Todoroki thought he hated physical contact until he got a deku™
hug and now he’s always got his head on midoriya’s shoulder or lap demanding midoriya play with his hair
Todoroki is the clingy one, he’s always either holding midoriya’s hand or onto the hem of his shirt
THAT BEING SAID todoroki isolates himself at times and deku knows exactly when todoroki needs some time alone or needs some attention
deku always has questions about todoroki’s quirk and todoroki will always answer them seriously, no matter what time it is (deku @ 3am: todoroki-kun do you get brainfreeze / todoroki, half asleep: yeah, my brain freezes things i guess)
they’re a pair that can sit together in silence perfectly comfortably
todoroki: i dont know i dont like dogs that much/ deku: really? i love dogs!/ todoroki: … / todoroki: i love dogs
that post that’s like A: what’s your favourite colour / B: guess / A: hmm, yellow! and A wasn’t right but B said yes anyway bc B didn’t have a favourite until A said yellow bc that’s tddk
deku mentions he likes a specific candy he’s not been able to find in passing, rich boy todoroki “stumbles upon” 10 boxes of them 3 weeks later
todoroki: im tired../ deku: want me to carry you? / todoroki: marry me
What she means: I hate how a show as robust and compelling and fascinating as Boku No Hero Academia gleefully includes invasive, aggressive, unapologetic sexual perversion and dresses it up in a weak and unmasculine hat so that it seems harmless and forgivable. By making Mineta small and easy to shut-down, his non-consensual harassment of his classmates is allowed to be presented as funny, harmless, and almost charming since it is so apparent Mineta stands no chance of wooing them. All these scenes do is give the audience reason–and worse permission–to sexually objectify the young girls through Mineta’s eyes in a way that’s presented as innocuous. The narrative is happy to lampshade the fact that Mineta’s harassment is bad, and yet chooses to include it anyway, for no other reason than as a wink and a nudge to the audience saying “hey arent these 15 year old girls sexy?” So long as the audience understands Mineta is being “gross” and enjoys seeing him shut-down, then they are free to enjoy his constant invasive harassment with a clear conscience. This tactic is insidious, because it attempts to make itself clownish, harmless, and therefore inoffensive, while perpetuating sexism far more harmful than it’s willing to acknowledge. And I hate the purple grape fucker as a person too.
