i think i got the major ones

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

Thoughts on Sublimation - Lesson

I really like how, despite Sublimation being treated as like a "nice" Akumatized "villain," there is a good lesson to be learned about the way Sublime's mother acts.

When Sublime's dad gets hit by Sublimation, he says, "I know you're strong, and you don't need mine or any's help! You can do this, sweetie!" This rivals his previous encouragement of it being okay to give up and that he will always love her even if she did, but it's CLEAR that these are the words she needs and prefers, considering her attachment to her dad.

The show is displaying exactly how blind encouragement and "You're so strong!" is NOT helpful. Sublime's mother pushes her past fear, and it only causes her to have breakdowns where she has to basically fight herself and yell at her fear.

I know I said in my previous post that Sublime being so flawless almost feels like they're doing the whole disability inspiration obsession BS, but the lesson here almost completely rivals that idea. "No, just because you're disabled doesn't mean you have to be strong and overcome all your fear and struggles! You CAN give up if it's too much for you!" This absolutely applies to everyone that you do not always need to be strong, but it can be especially comforting to the disabled who often feel as though they need to be as strong as possible to be worth anything.

I do feel like this whole self improvement culture thing can go too far where people are never happy with who they are and where they are because they’re constantly trying to be better or do better and they’re always waiting for some sort of glow up or achievement or therapy realisation that will make them feel complete but that isn’t real and life is actually in the every day

you have inherent value simply because you exist. your worth to the world around you is not dictated by how well you fulfill social norms.

you do not need to be "productive" to be appreciated. you don't need to change how you look to be loved. you don't need to censor yourself for your story to be heard.

there are more people on this planet than you could possibly know that would love to be in your company, exactly as you are now - people who would want to be your friend, hear your truth, see you smile, or explore life with you.

it's okay. you're okay. you may not feel okay, your life may feel like it's in shambles, the world may feel beyond fucked up... but you, as a living, breathing human being - you are enough.

anyone who tries to tell you different is just repeating and believing a lie - probably a lie they were told about themselves, too. it's not a reflection of you. ok?
