The Funny Thing About Tododeku To Me Is That They Are The Pair That Cuddles All The Time, Holds Hands,

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!

Rings with great Tododeku quotes 💍

I fully believe Twice was in it for friendship/family from the moment he met them

Some instances that I feel show how some messages in MHA are detrimental, especially on how victims react to their abuser, can be gauged by responses that tend to be highly prevalent in the fandom.

(Definitely not every fan, but a great majority).

Endeavor is a great example. Whenever you post criticizing his approach to atonement (and ultimately criticizing Horikoshi’s writing), you get BOMBARDED by people either belittling you for not liking his character or essentially forcing you to like his character by frantically writing “at least he tried” arguments.

If I have the CHOICE whether to forgive his character or not, especially given he goes through an atonement arc and not a redemption arc, why is any form of criticism about his abusive behavior and essentially his abuse of power practically ignored by the story unacceptable?

The message was detrimental because people operate on the notion that for victims to be good people, they must forgive and even help their abusers. MHA presents people who choose not to forgive him as either a monster (Toya) or inconvenient (Natsuo). And if they are still unforgiving, they must admire the abuser for doing the bare minimum (taking responsibility; this is also about Natsuo).

Essentially, they are considered "imperfect victims" because they weren't merciful in their approach to their abuser.

The majority of the fandom tends to ignore the lack of actual consequences for Endeavor's actions because he vows to talk to Toya every day. Insisting that doing the bare minimum, which is recognizing his son's existence and suffering, became his "hell" is a wildly fucked up message, in my opinion.

It harps on the issue mentioned above that if a victim isn't receptive to forgiveness or doesn't act "demure," they are seen as an inconvenience—which is how the Todoroki family ultimately views Toya.

On a less critical note, I'll vent, so if you don't like this, just ignore it.

I'm so fucking tired of stories depicting imperfect victims as people who deserve death and torture. Plus, having to be on the brunt of so many people acting like you're morally fucked because you're not impressed with how a writer handled abuse. Horikoshi is not the first writer to try to atone a character who is an abuser (and he isn't the first to fail at that, either).

I'm not about to dick-ride every decision every author makes. Especially if the message convinces some audience members that victims are inherently broken if they can't bring themselves to forgive and/or admire someone who hurt them.

Thank you for everything.

It was too hard to choose so I did them both

Donate to Help Eslam Save Her Family, organized by Victoria Beauchamp

My name is Victoria, from the greater Chicagoland area, and I am starting this fundraise… Victoria Beauchamp needs your support for Help Esl

“My name is Eslam from Gaza, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a children teacher from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. a mother of two daughters, Hanaa 5 years old, and Alma, 10 months old. My husband Rasmi is the director of 3 language and training centers. In this war, our house was completely destroyed and razed to the ground, and my husband’s centers were blown up. He lost his job, and we were completely displaced, and we are now homeless and jobless, My two young daughters constantly suffer from diseases due to malnutrition and water pollution.

Danger and death surround us all day and all night. We have lost everything and depend on donations to survive and, most of all, to have any hope of escaping this genocide and evacuating to safety in Egypt. The cost of daily living continues to rise significantly in Gaza - imagine that we cannot find the type of milk for our daughter because of its high price. There is no kind of detergent and this is the cause of skin diseases for my two little girls. We bought a piece of soap for $30! ، and detergent is 100$.

Attached for you are pictures of how our lives have changed since October 7th.

Please help. Any funds raised will be used in daily survival and if enough is raised, to be able to evacuate Gaza.

do you think this was the first time someone called shouto a kind person, and that's why he reacted this way?

shouto, who has been called beautiful, powerful, and strong, but never kind. who is often associated with his father's strength by other characters, but never with the gentleness of the love he felt for his mother. the one who was raised as a weapon against all might's success by his father. and izuku dares to look him in the eyes and call him kind, like no one ever had before.
