It mattered to Izuku, and he didn't like it, and he called Katsuki out several times for it.

Izuku chose to forgive Katsuki for it. For all of it. Because this is a story about reaching out and offering people a hand, even when they may not deserve it.

The Vestiges said it themselves, citing Kacchan specifically as an example: Izuku is the person who will always choose the HEART that lies inside of someone and reach out.

He chose Kacchan's heart a long ass time ago. He never held a grudge on him a day in his life, only knew that Katsuki COULD be better, and he became excited as Katsuki slowly grew into that person, into his friend. ("I never thought that I could be able to have a normal-ish conversation with Kacchan....I'm too blessed!")

You can disagree with that choice, and bullying in real life is of course a different animal all together than in fiction. but it is intrinsically part of who Izuku is as a character, and how he has literally always been written. He tries to save Shigaraki, the BBEG hellbent on destroying the world, for god's sake.

It's also intrinsically part of Katsuki to have tried to make up for his past shit, and he NEVER expects Izuku to forgive or treat him any different! He literally says, "it doesn't change a thing" during his apology, but he does the fucking work anyway, including devoting himself to helping Izuku bear the burden of OFA, and risking his damn life again and again to help Izuku. And on top of all that, he leads the project and throws the most money out of his whole class into the OFA suit that is meant to give Izuku his dream back, It could even be that it was at least in part, his idea in the first place! (Obvs that speculation BUT I'm betting it was him and AllMight's idea)

And yes, he HAS done the work, not just through his actions, but through heavy introspection; if you're paying attention to him in the narrative and not just viewing him as a one note character who is angry all the time for no reason, you can see when he gets quiet and thinks.

To be real fucking honest, I wasn't even expecting him to state his apology so raw, so explicitly like that in the first place. It's a Shonen action, after all. But Horikoshi wrote it as one of the most emotional beats of the story, tied up in the deepest most intense relationships of the story.

The implicit and explicit development that Hori put into Katsuki is insane if you're listening to him instead of viewing him as nothing more than a shitty bully archetype.

Whether it's deserving of forgiveness was always up to only the character in the narrative, Izuku, to decide. BC this is fiction, and these are characters, and they serve a purpose to a theme.

like the first time we see it it could be a stylistic choice bc iirc she was taking photos for the erewhon gabriela smoothie right?

but usually, if not always katz tiktoks are filmed when they go to rehearsals and dont wear formal attire. instead they were casual clothing like jeans and tshirts. in today's tiktok it isnt jeans and tshirts but hey its still not something formal

which means the cherry necklace is very normal and it is glued to her neck

okay thats all i was sleepy last night so i couldnt type properly or explain my thoughts

peace

RIGHT ON POINT AGAIN!

like you said, the very first time we've seen the necklace was on her story for the erewhon promos so fine, it might've just been a stylistic choice, but now that it's showing up on tiktoks? and mind you, tiktoks that are filmed when they're in the practice room/not in promo outfits.

Tommy is consistently the guy who shows up for Buck. What we’ve seen, even with how little of it we’ve seen, this is a constant thread. I almost sometimes feel like I’ve dreamed this whole thing, because what we’ve seen and what we’re hearing from all sides makes it seem like somehow we’ve misread all of it. It’s confusing.
