There is magic in the mundane

it's a good thing to do

I want to do the thing

people will be mad if I don't do the thing

okay, so like i said previously, i would want this movie to be less action-heavy and more about their day-to-day lives as pro heroes. more so focusing on the actions they're taking to improve society and whatnot, but also focusing on their minor adult life drama (aka their love lives).

mainly because i want to explore the whole izuocha vs. bkdk thing, which ultimately ends up with bkdk (although somewhat ambiguously because i'm trying to be #Realistic 💀).

anyways, the beginning of the movie is class a taking down a huge mecha. the villains in this movie are inspired by old school sentai heroes. they aren't really bad, but they are bitter about not being able to achieve their dreams of being heroes, so they facilitated a villain scenario just so they could save the day. unfortunately, they got the fucking avengers of their time milling about, so their plans are ultimately thwarted.

the villains aren't really the focus, though.

at some point during the fight, katsuki gets hit in the chest and temporarily downed. he's not unconscious, i don't think, but he's downed. this causes izuku to not just falter, but freeze up entirely. izuku gets literal war flashbacks and pretty much starts having a panic attack mid-fight. his peers try to get his head in the game, but izuku is obviously unable to fully recover, so he gets tossed around a bunch.

at one point, he gets seriously attacked and ochako goes to check up on him. she tries her hand at getting his headspace right while checking for any injuries, and izuku is nearly brought out of his panic. what fully brings him back, though, is when katsuki recovers and yells at izuku to get his shit together so they can end this "nothingburger villain". katsuki goes over to izuku to pull him up, less than gracefully. they do that thing they always do where they stare at each other for way too long, pretty much communicating telepathically, before they both lock back in and do what they gotta do.

of course, before proceeding to the fight, izuku thanks ochako for her help, but ochako is conflicted because she didn't really manage to do anything. she brushes it off though, and also locks back in to the fight.

they all defeat the mecha and subdue the wannabe heroes, and it's another day saved.

after the fight, while other classmates are handling the cleanup and police reports, katsuki goes to izuku and asks what the fuck that was. izuku tries to dodge the question as usual, but katsuki refuses to let it go. izuku gets irritated, and as a show of maturation on katsuki's end, he ends their conversation there. but he's also frustrated as fuck, so he storms off.

again, kirikami do a "mama & papa" bit about their "son" katsuki going through a "stormy period" (lowkey insinuating that izuku rejecting his agency offer has been affecting him more than he'd let on). anyways, they go talk to him (and again, sero maybe also tags along).

on the other hand, ochako, shoto, and maybe tsu go over to talk to izuku (iida is handling police report stuff with yaomomo). they don't really get through to him because they're way easier to shake off than katsuki is, even though they do still know that he's not being 100% honest with them. shoto and tsu leave izuku be, but ochako lags behind, hoping izuku would be more open with her.

she mentions how they said they'd talk to each other more, and izuku comments about how he meant with more casual stuff, but ochako insists that she wants to know the hard things too. they have a moment where they stare at each other, ochako begging to be let in and izuku considering it, but before anything can progress between them, they're being interrupted by mina loudly joking about the two of them being an item.

they separate and start wrapping up what they need to wrap up before going their separate ways. ochako watches izuku leave, feeling frustrated because she could tell izuku wasn't going to let her in even if mina hadn't ruined the mood.

naturally, we don't get izuku's thoughts about everything that transpired.

some time goes by and everyone's lives proceed as normal. as expected, that last big villain was a blip of excitement in their overall time of peace. of course there's still minor criminals out and about, but they're really nothing to gawk at.

before we get into the bkdk of it all, there's some exploration of izuocha's dynamics. like they mentioned, they're talking more and getting back to how they used to be. every now and again, ochako tries to press izuku about what happened with the mecha villain, but he conveniently has other obligations to attend to that ends the conversation.

and even though izuku is avoiding this one particular thing (his intense feelings about katsuki), he's generally pretty open and healthy-minded. i like to headcanon that he actually started going to therapy, which is where he picked up his photography hobby from. opposite of ochako who maintains that she's fine and her hallucinations of toga are a non-issues/normal part of the grieving process.

at some point, i do believe ochako realizes that she can't be of help to izuku as she is. and the shift starts with a conversation between ochako and katsuki. she specifically calls him out for a drink, nothing alcoholic, but a simple lunch break at a café or something in between patrols.

it's kind of awkward because they don't usually have moments like this where it was just them two. also it's clear ochako wants to talk about something, but she's weirdly struggling to bring it up, even though she's never been the one to shy away from speaking her mind (flashbacks to these moments (yes to officially canonize them)).

in the end, ochako just flat out asks katsuki what he thinks izuku's issue was during the mecha fight, and katsuki spares no time answering like it's the most obvious thing in the world: "it's me".

he goes on to explain how he's seen izuku falter before because of him, even though it was only in training. izuku vaguely talked about the war with him back in high school, but he clammed up and escape the conversation anytime katsuki dared to mention what happened to him.

the more katsuki talked about izuku's reactions to him, the more irritated he got, and he inadvertently started to let it slip that he wished izuku would just talk to him so katsuki could work through it with him, considering it's katsuki he's worried about.

and this is where ochako realizes that she kinda started running in a race where a winner had already long since been decided.

and in a way, it was relieving. because a lot of her feelings towards izuku was the worry that he had no one to care about him. like, of course he had people that cared about him, but she was worried that he wouldn't have a someone standing by his side specifically, dedicated to being there to save him when he needed saving, because he always seemed to need it. but now she could see that he had someone all along.

and now, she could put that aside and focus on what she really needed to focus on the entire time—herself.

ochako ends their little lunch by making a comment about katsuki and izuku's close relationship and how there's a lot of love between them, to which katsuki brushes off and grumbles about the usage of the word love, but just like last time, he never denies it.

as she's going back to work, ochako thinks about izuku's mentions of therapy and she sighs heavily, knowing that's her next step, but to give herself some motivation, she calls up tsu. almost immediately, tsuyu can sense that something has changed with ochako, and that she seems a bit brighter. ochako laughs and comments about how tsu knows her too well, and this scene ends with her talking happily and feeling a lot more confident in her path going forward.

and then, finally, the bkdk endgame.

it starts with katsuki and izuku out on patrol. things are normal, if not a little awkward between them. they haven't really talked since the villain attack from before, but neither of them really address it. that is, until katsuki brings up the fact that ochako invited him out to lunch. maybe he takes a petty jab (or what he sees as a petty jab) at izuku and calls ochako his girlfriend, the one and only time he'll ever acknowledge there was anything between them (which is hilarious given the fact that he's about to secure his man).

katsuki expects izuku to sputter and blush and get all defensive about it, but he calmly states with his (stupid) polite smile that there's nothing between him and ochako. he thought maybe he'd like for there to be once upon a time, but he values their friendship more than anything else. plus, ochako shut him down not too long ago anyways, which katsuki was surprised by.

anyways, izuku asks katsuki what ochako could've possibly called him out for, and katsuki says it straight that she asked about him and, once again, about his reaction during the mecha fight. izuku sighs heavily at this, but katsuki really isn't backing off this time.

again, the two are still on patrol. so they're fully talking, getting more and more heated, until it turns into full-on arguing while in public.

katsuki ends up cracking izuku's defenses and izuku finally admits that he was terrified when katsuki was downed, because it made him think back to the war and how katsuki died. izuku rants about how he felt helpless, how he was so used to OFA surging through him and taking control whenever katsuki got hurt or insulted in any way, and how that used to be so comforting to him as it was scary, because it meant that should anything happen, he could fight and save katsuki if needed. but now he was quirkless and when katsuki got hurt, all he could do was stand there, and the only thing that surged through him was panic and grief.

during this rant, he definitely brings up all the moments where he wanted to protect/save katsuki: the sludge villain incident, the training camp incident and the subsequent rescue mission (specifically mentioning how he still hates that it couldn't have been him to reach out to katsuki), monoma insulting katsuki which lead to blackwhip manifesting, every single moment during the war arc, etc.

katsuki dutifully listened to everything izuku had to say, even when izuku almost let it slip that he loved katsuki too much, but instead changing it to how he "cared about" katsuki too much.

then katsuki made his own rebuttal: "how do you think i've felt all these years, then?" which definitely caught izuku off guard. how katsuki felt about him never really crossed him mind besides the time they fought at ground beta and the time katsuki apologized. he didn't even dare to presume katsuki's feelings.

but now, he didn't have to presume, because katsuki was about to lay his own feelings bare for izuku once again.

katsuki explained to izuku exactly what he talked about which all might that one time (i literally cannot find a direct clip to save my life but it's this conversation), reiterated parts of his apology, and admitted to some other feelings he never quite put all out there. like how watching izuku over the years was terrifying to him, too, even if he didn't register it back then. watching izuku break himself over and over again just to save others, constantly facing the possibility of losing his arms forever, if not his life...

katsuki expressed to izuku that he isn't alone in the stupid over-worrying game they get caught up in. and katsuki is on the verge of admitting explicitly that he cares "too much" about izuku as well, but—like many moments in this story—before they can get any deeper, they get interrupted by a huge blast.

as it turns out, one of the sidekicks of the wannabe heroes from before constructed another, supposedly upgraded mecha in revenge for the downfall of their idols.

katsuki and izuku spring into action immediately, but they don't stop their conversation. as they fight, they continue opening their hearts to one another, because there's truly no better way for the floodgates to be opened for them than to get the adrenaline pumping through their veins.

it's almost scary how well they're working together, even while being slightly distracted, which leads to the moment:

much like loid's proposal to yor (from spyxfamily), katsuki and izuku end the fight with a quickness and katsuki, once again, proposes for izuku to join his agency. he makes sure to note that he knows izuku has his teaching job to focus on, but that doesn't have to be an issue, and it won't be an issue, he just wants izuku to be by his side, officially.

he also holds out his hand as he says this, because of course.

izuku is flustered, but at this point, there is no doubt in his mind that this is what he wants more than anything else, especially after he and katsuki shared their true thoughts and feelings with one another, so he takes katsuki's hand and accepts his offer.

katsuki is kind of shocked, honestly, but he and izuku smile at each other and he pulls izuku into a hug.

embarrassingly enough, their former classmates have all arrived at the scene and begin cheering them on, with no shortages of "finally" or "about damn time" coming from them.

and then the end credits has a bunch of snapshots of potentially another time jump of class a and where they are at in their lives while in their 30s. there's some implications of some other ships (my personal faves: tsuchako, kirimina, kamijiroumomo, ojitooru).

and then at the end, is bkdk standing together. maybe holding hands, but that might be too on the nose. maybe a fistbump will suffice. but i also wanna incorporate the one fanart that has them with different colored accents on their hero costume gloves to simulate wedding bands. i still think that's the cutest thing ever. i wish i could find it jfkldskl

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

thank you for being here, peeper.

I’m so sorry you have that weighing on you. that is a very daunting and scary possibility. you are absolutely not alone. there are thousands of people newly diagnosed every day.

are you waiting for HIV testing to be done or are you unable to access it right now? I ask because the sooner you know your status, the sooner you can get treatment for it, and treatment protects you from deadly co-infections. pneumonia and meningitis are nothing to sneeze at. I want you to stick around for a long time

I have had the privilege of knowing several hiv+ trans men, some young and some in their 40s and 50s, and they are living full lives with partners, kids, and hobbies and who travel and perform and work and study. I admire them so much for their strength

I just want to reassure you that, no matter the results, your life isn’t over. there may be an intense period of grief and adjustment, new stigmas, and barriers to care, and habits to commit to, but your life is just as valuable and you are just as important as you’ve always been

it’s run by a fascist

it’s been trending further right for years

it needs serious reform

things you can’t say about the USA:

it’s unique in any of the above mentioned issues

it’s the most right wing or conservative place on earth

Okay I know this is a serious post but.

Marzi, do you have something to tell us?

Listen. Any jeweler apprenticeships I may have completed in the 18th century are nobody's business and also not real because I'm definitely not a vampire
