Adding Into This, His Name Is Totally Something Like Bertram, Or Does Bertram Have A Japanese Equivilant?

I think the thing about Denki is that yes he does do some of the same dumb pervy shit that Minoru does, but he really dialed back on it, off the top of my head he only did the Cheerleader and Pool ones, which was not a great idea, but at other points he seems genuinely discussed by Mineta's weirder actions, EG: Trying to spy on them whilst their naked.

I've always seen Kaminari as a more controlled Teenage boy, he has very clear lines on what he considers, and moved on rather quickly from trying to trick the girls, so he learned, now if only he could get that through to Mineta.

But I would have also like a bit of exploration on Mineta beyond his whole, let's be honest sexual assault, joke bit, like he's smart and a surprisingly good artist, like could we have gotten more of that Mineta, can we have him actually like straight up apologising to the girls, and saying full well none of them should accept it, because they shouldn't, but understanding that he does understand what he did was majorly wrong.

Could we not get something like that please.

Honestly that last part is really me wanting to do something with him that isn't a perv joke in my Fic, because he can be interesting, you just need to find the parts that are.

Denki Kaminari has pretty privilege and no one can change my mind.

Everyone hates Mineta but everyone loves Kaminari who is often beside him when he's doing creepy shit. Everyone overlooks it or even just forgets about his participation because they like him.

This is just interesting to me because it's such a clear example of pretty privilege in a way you wouldn't normally consider. My inner psych nerd is vibrating

I'm not sure how to explain this but when ever someone brings up the old, 'What songs or Artists do you associate with this character?' question concerning MHA the only person I can answer in full confidence is Rick Astley for Kaminari.

No I will not elaborate you work it out yourself.

WOOOH WOH WOH, repeat that last part to me?

Trains, absolutely Autism.

Dandadan is the most autistic love story ever. They became friends because they took a chance on each other’s special interests and ended up daydreaming about discussing the other’s with them. They couldn’t care less what others think of them but they can’t stand when the other gets slandered. They got jealous of each other because of characters who would be the main character if this was any other anime. She Even Knows About Trains.

The Fat Controller catches wind that the engines at Tidmouth are refusing to come out, pondering what on earth they could be striking about this time he bods down to the sheds to see what the problem is.

Much his utter disbelief, the engines are in the midst of a fierce battle of monopoly that they refuse to part from, with the engines' crew members rolling the dice and moving the pieces for them. Are the humans more than aware that they'll probably get in trouble for this? Yes of course. But the sight of Gordon having a full on meltdown after landing on income tax for the fourth time while Percy is struggling to figure out what to mortgage next as Edward sits with his abundance of hotels is way worth the disciplinary.

HOLY SHIT YES, YES YESYSYSYSYS SOMEONE WHO GETS IT, GIVE HIM THAT RAVEN BLADE

LET HIM BE COOL, COULD YOU IMAGEN THAT SWORD STREAKING OUT FROM UNDER HIS CLOAK GUIDED BY DARK SHADOW!?

YES.

Swordsman Tokoyami with cursed blade Dark Shadow?

Don't mind if I do.

What's the bet on Hizashi knowing Kyotoku and Mika before Kyouka came to U.A.

I'd say semi likely.

Their so father daughter.

‼️not my photos‼️

He really is a bit of a nucleus for some many things, like if you remove him for the equation so much changes, hell I think the whole dynamic of the class changes if he isn't present.

He really became the guy they looked towards, you have so many points where the other will go 'Right what would Midoriya do here' he had their backs so often that when he goes MIA they all show up without question, honestly Kaminari was the realest in that spat, told him to take a bath.

They all had something to say to him, they all had an impact, and he really go from a bunch of individuals to a group that had each others back, and they are to a degree by the end of the story ride or die.

Blue Lantern Activity.

Today's MHA ramble is either gonna be great or ineligible and there will be no in-between. I'm on my computer instead of my phone today so I can type so much faster, but, I am slightly dehydrated and out of it because I just spent like eight hours outside in the sun for a renaissance fair so maybe I'll just pass out half way through, who knows.

Lizzy's MHA thought/ramble of the night: MHA and why I think it does the "power of friendship" trope the correct way (IE: Not cringy/weird).

Now, I honestly think trying to wrap up the intricacies of the end of MHA in just "the power of friendship!!" is doing the series a huge disservice, but in its simplest form, that kind of is what happens. To be honest, I'm such a sucker for this trope. I love it when we get to see all the people the MC (Izuku in this case) has made an impact on over the course of the series and they all come together to back the main character, that is thee shit and I will eat it up.

However, the thing I love about MHA's approach to this is something we see explored a lot through the series: the idea that you don't have to go at it alone. Like, I feel like the ending has so much more of an impact because instead of them all the other characters standing behind him and going "Yay!! You can do it!! Good job!!" No, instead they run beside him and say "rest, we'll clear you a path. We know we can't do this for you, but at least let us do this".

Because that's what a friend is. That's what friendship is. It's realizing that not only is a friend someone you want to protect, but it's someone who protects you.

It gives me chills Every. Damn. Time.

It's through that we get to see the impact Izuku has made on everyone in the series. I joke with people that even when Izuku has nothing to do with something that's happening, he has something to do with it, and that really comes to a head in the final chapters. In a sort of ironic way, it's what ends up defeating All for One, because it's literally the only thing he never managed to get. Deku says as much while they're fighting, that deep down All for One really is just a lonely man. He had power, people to do his bidding and hang on his every word, but the top of the world is a very isolating place to be because there's no one who can look you in the eye. Followers and friends are two different things, a friend is an equal, a follower is a pawn.

I think it's why All for One was so attached to his younger brother Yoichi, because deep down, he knew All for One in ways that no one ever could. It was the closest to a genuine loving relationship he ever got.

Honestly, it's part of why All Might failed the first time around too. He had a few friends, sure, but in the end he was surrounded by mostly fans. People who adored and appreciated him, but did so from behind a barricade. All Might pretty much worked alone - and Deku definitely couldn't have made the progress he made without the trail All Might blazed - but Deku had the one thing All Might never did: People who fought alongside him even when he didn't want them to.

And, honestly? I can't blame All Might for avoiding it. After all, Deku almost does this same thing. They both wanted to protect people so badly they don't want to accept help. They see themselves as the only person who's allowed to make sacrifices because they're so scared they'll loose someone. It's part of the reason I find such comfort in Izuku as a character, because he never wants to see anyone else hurt because of him.

However, because Deku reached out first in the beginning, because he made friends and took care of them whenever he could, because treated them as equals, they said "too bad so sad, you get our help whether you like it or not, because that's what you'd do for us". It's the beauty of those final episodes of season six and why I love them so much, because 1-A had no reason to go after Deku other than they were worried about him. They didn't take no for an answer, because sometimes it's a friend's job to take you by the hand and scream in your face to "TAKE A NAP!!! EAT SOME FOOD!! YOU'RE WEARING YOURSELF DOWN AND YOU NEED A BREAK!!! SIT DOWN AND LET US CARRY YOU FOR A WHILE!!!"

It's exactly like Ochaco says, they don't want to be protected. They're not fragile victims to be looked after. They didn't get blindly wrapped up in this mess, they dove in head first because they cared about Izuku and wanted to stand at his side.

And therein lies the difference.

All for One had followers.

All Might had fans.

Deku had friends.

Followers will only do as they're told. Fans will only cheer on. But friends? You can't tell them to do shit, they do what they want, and if they want to help you then they will. Friends go the extra mile. Friends run beside you when no one else can. Friends clear the path for you so you can deliver that final big ass punch.

That's the magic of this trope, and you can see it so clearly here because it's realistic. And by that I mean Izuku doesn't get a magical burst of energy because everyone was cheering his name from the sidelines. It came from them actually doing shit to give him a chance. It came from Aizawa bandaging his wounds, it came from Iida grabbing his hand and half-dragging him across the battle field, it came from Eri giving a little bit of her quirk, it came from Bakugo showing up at the last second to blast the crap out of someone, it came from the countless attacks launched by the rest of the heroes to give him a chance to get back on his feet.

You know what they say, actions speak louder than words, and that's the magic of this kind of storytelling. We don't need to be told they care through chants or claps, they just show us.

That's the true "power of friendship". People who don't just stand beside you, but sometimes run in front of you so you don't trip over that stump in the path.

That's friendship. That's love. And I think that's incredibly beautiful.

...these posts get longer every time. Maybe I need to stick to my phone so my thumbs get tired faster. 😂 This is what happens when I'm allowed to cook late at night. If you made it to the end, thank you and I salute you.

Firstly New Kamijirou art from that cool spread.

Secondly, am I tripping or is Denki wearing heels, those are heel right?

That man is not beating the Twink Allegations I swear because those aren't even like big heeled but flat, no those are heels.

Meanwhile Kyouka rocking it with the swagger whilst her twink of a boyfriend is, doing that.

Also as Rowan so eloquently put.

Twice

Do it.
