I read through the manga for the first time recently (at least what's release in the US bc I prefer physical books to trying to read manga on a screen) and Spinraki kinda grabbed me by the balls ngl. The manga version of mva really sells me on Spinner's growing devotion to Shigaraki at a time where he seemed to be having doubts since it had drifted so far from Stain's ideology. Also gamer bfs playing LoL together and being dorks is just a really sweet thought. š
I totally agree with preferring physical copies of the manga over reading digital, it drives my brother crazy lol.
Spinneraki is such a good ship, I love it so much!
I was listening to music while I was drawing this and bunch of sad love songs started playing and looking back it definitely had an impact without me even realizing it until I got too far. It had a very different vibe when I started lmao
Oh well... enjoy some super soft Spinneraki on the house
There was a story behind this image but I'll just leave it up to you guys to come up with your own.
As Iām sure some may have noticed, Endeavorās got his arc going on, where after finally realizing how horrible he is and tries to become a better person. But a problem I & many others tend to have resulting from this arc is that lots of folks talk about how Endeavorās ādifferent nowā, how heās changing, and how that makes him so much better than Thief Takami or, of course, Dabi (ugh); and as a result I think itās important we to address is howā¦Bojack Horseman-y his attempts at changing have really been up until now. Think of it as in honor of Rei calling him out and hopefully forcing real progress out of him in the future, weāre going over his lack of progress so far.
So, letās look through all his most notable attempts at changing in comparison to what he was doing before that heās making up for, as well as anything else heās done that might reflect in some fashion on his redemption:
-We can start with Rei; the woman who he bought, sexually abused for about a decade, psychically abused for 5 more years than that, and then had locked up in a hospital for another 10 years and which she has only just left. He tried to make up for that by having her favorite flowers delivered to her room in the hospital he had her sent to. This is about the average of what we can expect going forward, btw.
-Then thereās Fuyumi & Natsuo, who he deemed failures and neglected so much throughout their childhoods that he appears like a stranger to them, who they know more by the damage heās done than any actual interactions. To make up for all that, he bought them a house to live away from him and not interact with him anymore, along with their mother when she leaves the hospital. (Not Shoto though, he still interreacts with Endeavor.) This is, unironically, the biggest and most selfless act of atonement he has committed thus far. All down hill from here!

also, the mark of great insight isnāt necessarilyĀ ānuance.ā great insight imo requires figuring out whenĀ āblack and whiteā positions might be appropriate and when they arenāt. there are no two sides when abuses are rooted in power structures, and acting like both sides are equally valid and worthy of consideration, or that neutrality is possible benefits the more powerful party. again, i donāt meanĀ ācollapse awful people into the category ofĀ āmonsterā and good/decent people intoĀ āhuman,āā but yeah sometimes you have to say someoneās motivations and feelings donāt matter compared to the harm they did.
