#I just don’t want him to be dead ok

[hawkssucks]

This is a genuine question, why do you think that Hawks’s appearance in the vestige realm is bad story wise?

Ok this is probably my bad for verbally vomiting over these leaks. I’ve had some time to calm down so I think I can put it into words now

I don’t think his appearance is bad story-wise. Yet.

It feels more like.. it could potentially be bad. Though there’s no way of knowing until MHA ends.

First fear: he’s dead.

A little weird to me that he’s able to talk and has visible pupils while nobody else does. While it’s possible AFO’s stolen quirk vestiges operate differently than OFA’s. Or maybe it’s just special main character privileges. We haven’t seen Ragdoll yet, either. If Hawks is dead and this is the last moments we get of him. I think I would die. I feel like I don’t need to get into why this would suck.

:readmore:

While I think people are pretty harsh whenever Hori does sudden tonal shifts (COUGH COUGH MIRIO MOONING, which I will defend until the day I die.) I just felt like it was a wild choice to have him show up big-dicked out of nowhere, especially while he’s bleeding out a field facing his own hubris. It was definitely funny, and nice to see him not dying. And yeah, of course Keigo would charismatically get all those vestiges to turn on AFO. Speaking of, curious as to why the vestiges didn’t rebel while AFO was fighting All Might..

But MHA is wrapping up and there’s literal infinite possibilities as to what could be focused on/addressed at any given moment. And while obviously Hori hasn’t forgotten about this particular side plot (weird how people will say that whenever the perspective changes for longer than 2 chapters) I am anxious about this loser. There’s a deep ingrained fear that a lot of things that could be addressed but haven’t, will never be. He isn’t the main character (but FUCK does he get treated like one.) And because I’ve grown to focus solely on this character, I have a list of unrealistic expectations. But he’s had a massive impact on the story. I mean, HES STILL RELEVANT. Which is more than I can say about my other favourites from when I started the series back in 2017.

GOD THATS A LOT OF TEXT. Anyways. I’m probably wrong. I hope I am.

Saying gay Mike would be hated by the ga bc that would mean that he used El all those years, is homophobic, just like saying bi-Mike would be hated by the ga bc that would mean he could have just stayed with El if he is also attracted to girls, is biphobic.

Bylers using either of these as the basis for why their interpretation is most likely to play out in canon, just makes me cringe bc why are we even wasting time giving validation to homophobia/biphobia as having the last word for how the show has to play out?? Is that what it all comes down to then? Appeasing bigots??

Gays aren’t evil or trying to intentionally hurt others, least of all gay kids that are figuring out their sexuality. Let’s not act like being gay wasn’t seen as being broken or needing to to be fixed, meaning that going along with what society views as normal, was and still is seen as the only option for queer people in general. And I say queer people in general bc you don’t necessarily have to even be gay to experience questioning your sexuality and feeling like you have to do things because everyone else is. Arguably we all go through that! But especially gays in the 80’s bc for a lot of people back then, it was a matter of blending in to survive (for many it still is).

Bisexuals aren’t evil or trying to intentionally hurt others for falling out of love, losing feelings, or just merely not being attracted to/compatible with someone of the opposite sex. Straight people are capable of recognizing that they aren’t attracted to or compatible with every person they meet of the opposite sex. Does any of that make them less straight? No. So why is it so hard to understand it’s the same way for bisexuals and even queer people in general? Nobody, bisexual or otherwise should have to stay in relationships with someone they no longer have romantic feelings for, just bc they’re attracted to them or even were just confused and thought they were but it ended up not being enough?? Attraction is important, yes, but feelings are arguably even more so (especially when you have something else to compare it to, causing the dilemma in the first place). I mean look at Stancy/Jancy? Is Nancy viewed as problematic for being attracted to Steve and having deep feelings/being attracted to Jonathan, and having conflicting feelings about that? No! And so why should it be problematic for Mike?

The reality is, homophobes are going to hate Mike if he comes out as queer, regardless of whether he is revealed to be gay, bi or unlabeled.

This is why basing Mike’s sexuality on the backlash of bigoted audiences’ is a moot point to me.

I mean, as it is, most of the general audience already hates Mike as a result of his behavior in s3-4, and this is straight Mike we’re talking about! I’m obviously not referring to milkvans or Redditors, bc they only make up a minority of hardcore fans who hate byler and will defend Mike to the point of demonizing El. I’m talking about viewers that have seen the show once through each time a new season releases and then move on afterwards without being in online spaces. That is the majority. The majority of the general audience, homophobic or otherwise, does not like Mike anyways at this point. So, who the hell cares what they think about queer Mike in the end??? They’re already anticipating going into s5 and continuing to dislike him, so the argument that the show can’t do this or that bc those same people won’t like him?… That ship has already sailed.

If anything I could see the non-homophobic majority accepting queer Mike, regardless of what label he ends up identifying with, bc then at least it will finally give them some clarity about where that resentment they had for him was coming from, ie misunderstanding him completely and now finally getting some answers.

At the end of the day, bigots will do what they do best. They’ll make up any reason they can think of for why queer Mike is wrong. And so why should we base our interpretation of things on what will be more palatable to those that the show was never intended for in the first place?

Me, after literally hate-watching bnha for four seasons, dragging my way through it in the hopes that I’d one day understand why people liked it at all, having just finished season 6:

sometimes I just think about how Nico grew from a scared 10 year old who ran away from the corpses they accidentally summoned in their anger to arguably one of the most powerful demigods who controls the shadows & raises the dead in battle if necessary & I’m just- 🥹🥹
