Drawing What The Headcanon Generator Did For Me. MHA Class 1-A Version. Part One!!

Just saw that an artist I admired on here was driven to delete their TOH art because of toxic people and I just wanted to say this:

If you are a TOH stan (I'm hesitant to use the word 'fan') who harasses people because they like Belos in any way, go fuck yourself.

You do NOT have the right to dox, send death threats, harass, demean, or otherwise be an asshole to people because they like a character you don't.

Belos is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER for fuck's sake. It's OK to find him attractive. It's OK to like him as a villain. It's OK to like him as a character in general. It's OK to write fanfic about him, to draw fanart of him, to make AUs where he's a better person. And it's even OK if you relate to him at all, or if you sympathize with him at all for his backstory (I mean, dude grew up an impoverished orphan ffs). None of these things make you a bad person.

There are FAR worse villains out there that don't get anywhere NEAR the same levels of vitriol from their respective fandoms if you so much as express an inkling of interest in them.

If you're a TOH stan who's thinking of harassing me next, just know that I refuse to put up with your bullshit.

"bnha was ruined by the fandom" is a sentiment that I'll always hate because guess what? Shipping happens in every fandom. Ship wars happen in every fandom. Yes, it's disgusting that people are sending threats to Horikoshi about making their ship canon, but once again that is not exclusive to bnha. This is just normal fandom culture behaviour, minus the threats.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but how other fans choose to support the series does not affect you whatsoever. If seeing ships that aren't your "canon" straight ships is enough for you to immediately start disliking the original series, then get the fuck off the internet because you're going to see things that you don't like on here.

P.S. your "canon" straight ships are about as canon as the popular gay one. No, todomomo is not "more canon" than tododeku just because they're straight. And no, bnha fans are not heterophobic, get over yourselves.

Dont listen to Iida he has a concussion

Edit: A reminder this originally is @snowthedemonfox's idea from the start, and it's basically both something me and her created or collaborated on. Please credit her too~ @snowthedemonfox has been infecting me with tadc ideas for the last few weeks aand I ended up making a comic out of one of the scenarios. A lot of back and forth ideas we shook around regarding Jax as an actual bunny.

I will be forever salty about how they played it safe with Belos.

So afraid to follow through with what they put in place because that meant he was sympathetic and complicated so they just went "Oh, no he's just evil, nothing else."

It's like telling kids they can never be this way if they aren't already. Belos' mindset can literally affect anyone at any age and turn them into monsters. You can fall into the pit of doing bad things because you think you're in the right. A lot of people already do that by taking activism in the wrong direction and harassing others they disagree with. It's people who try to use violence and threats "for the sake of good" against anyone they perceive as their enemy when they're anything but the good guys. You'll often find them trying to speak for others who don't want to be spoken for because they have their own voice and miss the mark entirely.

God forbid he has a sympathetic backstory. God forbid what happened to him makes people think. People are so afraid to have sympathy for the bad guy that it makes them look like freakin' robots who can't think for themselves. It makes me think back to my grandmother's time when people were so fucking afraid of what others thought of them that they didn't do what they thought was right or wanted to do. My life would have been a bit different if my Catholic grandmother didn't worry about what other idiots in the neighborhood thought.

Sympathizing with a bad guy DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON. It says more about you than the bad guy in general. Showing sympathy to someone like Belos shows you have compassion. You realize that nothing in this world is black and white and something drove him to what he currently is today. You're not excusing anything. You're not wishing he had redemption, but that he took different routes in his life and there's nothing you can do about it. You PITY him. Belos can't be redeemed because he's too far gone.

I don't feel bad for saying Belos deserved worse because he did, but I do sympathize with him for his early years considering the only person he cared about up and left. He was a fucking orphan for Christ's sake, he had no one but Caleb, had been taught to be a certain way, and Caleb just does a 180 on him and disappears? You feel nothing for someone who goes through that? You can't tell me to look at it from Caleb's perspective because we didn't GET Caleb's perspective. If we did, MAYBE we wouldn't be at this point, would we?

I wish they had just gone the "he's just evil" route instead of dropping all of that complex crap they put into motion for him knowing they were cut. Why the hell was he a witch hunter with religious undertones if they just going to make him evil and discard everything up until that point when it would have just saved time and effort to just drop it?! I would have believed it more if he was a corrupt member of a church than someone thinking they were actually doing good BY THE CHURCH and the society he was raised in.

Belos was too good of a villain to be wasted like this. The sympathetic background made it angsty and showed that anyone can cross a line if they think they're in the right instead of "Oh, you don't have to worry about that, you aren't that way". Luz was right about feeling complex about the situation because it is complex. She noted that Belos is doing something that would be considered a good thing. The Titan just brushed it off and pulled the whole "Well, it's okay if we do it, but not when he does it, he's not sincere" which is the same message a religious establishment would give you.

You want a non-sympathetic "evil for the sake of evil" villain? Go watch Puss and Boots and observe Jack Horner. Jack Horner embraces his selfishness and knows he's doing bad things. Belos is not it. Just because the writers flubbed his character at the end, doesn't mean he's not a sympathetic villain.

((Sorry, I feel ranty))

I made this to accomodate the 2nd to last post (the road work one) and to celebrate out of touch thursday today

❗️please do not repost to other platforms ❗️

was reminded of this audio and knew what had to be done

i like to say i’m nice to my comfort characters and then i make stupid animatics of them (im so sorry aoyama)

and before i get “oh but wasn’t all for one young when he gave aoyama his quirk!” uhh i made this late at night right before the first day of school and i feel like it could work either way
