The weird thing is I’m such a multishipper. I always had a million mha ships but after finishing mha, Bakudeku ended up being an ‘only them with each other’. Like I used to love TodoDeku, Tdbkdk, Kiribaku, I thought IzuOcha and IzuIidaOcha was cute,,, and like I don’t hate them, I obviously understand the appeal if I used to ship them.
I suppose for Bakudeku it ended up being… they genuinely feel like each other’s other half. After finishing MHA cannot see either being complete without the other. Their growth, experiences, parallels, everything that grew between them over the course of MHA and hell the very end with Bakugo being the biggest yearner ever. I feel like both drag out a side of them no one has or can ever manage to, you know? It feels like they have so much depth and things to explore between them and their past that no one else can match. They objectively feel not only perfect for each other, but so, incredibly interesting to explore because you can take so many directions!
It feels almost like a betrayal of myself as a multishipper, haha. I mean, I wrote MiriDeku fics!! (though I still like them on account of I wrote them (old as they are), Mirio is one of my all time favorites, and I think everyone would like Deku). And the double of like,,, I do tend to like characters with one or the other best. Of every Kirishima pair I like him with Katsuki most. Of every Todoroki pair I like him with Izuku most. So now they’re just solo, at least in my own drawings fjfjfjf.
I suppose it’s okay to have an “OTP” every once in a while ^^; but I do mourn when I was happy seeing basically any mha pairing, lol.
