"Ochako's Healthy Friendship Vs The League's Unhealthy Friendship" You Want To Assimilate Into Middle

anyways i really do want dabi and rei to meet face to face and her start crying and him tenderly lifting her chin before putting on some big sloppy grin and telling her how miserable of a creature she is and then proceed to set her ablaze. King. bonus if it’s in front of the rest of the family.

Can anyone in the League speak English?

BNHA is obviously set in Japan, but many villain fans speculate if any LOV members speak English as well. Here are my thoughts about it as an English as a Second Language teacher.

Shigaraki– Based on his upbringing, I'd say he probably has a damn good grasp on reading and writing in English, possibly even listening comprehension, but he has no conversational ability whatsoever. As someone who intended to take over the whole world, AFO would've wanted his heir to know English. However, Tomura's extremely secluded childhood meant that he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to converse in the language or work on his pronunciation.

Dabi- Little to no ability. His education stopped at early middle school a decade previously. He might still be able to say "Hello. My name is Touya. I am from Japan. Do you speak Japanese?" if he'd had those stock phrases beaten into his head during his education.

Toga: See Dabi. She might have a few more phrases memorized since she's more recently out of school than Dabi is. "My favorite color is red. I am 14 years old."

Twice: No ability. Like Dabi and Toga, he also dropped out in middle school. He's older than they are, though, so he's had more time to forget anything he'd learned at school.

Spinner: Shockingly, I think he's the most likely member to be decently fluent in English. If I remember correctly, he finished high school and therefore had at least 3 more years of formal English education than the rest of them did. He's also a young guy who plays video games, which in my experience is a demographic that rapidly gains English skills from playing online with Americans. Shigaraki is explicitly said to have only played solo, but Spinner could've played online. His English conversation skills are probably really good and he's learned every curse word and slur that there is, plus a bunch of idioms. He might not be great at reading and writing in English unless he joined Discord or Tumblr or something.

Compress: Unknown. He's been out of school for a long time, but it seems like a random skill that he'd have.

pssst. while forgiveness is an option that the survivor can make for their own sake, the way it’s written in bnha is not a good handling of a forgiveness narrative. this is because all of the arcs dealing with forgiveness have so far been narrated through an abuser’s thoughts, prioritizing his hopes and unfulfilled desires (desires that are unfulfilled because of his abuse), rather than the emotional journey of his victims. shouto started softening his stance not when the story explored shouto’s thoughts, but when the story began exploring the thoughts of his abuser. as a result, what happens on the page is the abuser stops abusing and starts to feel bad, and therefore shouto begins to have a more positive relationship with him. rather than forgiveness resulting from a survivor coming to terms with his abuse and making the decision to forgive for his own peace of mind, the forgiveness is primarily framed as the abuser doing and feeling things, and therefore forgiveness happens. shouto does not make a decision to start forgiving; his abuser makes a decision and gets forgiveness in return.

forgiveness can be an empowering decision when made by a survivor with their full agency. its portrayal in fiction is not always empowering, especially when the narrative focuses on the feelings and thoughts of the abuser over the survivor. that is propaganda, plain and simple, particularly when we as a society already vastly overestimate the importance of an abuser’s feelings both in general, and in relation to stopping their abuse. in a social climate that already promotes forgiveness—not for the sake of the survivor but for the abuser—it’s difficult to write about forgiveness in a way that won’t be taken as modeling the behavior of “good” victims. we cannot treat characters like independent human beings, who all make “valid” decisions in response to their abuse. how are their decisions framed? who are we being told to sympathize with? who is being prioritized narratively? we can’t engage in discussions about representations in fiction without considering these kinds of questions.

Happy birthday Spinner.

He deserved a spot on the MVA promotional art

Twice was my main man inside the Recovery zine ( @recoveryzine ) and this is the whole piece for it, thank you for buying the book!! Leftover copies will be up soon so keep an eye on it!

Опять мемы калякаю

In pinterest I found a photo with kids sailor dresses and thought about Todoroki children.

this is actually like redraw of my old fanart from 2021, when I had just started watching the anime (haven't read the manga) when I drew them. So I didn't know their age gap, that touya in this age allready had white hair and of course didn't know about their height difference

i’m here for the LOV being chaotic dumbass but i think this arc is just more proof that hori has nothing to say about the politics of the world he created and that makes both the values of the protag and the antag extremely fucking dull
