Here are some bnha ending implications about the League of Villains that drive me crazy:
We don't know if Touya thought Spinner and Mr. Compress were dead too.
Tomura never knew Twice was dead.
Touya and Tomura never knew that Toga tried to shapeshift into them and cried 'cause she couldn't :(
Mr. Compress last saw the LOV while he was trying to save them / help them reach a safe place. Next thing he was told is that most of them were dead.
Even if Touya was still alive long enough for Spinner to publish his book/comic, I doubt someone read it to Touya.
Since Toga showed up as Twice in the final battle, we don't know if Giran was aware of Twice being dead previous to that occasion or if he thinks Twice died at war there.
Although Kurogiri said that Tomura's friends were waiting for him, Tomura never saw his friends again.
They don't even know Tomura considered them his friends.
They don't know that part of the reason why Tomura died is because between the offer to change and forget his friend or stay behind and keep their memories, Tomura refused to be anything else but the villain's hero.
Most of them didn't get to hear Compress revealing his identity.
Toga "died" happily to save a friend, just like Twice did for her.
The last time most of the LOV saw Tomura, he wasn't himself / was possessed by AFO.
While the LOV's job was to sacrifice their lives for Tomura, it ended up being the other way around. Tomura died in their names and they got to die however they wanted.
Touya doesn't know Toga kept his words in her heart and got to smile again <3
All of them were doomed by the narrative.
The League of Villains has by far some of the most painful or torturous deaths in the whole series.
The villains have far better healing technology 'cause they somehow managed to save Dabi from being almost completely burnt, while he was doomed to die after the bnha finale.
Being part of the LOV was the highlight of most of its members lives.
Tomura probably doesn't know how much Kurogiri saw him as his own son.
Kurogiri probably doesn't know how much Tomura loved him, despite hiding it.
Spinner was probably never told Tomura's real story, so his version of the story will be forever incomplete. Even when he's Tomura's canon best friend.
Tomura saw his family die in front of him as a kid, but he died far away from all his friends.
Touya probably thought he was the last one of them to die.
Despite being called weak all his life, Spinner has to carry the burden of being the one and only last survival of the LOV.
dabis older brotherness matters to me. toga would sniff that shit like a shark to blood
I think after listening to Caramel on loop the only thing I can add to the discussion is just how we as a fandom can do better. Yes respecting the band's privacy is absolutely what everyone should be doing and is also the most basic thing you could possibly do.
But after Caramel we need to do more, more than just telling other people to feel ashamed or to do better.
If you see people spreading their real names or pictures of them unmasked? Block them, I'm so serious. Stop giving these people views and engagement, don't argue, don't retweet or comment with something you think is a scalding or witty clapback, banish these people to the fandom's shadow realm. If you really need to confront them at most tell them that what they're doing is weirdo behavior before blocking them.
And this part is know is going to be controversial but I need you dear reader to stay with until the end. Call them out, post their usernames, tell people who these weirdos are. "Oh I don't want them dog piled or harassed" I don't either but guess what? The fandom should know who these people are so they can also block them. Not naming the people who decide to disrespect boundaries is only protecting the weirdos and they don't deserve it. Do you hear me? People who doxx the very people they say they're fans of don't deserve protection from the fandom.
Throw those weirdos out.
And if you really don't like confrontation go to the band's socials and drown out the weirdos with your love and appreciation.
Vessel has done all that he can by asking for people to let him remain anonymous and now writing and releasing Caramel. Now I think its really time for the fandom to put its collective money where its mouths are. If you really want to fight and protect Vessel (and the other of course) then this is the best way to do it. Caramel needs to be the line in the sand that the fandom says "no further, we're done with this and if you want to cross this line then we're going to push back."
