did you ever consider becoming a literary writer rather than a fantasy writer? w

I don't think I ever wanted to be anything more than a storyteller and a writer. Other people can decide where the books get shelved.

BNHA 362 SPOILERS AHEAD

I was reading comments about Bakugo on tiktok/twitter and I thought damn they sound like edgy middle schoolers trying to sound cool - then I realized they probably are ahahah

I really liked the chapter. I don’t think he’s gonna come back, I think he’s gonna stay dead cause of the signs we got in the previous chapters (Hori closed his arc making him apologize properly to Izuku) and the way he’s drawn in this chapter. Bakugo’s close ups were so good, epic and super detailed, and Hori specifically drew the heart crumbling/exploding into pieces. I don’t see why bothering to do so if he was planning to bring him back, he could at least have avoided the heart panel or he could have drawn him laying with the face down instead of showing us his lifeless face. I don’t know how to explain it, but his panel-drawing decisions make me think this death is for good.

I’m okay with this death, honestly. People say he needed an epic battle before dying but I think BNHA its not a stereotypical shonen, it has seinen touches, and this is an example. Its not realistic that Bakugo gets to fight so much, being a teen with a quite simple power, despite how powerful and good at using it he is, when even the nr 1 American hero failed. He had his role in the story, a very important one, and probably will still have some influence cause we got clear hints he’s connected to the nr 2 holder.

His death could give so much to the story. Deku will be crushed by grief, pain and guilt for being too late. This will probably be the last drop before he unleashes the top level of OFA.

Bakugo’s death will affect class 1A, bringing them all together, and I think it will also be a terribly painfulmoment for Aizawa and All Might.

He’ll be the symbol of the war against AFO, and parallel Izuku’s path: while Deku came from the dirt to become the most powerful, Bakugo came from the top and ended up dying to gain some time for Deku to come fight AFO, leaving his pride and sefishness behind, finally understanding his friend’s struggle.

Truly an extraordinary character writing from Horikoshi sensei.

I have something to tell France about Eurovision 2022.

As an italian, I have a love/hate relationship with France, mostly because our countries are good in the same fields (art, food, wine, fashion)… but you’re even more famous than we are ahahah. You’re like a big brother to us, we always roast you, but we’ll fight anyone outside of Europe that tries to do the same.

Now, that being said, one of the reasons we criticize France is because they often stick to the Paris-Tour Eiffel-Voila-Oui-Croissant stereotipical image and never try to show something different about their country.

This year Its the first time I was actually super proud of France’s Eurovision entry. You sent a song completely different from the usual classic french ballad, and you even used breton! I was in total awe, especially because I’m actually a fan of French literature and lately I’ve read Mathias Enard, who gave me a magical idea of rural France and I’d really like to see some of the less famous faces of french culture.

I’m so angry Fulenn didn’t get much votes. The message that passed is that we only like France when it’s classic Paris stereotyped France, so I wanted to tell you that this is not the truth, at least for one person out there. I think you have much more to share with the world than that! Please, France, I’m sorry eurofans and the juries failed you, but don’t give up on your more creative side ❤️🇫🇷

shadow and bone fandom i need to talk to you-

Sympathy? Guys, the only other song in the top 5 that could compete with Stefania was In corpore sano, but it isn’t as catchy. Space man is a super basic pop song. Chanel is a great performer, but ESC is a song contest, not a dance one (and besides, Kalush Orchestra’s show was even better than Chanel’s in my opinion). You really think that the musically bland booty hypnotic song is better than a folk-hip hop song about nostalgia for a mother, with a super remarkable refrain and an iconic flute tune?

If Ukraine didn’t win, the winner would have been Space Man, and Stefania is simply better.

PS: I’m happy Serbia got a lot of public votes, and sad about Moldova, Norway and France cause they deserved better. I hope the countries wont go back to basic pop or boring ballads in english after seeing that the national juries always vote for that kind of songs and rarely for traditional and creative ones.

Post Second Semi-Final Thoughts

I can’t believe what I’m going to say but… I am obsessed with Sheldon Riley. Australia 🇦🇺, I swear I’m in the ballad hating club but this man has the most beautiful voice ever. I don’t care what he says, I just genuinely enjoy listening to him sing. And don’t even get me started on the outfit… He is the best dressed of Eurovision 2022, no doubt. So elegant, unique, iconic. His jewel mask, the rings, the nails… I love him.

Hellooo Georgia 🇬🇪??? Your guys are great! I kinda expected that they wouldnt pass cause their genre is not commercial enough, but I personally liked their song, their looks were creative and they put on a good show. This was so much better than last year’s entry.

🇫🇮 Finand, I’ m not a fan of The Rasmus or Jezebel, but this song sounded a lot better live. I’m happy for them!

I don’t really get In corpore sano, but I’m weirdly fascinated by 🇷🇸 Konstrakta’s performance. I wanted her to be a finalist, but I was afraid people wouldnt vote for her, so I’m happy to be wrong.

Honestly don’t get why 🇦🇿, 🇵🇱 or 🇸🇪 qualified, I find their songs basic and boring.

I loved Achille Lauro’s 🇸🇲 performance, but I always tought he is not a good music writer or singer, so I think it’s okay that he didn’t pass.

Romania’s 🇷🇴 song is so bad it makes a full circle and becomes iconic. For realllll

I like Lights Off 🇨🇿 Its catchy and has a nostalgic sound.

Ms Macedonia 🇲🇰 is hot. Do I like the song? Not really, but she gave me chill vibes and bisexual panic so I consider myself satisfied.

Emma Muscat 🇲🇹 gave us an amazing performance, her voice is perfect and her looks angelic… but the music and lyrics were so basic it could have been a kid’s song for the Zecchino D’Oro (Italian Eurovision for kids)

I think Andromache 🇨🇾did good. She is really greek goddess level beautiful, and the song was okay. Definetely better than some ballads that made it for the final. (talking about you, 🇦🇿 and 🇵🇱)

I liked Brooke’s 🇮🇪 look, very Winx Bloom, but her song was as basic as Malta’s for me.

Montenegro 🇲🇪 was just… forgettable, I guess. Sorry, it’s sweet that she wrote that song for her mum tho ❤️

Listen closely: The only chance Italy has to win again Eurovision it’s LIBERATO. Our spanish brothers know what I’m talking about. 👀

Post First Semi-Final thoughts

Protect 🇦🇲 Armenia’s lovely singer, she gives Lumineers vibes ❤️

I didn’t like 🇸🇮 Slovenia’s song very much but it honestly wasn’t bad either, and the band did an amazing job, given that they’re so young. I’m sad they didn’t pass.

I’m Italian so I’m basically built to roast 🇫🇷 France, but I have to admit this year’s entry is good. No boring ballads with basic french lyrics, just pagan witchy vibes. I love it!

I didn’t expect 🇲🇩 Moldova to pass, even though I voted for them ahahah. I was afraid people wouldnt like their folk crazy show, I’m super happy I was wrong.

On the other hand, I was so sure 🇱🇻 Latvia would pass!! People really didn’t understand a word of their song and didn’t watch their music video for sure. Also, I think they were penalized cause they were on stage so early, probably many people forgot them, just like 🇦🇱 Albania.

I am ready to fight anybody saying that 🇺🇦 Ukraine is getting pity votes. Among all the boring ballads, their song is so catchy and unique! They deserve to be in top 5 at least!

The only ballad I really liked was 🇳🇱‘s. Her voice was amazing and dutch sounds so good.

The songs I liked less were 🇭🇷 and 🇨🇭. Not bad, just… forgettable, I guess.

Before seeing her on screen I thought Monika Liu 🇱🇹 was a lot older! Her skin looks flawless, she’s this year Barbara Pravi, so beautiful and elegant. Her dress was my favourite.

Greece 🇬🇷 singer looked beautiful too with her Kate Bush/Greek goddess look.

At this point, I would be happy if either 🇳🇴, 🇺🇦 or 🇲🇩 won.

I don’t think 🇮🇹 Italy has a real chance to win cause I’m seeing a lot of haters, especially on Twitter. It’s bad reading so many people disliking Mahmood and Blanco‘s attitudes when Mahmood is just introverted and Blanco is nervous cause he’s very young. However, I think it’s another country’s time to shine and even tho I like Brividi a lot, there are better songs, in my opinion.

I’m so sad eurofans are disappointed. Italy tried hard to reach ESC’s standards, even tho the majority of people didn’t even know what ESC was until Maneskin won. We never had a show with a stage like that or english speaking hosts, so I was actually impressed that they managed to do something similar to a standard Eurovision edition. I never expected us to be the best hosts (i was so anxious for Laura and Cattelan’s english), but while I was watching the show I was relieved, I don’t think we could have done much better. Thats why I felt bad reading all those negative comments. I mean, we did our best, but for many eurofans this the worst edition ever…

Latvia… Me and my crush on Citi Zeni’s blonde singer are crying right now

The only explaination for this is that the majority of voters were elderly people that couldn’t understand the hilarious lyrics
