Tethered by shinycrash

Summary: Cherry blossoms carry new beginnings, they spur change. For Katsuki, spring is about resolutions as much as it is about embracing the past. It’s a journey he started with uncertain, admittedly small steps, but one particular moment always comes to mind this time of the year.

For Katsuki, spring is about Izuku.

ulterior motives by ladyofsnails

Summary: Katsuki had a problem. A problem in the form of the adorable, badass, selfless, selfish, kind, hot-as-fuck green haired nerd he’d known since they were both brats in hero-themed diapers (side note – the fuck kind of merch is diapers? Katsuki was going to confront All Might about that at some point. Weird as shit).

This adorable problem happened to be called Deku, and he also happened to be more oblivious than a squirrel running into oncoming traffic.

And That's The Problem by Roya1Gir1

Summary: Katsuki always thought there was only one other person besides him that was as smart as him. One person that was on the same level unlike the rest of the damn extras.

Well, that fucking thought changed in the last week.

Izuku was a blind fucking moron.

How could he not notice Katsuki’s advances?!

The only thing he hasn’t done yet is grab his stupid cute ass face and kiss him.

Fool Me Twice? by @amarisllis

Summary: “Why would you mention that stupid game?” Bakugo says, his voice growing louder. “You said—thing I was scared of… And I—and he… Now he thinks I didn’t mean it.”

Kaminari feels ice spread through his whole body so quickly that it’s almost as if Todoroki froze him. The tiny crack in Katsuki’s voice rips right through him. Mina reaches out an arm towards Bakugo but stops just shy of touching him.

The room is so silent that they can hear the crickets outside. Kirishima recovers first, letting out a tiny gasp as he puts the pieces together. “You asked him out,” he whispers, equal parts awestruck and sad. “And then we… Oh, Katsuki, we’re so sorry. We didn’t—"

Katsuki is dared to do something he's afraid of, and it pushes him to go after the one person he wants. An ill-timed comment makes Izuku think that it all meant nothing. Kaminari tries to help clean up the mess.

Dating Your Rival, by Katsuki Bakugou. by purple_anonymous

Summary: Where the fuck do people even go for dates? Katsuki has never done anything romantic in his life except maybe watch the Lion King once. Unless he was going to run away because of his uncle’s betrayal for years till Deku finds him years later and they declare their love through song under a fucking waterfall, he had absolutely no idea where the fuck.

“So… how’d it go?”

Katsuki whirled around from his place at the door, clutching a hand to his chest, “WHAT THE FUCK?”

Kirishima motioned vaguely with his hand, “How’d it go?”

“HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IN MY ROOM?”

Hero Instinct by Ellessey

Summary: Deku has been maddeningly rocking onto the back two legs of his chair over and over, so it was only a matter of time before he went flying backwards. Lucky for him, Katsuki not only anticipated this, but is able to knock Deku back into place before he can smash his stupidly busy brain all over the floor.

“Oh, gosh! Thanks, Kacchan!” Deku says, his round face turned towards Katsuki.

“Sit still, I’m not catching you again,” he growls, a little irritated by the fact that he hadn’t actually made a conscious decision to catch him this time.

the floor ain't so bad (when you're looking up) by thispieceofmind

Summary: So it becomes a once a week thing, for a little while. If it were up to Katsuki, it would be every night, but there’s no way in hell he’d let Deku know he’s so keen on spending time with him – learning from him – nor would he be okay with losing so much sleep. This school is fucking tiring, if nothing else.

you can be selfish, for me by kauLikeCow

Summary: “Bro, I’m serious. He doesn’t talk like that to anyone else in the class.”

That earns him a narrowed glance from Bakugou. “No, that’s exactly what he does, he compliments everyone. He does that to you too, you should know. Always blabbing about how cool your hardening is,” he turns back to his desk, closing the open textbooks and neatly setting them aside on his bookshelf.

“Bakugou. He didn’t even notice I was here.”

Bakugou freezes, halfway through zipping up his backpack.

Kirishima smirks. Irrefutable evidence. “Dude, has it ever occurred to you that maybe, Midoriya’s compliments are actually genuine? Like he’s not just saying that shit. He sounds like he really means it,” he suggests, trying to keep his voice even and casual.

Bakugou doesn’t move, but his red eyes uncharacteristically widen, just the slightest bit.

––––––––––

An Appetite for Love by EnduringParadox

Summary: He should have been pretty capable in the kitchen, but Izuku confused the fuck out of Katsuki at every turn and he was no different in this respect. For Eri, Izuku once managed the miracle of making candied apples, and he was well-versed in making rice and eggs—scrambled, boiled, or fried. But for anything else, somewhere between his head and hands the nerd always seemed to fuck it up.

Concoctions that came out burnt or raw or dense or sticky. Katsuki had seen all sorts of abominations scraped into the garbage, and that's where they belonged. He wouldn't eat a single bite of it, but if he did—if Izuku just asked—he could tell him exactly where he'd gone wrong.

Izuku sucked shit at cooking. But if he was going to cook regardless, then why was he feeding everyone but Katsuki?

Chapter 24 - Mad Dash and Knockdown

[mhablog]

So I have seen a lot of people saying that the first years shouldn’t have joined the plf war but I feel like people are forgetting that they are absolute chaos children and have already been involved in so many villain attacks that they probably would have gone even if the pros said no. Like they already disobeyed that direct order during the Kamino fight. They have their provisional licenses now so it’s no longer illegal for them to fight and you guys expect them to sit in the dorms and do nothing? These feral children are not going to just sit back and wait! if you watch the pros put most of them on evacuating civilians and the rest were either at the very edge of the forest as far away as the pros could probably put them with out the students felling like it wasn’t enough or a handful of them that were needed because of their incredibly specific quirks who were then immediately evacuated by fatgum when they had handled their part. The only reason any of the kids were involved in the fight was either because they decided to defy direct orders and confront the villains themselves or because shigaraki pulled a bull**** move and came back from the dead to wake up gigantomachia and the pros hadn’t planned for him waking up. Long story short the pros hadn’t planned the choice of involving the students and trying to keep them as safe and far away as possible or not involving the students and the students joining anyway and probably somehow ending up right in the middle of the fight because their luck is just that bad.

Look at this kid he kept fighting with his arms broken and you expect him to do nothing when he’s perfectly healthy? you crazy? (same if you expect his class to let him fight alone)

What is a smile to a war? : bnha 367

Have you ever wanted to die? Wish for the world to end? Have you ever lose yourself for a couple of minutes and felt like you wanted something really bad to happen to yourself or everybody else?

Has someone ever made you laugh in one of those cases— and just by that you realized how much you didn't want any of it to happen?

You were just upset.

Hold this concept in your mind, would you? Because the heart of the pro-hero thesis of bnha is that a hero not only saves your body or gets rid of the villains threatening you— they also save you from yourself sometimes, from the darkness within you; they prevent future tragedies with the force of their kindness.

Kid Deku watching a video of All Might's debut:

And he's smiling!! Mom... no matter what kind of trouble you're in... he'll save you with a smile.

⠀When we were first introduced to Deku and his admiration for All Might, the one thing the story made emphasis on was All Might's smile. Why?

Because if you're afraid and you see the person rescuing you smile, you relax, it makes you feel better, it tones down your fear and anxiety.

It gives you hope.

I won't be able to put all the panels I wish I could show you to support this meta, so I'll rely on your good memory about the manga, okay?

⠀

During the Hero License arc, we learnt that being a hero is much more than just knowing how to fight. We already knew part of it from All Might's first session (take care of the situation with the minimum amount of damage to both the property and the people surrounding the fight).

We learnt that the way a hero saves a person matters. Their words, their attitude, how they carry themselves and how they approach the victims and situations, it all matters.

With Bakugou and Todoroki we learn that the job of a hero also implies daily services, like helping kids and guiding others, stuff Iida Tensei (former pro-hero Ingenium) used to do.

That's an idea that finds its development along many arcs, the maximum point being after the War arc, with Ochako's speech. When heroes were giving up, she reminded them it was not only about defeating the greater evil, but also about wanting to see everybody smile together again.

It is an echo of Nighteye lessons to Deku and Mirio, of course. An echo we see in bnha 367:

A world without smiles or honor... has no... bright future.

⠀As you know, my thesis is based on the idea that the major problem with the hero society was how they forgot what a real hero was, but not because everything was exclusively monetized (it was still part of the problem, I gotta admit). No, the major issue was exposed by Tomura Shigaraki in his first speech in front of the UA staff and students:

Violence became comfortable for the bnha world, mundane even, to the point heroes stop trying to find the root of the problems so they could treat it and the civilians stop trying to help because they thought it was the heroes jobs, not theirs. Serious issues were getting overlooked, the system was getting corrupted and the effort of the heroes was shallow, superficial, even if well-meant.

Tomura/Tenko in his thoughts:

Everyone just passed by, pretending not to see, thinking that some hero would save the day. Who decided to make the world this way?

AFO "rescuing" Tenko, kneeling down to hug him:

You'll be okay now... I am here.

⠀Let's take Nana Shimura as an example; she was a great hero, we all know, the one who trained Toshinori and taught him that the people who smiled when they were afraid were the strongest. However, she was not perfect and she shouldn't be regarded as such. She failed her son and her family, something Kotaro was right about.

Can a hero talk about justice if they sacrifice their families to save others? Why some lives matter more than others? Why are heroes allowed to decide who lives and who dies, instead of helping everyone they can equally in the measure of their context?

Bnha narration:

People... are not born equal.

What is a smile to a war?

You could ask what is the sacrifice of a kid for the safety of the world, right? A life for the safety of the entire planet?

For Endeavor, what were his children and his family for the glory of his name and the glory of the hero industry, for example?

What is Tomura to AFO? Toga to the media?

What is Deku —a quirkless kid— to an entire society of people with quirks and cool abilities?

⠀

We learned it through Kota in the Summer Camp arc and with Eri in the Overhaul arc. Both kids. One of them was a direct victim like Tomura of the hero society, the child of a broken family who had many reasons to hate what pro-heroes were; the other was a kid victim of the discrimination of quirks, a baby abandoned by her mother and used by criminal organizations for power and gain, just exactly what AFO did to Tenko/Tomura.

Deku could save Kota and Eri because he individually cared about them. No one told him there was a problem, he was actively looking. The same with Bakugo at the beginning, Deku didn't need a reason or a command, he didn't need the title or the suit, not even the quirk. He was doing the right thing.

Deku helped Kota because Kota was upset and he wanted to change that. He payed attention to Eri because she was crying. Same reason he found his way to help Bakugo, Todoroki and Iida.

What are they to Deku's journey of defeating AFO? Nothing. And everything.

Tomura talking to Doc Garaki and the LOV:

Every living, breathing thing just rubs me the wrong way. That weight in my heart is never gonna go away. So why not destroy it all?

⠀During his fight with Endeavor, AFO asked Hawks what was evil, what could be categorized as "wrong", why everybody got so easily offended. Then revealed that his main motivation of being a villain was because he wanted to make everyone bitter, everyone, inspired on those comic books villains.

In a way, it means "I am bad, everybody's bad too"

On the other hand, Tomura's motivation to destroy it all comes for the trauma of not being rescued. Why? Didn't he deserve it? Why people wouldn't help him? Isn't it because he must play the part of a villain?

Tenko asked his mother why his father hated him. Tomara also asked the UA staff what was the difference between villains and heroes using violence, the same way Toga asked Uraraka why people wouldn't help or save them (the villains).

There is real inequality in bnha: you have people like Spinner, Shinso, Hawks, Toga, Deku, Aoyama, Dabi, Tomura, Shouto, Hatsume, Aizawa... The list keeps on growing.

There are differences. Preferences even.

If you're a pretty metahuman to be used by the hero commission or a filthy "mutant" with a weak quirk, if you have a spooky quirk or a "villain" quirk, if you're quirkless or your quirk is not flashy enough or powerful enough, if you look creepy or are not "hero material", if you are hero material even if you don't want to be one...

Inequality. Discrimination. Society prescriptions.

AFO almost won, he almost made everyone mad and bitter, including Deku in bnha 367.

⠀

Go read what Nighteye told Mirio again.

The fight against AFO (and what he represents) isn't a fight of just weapons. It was a fight with the hero society itself.

Their indifference, their apathy, their prejudices...

A smile matters in a war because why the fuck would you fight for if the only thing your gonna leave behind is a bunch of broken people who wish they were dead.

Why would you rescue Eri if you're not going to fight everyday with her trauma so that she can be happy? Why would you leave Kota to live in pain and anger without his parents when you can make his life full of light again?

What about the Cultural Festival arc?

Or rescuing Deku from his suicidal mission?

Going for Bakugo and Iida and fighting for Shouto to melt his heart??? Shouto going for Dabi???

This is why what Hawks did to Twice was wrong, because he forgot the principle of a hero:

Every lives matter.

Every smile matters.

The reason Tomura doesn't see a future is 'cause no one has ever showed him otherwise. No one saved him back then and no one has saved him (yet) in 20 years. No one told him he deserved to live and be happy, no one ever stopped and tried to make him smile or laugh or ask him if he had friends or if he liked dogs.

AFO killed Tenko the day he put those hands on him and has been dragging his body around in a parade— and even when Tomura was screaming about pain and injustice and screaming about the problem of the hero society, no one listened to him, no one tried ro reach him.

Dead.

Except Deku sees him.

⠀

Every moment of the manga, every mission and arc, every panel and interaction, it has brought us here: to Deku asking AFO if Tenko/Tomura is still in there.

What is Tenko's smile to the bnha war?

Maybe the end of it. Maybe the defeat of AFO. You have a wounded animal that will try to attack you because it's in pain. Here are your options: you can kill every wounded animal you encounter or you can go search for the cause of their pain and treat it, so the next generations won't arrive at your door full of desperation and rage.

Everyone can be a hero, because everyone can do the right thing, everyone can make others smile, everyone can save someone one day just by telling a joke or being gentle.

⠀

A smile can prevent a war.

Which is more powerful than any weapon which could stop at war.

In summary, bnha is about a society ruled by violence and miscommunication learning that if they don't reach for each other, if they don't try to understand, if their only solution is to erase what make them uncomfortable... they're doomed to dissappear.
