Starry Decorations

Bakugou stans who hate Endeavor and Endeavor stans who hate Bakugou make me laugh.

Because when you get down to it, they both benefit from the same things: in-universe privilege, narrative advantages, and plot manipulation. Their arcs enable each other in a way, they're both abusers being given more exposure and grace than their victims. They're both constantly being propped and accepted by the other characters despite being horrible people.

Criticizing one and not the other is obtuse. They're cut from the same exact cloth, the issues with their characters are nearly identical. And the focus of both their characters contribute to the overarching problem of MHA; not only pandering to abusers but pandering to those born privileged and who knowingly abused that privilege. And neither had to face actual repercussions without being protected by the author.

The only difference between them is in the literal sense; Endeavor is a worse person morally while Bakugou is a worse character narratively.

They both still suck ass

An overly detailed analysis of Muzan’s walking patterns

The way Muzan walks in this scene has been criticized for being “careless” or “rude,” and I see why people would say that considering his seeming disregard for the dead bodies, but I would like to propose an alternate theory. When I was watching this episode (and before I had seen anyone else comment on this scene), I noticed that his walk seemed oddly familiar to me and I think I’ve figured out why. It’s the way someone walks when they are actively thinking about how they’re walking.

I have an autoimmune joint condition that causes pain in my hips and back, and when it flares up, I have to force myself to stand up super straight and take really calculated steps when I walk to avoid doing things that cause the pain to get worse. I try take the straightest possible path, to not to change my steps by stepping over things to reduce variables that could make me “mess up” and move in a way that hurts. Muzan’s walk here looks a lot like my walk when I am doing this. He’s consistent, he’s stiff, he keeps a straight line, and he avoids stepping over or on things.

This makes sense given his backstory. Not only did he grow up chronically ill, he’s also permanently injured from Yoriichi’s past attacks on him. He’s probably in some amount of pain (or at least is very familiar with chronic pain). Even despite him becoming a demon and gaining a stronger body, you can still see it in the way he moves. He’s methodical about using his body in a way that only those who have suffered through chronic pain would be.

For all the my hero academia fans who are disappointed for that ending i have three recommendations for yall!

-invincible: superhero comic/show that explores the superhero genre in a interesting and smart way, very good writting and good actions scenes

-Worm (parahumans): superhero web serial that you can read here for free, also a very good writer history that explores the genre in different aspects and with a large female cast!

- Witch Hat atelier: not superhero manga but still a very good written one! If you liked mha for the academy part and for the students you will love this! Children chart are written like Children the mc, coco shares some similarities with deku and her dynamic with agott (another student) has some similarities with deku and bakugo dynamic (but better!)

This are just some recommendations of things i been reading/watching and enjoying a lot while also thinking "damn i wish mha was more like this" so have fun! c:

And this one is about Dabi, bc I think he was done dirty so much (just like Izu) and I have to say....I don't like how dabi is closer to Natsu, a 8 years old, over Yumi.

I get the reason and have seen many discussion about Dabi and Natsu, trust me. But Yumi was there....she is their sister but is she like the maid or smth? I'm serious bc when Rei was gone I know the chores fall to Yumi who is the only girl in the house (mind you, Endy is rich enough to have more helpers "maybe he did and we don't know" ok fair, but the emotional labour fall to Yumi)

And yes Dabi was just parroting his father's sexism (when dabi wake up from the coma he wanted to apologize to his mom and sister, so is not as if he hated them. I do agree it's and should be nuanced ...) but we aren't allowed to see Toya and Yumi bonding? Did Toya ignored his sister and went straight to vent to a 8 years old boy?

Feels odd (not odd, in the sense "I don't believe it" but in the sense "it's forced, Toya had someone closer in age to talk") bc why not talk to his sister? Was she pro endy even back then? But Toya wanted his attention so his sister being pro endy wouldn't be an issue unless she told him to try be smth else.

Just saying it's ...strange how Yumi is ignored when she is closer of age to Toya. Dabi and Natsu have a bonding but not Yumi...bc she is a girl.

Did Dabi unlearn his sexism way? Look, as much "sexist dabi" are funny jokes...I never saw him, the adult dabi, as sexist. Endy? Yes. Dabi, the crazy villain not (not saying Dabi is feminist king or any shit, but like he never gave me the vibe of being "woman make me a sandwich!")

Just wondering here.

Hi @mikeellee 👋

I think it makes sense why Touya was closer to Natsou than to fuyumi. Now, when I say that, I mean that Touya simply talked to and opened up more to Natsou, not that he and fuyumi didn't have a relationship at all. The Canon material shows that they had a sibling relationship but they weren't particularly as close compared to touya and Natsou and I do think this stems from Touya's own mysgonistic beliefs that were instilled into him by Enji's behaviour. I do want to clarify that Touya's mysgonistic beliefs aren't presented as a LOUD BARRIER to his relationship with fuyumi and his mother, but they are still quite a present and persistent barrier that needs to be acknowledged. Yes, Touya cares for his mother and sister, and he did feel guilty after waking up from his coma, but that doesn't negate the fact that he has some concerning beliefs that taint his own perception of the women in the todoroki household.

That's to say I believe that Touya did use to open up to fuyumi but as time went on he slowly distanced himself away and began relaying on Natsou a lot more due to him viewing him and Natsou to be more similar again a mysognistic belief that is highlighted in these 2 pages.

Touya still seems to have a relationship with his sister before his death. However, I would argue that it's a lot more distant now than, especially with their differing beliefs on the matters of the household. Fuyumi craves a normal life and a normal happy family, which causes her to pretend everything is fine and try and do damage control on what she could while Touya knew fully what was going on with the family and abs hated all of it causing him to actively go against his parents wishes and rebel.

They still seem to be close as Touya does accept her invitation to play with her and Natsou. However, I would argue that Fuyumi now has a closer relationship to Natsou than to Touya, and the same is applicable to Touya.

Again, I do wish we got more flashbacks and differing perspectives from the todoroki family, especially from Fuyumi's perspective.

Before the incident, it is stated in chapter 302 that Enji did hire help but it was only to look after Shoto which does mean that the responsibility of the 3 children did fall mainly to Rei and I do believe that a gold chunk of the manual and emotional labour fell onto Fuyumi as well after her mother was hospitalised. I do think it is a possibility that Enji did hire someone to look after them however, I find it unlikely that the person stayed long at all or that they done much in general and I think from what we see it is heavily implied that after their mother's hospitalisation Fuyumi is the one to handle the labour requited to be fulfilled.

I don't think that the reason Touya was distant with fuyumi was that she was pro enji but more due to their differing views about what they want and how they individually process the situation they are in mixed in with Touya's mysgoiny. However, I do believe that Touya unlearns this after he becomes Dabi yet it is a shame that Horikoshi never showed us when and how (probably because it would paint enji in a bad light and it would need to be told from Dabi's perspective)

why lolicon is bad

1. Ethical Concerns

The most pressing ethical issue with lolis and lolicons is the portrayal of underage characters in a sexualized manner. Even though these characters are fictional, their representation often mirrors and perpetuates harmful sexual fantasies about minors. This normalization can desensitize individuals to the exploitation of real children. Sexualizing young characters in any form, whether fictional or real, raises significant moral questions about consent, exploitation, and the integrity of childhood.

2. Psychological Impact

Engaging with lolicon content can have detrimental psychological effects on individuals. For some, the attraction to lolis might reflect or exacerbate unhealthy fantasies and desires. This can be problematic in two ways: it may reinforce and normalize inappropriate desires, and it may lead to a desensitization towards the exploitation of real children. Even if such content is consumed privately, the mental and emotional impact on individuals who engage with it can be profound, potentially leading to issues of mental health or social isolation.

3. Societal Implications

On a societal level, the existence and proliferation of lolicon content can contribute to the broader acceptance of child sexualization. This is dangerous because it undermines societal norms designed to protect children and can inadvertently support a culture where the sexual exploitation of minors is trivialized. Additionally, the existence of such content complicates legal and ethical discussions about freedom of expression and protection of minors. Societies must navigate these issues carefully to ensure that freedoms are exercised responsibly and do not come at the expense of vulnerable populations.

Could you tell some of the differences between ENFP and ENFJ? I know they're really different but as far as Ne vs Fe goes, I feel like sometimes they can *appear* similar in social situations

Generally, you’ll know you’re around a person with Ne in their stack when you have 654 different conversations in the course of an hour and wonder how you effortlessly went from cream cheese to inner-galactic travel. The person with high Ni is still trying to figure out the deeper implications of a single event or theory six months after the high Ne has abandoned the topic and moved on. 

The primary observational difference I’ve noticed when you have an ENFJ vs. an ENFP involved is the ENFJ is tuned in to all the ‘mind games’ people are playing with you (FeNi), whereas if you present a problem to the ENFP, they head straight for tert-Te “fix it” mode.

Someone brings up a problem they are having in the group and the ENFJ realizes swiftly this is a cry for attention and they want affirmation and/or are aiming for sympathy, so the Fe-dom goes along with it by empathizing and/or discreetly steering the conversation in a more positive direction. Healthy ENFJs are patient with others and can usually figure out diplomatic questions which will help others through their emotional turmoil; the most skilled ENFJs are able to point others toward self-empowerment through these questions, without ever putting themselves at risk of being ‘blamed’ for the other person’s choices (because all the ENFJ did was ask questions and pose potential motives; they let the individual draw their own conclusions; Fe gives them this tact / skill, and Ni supplies them with what they believe is ‘behind’ this person’s actions, as well as an ability to think ‘how will this play out in the future if this goes wrong?’).

The ENFP, being ‘disconnected’ from the emotional environment (Fi), will assume the person brought it up because they want to fix it, and start going through a litany of possible fixes rather than simply saying, “Aww, I’m sorry.” FiTe is not terrific at extended bouts of extroverted sympathy, especially if the person brings up the same problem multiple times over a long period of time but rebuffs any suggestions on how to fix it. (Being a strong Te type, the ENFP may decide this person only wants to complain, not change, and since Ne wants forward momentum, this person has become a ‘lost cause’ in the Ne/Te looper’s eyes.) Since their emotions are internal, ENFPs are more comfortable with ‘fixing the problem’ than ‘talking it out’ (INFPs, being better connected to their own feelings, have a deeper capacity for understanding and are more comfortable with ‘comforting’ others). Ne gives them many different ideas for why this person is making this choice and/or venting, but unlike the Ni, who has a fixed idea, Ne changes its perception with each new piece of information.

Because ENFJs have Ti, they are far less willing to just ‘give up’ on a situation and may engage in trying to ‘fix it’ long after they should have given up; their low Ti does not know when to quit. Since ENFPs have higher Te, as Ne-doms they will run through a bunch of possibilities in a short amount of time and then may give up much sooner, because they can see no more potential and their Te simply decides, ‘this is not working, call it quits.’ They lack a Ti desire to ‘completely understand’ in favor of ‘rapid action.’

Unhealthy ENFJs think they know what is best for you and will try to force their ideas about your life onto you and/or argue you into agreeing with their consensus while often being judgmental about other people; unhealthy ENFPs will try and bully you into being proactive with your problems (Te) and have little respect for your feelings in the process.

Both (healthy) types are dreadful with details and restless / often want forward movement, in search of constant new intellectual stimulation, and care a lot about other people’s reactions to their choices, but ENFJs are more easily able to be diplomatic and ENFPs are prone to  occasional (unintentional) bluntness.

maybe it’s just my personal obsession desire and passion for metaphorically visualizing the growth and change of characters via reflective physical change to their image and bodies, marking both the passage of time and the growth of their self through distinct phases of visual design, but like

i fell out of BnHA a while ago because the shift in general theme and tone just wasn’t doing it for me, but I saw the page of them grown up today and i just.

…

….its the same picture.

they are just. looking exactly the same. but a little taller and a little less round cheeked???? and like three of them have a bit longer hair????

…boring.

like truly, i expected More. at least for his Boy Favorites.

Hi 🥹🥹🥹

Oh hey 🤍

Hey does anyone know the context for these countdown sketches ive been seeing? Some of them i see have the same numbers so maybe theyre for different things but im going insane trying to find them all

Oh my god! It's happening again! I called out Aizawa for failing to turn Bakugou around, resulting in him becoming in 15th place in the Hero Ranks. Someone replied, "He's a teacher, not a miracle worker."

I responded, "He's hardly even a teacher."

It devolved from there.

Pls😭

People are so defensive of Aizawa. Honestly more than they are of Bakugou which is... Weird to me. Like, the man literally doesn't teach and enables shitty behavior
