you can take away the hc that touya survived from my cold dead hands
bc if he did die, that means he died in the most dehumanized way (strapped in some kind of tube, with a body falling apart, barely able to talk, while being stared at by his abuser) and i cannot live with that knowledge
even if i love touya and i want him to be happy, i would have honestly preferred to see him die during the final battle
This is Dabi's twitter fr 🤡
I had a dream about a silly filler/omake in the U.A Dorms where most of Class 1-A forgot to turn in a test for grading and they get the idea to sneak into Aizawa's room to slip their papers in the stack. Never mind he'd probably notice if the stack had suddenly tripled in size. Dream logic.
Anyway, the funny thing was that they snuck in while he was sleeping and he woke up immediately, but he was comfortable 'n basking in the sunlight so he faked sleep and just. quietly assessed their skills on stealth and infiltration. grumpy and a little bit amused. definitely didn't want to bother getting up. It was really funny, all the individual ways the students tried to be sneaky 'n using their quirks and such, when you knew Aizawa was already wide awake and silently grading judging them.
Maybe that dream would be funny Dadzawa fic material. Who knows?
aizawa fav panels sketch
consider: he doesn’t care and just calls him kacchan even during interviews to the point some people think ‘kacchan’ is bakugou’s hero name
and then there’s unofficial merch with just 💥KACCHAN💥 written in bold letters with the dynamight aesthetic
obviously kaminari sees it and buys one for each ex-class 1-A student (+ aizawa probably), and they organize themselves to wear them all at the next class reunion
bakugou hates this (he’s going to make shirt with the dumb nicknames he gives to his classmates [think a very cool shouto shirt except it’s written ❄️ICYHOT🔥 instead])
*wakes up in a cold sweat* WE NEVER GOT TO SEE/HEAR IZUKU CALL KATSUKI “GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT”
WE MAY NEVER KNOW IF HE USES HIS HERO NAME OR “KACCHAN” ON THE BATTLEFIELD
All I know is it’ll either be “Kacchan” or the full thing, never just “DynaMight”
Giran quit being a villain and decided to work at walmart in customer service.
you know what? i can see that lmaooo
just imagining him answering calls all day long about some washing machine or something and thinking that the villains weren't that bad now that he thinks about it
i can also see him do the scam calls that try to sell you anything and everything
i know what you’re going to say “but Atlas, it kinda feels bittersweet already”
yes, yes it is. Izuku and Uraraka failed at saving Shigaraki and Toga (even though it was their main goal), the Todorokis aren’t doing better either, and basically no one in the league has been saved (even though “saving people with a smile” was literally Izuku’s dream)
no need to scroll for too long to see people complaining about the ending. i guess the only ones who’ve truly won are the bkdk stans.
[here i’m basing that ‘bittersweet’ feeling on the fact that the main goals haven’t exactly been accomplished + my own feelings tbh]
now, how do we make it better without changing it too much?
the main issue i personally have with the ending is that it’s trying so hard to be a happy ending when, as previously said, it feels bittersweet
and that’s where my main point is: in my opinion, the ending would have been better if it had been an assumed bittersweet ending
lets say we keep it all the same: Shigaraki, Kurogiri and Toga die, Touya is in the hospital, Spinner and Compress are in jail. so the heroes won but Izuku, Ochaco and Shouto feel like they’ve lost.
we had a conversation between Izuku and Ochaco, i wish we had heard more of Shouto’s feelings in the epilogue (it feels like Endeavor stole the spotlight in Shouto’s story but that’s a whole other subject)
what would’ve been great is a conversation between those threes (and maybe Bakugou too) and the teachers/pro heroes.
war heroes or not, they were just kids. and i think that the adults could (and should) help them deal with these feelings, especially eraserhead and present mix (that way the whole shirakumo/oboro plot gets a proper conclusion too)
that wouldn’t have been the best obviously. but it could’ve been a good start for the students to say: we failed, but we’re going to honor their memory by preventing this from happening again.
and then comes the time skip, in which we put more focus on the new generation of heroes doing more and really make a change. in canon, we know Ochaco and Shouji are working on it, i think it could’ve been more though. one example that comes to mind is the heroes ranking. giving more rewards to make sure no one else turns like endeavor feels weird. heroes aren't supposed to behave like toddlers???
the whole "we failed this time but we'll keep working to make the world a better place" is interesting imo, but it would have been accepted by the fandom if it had happened with another villain.
what i'm trying to say is: if izuku had failed to save another vilain in the middle of the story but had used this experience to do better with shigaraki, it would have been interesting. but here, it just feels like a failure with an epilogue to create an illusion of a happy ending.
More JokePress for you guysss
Give yourself kindness when things are a mess! Whether it's physically in your space, or more abstractly in your life, we all need time to sort things out and get the right processes in place.

OMG YES!
i’ve been thinking about this too
honestly, edgeshot should’ve died
would have bakugou blamed himself? yeah probably. but the sacrifice would have been more impactful.
the aftermath doesn’t match with how the arc felt. in a way, i expected more. remember the theories saying kirishima would die? if i’m not mistaken, the ones who got hurt the most are bakugou (he died but got brought back to life), izuku (but eri helped him), and ochaco (but she got helped quickly enough to not get any damage)
i also thought all might wouldn’t make it ngl. it’s been implied since the beginning that his injuries were severe and that he would end up dying if he kept being reckless. but i guess the power of friendship saved him idk
on one hand you have gege (the author of jjk) being criticized bc he get rid of too many characters, and on the other hand you have horikoshi who keep too many
and to focus back on the league, shigaraki says he “destroyed till the very end” but the only things which have been explicitly destroyed are 1) the cities and civilians who have been killed but there’s not much focus on them tbh and 2) the league. the only ones alive at the end are compress and spinner, and they’re most likely both in jail (perhaps dabi is still alive but it’s just a theory (a game theory) so i’m not counting him)
this is just me ranting after reading many people say that the lov deserved a better ending (i agree with them don't worry). most of that stuff has already been said but i'm bored and need something to write
so why is everyone disappointed?
by definition, an antagonist is someone that goes against the main character(s) and a villain is someone who does immoral and/or illegal things (wow, shocking)
so by definition, the league of villains is aptly named. shigaraki and dabi are mass murderers, toga is a killer too, and even if the others are 'less dangerous' they're all guilty of terorism and kidnapping a teenager.
not nice, right? then why would anyone would want them to have a good ending?
long story short: horikoshi made the league too sympathetic and relatable
when horikoshi has decided to make them funny, he's decided to make them likeable. that's not enough though. you can find a fictional villain funny and not root for them (for some reason the examples that comes to my mind are the disney villains. captain hook is hilarious but no one wants him to win)
the cause of everyone's disappointment is the relatable part. everyone in the league has gone through stuff viewers can relate. touya, shigaraki and toga have been abused; twice has mental health issues (and stuggling to get a job is relatable too lmao); spinner has been discriminated against... you get the idea
and even without knowing their backstory, most of the league's fights can be considered noble: they want to change society and make the world a better place. to take a more precise example, the league kidnapped bakugou because they thought he had gone through similar struggle as them
(this is mr compress talking in chapter 85) as far as i've seen, most of the fandom either think bakugou being chained and muzzled at the end of the sport festival was just comic relief or agree that it was fucked up
so yeah, you can't put a group of people rejected by society, who just want a better world and expect people to not like them
and that's why their ending is disappointing (the rest contains heavy spoilers of the last few chapters of mha)
they're all either in jail or six feet underground. we rationally could understand it, they're all criminals/villains so of course they wouldn't get a happy ending and face consequences for their actions. the only one who could have gotten away with it is shigaraki because of all the grooming/brainwashing he's gone through and maybe toga because she's a child
but if you relate to a character, you want them to get a happy ending. of course fans would want dabi to be at peace, but instead he's forced to spend his last moments being stared at by his abuser). of course fans would want shigaraki to be free from afo (but instead his only freedom was death). of course fans would want toga to be understood and cared for (but she never had that opportunity)
that's not very 'save to win' out of you horikoshi
maybe it's just a shortcut made by the fandom, but the league are seen more as victims of abuse than actual criminals. i mean, what's more important in dabi's story? the fact that he burned himself alive after overworking himself to get his abusive father's attention, or the fact that he's burned people alive? probably both, but there's more focus on the first element.
and obviously we would want abuse victims to get a happy ending
basically, their ending isn't coherent with what we've seen of them, and that's why people are disappointed
btw, the same logic applies to stain. some fans agree with stain's reasoning bc he's fighting against corruption. of course, his logic is stupid and he's delusional but he's introduced not long after we've discovered shouto's past. you can't say "one of the most popular heroes is abusing + all he wants is to get n°1 to satisfy his own ego" and then follow with "see that guy fighting against corruption? he's bad, don't do that"
the clever way to make sure no one would agree with stain would have been to make the heroes fight against injustice with good methods. i live for the fanfics in which izuku takes down the hpsc
okay i'm done ranting thanks for reading
