Bakugou and Uraraka. Surprising foils. Narrative rivals for Midoriya’s attention. And in the Joint Training arc, the difference between their abilities to engage, support, and stimulate Midoriya really come to a head. In an arc allegedly all about the Midoraka relationship (they’re on the same team and all), looking beneath the surface helps reveal just why so many fans feel that Bakugou is Midoriya’s soulmate and true life partner - or at least that Uraraka may not be the right partner for him. This is indeed the part of the story where a few troubling underlying aspects of Midoriya and Uraraka’s dynamic start to become obvious, especially when contrasted against Deku’s dynamic with Kacchan. Spoilers through 217.
Let’s get close-reading:

[Bakusquad sleepover]
Katsuki: I guess what I mean is, I think I might be in love with Deku-
Mina: "guess"
Kaminari: "think"
Kirishima: "might"
I’ve said this before somewhere, but I’ve always found it peculiar how in this scene, Bakugou is watching All Might while Deku is just watching Bakugou. It has always been eyes on Bakugou, no matter what. Even with his passion and admiration for All Might, he looked at Bakugou like that.
He looked at Bakugou in the same way he looked at the greatest, the number 1 hero.
This isn’t the first example of this, either. All throughout their childhood, even in times when we can assume Bakugou was already being mean to him, he STILL looked at him like that. That admiration, passion, care and love…it never went away, no matter their circumstances.
That’s unconditional love.
Being able to see past the flaws and outward harshness of someone, being able to see all of the good sides of someone who would normally be hated based on how they treat people, defending them and believing in them, wanting what’s best for them; it’s nothing short of raw, unconditional love.
The same eyes, over and over again. Even when he was pushed down and forced to chase after Bakugou, he had that same look. A look so pure and filled with admiration and care, they’re feelings so strong that they never went away for a single second. Even as he aged, even in middle school when Bakugou treated him like utter garbage. He held out for the day they could stand on even ground, and then he was given OfA and obtained that chance.
Though obviously, Bakugou being the stubborn boy he is, still made it hard, but that didn’t stop Deku from hoping. Then we got KvD2 and Bakugou learning about OfA and coming face to face with himself and his flaws.
And then we get to see that the way Deku looked at him all their lives, never changed. Not for a single moment, that admiration never waivered.
Unconditional love, man. That look, that awe and amazement, he’s watched Bakugou with those eyes all of his life. It’s never changed, and I think that’s such an important aspect to remember when considering their relationship. Deku has always, ALWAYS had unconditional love and support for Bakugou, it has never been anything else. Even having the parts that Deku hates, Bakugou was always everything he aspired to be and the one person he wanted to always have in his life.
It’s just …always been Bakugou. Not All Might, not anyone else.
Bakugou.
Bakugou: Hey Deku, can you do the thing?
Midoriya: What thing?
Bakugou: The thing that never fails to make me happy.
Midoriya: Oh.
Midoriya: *Smiles*
Bakugou: Thank you.
For the palette challenge, number 61 with some soft BakuDeku? Maybe with some plants too?? :0
I decided to not do the plants, cuz I didn’t know how to fit them in lol. Also it was REALLY tricky finding a “soft” pose for them because I don’t think I am capable of drawing Bakugo in any type of soft interaction lol. Hope this is okay!
Requests are closed till next time thank yoooouuuu~
