Mista's my favorite va character and as such he's automatically subjected to the bisexualification beam but I cannot take fics where he's at peace with it anymore, I just know it in my heart that under that sweater that man has a rosary that was passed down onto him by his grandma or something and that he spent his childhood playing football in some church's backyard with the neighbourhood kids and that he instinctively feels kind of weird about himself

#the playing football by a church thing was very much me when i was little at the fucking. salesiani but a lil projection never hurt anyone #(.❛ ᴗ ❛.) but other than that this is all real to me. put some repression in that man...... #giorno (gay. thinks mista knows it and that he's cool with his own sexuality): mista we should fund the creation of an arcigay site here #mista: ????? t. the hell you want to do????????? #he's the embodiment of that '' 'straight' men looking at their effeminate guy friend two beers in'' post. to me. #mytext #jjba #vento aureo #animanga

Unfortunately, I have trust issues when it comes to this kind of stuff 😭 While I dislike izuocha I'm not a "X canon truther" for any ship (especially because of the whole industry. The characters and the themes are met with lots of opposition as it is, I think that it'd be extremely hard to also get a queer couple out there), so I'd find it ideal if bnha ended with no relationships at all, and I do think that there's a chance that it will, it's just. The Fear. The Anticipatory Frustration even, if you will

Always appreciate some hate lol though i started to see them as a lost cause when any time there could have been a chance it was immediately cockblocked. Like, even the things that could've been significant for them ended up being about Togachako in the end so yeah. At one point you just gotta accept it was on purpose.

Yeah like T-T the only time I ever felt the faintest trace of appreciation for them was when they talked on the roof, and even then it wasn't even about them aksfjf. I really really really hope that you're right and that Horikoshi truly didn't land anywhere with them purposefully, because even just the thought of a surprise get together despite everything has me feeling

#''i don't need to win i just need izuochas to lose'' #is my outlook. basically #but also i was a doomerist for the tgck talk to begin with and in the end that did go well so who the hell knows #bnha #animanga #myasks

Anyway I wonder what it might mean that Toga the canon bi + fictional metaphor for queerness in general was explicitly told that her feelings were abnormal even though they were natural to her while Uraraka her foil and alleged love interest to the mc was implicitly told that her feelings for him were normal even though she didn't feel at ease with them. Ahah.

#explosions. going off in my mind. #especially because toga's feelings became harder and harder to manage until she couldn't hold them in anymore but uraraka's. didn't. #bnha #togachako #animanga #mytext

Sorry for the epic of gilgamesh but idk I woke up with izuocha hate on my mind today and I gotta let some of it out so this isn't really going to be coherent. Power of Hindsight to me, but the way this is all still applicable even after her admission of liking/having liked Midoriya (translations vary)... If anything, compared to the everything that she has told and shared with Toga during their confrontation, those feelings appear secondary at best, especially because of the way in which they are brought up: as only one of the stepping stones that have allowed Uraraka to get closer to Toga

Also, this is something that I've seen mentioned here and there (and that I fully agree with), but. Although she recognised the (past?) existence of her feelings for Midoriya, she never did tell Toga what her deal what, why she felt like they were bad for her (and nor did she ever inwardly come back to it). Why? Their conversation perfectly lent itself to it. Everyone can want and think about multiple things but for some reason Uraraka couldn't hypothetically work hard while also liking someone? Why?? It's not like anyone told her that, quite the contrary actually. I wonder how her thoughts and actions could be interpreted in light of this :) who knows :)) because the alternative really is "damn, Uraraka, you fucking suck LOL". And not to also throw in the Sexuality Discourse, but it's especially because of how messy this fuckass "romantic subplot" is that I get sooo pissed off when people get all "if you don't hc her as bi you're biphoc". I, a living breathing bisexual, am going to *remembers that it's a fascist move to employ threats of physical violence as an intimidation technique* explode you. within the confines of my mind.

I wanna go on and on about a thing and 'tis my premise

Now, to the scene that kicked off the Cursed Subplot

First and foremost, one of my grievances with it is that Aoyama's comment is pretty much out of nowhere. Despite having had little to no interaction with Uraraka prior to this, somehow he knows her enough to tell what she's thinking, and the audience is just supposed to accept this. >_>? Ultimately his comment has no purpose other than that of making Uraraka aware that she's got something going on, but it just feels unsatisfactory, cheap, and out of place. I've seen theorises that he wanted to fail the exam on purpose to avoid going to the summer camp (thus, avoiding to aid AFO), but that still doesn't explain how he Just Knew which button to push

Having said that, it's Interesting_Meme.jpeg that this isn't the first time something went bad for Uraraka after she tried to use Midoriya as a reference [see: the Sports Festival arc, "I'll win just like Deku!" -> loses immediately after she has this thought]. And I say "bad" for a reason: in a real fight, this distraction would have killed her. Hell, she still could have gotten injured if Thirteen hadn't reacted in time. It's exactly the same thing that happened during the first mock battle supervised by All Might: the fact that this was an exercise is what allowed her to pass

And there's quite some satisfaction/vindication to knowing that it's not just me, random reader, who says this

"Always be conscious of who you are"... i.e. possibly thee sentence that is most relevant to her character arc in the whole manga

With the added detail that Toga was a character created specifically for her, and that Uraraka was developed to match Toga, it's hard to see how "being just like the person you like" could have anything but negative results. Toga's case is more complex because of the combination of natural urges she feels due to her quirk and the abuse and neglect she suffered at the hands of society, and I don't personally believe that "she's just mistaken" about love and admiration being connected, as some people say, but the core idea of Identity is the same. Becoming (just like) someone else means giving up on everything that makes you you, and Uraraka has been "punished" for having tried to. While she hasn't explicitly said anything about it (yet) ("chat about love" I am so terrified of what could come out of you), it's only with the shift to "I can be inspired by Deku" that she effectively stops stacking losses or half-assed results. And I guess that thinking about it as a shift to something constructive rather than as a full suppression of feelings does solve at least the contradiction of "If Toga suppression = bad, why Uraraka suppression = good?" (I still think "I can teach you, Toga, how love should actually be!" would be a TERRIBLE thing though btw)

This is one of the instances where the japanese text may help a lot, because "bottling feelings up" and "keeping feelings under control" do share a common repression element to them, but at the same time they aren't the same

I do think that on its own this is a good approach to love as a theme, but as things currently stand, (excluding things like Uraraka being sidelined so often and the lack of interaction with other characters) my gripes with Horikoshi are: the interference of other characters (Aoyama, Mina) is annoying; it's ultimately disappointing that, as far as the relationship side of things is concerned, everything is on Uraraka's shoulders alone. Midoriya merely is an unaware external cause, and this lack of reciprocity not only renders the prospect of a possible future relationship between them completely unappealing and bland (if the standards for romance are supposed to be a character thinking "Oh, A Cute Girl I just met is talking to me!"... *side eye*), but personally it also... makes him feel like an intruder. When I think about "the love subplot", it's Uraraka and Toga that immediately come to my mind, with Midoriya just being an annoying afterthought, because he's only indirectly involved and... that's it ("he's just standing there... menacingly!")

I was thinking about younger them sharing a cool blanket fort, talking about their plan to explore the outside world. Sora is definitely the one who hides his special snacks under the pillow. His mom would have screamed when she found the melted chocolate bar😂
