I'm So Tired Of People Thinking That Fictional Characters Always Need To Overcome Their Traumas Or Ghosts

I’m saying this AS a deku stan. my literal favorite character in the whole goddamn world. what HAPPENED to him?

where is the "kacchan and everyone else" deku…

"what would kacchan do?"

"in the heat of battle I can't help but mimic you because you're my image of victory"

"all might was my hero, but you were the one actually in my life"

“I always chased after you”

"I can't imagine a world in which kacchan doesn't exist"

the "control your heart" deku.

the deku that only ever looked at katsuki with an awestricken, admirable expression. the deku that was so obsessed with katsuki.

katsuki was deliberately targeted by the villains because of this… I liked that deku was flawed in this way. that he prioritized someone in his life that was awful to him in the past. it’s one of the things that made him so interesting! that he was SO hopeful and so determined to be friends with katsuki again. (it added a comedic contrast to their dynamic too. like ‘wow he still wants this guy in his life so badly despite the bullying?’ YES.)

deku fans, deku haters, EVERYONE used to have something to say about his katsuki obsession. it was a repeated, central discussion for YEARS. even in parodies by non-shippers, deku’s katsuki obsession was constantly poked fun at. even if you hated bkdk you couldn’t deny how dedicated deku was to katsuki.

WHAT HAPPENED????

abandoned wip, but I still find it cute.

I’m ovulating so damn bad !!! I’m horny as fuck for Viktor rn. I need him to put me through the mattress or a black hole in space to reach The Final Glorious Orgasm or whatever he said.

sorry but you all not about to give lily evans’ baby to regulus. HARRY’S HER ONLY CHILD. imagine people not only shipping your husband with somebody else but also giving them YOUR baby?? HELL NAH.

“The marauders grew up but Snape never did”

Brother Sirius was making his unconscious body hit things and still called him by the same mean nickname he did as kids as an adult, Remus literally gaslit him and harry about the bullying they put Snape through and abandoned his pregnant fucking wife, Peter literally sold all his friends out for self interest, and James kept jinxing snape behind lily’s back and then died 3 years later . Is the growing up in the room with us?

rawr xD

everyone can argue & defend snape all they want but tbh deep down irdgaf!! like at allll!!

his complexity & controversial actions is what makes him a great character .. in fact, I wish he was MORE of an asshole to everybody in that story actually!

Honestly, my main problem with people trying to paint Severus as the reincarnation of the devil is that he really wasn’t that bad of a person. I mean, within the world of Harry Potter, where the moral and emotional depth of the characters is flatter than an ironing board, sure, we can place him somewhere on the spectrum of morally gray characters. But in literally any other universe with an adult perspective and moral framework, he’d be nothing more than a mischievous puppy that trashed the house once, got punished for it, and never peed inside again.

He’s not even a bad guy—he’s just an insufferable bastard with psychological issues who made bad choices as a kid and then regretted them, all while keeping his bad temper. Honestly, I wish he had been more of a bastard. I would’ve thoroughly enjoyed it if he had let the dementors kill Sirius or poisoned one of Remus’ wolfsbane potions. And even if he had done that, I wouldn’t have thought it was that bad because, frankly, if you take revenge on your bullies, well… there’s a certain— I don’t know— a level of understanding to that.

But anyway, what exactly did he do that was so terrible? Objectively, what did he do that was so bad? We spend our lives fangirling over and worshipping characters who have committed mass genocides, killed children, left kids quadriplegic, burned down entire cities, and are complete psychopaths—yet suddenly, we get all moralistic over a character who followed a shitty cult when he was 17 or 18 and was later just a rude bastard to a handful of annoying kids? Seriously? What world do these people live in? Your upstairs neighbor is probably a worse person than he ever was.
