So I Saw Some Posts About How Izuku Too Easily Overcome His Quirklessness After Receiving Ofa, Right?
so i saw some posts about how izuku too easily overcome his quirklessness after receiving ofa, right? mostly people in and under those posts say that it's a shame that we don't see the difficulties of re-thinking his identity and this situation is kinda unrealistic. well i can understand the upsetting feeling of not receiving an interesting point of character's self-discovering and stuff but i have a thing to say about how this thing will make sense (possibly).
so let's make an assumption that quirklessness in the world of bnha is some kind of disability. as far as i know we don't have clear statement in canon but it make sense, right? like if you search the word "disability" you will find something along the lines "the experience of any condition that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain activities or have equitable access within a given society". sooo in REAL world quirklessness isn't a disability because... well non of us here superpower, right? BUT on bnha world quirks are seen as an extension of human being like leg or hand. so it will be logical to assume that person without quirk can't be seen as fully capable as quirked one within society.
let's not bring the paranormal liberation front stuff because it's a topic for different post and I'm already getting far from point of this one.
so izuku is disabled in the beginning of the story, yeah? then why the hell he overcome his disability with a simple snap of fingers and why did it make sense?
now i will be coming from my perspective. I'm disabled and was like this for good chank of my life. and what usually come with it? disability becomes a part of person's identity. not only for people around disabled person but for them too.
now my rambling make even less sense but wait I'm getting to the point.
from interaction between izuku and bakugo + tone of voice of izuku's teacher in aldera we know that deku suffered from bulling BECAUSE of quirklessness. moreover when izuku asked all might can he become a hero, all might didn't ask him about his skills or why he feel a need to be a hero, no. all might just write him off solidly because of izuku's quirklessness and let me be honest: i believe that that wasn't the first time deku was given such "reality check".
can you smell that? oh yeah the good old ✨trauma✨
why did i wrote that i'll view this situation from perspective of my personal experience? well, i was bullied because of my disability back in school and guess what? most of the adults in my life didn't give me a chance to prove myself before they decide that I'm useless.
and that's the main reason why my disability become the thing that I'm activity trying to hide and don't let this abomination become a part of what make me who am i now.
can you see where I'm getting? izuku viewed his quirklessness as a thing that made his life harder and what made other people see him less of a human. so when The Miracle happened izuku just signed with relief and went ahead leaving behind the thing that made him miserable.
the last part of this ungodly long post: why do i believe that izuku doesn't let quirklessness become part of his identity and rather ignored it? well this is the part where i stop pretending that i have some Absolutely Logical Conclusions and become delusional. so we all remember that for the good part of plot izuku keep telling that he's gonna be hero like all might. well make sense because of ofa and all this razzle and dazzle with all might's successor, right? BUT this also can be applied to quirkless izuku. he WANTED and WAS GOING to become hero like all might, and i see it as if he didn't come in terms with his inability to become Just Like All Might. according to this statement izuku was ignoring differences between him and other (quirked) people. this make me believe that deep down he refuse to accept disability as part (or ex-part according to canon events) of himself.
is it healthy? no.
does izuku have a healthy image of himself? probably not.
did i just come up with unshaped pile of thoughts at night before bed and decide to vomit it straight into the internet? yes, i did.

here's the thing about my perspective of bakugou. i don't think that he has overly drastic character growth or doesn't deserve izuku's forgiveness. like he's still a 15 y. o. boy who doesn't have good connections to his emotions and insecurities.
tbh i feel he and izuku have the same amount of self-doubt but they express it differently.
i personally do not like bakugou that much because he just doesn't fall to the category of my type of character but in the same time i don't like when people portray him as overly violent destined-to-become-villain person.
i see the same pattern with izuku. yk media where he's portrayed as nice sweet guy who can't possibly hurt anyone. like yeah i get where it comes from but let's not forget how absolutely feral 100% insane he can be.
let's not forget about bakugou who in the end of the day is just a kid with pockets full of insecurities, self-doubt and mistakes.
katsuki and izuku come from the same place but in a different way.
so i do not like bakugou
but i can sympathize with him
bakugou shows his support by not showing his support
okay real question here: does aizawa clean his clothes from cat's fur or does he just leave it there because he doesn't care?
aizawa: english makes no sense
yamada: yeah? and why is that?
aizawa: look it's 'i dance' right?
yamada: yeah..?
aizawa: and 'you dance'
yamada: right?
aizawa, gesturing to dabbing shirakumo: then why the hell HE dances!? IS HE DANCING MORE THEN ME!?
you know i really appreciate fics in which author explores how much teachers and society fucked up bakugou by not correcting his behavior and putting a lot of pressure to become the best hero. ESPECIALLY if in the process these issues get addressed and fixed not leaving bakugou as villain or ende-whore number two.
but fics in which izuku goes absolutely feral full-on "YOU'RE TALKING SHIT ABOUT ME EXPLOSION BITCH!?" and kicks kacchan's ass hold a special place in my heart.
