Man s2 has some really on-the-nose metaphors for assault, doesn't it?

Will's body is quite literally invaded by the Mind Flayer, orally, an experience that Will tearfully describes as feeling everywhere.

So it's no wonder that the thing that ends up allowing Will to break free momentarily, is consent.

Mike recounts a moment where he gave Will the agency to choose. He didn't force Will to be his friend. He gave Will the option. "Do you want to be my friend?" and the answer was "Yes."

i really believe that discussing the character with someone who shares ur interpretation is the closest u can get to modern day philosophy. we are like plato and aristotle but talking about a fictional guys trauma

BKDK CODEPENDENCY- a little thing I wrote in my notes app bus they’re taking over my brain

Postwar bakudeku who are heavily co-dependant on each other but still in that awkward stage of their friendship where they are not quite comfortable enough to be touching so they look for the smallest excuses to be near. They partner up because “they’re the strongest and they push each other the most.” But they can only get so far into their second year of school without the class noticing how they’re ALWAYS around each other. “Hey where midoriya?” “ I dont know but I saw bakugou heading to the lounge room” and it just makes sense. And OH MY GOD there’s no escaping the way bakugou talks to him. It literally gives everyone whiplash. He’s so soft and gentle. Like yeah he throws in the occasional insult and Izuku might bite back but the way he significantly lowers his voice because he knows that even after all they’ve been through and how much they’ve both changed izuku is still that same little kid craving for a hint of his kindness. And it’s the way that midoriya will lure him out of a loud room with the ease of a siren. And everyone teases bakugou for it saying stuff about how he follows midoriya everywhere and he’ll deny it but he genuinely can’t not follow him. his body craves to be near him like he’s a drug. When they do finally get together they PHYSICALLY CANT BE PULLED APART. It’s not in a sucking on each others faces in the middle of a hallway like typical high school kids; Katsuki is not only deeply afraid but also heavily despises PDA. So they’ll just hold pinkies in public and izuku will sneak a kiss when no ones looking. Katsuki is very much an acts of service man so that means breakfast in bed when izus sick, laundry is usually all done since he will just do their clothes together. They practically live in each others rooms now. There’s just no putting in words how co-dependent they are. They CRUMBLE when they’re without each other, on some nana and ren shit, panic attacks from both parties when they have to go on overseas mission without each other especially from izuku. The trauma of what happened with bakugo because he wasn’t there when he needed him to be haunts Izuku well into his pro hero years. It’s not just each other physically they need each other though, as bakugou gets older (18-23) and his hearing gets worse the panic attacks become more frequent, he can’t call into the next room over and hear his boyfriend and that HAUNTS HIM until he and mei figure out a way for him to get cohealer implants that he won’t have to replace every mission.
