i understand that it’s a headcanon but…just because bakugou is a combative person doesn’t mean he’s aggressive in every single way he expresses emotion.
when someone shows their capability, he treats them with respect.
when he admires someone, he treats them with respect.
when he wants to give genuine advice, he does it with respect. no cursing whatsoever.
he adds the “it pisses me off” at the end, sure. but that’s also another genuine statement. deku making those mistakes does piss him off, so he gives him advice because of it.
the idea that bakugou would try to hide his respect, admiration, or love for someone under the guise of aggressive behavior is ridiculous. he’s an honest person. people should treat him like it.
I’ve been waiting for this scene to come up in the anime so people would stop shitting on Bakugou. I loved this baby boy from the beginning and hope this was the route his character was going in
One of my new favorite things is finding images from the Jurassic Park franchise that show the dinosaurs being treated like actual actors. So here are a few of my faves, enjoy^^
Claire being directed by Steven Spielberg
Rexy apparently being calmed or coached by Stan Winston
The Spinosaurus getting a stern look from Mr. Winston. Looks like she’s complaining about the work schedule to me XD
Joe Johnston having a bit of a meeting with cast and crew^^
Touching up a Raptors makeup, lol.
Vincent D'Onofrio schmoozing with Delta between scenes XD
And one of my all time favorites, the hapless goat that Rexy gobbles up being given last minute acting tips XD
It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.
So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.
What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.
In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.
This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.
