Trying to convince myself to draw transformers but I can't fully convince myself to actually draw them.. now all I do is obscure them with a shadow or only show some of their body parts...... Man...

OMFG

I JUST REALIZED

When people say "your boys can swim"

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ADULT STUFF

I THOUGHT IT WAS LITERAL (kinda metaphorical)

I WAS SO CONFUSED WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT

I thought "swimming? What does your children swimming have to do with this situation?"

WHO CAME UP WITH THIS STUPID IDION???!?!!!??!!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Very true and this brings us to the cover of Bakugou reaching for kidzuku's hand.

That means, that in a very special way, Izuku IS saving Katsuki. He's this goal that Katsuki wants to reach, this person Katsuki wants to save and be saved by (to remember/return to the river moment all those years ago perhaps).

At least, that's what I think.

Thinking about the plot parallels in bnha again, this time as they relate to Izuku's goals--because he's had a specific goal for a long time, and it's not just being the number one hero. Saving is Izuku's half of heroism, after all, and yet from his perspective, it could be said that he fails in one continual regard: saving Katsuki.

It seems to start with the sludge villain. He doesn't exactly fail; he has a positive effect on the situation, at least physically, and Katsuki survives unscathed and more or less emotionally intact. From a literal standpoint, Katsuki has been saved, but Izuku isn't directly the one to save him (and is indirectly the one who put him in danger).

Then training camp happens, and Katsuki is a victim again. And Izuku is frozen there in the forest, unable to keep reaching for him. (And when he plots the rescue, he can't be the one to enact it.) Katsuki is rescued in the end, but Izuku doesn't save him before damage is done--because this time, Katsuki is physically okay, but the psychological effects make themselves known at Ground Beta.

Then there's the next time. Katsuki takes the hit for Izuku, and this time, although he survives, he sustains physical harm. It isn't as though Izuku can prevent this, but Katsuki's only there because Izuku told him about OFA, and is only putting his life in danger because of Izuku. From Izuku's perspective, he hasn't protected Katsuki.

And then there's the final battle, a bigger, more catastrophic reflection of what happened before. Except this time, Katsuki doesn't survive. And once again, Izuku hasn't saved him.

Izuku wins to save; saving is what motivates him. And although he's been victorious time and time again, he has never decisively saved Katsuki from a true threat. This is a pattern his entire life.

His entire life, because it didn't start with the sludge villain.

It started with the river. Katsuki didn't take his hand, and Izuku wasn't able to help him. It's the start of Katsuki's internal conflict with weakness and victimhood, and the start of Izuku trying to be there for him.

Katsuki has to contend with needing to be saved. Izuku has to contend with failing to save him.

The south-eastern region of Turkey was hit with a devastating earthquake of 7.7 magnitude on February 6 at 4 AM, when most people were asleep. The earthquake occurred along the Northern Anatolian Fault and caused significant damages to 10 cities in Turkey's south-eastern region, with over 1,000 collapsed buildings. It also caused significant damages in Syria since it occurred near the Turkish-Syrian border on the Northern Anatolian Fault and was felt across many countries including Lebanon, Israel, Greece, Iraq, Armenia and so on.

As of right now (13:15 PM) the official numbers show that there are over 1,000 buildings collapsed, 5,000 injured and more than 900 casualties. Unfortunately we know that these numbers will not stay the same, since most of the search and rescue operations are still underway, yet there are still many places search and rescue operators weren't able to reach due to damage caused in communication and highways. Extreme cold, snow and the fact that collapsed buildings are spread across a large region indicate that search and rescue operations will be going on for a long period of time.

Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) has declared Stage 4 Emergency nationwide, calling for international aid in search and rescue operations as well as humanitarian aid. There also have been contacts with the EU Emergency Response Cooperation Centre, the White House and many other governments for further help.

As of right now there are nation-wide calls for blood donations, and even though the main focus is on the search and rescue operations, calls for donations of food, blankets, baby formulas, diapers, pads and tampons and protective gear have already started to appear. If your government is planning on sending aid to Turkey, reach out and ask if there is anything you can donate as long as they are clean and in one piece. Remember that it is mid-winter in Turkey and it is currently snowing in most of the affected cities, people have gone out in fear in slippers and pajamas so everything that can be donated counts.

If you are able to contribute to monetary aid, please check if where you are planning to donate is an accredited organization whether it is national, regional or international. If you are able to do so, even 5 dollars is worth more than you can imagine (you can check the exchange rates by simply typing them to the Google search bar). As of right now there are a few organizations accepting monetary aid, such as the Turkish non-profit Ahbap (their twitter), but if anyone is interested I will update this post for more links for donations.

If you are in no position to do any of those things, please, please share this post with others however you can. Twitter is flooded with information spread about those under rubble and collapsed buildings and places where rescue hasn't reached yet. People are panicked and the roads are blocked, and because of weather conditions no civilian flights are allowed to and from the affected areas. There have been over 60 aftershocks, the highest being M 6.6, and some of them caused more damaged buildings to collapse.

Please also remember that Syria is in a similar position, and because of the civil war the humanitarian aid is stretched out even thinner. It is crucial to be able to gather as much international aid as possible, especially in the first 48-72 hours.

The effects of an earthquake of this magnitude in a single city would be devastating on its on, yet right now Turkey is dealing with 10 significantly damaged disaster zones. Please believe me when I say that any way you can help we will be grateful for.

Ma just showed me $2 bills and honestly i'm not ready to face the world tomorrow. What am i supposed to do with this information? It just...makes no sense...😕
