Literally hate that dedue, the only dark skin team mate you get is so sub servient to a white male character and I feel like no talks about this,
hmm you're. absolutely right. i never actually thought abt it like that before. it really DOES give off white savior type shit... i know dimitri's whole thing is trying to get dedue to FINALLY see him as an equal, but youre right. the implications of it are very... bad. esp when it couldve been ANY other character in the game, but they chose to pick the black man? esp ESP when lorenz in one of the beginning chapters says that some nobility bullshit probably is even worse than slavery? like. lets be for real
also? i never rly thought abt it until now but like. of COURSE the regions outside of fodlan (almyra, duscur, etc) all have some sort of .... conflict for lack of a better word w/ the white man from the church right? of course theres people LIKE ingrid in faerghus that disdain people of duscur due to what happened. and of course people of the alliance are weary of almyrans too. LIKE. of COURSE realistically racism is going to exist, but to have both places have such huge conflicts and be portrayed as the "Evil" towards the primarily white area is a bit ............. bad. it's bad. fire emblem needs to be better. adding one person of color per house isnt going to magically make the game's own racism disappear. doesn't matter how much "discussion" they have surrounding it either, theres still bias and prejudice seen in the game itself
like they rly gave petra an irish last name? making people doubt that brigid is most certainly inspired by polynesia? they clearly did their research when designing her, so why didnt they do more when naming? it just doesn't make any sense.
and with shamir? she's from dagda but... what IS dagda meant to be? they just say shes from a foreign place and refuse to elaborate. but i suppose that's just petty of me to bring up, its just somethign that's always bothered me
and you're right that no one really talks about it. /I/ certainly havent seen much discussion surrounding it, but then again i dont necessarily go out of my way to search for it. but yeah. it deserves to be criticized
and maybe all that i talk abt doesnt even matter or its not a big deal or whatever but like. whatever man. i sometimes just want people of color to just exist in my silly fantasy video game. without Racism and the change everyone has to go through being their like. main arc

300 wasnt really about John imo. It was about Sam&Dean getting what they needed. Sam got to talk with his father and get closure on something that caused him a lot of pain. And Dean came to the realization that he's okay with his life and his choices, despite John. I thought it was great for the boys' characterization. Also, children of abuse often love their parents despite the abuse. I dont think they were saying John was a great dad, they were just portraying the relationship realistically.
No, it wasn't about John, but I disliked how his character was handled, but I hated even more that Dean didn't get a cathartic moment with him.
Sam kind of got a closure, bit this line really make me angry
Tumblr media
This is bullshit. You can see this gifset I made showing some of the abuse John did to both Sam and Dean http://inacatastrophicmind.tumblr.com/post/182654813823/spn-writers-john-did-the-best-he-could-me
I know that having an abusive parent makes things complicated. When you're a kid, you idolize that parent, even when they hurt you, and as you grow up, you develop conflicting feelings. You feel anger, hurt, frustration and fear, but also love, a twisted and a broken concept of love because said parent has been abusive to you, but once in a while shows you love, and you accept it, because you crave it.
But those rare displays of love don't compensate all the hurt that an abusive parent did and still does.
Look, I get that both Sam and Dean need to move on from their past, from all the shitty things John did to them. I get they want to forgive him, so they can let go of the past, but they also need to let out all that hurt, pain and anger they have been holding for so long, especially Dean, and I think the 300th episode did a terrible job at that.
For me, it felt like the writers just wanted to have John and they decided to forget all the awful stuff he did and act sympathetic. This is a man that brainwashed his kids to become soldiers, who didn't show up when Dean called him im s1, that didn't answer the phone when Dean was dying in Faith, a man who argued with Sam all the time and made sure to make Dean feel like crap every chance he got.
I wish the writers would have addressed John's past abuse instead of making everything feel like everything was okay when it wasn't. I wish that Dean would have had a cathartic moment. I loved that Dean said that he was happy with who he was, with who they were, but Dean deserves to let out all the shit regarding John he's been locking inside him for an eternity.
And also, John needs to hear about how much he hurt his sons, both mentally and physically, instead of being easily forgotten. Yeah, Sam and Dean need to forgive him to finally let it go and move on, but that doesn't mean they have to forget what their shitty dad did to them.

For the BnHA questions: all of them?
oh fuck this is so many dude,, okay
~ B A S I C S ~
1: What part of the anime/manga piqued your interest? i started watching it a year ago actually and stopped after episode 4 for some reason... but i think what got me wanting to actually see where it was going was a scene of the sports festival i saw in gifs. specifically deku yelling at todoroki.
2: Did you think Midoriya would be a good protagonist in the first few chapters/episodes? i loved deku from the moment i saw him
3: How do you think Midoriya’s conflict with Bakugou will end? i actually have never thought about this but i feel like it’ll be both bittersweet and comforting for both of them, in a way
4: What was your first reaction to Bakugou’s treatment towards Midoriya? “whos this jackass and why is he so mean to my son ill kill him”
5: What do you think of All-Might as a hero? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE IS THE BES T
6: Do you think that Midoriya deserved to get OFA? yes. absolutly.
7: Aside from Midoriya, which character in the series do you think has had the most character development? todoroki
8: Favorite unpopular character? there are really only 2 unpopular characters in bnha and neither of them are my favorites
9: Favorite overall character? BAKUGOU KATSUKI
10: Do you have any OC’s? Describe them! If you don’t, create one on the spot. yes i do her name is akarui fuurashu and her quirk allows her to flash bright lights from her fingers that temporally blind her enemies (and anyone looking at the flash). her hero name is Flashbang
~ S H I P S ~
Pink: What are your main/favorite ships? im a huge kacchako bakugou/uraraka stan, but coming in close second is tododeku. i also super otp kirishima/bakugou/uraraka and kirishima/deku/todoroki
Blue: Do you have any NOTPs? im not a fan of baku//deku or todo//momo at all.
Yellow: Favorite fanfiction about your OTP? Downplay It (Kacchako) and Prince & Prince (TodoDeku) both stole my heart and ruined my sleep schedule
Green: Any preferred rarepairs? kirishima/uraraka, uraraka/momo, shinsou/deku
Purple: Do you have any works centered around your OTP? ive drawn a lot of kacchako since getting into it, and im currently in the works of several kacchako/tododeku fics right now 
Orange: Fluff or Angst? why not both
Red: What do you like the most about your favorite ship? its the classic bad boy/good girl, “jerk” and “goody-two-shoes” trope that i eat up all the time, also their dynamic is so good i could talk about them for hours. also theyre just really cute together...
Turqoise: What do you hate about your favorite ship? how much hate it gets lol
Lavender: Does your ship get a lot of hate? If so, why? because it’s a “straight” ship, because people think bakugou is abusive and would be awful to her, just a lot of dumb bullshit
Grey: Realistically speaking, will your ship ever become canon? probably not since it’s pretty obvious uraraka is dekus love interest but i can fucking hope and dream all i want
~ T H E O R I E S ~
Pop: Do you think the “Dabi and Shouto are brothers” theory is true? i am so behind this theory ive screamed about this to all of my friends who would listen
Indie: Opinions on the Traitor Kaminari theory? the what
Punk: Opinions on the Traitor Kirishima theory? I HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING OF THIS BUT HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF MY SON AS IF HES DONE SOMETHING WRONG KIRISHIMA EIJIROU IS A GOOD BOY AND I WOULD DIE FOR HIM

~ S T U D E N T S ~

13: Dadmight or Dadzawa? dadmight
14: Whose quirk do you think is the most unique? shinsou’s
15: Aside from Midoriya, who do you think has the most potential to be #1 Hero? todoroki
16: Should Mineta be replaced by Shinsou in the hero class? i think shinsou should BE in the hero class but i don’t think he should take mineta’s spot, purly because i dont hate mineta. hes a 15 year old boy that looks like a grape calm down
17: Favorite student(s) outside of Class 1-A? bakugou, uraraka, kirishima, deku, todoroki, and momo
18: Any HCs for the entirety of Class 1-A? the girls have lots of sleepovers, usually at momo’s house because its huge. the first time todoroki gets a confession letter he gets so nervous he sets it on fire and the other guys freak out because they wanted to know. kirishima brings in festive treats for everyone around holidays.
19: Do you remember their seating arrangement by heart? no but i think deku sits behind bakugou
