you all don’t understand how insanely s2 tododeku is. breaking every bone in your arms just to convince shouto to fight fairly with the fire that’s HIS? absolutely insane. izuku smiling when he sees the flames for the first time? he’s out of his mind. shouto giving up on beating bakugo, but izuku calling out to him and his flames just RESPONDING to the call? and later, shouto answering izuku’s call against stain without a second of hesitation? oh, i know they were completely obsessed.
Why the fuck is Horikoshi acting like Bakugou's the fucking victim of Midoriya, who is 'just getting feeling back in his arms,' losing One for All?
Why should Midoriya be comforting Bakugou about anything right now? He still has his quirk(hell it evolved, stronger than ever once he gets through physical therapy), all his limbs, the chance to be a real pro hero not in war. Fuck, even Mineta had bandages over his eye last we saw him. Wouldn't be the first time someone lost an eye. Mineta might've gotten worse injuries than Bakugou.
His parents are even in the hospital with him. We still haven't even met Hizashi and WHERE THE FUCK IS INKO? Oh, but Midoriya's sharing a hospital room with Toshinori so it's all okay. No, just no.
Yet again Bakugou comes out on top and gets treated like the victim. I hate this shit.
A week. It's been a week since the battle, and Midoriya's just getting feeling back in the arms that got completely obliterated and just barely managed to get back, but no. Bakugou not having a rival is the fucking tragedy here...
It's Midoriya who got a taste of his dream just to have it violently ripped away, and what really changed? Did anything actually get better after all his sacrifice? Sure, All for One is gone, but what about the actual fucked up system that treats quirkless and people with 'villainous' quirks so terribly? Are Shoji, Koda, and Tsu still gonna have to worry about how people look at them?
the thing with dabi is that his actions speak louder than words. he contradicts himself every other sentence, which is common with trauma. he SAYS he doesn’t care about the league but he ran up like 8 flights of stairs (and he NEVER runs) just to try and save twice, and stated five seconds before he claimed he doesnt care about them that he was upset at his death (bc he wanted to use him, yeah yeah. personally i have no clue how twice would have fit into his plan so i think he was just bsing there but thats up for interpretation) and then right after said that h*wks should have focused on him instead of anyone else (ie. tried to kill him instead)
like... its pretty clear that he’s an unreliable narrator. he claims he’s just using the league for his own goals but why fight with them in the mla arc? they’re outnumbered, weakened, and lack resources. wouldn’t it make more sense to just join the mla instead? clearly he has some modicum of trust and care for the lov, even if he himself doesn’t realize it.
Yes! He definitely is the one person in the League who very obviously tries to keep a distance as shown when he is missing in big moments like when Magne gets killed and Compress loses his arm, but then despite the fact he never even met Overhaul, he helps take him down later on in the arc.
What's really important to note, too, is the fact that his biggest weakness is his own quirk and yet he fought Hawks to try and save Twice.
He clearly put a lot of faith in the League, considering he joined them after the only noteworthy achievement they had was the USJ incident. But even when their hideout was taken away from them and they had nothing, he still stuck around.
Yes, you can claim everything he does is because he wants to use them, but he's also shown on several occasions that he respects Shigaraki.
If you compare his usual speaking patterns with that in the broadcast in Japanese, he speaks really polite instead of having that typical rough way of speaking. Dabi is his villain persona. He literally admits that everything he's done was to ensure making Endeavor fall as hard and deep as possible; not just by boosting Endeavor's career, but also by building himself up to be this awful villain.
If he wants to shock the world by showing that Endeavor's own son has become a villain, he can't just be a random criminal, he needs to be a big threat.
And I think to him being rough with everyone and keeping a distance is part of that. Besides, we saw that he is willing to die during this, so what's the point in trying to build up a relationship, when you're gonna die soon anyway?
The problem is that it's natural to form a bond. People, the more you learn about them, become a part of your life. They make their way into your brain, whether you want them to or not.
Besides, people have an easier time getting close to those they can relate to, so the League all being people who have been through a lot of pain, who have been judged, pushes away, and hurt all their lives? I think even if he tries really hard not to, he can recognize himself in them, too, and wants to save them because he would want to be saved also.
And can I just say I like that first piece of evidence you gave? Dabi's love language is running up multiple flights of stairs!
post epilogue todoroki has longer hair and looks more like rei and u can’t change my mind. not to mention how badly dabi and hawks were dealt with :(
So I am once again back for another annoyed/ angry rant this one fueled by insomnia, rage and my incessant inability to make my mind shut up when I'm supposed to be trying to sleep.
I've written a bit about this topic already but god do I absolutely loathe that Horikoshi decided to give Izuku a quirk have him live his dream for under 2 years only to have the quirk ripped away in the most bloody brutal unnecessary way possible, have Izuku graduate with the rest of his peers and then immediately have him go into teaching and have all his friends move on with their lives without him. Only for Bakugo to waltz in with that mech suit and offer him a place at his agency. It's disgusting and I hate it. Also there's no way in fuck anyone can convince me that Bakugo is the main person who paid for that. Like hell! And on top of that offering Izuku a place at HIS agency after giving him the suit!? That screams yet manipulation on Bakugo's part! It's giving "hey so I know I've treated you like shit and no one's really had much to do with you in years but I'm giving you this opportunity and hey you should join my agency so you have to spend even more time kissing the ground I walk on," vibes and it disgusts me. The only things Horikoshi did right in that finale/ epilogue were Shoto's rank being what it is though his updated look left much to be desired so points off for that, Bakugo's rank being 15 and likely to fall because of his attitude and Izuku turning down Bakugo's offer of joining his agency. Other than that the finale was shit and I'm livid at how badly Izuku was treated. And no one will EVER convince me that Shoto and Izuku haven't spoken much in years! Those two are best friends if not boyfriends and I will die on that hill!
Vent art
so much of the horror genre is informed by the metaphor of queer/transness as monstrousness. especially emphasizing the amount of horror that depends on the audience's repulsion at seeing a human body changing into a new, other body. I Saw the TV Glow is about the horror of NOT transitioning. the horror of static. the horror of looking into yourself and being terrified of what you see. the horror of seeing who you are and choosing to do nothing about it. the horror of looking away. and by god is it terrifying.
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
