I wanted to draw a fanart for this fanfic. (There's a part 2 for this fanart🤭
Im gonna cry about this.
I just saw someone on tiktok point this out.
I am not okay.
If this is intentional (which it seems to be) I'ma kill myself (not rlly I just love these two so much and am so distraught about them)
Since he is not used to changing his shirt with using only one arm, Someone might have help him to do it too. Can you all imagine? 🤭🤭🤭
So you are still not gonna talk about Katsuki wearing All Might merch in chapter 429? 🤭
Katsuki is such a hero fanboy, I love him.
Look at him, so precious.
I love it.
asdfhjkga bakugo's death....
first animatic!!! this was so fun to make and I hope you like it! some parts are a little off beat... but that's okay!
After you said that, I tried to search his aji fry shirt too and-
I don't think it's the Aji Fry shirt. While aji fry shirt is black, this one is white and white one doesn't look like a V-neck either
AYOO IS KATSUKI WEARING THE SAME ALL MIGHT T-SHIRT THAT WAS GIVEN TO DEKU??!??
MY BOI FINALLY ACCEPTED HIS ALL MIGHT FAN ENERGY AND WEAR THAT DAMN MERCH TO SHOW HIS ADMIRATION?!??!?
HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THIS BKDK SHIPPERS!?!!?!!?
Also Shoto's eyes are hilarious asf
Mentally, I am here

Nobuhiko confirmed he cried in the recording booth like yeah no shit I could HEAR YOU WEEPING THROUGH YOUR LINES
Things to note here:
Yoichi took Kudo's hand. Bakugo did not take Izuku's hand, and didn't want to.
Yoichi was willing to be helped and saved. Bakugo was not.
Kudo looks down on Izuku for being an idealistic, foolish boy that wants to save everyone—but Kudo is like that too.
He's idealistic to the point of being crazy, for wanting to save not only his enemy's brother, but to take down the strongest man in the world, and save Japan from being ruled by him.
Kudo can look down on Izuku for believing in, and wanting to help, Bakugo, his childhood bully and someone he should hate.
But Kudo is just like Izuku. Yoichi was someone he should've hated, but he couldn't actually do it, and reached out his hand to help him up.
IZUKU AND KUDO OUTSTRETCH THE SAME HAND
YOICHI'S BODY IS FACING KUDO. BAKUGO IS FACED AWAY, WITH ONLY HIS HEAD TURNED
Yoichi was willing to acknowledge and look at Kudo head on. Bakugo wasn't.
Bakugo was acknowledging his Quirked friends when Midoriya suddenly appeared on the scene. Midoriya wasn't supposed to have been there. Like how Kudo shouldn't have been able to find Yoichi's vault.
Even if Midoriya and Kudo were weak to society (Gearshift is not a strong Quirk then), the level of receptiveness is visible.
Yoichi is weak and has no idea who he is, but gives his attention and fully looks at him.
Bakugo is strong, popular, and knows Midoriya, but doesn't want his help because of that. Because he views Midoriya as below him, but Yoichi never thought that way: rather, Yoichi saw himself as weak.
Izuku and Kudo didn't have to help them. The two just wanted to.
They both wanted to help someone they should've hated.
But they couldn't bring themselves to.
Like Midoriya, Kudo believes in Yoichi's goodness, and doesn't see him for AFO's brother.
Kudo looks at Midoriya and calls him an idealistic, delusional fool. But Kudo is just looking at Midoriya and seeing his past self.
Kudo is idealistic, stubborn, and delusional like Midoriya. He too, believed in the goodness of others he should've hated.
This is why Kudo wants Midoriya to walk down the same path as him: Midoriya will run full-sprint, but he needs to have friends that can match him.
Kudo knows what Midoriya needs and has to do. Because he went through the same thing.
This could also be another reason why he shut up when Midoriya used Gearshift to save All Might. Because Kudo wanted to save Yoichi when it was illogical and would've ruined him, but he did it anyway. Just like Midoriya did.
The fact Izuku and Bakugo are in knee-deep water. Yoichi and Kudo aren't, but they definitely were when Yoichi died.
Izuku thought Bakugo's life was endangered, and asked if he was okay and needed help.
When Yoichi and Kudo are knee-deep, Kudo is holding his hand, and Yoichi's life is endangered. Not just himself, but Kudo.
Y'know what I think about that? Next point. Here you go, bkdk shippers.
Holding hands was them tying / joining their lives together.
Kudo offered that. Midoriya offered that.
Yoichi took it. Bakugo didn't. But he would in the future, when Midoriya offers it again. And when he does, Midoriya embodies Kudo's Quirk into it.
Kudo tries warning of the blowback of Gearshift, but sees Vestige-Might's flickering, and shuts up.
Maybe he was reminded of Yoichi or his comrades. His Quirk was being used to save someone, back when he couldn't do the same as he held someone's hand.
This time, rather than to get away from the danger, it was to approach the danger and save someone in AFO's grasp.
Bakugo = Kudo, Izuku = Yoichi
An idea you'll see around the BNHA fandom about these characters is that.
But instead, the panels flipped the ones holding out their hand. First it was Kudo, then it was Izuku.
If Bakugo held out his hand, Izuku would've taken it. Like how Yoichi took Kudo's.
But if Yoichi and Kudo swapped places and Yoichi held out his hand, Kudo wouldn't have taken it. Because Yoichi was the younger brother of the Demon Lord, and someone Kudo should hate.
If Bakugo took Midoriya's hand, or Yoichi rejected Kudo's, the story would've been much more different.
428: a girl who loves smiles
Me: I should finish fanfic' arts first, then start to study for animation department entrance exam
My heart: Ok but why don't we draw something for our crush' birthday??
Me: We won't draw anything bc he is an ex-crush(?).
My heart: So what? You don't have to show him what u drew anyways.
Me: THEN WTF I SHOULD DRAW THAT?
My brain: Just do it.
My heart after some time: Wanna draw helluva boss and hazbin hotel arts too? You also promise that you will draw a lot of bnha art🥺-
the fact that so many people are actually convinced that horikoshi’s going for an izuocha endgame after reading the latest chapter is truly horrifying and goes to show how most people don’t take wlw pairings seriously. because, really, who cares that uraraka is grieving over the loss of her beloved? she’s speaking to izuku, that is DEFINITELY an izuocha hint, right??
that’s the best proof that when it’s a straight ship EVERY communication will be considered romantic and when its a gay ship “you can have a lifetime's worth of my blood” or “their feelings become one” is obviously pLaToNiC
I'll have my university entrance exam results nearly in 6 hours later and this will effect most of the things in my life.
But here I am, just doing some sketches for a fanfic bc it's so good (It's TAOF on ao3 by @sapphicflower-ao3).
And I don't regret it.
This is destroying me.
Yes it's cute but the implications of this make me want to tear Studio Bones apart with my teeth.
They've been using baby Izuku and Tenko in the OPs/EDs for a while to represent Izuku's desire to save that crying little boy at the core of who Tomura is. That makes sense. My problem isn't that tiny Izuku is running to Tomura in this scene but that HE STOPS.
It's not of his own desire to stop. He wants to keep going but he runs out of breath. His childlike unshakable optimism gets him a long way but not far enough to actually save Tomura the way he wanted.
Because YES, this is Tomura's death scene.
The only time we see Tomura look like this at this point in the series is his last conversation with Izuku as he dies and this is showing us outright that while Izuku is going to put absolutely everything into trying to save him, he is going to fall short.
He is going to run out of breath.
You are a mothafuckin sadist and I hate your ideas but I love your ideas too but fck u
im cooking up an incredibly bittersweet dead bkdk comic be prepared yall
I love (fuccing fear from) your ideas and I truly wanna see more of this (Im gonna cry afterwards.)
@arokacchan ik you didnt send it as an ask but no katsuki is perfectly alive in the afo izuku au hes just hand-less
I love this fandom so much.
If Bakugo and deku were types of bread, what would they be??🥐🍞
Bakugou’s ciabatta and Deku’s a brioche or milk bread
a part two to my previous post, essentially. (I'd 100% recommend checking that one out as it covers any other topics regarding mha and disabilities that I don't over here)
my hero academia has always been a story that revolves around the mistreatment of those born different/differently-abled, and I think the fact that that is constantly overlooked ruins the entire theme of the story.
This theme is set right from the get-go, chapter 1 izuku is shown to constantly face harassment, bullying, mistreatment, and downright abuse by the hands of not only his peers but teachers as well, with his middle school home room teacher pointing out how midoriya wanted to apply to U.A. KNOWING he would be ridiculed.
Now here comes the question of why, why is izuku treated so awfully for something that seems so genuinely inconsequential, I mean most people in the mha universe don't even become pros, and out of the few who do become heroes so little actually become well known and revered, so why would it matter if he has a quirk or not? Well, it all has to do with the nature of quirks themselves. See, quirks arent just powers that you can tap into when you need them, something you turn on and off. I'd think of it as more of an extension of yourself - we see this when inko (izukus mother) used her quirk to float this around the house to move them towards her, or bakugo using his explosions to light a fire and help him cook. Tsu using her tongue to grab things. Ojiros tail helping him stand when he's tired, leaning on it, todoroki using his quirk to cool himself and others down when overheating, or warm up when too cold. These are all examples of quirks being used as extensions of the body, not easily removed from ones identity or characteristics. I feel as though having a quirk genuinely changes the way you think, as in you wouldnt know how to function without one.
So quirks arent just for heroes, theyre something that is so genuinely seen as needed for every day function. To survive as a normal person in society, to socialize and fit In. The abnormal is the normal, and anything other then superhuman is subpar.
Not having a quirk means that you supposedly can't function on the same level as those who have quirks. That you are not as able-bodied as those around you.
You are disabled.
Izuku midoriya was disabled (at least to their standards ) and it was something that everyone around him constantly ostracized him for. (I reference disability in the sense of it being physical, but I think this could also be applied to having mental disabilities as well, different nuero types ECT)
But then something happens.
Izuku somehow gets a quirk, he somehow gets a quirk, and everyone around him sees him as this new person.
Because he's no longer suffocatingly uncomfortable to be around. He's no longer the weak disabled kid that cant be left alone because what if a villain attacks?? How will he possibly defend himself? How will be ever be successful in life without a quirk to get him by?
Something that I saw a lot was when someone who didnt have a quirk got brought up, people would get really uncomfortable. They would apologize. Because not having a quirk is awful, and it's so unfortunate. Midoriya even does it to Melissa when she admits that she in fact does not have a quirk.
Now, fast forward to after the war, izuku midoriya loses his quirk.
He is officially back at square one.
And everyone is back to treating him as awfully and neglectfully as they did before- only this time, instead of being just disabled, he's a veteran as well, which I think has people treating him even worse then they did before. (If you want more about this, check out my previous post, as it goes hand it hand with this one. )
My hero academia is a story about disability, how different abilities hinder people, or lack therefore. It is a story about being as gifted as you arent. It is a story about gaining things only to lose them and learning how to live without them again. It is a story about disabilities, and how different people learn to live and cope with that. From neurological to physical. And, personally, I think it has done a wonderful job in explaining that.
He will never forget.
(seriously, they literally shared each other's memories and it's actually so fucked up. Please someone get my boi to therapy.)
Also @xuune thank you for your all art advices💚 I tried my best, for now it's still not good enough but I will continue to try to make it better!
YESSSSSSS! IM GONNA READ IT WHILE EATING AND I HOPE THIS TIME THEY KISS🤭 LOL🤭 YOUR STORY IS LITERALLY THE BEST SLOW BURN I'VE EVER READ! THANK YOU MY BEST BKDK WRITER🥺🙏🏻
how ironic that the day i wanted to post the next chapter for TAOF was the day and time ao3 was going to be down for 10 hours 😭😭😭
NOOOOO😭😭😭
how ironic that the day i wanted to post the next chapter for TAOF was the day and time ao3 was going to be down for 10 hours 😭😭😭
this is literally one of my favorite panels of the war arc.
i am OBSESSED with deku’s perception of romance and how it’s probably based off popular melodramas and his peers’ stories about their dates.
because you can’t argue with me that that’s the reason why he will have no idea his and katsuki’s relationship is so close to romantic. i’m so sure he’s gonna be the last one to realise his feelings for katsuki aren’t purely friendly and platonic. the guy will be like “oh yeah we’re really close and i care about him deeply and i hate the very thought of him being hurt and i wanna spend the rest of my life next to kacchan but haha that’s just our friendship! we’re not holding hands and sharing crepes so there are no romantic feelings involved🥰”
bro is gonna be so shocked when kacchan finally confesses his true feelings.
Horikoshi really said happy pride month 🤭
The fact that Izuku isn't the one who is crying and it's bakugo😭
Every single fanart always drew Izuku as the one who is crying, guess no one expected this. Lmao
Anybody else remember being a bkdk in the year of 2018 and it was like. Controversial on tumblr.com to ship bkdk. Youd go through the bnha tag and half the posts would be like "dni: bkdks" and art of the two of them would say "do NOT tag as ship". Now you go in the bnha tag and its 95% bkdk. This is what it means to win btw
kacchan is standing before him, openly weeping, childishly professing he wanted a forever with him and Izuku is like ?? kacchan haha do you have brain damage horikoshi when I fucking catch you
It's the first time I'm drawing a fanart without a base or smthng and I think it came pretty good.
