Greetings everyone (edit: except Silco).

I come to ask for your shared wisdom following a disagreement I have had with one of our peers, Bakugō Katsuki. I am of the opinion that his unusual vocabulary, his aggressive predisposition and his unstable temper are a detriment to his social life. I have personally experienced difficulties communicating properly with him, seeing how all conversations quickly devolve into a purposeless rain of insulting words before any progress can be made.

When I said as much, he suggested the problem comes from myself. He accuses me of taking his words too literally and of behaving in too much of a maternal manner towards him. I admit it is a possibility we simply don't see eye to eye - however, I doubt his temper, poor choice of words and aggressiveness are limited to our interactions.

This is why I am asking for your wisdom and opinion, especially those familiar with Bakugo to - hopefully - help him see reason.

Thank you kindly!

-- Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr

He deserves better?
You've actually met him, haven't you? The boy is insufferable.
Focus your efforts on your own well being, you'll be better off.

[queenofkur]

he may be so,
but he has a good heart
and if put on the right path,
he may have a bright future ahead of him!

[harboredfeelings]

He's an Everlight, Ereshkigal-chan.
His future is in a forgotten grave after sacrificing himself for some idiotic cause.
Don't waste your effort on him, he won't thank you for it.

[queenofkur]

i don't care
it's not about being thanked
it's about helping a young life find happiness
it is true he will die
and i would have his death come after a happy life!

[harboredfeelings]

You're supposed to be a death goddess aren't you?
You should know better, people like that die early and violently for some misguided cause.

But if he gives you any real trouble let me know, alright?

[ Gasp. Kaga's actually trying to be nice, in her own way. ]

[queenofkur]

i know
but i dont like it
death should come to all,
but as conclusion to a well lived life
not prematurely

[ She's not the most conventional goddess of death, okay. ]

thank you, this is kind of you

[harboredfeelings]

Maybe. But you're talking about people who have more heroic inclination than sense.
You can't save all of them.

[ Erehskigal may not be the most conventional goddess of death but this conversation is going miles towards making Kaga respect her. Even if she fundamentally disagrees, Ereshkigal's heart is in the right place and her determination is admirable. ]

Don't mention it. It's not entirely selfless on my part.
I'd love an excuse to shut that yapping dog up.

[queenofkur]

that's true, i can't
i won't even try, it's futile
but he's here and listening, so i thought...

[ Clearly she thought wrong. Sniff. ]

[harboredfeelings]

There's plenty of people out there who'll actually accept the help. Focus on them.
Your heart's in the right place, just being applied to the wrong person.

[queenofkur]

maybe...
its hard for me to accept,
but you may be right
