GOD, honestly, i mean, it's LESS effective on the monsters so really it'd just prove they're not assimilated if he's wrong, it's okay to get a lil toasty!!!
honestly mostly he's going to be d y i n g of the heat bc i decided that he is getting all his fire powers before he actually gets the full tolerance/resistance to the heat so catch souda periodically faceplanting in the snow
i think that like, actually using the firebreath instead of letting it "build up" will help his heat tolerance so if he actually like, does get to help out and burn some guys, it'll be good for him
souda valuing himself because of his own opinions of himself rather than desperately living for the approval of others to feel important??????????? could it truly be
Roo told me that like, people dont get motion sickness from their own locomotion because there's not an imbalance in the inner ear with that except more accurately and intelligently than i said it SO
but i think he'll get so distracted by the liberation that comes with being able to transport himself like that, as fast as a vehicle and above everything that he'll like, push past it. but regardless i think it's still gonna be 'only when he needs to'
me thinking about how good it would be if komaeda got something that flies because, he will not take shared transportation cause he's too traumatized by all the times that his luck has literally crashed planes and killed everyone but himself
the reality is that no matter where he is on the timeline souda is so desperate for validation he is just as susceptible as komaeda is to despair but he doesn't see it because class training
bakugou punched him in the face and souda blipped from [yes this is what i deserve] to WAIT THE FUCK A MINUTE I DON'T??? ACTUALLY??? WHY DID YOU HIT ME??
he's definitely like. fixed enough to pull himself back out of it but i want him to be affected by the fact that despair isn't something that he can just like. avoid. and get away from. the trauma is always gonna Be there
he's just honestly gotten lucky in that like... post-simulation AND remembering that he's a mass murderer, he's a LOT more desensitized than he was in the simulation
cos it's like, actually the rest of htese rich kids being shitty at all to Souda makes tons of sense to him, he is. a blue collar worker. he does the Dirty Jobs
maybe they weren't so good at it before but if they take it apart and put it back together and try it again... maybe they can all live hopefully together
Komaeda: I will Just Walk
ko: so i had this idea
souda: suddenly i'm gelling a little with ko
Komaeda, thinking about possibly divulging his trauma: ....
Ko: I just think they're Neat
Souda: wow?? right??? thank you???
Ko: omg Souda that's so cool!!
Souda:
silenceeven before they were really friends they were classmates
which means it's kind of their job to watch after each other
oh noimpending doom
