Home and Somewhere Else

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 do I keep seeing people say Marinette is poor, comes from a lower-class family and faces a lot of hardship? This girl has a design as a hobby and that is by no means cheap because she's not only designing but also creating it! She never even needed to work in her parent's bakery, the only time she's shown to work on it is when she temporarily dispelled from school and I don't think it even lasts for a day or two for most. The bakery is in Paris, we can even see the Eiffel Tower from her balcony, she's far from poor. The only hardship that Marinette has in her life is juggling her double lives, one that she's done poorly because of her control freak tendencies. Chloe? She has already taken care of her since Origin. Derision is just trying to show us a flashback that no longer matters except for "justification" for Marinette creepy behavior. I feel like Marinette is the protagonist who hardly faced any hardship in her life and even if she did, everyone around her would take care of it for her. Unless failing to confess to her crush is considered hardship, but even then Adrien already takes care of it. Guardian duty? I feel like Alya has done a better job than her at it. I don't think I know any protagonist who got so many compliments for zero achievement as Marinette did.

Yeah, the Marinette is in the lower class thing is such an annoying misconception just cause rich kids like Adrien and Chloe are in the same room as her. Its not helped with how s5 seemed so fixated to cast Marinette as this simple girl from a working class family going after the uptown rich boy Adrien. Emotion definitely put emphasis on this in the Diamond Ball, not to mention the show's gotten more upfront about their stance against the upperclass (while being highly sympathetic to rich upperclass men, as if Chloe is the only one representing the rich). Finance is the least of Marinette's real worries, she is far from poor and I will die on this hill.

Also yeah, it feels like Marinette's personal problems are such 1st world problems. Confessing to the boy she likes, accidentally ghosting friends... sure superheroing and guardian stuff are serious problems, but also yeah. Maybe the sympathy fatigue is kicking in for me cause I personally can't bring myself to feel for Marinette and whatever she's going through. All that suffering and what does she have to show for it?

The show be like "Marinette is the bestest best Ladybug to ever best. She only lost the Miracle Box twice and missed out on a chance to grab it all back because she was feeling smug that day and wanted to rub it in until Monarch got out from under her nose. She has such a strong sense of justice, she made Paris sing the praises of the man who terrorized them and erect a statue in his honor! This is the greatest Ladybug of all time! But pls excuse her for her mistakes cause she is 14 and traumatized and its all Chloe's fault anyway."

... Yes, I'm paraphrasing. Please only take it as seriously as I do: which is not at all.

The show itself couldnt put in the work to get me to take it seriously again for the past 2 seasons, I ain't going back now.

I know I’m really going hard with the Bakugo bashing today, but I’m not gonna lie, he has the energy of that one white kid at school who listened to Eminem, or gangsta rap in general once and thinks he’s had a hard life, getting upset at facing actual consequences for his actions, meanwhile he’s the most spoiled/privileged kid in the class. We all went to school with that kid don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.

shipping renkaza fucking sucks because you either get people who hate real enemies to lovers and call it toxic or pr*ship because they actually are enemies who want to kill each other instead of friends who bicker sometimes (these people are the weakest link and will not survive the winter)

or you get people who do ship it but only in the gooner dumbing-it-down-to-hardcore-porn way where they romanticize and get off to abuse and r*pe (these people are just gross sick individuals and i hope they go extinct)

and the few people who do see the emotional depth in the homoerotic minutes renkaza spent together and the potential in that for top tier doomed yaoi are few and far in between and i rarely find good fics that aren't just insanely ooc porn

What is with the constant fetishisation of rape and SA on this app and in fan fiction?? I get people have their kinks n shit but rape??? Really???

Not only that but the amount of pedophilia and incest is insane😟

I try not to be judgemental but I don’t get why you would want to read about yourself or someone else being SA how does that not make you uncomfortable and normalising shit like that is so not okay. It is not romance. It is not dark romance. It’s abuse and it’s gross.

I get that people are into different things and that you can’t control what you like most of the time but the normalisation of this stuff is crazy and so damaging especially to minors and victims.

I get CNC like atleast there’s consent in that but straight up violent rape fiction is weird and scary.

Anyway thanks for reading my lil rant!! love you all, stay happy and safe MWAH 💋

Edit: I have a reblog answering a few questions 🫶
