Kaminari playing with Ojiros tail during the principals ples speech

just the purest heros being friends :^3

the friendship chronicles: kirideku version

anyways we should be absolutely terrified of kirishima because he's way too emotionally intelligent for a sixteen year old kid

side note more people should make characters schizospec. just for shits and also because everybody loves us forever

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

No wonder bkg can't stand his ass

help im rewatching season 3 and this is so funny

the real reason shigaraki wants deku dead

BNHA Meta

me: because you have this story set in this superhero world, but like, the horrors of modern Japanese society are still very much present

me: (like why the hell would a highly individualized quirk society still be using family registration and koseki? the reason is because Horikoshi is Japanese and didn't think that was weird, much like when Americans toss around their Imperial measuring system willy-nilly, but it says something about BNHA as a window to modern Japan)

me: Mental illness is seen as something shameful and to hide away from

me: I mean, it's crazy that Todo's mom was in that hospital for 10 years. like most modern psychiatric facilities would promote rehabilitating a patient back into their life way earlier

me: the fact that Todoroki implies that he has to save her from the hospital says A LOT about her situation. she's probably been totally abandoned by her family thanks to the mental health stigma/the fact Endeavor managed to charm them into making her marry him to begin with

me: (also how wealthy Endeavor is to be able to fund her permanent stay and yet how empty and cold her room is)

me: (even terminally ill people don't stay in the hospital that long, it's so expensive and no hospice wants to tear someone totally out of their normal life)

me: (so like I said, honestly terrifying)

me: (like Endeavor is the worst but also, fuck Todomama's family. They clearly didn't do shit for their daughter.)

me: It's still a shonen and they don't criticize society so much as the individual but the implications are so important and it becomes fascinating to pull apart because there's so much of the modern Japanese fantasy and reality mixed up in this superhero world

me: like the hero culture in HeroAca has startling parallels to the horrifically exploitative idol culture in Japan

me: kind of the hyper commercialization of personalities and the idea of rankings being some be all, end all

which paired with, instead of a sexualized consumption, but a consumption of violence, is kind of startling

me: (well there's still sexualized consumption because the treatment of women as sexual objects is rampant even here)

me:in some ways, it's almost hunger games esque, this commercialization of violence and the audience participation in this act
