Kaminari Denki is supposed to be the comic relief. He’s there for his friends to laugh with (but mostly at), to crack jokes, to be the punchline of everyone else's version of them, and he used to think he was fine with that.
These days, Denki finds himself hating the jokes. He’ll say something self-deprecating to make others laugh after training, once he comes back from what his friends call his “Whey Mode.” And he begins to realize maybe they’re not jokes anymore.
Is he really that stupid? Do people genuinely think this poorly of his intelligence? Can’t they see that this is how he has to train, that he can’t improve at all without going past his limits?
aka, I project onto Denki, give him ADHD, self-esteem issues, and then heal him along the way
(shoutout to my friend Zadie for betaing :DD!!)
