I’m saying this AS a deku stan. my literal favorite character in the whole goddamn world. what HAPPENED to him?
where is the "kacchan and everyone else" deku…
"what would kacchan do?"
"in the heat of battle I can't help but mimic you because you're my image of victory"
"all might was my hero, but you were the one actually in my life"
“I always chased after you”
"I can't imagine a world in which kacchan doesn't exist"
the "control your heart" deku.
the deku that only ever looked at katsuki with an awestricken, admirable expression. the deku that was so obsessed with katsuki.
katsuki was deliberately targeted by the villains because of this… I liked that deku was flawed in this way. that he prioritized someone in his life that was awful to him in the past. it’s one of the things that made him so interesting! that he was SO hopeful and so determined to be friends with katsuki again. (it added a comedic contrast to their dynamic too. like ‘wow he still wants this guy in his life so badly despite the bullying?’ YES.)
deku fans, deku haters, EVERYONE used to have something to say about his katsuki obsession. it was a repeated, central discussion for YEARS. even in parodies by non-shippers, deku’s katsuki obsession was constantly poked fun at. even if you hated bkdk you couldn’t deny how dedicated deku was to katsuki.
