Had Hozier Lived In Thedas, Perhaps He Would Have Written A Song For Blood Mages In Love, Beneath The

x

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

wait why wouldn't horikoshi make bakugou accountable for his mistakes? has he done something like that before?

I'm new in the fandom so I don't know much

Because Hori has been pushing this narrative that Bakugo has "changed" even though Bakugo has done nothing to prove it, other than being slightly more willing to work with others. And even then, only on his own terms.

Bakugo still treats Midoriya badly, still referring to him as "Deku", which is not a cutesy childhood nickname, but an insult which means "Useless" or "Limbless doll".

He only told All Might that he bullied Midoriya, without giving the full story, which means that nobody truly knows the extent of what he's done.

On top of that, Bakugo blames Midoriya's self-sacrificing tendencies on All Might, when it's actually his bullying that led Midoriya into believing that he's only useful when he's helping others, which is every kind of messed up when you look at the latest manga chapters.

And spoiler alert: Bakugo leading class 1-A to bring Midoriya back by force? Not good. I have a whole entire list of abusive traits that apply to Bakugo's treatment of Midoriya, if you want to check my anti bkdk tag, and Bakugo searching for Midoriya so he can keep tabs on his victim? Not good. Not to mention, Bakugo has the entire class (aka Midoriya's first real friends) backing him up, which is isolating,and manipulating Midoriya to come back where Bakugo can control and keep him under his thumb; yet again, more abuse tactics.

Hori has this whole "show-don't-tell" kind of thing with his narrative, and it pisses me off to no end, especially when it comes to abusers like Bakugo and Endeavor, who are made out to be somewhat sympathetic, and their "redemption arcs" seem to mainly focus on their own individual pain, rather than their victims.

Also, I want to add that Bakugo is Hori's favourite character, and for whatever reason, he keeps winning the popularity polls so Hori can't exactly give him actual development, or else that'd mean losing readers (honestly, it's sloppy writing at best).

I hope this cleared things up for you, Anon, and I'm sorry about the essay, but that is the reason why I believe that Hori is going to wimp out, and probably make Bakugo give some half-assed apology and then go right back to mistreating Midoriya. I don't really answer asks like this as much as I used to, so please nobody come to my inbox with anti bkg takes.

I think Lucanis is a man of actions, not words.

Lucanis has the opportunity to take care of someone for the first time (or for the first time in a long time).

He will…

Protect your sleep, no matter how short it is.

Not just cook food for you and other companions - make sure your plate is full and you eat enough.

Check that your wounds are healing. That his treatment helps.

Know that your armor is intact and your sword is always ready for a battle. But the best armor for you is Lucanis himself.

Believe that the people you travel with won't let you down when he's not around. He'll explain them in private how to best watch your back.

Try to make sure that you don’t stain your clothes with the blood of enemies. Your hands. It is easier for him to live with the understanding that only his hands are unclean.

Wish silently that where your foot steppes the ground is firm. That the sky above your head is bright.

He can't say that.

The most he can say at the beginning of journey is:

"I’ll protect you".

Need to understand that the promise of protection from him is something that you will carry through entire life.

But Lucanis has no idea that his greatest feat is just…

To live for his friends. To be alive for you.

P.S. After gathering all doodles in one post, I gotta say that I'm quite impressed with myself. Not for the quality of drawings necessarily, but for the fact that I actually finished the series, hell yeah.

I say sitting in my college shack my world crumbling around me haha

say it with me—

“someday i’m going to have the life i’ve always dreamed of and i won’t let self doubt stop me”

Something I love about M!iK and don't really see be often talked about is the morals of the story.

Shonen stories usually have to work under the same story restrictions of "power of friendship" and "we can accomplish anything by never giving up!", and while MIK certainly has that, I adore the way they twist it.

Yes, both tropes are present but taken to their absolute extreme. Power of friendship? Ok, here's a huge cast of characters who are all in some level Extremely Possesive of eachother. Never give up on your dreams? Alright, the cast are literal demons who feed on desire.

And the best part is that this is openly encouraged by the story. The story is saying "Yes, be selfish! Chase what or who you want without any shame! Take what you love and guard it ferociously because it's YOURS and no one is allowed to harm it."

Iruma's character growth is not connected to "how much more powerful can he get?" Or "how much better of a person can he be?". He's already powerful and he's already a deeply good kid. His growth is explicitly about how much more demonic he can be.

How much more tightly can he hold onto his loved ones and his desires.

How much more selfish.

Just how refresing is it to read a story where gluttony is a virtue and a goal?

WELCOME TO THE TUMBLR SEXYREMATCH

Hi, I'm sexymanotd. You may know me as the asshole from twitter who ran the original Tumblr Sexyman Tournament. I have tumblr polls now. Who's up for round two?

Here's the bracket—

Each round will last one day, and each matchup will get their own post. They'll all be tagged "#round one" etc on my blog, and I'll also update this masterpost with links to every poll.

Btw, my inbox is open for links to any fanart that might get made this time around.

As always, I hate some of these characters and I hope they get obliterated, and the winner will be taken to Baskin Robbins and given a small cone. My treat.

Deku and Aang !! They’d be bffs !
