7: Aside from Midoriya, which character in the series do you think has had the most character development?
Ok so are we talking anime or manga? I think in the anime, youāre looking at Iida or Shouto. But in the manga itās definitely Bakugou or Shigaraki. And I think the anime is leaning towards Bakugou too, I mean heās for sure one of the seriesā main characters.Ā
Orange: Fluff or Angst?
Ahahahahahahaha (insert manic cackling here) yeah, like both? Hurt/comfort is my drug. I loveĀ that good good angst, but thereās gotta be a resolution or else Iām wrecked. With that in mind – essentially needing happy endings, Iām gonna say start angsty end fluffy.
Pop: Do you think the āDabi and Shouto are brothersā theory is true?
Damn you know what I really donāt know. This has been bugging me for a while. It seems pretty wild as a theory, but I also think it makes a lot of sense. The main thing that sells me on the idea? The panel where Dabi recognises Shouto in the manga. Like, I just really donāt think Horikoshi as a storyteller would do a centre page, huge big specific dialogue between them if there wasnāt somethingĀ going on, that would be weird. Still, maybe itās just that Dabi knows what a trash fire Enji is? Honestly, I donāt know – agnostic on this issue!
Oh man this is so tricky. Proooooobably Dekusquad? Because I really adore Midoriya and Uraraka especially. And Shouto, ofc. But as a squad, I actually prefer the dynamic/sense of humour in the Bakusquad. Mina, Sero and Kaminari are brilliant and underrated, and I do also absolutely love Kirishima. Ah I canāt pick a side!
13: Dadmight or Dadzawa?
Dadzawa. Donāt get me wrong – All Might is an angel and if he were real I would die for him. But heās also a smiiiiiidgen clueless, and Iām not sure how much of a good idea it is to leave him responsible for large groups of children. Aizawa is Bitter and Tired ā¢ but he so obviously deeply cares about the kids, and has the emotional intelligence and ability to be a pretty great guardian for them – I refer you to his comments on Bakugou in the press conference. So yeah, Dadzawa I think.
Cherry: Should Endeavor die like right now
YOOOOOOOOOO. Hahahaha so like, yes? But also I personally really want Shouto to get the closure that a Long Long Long prison sentence for Enji would offer. Just – knowing that society is on his side, knowing heās safe, getting justice – for himself and his family. I think thatās more important than a quick death for Enji, which I worry would eat at Shouto with unanswered questions about what he could possibly have done differently. A quick death would be an easy escape for Enji. Frankly, he doesnāt deserve it.Ā
Shouto. Todoroki Shouto. No question. Man like I love all the characters but Iāve 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 Iāve 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 – theyāre thoughts Iāve had. I think heās 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 thatās 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 Iām gonna tell this story, lets explore every possible angle. Itās really interesting.
10: Do you have any OCās? Describe them! If you donāt, create one on the spot.
Oh I know – I wrote a TodoDeku story called A Rose By Any Other Name and had an OC Villain called Timeskip. Her quirk was that she can essentially stick people in a time out zone. Trick is that whilst itās always two hours inside the zone, outside it could be anything from 5 mins to 5 hours. Itās a difficult quirk and she ended up disillusioned with hero society – which is a shame since she could use it as an emergency medical bay on a battlefield. Instead she carries actual weapons, and mostly traps people so they bleed out before help can reach them. Added twist is that inside the zone, she can tap into peopleās psychology and make them see things theyāve tried to forget – again, on the good side, she could provide reassurance. Instead she essentially psychologically attacks people whilst theyāre trapped.Ā
Honestly, itās not perfect, but she was only in the story for a couple seconds, so thatās my defence ^^;
Red: What do you like the most about your favorite ship?
Oh boy ok, ahhhh. Haha where do I start. So Tododeku is my favourite ship. I love it because I feel like Shouto and Izuku counter each other very well. Izuku is idealistic, Shouto is jaded. Izuku loves heroes without question, Shouto loves heroes despite his questions. Izuku fights on a grand scale for personal, emotional victories. Shouto brings his personal, emotional challenges onto a grand scale. I feel like theyāve very much got a sun/moon thing going on. I love the fact that Izuku loves and admires and respects Shouto as himself – not despite or because of his abuse. Izuku doesnāt see Shouto as a victim, but he does care and sympathise. As for Shouto to Izuku – I think growing up in a world surrounded by the crushing weight of social pressure, Shouto cares about Izuku as a person, not as the hero, Deku. I think he loves and admires the hero Deku, but Izuku is what heās there for. I think Shouto can help to alleviate the pressure on Izuku not least because he knows how it feels.Ā
Also, Iām always a sucker for the blabbermouth and that One Introvert whoāll listen to them. I think Izuku makes Shouto comfortable and I think the reverse is true – Shouto actually listens to what Izuku has to say and thinks carefully about it, respecting his thoughts and emotions. Just. Yeah, damn, everything.
Green: Any preferred rarepairs?
What counts as a rarepair?? Iām not sure which are rare so Iām just gonna list a couple a like that I think could be: EraserMic, ShinDeku, InaTodo, Miritama (is this still rare??), Kaminari x Mina x Sero (though I hc Sero as aro), MinaMomo
3: How do you think Midoriyaās conflict with Bakugou will end?
Good question! Ultimately, I think theyāll reconcile. I think thisāll be difficult for both of them but especially Bakugou, since i imagine a big part of it is going to be him having to learn how to be humble and accept his own shortcomings. I think once they get there though, theyāll push each other to become greater and greater. I doubt Bakugouās personality is going to change significantly, and I donāt think it should! But I think weāll see a move from outright hostility to begrudging/surly friendship and respect. I think weāre already going in that direction, honestly, and itās a good thing.
