Does Anyone

the idea of shou going to school after mp100 is. so fucking funny to me. like Hell Yeah boy get an education. get to learning and all that. but like. imagining Shou is a school setting is hilarious to me. 

the poor guy would like. on his first day pull a fire alarm. get in shit afterwards cuz his excuse was that he didn’t know what it did. but he genuinely Honest To God didn’t know what it did and it scared him so fucking bad he ran away 

He Will Not talk to his classmates. he has no business with them. they have nothing beneficial to him. 

but he latches onto ritsu because Obviously shou would make sure they go to the same school

his first gym class, he sends a guy to the hospital with a dodge ball. shou is banned from dodge ball 

he Must be the best at every sport. Basket ball? track and field? tennis? fuck dude they could play fucking cricket in class and he Has to be the best

he thought that, when you take books out of the school library, you just get to keep them. 

he never checked them out or anything. jsut walked in, saw a book with a nice cover or somethin about wrestling, took it and left. its his book now

no one noticed until all the animal books went missing

some snitch of a student mentioned that they saw shou walking out with a book on monkeys and ratted him out

they opened his locker to find like 200 books

shou is banned from the library

every school photo of him is blurry. like. he could be standing in a class photo and be the only one blurry in it

shou claims he doesnt do this but thats most likely a lie

random classrooms, some shou has never even had a reason to go into, have a picture of his face and big bolded text saying DON’T LEND THIS STUDENT ANY UTENSILS/PENS/PAPER/ETC

every class has a different reason

in one, he created throwing stars out of paper that were genuinely sharp and hucked them at people walking outside through the windows

in another, he conducted and ‘experiment’ with pen ink and dyed half the desks horrible brackish blue colours

no one ever sees him do work Ever but he always gets it done, hands it in right on time, and gets near perfect marks

the student council has put ritsu in charge of helping shou out and learning how the school works and getting him adjusted 

aka ‘your boyfriend is unruly please calm him down’ 

it Kind Of works???? in the sense that once rules and stuff are pointed out he Is aware of what does and doesnt go in school

doesnt mean he abides by them still

when he found the art room No One could get him out of there

as soon as he started an art project he would become hyper focused on it and no one could interrupt him. taking away his paints or putting his papers and utensils somewhere was a Death Sentence

Serizawa would bring him lunches during his breaks at the office and Shou would do the ‘ugh you’re embarrassing me’ routine but it’d always be like. in the middle of a class

he becomes that like. One Student in school everyone gawks at and admires but like. a combination of the mysterious kid and the jock kid

once in the middle of class, Shou was being weirdly quiet and looking down at his lap, sitting completely still

the girl next to him asked him what he was doing and Shou just leaned back and there was a massive guinea pig asleep in his lap

when he figures out that he can like. be in and make clubs Shou goes apeshit

he makes an Animal Lovers club and technically not enough people join but ritsu Makes Sure that the student council doesnt close it down because hes never seen Shou so happy and he Wont Let Anyone Ruin That

the same guinea pig girl looked over his shoulder at his sketch pad once and just. saw millions of drawings of ritsu. 

she complimented him on his art and Shou lit up 

“thanks! it helps to have such a gorgeous subject”

still thinking about that one Little Prince quote -- you are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed -- and about bingqiu.

Shen Jiu thought (paraphrased) that he could abuse Luo Binghe at will and not face any consequences for it. he found out in A Big Way that he was wrong. but at the same time, Shen Yuan made the same mistake in the opposite direction. he thought he could love Luo Binghe the way he wanted to love him -- to protect him, spoil him, treat him kindly, the way he always wanted Luo Binghe to be treated and never was in the canon -- and then, when the time came, simply sever that relationship. pretend it had never existed. both in his assumption that the story would continue on its canon track (it didn't,) and in his forming of the backup mushroom bodies (fake his death and leave, forever, and let things end there.)

and he also found out in A Big Way that he was wrong!

"Kill him."

i would love your madam yu thoughts please

I have to admit this was not someone I was expecting to be asked about! But I actually do have thoughts on her, because even though I never talk about him JC is in my top 5. And you really cannot engage with JC without engaging with his mother.

What I think YZY exemplifies is the way that in MDZS the narrative depicts nuanced characters without falling into the tedious trap of either condemning or endorsing them. It's not particularly interested in telling us whether YZY is a bad person or a good person, because it doesn't consider that kind of sweeping judgement helpful or even necessarily relevant; but that also doesn't mean it's taking a mealy-mouthed neutral position on her either. Her parenting style is presented as unambiguously wrong, both morally and in the sense that it is not achieving her desired result.

YZY is selfish and domineering. She tears down both of her children, and neither of them will ever be good enough. She actively targets WWX. But this behaviour is firmly situated in context: she's from a clan where women hold a lot of power; she's frustrated with her husband's behaviour; she's frustrated that her son is outshone by WWX; she's concerned about WWX's power and attitude and how that could destabilise the Jiang. All of these are sensible and realistic motivations, and her concerns are presented as legitimate even as her way of dealing with them is highlighted as both harsh and counterproductive.

The text doesn't let YZY off the hook for her behaviour. She's not redeemed or 'good, actually' just because she does ultimately love her son and because she's in a frustrating position. But she also isn't condemned as an irredeemable abuser either. What should be taken from that is not that it's not worth discussing the good and the bad she does. It's just that it's vitally important to remember that morality is not the only metric by which a character should be analysed or responded to. What I like about YZY is that I have a very clear sense of who she is, why she is who she is, and why she does everything she does—all of which drives the plot forwards and enriches our understanding of more central characters such as JC and WWX.

MWAH!

binghe fights sqh and he gives no indication at being powerful or with martial ability. he realises his mistake in approach. sqh makes himself small, pathetic, and easy to bully so that he is underestimated and ignored. fighting a PERSON will only increase that. well thats fine. mobei he's gonna toss ur human into a deathmatch against beasts rq ok? u wanna watch? if he gets too out of his depth you can step in he wont stop you but he knows you ALSO want to know what that little THANG is capeable of. nature doc mobei and binghe watching sqh in some demon forest. the wild qinghua, pressured out of its natural habitat. without greater predators to form symbiotic relationships with he must fend for himself. there comes the sunburst scorpion tailed bear goat- we shall soon see how the qinghua- OH HOLY SHIT HE RIPPED ITS HEAD OFF MOBEI YOUR SCRUNKLY RIPPED ITS GODDAMN HEAD OFF

THEYRE TAKING HIM OUT OF HIS NATURAL HABITAT AND SPYING ON HIM OH this is good

He didn't know he was capable of it either
