she’s such a good mom i want to cry

u ever think abt how bnha has two characters who have been confirmed, canonly, to hurt children for their causes, and since one is a hero he gets to have a redemption arc but because the other is a villain, he has his arms mercilessly torn off and his whole life’s work stolen. i mean he deserves it lmao but it’s wildly a double standard in a rly meta way. like, sure, you could say the message is that “one is inherently a good person, thus he chooses to redeem himself, and that’s what makes him deserving of being a hero,” but that ultimately cannot be separated from the fact that he was introduced first and foremost as (1) a hero, and (2) a domestic abuser, and we can’t pretend that there is no personal code of ethics associated with being a hero in bnha that isn’t imposed by its own author. essentially what i’m saying is that there is a good moral judgment placed on being a hero and a bad moral judgment placed on being a villain by the narrative itself, and we can’t ignore that it influences the way these two stories are written. because heroes are good and there’s moral goodness associated with heroism, all faults of heroes no matter how heinous must be shown as worthy of redemption, because they deserve it by being heroes. it’s not because of who he is as a person that the narrative decides to give him this chance, it’s because of what his job is. villains, on the other hand, are forever tainted by their villainy and are not worthy of second chances, they should be immediately and soundly punished. and u kno what that just sounds super real for a sec🤔🤔

I can't get over your art. On bad days I just go to your profile and giggle at your art because omg. It's wonderful and fun and I love it. <333

Tysm!

Have an old doodle of Tsuyu coming to the rescue

Pet peeve of mine is when people act like Shigaraki having any suave, or speaking skills would be out of character. Like, yes, he is a gamer and a brat. But he was also serving lines such as; "All that lives and breathes presses on the weight in my soul. So then, why shouldn’t I destroy it? Why must I suffer it? When this world falls, we’ll see the glorious new horizon that awaits. So why not lend me a hand? I’ll show you the halls of heaven and the depths of hell.” Like?? This bitch was raised by All For One. He knows how to fucking talk. And he knows how to be dramatic.

Like Livestock: Endeavor’s Use of Language

I just wanted to share a post by a reddit user (u/sleepyfriend) about something that many people overlook as part of Endeavor’s earlier characterization because things get lost in translation into English:

In Endeavor’s conversation with All Might during the Sports Festival arc, the English translations had Endeavor refer to Shouto as “it” or “that” or whatever. Ever wonder how this was phrased in Japanese? ‘I will make that(“are” as opposed to “aitsu” or “anoko” you would expect for a child) into a hero that surpasses you. He’s an “offspring” I created for that purpose.’ The offspring bit is the part I want to focus. While the word usually used for a child is “ko(子)”, the one Endeavor uses here is “ko(仔)”. “Ko(仔)” is a word specifically reserved for animal offspring. It’s a blatant misuse of the word, clearly intended to tell us that this man views Shouto as a successful breeding project rather than a child. All Might would not have picked up on this though, since “ko(子)” and “ko(仔)” sounds exactly the same. Only the Japanese manga readers had the privilege of noticing this.

Between this and the way he refers to Shouto’s siblings, I want to point out that, not counting the post-Kamino manga, the Todoroki children have spent 15-22(or more??) years being regarded as mere tools for Enji’s ambition. He dehumanized them before they were even born. He refers to his ‘prized’ child in the same way a person would refer to their favorite milking cow. Just an ‘interesting’ fact about him that I think should be shared.
