Unpopular opinion:

Quirkless Bakugou doesn't sit well with me.

For some reasons, everyone seems so... on fire and hooked and in love with the idea that Bakugou will be quirkless in the next few chapters for reasons I can't understand yet and as much as I want to ask, I also don't because that would entail a lot of asking and conversations I don't think my brain can follow.

Is it because of the angst? Is it because Bakugou saving Midoriya or Aizawa or any other vital hero is peak growth? Is it because it's poetic justice that after being one of the strongest and the best for so long, he'd finally know the hell he'd put Midoriya through? To know what it feels like to be treated like glass, to be "fragile", and less than dirt, to be a pebble in the road, a "nuisance"? To be reduced to a quirk when you've had the world in your hands? Because that's exactly why I don't like it.

Bakugou may be privy to the hell Midoriya knew. Maybe he won't be. Because we all know that if there's anyone who can rise to the top, quirk or no, it's Bakugou. Bakugou who's skilled and talented and lives on spite and anger and ego. Bakugou who can look someone in the eye and call them an extra even if he respects them. If there's anyone who can be a quirkless hero and be number one, it's Bakugou. And Izuku, Izuku who always looked up and loved and supported him will be there every step of the way. And it feels as if he's taking it away from Izuku. It feels as if the only thing that Izuku kept to himself (the abuse, the sadness, the pain) would be things that Bakugou will be unfamiliar with and I find that unfair.

Personally, I don't want an apology that stems from knowing and being in the same place as the person you hurt. It's angst. It's flavorful. But maybe I'm just not in the right headspace but if the reason why Bakugou apologized to Izuku because he finally knows what it feels like, it will hurt. But I want Bakugou to apologize, not because he knows what it feels like, but because he understands it was wrong.

I need Bakugou to understand that what he did was wrong. That's it.

I don't want him to know what it feels like. I want him to understand.

I'm currently re-watching MP100 because there's this fic that I want to read and I feel so out of loop that I just have to watch it again.

I hold Mob close to my heart ever since I first watched it and now that I'm re-watching it again, I just realized something.

From the get go, Mob already knows that Reigen is just lying to him. We'll receive confirmation for this in S2, I think, but the reason why I mention this now and why I find this so funny is because after Mob exorcises the first spirit, his percentage goes up to 22% which leads me to believe that he's getting annoyed at Reigen's antics and I just wifhwifhwijdlqfhad

I mean, we all know this. But just. Watching it again makes me think how can I miss it the first time around????

REIGEN HOW CAN YOU BE SO DENSE THIS 13 YEAR OLD IS LOOKING AT YOU AND HE'S JUST DONE.

YO THIS FIT!!

There's no warning, no proper build up (or you know, I just don't notice it), and, well, I sometimes end up disappointed.

Like when I read romance, that's what I gear myself up for. Romance. I know what to expect, I know what to look for, I know to root for people. When it's slowburn, I know when I want to throttle an author. But when I enter a fic and see there's no tags for romance, then I enter knowing that there's no love story waiting for me. Which is why I hate it when stories blindside me.

Oh. But that's really up to the author, I know. They're not superbly obligated to tell readers about things like that, especially when it's not a trigger warning. So I'm not really taking it against them.

It's just, I hate being surprised like that. And often, it's not even an "I KNEW IT"moment. It's more of "...what?"
