[intro]

Bakugou is a prideful, arrogant person. He holds himself to the highest standard; he is the best and everyone else is simply below him. Everything he has ever done was in pursuit of being number one, shining above the rest. He has to have a perfect victory, he has to be a perfect student, he has to win to save.

He pushes and pushes and won’t let anyone see his weaknesses or his insecurities. He can never lose, he can never fail, he can never show that he regrets or hesitates or that he hasn’t thought everything through. He must never be vulnerable in every sense of the word.

Then why is he standing in the rain.

To apologize shouldn’t be a sacrifice, but it is for Bakugou. To pour his feelings, to admit his wrong, to let down all of the walls he has built and be vulnerable. And in front of his whole class.

He is willing to sacrifice his pride, to fully sacrifice any superiority he could have, to bare his soul and even risk rejection. Because he knows Midoriya is more important. Because he wants him to come home, he wants him to know his true feelings, because he wants things to change. 

Because Midoriya has changed him. Midoriya has opened his eyes; by showing him he’s allowed to be open, that his feelings should be expressed, that he has so much to learn, and so much of that was learned through Midoriya just existing.

He isn’t sacrificing his safety frivolously because he’s expected to as a hero; he is doing it because he has grown. He is doing it because he has finally admitted to himself that he wants Midoriya to be with him and safe.

So I will sacrifice this for you. Not because it will change anything, as much as I want that I know that I can’t just fix all the wrong with just this. And I am willing to do as much as it takes to earn your forgiveness. But I don’t need that from you, not now and not ever if you don’t want that, I just need you to rest. I did so much wrong. And I am sorry for everything. You don’t have to do this alone. Lean on us. You are so strong and being supported doesn’t discount that. You’ve taught me that. 

I hate the rain. But I will brave it for you. 

He would do everything in his power, admit so many things, just to get Midoriya to take care of himself. We see him being the most vulnerable he has ever been in front of people that aren’t Midoriya. He does so much completely out of character, all in pursuit of being there for Midoriya. 

For Izuku.

He finally gets over himself and finally tells Midoriya the feelings he has felt for so long.

He lets go of this idea he is inherently better and finally acknowledges that his hatred for Midoriya has always been about his own shortcomings and insecurities. But he still wants to be better, they are still rivals. He isn’t going to sacrifice that part of him because that is just who he is; he is still going to push to number one.

But now it’s different.

There is verbal and vocal acceptance and respect. Before it was unspoken; their relationship had changed ever since Ground Beta. They were proper rivals, with mutual respect and care, they were actively making each other better.

But Bakugo finally verbalizes it and tells Midoriya, not only is he sorry, but he wants to actually have a proper friendship; he wants to continue to become better and earn his forgiveness. He wants them to push each other to be better, he wants to continue to fight for the top spot, he still wants to be the best.

But when did it become something else? 

When was the turning point when it started to shift from wanting to surpass Midoriya and be the best, to wanting to keep up with Midoriya and stay by his side?

Bakugou has already sacrificed himself for Midoriya before. His body moved on its own; with no hesitation, he would save Midoriya. He has already risked his life for him. But there is a layer to it that I don’t think people talk about. 

He tells Midoriya he shouldn’t try to win this on his own. 

He disguises his concern with an insistence that he’s in it to fight for himself when he initially joins the battle. But it is to fight by Midoriya’s side and support him.

But taking the hit for Midoriya, jumping in the way isn’t just support. This is sacrifice. This is giving yourself to ensure the safety of someone. And it was second nature. 

There are two reasons and both are a sacrifice of something in the moment.

It is knowing someone is so valuable, so great, in all senses of the word, that they must be protected. Bakugou is sacrificing his body and admitting that Midoriya needs to stay alive, for personal reasons and/or for the world. He needs Midoriya to be okay, Midoriya can’t fight alone and Bakugou will do anything to make sure he will be okay. 

But the sacrifice of ideology. 

With every development, he has relinquished parts of himself. When he sacrifices himself he is not only sacrificing his body but is admitting that he can’t do this on his own; he needs Midoriya too. This isn’t him wanting to be better than Midoriya, it’s him wanting to do it together.

Midoriya changed him.

He doesn’t die for Midoriya. He wakes up and just as his last thought was Midoriya, so was his first as he woke up. He runs to his side. People are dragging him back, trying to have him rest, knowing before he even said anything that he would lose his mind over Midoriya’s situation. 

Everyone sees how Bakugou feels about Midoriya.

He sacrifices himself because Midoriya can not die on him. Midoriya has to stay alive. Midoriya has to keep fighting. 

There can not be a world that doesn’t have him in it.

This is the culmination of what has been developing ever since the final exam where Bakugou finally works with Midoriya; the day that win to save, save to win was noticed. Then furthered after Ground Beta where they finally talked to each other and something changed within them both.

But the final sacrifice is the culmination of Bakugou’s character.

He knows what this decision will mean. Everyone screams for him not to. He knows that he is going to die. He knows he will not win this fight.

This isn’t dying for the cause. This isn’t just a hero complex. This is because he can help Midoriya and he will. This is for Izuku.

I will sacrifice myself for you. To give you more time, to give you even the slightest chance of winning. I will sacrifice myself for you because you are who can win. I am going to die. I am going to die and in my final thoughts, I will ask if I will still be able to be by your side.

It is no longer can I beat you. It is no longer can I surpass you. It is can I still catch up to you. It is can I still even be equal to you. He has already sacrificed the idea that he could beat Midoriya, that isn’t what he wants anymore. What he wants is to stay here with him.

I will sacrifice everything I am. I have wanted to be the best. All my life I have wanted to surpass you and everyone around me. But you. I will let that go for you. I let it go in my mind for so long now and I have never wanted to admit it. Is it even possible? Is it even possible for me to catch up to you? Is it even possible for me to stay by your side. I can’t be that anymore. I am sacrificing even that now. I will never be number one now. I will never become the person I always dreamed to be. I will never surpass you. I am forever sacrificing that now. I will die here.  

But can I still be with you?

The sacrifice of his life is him fully relinquishing everything he is, admitting that he can’t keep up, losing all of the progress he has made, letting go of everything that made up his character.

And the last thing on his mind is if he can still be able to be by Midoriya’s side.

He won’t let him go again. 

#EDITED BC I REALIZED I DIDNT PUT A READ MORE SO IT MUST BE SO OBNOXIOUS #so I finally finished putting in the images and mustered up the courage to post it #I’m always so nervous about posting opinions or anything long bc I get super passionate and I’m scared it’s wrong— #i added pictures as evidence but in reality is was bc i was super insecure that no one would want to read all that-- #the intro was so long and was also made to apply to both togachako and bakudeku so i just made it a masterpost instead #this is still very long i am sorry but i have so many thoughts #but like yeah this is just my little essay about sacrifice and love and how they’re intertwined #and it goes both ways #but that’s for another day and another essay #togachako follow the sacrifice and love perfectly #so I will probably write one for them as well… maybe #bkdk #bakudeku #bnha meta #bakudeku meta #bnha analysis #mha analysis #bnha spoilers #<- for the whole manga but cmon if ur reading this you know it all #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku

Pathologic fandom stop excluding Clara from stuff challenge

#the amount of times i’ve seen her not included in stuff is baffling #like i get it from a meta perspective #her route isn’t unlocked until you beat the game #but she’s still a main character 😭 #she appears in the theater intro in p1 and she shows up a lot in p2 #she deserves more than what she gets #especially when she is one of the most important #if not the most important #character in the whole game #i’m just tired of female characters being brushed aside for the men #like don’t get me wrong #i love artemy and daniil #but you can’t deny that they get way more attention than clara #pathologic #pathologic hd #pathologic classic hd #pathologic 2 #clara pathologic #clara the changeling #clara saburova

How high is the rent in Nijigao City that MADGUY just decided they were going to play a 1000 IQ move and live in a secret base?

#Ride Kamens #MADGUY #ライドカメンズ #マッドガイ #I keep calling them my trash boys but I say it so lovingly #Because I love them MADGUY have my whole existence if they cease so will I #Okay but I love the intro video where Araki and Agata are clearly at work and then here comes Kamui like LOL sorry not sorry I am beautiful #Fish Monger Agata still has my soul in a death grip like if he just looked at me and went “Sakana” I would give him all my money #Insanity Draws #Insanity of Mojiru

never getting over how. melancholy im here sounds

the chords in the chorus sound a little more triumphant at first but it kinda just sounds like a half victory. the pain of the journey is still there, even at the end of it all. but its alright. i will be with you. im here

#yeah im listening to it again #i dont think any song has had this much of an impression on me. MAN #its a leitmotif too ! while its not all over the place it definitely plays when it matters #when sonics losing himself. when he comes right back. when the journey is nearly over. when it truly is #as well as. gh the strings in the song 'friends' in the final horizon ost #and in the final battle #man when the. the guitar ? synth ? starts playing in the intro for the revisited version of im here. its different in the perfect way #sounds corrupted. still the same just. theres something off #whether thats for supreme and its whole deal with the end #or sonic and his newfound power regarding the corruption. idk #but. augh once it comes to the part. the turning point. the breakdown #when sonic decides its all out or nothing #now or never #and it REALLY picks up. #i dont even know where im going with this anymore its just music and a game with a nice story #but its so good #i love you music ily #sth #sonic frontiers spoilers #frontiers dlc spoilers #rambles #its midnight .

I read the event before work;; ( watch me add Nerine as a muse on multi, and maybe even Drusilla because Such character development for her in this event?!?!?!?!? )

#;big bubble blowing baby! ( ooc ) #( it'll probably end up the same as tikoh tho with “oh i loved her in the event *adds her then never uses her*” #but nerine with erbsu is a whole vibe........if she does get a unit i Will read the fate ep #maybe a scout too.........Maybe #that said korwa was serving Mother this event; i want her to be my mom #also though i want her in every event now because she's so much fun in these events #last lowain bros event and now this one........korwa is Vital i'm telling you ) #( side note i hate that andira is sitting down in the event skin #after the whole lily thing (me yelling at my screen GET HER OUT OF MY FACE upon her intro showing That in the event) i just #andira is a sitter but i no longer trust the kid artists. the only reason they have anything from me still is drus/neri matching outfits #and the art two gorgeous arts in this event #*me doing the finger eye movement thing* i'm watching you cygames. i'm Watching )

Reading the apparent first draft of the Face the Music script and this line is making me feel some kind of way

#N posts stuff #first off this song FUCKING slaps so jot that down #but also just the specification in how much thought and love bill and ted put into making this song #when everyone else thinks it fucking sucks is just #hhh; dudes i'm in love with you #the intro in this script is also extended beyond what the movie kept so it really just kind of underlines #that EVERYONE thought their music Fucking Sucked for the twenty plus years they've been making it post-bogus journey success #and they're still just kicking along putting their whole hearts and souls into making music they like regardless of all that #bnt

watching the clips from NCT Dream's The Dream Show 2 made me feel a lootttt of things since a lot happened actually. Overall it just made me realize how thankful and proud I am for the 7 of them and I hope they'll stay together for how many years seeing how much they really treasure their friendship and even us their fans.

#Quiet Down made me dizzy like i seriously did not expect that perfomance #The VCR's are so cuteee and yesss Actorrrr Dreamiesss #THE DREAMING FITS OMFG JENOOOOO #Even their intro fits are just 🫶🫶 also JAEMINNN #My first and last performance was cute and also made me emotional. Also love they include all the mini series something? #sorry heart also made me cry a liitle bit #and puzzle piece huhuhuhu #actually in puzzle piece i shed a tear but then chewing gum plays next shhshxusha #they sang Rainbow while the whole dome also looked like a rainbow becus of the lightsticks and it looked Magical #the Ments omg in Day1 Jisung cried and D2 almost half of them cried #Renjun doubting if he even deserve the love he's getting. I JUST WANNA GIVE HIM A HUG AND TELL HIM HE DESERVES ALL OF IT. #Started crying since Nana said he doesn't want czennies to cry and that made me cry #Haechan. omg haechan i also just wanna give him a hug since he did such a great job #Jeno saying he really felt that something was missing when Mark left back then. #Mark trying not to cry during his ment but still did when they performed on the way or walk you home? #i just love my dreamies so much

[tacagen]

gotta say, the new dw intro really scratches my brain just the right way

#like. the instrumentation and reimagining is so beautiful #they added so many little things in there!! and its the most orchestral its ever been!! #gragrhghgrrrh I WANT TO FUCKING EAT IT #doctor who #all of a sudden. wow never thought id return to it #cause usually im a hater but that mightve been just chibnall + moffat apparently #honestly i watched the last 4 eps and somehow i dont want to trash the whole thing and i have no idea why exactly #maybe the subconscious respect for tennant and tate. maybe the lack of the master and active mistreatment from both writers and the doctor. #maybe chibnall's writing of the doctor's character was so off i just got used to it and gave up on the whole idea until watching new eps #honestly the fuck was spyfall 2. the fuck was timeless children. the _fuck_ was the flux. the _FUCK_ was potd. #and oh my god can we talk about how much it felt like chibnall was inspired by cw flash (/neg) all the way from s12 to the very end to me #he put the master in doctor's body and MADE THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE THE FUCKING SPEED FORCE i couldnt make that shit up in a fever dream #and thats just what i recalled first. like the very concept of the timeless child sounds like barry being the sf source/beginning/whatever #the fucking crystal flux dude being an enemy doctor didnt face on screen yet yet knows her THAT KILLS HER FUCKING 'MOTHER'???? #..ok that escalated from an intro appreciation quickly. anyway #turns out i actually still fucking love it! turns out it shaped me in so many ways as my first fixation and still kinda resonates with me
