[text] @goddess of death

[ Following this exchange, the goddess posts this on the network: ]

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!

[Something that's fairly easy to do, haha...]

maybe!

oh oh I got another one for ya! "in silence, deep wisdom resides"

[It's not his fault people are stupid!]

this is coming from a guy who doesn't know when to shut his mouth.

[It does make one wonder if maybe his tolerance for bullshit is just low...]

ouch! called out!!

you know how to hit a guy where it hurts. no wonder you made Eresh cry

[Whose tolerance for bullshit should be high?! IT'S BULLSHIT!!]

why's it MY fault she's crying?! she started this!

[maturity]

[Given everything they're dealing with - kaiju, vampires, mutations - one would think a high tolerance for bs is a requirement.]

keep it up and I'm shoving you both into one of these

[attachment.jpg

The infamous "Our Get Along Shirt."]

[There's a difference between monster bs and ally/personal bs. This falls into the latter. Since he can easily REMOVE the former version of bs.]

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!

[namely, how's this HIS fault]

[True. LILITH tends to frown upon them beating the crap out of each other, unless it's for team-building exercises, apparently.]

because most likely this is exactly what happened: you and her were talking and you got all shouty!

[Honestly, if it weren't text, he'd be wondering how Katsuki hadn't lost his voice...]

[Ironic, isn't it. Though training and sparring comes with the idea there's a level of restraint, where bar-room brawls are usually... not.]

what, you want me to smile and thank her for a fucking insult?

[A lifetime of vocal cord training and very good genes from his mom.]

[Nobody said it made perfect sense. Which is a good thing, since it doesn't.]

no, I want you to take a deep breath and remember that she, like all of us, are capable of making mistakes. live and let live, y'know?

you guys were talking about reading, yeah? that means she's taken an interest in you and probably wants to be friends

[Certainly out of everyone here, Eresh has no ulterior motives.]

i'm not bailing her out or apologizing for anything.

tch, shit way of showing it.

she's really spontaneous for a death god.

fair enough. just giving her another chance is enough. it's fine to just chalk it up to a clash of personalities and leave it at that

says the guy who yells even at the people he cares about, heh

just goes to show you that you can't judge based on first impressions

[He'd be pointedly staring if this were in person.]

[Yeah about that first impression thing.]

this isn't the first time i've talked with her, Bakami.

shut up. i wouldn't yell if they didn't do stupid shit deserving it.

[Yes he would.]

so, what're you gonna do, then? stay pissed at her? seems like a waste of energy to me

huh. I'll hold you to that, then

[In other words, if he sees him spouting off over innocent stuff, he's calling him out on it.]

i wasn't even pissed at her when she came into the library!

[It takes something big to get him to hold a grudge. Even if some of them can be childish.]

haa? what the hell are you thinking?

so all's forgiven, then?

[He's gonna get those two to proverbially kiss and make up! New goal for the month!]

nothing worth worrying your pretty little head over~

she got her ass handed to her enough on here.

[He might pick at her about this occasionally going forward, but nothing more than childish bullying over the sleight.]

who the hell's ever believed you when you say that?

glad to hear you're not gonna lay into her. cuz you're right about it not going her way

[A gentle reminder of her misstep might be a good thing when she gets a little self-righteous.]

eh, probably nobody, if I'm being honest. but I always wanted to say that, hehe

[He already did. It's why Yato responded, right?]

so long as she learns from it.

[Going through this humiliation only to make the same mistake again in the future would solidify her as pathetic in Katsuki's opinion.]

if you're being honest.

[Well, worse than that. One little blow up isn't too bad for Katsuki.]

I think she will. she's not me, after all

[Acknowledgement that he's a dumbass? Yup. Checks out.]

or I could be being all mysterious and secretive~ that's godly, right?

[He'll still try to kick her ass during training if they ever combat together.]

sounds like she's done this before to other people.

[Not the network thing, but bitched at them for their improper attitude and such.]

you act like an idiot when you try to be sneaky.

[At least that would be a fair fight; Eresh isn't helpless, after all.]

huh, really? then maybe she didn't get schooled properly that time if she thought doing it again was a good idea. hopefully she's learned from this, though

[Considering Yato's taking lessons from her he doesn't see her insistence on etiquette as such a bad thing...]

oh really? I'm that transparent, huh? ...guess that's something I need to work on

[He expects that. Besides, he likes testing people's powers.]

she better. or she's gonna get wrecked again.

[Bakugo's never been fond of people trying to tell him what to do.]

what kind of stealth missions have you been on?

[Maybe that's how they need to bond: through fighting. I mean, it could work!]

I'm sure it'll sink in eventually...

[Gods can be slow learners sometimes, unfortunately.]

Hiyori and I helped out infiltrating some of the black market businesses a while back. ...or well, we tried to, but they kinda caught wind of us and attempted to kidnap her.

[They went from being the hunters to the hunted real quick, sadly.]

[Look, he's already challenging her to a fight in the same breath as he's inviting her to dinner (the latter was Denji's wish) so that's gonna happen.]

Are all gods this fucking stubborn?

[Look who's talking, Mr Great Explosions Murder GOD Dynamight.]

HA! Bet one of you stepped in a bucket or some lame crap like that.

[Why's he not surprised?]

[He'll be rooting for your developing friendship with her, Katsuki...!]

pretty much. comes with the territory of being a deity on top of long-lived

[Isn't their mutual stubbornness one of the reasons they get along?]

tch! did not! we just got made, that's all...

[He would've preferred the bucket routine if it meant being the one being targeted instead of Hiyori, honestly.]
