steadily up his body and towards his outstretched hand, he tells them BOTH

"Midoriya...Bakugou...I'm SO proud of you." All Might's hand is the last thing to disappear into dust.

Boys go into rage, Katsuki BARELY holds Izuku from going completely self-sacrificial. But they fight the fight of their young lives and eventually win.

Afterwards, they're being put up in some sort of hotel or safe house or something as the world tries to adapt around them.(because in the entire fight/finale, UA was pretty wrecked/destroyed by Shiggy/LOV too)

Middle of the night, Izuku knocks quietly on Katsuki's door, and it's clear he hasn't been sleeping well, if at all, since the battle. He's wearing a hoodie over his face so no one stops him if he runs into anyone else. He apologizes for waking Katsuki up but...

"I don't wanna be alone right now. Mom's asleep, too, and...she wouldn't really get it..."

Katsuki pulls him in without a word and sets him on the bed, stares him right in the eyes, and demands to know if he's been eating. Trick question, he can tell he hasn't, and he starts making something at the stove in his kitchenette. Izuku sits in silence on the bed, soft green eyes just watching Katsuki as he works, almost as if he's scared to take his eyes off him, as if he might lose him too.

Slowly, with Izuku now getting some soup in his stomach, they start talking about AM, they hadn't really had the time to process the loss TOGETHER in private yet, what with all the debriefings, and other people demanding their attention during recovery, and of course, parents wanting time with their children who just fought a war against the LOV.

Izuku of course blaming himself for not neutralizing Shigaraki sooner, or that even though he won the day from the LOV, he still couldn't save one of their most important people, and Katsuki cursing and telling him it wasn't his fault.

They continue talking and crying together for a while, and eventually, they finally share the first real, deep hug they'd ever had since they were toddlers. Izuku of course is crying like a fountain, and though he wants to make a big deal about his shirt getting soaked, Katsuki doesn't, because Izuku needs this... And it doesn't escape him that he himself is sniffling and furiously wiping his own face repeatedly.

Withdrawing from the hug, and their combined grief, Katsuki commands, "It's 3 in the morning. Lie the fuck down and go to sleep." To which, Izuku finds a small, broken smile and nods, settling his weary head onto one of Katsuki's pillows, making sure to scoot far enough over to let Katsuki in as well.

Katsuki makes sure Izuku is warm and asleep before he lets himself pass out on the bed next to him.

Kirishima, and the rest of the Bakusquad behind him, tries to visit Katsuki the next morning but gets the door promptly slammed in his face because Izuku's still getting some much needed sleep.

"Come back later, assholes. And keep your stupid voices down!"

And honestly, he's still pretty drained as well. He climbs back into bed and settles in for a late morning, as Izuku breathes softly, close enough by Katsuki to feel his breath. He looks at the freckles that are steadfast anchors for his gaze, under the shadows under his eyes that seem to show the strife Izuku had been through in the past several months, light scars still littered here and there from the battles... and the untainted wisps of green eye lashes. He ruffles a hand through some green locks, and Izuku sighs contently in his sleep.

"Tch. Stupid nerd."

---

Don't worry, Katsuki shot a quick text to Inko in the morning, letting her know Izuku was with him down the hall. <3

Out takes(for fun):

Kirishima: *peeks in past Katsuki*

Kirishima: HEY WAIT is that Midoriya in your bed---?? 👀👍

Bakugou: **SLAM**

-

DekuSquad: *comes looking for Izuku later that day* We heard Midoriya was with you?? Is everything ok?? You're not messing with him are you??

Bakugou: HEY, fuck off, You all kept me from seeing him last time, and he ended up fucking LEAVING US ALL. SO NO, I GET MY TURN WITH DEKU THIS TIME. **SLAM**

-

Izuku: hmmm what's going on? I just hear a bunch of slamming doors?? *sitting up in bed, rubbing at his eyes*

Bakugou: ...You ASSHOLES, you woke him up!!!

Everyone outside: 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

i just watched the tyler and jamie exit interviews and now i’m bawling like a baby at work

idek why i did that to myself

[justanotherwannabeclassic]

I really hate the media thrusting microphones in player’s faces as they try to work through their grief of losing a friend/colleague. It’s gross and terrible, and too many people forget that celebrities are humans, and not puppets made to dance.

Let Papyrus and Flowey grieve their dead family members

Papyrus and Flowey should bond over the fact that they both have lost an important family member (Gaster and Chara). They both need to grieve, neither seems to have had the importunity to do so.
