Shoutout to Nejire for being one of the only characters to acknowledge Izuku's feats during the Overhaul Arc.
The manga should have let them be friends. For as nerdy and neurodivergent coded as Izuku is portrayed in BNHA, the story sure goes out of its way to minimize his interaction with any weird girls
todoroki’s costume should have retractable ice skates
izuku places his entire sense of identity and self-worth on being a hero, and having the quirk that allows him to be one. those two things, heroism and having this quirk, are inextricably linked to him - when he was quirkless, he couldn’t be a hero, and he got the quirk so he could be.
izuku also clearly identifies heroism as saving people. when he fails to save people - ie fails at being a hero - he feels worthless. if he doesn’t save, he’s not a hero, and thus is nothing.
now apply this reasoning to when he offers mirio his quirk after the overhaul arc. again, without a quirk, he can’t be a hero. why is he wanting to give away the very thing that he thinks makes him valuable to other people?
because he failed to save someone, so he’s already not a hero. he thinks he doesn’t deserve his quirk, the thing that gives him that worth and identity, because he doesn’t deserve to have any worth or identity. he’s already squandered it. he deserves to be nothing again.
I have no excuse for this other than it was 3am and I had a fever of 101 and hadn’t drawn in days.
it just hit midnight here Happy Birthday Shigaraki Tomura!!!
this is the worst thing ive ever done
Cannot FUCKING stand when my loose leaf tea says to add tea in tablespoons instead of teaspoons. I'm sorry, bitch. Am I making tea or am I making a table. Let me double fucking check.
