dumb as shit

13 yrs. Touya under care of Ujiko [theory]

I really like hori Noumu design it a perfectly mixture of hideous and cute

————–

I don’t think Ujiko is a good person, he really twisted and a mad scientist type. but I think he have soft spot for all his creature [aka. noumu] like it his child/possession.

————–

I wonder if Noumu is cuddlable? or even comfortable to cuddle or not [but it made out of flesh so maybe it smooth for texture?]

so you’d rather the mla stick around as a sore thumb and the lov to stay broke and weak than for both to join forces, creating a definitive resolution to the my villain aca arc and consolidated threat for the heros? are you so against it being settled by a fight that you’d rather it be dragged out?

my feelings about the resolution to the mla arc are honestly mostly negative. i don’t feel like it makes sense for either side join forces (unless they plan on backstabbing each other, or unless hori is deliberately introducing a regression for the lov, which are all possibilities but lets take the resolution at face-value for the sake of this discussion). it’s been laid out since overhaul’s arc that the lov are tight-knit and value one another as comrades. even if you excise tomura out of the equation for his questionable/nebulous attitude towards relationships, twice and toga are very explicitly characterized as protective, and vengeful toward people who hurt one of “their own.” but at the end of the mla arc, they’re inducted into this organization which not only tortured and held giran for weeks, but also has no second thoughts about using their own members as canon fodder—which is, again, almost exactly what the shie hassaikai were like! if hori were going to have them collab with a shie hassaikai-ish organization later on, then why even bother drawing a comparison between shigaraki & the lov and overhaul & the yakuza?

on the mla’s side, their reasons for capitulating (at least as internally narrated by redestro during his defeat) are completely bs. the mla’s vision wasn’t just a nebulous conception of “freedom”; they had a specific vision of what that freedom looked like. they were a group who planned to rebel for the legalization of indiscriminate quirk use (defined as “freedom”), which is a specific, targeted, and limited goal; no amount of marveling at decay indicates that the logical progression is to embrace shigaraki’s desire for indiscriminate destruction. for a group of people who have largely benefited from the overall structure of society (they’re fucking ceos with some top heroes on call and shit ffs), it makes very little sense for them to buy into the utter unpredictability of shigaraki’s agenda just because he put on a very compelling live performance piece by curbstomping redestro. having two different visions of the future really isn’t a narrative conflict that should be solved by a physical fight, or at least not a straightforward a fight as this one.

like, i know it’s the Way of Shounen to have most things settled by a fight as an easy shorthand for interpersonal development. maybe the L is on me for feeling like the conflict could’ve been handled more satisfactorily & for ideology to actually interact in meaningful ways (even if it leads to one side renouncing theirs) rather than for the resolution to be a metaphorical dick slinging contest. sure, it’s true that it does all those things you said (consolidate a base for the villains, become a real threat, etc. etc.). it’s true that it moves things along, and i’m not against that. BUT i think that making these two particular villain groups ally with each other makes both of their characterizations worse: the lov bcs they’re turning back on earlier characterization from the overhaul arc, and the mla bcs it feels like they can’t fucking stick to a conviction. this wouldn’t be such a big problem if the mla were written differently from the start or, yes, if hori took more time to tell me why the fuck these guys aren’t still trying to kill each other, because tbh nothing about these two groups tell me that joining together is the logical conclusion.

I have issues with Tomura being called "Tenko" by fans, but I think I'll make a post about it rather than reblog some angrily-charged posts that I made while complaining about the chapter leaks

Also!! Feel free to unfollow me if I ever make anyone uncomfortable about my rant posts!! Even if it's a mutual break etc. I get it ngl. Especially since this MHA epilogue left the fandom so polarizing in the end. 💀

Spinner's fracturing morality VS the League of Enablers!

i remember when the bodysnatching happened and how hardly anyone else in the fandom (or what i saw of the fandom) seemed to find it as horrifying as i did. then the same thing happened again with the mind invasion. and yes the fact that the mind invasion happened at all and not even the story gave much of a fuck about the fact that it did is still one of biggest gripes with the finale

the joker 2 sex scene is exactly how i imagine spinaraki's first time went btw

Doodle

This is so unserious. A normal blood transfusion doesn't do that??? OFA is not that unique if Toga can just do transfers like that too. Lmao

how it feels like sometimes

realized i never posted this! my full piece for @bnhavillaintriozine done last year! they’re at a konbini bc that was what i was watching on yt at the time u_u convenience stores around the world..

what is it with hori writing adult woman characters thirsting after childeren, jfc.

Idk if you’re referencing something that happened in the new chapter since I haven’t read it, but I’ll venture a guess in saying it’s probably because he thinks sexual harassment is funny and because he possibly harbors a mild kink for dominant women whilst being extremely scared of them and not being capable of respecting them as people

I am browsing Reddit Dot Com

yr so right fr the tgchk/3rdwheel tsuyu thing...,.... 3rdwheel i think underrated dynamic HEARMEOUT. hear me out.

1ly i love me some drama espcially in my freakships.

2ly it can be very funny. recently read a fic where one girl is like "shes talkingshitaboutme. shes sooooooo talkingshitaboutme" and her friend is like "OoooKay" (psychologically revealing)

like yeah you are acting like a weird obsessive freak. ackshually. and its funny and i wuv it. yr friends dont want you to kiss but iiiiiiiii do

freakship exactlyyy i love togachako being completely abnormal abt each other and Tsuyu being caught in the crossfire

AND IK PPL HATE LOVE TRIANGLES but wouldn't it be so funny if Tsuyu did have a little girlcrush on Ochako at first but eventually she mostly got over it + assumed she's straight, only to find herself getting dragged along for thinly veiled dates between her best friend and the girl that tried to kill them 1000 times isn't that so silly

Touya using his last breaths to tell his family how much he hates them right after having a cutesy hehe haha vision of them actually being happy is the realest shit I’ve seen in a while

something something the primacy of the nuclear family and the nuclear family as the site of discipline/ responsibility/ duty/ redemption leading to this kind of dialogue imo

maybe i'll elaborate more but i think it ties into a lot of other parts of the series i still have to think through, like it's shown with toga's family, twice being viewed as an acceptable character sacrifice because of his lack of blood or emotional ties to any heroes, the narrative's unwillingness to explore the LOV as found family and instead turning around to the biological/nuclear family as the solution (especially for dabi and tomura).

in days before tragedy hits

ONE FOR ALL ┊ - do not repost -

“… Swimming with the fishes.”

reblogs >> likes!

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!

Spring themed Dabi! Because Spring is all about New Life and Rebirth, right? 😅 I guess this is a little bit to spite chapter 350. If the only thing keeping Dabi alive is his grudge, doesn’t that mean if he gives up on his revenge (or, “is saved”), then he’d just die…? :/ My fav parts of the drawing are the socks, the crystals and the little glass with the sapling. xD 

for spinaraki week day 3. we’re even now right?

bonus:

“what will we do without police to arrest child abusers?” well, you see, in the anime my hero academia, a few characters took it upon themselves to ruin a child abuser’s career, chase him down on the highway, and cut off his arms, all the while police guarded him, and i think that’s the real kind of grassroots bottom-up initiative we need to be looking into. it was an aspirational example of how justice could be served without involving police

King Pin

hopping on the quiz train with my which side BNHA character that I love are you? quiz ! pls take it i spent so long transcribing secret club lyrics for it and that is NOT an easy task
