LOVELY

ok so the thing i need people to understand about OPLA chopper is that: HE’S BABY. i’ll elaborate

people are wondering why his antlers are fuzzy and maybe it’s because he’s actually a muppet but like. real deer antlers ARE fuzzy!!!

it’s called velvet and it helps bring bloodflow to the antlers as they grow and develop around springtime:

SO YES chopper is BABY. a growing boy

…deer also shed their velvet every fall, and it’s painless (like reptiles shedding skin) but it looks horrifying and now i’m imagining monster point chopper with these:

yuppp i figured velvet antlers were just universal to deer in general regardless of species!

buuut i just found out that water deer actually DON’T grow antlers. they have fangs though

"If Moonfish got out of the training camp arc, he'd have left the League of Villains"

And of the first post of this newest blog, I propose that theory to be...not actually likely in canon? Kinda?

It's easy to forget because Moonfish is...Moonfish, but the story does make his only real trait known quite well: job pride. He's constantly rambling about trying to do a good job for the League and keeping himself focused on it, in spite of his insanity. (Disregarding his job being kidnapping and possibly murdering/eating people at the time during the camp, we don't judge villains here xD).

He legitimately wants to be useful for his new team, and it makes me think he'd want to stick around to stay by them. Heck, the fact he still went out of his way to rejoin the League and the other Villains for the Second War, instead of just going off by himself to likely kill and eat random people, really suggests he's more team oriented than his demeanor would expect.

Of the 3M trio that's the most likely to leave the League if they were to have escaped, Muscular is really the only one I'd say would quit (though, I can also him being more of a loner type like Dabi - does what he wants most of the time, but will go back to the League if they need something to smash up).

ok so moonfish is like one of my favorite bnha characters and I'm genuinely so surprised someone else has brainrot for him. can u tell me some thought you have on him...... like what do you think hes like?

I've always had a theory that his quirk makes him only capable of eating humans. that he's been starved so much and for so long that he's gone insane over flesh and hunger. that fits really well with the themes of shiggys squad. what do you think is the reason for his insanity snd cannibalism?

HELLO HELLO i've been crazy busy, but every so often i open tumblr and stare gleefully at this ask. and now i can finally answer it!

From what I remember of MHA canon, Moonfish had made a pretty big name for himself in the villain world up to and beyond his first imprisonment. We can assume he possesses some degree of survival skill/intellectual capability, to the point where he's become so serious of a threat that death row is warranted. Even during Moonfish's intro at the training camp raid Bakugo and Todoroki comment on his use of terrain and how "he's clearly been in a lot of battles".

An aside: Ultra Archive initially rates Moonfish's intelligence as a 3/5 while Ultra Analysis later gives him a 1/5 :((( they revoked his braincells...

He probably CAN eat other things aside from people; they had to keep him alive in Tartarus for a while, and feeding the guy on death row Human Meat wouldn't be very ethical (not that the heroes have outstanding moral judgement anyway). From what we've seen of his body he looks to be in decent shape so they're not starving him either.

It's true that most of the LoV have quirks that influence their personalities/behavior (ex: Toga, Twice, possibly Muscular to an extent?), so Moonfish is likely in a similar situation. I'm not going to speculate on the details of his mental illness--my interpretation of him is largely based on my own experiences. Maybe the hunger is episodic, or maybe it wasn't as bad a few years ago or when he was younger and is now just spiraling. Maybe it's a stress-eating kind of thing. I think he never had access to the necessary resources/professional help/therapy/idk to help him navigate his quirk, and now it's "too late" and he's "beyond saving".

I suppose he's so loyal to the LoV simply because they respect him, more or less, as a person and a teammate. He's fixated with "doing his job" because that job lets him belong somewhere.

This is definitely outside the scope of BNHA main series but I like thinking about a little future for him, where he sort of drops off the radar and goes somewhere quiet and just, learns to live with himself.

I have loads more headcanons; if you're curious, just ask! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to wax poetic about my guy lol

the way i see it they’re less toxic for each other but this just makes them absolutely noxious to everyone else around them 😭 the two worst people you know are dating! congrats

you can listen to any of the tracks and instantly tell what’s going on in that scene bc all the character themes and motifs are so clearly established. there’s a dedicated guitar riff for restaurant scenes, an ominous chime sequence whenever luffy falls into seawater, the janky piano melody for bink’s sake/moments when the crew are all together… all tied by some reprise of We Are! or Wealth Fame Power that plays at least once every episode. the music is so consistent and so present that it tells the story too

SO GOOD. AAAGH

also sonya belousova and gionna ostinelli have apparently been watching one piece since they were kids. the power of fandom continues to scare me
