Ahhh yay!! Thank you so much for sending this! ❤ 😀
9: Favorite overall character?
Shouto. Todoroki Shouto. No question. Man like I love all the characters but I’ve never loved or related to a character as much as I do to Shouto. Without getting into the details, I was abused by my parents, and I’ve literally never seen an abused character in media treated with the nuance and respect that Shouto gets. His experiences and thoughts and feelings feel authentic to me – they’re thoughts I’ve had. I think he’s so well written and he means the world to me.

Pineapple: What do you like the most about BNHA, as a whole?
Its optimism. Honestly, despite recent developments in the manga, I think that’s still true. BNHA is a show that revolves around the good in people – the capacity of people to do good, and I love that. It gives me hope. I also very much enjoy the fact that almost nothing is black and white in the show – the heroes can be villainous (see Enji), the villains can be heroic, albeit in a twisted way (Stain, Overhaul, Twice). I like the fact that Horikoshi was like fuck it, if I’m gonna tell this story, lets explore every possible angle. It’s really interesting.
