“I want my father, on his death bed—four or five years from now—to look at me and say, “That! That is the man that I raised!” And I want him to be pointing at some other boy. Because that means that maybe, just maybe, I am not his biological son!”

Why Bakugou Katsuki being the 'Love Interest' actually works

The main purpose of the love interest is to be the protagnist's main emotional connection (or should I say trigger lmao)

Their dynamic is crucial to the advancement of the story

The love interest is often the deuteroganist

The narrative often rewards their attempts to reconciliation

Bring out each others strengths and flaws

From the very first episode, Izuku has always reacted strongly when Katsuki is involved. He is a spectator to the Sludge Villain till he realised who was trapped. Then his body moved on its own

Katsuki didn't know that Izuku had a quirk till their first day at UA--he assumed that Izuku had gotten into the school without a quirk and went 'yeah that checks'

Izuku tells him the secret of OFA on the very first day--he doesn't even tell anything to his mother

Izuku escapes the villains in USJ by copying Katsuki and screaming DIE as he jumps off a boat

Seriously, most people would think 'What would Bakugou do?' and then proceed to do the complete opposite. Everyone except this mad lad apparently

Izuku wins the sports race by doing what he thought Kacchan would do

Omfg I completely forgot the nicknames. Nicknames

Especially Kacchan--Katsuki doesn't even protest to this cutesy nickname even once during the entire story. Sus.

Katsuki wins his match against Uraraka because he thought she had taken advice from Deku and he prepared the required counter attack

Seriously these guys can anticipate each others movements so well it's scary

Izuku masters some control over OFA by once again thinking 'What would Kacchan do?'

Seriously that's like his foolproof plan for every situation and it works???

Aizawa placing them against All Might for their exam solely because of their dynamic--he knew what a powerhouse they could be together if they just learnt how

Izuku: *hears that one of the objectives of the training camp attack is to kill him*

Izuku: *completely ignores that* omg kacchan!

*life or death situation where accurate information is necessary* Izuku: One of the targets is Kacchan!

Hero: Who???

1a: omg it's midoriya (love how that's how they recognise him, it's so distinct)

Stay back Deku

Izuku's complete break down screaming when Katsuki is kidnapped

"It was a complete failure"

He literally risks everything to save him

Deku vs Kacchan Part 2 *ctrl+c*

The highlights: 'you're my image of victory', 'closer to me than All Might'

Cannot believe I almost forget the several panels towards the end of DvK2

just leaving these over here

s4 didn't really have a lot them because it was focused on other things (and it actually gave them the space the needed after whatever DvK2 was) so moving onto the Joint Training

"Keep your eyes on me Deku"

Izuku just,,, ignorning everything else and focusing on Katsuki's match (when he was constantly talking and analysing for the last three)

Katsuki being Izuku's trigger for blackwhip *chef's kiss*

Okay, detour for a second. Ochako hugging Izuku when his quirk goes crazy can be likened to a very similar scene between Aang and Katara in Avatar. However, Katara succeeds in calming him down. Ochako is not.

More than that, the narrative seems to punish Ochako for her feelings towards Deku. Punish is a harsh word but that is exactly what is happening

When she realises them, she almost fails her exam

Toga is able to get away with Ochako's blood during the training camp because she gets distracted

It inhibits her performance in the joint training arc

She consciously realises that her feelings are pulling her back during the war and makes an effort to ignore them

And during chapter 342, it is a perfect opportunity for her to tell Izuku how she feels. A confession before the final battle is such a staple. But she doesn't. She's not even thinking about them at that point, instead, focusing on what she has to do as a hero.

On the flip side, we keep seeing how Izuku and Katsuki becoming closer is actually rewarded by the narrative?

You get Katsuki being his confidant about OFA (which he learns about 200 chapters before everyone else, not considering when Izuku flat out tells him in s1)

Izuku often becomes a better hero by taking ideas from Katsuki

The war arc--omfg the war arc

Katsuki coming along with Izuku when he's going after Shigaraki

The flashback to training with All Might, where he's like, I want to keep him at arm's distance

I feel that Katsuki is talking about how Izuku continuously keeps disregarding his own well being and that makes it so difficult to be close to him because witnessing that over and over again?

His sheer panic when he's not able to help

Taking charge of the situation (even when you have the number one pro right there) and making a plan on the spot that no one argues about

My body moved on its own

The parallels fuck me up every single time

I very much appreciate that this chapter is called Bakugou Katsuki Rising

Izuku's sheer rage when AFO insults Katsuki's sacrifice--he just snaps

Katsuki literally had a quirk evolution so that he could reach Izuku in time

I have never felt this way before, like I am on death's doorstep

Katsuki you were no were near the fight happening in the sky. You have almost died several times. But this is the closest you've been to feeling like you were dying???

Katsuki running through the hospital (including ripping out the IV???) to find Izuku when he heard he was in a coma

Omg I almost forgot Izuku's 'Kacchan and everyone else' agenda

Time and time again during even the vigilante arc we see Izuku thinking about war and Katsuki is almost always at the forefront of that

The sheer poetic brilliance of when Izuku is just about to give up, his symbol of victory shows up to save him

Katsuki saying he's the one who knows Deku best and absolutely no one disagrees

Every single fucking thing that Katsuki tells Izuku when they're trying to get him to come back, it's all so hard hitting and exactly what he needed to hear

The apology! Hallelujuah

Izuku--

Like seriously, which fanfic is this

Katsuki was actually so much further away than the others but guess who caught Izuku when he fell--

His continuous effort to be better is just--I have many emotions

Katsuki is always by Izuku's side after the vigilante arc--even during the UA traitor reveal, he was there right next to him

I really like the symbolism behind it

Their whole dynamic is flawless

I love them

(logan secretly doesn't mind)

based on this post

do you ever just regret

i just

#idk what to think anymore

thelowlysatsuma

okay. OKAY. you know what i think the fandom needs more of?

logan calling patton nicknames

it’s not. like. a conscious thing at first?

legit it starts when lo accidentally makes a pun about patton being virgil’s dad

which he will swear to his dying day that he did not intend as a pun

but anyway, patton first hears it and reacts as he usually does when logan makes a pun

(ie, squealing excitedly)

but then

THEN

he realizes that while logan was saying said pun, he called patton “pat”

patton’s face promptly splits into the absolute WIDEST grin, and he immediately breaks off the squealing to go absolutely quiet

logan, who is not expecting this sudden absence of loud noises, glances over at him

and patton just looks at him like he’s the most wondrous thing in the world, and slowly, softly, breathes

“you called me pat”

logan, naturally, waffles awkwardly between denying such a thing ever happened and being like “???? why is that important???”

(lmao it’s hella awkward and virgil, who’s witnessed this whole ordeal, is killing himself laughing)

but finally logan gathers his wits enough to say something along the lines of “but i don’t get it. why would me calling you a- a nickname produce such a reaction?”

and pat just gives a kinda helpless shrug and, still smiling gently, casually replies “well, i dunno! guess i just like it”

and from then on, logan notices something… odd occurring in his speech patterns

his grammar is impeccable as usual. his attempts at using a more modern vernacular have the same 20/80 success rate they always do. his speech is still con and precise

and yet

every once in a while, he finds himself calling patton… nicknames

it’s horrible

at first they were rather innocuous: “pat”, and the like

but since then, to logan’s increasing annoyance, they’ve become much more…. teasing. joking.

affectionate

“and what’s mr. morality up to?”

“FINE, f i n e, call in the nice one, i don’t c a r e”

“pat? patton? patsicle? patty-cake?”

it is INFURIATING. he can’t STOP.

he blames this entirely on roman. he’s not sure how, mind you. but somehow this is roman’s fault

(one time, they were debating the merits of different kinds of sweeteners. he nearly called patton “sweetheart”. he realized where the sentence was going about halfway through said word, and abruptly broke into a furious coughing fit. he maintains the redness in his face was from lack of oxygen. virgil and roman aren’t convinced)

and then, of course, there’s the effect this whole affair is having on patton

because every time logan uses (and he shudders at the thought of calling it this, but he doesn’t see another appropriate term) a pet name

patton just absolutely melts

his hands fly to his cheeks, or his mouth. his gaze goes soft, and his eyes widen. he’ll sometimes run a hand through his hair, or bite his bottom lip. and he’ll just

beam

at logan

something will snap him out of it after a few seconds, whether it be a brisk shake of the head (to figuratively clear it, logan thinks with some amusement), a dry cough from virgil, a boisterous comment from roman, or a throat-clearing from logan himself as he attempts to disarm the situation by abruptly changing the subject

but the fact remains that these moments occur when – and only when – logan calls him nicknames

(it’s a completely different reaction when any of the others do it, some smugly satisfied part of logan notes. the soft gaze is reserved for him and him alone. this part of his mind is, naturally, immediately beaten down into some dark corner and promptly abandoned for dead)

anyways, please consider awkward, flustered, lovely logan just instinctively giving patton nicknames and pet names please and thank you

(and. uh. if at one point logan accidentally calls him sweetheart again? and if patton, very carefully, very casually replies with “yeah, dear?”?)

(well, then that’s no one’s business but their own)
