IKR I've Been Trying To Come Up With A Title For My Book For 5 MONTHS And I Still Have Absolutely No

league of villains but it’s just the goth friend group always spotted at the local mall

"awn this would be so cute if I wasn't possessed" Me to any childhood photo my mother ever took of me

Today's children don't know what it was like when half of your photographs would turn out with demonically glowing red eyes.

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Not all Men are evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

“valgrace” is cool but have you considered firefly as a ship name

The way I’m so insanely attracted to Brandon though like 🥵

the illusion of free will

people say shigaraki is responsible for the deaths he caused, and while i don’t completely deny that, it’s way more complicated than just “free will.” what people miss is that he was groomed from the age of five, when he was at his most vulnerable until he finally broke free from afo’s grasp. afo deliberately took him in at a point where he was completely dependent on others for guidance, then shaped him into the perfect successor.

to shigaraki, his master wasn’t just a villain, he was his savior, the only one who “understood” him, the only one who gave him a sense of purpose after the world abandoned him. and that’s exactly how manipulation works. afo didn’t just take him in, he rewired his entire mind, fed him lies, reinforced his hatred, and conditioned him to believe that destruction was his only salvation. shigaraki never had a chance to form his own worldview because afo made sure to mold it for him.

look at shigaraki’s reaction when he was separated from afo, it wasn’t just anger, it was pure desperation. that’s the reaction of someone who has been so deeply conditioned that he doesn’t know how to function outside of his abuser’s influence. shigaraki was entirely dependent on afo, and when you’re raised under constant manipulation, you don’t suddenly “wake up” and realize you’ve been controlled your whole life.

it doesn’t work that way. when he saw all might trying to save bakugo while attacking the league, he felt betrayed by the world all over again. to him, it was proof that heroes will never save people like him. but that idea wasn’t his, it was something afo planted in his mind for years, reinforcing it over and over until shigaraki believed it as an absolute truth. so when afo was no longer there, what was left? nothing but the doctrine his master forced onto him. if he wasn’t groomed, if he wasn’t brainwashed into thinking destruction was his only option, then he would have taken another path. but that was never an option for him because he never had the freedom to choose in the first place. as afo himself admitted, shigaraki never had free will. none of his choices were ever his own.

compare this to dabi and toga. they were abused, but they never had an outside force controlling them like afo did with shigaraki. they became villains on their own terms, dabi out of revenge, toga out of rejection from society. but shigaraki? his entire ideology was forced onto him. if afo had gotten to shoto instead, then shoto would have ended up just like shigaraki.

and here’s the worst part; nobody in the story even questions it. if horikoshi wanted us to humanize the villains, then he should have given them a humanizing death, something that forced people to acknowledge what they went through and how they ended up like this. but instead, nobody even stops to ask why afo had to groom a child into being his successor. nobody wonders why japan’s greatest villain was so reliant on manipulating a mentally ill, traumatized young man into doing his bidding. they just see shigaraki as a monster.

shigaraki never had a choice, but the world acts like he did.

the first one shoot me in the head and kept shooting

the first time i wrote a poem that gutted me, the killer lines were:

who am i, when i lose all the things that make me me?

just a body?

i thought i was supposed to be a deity.

i just did it again.

we're both better off now,

but i don't want "better";

i want you.

Ohhh i forgot abt this! Man, LoL playres are something else and poor Tenko was certainly way too young to be around those weirdos

And i don't like this fact but he probably was also pretty fucking weird about all sort of things like women and lgbt people cause we know how those guys are and how they talk abt those stuff

I swear this only gets sadder, that poor boy went throught Hell and back during all his life and the fact this isn't so discussed kills me

Tenko being alone sucks

Tenko spent most of his life in isolation without anyone to be affectionate towards and feel affection from. He was five when he got took in by afo and twenty/twenty one when he got the league together. THATS STILL AROUND FIFTEEN YEARS OF BEING ALONE; and for what?!? Being a puppet for afo? Kill me. The majority of his life was probably spent silently longing for something, someone, because that’s what humans do!!!! They crave connection, communication, a community. He got none of that until he was already an adult, skipping his childhood, a very important part for human development. I couldn’t imagine ANYONE who would spent at least one year mostly alone and turn out fine. I know this is talked about a lot already but I want to keep talking about it. no friends or family to simply be around, no one to teach him about the simple things of life, he had to go through so many phases alone; and sure maybe he had an online friend or two, but there’s only so much closure you can get through a screen. how many times do you think this boy has been told ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m proud of you’ GENUINELY. This hits a little too close to home for me and I just wanted to yap about it. I’d love to hear any other thoughts as well :)!
