So, last week Deku called Todoroki "Shoto-kun" (anime), today we got Bakugou calling Deku "Izuku" (manga). Are, are the three musketeers gonna call each other by their first names in the movie?! At least I hope by the end of the series they do.

The three musketeers my beloved

I'd love it tbh please give me first name basis todobakudeku

I bet the ppl upset about deku crying are all dudebros without critical thinking. im surprised they didn't drop the story at the beginning tbh. A main character who actually shows his emotions, apparently thats not allowed lol

Yo honestly it really grinds my gears (yeah I'm pulling out the gear grinding also I'm about to pop off lmaooo) because the level of toxic masculinity is astounding here. Because that's what that HAS to be. There is no way we are reading the same story if you look at Izuku crying and think 'How weak. He's a crybaby.' (not you specifically anon I mean the people going after my boy)

The whole thing about strength for these guys is that they think it all boils down to this: he's crying - crying is weakness - the main character is weak - hurry up and get over it. The train of thought is clear, distinct.

But Hori has always been trying to breach those walls and show that it's okay for men to show their emotions, to cry. "Even a hero should be allowed to cry." Is such a constant theme.

We saw in DvK 2 when Katsuki finally cracks. Katsuki (in my opinion) was the epitome of 'we don't let our real emotions show in this house' up until he finally comes out and says what he has to say about how he feels. (Another thing toxic masculinity is about "We don't need to talk about feelings we repress those and ignore them.")

And now we've got Izuku refusing to let his own emotions peek through, because he is upholding what he thinks a hero is supposed to be like, and of course the I don't need help obviously I'm fine. (funny how the same standard is in toxic masculinity - "This is what a man is supposed to be. Strong and capable of handling this shit myself.").

Except, it's 320 sad boi hours, and now we finally see him cracking. It's Izuku's turn to crack like an egg. The thing is he needs to. He can't keep going on the path he's on right now, it's just not healthy, not sustainable.

On every level Izuku Midoriya needs to be allowed to have emotions, and needs a support system he can rely on. Just like everyone does.

Including men.

Ngl, Bineta is what happens when you mess with the people who hold the power.

There are the resigned fans, the ones that even though they wish for lgbtq+ representation and for their favorite gay ship to be canon, they know they're probably not gonna get it because they know that Japanese culture isn't as open to it as other cultures are.

There are the hopeful fans, who also are aware of the above but still hold hope for it to come true.

Then there are the entitled fans, the ones that just because they buy the books, watch the show in a legal site and buy the official merch they think they have some kind of ownership to it.

Let me tell you something, you really don't. This is Horikoshi's world, we're just being entertained by it. He's the god of this universe and you know what happens when you anger the gods? You get punish.

Karma is a bitch, ain't it? Guys, take Bineta and be glad it wasn't Endeavor confession to All Might or something as horrifying as that.

Keep sending Horikoshi death threats, I dare you. Man, that man is a savage.

So, this feels a lot like a hate anon coming into my asks, sending me shit for something I have no actual part of???? Look, I'm not entirely sure what the point of this was, but I know for a fact none of the people I follow or interact with would ever send Horikoshi a death threat over something like a ship. It's stupid, cruel, and immature. There's no point in it, and you know what, we're holding out on an lgbtq+ ship because we do have canon bi!Toga which is neat.

Another thing, Bineta was debunked by several Japanese fans on Twitter and is widely seen as a translation error on Viz's part. There are fan translations that have an accurate translation and have fewer edits. Viz is known for cutting out certain scenes to make the manga easier to stomach for western readers, this includes occasionally changing the dialogue.

I really don't know why you sent this to my inbox (except maybe my bineta is my villain origin story post?? which is a joke any way you look at it), but I'd appreciate it if in the future you chilled out, and just didn't. What this feels like to me is you having issues indirectly related to me and shoving your rage at me for something I didn't do/have nothing to do with.

I'm not here to fight, I'm here to enjoy a ship and enjoy a story.

my little sister was listening to imagine dragons today and their song bad liar came up and i couldn't stop thinking about Deku telling his friends that he's fine and then their new song wrecked came up and I started thinking about bkdk 😭😭😭

Girl help head empty only bkdk

I just saw the new episode and like Bakugou really put a tsundure spin into that whole ‐ stretches, puts arm around crush - thing that you see in movies all the time, lol. Also, my memory might be wrong here but didn't he do it right after Deku asked Todoroki to teach him English? Anyways, thoughts about the new episode?

Anon you are so right. Honestly, any jealous Bakugou scenes I can get my grubby little gay hands on is a treat.

It was right after Deku asked Todoroki to teach him English. Kacchan immediately elbowed and shoved Deku and made a whole ass scene about how Endeavor should have a bigger car cause he's rich 😂😂

I've been waiting for this episode for a while, because it has one of my favorite teamwork scenes and I'd been looking forward to it being animated. Also, Black Whip's full controlled debut was so clean and well done. We love to see good content in this house.

Also the VAs were amazing as always (the handling of emotions was just so good) so the entire episode was a treat.

Actually, in general this had one of the pivotal moments for Endeavor as a character (still a trash man but that's a different issue), and a telling one for Katsuki with his reaction to Endeavor telling Natsuo he doesn't have to forgive him. I was worried they might not do it justice since you really don't see him for too long (and it's only a panel in the manga), but I still think they got it across.

Todoroki's face changes and you can see the surprise, Deku makes a small noise of sadness and his expression drops, but Katsuki doesn't change. He remains still, and he just stares without a reaction, but you can still tell that he's thinking about something. I was worried that it might come off as disinterested when it was animated, but it didn't and I'm happy about it.

Ngl, ppl saying bkdks are mad at iida rn reminds me of the time the izuocha illustration came out. Dudebros were making shit up about bkdks being mad, but then the bkdks were just sitting there writing unrequited love fics

OH I FUCKING LOVE THAT SHIT

Every time I turn around the bkdks are mad about another ship getting a moment, meanwhile the reality is we're sitting here writing fanfics or drawing art just being like: How about instead we refocus on our boys. Our time will come.
