his family: ''how do i make this about me?''
i think a lot of fic writers who are trying to stay in-character would benefit highly from figuring out some characters’ senses of humor and just… letting them be funny in different ways. ime i’m taken out of the story not during the serious and angsty moments, but most often when the writer inserts a line that they clearly think is funny but just reads so completely ooc for the specific character—polar opposite of the char’s usual word choice and humor, that it almost always immediately pings me as “something the author inserted because they personally think it’s funny.” more often than not i can probably tell when it’s actually the writer speaking, not the character, and it happens a looot with humor.

horikoshi killing off magne was actually his way of validating her gender identity by treating her like he does every other woman in the series <3
Hm. Yeah. I think this may be an extension of me being a cynical hater but there’s a thin line ok not thin but fandom analysis really makes it seem this way lol in storytelling between “marginalization drives people to crime when society fails them” and “people with issues *wink wink nudge nudge* are inherently more prone to crime,” and I think BNHA leans more heavily on the second side than the first.
