by popular demand, here is my oc chatter regarding stuff like relationships n random character traits. its rly long oops but i divided it by character at least lmao,, these are all things that i think id also wanna use if i ever use these characters as humans (which i def will at some point honestly)

- i thinkkkk i want toad and pike to date. toad would come across pike in their lagoon one day while hes wandering around on another wonked exploration and pike is like hey lol :B with their pointy teeth and long ass hair and toad is like :0 he just sits and talks with pike for hours and comes by a few times a week to hang out with them. they fall in LOVE

- fred and lani are def gonna date too. two butches who use he/him pronouns fuck yeah? they have a powerful relationship. mega BDE. power couple. not a lot of pda but alone together theyre both very loving and tender, its a vulnerability thing for both of them. like lani is very cool and can be either stoic or borderline obnoxious while fred is punkish. fred is very head over heels for lani tho

- mardi n berg.....complicated....i gotta figure out how they actually end up together. berg is a jogger and mardi is a piercer/tattoo artist so that doesnt....make them line up very much in that department. ill think about it more and figure something out. itll probably have something to do with berg’s nose stripes and eye rings

- also side note on mardi......i want his backstory to include a grey period set off by his brother being eaten when they were both young at the troll tree. like he becomes angry and depressed, sorta like branch, his tattoos that he gives himself the only color on his body, until he learns to let go and his colors come back (high key this was inspired by 21 savage, mardi’s voice claim, and the line in his new song A Lot “my brother lost his life and it turned me to a beast”). ill develop this idea further but i just wanted to get it written down

- bismuth.......unsure. they had a crush on pepper and kept trying to ask her out until she came out to them as a lesbian, then they were like :’) but theyre ride or die theyre not gonna be an ass to her because they cant date her. they just care a lot about her. its like icarly

- gazpacho and jupiter CUTE two small trans trolls in That Love. i need to develop them more but. theyre just cute

- talia is still a little too new for me to develop her......but im thinkin about it...

- kinda same with ernie and olive. they kinda mostly just exist as cute babby characters right now? if anything olive is a trouble maker and ernie is a chatterbox

- clem and thursday also fuckin cute as hell......clem was a nervous wreck asking thursday out but theyve been together like ever since, which is more than a few years. they have a rly cute gentle lovey dovey relationship. thursday is usually hanging around up on her gf’s shoulder giving her kisses on the cheek

- bea and crystal.......adorabl relationship......crystal is another character thats kinda nervous but bea is so chill n confident is helps calm her down. theyre both trans and love the hell out of each other. rly slow n steady relationship, bea is very patient

- pj and marcus!!!! dumb mlm rep relationship. pj is so so gay for marcus he can barely comprehend it. its a dumb ego boost for marcus but hes also very in love with pj, he just expresses it in a weird cocky way idk marcus is a nerd. i need to make more content for them i think about these two way more than it seems

- dwight!! he has a boat. he lives on the boat.....ive thought about maybe pairing him with toad and pike. deciding on his voice claim has been the most difficult thing ever

- kass and current HELL yeah buff gf and tol gf......they spar with swords and wrestle for fun and hang out at the beach a lot. kass fuckin loves the gem on current’s back. i gotta make more content for them

- celia......i wanna do more with celia. friends with berg probs theyre both sporty. shes just a sweet giant troll who loves mushrooms. i gotta pair her with someone whose palette goes nicely with her pastels

- carrot and harriet are literally cricket and tilly from big city greens just older. yeehaw siblings. havent thought about relationship stuff with harriet yet.....i think she also needs ANOTHER redesign her colors are just too heavy still. maybe if i can make her colors compliment celia’s that could work as a pairing? hm hm.....carrot tho is dating ford’s oc rye theyre gentle country gays

- rainer. hm. i dont think theyre rly the dating type......theyre just chill with being them. they just wanna swim and be funny

- hammond and andromeda are probs two of my least developed characters.....hammond still needs a redesign. he might be cute to pair with walter, theyre around the same age. andromeda tho i have no idea. she might be a nice pairing with eve? if i ever feel like pairing her with someone...who knows. eve is very carefree and might find andromeda’s energy too intense

- radish i wanna make more content for!! i rly like her a lot....i think shes another troll who isnt interested in dating. shes very focused on being a chef instead. loves her friends a lot!

- mack and pepper 2gether 4ever obvs......they have a relationship that gets richer with age for sure

- im just gonna ramble about mack. i thinkkkkkkk i wanna make her half latina? columbian specifically. she doesnt quite read as white and i didnt make her with the intention of making her white. anyway i love mack a whole lot and should really develop her backstory more. its not rly as like...””tragic”” or whatever as pepper’s i know that but she def has layers. i wanna give her whole family more depth. she has a very complicated relationship with her own feelings and motivations that i need to think about more fully. my powerful femme tho i lov her

- mack’s parents, robin and champagne, i need to like....think about them more. they have kinda a comedic relationship thats sorta inspired by roger rabbit and jessica rabbit. robin is a very caring, gentle troll who’s very smart and cares a lot about his nursing responsibilities in the village. champagne is very relaxed and the “voice of reason” character of the family. she loves a good party and has her party planning down to a science. both are very successful power parents. kickass family

- i already talked about topaz and marney in a separate post but i still love them both so much. big wesbiabs

- pepper....pebber. im gonna talk about her the most obviously gfhjdkrs i wanna talk about her mental health i feel like i think about it a lot but i never write about it explicitly? this is gonna be long oops hgjfksd she has depression and ptsd stemming from the trauma of her crash...im thinking she also has adhd and thats just something shes always had. her depression rly got heavy during her recovery and right after like...she hated being bed/housebound and felt rly powerless to her situation and just let it eat at her until her personality had actually changed considerably. like extroverted wild child rebel to introverted, soft-spoken sulker. this got better with time but she still is pretty introverted, just turned her moodiness into chill energy.

- she has bad depression habits like letting dishes, old food, laundry, or just stuff pile up in her room until it gets overwhelming and she spends like two days just manically cleaning; or staying in bed for way longer than she should and messing with her hygiene; or eating way more or way less than she should eat in a day. just stuff thats hard to completely break out of when youre recovering. her color is pretty consistently the dark red but if shes having a particularly rough day she might look a little paler, or like a muddy brick color at her worst. thats kinda rare tho

- her ptsd is the thing she hates the most. for a while it made her feel very weak and she’d beat herself up over being traumatized by the crash which was obviously not helpful to her mental state but she was really all over the place during her bodily recovery. its part of the reason why she started working out, she wanted to reclaim some sort of feeling of strength and power that she felt she’d lost completely. she still gets really frustrated with this feeling of loss but she gets a lot of support from loved ones which has helped her not self-blame so much. her ptsd manifests mostly as nightmares/insomnia, chronic headaches/stomachaches, intrusive thoughts and sometimes flashbacks. the nightmares are what rly get to her, she really doesnt get a lot of good sleep and it can get to the point where she just doesnt want to sleep sometimes and she’ll stay awake until she crashes hard

- her scars used to be a big trigger for her ptsd, which is why she has her bangs covering the one on her face and wears long pants (her knee braces are too bulky for pants and would force her to wear shorts which would force her to expose her scars). she just. really really hates them. this is something she struggles with for a majority of her life

- once she and mack start going steady with their dating and start consistently sleeping in the same bed, pepper starts to sleep better. she still has nightmares that wake her up at least weekly, but having mack there to comfort her (whether she wakes mack up accidentally or if mack is already awake) helps a TON with getting her back to sleep soundly. it also just helps her sleep in general to have that comforting, loving presence in her bed snuggled up to her ;w; mack is a big help in general with pepper’s mental health, pushing pepper to make better, healthier choices and get out in the village more and have fun. mack for sure does not “”cure”” pepper of anything but shes a very positive light in pepper’s life that helps her pull thru tough times!

- i love all my goofy trolls so much. its so fun to just chill and blab about them to relax between working on big projects ;o; ty if u cared enough to read this whole thing ur so rad

#writing about my hooligan troll ocs is so relaxing #like im not overly invested its just something fun to think about and thats just very nice #txt #oc #oc rambles #ill tag it as that so i dont lose this #trolls #long post

I know the only person this is going to matter to/apply to is me because nobody else hates Bakugo as much as I do and everyone hates Mineta, but I just want to clarify that how much I hate Bakugo and Mineta are on very different levels.

That is to say, they arent comparable. Not because I hate Bakugo significantly less than Mineta, but because of the difference between intentional and unintentional hatred.

Bakugo is a character that you’re...not supposed to hate as much as I do, necessarily? But you’re not supposed to love him unconditionally. He’s not some precious uwu baby, he’s a big bully and a dick to the main protagonist. He’s supposed to be an interesting antagonist. Not a villain yet, but still an antagonist. You’re not supposed to sympathize with him like you’d sympathize with Izuku, or Uraraka, or even Iida. I probably hate him more than I’m supposed to, but you’re not supposed to see him as the good guy, you’re supposed to see him as a dick, so it kind of works out. Alternately, it makes it HELLA cathartic when the narrative decides to give him his just deserts, so again, it kinda works out. (Unfortunately Bakugo is also a bit of a prodigy so those cathartic moments are few and far between, but even knowing that almost everyone else hates him is super satisfying)

Mineta is a comic relief. That’s, like, confirmed from the creator - he’s just supposed to be a comic relief. There are very few other characters that are solely/primarily there for comic relief but I guess the main characters he’s up against are Hagakure and Aoyama. And you know what? Hagakure and Aoyama make me laugh. I take one look at them and they make me laugh. Not everything they say makes me laugh (Aoyama in particular doesnt make me laugh all the time) but they never make me angry at the characters themselves. (Especially Hagakure, Hagakure is amazing and I’d die for her) In fact I like both characters, and I’m not a very comedy-driven person (just take my word for it, I know my tumblr presence doesnt reflect that but shh). But Mineta? His design doesn’t really bother me, but god, even his voice is annoying. He’s only ever said one thing that I can think of that I didnt lowkey or highkey want to punch him for (I dont remember what it was, but it had to do with Izuku pushing himself too far) Even if he’s just, like, scared, everything about how he’s written and voiced makes me want to smack him into another anime. Like it’s not even his sexual perversions that annoy me, although to be fair if he was just a big baby he’d be a lot more tolerable.

I’ve analyzed both Bakugo and Mineta and how they relate to other characters in their respective tropes.

For all intents and purposes, Bakugo is an extremely well-written character - thus far anyways/from what I can tell with the information we’ve been given in the anime, and currently without any character development. It’s possible this is more of a western thing but whenever I think of classroom bullies, I think of dumb assholes who even my overly nice ass could probably beat in a roasting competition because they aren’t even remotely intelligent - or if you want to get really deep, the same character except with some tragic backstory that causes them to bully like their mom died and their father is hard on them. And then they get redeemed and suddenly they do well in school again. But Bakugo absolutely subverts this as being intelligent, calculating, and not even a braggart about his intelligence - whenever someone points it out, he just kind of brushes it off. He’s much more concerned with how physically powerful he is. Which is interesting, because he’s always been praised for his quirk and physical powers. And I think that’s what he prioritizes over all else, and why he acts like the fucking dick he is. Because he’s always been the best, because of his quirk, because of his physical prowess with said quirk, and he needs to prove it to everyone or else he isn’t valid. (Bakugo you’re already not valid you problematic shit but i digress)

But Mineta? Ehh. Not to sound like a Mineta apologist but he isn’t the absolute worst that the “sexually perverted child” trope has to offer. Having said that, even by the low, low standards of the very existence of the trope, he isn’t exactly a great one either. I mean you can make any trope work if you try hard enough and bend enough of the rules, but Mineta doesn’t do that. He doesn’t do anything particularly horrible for the trope, but he’s just uncomfortable because the trope itself is horrible.

And Bakugo here is interchangeable with almost any character in BNHA. Most of the major characters have something setting them apart from a trope, albeit some less than others, and even more minor characters like Kirishima feel well-rounded and interesting and like they’re avoiding or even downright subverting tropes (I lov Kirishima because he seems like someone who should be angry all the time like Bakugo but in reality he’s a giant sweetheart and I LOVE HIM). The other pure comedy reliefs aren’t quite as well rounded as, like, Iida, obviously. But even then, Aoyama’s quirk is really unique and Hagakure does have a relatable personality despite usually being reduced to a joke. Nothing sets Mineta apart from his trope besides also being another trope - a big crybaby, which actually isnt that uncommon in the sexually perverted child trope either.

#stormy speaks #im not gonna tag this as what id normally tag it as because it sounds mean as fuck to even imply that they could be comparable #what im trying to say is that they arent #and the only reason im writing it down is because i always use my tumblr to jot down random thoughts
