[A lot of people think Bakugo is very emotionally mature. Responsible and intelligent, driven and focused. And then a lot of people think he's a real piece of shit too. Aggressive and arrogant, explosive and childish. Guess it depends on which side people want to focus on or if they want to take it all together. Bakugo could give a shit about any of them! He's who he is and if people have a problem with it, they can fuck off!
Doesn't mean he likes talking about things that piss him off. At least, not in the ways that suggest he's uncomfortable or has feelings about them. Like he did just now.
He expects Esikko to keep that promise, and really has no reason to think he wouldn't.]
Some people only care about a fucking number. As if that's supposed to be the goddamn cap.
[Granted, there are obvious reasons. Bakugo would never advocate a 12 year old drinking beer, and got pissed at his middle school friend for smoking around him (though that was only because he didn't want the smoke smell getting on his clothes and making other people think Bakugo was a disgusting smoker). Drinking, smoking, drugs, even driving, those thing are limited to certain ages for health reasons.
Sex... it's different in many countries. Some say its 16, some say it's 18, some say 21. Still stupid. If you can fight in a war at 16, you can fuck at 16!]
That's all? That's plenty adult, isn't it? Would they prefer you to be 40?
( Truly, people get married at far younger than that. His Father had already been working through an assortment of suitors from the southern Kingdoms for himself by that age, if not earlier, so... )
Well, whatever. If we're meant to judge anyone on impressions, isn't the soul a better starting point? So many people don't want to set aside the time to focus on that sort of thing, though. They'd much rather focus on things like hair color, or eyes, or the way you hold yourself over some sort of obnoxious dinner.
( Sorry, he got distracted by his own rants. But he circles back around: )
[He says "that's all" like it's not much, then turns around and says "plenty adult" like it's enough. MIXED SIGNALS, DAMMIT!!]
Probably 18 or 21. That's the 'legal age' for adults in a lot of countries.
[Most people in Bakugo's modern world don't get married that young. It's no longer acceptable, what with lifespans getting quite long compared to people dying when they were fucking 60.]
Yeah? And how often do you bare your soul on your first meeting? You present a complete persona.
[He won't go into Esikko dying his hair either; pink is better, for the record. Who's he to talk about the "soul" being a better starting point when he won't even show his natural hair color at his starting point?]
[look, someone said there are peacock plushies in the arcade crane machine and now he wants to nail those to the wall like some fucked-up voodoo spite.]
[not to mention trying to voodoo the fucking resort itself is a fool's gamble. especially after what esikko already experienced plucking at a few roots.]

Haa? Maybe you should shut your mouth.

Date: 2/6/25 06:16 (UTC)( Since he's two "adult check" passes up... He's teasing. Clearly. )
Anyway, I meant more in a magic sense, you know? Like how you can sense if there's something like a ghost?
But it was mostly a joke. I can't do that instantly, either. Not with souls, anyway, though I could look at it if you let me draw a spell out.
( He's currently brainstorming a nickname so he lets that last line go. For now. )

Date: 2/6/25 21:39 (UTC)[It's both teasing, jabbing, and actually curious. Because Esikko's reset his life plenty of times. So technically he's even older than that! HA!]
Who the hell do you think has that ability normally?
[Almost no one does! That's a horrible way to try and figure out if you like someone! Even if it was a joke.]
I don't need anyone looking at my soul.
[He doesn't even like people knowing he's got feelings.]
