And the Room Falls Silent
For kids, turning four was the year that would make or break them. In a hero-based society, quirks dictated worth.
Izuku’s life was considered over the moment he was confirmed to be quirkless. After losing everyone who cared for him and being bullied by those he was close with for everything he said or did, Izuku shut down.
Izuku developed symptoms of a severe social phobia at the ripe age of six. Inko was shattered, watching as her brilliant and bright child faded away. Not only did she start getting reports from the school that Izuku wasn’t speaking at all, he no longer talked with her.
Midoriya pointed and shook his head to speak. With the silence, Izuku started to cry a lot more. Despite all of that, Izuku did technically speak every day. It was only one phrase. Inko could barely hear it with Izuku's face buried in her shoulder.
“I love you, Mom.”
Izuku never left the house and strayed far away from the playground after he returned home with bruises one eventful day. Inko didn’t want him to leave anyways. Inko felt better knowing he was safe at home. Even after Izuku went completely mute at six, he still had aspirations to become a hero. He continued his hobby of writing in his notebooks and buying All Might merchandise.
Izuku's shut-in habits carried on for the rest of elementary all the way through middle school. Izuku had no friends and he didn’t bother trying to pursue having a social life. Having no distractions allowed him to focus on school. He had the highest score in his class for a reason. He often tied with Katsuki for first place in terms of intelligence. Katsuki didn’t like that.
Even if Izuku admired Katsuki from afar, he never let his biggest bully notice. Izuku avoided Katsuki to the best of his ability. Even if Izuku made effort to stay away, Katsuki chased. He'd never admit it, but he stalked Izuku.
Katsuki hadn't planned on spying on Izuku in the beginning. He assumed Izuku was ignoring him to act higher than him. Then it turned into spying. It was a shock to Katsuki after following Izuku, to find seeing that he refused to speak to anyone. If necessary, he’d use sign language to convey a message or write it down.
Once it became clear to Katsuki that Izuku was mute and not ignoring him, the situation shifted a bit. Suddenly he waited for the moment when he'd hear Midoriya's voice again. He wanted to know if it deepened or if it was still high-pitched and girly. Soon it sank in that he'd most likely never hear Midoriya's voice again.
In most of their classes, when you were called on, you answered the question on the board. You didn’t have to really say it out loud unless it was necessary for the subject matter. Izuku was able to get through school with close to no problems. He endured the bullying and pushed forward.
Inko had done her best to help. She tried everything in the book: speech therapy and child psychologists, and she sought out a pediatrician. Not much could be done. She tried all the tricks they offered her: shaping, self-modeling, and the list goes on.
It became clear the trigger of it was bullying and the traumatizing experience he endured at the ripe age of four. His dreams were shattered and everyone turned their back on him at a time when he needed support the most.
Izuku did see a therapist to open up about his bullying, but still only ever used sign language. When Izuku was being confronted by his bullies (classmates and teachers) he never once spoke. He had no desire to be a part of the world that surrounded him. He enjoyed submerging himself in the quiet.
Despite the odds, Izuku managed to save Katsuki from the sludge villain and impress Toshinori. Izuku had spoken to Toshinori, feeling safe and excited enough to use his words. Just like that, Izuku was on his way to obtaining the most power quirk to currently exist.
Izuku built a really strong bond with Toshinori, discussing his life and how he was selectively mute. Toshinori was grateful Izuku opened up about his life. While Izuku dedicated ten months to training from U.A. Toshinori dedicated ten months to learning sign language. While he didn’t have to use it to speak to Izuku, he wanted to make it easy for Izuku to talk to him.
Izuku probably had no one in his life that he could easily talk to by using sign. Izuku most likely had to write everything out for people to understand. It wasn’t ideal when he was Izuku’s mentor.
Izuku makes it into U.A. High and kept to himself. On the first day Uraraka thanked Midoriya for saving her. Iida greeted Izuku, beyond impressed with Izuku’s bravery. Izuku made it known he was mute, but he could hear. While it didn’t make them hate him, it kinda created a barrier in terms of communication. Everyone was beyond nice, but Izuku didn’t really click with anyone.
Being the current wielder of One for All, Izuku took control of how to handle his quirk development. As a result, Izuku was more open with Aizawa. He explained that he didn’t have a lot of experience with his quirk. His body had to become strong enough to withstand the tole his quirk would have on him. Aizawa recognized that Izuku had spent his time preparing for his quirk since he couldn’t train something he legitimately couldn’t use.
Aizawa was the second person to earn Izuku’s trust. Izuku still didn’t say more than a few words and he didn't speak to Aizawa if others were present. No other teachers or students had heard Midoriya’s voice.
Kirishima and Todoroki were the first two to hear Midoriya’s voice out of the class. Katsuki was also there, but it was the first time he’d heard Izuku speak since he was six.
It was during the USJ attack. Izuku leaped into action to save Toshinori.
“You stupid villain!”
If it hadn’t been in the heat of the moment, the three would’ve been more surprised by him speaking rather than the fact Izuku was about to die. Katsuki was undeniably unnerved. He was so used to the idea of Izuku’s voice still being exactly how it was nine years ago. It really got to him when Izuku’s voice was significantly deeper and he sounded so angry you could hear the words ripping through his vocal cords.
Then the sports festival came around, it went smoothly at the start. Izuku won the first event, had a great group during the second event, and was now in the final event. Izuku was against Shinso first. Ojiro was very aware Izuku was mute, but he was now aware Izuku could speak if he chose to. After filling in Izuku about Shinso’s ability to brainwash a person once they speak, Izuku thanked Ojiro. It meant a lot to him for Ojiro to seek Midoriya out to help him.
When the round started, Shinso went on a tangent. Izuku listened but ignored the anger that brewed in his gut. Shinso may have been saying those things simply to provoke Izuku, but it was extremely disrespectful for his life story to be assumed by someone he never met before.
Izuku had to fight quirkless considering he could really hurt Shinso if he used his quirk. He couldn't control his output so there was a slim chance he could kill Shinso. So they duked it out. It didn’t take too long for Izuku to knock Shinso out of bounds.
When going against Todoroki, Izuku knew what he was dealing with. Todoroki had told Izuku about his reasons for not using his second quirk: fire.
Midoriya understood what Todoroki was feeling. The effects of how he was treated by being quirkless resulted in a long list of problems. Izuku couldn’t begin to imagine the effects abuse had on him, not to mention the dysfunctional family not providing any help.
Izuku saw past all of that and knew Todoroki needed help. While he wasn’t going to throw away the competition, he wasn’t going to let Todoroki struggle either.
Izuku found himself yelling at Todoroki. Izuku wanted to test the waters, but ultimately just had to push Todoroki’s buttons. Despite the pain both Todoroki and Izuku were enduring from their battle. This match was a lot more than just winning the sports festival.
Then came workplace internships to gain experience. Hosu was under attack and the Stain incident occurred. Izuku managed to become a “true hero” alongside All Might. It was impressive considering Izuku is the second person Stain has claimed to be a true hero. The situation brought Izuku, Todoroki, and Iida closer together.
When final exams rolled around, working with Katsuki to go against Toshinori was a strange situation. Katsuki was still beyond temperamental. Everyone knew the two didn’t along and Katsuki was still hostile towards Izuku. The fight was brutal and the two teens had their air knocked out of their lungs more times than they could count.
Izuku still had yet to speak directly to Katsuki. Katsuki overheard Izuku talking, but Izuku still hadn’t spoken to Katsuki. Imagine his surprise when he is punched in his puke-covered face by Izuku to hear his yelling.
“Don’t you dare say you’d rather lose!”
The final exams ended and summer arrived. Summer would've gone great yet their "summer vacation: went horribly wrong. The league of villains decided to ambush the teens.
Izuku hadn't spoken the entire trip until he was alone with Kota. He hated seeing Kota give up on the world just like he did. After all the child was only five. In hopes to change Kota’s fate, he spoke up.
“If you reject it that harshly, the only person getting hurt is yourself,” explained Izuku, patient with the kid who had an explosive personality like Katsuki.
While Kota didn’t react well to Izuku’s advice, he was enraptured by Izuku’s voice. When he kicked Midoriya in the balls, Mandalay shunned him but also revealed Midoriya was mute.
Muscular appears and he is out for blood. Muscular tried to kill Kota and Izuku was not going to let it happen. In a fit of panic and rage, Izuku screamed out. Seeing Kota use his quirk in desperation ignited a fire in him.
“As if… I’d let you kill him!”
Not even moments later, Katsuki was kidnapped and in the midst of despair, Izuku couldn’t stop the scream that echoed through the forest. That also didn’t stop his scream that conjoined with the crowds in the final battle between All Might and All for One. It seemed as if the world was coming back together just to fall apart again.
During the provisional hero license exam, Izuku once again had to scream. It was targeted at Todoroki and Yoarashi for almost getting Shindo killed.
“Dammit! What are you two doing!”
Izuku’s blunt choice of words helped the two get their asses back into order and focus on the mission at hand. Soon enough the provisional hero license exam ended and the results were in.
While Todoroki and Katsuki were away for their required remedial course, Izuku would face his biggest battle yet. Alongside the big three, a handful of his classmates, and some pro heroes, Izuku was to rescue a wonderful girl name Eri and help defeat the villain Overhaul.
Izuku was a lot more vocal in this fight for Eri’s sake. Despite his mind holding him back at the thought of others hearing, he shut it down and kept his focus on Eri. Nothing matter except saving Eri. Calling out to Eri was the most freeing and horribly exhilarating thing.
After recovery and returning back to school, it was time to prepare for the school festival. For a bit, things were perfect. Izuku could fall back into the shadows and relax. He didn’t have to speak and could enjoy time with Mirio and Eri.
Eri was amazed that Izuku was selectively mute. That meant she was super special for Izuku to have spoken to her. Izuku was fond of her reaction, flashing her a bright smile.
One weekend class 1-A wanted to go to the mall. Aizawa decided it was also the perfect time to show Eri the outside world. Eri stuck with Izuku, missing him from not seeing him much after the school festival.
Todoroki and Katsuki for some odd reason were the two that wandered around Izuku. You could blame their curiosity on Eri. She was stuck on his hip yet they had no idea how she knew Izuku. The mission Izuku was a part of was confidential.
Things never went smoothly with class 1-A. Aizawa had taken Eri for a bit while Izuku went to the bathroom. Despite his keen eye, Aizawa lost Eri. Izuku knew something fishy was happening. The last time he was in the mall, he was attacked by Shigaraki.
Half of the class stayed inside the mall while the other half was to observe the outside in case she wandered off far. Izuku, Todoroki, and Katsuki are stationed outside. Izuku was on the top floor of the mall, running around on the catwalk.
Izuku has no clue where to look or what to do. The panic settled in and people were everywhere. While everything in his head is screaming at him to return to the quiet and retreat, Izuku talked a deep breath and calls out into the world.
“Eri-chan!”
Izuku was turning around in circles, his mind reeling at the fact she could be anywhere. Todoroki and Katsuki heard Izuku call out and started head over. While they were trying to get to Izuku, Izuku spotted something out of the ordinary.
A car was approaching. Whoever was at the wheel drove sporadically. Taking a look at the diver, he immediately recognized the man as a villain. Seeing no one was in the car, Izuku went to work.
Stepping onto the railing, Izuku jumped off and down a level. Izuku ran forward, launching himself down the building. Once reaching the ground, Izuku landed right before the speeding car. Katsuki was blasting his way over, screaming for Izuku to get out of the way. From his view, the driver was now trying to swerve out of the way, but they weren’t going to make it.
Todoroki was sending out ice, trying to build an ice barrier between Izuku and the car. Despite their worries, Izuku had it under control. Izuku turned away from the car, drew back his leg, and t-boned the car with a single kick.
Katsuki and Todoroki stilled, seeing Izuku demolish the car with ease. When the two caught up to Izuku, they soon realized this was going to be the getaway driver. Moments later Aizawa alerts everyone Eri was found and the villain was arrested. Todoroki informs Aizawa about what happened and another police officer was sent their way.
Izuku and Eri were reunited. Eri jumped into Izuku’s arms and Izuku rested her on his hip. When the police came for a statement, Izuku grabbed a pen and wrote it down. He was not in the mood to talk.
Todoroki had no problem with Izuku’s silence and sighed to himself. “I thought you were going to die back there.”
“Yeah! What the hell was that nerd! Trying to get yourself killed?” shouted Katsuki.
Izuku smirked at the two before shrugging and walking away with Eri. While Katsuki was left standing there with a pissed frown, Todoroki mindlessly followed after his friend with a smile.
Silence was a bitch.
The end!

who do you believe would be a fitting english va for Link?
i've tried very hard to find an answer to this question. the thing is i am VERY picky when it comes to voice acting, ESPECIALLY english voice acting. and because I tend to like japanese voice acting more (if only because im not good enough at the language to pick up weird tone shifts lmao) my mental voice for link is almost always japanese. It also doesn't help that link's voice in my mind is a niche that doesn't have a lot of examples ESPECIALLY with male voice actors. to me his voice is higher-pitched (tboy swag) and soft but NOT nasally or voiced by a female actress. which like. i cant think of a single other male character who is voiced this way in english. so tldr i literally cannot find a good english example of what i imagine his voice sounding like LMAO. i swear this is not for lack of trying tho

Hair
@blueskittlesart i made this off of that ask you received about oot links hair that i cant find
“Link.” A sound. Someone talking.
“Wake up.” He really didn’t want to, but he felt rather odd.
“Link, the chosen one.” He didn’t feel like a chosen one. He felt like a child in way over his head.
When he finally opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was his new height. The second thing he noticed was that he was now wearing pants, which he definitely had not put on before attempting to pull the Master Sword. The third thing he noticed was the man standing in front of him.
“I am Rauru, one of the ancient Sages.” Well, that answered the question of Rauru’s name, and raised a question about Sages.
“Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm.” Okay, that got Link’s attention. He still wasn’t sure what a sage was, but if the person in front of him helped build the Temple of Time, he could definitely help answer his questions.
“This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the Temple of Light.” Wait, what? Wasn’t he inside the Temple of Time? Where’s the Temple of Light?
“The Temple of Light, situated in the very center of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold against Ganondorf’s evil forces. The Master Sword–the evil-destroying sword that yout pulled out of the Pedestal of Time–was the final key to the Sacred Realm.” Well. That wasn’t good. He vaguely remembered Ganondorf laughing at him when he pulled the sword before he was completely unconscious, but if his new height was anything to go by, he’d been out for far longer than he would have liked, which brought a new question about his hair to mind. Shouldn’t it be longer?
“Link, don’t be alarmed, look at yourself!” He took this opportunity to look at himself properly, and realized he was now much taller. Navi made some obvious commentary about him being older, and he rolled his eyes at her. She could be annoying and obvious sometimes, but he’d never trade her for anything.
Rauru proceeded to explain that the Master Sword had sealed him outside of time until he was old enough to wield it properly. Apparently he now held the title “Hero of Time,” but he didn’t feel much like a hero. He also found out that Ganondorf gained access to the Sacred Realm when he pulled the Master Sword, and had subjugated Hyrule. He was really starting to hate him. He was informed that to stop Ganondorf, he’d have to find the rest of the sages.
Once Rauru concluded his speech and gave Link the Light Medallion, he prepared to send Link back to the land of the living.
“Wait!” Link shouted. He winced; seven years of disuse hadn’t been kind to his vocal cords. Startled, Rauru stopped the process.
“What is it, Hero?”
‘Shouldn’t my hair be longer?’ Link signed. This gave Rauru pause. With a more deadpan expression, Link responded to the deafening silence by asking ‘Did you cut my hair. R-A-U-R-U. Answer me R-A-U-R-U.’
“Well, er, I assumed you wouldn’t want it too long.” Link responded to this by asking ‘I definitely wasn’t wearing pants when I pulled the Master Sword. What did you do.’ Rauru winced. “So I may have replaced your old clothes with ones that would fit. That did happen to include your underwear.”
Rauru decided that, while he had used magic when replacing Link’s clothes to maintain the hero's dignity, sending Link back quickly was in his best interest, before Link managed to regain his senses enough to charge at him with a rather pissed expression on his face.

Navi tinks eagerly at the brother — at the self — with whom she feels kindred at once. he is not her link, but he is a link all the same. She floats about his shoulders before back to the kokiri, motioning with his hands to explain his words, communication he’s learned in the way of the kokiri when he has never been one to speak. “hey! do you know the great deku tree??” the little fairy asks, shrill tones resounding. her partner is curious.
A faint smile dances on his lips at the sight of the fairy as well as the other Link paired with her. He knows that fairies from that time regularly found themselves connected to another, or at least that's what he's been told, and he can't help but think of one whenever he sees the other.
Fisted hand and head bob in a nod. Fingertips then tap together before releasing. His elbow of his left arm settles on his flattened right arm, his left hand swinging side to side as he moves his head across his chest. << Yes. It's in the Lost Wood. >> he replies, before pointing vaguely in the direction of the mysterious forest. It's just north of the Castle and it was where he found the Sword that Seals the Darkness. Both times, in fact.

@starshinc​​ said:  [ ESCORT ] receiver notices the sender is starting to get sleepy so they pick them up to carry them to bed. - Izuku to Ochako <3 / prompted. 
Tumblr media
she’s not sure when exactly izuku dozed off, but he’d been snoring lightly for the past half an hour in her ear. ramen was asleep at the foot of the sofa, mochi nestled safely into his side, grooming herself and flicking an orange tail. it actually was the most adorable thing to see: izuku’s dog and her cat getting along. who would’ve thought that the both of their pets would get along so well?
ochako had let izuku sleep. as part of his payment and her thanks for izuku making her new upgrades to her hero sit, she’d invited izuku over for a movie night! she’d made snacks, got the movies together, even washed and pre-warmed her fave throw blankets to make them smell nice so they could be extra snuggly. 
but, as fun as the night had been, ochako hadn’t realized how tired izuku was. she was much more on the night owl side than she was a morning person. but ramen and izuku had passed out quite some time ago. the two must’ve had an early start. in izuku’s sleep were little mumbles of words that made ochako’s heart soar. she wondered if he knew of his sleep talk?  then again, perhaps best not to say anything to him about it.
it was so frequent at one point, ochako had even muted the tv to make sure she wasn’t hearing things! but, yes! those were words alright. the tv now had subtitles flicking by rather than the sounds of what was happening: oh, the movie didn’t matter any longer she was too intrigued at hearing his voice instead. 
in particular, izuku’s laugh was her favorite. so light and airy! joyful. and whenever she heard it, she smiled, happy to know that he was having a happy dream. he deserved it. that and so very much more. 
after the movie ended, ochako also began to get sleepy. but --- she couldn’t just leave a support student  and his dog in 1-a’s common room without an explanation. she also didn’t want to wake izuku up. so, as gently as possible, ochako uses her quirk on deku to make him float. once he floats, ramen wakes and blinks his cute sleepy eyes at ochako. she just smiles, and beckons him to follow her, which he does, with mochi at his heels. mochi doesn’t want to be away from her new ( and warm ) ball of fluff. 
Tumblr media
after shutting everything off, ochako guides izuku and her pet friends to her dorm and shuts the door behind her. she releases izuku gently down onto her bed, and as soon as she does, he nestles into her covers all cute like and ochako’s cheeks warm with the action. ramen yawns and curls at the foot of ochako’s bed, mochi finds her perch by the window to gaze at the stars. ochako shuts the lights off, tucks izuku in, taking great care to brush the green curls away from his eyes and gives his hand a squeeze. she then curls with a throw blanket into a wicker moon chair her family had sent her for her birthday and shuts tired eyes. “ mmm. g’night izuku. sleep well. ” she says, though she’s sure, he cannot hear her, and drifts off to sleep herself.

I thought I swore off my hero academia years ago but here I am reading Yesterday Upon the Stair. Not particularly interesting (not a fan of Fanon Deku) and hard to read (cringy) at some points, but I was curious about what people were raving about. Maybe it’ll get better in the next 50 chapters. Just gotta hold out and maybe I’ll find a great fic. 4/10 so far.
#complaint time yay#I was a bit wary of the fic due to the BAMF tag but still expected the scenes to be minor#fortunately there are like maybe two scenes that ‘fit’ that tag so far#on the other hand the writing hyper focuses on whatever Deku’s up to so the aforementioned scenes really stand out#the scene where Deku first goes ‘my friends are scarier than you’ really pulled me out of the fic immediately#when he starts trash talking bakugou I was convinced he was going to get an ass beating (because it’s pre redemption bkg) but bkg just… let#him go away? (according to my memory but it’s really trash)#the second scene where his weird tagline shows up again against shigiraki the part where we usually get to see other classmates interact#with Deku he starts pulling out the intimidation tactics? and they’re working? it’s so jarring I actually had to look away from my phone to#process it. everybody hates writing about large groups of characters but the background characters in this fic are so in the background you#don’t even hear about them. I saw platonic tddk in the tags and he’s been mentioned once? by bakugou?#the fic is so focused on Deku that you barely know if canon is happening in the background#a more in depth description of his childhood would be nice too#suddenly throwing in that he was mute for a little bit when he was seven (???) and that he has a massive fucking scar on his face is a bit#surprising#anyways my tumblr is glitching out so I’ll continue at a later date#rant#not tagging this as mha because I want to rant into the void#also I’m at chapter 10 so if my (very biased) critiques are wrong then whoopsie#oh man this *is* getting really hard to read (cringe wise)#additional ranting about not having any updates on canon: are we supposed go believe that Deku and Ochako are buddy buddy like usual? their#dynamic is completely different?#we barely to get to see him interact with non dead people#or almight and Aizawa

i think that there’s something different about bakugo and how he ages. and by that i mean he ages really well. like really well.
he’s not somebody that likes to stick his head into social media unless he absolutely has to, but he’s defiantly seen the comments from people staring how they’ve never been happier that he divorced (he agrees) and that he’s back to dating (he’s not really, but he’ll indulge them). it’s funny too because his friends don’t seem to be getting the same amount of attention they got when they were in their twenties, but it seems that it never changed for bakugo. in fact, the added scars and muscle seemed to have just helped his image. deku would grumble every now and then, but it didn’t change anything that bakugo was still easy on the eyes.
and sure he could pretend that the word dilf hasn’t passed his ear once or twice but he tries to hide the redness of his cheeks as he tries to shove it all down.
so when he’s on patrol one night and he hears a childlike scream, it’s not only his hero sense that goes off but his dad sense as well.
so he’s sprinting as fast as he can, trying to track down the sound when he bumps into a figure at the round of the corner. he hears a muted groan as they fall to the ground from his impact, and he winces as he tries to help them back up.
“watch it!” the voice yells, massaging their forehead as they try to get a better look at him.
“sorry…ya’ hurt anywhere? need me to take’ya to a hospital?” he’s much better with people than he was back then, but he can still hear the awkward tilt in his voice. he gives you an apologetic wince as you roll your eyes, still not able to see him fully in the dim light.
“no, i just fell. i’m fine,” you touch the sensitive skin as you groan at the pain, already feeling something form, “damn, that hurts.”
“sorry, really,” he says, but still trying to look around you for who had just screamed, “but, by any chance, ‘ya hear who screamed?” and he can just tell your glare burning into the side of your face.
“yeah,” you fidget with your sleeve in annoyance, “me.”
“not now,” he wants to say sarcastically, but he can’t because he’s a public figure and he has to control that urge, “couple minutes ago.”
he hears you snort, looking back into the neighborhood as you nod again.
“yeah, still me.”
he pauses, scratching his head as he tried to math that sound to your voice. it could have matched?
“why….why’d you scream? you okay?” he sounds so stupid, towering over you but acting like an idiot as you roll your eyes.
“cause a fuckin’ bug flew into my face.”
he nods in understanding, now feeling bad that he not only knocked you down but did it after you were so viciously attacked.
there’s a silent beat as the two of you have nothing to say, and he almost wants to just jog off.
“you owe me.” you say, kicking a pebble around as he can feel his brows furrow in confusion.
“for what?” his voice is gruff, but even you can tell that without needing to see him he’s good looking.
“knocking me over and giving me a bruise,” your arms cross, “i want compensation. or i can do the same to you.”
he groans, squeezing his eyes shut as he tries to imagine anyway else his night could have ended. all he wanted to do was go home early and spend some time with his daughter but he got himself caught up in this.
“can take you to a hospital, like i offered.”
you shake your head, looking around as you track down a small shop down the corner of the road.
“that bakery’s closed,” you point over to a small building with purple fringes, its lights off as he tracks what you’re motioning to him, “it opens at four everyday and it always runs out of shit at six. get me one of their croissants.”
he almost wants to say ‘or else….’ but you beat him to it before he could even mutter the words.
“or else you can stand over there and i’ll ram into you.”
and he won’t lie, even though both of your ultimatums were terrible at least he could crack a grin at the last one. and anyways, he was battered and bruised from the villain he fought the afternoon and was in no mood ready to be speared so close to finishing his patrol.
“fuckin’ hell,” he murmurs, digging his phone out of his pocket as he unlocks it, going to his contacts app as he outreaches it to you, “put your number in.”
“why?”
“so i can call you to give you you’re fuckin’ croissant tomorrow.”
your eyes comically widen, not believing it was that easy to bribe somebody to get you the one thing you’ve been wanting the past few weeks. you graciously take it as you jam your number in, putting your name after.
when you pass it back to him, the light of the screen luminaries his face and you gasp, feeling your heart drop to your ass when you realize who it actually is. here you can see the infamous red eyes, wheat colored hair freckled with gray as he looks over your name.
“cute name.” he grunts, muttering your it under his breath so that he doesn’t forget it. he even gives you a little wink as he walks away, almost gracing your shoulder as you stand there motionless.
a couple minutes your phone buzzes with a text, and you whip it out to see who it was. even if it said unknown you had a guess who it was seeing his first text.
unknown: forgot but i got playdate duties tmr so can’t pick ur shit up
and then another one came in
unknown: get some good clothes for tmr night and i can fly you over to get some
your lips pout slightly as you try to decipher what the hero was trying to get at, texting back a confused where as you try to pretend that your cheeks weren’t heating up because of this all. it was surely out of the blue, nothing you would have expected from shrieking because of an insect, but even more so was what he sent next.
unknown: place in france i heard is good
unknown: thought u wanted croissants?

A breeze slipped through the slightly ajar window of your apartment, filling your bedroom with the smell of rain. The world outside was blanketed in a thick mist, the city was still asleep, muted to a quiet hum. It was a chilly morning, the kind that would have you reaching for a warm cup of coffee and a cozy sweater. But for you, it was perfect.
The sun wasn't even up yet, and you were curled up in bed, buried deep under a pile of blankets. Your makeshift nest kept you warm, while the cold air from the window nipped at your nose. Every breath you took was crisp morning air and the smell of rain-soaked soil. It was a smell you loved, one that always soothed you when you were sick. With a soft sigh, you snuggled deeper into the comforters, letting the calm of the early morning lull you back to sleep.
The world could wait.
With your face nestled into the cool sheets, you were on the verge of slipping back to sleep. At least you were, before a sudden melody filled the room. The calming marimba cover of the Final Fantasy intro was a sound only assigned to your closest party members. With a groan, you reluctantly popped your head out from under the warm cocoon of your comforters. Your fingers clumsily fumbling for the source of the noise. The cellphone screen hurt, even with the reduced brightness of night mode, and you squinted at it, trying to make out the caller ID. Your heart skipped a beat as your eyes finally focused on the TNT emoji that popped up with the video call.
Katsuki.
A facetime call? This early? Your sleepy confusion only got worse. Your… well, you weren't quite sure what to call him. Best friend? Lover? Bro with benefits? It was complicated. Bakugo was supposed to be away on a mission in another country. Their facetime calls were always scheduled ahead of time, taking into account the time difference and the unpredictable work shifts you both had. An unscheduled call like this was… unusual, let alone a video chat. With a sense of growing dread, your mind started racing with possibilities. Was the mission a success? Was he okay? What if something had happened?
Pushing down the worry that had begun to creep up, you swiped to connect the video call. Your heart pounded in your chest as you waited for the connection to go through. The phone flickered, and then Bakugo's face filled the screen. It was a bright afternoon wherever he was. His spiky blond hair glinted in the sunlight, and his red eyes seemed even brighter. His face was a sight for sore eyes, and without realizing it, a sleepy smile found its way onto your face. Whatever was going on, it was good to see him.
"You wanna tell me why I had to hear from Deku that you're sick?"
Oh. Oh, you take that back.
"Good mornin' to you too Kacchan" your voice squeaked, trying (and failing) to hide the guilt you felt. Cheeks flushing, you quickly buried your face into the pillow. Your eyes peeped out over the top, like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. You could feel his glare burning into you through the screen, and knew you were in for an earful.
"Don't fuckin' 'Kacchan' me" Bakugo snapped, his scowl deepening. His voice had that distinctive edge to it, the one that told her he was more worried than mad. It might be bright and shining where he was, but his mood was anything but sunny.
You swallowed hard, throat dry as you tried to find the right words. "It's just a mild case, Katsuki" you admitted in a small shaky voice. You nestled your fevered face further into the cool pillow. "I'm just tired, can't really think straight… and I've been sleeping a lot." You gave him a weak smile, trying your best to reassure him.
Too bad your words didn't seem to have the desired effect. If anything, his frown only grew. "I'll be over it by the time you fly back home… so I figured I wouldn't worry you" you added, trying to sound upbeat despite the fatigue that weighed you down.
Bakugo pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes squeezed shut in frustration. "Great plan" he muttered sarcastically. "Do you have any idea how fuckin' worried I was when Deku told me you had to catch your breath on the stairs?"
You let out a nervous chuckle, hand rubbing the back of your neck. "You'll be happy to know I've started taking the elevator?" you offered, attempting to lighten the mood.
Bakugo's glare softened a little, but he wasn't about to let you off that easy. "Not the point, and you damn well know it. You should have told me, sweetheart. I don't care if it's “mild” or not. I should've been the first to know. If you're sick, I wanna be there for you, even if it's just through the phone."
The screen shook a bit as Bakugo let out an exasperated sigh. He cares, deeply, that much is clear- even if neither of you have taken the step to label what's going on between them. It's in the way his eyes softened after the initial anger, in the way he called you first thing after hearing the news, even with oceans between the two of you. "Just...take care of yourself, okay? And keep me updated, no matter how small the shit is. Got it?" Bakugo's voice was rough, but the concern unmistakable.
"Heh, you care about me" you couldn't help but poke fun, laying back and stretching your arms above your head. The chilly morning mist moved the translucent curtains, but you couldn't feel warmer. As you settled back on the bed, the phone angle shifted, giving him a clearer view of your "pajamas".
"I care about you not being a dumba-" Katsuki began, his usual attitude ready on his tongue, but it fizzled out as you derailed his train of thought. His eyes fixated on the bright red stylized skull stitched across the cotton top you wore. He already knew the answer, but asked anyway. "...Is that my shirt?" he demanded in a softer voice, his cheeks quickly gaining a subtle pink.
"Ah, ya, sorry. You left it here last time you were over" You admitted a little sheepish, fingers nervously started to play with the hem. The fabric was worn and soft from use, and it's comforting in a way that's hard to describe. "I've been having really bad body aches and it's the softest shirt here" you added. "I'll take it off if you want?" The offer is genuine, but it's clear from the reluctant tilt of your head and the way your grip tightened on the fabric, that you'd rather not part with the small piece of him you have.
"No" Katsuki blurted out more quickly than he intended, his ears now matched the soft pink of his cheeks. He turned away from the camera, as if his sudden interest in the landscape in the distance could hide the heat he felt creeping up his neck. "It's fine."
"Bakugo Katsuki- are you blushing?" you teased, amusement clear as day. He could practically hear the smirk in your words. Your sleepy grin was wide on his screen, and he could feel it without looking.
"Hush" he growled, trying to regain composure as he glared into the camera at you. The red in his cheeks deepened despite his best efforts. "It's not like I haven't seen you in my stuff before. Just... keep the damn shirt on if it makes you feel better" he conceded gruffly, unable to hide the fact that, deep down, he likes seeing you wrapped up in something of his. Bakugo's eyes narrowed as he caught the bratty grin still stretched across your face, your smugness speaking volumes through the screen. His initial embarrassment at being caught blushing quickly evaporated. If the little brat wanted to play, then fine by him.
"But don’t think you’re off the hook for keeping me in the dark, darlin'" he chuckled darkly, the sound sent a shiver down your spine. Your grin faltered, replaced by a nervous gulp. You knew that tone, the one that signaled you had danced on the line and now Katsuki was about to remind you just who’s in charge.
He leaned closer to the phone, his red eyes piercing into yours. "Once I’m back, you’re gonna wear that shirt- and that shirt only" Bakugo said with a feral grin, the demand in his voice leaving no room for argument. "Then I’m gonna spank that ass of yours until it’s as red as the skull on your chest." The edge in his voice stole your breath away, and you sat up a little straighter.
Bakugo was miles away but it felt like he was here, invading your bedroom, taking over every inch of air around you. You could feel his authority fall over you like a comforting weight. Your body already ached for his touch, for the slap of his hands, the sharp bite of his teeth, and the relentless pounding of his cock. A whimper you didn't realize you were holding back slipped out, and now Katsuki was the one leaning back with a satisfied smirk. “Better be good for me and rest up, brat. I'll see you when I get home.”

The Bet (Part 4)
Warnings: smut(MDNI)
Reader’s POV
I couldn't believe my ears. There's no way I heard him correctly, but when I turned around there he was. On one knee looking me like he was in shock. He couldn't believe he'd said it either.
"Can you repeat that?"
“I said please. Now get your ass over here.”
You could not in any way shape or form stop the self satisfied grin that took over your face.
You’d won! You’d fucking won a bet against the famous Great Explosion Murder God: Dynamight!
“Y/N you’ve got 3 seconds to wipe that fucking smile off your face. You’re gonna make my dick get soft.”, he said while standing up straight.
“You know I never thought it would work. I can’t believe you caved. Our friends are geniuses!”, you said while walking over to him.
“What the hell does that mean?”, he asked you and stopped you short before you could reach him.
“Well I may have gotten some tips and tricks on how to seduce you from Mina….. and….. and Izuku….”, you whispered the names off to him.
“What… the fuck do you mean?”, there was a feral lilt to his voice that kinda scared you.
“Well Mina helped me with the look you know and Izuku was giving advice on how to go about seducing you…. He actually knows more about you than I do. It was wild how accurate his assumptions were…. Hey Kat can you say something?? You’re scaring me…” you said softly as if you were nervous any loud sounds might set him off.
“You told Mina and Izuku about our bet! And then you “seduced” me based on Deku’s advice!?! Y/N tell me you’re joking right now?!
“Ok well Katsuki you always win these things and I- I just wanted t- to…. Kat… oh fuck.”
You saw him coming toward you but there was nowhere for you to run. Now your hands are pinned above your head in one of his and his other is tilting your chin to look up at him.
“K-“, you started but then his hand was around your throat.
“You’re done talking. Understand me?”
He left 0 room for negotiation so you nodded your head and kept quiet.
You felt his lips brush against your ear and it sent a shiver down your spine before he spoke “You wanted me to break so bad and I did. Congrats….. but now,” he pressed 2 kisses on your neck before he finished, “it’s my turn to break you.”
He leaned back and you could see the gleam in his eyes.
It’s also at this point you realize maybe you should’ve worn panties cuz you were throbbing between your legs and you just might start leaking down your thighs.
He took you by the hand and walked over to his desk.
“Up.” He helped you hop up on his desk and then get sat back in his chair.
“Take that shirt off”
You quickly strip the shirt off and now you’re sitting on his desk naked and mute.
“Fucking missed this” he said as he splayed his hands on the underside of your thighs. He pulled his hands apart and in turn pulled your pussy lips apart putting all of you on display for him.
“Did you miss me?”he was looking up at you expectantly.
“Yea ‘suki. Missed you so much.” You were breathless and already breathing a little hard.
“ Can fucking tell. Pussy fucking dripping for me.” He mumbled before he leaned forward and placed a singular kiss against your clit. He then proceeded to place sloppy kisses up both of your thighs.
“Katsuki… please.”, you whimpered. He was teasing and the way you felt right now, you didn’t want to be teased
“Please what? Use you damn words.”
“You told me to stop talking now, now it’s “use your words”
“Yea and you still spoke without being spoken to…. Maybe I should leave you like this. Make you watch me while I jack off to your spread out for me. Is that what you want?”, his voice was stern and you knew he meant it.
“No. No ‘m sorry. Please, wanna watch you eat me til I come.”
“Huh… it sounds like you’re begging me now. That was fast.” , he chucked a little with a smirk planted on his beautiful face.
He moves he hand over your cunt and smacks it, “ngh, fuck”
Your head was thrown back and your eyes were squeezed shut.
“Look at me and count. We’re going to 7, first one doesn’t count.”
You straighten up to look at him and his hand is already slapping against you again.
“1”smack “ugh…2” smack smack “kat slow down, 3 & 4”
But then he was pressing a finger to your entrance and sliding it up inside you. You immediately clench around him. His face is pure concentration. Likes he’s looking for every movement, every noise.
“Mmm you can take another.” And then he pulling out the first finger and immediately slipping it into his mouth. The groan that leaves his lips has you pussy gushing.
His eyes flicked up to yours and he smiled. “Don’t be jealous. Here ya go.” He slid his finger back through your slick and then slid it into your mouth.
You made a show of licking it clean. He slipped a second one into your mouth as well before pulling them out and immediately pressing them into your cunt while they were still wet.
He set a nice little pace and you were already so tightly wound that you could feel yourself getting close. He curled his fingers and he was sitting right up against the spongy spot in front of you.
You were panting and leaking onto his desk.
“K-k ‘m close. Ngh.”
But then he’s pulling his fingers out and smacking them against you again.
“Count before I start over.”
“Kaaaatttt. Don’t be like this. You’re being mean.”
“You ain’t seen mean. Now count.”
It took you a minute to remember where you were in your count. “5” you were fully pouting now.
If this is what he calls getting even then you could bare it. Maybe. You really wanted to cum.
Smack “6”
“You’re making a mess on my desk.” And then was bending his head down and licking at you.
“Oh fuck. Yes, Kat yes.”
He was really going to town. Moaning and groaning into you.
What you couldn’t see is that his dick was out and he was stroking to you. Leaking precum all over his fingers.
You were close again but you refused to say it out loud in hopes you’d finish before he had a chance to stop.
He still knew though. You were right there and your moans were getting louder and more out of control.
He pulls his mouth away from you and all you can do is whine.
The entire lower half of his face was shimmering cuz he was covered in you. Katsuki was always a sloppy eater but he’d kicked it up a notch.
“You ready to apologize for running yer mouth?”
“Yes. Yes, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. I actually won’t even speak to our friends again. Ever. Please baby.” You were babbling. You’d say whatever you had to if he let you finish.
“Mmmm I don’t think I believe you. How you gonna prove it to me?” He was sitting back in his chair now with his hand wrapped around his dick slowly pumping it. It was purple around the head like he was ready to burst at any minute. He wasn’t just edging you, he was edging himself too. Sick.
“Let me wrap my lips around you cock ‘suki. I wanna taste you too.”
He lifted his hips and slid his pants the rest of the way down and pulled his shirt up over his head. His muscles were flexing and all you could think about was how hot your boyfriend was. So hot and all yours.
“Come here pretty girl.” You hopped down from his desk and walked between his legs. “Down on your knees” you got down and you could smell the musk coming off his him. You could clearly see the pre dripping down. He was making just as big of a mess as you.
“Do a good job and I might let you come on my dick after mkay.” He said and you could see his jaw flexing.
You nodded at him and he relaxed back into his chair while you got to work.
You started with cleanup. Licking up all the precum that had dribbled down his balls and his shaft. Then you paid good attention to the head. Suckling on it and he was groaning with his head tilted upward so you stopped.
“Eyes on me”, his eyes opened and focused on you immediately.
“Ngh… y- you givin orders n-now.”
“You’re right,” you said placing a kiss on the underside of him, “eyes on me please…” and you gave him pleading look.
“Bett-fuuuuccckk”
You took him all the way down your throat and swallowed around him. You stayed down on him until you had to come up for air.
Katsuki lifted his hand and ran it through his hair. “Shit”
You continued to lick him and moved a hand down to massage his balls underneath. “So sorry Kat” slurp, “gonna make it up to you.”
And you went to work doing exactly that. Sloppily licking and sucking at him. Kissing up and down his shaft.
His hands were gripping the handles of the chair trying to hold back from cumming down your throat.
The next thing you know his hand is in your hair and pulling you off of him. He brings your lips directly up to his and starts devouring you.
He starts pushing you backwards so he can stand up. Your arms around his shoulders and one of your hands in his hair.
He ends up backing you up against his desk before grabbing your thighs and lifting you up onto it. You immediately wrap your legs around his hips. His cock is rubbing up against your slit and he’s pressing kisses all over you.
“Put me inside you y/n”, he moaned up against your ear. You squeezed your hand in between the two of you and lined him up with your entrance and he slid smoothly up inside you one long stroke.
You were both so needy and worked up by this point that everything was uncoordinated and messy. Just doing whatever you could to get there. Kissing everywhere touching everywhere. Whimpering and moaning.
Katsuki always got so whiny when he got close to cumming. He knew he wouldn’t last much longer so he slips his hand between you and rubs at your clit with his thumb.
“Cum for me. Wanna feel y-you cum for me.”
He didn’t have to tell you twice. It feels like your entire body was launched into a different atmosphere. Your orgasm was so strong your ears were ringing. Your nails are buried in Katsuki’s back and your toes are curled.
It takes a few minutes to come back down to reality.
The first thing you hear is Katsuki chuckling. You open your eyes and he’s smiling at you.
“Wh- what’s so funny”, you ask him.
“You look blissed out. Your mouth was open and everything”, he told you.
“Wow. That’s embarrassing” you mumble with a small grin starting to form on your lips.
He gave a few more quick kisses before telling you, “no more sex bets. You always come up with the dumbest ideas.”
“What the hell do you mean?? That was you idea!”
“Yeah but you agreed to it, And that was a dumb thing to do.” He started pulling you off of his desk. “Come on, let’s go take a bath.”
“Don’t you think we should maybe wipe down or something in here. You desk is a bit of a mess.”
“Not tonight. I’m gonna have to come in here and deep clean this whole room tomorrow” and you giggled at him because you knew he was right.
You guys spend the rest of the night making up for lost time.
*you told Mina about the bet the day you guys agreed to it and she told the entirety of your friends about it.
turns out there was a bet made between your friends and deku put his bet on day 2 with bakugo folding. This is why he volunteered the advice.
Everyone had Katsuki folding first but the days varied.
Deku won $2000 from his win. Split it with you for doing the “heavy lifting”

━━ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 — little domestic things with them
⤷ feat. deku, kirishima, iida and shinso
Tumblr media
✧ cw :: gn!reader, fluff, no dialogue, they just wanna spend the rest of their lives with you <3
✧ a/n :: really enjoyed writing this :)
Tumblr media
𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐘𝐀 adores doing the laundry with you— or rather, he enjoys folding freshly cleaned clothes with you. you definitely have to teach him how to fold properly, but he's a fast learner and has it down pretty quickly. he finds comfort in the simplicity of the task and in the idle conversations the two of you engage in— taking trips down memory lane and sharing stories of times before each other. he loves the laughter floating in the air when you tell him your favourite childhood stories while his hands busy themselves with one of your favourite sweaters, and he pretends he's hearing it all for the first time when you repeat one without knowing.
there's intimacy in getting to know of the you before him, and how pieces of them still exist within the you he adores so much. you find izuku simply beautiful when the nostalgia swims in his eyes as he shares his own stories, and you're sure he has no idea. all that's on his mind is getting to live through more stories to save for this time spent with you, and getting to love you through every single one.
Tumblr media
𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 adores the way you take care of his hair. on days when he's tired or just wants you to do it— because nobody does it better for him than you— he asks so softly you can't find it in you to not want to. it's an intimate affair, the way he exposes his overgrown roots to you and allows you to touch them up, even though it's merely temporary. it's so much more than a simple dye job at times; it's him allowing you to see tangible proof of him at his weakest, in the private space of your home, and it's you showing him love in how gently you apply the needed products and wash them out when it's time to. he loves how you gaze down at him when you're done, that beautiful smile of yours playing on your lips when you make comments of how lovesick he looks gazing back (he never says a word— you know by now how lovesick he’ll always be)
regardless of how goofy or tender the atmosphere is, he thanks you the same way every time; with a gleam in the red of his eyes and a smile plastered on his face. you show him he's welcome when you give him an upside down peck on the lips, and eijirou finds himself looking forward to next time and the falling even more in love with you with each re-dye.
Tumblr media
𝐈𝐈𝐃𝐀 adores reading to you. on a slow, lazy day or just before bed when he's catching up on his reading, your presence as he reads makes it all the more enjoyable. whether your head lays on his lap, his shoulder, or his chest when you're on top of him, you're always touching in some capacity— it's grounding while he recites stories of another world. when he catches you looking up at him, so lost in the rhythm of his voice, he can't help the tender smile curling his lips and he often pauses to kiss your forehead. the small smile you usually give him in return has him wanting to spend the rest of his days like this, where time passes as slowly as he's content.
whenever he ever hears your breath deepening, growing even as you drift off to sleep, tenya closes his book and puts it down before gently tucking you into bed (if you've fallen asleep on the couch, he carries you to bed). with a final goodnight forehead kiss and a soft wish for you to have lovely dreams, tenya decides to call it a night for himself too, holding onto the bliss of doing this all over again tomorrow.
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐎 adores being in bed with you. he loves it best when the heavens pour, the grey the rain comes from sullying the sky. it mutes the day just right, turning down everything else besides your existence in the little island of blankets and pillows. it's the whispered good mornings coming from voices thick with sleep that makes him feel so very tender, as well as the light chuckles following the detailed descriptions of both your dreams. if you're lucky, you can catch the softness pooling in the purple of his eyes at the idle chatter you share, and the small smile on his face because of how beautiful you look. for some reason, you don't seem to believe him fully when he tells you this, so he hopes you can feel it in the way he looks at you.
there's warmth and there's you under the sheets, and there's no leaving early with hitoshi’s limbs lazily weighing you down as best as they can, pleading for five more minutes before you start your day. five minutes easily fades into ten, which turns into fifteen, and you can't find it in you to mind with how adorable he looks with his hair all messy.
hitoshi can only hope that loving in your little world, with every single minute he adds onto it, grows to last him more than a lifetime.

There’s def a lot I wish to be in Tears of the Kingdom, especially things like regional/diverse enemies. But the thing I really wish to see is Link express negative emotions. And not just “he’s angry at fighting enemies” but rather he’s angry and tired and upset and confused at his situation. He has followed orders from the king the moment he touched the master sword as a CHILD. We don’t even know if he truly got to be a child because his whole life has been about duty. And I’m pretty sure in this timeline he was descended from the Hylian knights so who knows how long he’s been training to just be a standard knight before the master sword.
Link SHOULD be angry that he’s stuck in this cycle of rebirth. Even when he died, the fall of Hyrule was blamed on him and he didn’t even get to stay dead. He was woken up and had to finish his duties while also being constantly reminded that his death is what lead Hyrule to look like is does. He should be angry, angry at Ganon and Demise and at the Hylian Royalty for forcing him into this situation over and over and over.
And this is exactly why I hope TOTK is similar to Majora’s Mask. Not because Majora’s Mask was scary. But because it dealt with the grief and isolation and depression Link had to face after going through an incredible traumatic journey, and then losing all of his friends as a result. Most notably losing the ONE friend who was with him the entire time. Who completely understood everything Link went through because she experienced the same thing. And she was the entire reason Majora’s Mask even happened in the first place, because Link was desperately searching for Navi because he was scared to be alone. I want TOTK to explore these hard and brutal emotions for both Link and Zelda. I want them both to be scared, angry, and distraught. I want them to cry over themselves and be selfish. I want them to do something impactful that isn’t for the sake of Hyrule. I hope there’s conflict with the Goddess Hylia. I hope they reject her outstretched hand after she has burdened two children to sacrifice themselves for the good of Hyrule.
I want there to be a good resolution to TOTK. I want both Link and Zelda to choose their own path even if that means leaving Hyrule. But I want the path to resolution to be painful and really explore Link’s true emotions. He is stoic and mute because he is burdened with the weight of the world. What good is a knight who talks when he is judged based on his actions and ability to use a sword.
With Zelda’s warning that she thinks that even Link can’t succeed, I hope we do see helplessness in Link. Again to Majora’s Mask we did get to see Link helpless. He was transformed into a small Deku Scrub with no weapons, no horse, and was an outlier in a town filled with humans. But he learned to work through that helplessness. He embraced the spirit who had to give his life for Link to look the way he does and figure out new ways to fight and communicate. He later became grateful for the Zora and Goron who let him use their spirits to aide his journey. He was able to confront Majora’s because he was never truly alone. Everyone he’s ever met has given him strength even if they aren’t with him presently.
And that’s what I hope to see in Link in TOTK. A helplessness due to his isolated burden, faced against something he could never win against alone. And thankfully we did get that to an extent in BOTW with the champions and even Zelda. But even then, fighting the divine beasts was optional. Link in a sense could have faced Ganon alone. Hell people even fight Ganon with no clothes and only carrying sticks.
No, I want Link, even in the most powerful armor with the most powerful weapon, to be helpless. And I want him to be angry about it. And upset. And hurt. Because he has earned the right to express every painful emotion for his circumstance and he deserves to be able to express his frustration. It is okay if he isn’t the hero.
