Summary:

“A great Hero will rise in these lands; it is told. You will guide the Once and Forever King to his glory and bring everlasting peace to the realm.” said the dragon—Kudo.

Izuku was perplexed. “You must be talking about someone else. And the Once and Forever King?” who…?

It could only be…

Izuku said, “Yagi.”

Kudo, at the same time—“Katsuki.”

Izuku felt his eyes bulge. Suspended in disbelief, he wanted to laugh. In fact, Izuku couldn’t help but think that this prophecy sounded like complete and utter bullshit.

Or, when Izuku, the lonely boy from the edge of nowhere, is summoned to the capital, his world is upended. His mission? Protect the brash, foul-mouthed prince at all costs, for he is the Hero who will wake the realm from her slumber… eventually.

But to succeed Izuku must hide that he has magic, unless he wanted to end up on the pyre by morn.

An adaptation of Arthurian myths and legends.

okay mom we get it stop nagging

I cried reading this. Dude, even Uraraka dehumanized Izuku and dismissed his safety and well-being over the war, I can understand but that doesn't make it hurt less.

Bakugou slowly takes the role of Izuku's protector and I love to see it.

During the Tartarus escapees arc, Izuku has been dehumanized so much, it's insane. When I say dehumanized, I'm talking about how many people treat him like the vessel of One for All and not like a 16yo boy or a human being with feelings anymore.

"Nomu", "Number nine"

Meanwhile, Bakugou calls him by his name..

"You're the key to all of this. We can't have you dying on us."

like "If you die it's gonna be bad bc nobody can fight AFO anymore" and not "you don't deserve to die plz take care"

"please let him rest so he can fight properly"

and not "because he suffers so much and deserves rest"

I could make a long list of that but my point is, the more we go into the story and the more people prioritize saving the world over Izuku's well being, treating him like a robot to repair like they're just willing to sacrifice Izuku ('s mental health/life) and bakugou is having none of it.

Ever since he learned about OFA and AFO, he started to help Izuku training out of worry.

While the others want Izuku to be stronger so he can beat AFO, bakugou wants him to be stronger so he can survive. He's worried about losing izuku the most. As simple as that. A lot care about Izuku as well of course, but most still think beating AFO is more important than giving a kid a healthy happy long life.

Bakugou totally noticed it and it makes him mad. He yelled at All Might, his idol and the man he respect the most, for hiding something about the fourth user to Izuku when Bakugou knew secrets might be harmful to Izuku physically or psychologically since even though everyone noticed that Izuku was mentally drowning under pressure, they didn't really do anything worth noting to support him (until class 1A brought him back to UA)

Bakugou never mentioned AFO when he talked about bringing Izuku back because it's not his priority at all.

He's literally just dead worried for his friend.

Please, the first thing he asked him after being separated for weeks, with a war and a coma in between, was if Izuku was able to smile.

He genuinely cares so much about Izuku's safety and mental health it makes me want to cry. Bakugou went from being the boy's bully to his legit protector, so dare tell me otherwise.

During the battle with Shigaraki, he constantly had his eyes fixed on Izuku to be sure he wouldn't do anything risky and the moment Izuku really left his side to attack, Bakugou was pissed.

and he ended up saving Izuku, almost sacrificing for him. Not for a strategic purpose to keep OFA. His body literally moved on its own and all he could think about was everything Izuku and him went through. He wanted to save his childhood friend.

Honestly at this point I can confidently say that if Deku's death was the only solution to defeat/kill AFO then bakugou would prefer not to win. The guy who's obsessed with victory would totally prefer to lose than to have Izuku killed, that's a fact.

Now despite the apology, I dont think Izuku really understands how dedicated Bakugou is to protect him yet. I can't wait to see how their relationship will evolve.

Of course Bakugou isn't the only one who cares more about Izuku's life than OFA (class 1A, All Might, etc) but Bakugou's character development still has me crying.

One thing I've learnt about designing - like character design for example - is to trust the process, trust the instinct and to let some time pass before reviewing it. That means for one, when I'm starting and don't have the feeling of getting anywhere, to not be pessimistic but simply try out more ideas! A good design isn't something that comes from that one extraordinary spark of creativity, it comes from going through a long process of experiments and singling out those ideas, that fit best! And also- it has to feel right for me. I can come up with something that looks good but still doesn't feel exactly right, exactly fitting...but especially for a character, I will know once I've found something that works. I would like to call this instinct, but it's probably just an impression of an aesthetic that looks nice and works storytelling-wise. And most important though! Let some time pass before reviewing it and working on your designs some more. On the next day I will often find that there's an aspect I forgot to work out, or that I want to stress more, or I might have a clearer head to understand what might not yet be working.

This is enough doodles for an art dump right

Here is one, the name of the girl is Chloe and this fanfic is one of my favorites and the most sweet.

I like the headcanon that 2012! Leonardo is good with children being that he is the older brother of the turtles and also that canonically he is sweet with Mickey (consoling him, letting him hug him, take care of him or laughing at his jokes).

The dudes having teatime!!
