not. hopeless.

THIS ARGUMENT IS NOT VALID!

KIRISHIMA IS NOT KATSUKI’S ONLY FRIEND.

Also he calls Kirishima mean nickanmes to do with his hair? He called Eijirou ‘Kirishima’ once because he was concerned about him. You silly people. 

Stop using that excuse to invalidate Bakugou ships. And you can not use that if you are not anti-endeavour, anti-mitsuki or anti-mineta. 

If he would be abusive to one person, he will be abusive to e v e r y o n e no exceptions. Abusers are abusers and you cant change that. There is no exceptions, ok? Lets talk about why it is invalid with certain ships.

Bakugou x Denki. (KAMIBAKU)

They are friends, they have multiple interactions where they aren’t fighting. Denki is not scared of Bakugou at all, he just doesn’t like the yelling. He stands up to Bakugou plenty of times. He has called Bakugou ‘Kacchan without death. Or even Bakugou yelling at him. He has willing sat with Kaminari on multiple occasions when Kirishima was available. 

In season four, somehow, Kaminari was the only one who knew Bakugou used to take drum lessons. ANd yOU ARe telLing Me they aren’t FrIENds.

Bakugou x Todoroki (TODOBAKU)

Todoroki is not afraid of Bakugou. Bakugou is only mean to him because of two things

1) he sees Todoroki as an equal competitor. 

2) The Sports Festival.

Todoroki is not afraid of Bakugou, their dynamic is amazing. And Bakugou is able to joke about Shouto. Does he make jokes around Kirishima? nO… NO HE DOES NOT.

~~

See? Those are two perfectly valid ships, that people try to invalidate using that excuse. Kiribaku is valid but so is other ships. 

I like to think that the class 1-A band keeps up regular jam sessions after the cultural festival (at Bakugou’s request). 

Bonus:

“But I’m gonna judge you if you ship m/f pairings even if you hc some or most of the characters as bi, pan, etc.”

僕のヒーローアカデミア

Oh boy he runnin’!

Please consider:

Every time I see someone who reads lots of fic on AO3 but doesn’t have an account, I have to wonder if they realize how many features AO3 has just for readers. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few (and I’ve saved the best for last!):

Bookmarks - You probably know these exist because you’ve seen them on fic you read. But did you know that you can:

Make private bookmarks that only you can see - they don’t show up when someone clicks that “bookmarks” link. Not even the author can see them. 


Organize your bookmarks with tags.

Filter them like you would a search.

Add your own comments/descriptions, either for your own benefit or the benefit of people looking for something to read. (Just remember that unless your bookmark is private everyone including the author can see tags & comments.)

History - AO3 can track every fic you’ve ever viewed. My history is 373 pages long. However, you can delete any fic from your history with the click of a button, clear your entire history at once, or turn this off.

“Marked for Later” - Some people use bookmarks to save fics they haven’t read yet, but there’s also a separate system for that. When you’re logged in there’s a “Mark for Later” button on each fic. Then you can filter your History down to just those Marked for Later. Once you’ve read a marked fic you can then hit the “Mark as Read”  button and it will drop off this

The downside to both the History and Marked for Later is that this system currently can’t be sorted or filtered beyond that, but it can be useful nonetheless if you want to save your Bookmarks for rereading your faves.

Locked fics - Some people lock their fics to registered users for many reasons. They don’t want their fics showing up in search engines, they don’t want bots stealing them, they’re having a troll problem, etc. Without an AO3 account you won’t even see that these exist.

Comment notifications - You have an inbox on AO3, and anytime anyone replies to one of your comments you will get a notification. No more having to go back and check fics to see if authors replied to you! You can also opt to get an email every time.

Customize how you see the site - You can use site skins, hide tags or warnings on fics, skip the extra step to view adult content (if you’re 18+), even customize how your browser titles the window.

Last but very much not least:

Subscribe to fics, series, or authors - I honestly don’t understand how anyone keeps up with WIPs without this.


Get an email every time a new chapter is posted, or every time one of your favorite writers posts a new fic or chapter!

Don’t want to read a WIP as it’s being posted? Subscribe and know as soon as the last chapter goes up.


Worth getting an account just for this alone tbh. 


How are you living without it???


(Hitting subscribe is also one more way to show an author you care, although authors can’t see subscriber #s on series.)

There are probably more, but those are the main ones. Yes, you have to wait a few days to get an account, but it’s worth it. If you’re worried because you don’t want people seeing you kudos certain fics (that one tentacle fic you’ll never admit to having read?) - the way login is setup it’s actually super easy to log out, leave anonymous kudos, and log back in without leaving the fic. AO3 is designed by users; they’ve got your back.

And hey, if you ever decide to take the plunge and post something, that’s one step out of your way!
