i can’t stress how excited i am to just GUSH about bakugou i love him so much i love him so much i love him so much

he’s just such a fascinating character to me!!! he’s probably one of the best foil characters i’ve ever seen, the way he and deku’s characters play off each other is absolutely AMAZING and so fun to think about and he’s just. he’s such a good boy i love him. and i understand how people don’t love him but i LOVE him and i’m gonna list all the things i love about him because i love him

the positives:

he’s smart! he’s AMBITIOUS! he’s literally so goal driven and doesn’t hesitate for a MOMENT! he’s so brave and cunning and STRONG! and he’s beautiful oh my gosh. his soft spiky hair. his EYES. i love his design because it’s a very standard shounen design but there’s this sharpness about it that i adore more than any other in that particular design. and his costume is GORGEOUS. i love his grumpy sullen mood as of late, i love how much respect he has for authority, i love that he is so so so good! he’s so passionate about defeating evil and it can’t even be swayed for a SECOND! and god he’s so incredibly skilled, he’s so talented, and it’s all because he works hard at it. that’s so admirable! 

the negatives:

he’s a piece of shit and i love that about him. he’s cocky and arrogant and rude and he has a bad mouth and his temper is awful and i LOVE that. he’s violent with absolutely no regard for anyone else, he hurts people’s feelings without a care, he’s an asshole. and i love it. it’s just something i really like to see?

everything else:

imma be honest i fell for bakugou the second i saw him. because he was an asshole. because his quirk was so interesting to me, and the way that his personality exhibits himself, and the way i can see how society shaped him as a person, instantly appealed to me. i love that he’s a product of superhero society. i love that he grew up with this hugely narcissistic personality. i love what HAPPENED to him. i know a lot of people, bakugou fans or not, just love talking about how bakugou is getting beaten down and whipped into shape, and how so much of that is a consequence of his personality, but some of it isn’t! he didn’t get kidnapped by the sludge villain because he was an asshole, he got kidnapped because he was there. getting to meet him in this way where he’s shown as nothing but a rude delinquent-type pretty much at his peak  and then immediately seeing him near-death, at his weakest point… i HAD to see more of him.

and something i love about bakugou is how obvious anyone else with his personality could/should/WOULD be a villain? that image was something that IMMEDIATELY popped up in my head seeing him. but the fact that he has this iron-clad sense of justice ASTOUNDS me. again, it can’t be SWAYED. and i’ve always loved characters who have some sort of need or destiny in being evil but choosing to be good. i love that bakugou doesn’t have anything necessarily in his fate that dictates him to be evil, it’s just, again, a product of superhero society, and the fact that people can’t see how he handles the world and squeeze that into their narrow image of what a hero should be. i love that bakugou gets that little sadistic flair about his hero work lmfao it’s refreshing and it’s relatable and i love him

also another thing i love about bakugou is that he’s such a deeply emotional person. he’s so so so fucking sensitive, and in a way that, again, i don’t see a lot! sensitive characters tend to be softer (like deku), they tend to be the ones that cry at a moment’s notice. but bakugou gets angry, and that anger is spurned by HURT. when he gets defensive, he fights it with every fucking thing he has. bakugou thinking that deku was looking down at him is absolutely ridiculous, but also makes SO much sense to me. the fact that he’s too proud to ever just talk this out and instead holding onto this huge grudge that festers and festers because anger is what bakugou knows and it’s an emotion that likely feels safe for him. i really love that. i like seeing all the ways that emotion can cloud the thoughts and destroy logic and common sense, i like watching him work through his emotions…

and when bakugou cries… ;~; <3 boy. he’s just a kid!!!! he’s a shitty shitty asshole little kid. who keeps being put through awful HORRIBLE situations and he’s growing SO much.

it squicks me out in the same way the loss meme does… like… miscarriages aren’t really funny, and pro lifers aren’t really funny either :’/

The difference here is 1) the zootopia comic wasn’t supposed to be funny. and 2) at least it’s a fan creation. I think Loss is terrible all around given that it was a sudden, single ‘real’ moment in a comic with a killer robot room mate, another room mate that is and isn’t always there doing super secret stuff, full of wishfullfilment and stupid, insane and impossible happenings... and then a ‘wham’ moment. Unearned, unnecessary, unreal (despite the ‘real’ness of the actual moment). At least the Zootopia comic is commited to what it is start to finish and is a fan work (so it doesn’t actually effect any canon)

That said, -at least- the loss moment was a moment that passed by. It’s teased relentlessly because of how little respect the creator has for more then just that moment. But the Zootopia comic? Like I said, it’s committed from start to finish with its premise. And I don’t care which side you are on with the subject matter; a woman forgoing her autonomy for her man isn’t a good story to tell. It’s one we have had shoved down our throats for years. 

The fact is, and is even brought up by the comic itself: there are real concerns with the child’s health and all that. But shitty little “Nick” is all ‘what about my feelings’ without even considering her. Like... no.

Just no.

I can ‘forgive’ loss... only in that, it’s a small (though very strong) ‘sin’ on CAD’s history. But this? Fuck it. No. It’s garbage on another level.

And this will be the last I want to speak on it. Like I said, I understand the memeing. Just... I don’t really want to see it or think about it again. Given the very adult level of the conversation, and the questions that really need answering before you even broach the topic of abortion, the comic is wrong on all sorts of levels.

i feel this so hard. whenever they made threats against me it was just like ‘okay so then do it’ and welp
