I love how complex the dynamics of the Todoroki family are, like mha messed up a lot of things but the Todorokis are so well thought out. They exist independently from one another in a way that most fiction fails to capture. Each of the kids had very different relationships and experiences with their parents and it’s affected them all differently.
People love to say Shouto and Touya are similar but I think they are extremely different because of one detail: Touya knew what a happy family felt like. Before his quirk hurt him his parents adored him and were seemingly happy with each other. He was his father’s greatest achievement and Enji built him up, told him his whole life that he was going to be the best, trained him, praised him. He knew happiness, even if it coincided with physical abuse and unreasonable expectations to put on a child. Overnight he went from being abused but not neglected to neglected but not abused. He continued trying to train himself because for him pain and injury was already a part of his life, he didn’t see a reason for a few burns to stop him because he had probably been told that they shouldn’t by Enji before the truth of his quirk came to light. Touya’s feelings towards Enji are very different from Shouto’s because of this.
Shouto doesn’t seek revenge against his father the same way Touya does, not because Touya suffered more at his hands or because Shouto’s an inherently kind person, but because he never loved Enji. He was an abusive piece of shit for Shouto’s whole life. Touya hates Endeavor because he used to love him. He lives for revenge, his life and goals revolve around bringing down his father, proving himself and hurting the man who hurt him. Shouto would be happy to never even think of Endeavor again. Doesn’t want to see him, doesn’t want anyone to think of his father when the see him, doesn’t want anything at all to do with him. He’s indifferent to Enji’s existence as long as it isn’t immediately impacting him.
Touya and Shouto suffered similar abuse from their father but that key difference of ever feeling loved is what makes them so different. In the end Enji’s love and affection is the reason Touya went crazy, losing something is much harder than never having it in the first place. If Enji hadn’t just stopped spending time with Touya it would’ve been different. If he’d made the effort to really get Touya to understand and not expect overnight results… well it would’ve been a very different story.

I’m simple, I listen to a song about non-sexual intimacy and I think of zolu yearnings
This is my contribution to society
sketching Zolu as sacrilegious art is my favorite thing ever I can't wait to add color
Listening to Sailor Song by Gigi Perez picturing Namivivi and Zolu like the lesbian yearner I am
Why is it that ppl just post abt dieting with pcos…
Like I don’t need diet information I need memes abt the existential dread of knowing that my body cannot function properly
I think ppl tend to brush over the loneliness of brain trauma and how isolating it is to be recovering from a tbi (traumatic brain injury)
I've been in recovery for 2yrs and something I don't think ppl fully understand is how when ur trying to “move on” and “go back to normal”, your body doesn't move like your body anymore.
It doesn't feel like your body anymore.
There is nothing more devastating than trying live your life in a body that doesn't feel like yours or work like the body you once had. Like how tf do you expect me to move on when my limbs don't feel like my limbs?!
You're left mourning the death of the body you once had and no one else sees or knows how disconnected from yourself you feel.
Brain damage sucks
Watching Naruto knowing it was made for dude bros, but seeing how it accidentally became a beautifully heartbreaking story about two people who would sacrifice the world for each other but never realized that they were in fact the world for each other, is so sad and so so gay of Naruto and Sasuke.
It’s so strange
I can never fully express what it’s like living with a tbi and the recovery, nothing ever sounds right, all the words feel wrong.
It’s like I’m transcribing a language dead and gone, all the words I have to say you don’t understand, you don’t have the words for what I felt, you don’t have any conjugations or phrases that equate to my grief. so I’m just left saying,
“It was bad”
When I said I needed pots, THIS WASN’T WHAT I MEANT
People often mistake Luffys indifference for ignorance and I’m here to set the record straight:
Luffy is aware of others and their emotions and what goes on around him, he just doesn’t give a fuck outright until you see him giving one.
Throughout the series we see Luffy beating the crap out of someone who’s an ally, for what at first may seem like no reason but in reality is because they are disrespecting a core belief of his or disrespecting themselves.
A great example is when he slapped Vivi (gay on gay crime lmao). He did so because he not only wanted to “snap her out” of her train of thought but he was also so angry that him and his crew were not being seen as her friends, that he was not trusted enough to be someone she could lean on when he had been there throughout their time in Alabasta. Vivi was also being selfless to a point of self destruction, trying to push away the straw hat crew, thinking of herself as a martyr, the only person capable of saving her country. So luffy had to show her reason in classic Luffy fashion.
Luffy is aware, he’s not just some kid playing pirates like everyone often thinks he is. Luffy strives for true freedom, he challenges the world government, he sees how corrupt the government is and denounces them entirely. He punches a celestial dragon because he doesn’t believe in power structures and believes every asshole deserves to be put in place.
Luffy is an anarchist. To be against the government and to start revolutions requires critical thinking.
