When the idol event first dropped in JP, I lost my mind over the part where Medb puts her lipstick on Ecchan and have been meaning to draw this meme ever since

anyway so i’m rereading Villain With a Crush / Pure Villain and noticing some parallels between Han Doryeong (pictured left) and Tesilid (pictured right). hear me out for the next (checks watch) uhhhhh,

so both of them could be considered the face of their institution (doryeong more so since he’s practically a celebrity, tesilid on account of him being the Wielder of the Holy Sword)

both were taught and conditioned (?) from a young age— doryeong got his abilities as a newborn and was IMMEDIATELY on the special police radar because he was super strong. tesilid was taken in as one of the sacred sheep as a little orphan child and branded with the stigmata.

both of their powers exceed those around them (doryeong: woah, TWO POWERS?? tesilid: seven deadly sins and heavenly virtues let him power up)

ultimately, they are both somehow victims of their institution. doryeong’s been the best special officer practically since he was old enough to walk. he’s always been the hero, always been the people’s bastion of hope. for the longest time, he’s been burdened with the knowledge that if he ever falters or shows weakness, the people around him will lose their faith in the special police force. he has to win every battle / save every person / etc / etc. all the while, he’s haunted by the question: if he’s ever in danger, who will come to save him? now objectively tesilid has it worse; his childhood was stolen by the vatican treating him like a weapon and a tool to their own ideals. his hands were stained red with the blood of people that the vatican branded as heretics, inhuman, people that weren’t people at all but evil things meant to be purged. his morality struggled against the path he was forced into (it only gets worse during his regressions, of course).

both of them put on façades. for one reason or another, they have to act like pure, upstanding people (who are NOT undergoing a single mental health crisis, thank you very much). doryeong because he can’t let the public down despite his own fears (see above), tesilid because he feels he can’t risk showing that side of himself to ailette (because of that #sweet fear of rejection)

and both of them eventually meet a person (rosa, ai) who sees them as they are (debatable but it’s about the effect not the intention) and is powerful enough to protect them. when doryeong is in danger, who will protect him? rosa, who shatters an entire building headed straight for his face. tesilid forever wishes for a healer? no worries, ailette was studying a decade specifically for this. after forever being the hero now it’s THEIR turn to get deus ex machina’d. they don’t have to be the strongest person in the room or a smiling cutout. they have a chance to experience new things! smile genuinely! perhaps even… be a little bit jealous for once?? damn i never knew they had it in em.

doryeong and tesilid are different characters with different experiences and vibes. they’re not even set in remotely similar worlds. still, it’s difficult for me to not spot the similarities when they encompass so many tropes/archetypes i love (e.g. guy experiences genuine compassion for the first time, 10 dead, 27 injured)

Momo,stifling her laughter while scrolling on her phone:Woah,i'm happy people love me as Spiderwoman so much but the thirst comments are getting a little out of hand

Hobie:Can't be as ridiculous as mine

Momo:*Raises her eyebrows as a silent 'show me'*

Hobie:*Looks for something on Gwen's phone he's borrowing and shows it to her*

Momo:*Blinks slowly*Well.....Those,um,sure are words.In a language that i suppose exists

When did rei realise that her son was drowning in drugs? Did he have an accidental overdose like at natsu’s birthday party when she was near or did he just admit to it while conversing with her? im so curious abt these little details, u seem to do such a great job at humanising fictional characters

anon first of all i love u thank you so much for your compliment omg!!! it really made me smile so big hehe (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) i am always so flattered and excited when someone wants to know more about the lil worlds i’ve created; they’re so special to me and they mean so much to me and i love them with all my heart, and i love being able to share them with you!!! i’m always super excited to talk about them!!!

this is a phenomenal question and something i haven’t actually thought much about before you brought it up! touya’s drug use definitely goes on for a LONG time before rei begins to clue in on it; especially since touya is so meticulously organized and hellbent on keeping his private life private. he’s in his early twenties when his drug use is discovered.

she’s actually a bit shocked when she finally finds out, to be entirely honest. touya had been exhibiting some signs of use; his pupils were always either pinpricks or the gaping size of the moon, he constantly had the sniffles, his pockets jingled with the tap of narcotics against plastic, and sometimes his speech would speed up considerably—a stark contrast to his usual apathetic drawl. but these are all tiny symptoms, and they’re easy enough to write off…until she catches him cutting pills on her kitchen counter, with one or her favourite knives.

her presence startles him; she isn’t supposed to be home for a couple hours, and he had only just stopped by for a minute or two between jobs, so he definitely isn’t expecting to bump into his mother. he doesn’t try to make excuses when she catches him, either. just kind of shrugs in a it is what it is type of way, sweeps his halved pills off of the counter into his palm, and brushes by her with a brisk gotta go, see ya later. she tries to confront him about it again, goes on about her disappointment and her concern and her fear, but touya’s never listened, and he isn’t about to start now. she’ll just have to accept it, just as she’s learned to accept everything else.

As a disclaimer my cooperating teacher was generally a very good person who tries. I don't by any means think she was a bad teacher. But.

For black history month she has them doing informational essays on african americans and I will tell you what, how she's doing it and how I wanted to design it based on that prompt are two very, very different things. And I think maybe the biggest difference is in this one instruction she gave me:

They're not allowed to write about any "law breakers."

Now my mind immediately fizzled to a stop. I had to do a hard reboot.

As she continued to talk about not wanting to kids to glorify crime or whatever, I realized that what she wanted was for them to not write about like, fucking Bill Cosby or something that would potentially get everyone involved in this project in trouble because parents love nothing more than to assume their children aren't on the internet and also aren't capable of rational thought, but that's not what she said. She said no lawbreakers. Which uh. I dunno how much you know about like. Black history in America. But.

Martin Luther King Jr? Broke the law. Rosa Parks? Famous specifically FOR breaking the law. Every single escaped slave, several of which were on her list of recommended topics? Yeah uhhhhhh they broke the law, fam. The law was that they were slaves. You can't try to teach a unit on black history and just conveniently ignore the fact that literally any civil rights activist they could write about would be a law breaker. It's a disservice to the kids' education and to black history to pretend otherwise and try to sanitize (lmao whitewash) the history and PRESENT between African Americans and the American legal system.

Another person on the list? Kobe Bryant. Ma'am, Kobe Bryant has a rather famous sexual assault case against him (involving a 19 year old) that kids would probably learn about while researching him. I'd honestly we rather just have the talk I'd planned about essay writing not being a moral judgment and let them have a good time writing about Bumpy Johnson or whatever.
