The Todo Siblings Mean Everything To Me :(

Rereading the shatter me series and ik that this is just straight up factually incorrect but Warner is a twink to me. I literally cannot picture him any other way. Like in my head boy's got good muscle but put him in an XL tshirt and he's SWIMMING in that thing. It also takes significant effort to remind myself that he is blond despite it being described multiple times and I always picture him with glasses despite that, again, being obviously wrong. Listen the little psychopath traumatized freak boy is so so much funnier if he's like 5'7 and wears glasses. That's just me though

This is a really good point and I probably could've phrased it better! I was trying to say, it's less that the people around him are influencing him now and more that he was in an echo chamber in middle school. And I do believe he was in an echo chamber. Throughout the flashbacks to his and Midoriya's past, I don't believe we ever see any adult standing up to him. In fact, I don't think we see ANYONE standing up to him other than Midoriya himself (which is important, because it's one of the main foundations of Midoriya's character).

When Bakugou gets to UA, one of the first interactions he has with his classmates is someone telling him off! Iida yells at him for being impolite and having his feet on the desk iirc. And then it happens again: Tsuyu and Kaminari both criticize him for his cruelty and general assholery on the bus to the USJ. And even if Bakugou's classmates don't hate him, even if after a certain point they start to like him, the one thing they never do? They never shut up when he acts like a dick. There's pretty much almost always a snide comment or an objection from one of them— and this extends to their teacher, too! Mr Aizawa may not care so much about Bakugou hurting people's feelings, but he'll sure as hell step in when his temper gets in the way of his schoolwork (which it often does; emotional dysregulation is almost never useful in any meaningful way).

I won't say I think Bakugou never would have changed if not for 1-A, or Aizawa. I truly believe that he is a good person at his core, and wouldn't have turned villain or whatever, maybe he would've even eventually shown some of the growth he has now if left to his own devices. But to be surrounded by a posse of morally absent yes-men, and to be in a school environment in which none of the teachers seem willing to check you, is not conducive to personal growth, especially when you're literally just a dumbshit middle schooler with way too much power (no offense lol)

All this to say, you are absolutely right for thinking he made a conscious effort to be better, and I hope you agree with my analysis as well!

oooo that was fast ty

okay. does katsuki believe he's worthy of being loved? a bit of a tricky question. I think for a long time it wasn't even something he really thought about very often. if you'd asked, he would've said duh, obviously, but it wouldn't be clear if he actually believed it.

then, of course, the crash hits: he's not the best student in class 1-A. he didn't even get his fucking license. he fucked everything up with deku and he knows it. all might is gone and it's his fault. fully in his self-loathing arc, even more so than he arguably already was, just as he's starting to actually give a damn about what people think of him as a person rather than just as a hero-in-training. and if I'm being honest, I don't think this is something that would be easily fixed by making friends or falling in love. it would certainly be a start, not isolating himself, but unless he actually looks within himself and realizes that he still sees love as something you have to earn— something he hasn't earned— love will always be something that just happens to him, instead of something he really is worthy of.

with that in mind, I think the katsuki we see after the end of the war arc is absolutely ready to actually love himself and the people around him in a healthier way. just... please get him some therapy. I'm begging. group sessions with the whole class, even.
