(1/2) I was looking at your about me and your description of how Bakugo makes you feel is so relevant to me. like I'm big into the 'everyone deserves a second chance and to get better if they truly put the effort into changing' mindset, but also I have experience with when people you think are your friends being abusive towards you and I'm just :/ not impressed with that boy. I was hoping he was changing but he really isn't bc in that recent chapter he looks down on the previous OfA holders

(2/2) for having 'weak' quirks and it is just a reminder that he is still the same person. he isn't becoming more neutral towards Izuku because he is growing as a person, he is just accepting that he has a powerful quirk now. he is literally only treating him marginally better because he's accepted that he's not 'weak' anymore and honestly I'm fuming. it breaks my heart that Izuku treats their fight like a resolution when it was really about Bakugo and his feelings not their past.

---------------------------

yea i get your mindset nony

im really big on the whole “second chances” thing esp in like narratives bc it gives me hope,,,like we all mess up at some point or another but when i messed up i took it Incredibly Hard so all the reminders that ppl can earn second chances give me hope for myself, regardless of if those reminders r fictional

however theres also, u know, lines if u will, and every line a character that eventually will get a redemption arc crosses means the greater the work theyre gonna have to do during said redemption. bakugou has crossed a couple of those and this far in the story with him only halfheartedly trying? i can understand why youd be a lil eh

i havent read the chapter where the prev users’ quirks have been revealed so i cant rlly comment on that, but ur right abt the thing abt bakugou treating midoriya better only bc he has a strong quirk now. like he has to acknowledge him now whereas he used to call midoriya “nothing more than a pebble on the side of the road”. and that’s development in its own right sure but they’ve still got a Long way to go before they can become friends is all so i understand being “:/” abt how midoriya reacts to it all

also the resolution thing made me angry as well i want midoriya to like,,,he should be able to talk to you know. when they do have an actual conversation abt their beef, mido should get to talk just as much as baku, if not more. youre completely right that their fight was abt bakugou’s feelings and not their past. im not as mad as i was before tho bc horikoshi has said in an interview that this wasnt an actual resolution to their shared issues and that there needs to be an actual apology so ive gotten closure and hope for this one sjksjk

bakugou’s just got a lot of issues and i wish hori would like,,,make him deal w them. thats what really seems to be holding him back from completely developing so far. cause like he’s said and done things that try to show he’s changing, like what he said to the kid at the remedial classes, but one step forward two steps backward with how hori has been handling it so far. progress isnt linear but i just wish we could at least see some of bakugou’s thoughts then

he can’t completely get that redemption until he clearly acknowledges he was wrong before. im still optimistic that he’ll change cause like zuko’s redemption arc happened in like a season and it still turned out fantastic and also iron man did some shitty things before becoming a superhero but he still made it through. but i get being exhausted with bakugou that way he is now

hes just ugh. so complex. he has so much potential but in canon so far he’s only lived up to some of it and it is v frustrating i know

basically my feelings are: im tired of him right now but i have so much hope he will get the development that will make him a great character. i understand why u’d lose some hope for that nony but hori himself has said that baku needs to apologize so im sure we’ll get smth!

in the meantime tho i completely understand ur feelings and im sorry u’ve had bad experiences in ur life. i know this reply has been v messy but basically im trying to say i understand how u feel but dont lose hope!! baku will get that development and midoriya will get that apology and on that day i will win

#c makes a word #answer #bakugo katsuki #this is so long im so sorry #idek if i said anything like actually relevant in here im so tired #nony i love you thank you for trusting me enough to send this #im so sorry if i fucked up answering this
