Sometimes I see fanart of AUs in which Izuku had an actual childhood friend … and it makes me sad cuz when I think about it, he never had a real friend before he met Iida and Uraraka. The only one who is credited as his “childhood friend” is the guy who, you know, has an explosion quirk and led the gang of bullies that abused Izuku for at least ten years of his life… -.-

For real though like imagine if he had a proper rival that was friends with him and encouraged healthy, friendly competition, pushing each other to grow and get better. Even if this hypothetical friend had some issues, but like… well-written ones that don’t make them irredeemable like bakugo… that’d be fine and interesting to see them work through.

Instead, we get bakugo, the static character that routinely insults and attacks Izuku and anyone nice to him, and is never called out by the others for it, never treated by the narrative like it’s a bad thing, never faces any consequences, and the fandom adores him and apparently they read fanfic and consider it canon, bc they claim he has grown as a character, but like… growth means change. He hasn’t changed since chapter/episode fucking one.
