storybookprincess:

i’m sitting here trying to figure out an explanation for todoroki divulging all of his trauma, all of his deepest secrets, his whole goddamn tragic backstory to midoriya with literally no prompting whatsoever??????

did they ever actually have a conversation before todoroki just revealed his entire life story??  genuinely the only explanation i can come up w is that todoroki went “wow, midoriya seems like such a kind & friendly person.  i’d like to get to know him.” except our boy has 0 social skills & has probably never had a friend before so he goes “friends tell each other secrets, right?  vulnerability is the key to intimacy, right?” but he is so goddamn clueless that he doesn’t understand that you can do that incrementally so he just……. spills his whole tragic backstory in one go.

there are only two other explanations i’ve come up w. 1 – todoroki has just been looking for someone to tell this to for years & midoriya just has one of those faces that makes you want to spill your darkest secrets so he just locks on to him and goes for it.  and, of course, explanation 2, which is simply “dumb and gay”
