sorry to barge in like that i just love food headcanons especially for todobaku and have No One to talk about them with. feel free to ignore this i just wanted to say that i think you are So Right about shouto being a foodie
but i also think he would become picky. as in i think he was always picky but he would become Picky picky once he can indulge himself in it and decide what he can and can't eat on his own (this is part of my autistic shouto propaganda). i don't think he would become extra super specific about what he eats, i think he would like. allow himself not to eat certain vegetables at first (or vegetables cooked a certain way, this is just me projecting though it's also a common problem), then he would allow himself not to eat certain things - not because of health reasoning or nutrition but because he Wants to. or doesn't want to. yknow??
anyway this is just. i think you're very right about him taking agency back in eating as much or as little as he wants of What he wants, i just wanted to share my autistic shouto propaganda. spread my spores
oh this is sweet :-) i also am an advocate for the autistic shouto hc (frankly all those todoroki kids are autistic in my mind palace. manifests differently for all of them the same way it does for anyone autistic irl)
i think shouto eats like a human dumpster when he can. doesnt strike me as the kind of guy to be shy about indulging. but yeah i agree he is probably firm on what he likes/dislikes, and its nice that he gets to develop his palate and dictate that for himself from UA dorms era into adulthood. his preferences are important to him and that small freedom alone is deeply impactful. just another part of his personhood that he gets to grow into over the course of his teenage years/early adulthood and thats so wonderful
thanks for popping in to share 😝
