Post canon Touya talking to the Todorokis be like:

"Hello, Touya here. But I guess you probably already know me, sort of. Uh so, the thing is I have a lot of experience with firepower and quirk technique and I'm considered to be pretty good at it. Well you've seen me... you know when I was trying to kill Shouto? Uh yeah, I guess I should apologize for that, but anyway I'm good now. I mean, I thought I was good before but now I realize I was bad, but anyway... I think it's time I went back home and taught Shouto how to better control his fire side."

(camera zooms out to show he's talking to a stray cat that's sniffing his hand for food. The cat hisses)

Hi! What would a traditional bride from Śląsk wear on her wedding day?

Hello! Answering your question might be a bit complicated, because Śląsk is quite a large area divided into two main subregions [Górny Śląsk - Upper Silesia and Dolny Śląsk - Lower Silesia], each having several types of costumes. However, there are some common elements that I might show you below.

Most of Silesian brides would wear: a jacket/blouse called jakla [often in black colour seen as the most elegant/dignifying - but it was changing with time and fashion trends], a skirt painted or embroidered with floral motifs [common in most of Silesian festive clothing] and a so-called “turkish shawl” [chusta turecka with decorative patterns and fringe] worn over the shoulders. One of characteristic elements is also a wreath/crown made usually from green myrtle - and the flower crowns were reserved for the bridesmaids during the wedding that [in general, flower wreaths would be worn only by unmarried women].

Here’s example from Bytom - clothing called strój rozbarski after Rozbark that is nowadays district of the Bytom city [source]:

Another example from Racibórz, second picture shows the act of changing the wreath to a married woman’s head covering [source]:

And the same custom of changing the wreath to a headwear on the example of Bytom costume [source]:

In general, the myrtle wreaths were so important, that most of the brides would later keep them in a flat showcase on the wall as a memorial of the wedding [image below is a printscreen from the Silesian Museum’s virtual tour]:

The black jakla jacket might look a bit boring at the first sight [as I’ve heard before] - but it’s only an effect on badly balanced photographs… just look at these details [source]:

This is just a quick reply that focuses on the Upper Silesia region, but I hope it gives you a good picture.

[note to self: I should post more examples from Silesia]

the interconnectedness of various injustices of Hero Society!!!

The Himura resented the upheaval of the pre-quirk social order that caused them to drop in status. They hated the ‘mixing of blood’ - they hated the idea of being tainted with heteromorphs.

Which is the same belief that led to Shoji being attacked for daring to touch someone. The people of his village would rather a child die then be saved by a heteromorph.

All this started because when quirks started appearing, people could not accept this change. They clung to a narrow definition of ‘humanity’ and rejected all those they viewed as not fitting into the standards.

Rejected and considered them inhuman.

And this concept continues to exists, whether as a yakuza looking to ‘cure’ people of these supernatural abilities so he can return humanity to ‘normal’,

or as prison guards looking at their ‘wild beasts’ of inmates with utter disgust.

It’s been more than a century after the emergence of quirks, though, and the definition of humanity has been expanded to include quirks, including even heteromorphic quirks.

However, this also means that to set apart what isn’t ‘human’, new standards had to be created. New lines had to be created…

…and enforced.

There is, of course, logic to why and how and where lines are drawn! That’s just what civilization is. That’s how society functions.

Heroes defend the lines from villains that violate it.

But to the people who don’t make the cut, who are on the other side of the lines for whatever reason, they feel this rejection deeply and sharply.

And so we end up where we are right now.

As Dabi says, “Behold, the limitations of superpowered society.”

I feel bad for Touya

Just look at this. It's cruel.

He's hooked up to more life support than All for One after having his entire skull caved in and brain turned to paste.

They practically put him on display here.

He's got that hole in the base of his throat like what people who've smoking for 50 years. Why does thst medical equipment look like he's got knives stabbed into his shoulders?

Touya can't move, can only speak for a few minutes a day(which I assume is related to him only being concious for a few minutes a day), he's got no limbs, if he has any amount of physical sensation left he is in pain, and look at what is on his head

Those are going into his skull in multiple places. What is even the point of forcing him to endure this?

Look at his throat. Look at how little mass is left between his esophagus and spine. The rest of it is artificial, probably just to force him to keep breathing. Almost his entire lower jaw is fake too.

Why doesn't he have nose holes?

On a related note! How can he talk? He ain't got no lips left.

On an unrelated note! Why are his teeth the only part of him left completely in tact?

Overall: Forcing a corpse to keep breathing and putting it in a glass display case is dehumanizing and a worse punishment than anything else that has happened in this entire series, and it's being treated as a good thing because "Closure" or whatever.

And, like, he's still dying. He's not healing from this. They are literally just prolonging his suffering. They are forcing him to suffer so Enji can come and try to relieve his own guilt? So Shoto can have a sibling relationship with the charrred husk that used to be a human as it slowly wastes away? Maybe he should try building rekationships with his nonmurderous siblings with intact bodies and minds that aren't mummies suspended in a living hell. Spend some time with his mom, maybe?

Russians moving to Mariupol are ordinary Russians. Those ordinary Russians are taking pics with destroyed homes in the background, they wear propagandist shirts. They climb up them ruins and make videoblogs.

Ordinary Russians are adopting deported children. They don't care those children have been stolen from homes. They lie that their parents gave them up. They are horrified those stolen children speak Ukrainian as an act of rebellion.

Ordinary Russians are supporting Putin. They believe they are the better than others, that God is helping them.

Ordinary Russians are working on the ammo factories and produce shells and bullets and bombs. Those are all ordinary Russians.

Ordinary Russians leave thousands of comments cheering to our deaths and tragedies. Deaths and tragedies done by their fucking country and by their fathers brothers and sons. Who also are, you know, ordinary Russians.
