[cosplaytutorial]

I don't know if this has already been asked, but I'm making a cosplay for Midnight from My Hero Academia, and I'm mega struggling with her corset thingy. It's so impossible to find a tutorial on any of her costume, but I pretty much have it downpacked besides the corset. If you can help, I'd very much appreciate it! Thank you

Hello there!

There’s a few ways you can go about her corset.

Perhaps the easiest would be to simply purchase an off-the-rack underbust corset and modify it as needed. Even though you won’t likely be looking to actually reduce your waist, I would still look for one with steel boning and a curvy enough cut that it will conform to your underbust and hips while still defining your waist and not creating gaps. Remember that the lacing should be parallel in the back! Here’s a good guide to the basics.

Another option would be to make an underbust corset. It doesn’t have to be extremely complicated, since you likely aren’t going to want to tightlace with it, but still be sure to use a firm fabric and high-quality boning – I typically recommend spiral steel for the bendy areas like the waist and flat spring steel for the areas like the center front – since a lot of cheap plastic boning can warp and twist and become very uncomfortable. Making your own would allow you to customize the fit and the detailing in a way that purchasing would not. Even a basic pattern found in the costuming section of a major commercial pattern manufacturer’s catalog would work well for this, since you don’t need tightlacing or historical accuracy. Thankfully, costume corset patterns are very common these days!

Lastly, you can make a faux corset out of a stretchy fabric and enough boning for structure, but not the same amount or type you would use for a full corset. I would recommend using a stretch interfacing on your fabric if you go this route, as it helps create a bit more firmness and control. This would be the least corset-like, but would move in the same way hers seems to. It also would take less skill in getting a precise fit, though you would need to know how to work with stretch fabrics. I would recommend a boning like rigilene for this option.

Any of these options can either have the panty area attached to the corset or as a separate piece worn underneath.

For the front detailing, I would recommend creating the neck piece as a separate item and then having it snap to the front of the corset rather than sewing in on. This will allow you to dress and undress easier than if it were attached, and if you needed to remove the neck piece for any reason, you wouldn’t need to remove your whole costume. If you have a pre-made corset or if you make a corset with a busk in the front, you can use the detailing to cover the busk and hide it. The red gems can simply be sewn or glued over where the snaps are.

I hope that helps! Good luck :]

[nocunoct-blog]

Yo, guys.

[transhawks]

wait yeah so by now we all know hori has some fucked up issues about women, but tbh looking back now his oversexualisation of the female characters seems in a way more insidious that the 'usual' fanservicey stuff in shonen?? let me explain, usually it's in-your-face stuff, some cheap jokes, big boobs, horny shot angles - which of course is bad too, and it's prevailing in the animanga industry. and we have some of those things in heroaca as well, but there's also something kinda subtler, and it's about the overall designs. I know it's been talked about how hori uses quirks as an excuse to sexualise women, but it's usually about their outfits (momo, hagakure), or personalities (toga, midnight) but actually sometimes he specifically chooses quirks and hero outfits that are too suspiciously connected to horny/kinky tropes and fetishes (miruko, mt lady, the pussycats, and the worst offence imo, tsuyu). like at this point I don't believe his choices are meant to be innocent and not him managing to put hentai tropes into a shonen by not being overt about it.

This requires a deeper dive than I have brain power for. The thing is, I'm really used to ecchi elements in shounen. Naruto had some, I'm a big soul eater fan which had a massive problem on this topic esp with underage girls, and so did fairy tail. A lot of that was played for bigger laughs than BNHA is doing it, sure, but I think BNHA started out doing it the "haha funny pervert" style too. But then you get shit like being able to see Miruko's labia as she's being maimed, and how sexualized Toga's maiming was, or the focus on her in pain, etc, and the various justifications for sexualizing her. I don't think it's uniquely malicious, again, because I also remember Soul Eater (is fire force any better? if anyone has read it or seen it, chime in) doing a lot of this.

But you're right in the fact that everything he does is a choice. All the quirk justification is "in-text". It's not real, what's real is for Horikoshi to justify sexualizing his characters like this. He does it, it's obvious, and so are his kinks. He definitely has some weird fem-dom and humilation thing, especially when it comes to older women. Or like you mentioned, Tsuyu and Toga's sexualized vomiting moments are a thing, likely thinly veiled jokes for showing attractive girls spewing fluids. A lot of this, I want to point out, is by design in the industry too. Manga attracts "incels", by which I mean socially-maladjusted and awkward, isolated young men who have the talent, drive, and time to spend their teen years drawing away instead of socializing. Women are still a rarity, especially in shounen, despite profilic women mangakas. These young men start off in manga early because so often they're snatched right out of college or highschool, so the few years where they should be getting over that nerd shit of "girls don't like me and I don't know how to talk to them" and becoming actual adults are stolen by work hours of upwards sixty or so a week. And so they stay like that. Awkward. Isolated. Maybe even resentful because all the 'milestones' of heterosexual manhood are further and further away because of their schedules. Their social circles become other people like them, and they can't get new ones because of the sheer number of working hours, and at some point being a socially-awkward nerd becomes a badge of pride rather than a case of arrested development that they don't get to change because of their careers. So, yeah, Horikoshi is fucking weird about women. He's told us he considers himself a pervert, is shy enough he wears masks... this is a person who never grew into actual adulthood, which means facing your insecurities. He's not the only one, the industry is structured in a way that men like this are created and perpetuated by exploitation of their labor.

Men like Horikoshi get to stay creepy, repressed manboys because their adulthood is typically constrained in tiny little rooms where they push out draft after draft, their social circle being a rotating circle of assistants who are usually just like them, with the occasional woman (and I do want to say there's absolutely a "female" version of this sort of thing. Just wade into horny anitwitter and look at all the yaoi shota art and you'll see my point about isolated, maladjusted women) joining them. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons Horikoshi isn't stretching the manga out is because he's feeling the keen pressure of time. By his age, I believe Masahi Kishimoto was married, and Kishimoto notoriously fucked up the sequel to his own manga as an apology to his children due to him missing so much of their childhood. Horikoshi just turned 35. He's devoted his entire 20s and now half his 30s to drawing manga, struck gold in 2014, but it cost him any semblance of a normal life. Given the examples of the men around him (like Oda not living with his family and the sheer insanity of his schedule), Kishimoto having to apologize in-manga to his kids for paternal absenteeism, the HxH/YuYU author having health issues and limiting work, the many examples of overwork death... Being an SJ mangaka isn't conducive to a healthy or likely happy life, especially if he ever wants to stop being a reclusive man. This is just speculation on my part, but I have a feeling that's why we are approaching the end.

[codenamesazanka]

it’s super interesting to see different parts of the fandom predicting/arguing about which villain character has death flags/will die during the endgame. speaking very broadly:

fans who stan the villains seem certain that Shigaraki, Dabi, and Toga will survive/be saved - the ones whose suffering we’ve seen the most - but the non-trio Villains will be sacrificed one way or another

fans who like the villains well enough but are eager to see them defeated seem to think Spinner and Mr. Compress and maybe Toga will live - the least ‘evil’ members of the League

fans who are more invested in the Heroes/kids seem to think most of the Villains will be killed off, as expected of bad guys in a story about good guys defeating bad guys.

Feel like there’s something to be said about what themes, narratives, ‘lessons’ (like, the ‘moral of the story? the message intended to be conveyed? the thesis of Heroes and Villains?) different fans prioritize and sees trends in to support their expectations. very fun to navel-gaze about.

personally, I actually don’t think the League will get killed off. Horikoshi seems reluctant to kill his characters, especially the ones important to the overall story (including side plot)/have done important things/represent important things. Like, Twice is the only major Villain to die; and heck I would argue he’s the only major character yet to get killed. my opinion of course, but Nighteye was sorta an specific arc-only character; Midnight was a teacher at UA but was never involved in any main narratives; meanwhile Gran Torino got a hole to the chest and is still kicking, if stuck to a hospital bed. Plus, as we see (a lack of) with Nighteye and Midnight, their deaths haven’t been impactful to the story, haven’t had lingering consequences, haven’t motivate characters to significant actions, haven’t been brought up since - unlike Twice. So yeah, so far despite all the high-stakes intense battles and injuries that could kill, only one character has been killed off in the grand scheme of things.

the other big reason is regarding the story itself, the message that I think Horikoshi is trying to convey via this ridiculous tale of Heroes and Villains and superpowers and saving people. because HeroAca’s main argument seems to be about, yeah, saving people - but specifically, allowing them to live beyond the literal definition of the word - which means to give people sorta deliverance: second chances, forgiveness, leniency for mistakes and sins, support, etc. a new life.

we see this with Deku being given a quirk in the first chapter after years of being told he can’t have his dream; with Iida being let off the hook when he went rogue; with Bakugou growing out of being a bully to a hero; with Todoroki after letting go of his anger. We see this with Endeavor trying to find atonement; with All Might living on after losing his status and role of ‘Symbol of Peace’.

And then we don’t see this with the Villains, and delve into the consequences of that: Twice who was left without mental healthcare then got murdered by a Hero; Toga being shunned because of her quirk and then abandoned by both her family and larger society; Shigaraki being, metaphorically, punished for killing his family, not one person willing to take his hand after the massacre, no one offering ‘forgiveness’ and relieving him of his despair and guilt. Recently, we see Aoyama’s fall to rock bottom, bound and locked away, and he says himself - he wants to run away to a dark corner of the world and wait to die. These are the people who weren’t saved, who were deemed undeserving of being saved, and is now in need of saving.

Beyond the characters, though, I think HeroAca is built around this theme. We have a Hero Society that prohibits weakness and failures from its Heroes, forcing them to live up to expectations of being always strong and always perfect and always saving the day. We have a ‘justice’ system that condemns all people who have deviated from the ‘proper’ path of life - and so we got villains who are explicitly suicidal like Ending and the Trash Trio, depressed and withdrawn like La Brava and Spinner. If we follow details to their conclusions and implications, things become even darker - in the recent Chapter 341, Toga’s family has been harassed out of their home, which have been ruthlessly vandalized. That’s for having a child - a girl, still just a kid - who struggled with her quirk. The neighborhood didn’t want them there. With that stigma chasing them, it’s not hard to see villain-associated people being denied housing, jobs, opportunities - all the things that allows someone to satisfying their basic survival needs. Within Toga’s family, on the personal level, Toga is neglected and resented, before ultimately being disowned.

this theme is even applied to the core of this world - quirks. in story, they’re unique, individual powers that can significantly determine your status, treatment, role in life; how much you can control it, use it, what you can do with it, how much you employ it, can make or break crossroads in life. Going metaphorical, using the meaning of the word, quirks are personalities/individualities/idiosyncrasies - they are the characteristics of what makes someone their own self, ranging from natures to experiences to weaknesses and strengths. A unique person in the world. Yet in HeroAcaLand, perhaps drawing an exaggerated parallel to real life, those who have quirks ‘unsuitable’/‘incompatible’/‘irksome’/‘useless’ to society are just thrown away - simply put, should you deviate in anyway from the expectations others put on you, then you’ll be exiled from the group. Once you are, the outlook is bleak. unfortunate things happen. the darkness, the emptiness is immense. You no longer have a future, you no longer have a life worth living.

maybe i went a bit extreme there, but that’s the gist of it. That’s the thesis, that’s the problem to be solved, the point for salvation.

Yet I think HeroAca is also, overall, a very sympathetic story. We are supposed to feel for the characters, especially/when the Villains; we are supposed to want better things for them; we are to hope for and celebrate hope. We are to believe in second chances and built bridges; we are waiting for better changes to the world of HeroAca. the dystopia of discrimination, ostracization, abuse and tragedy needs to be destroyed, the system reformed, frowns turned upside down, replaced with shining smiles.

So a story where the ending has any of the League and most other Villains dying - the bad guy characters that are bad because of the damage and suffering enacted upon them by the world of our protagonists - that ending is a pessimistic tragedy. One might argue that the Villains are side characters, but I disagree. Each of them present a flaw within the world, adding to the larger ‘evil’ to be defeated. An antagonist who is killed ultimately because of abuse, neglect, discrimination, even plain ‘bad luck’ - that’s an injustice. That’s something to be fixed. It’s not about punishments and what they deserve based on various factors, nor about who is most worthy of help, nor, I think, even about what roles and lessons they serve for others’ convenience - it’s about saving everyone and bringing them back into the world. The current conflict with the Villains is that they don’t believe they have worthwhile futures. And so they need to be convinced to otherwise.

so yeah. I think for the story to make sense and stick to it’s guns, no one dies. even if the aftermath for them seems hard with atonement unlikely despite one’s greatest’ efforts, it’s still a life worth having. Plus ultra for being alive and having a bright future.

I felt like the plf war was rushed

1.Plf advisors getting hype but no payoff

2.Only miruko, Momo, and Kirishma got time to shine

3.Machia got defeated to easily

4.The war felt more like a raid

I don't know if I feel like it was rushed, per se--it's by far the longest arc in the story so far by number of chapters, and would be even if you cut off the Tartarus jailbreak and the entirety of the hospital aftermath. What it absolutely does feel like to me is unbalanced.

You note that the "war" feels more like a raid, and you're right. As a caveat, it's worth keeping in mind that "Paranormal Liberation War" as a name for the arc in question is entirely an invention of the fanbase. To the best of my knowledge, the reasoning for the name was that big action shonen series like BNHA (Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, etc) always have a war arc, so what we were seeing in the lengthy, mass combat confrontation with the PLF had to be HeroAca's equivalent. It's not a term that's in the manga itself, however, not called as such by the characters, not referred to as such by Horikoshi or his editors, not even namedropped in chapter or volume titles. If it feels like a raid, that's probably because that's what it was intended to be.

And that's the problem, really. This arc shouldn't have been about a couple of raids; it should have been about a war.

(Below the cut: a bunch of fired-up complaining. Uses some harsh language, and talks about both injuries and deaths we did see and some we logically should have.)

From the outset, we were told that the resources Shigaraki had amassed were "on par with, or even stronger than" the resources of the hero-saturated society. Yet, we're expected to believe that a force that strong is so easily taken down by a single coordinated set of raids? Yes, the heroes had the benefit of surprise, but there's just so much that doesn't work for me.

First off, and to get this out of the way, it's ridiculous that the heroes even had the benefit of surprise. The MLA had an unknown number of hero double agents. They had people in the government; they had people in the infrastructure. This is an organization that had been living undercover completely unsuspected for multiple generations--how did the HPSC ever manage to carry out a massive, country-wide investigation on such a secretive group and coordinate multiple simultaneous, comprehensive raids without a single person finding out and alerting the higher-ups over a period of only three and a half months?

When exactly did Hawks have time to go and revive Best Jeanist--which he tells us he did personally--such that none of the bugs and micro-cameras he was covered with picked up on it, and both he and BJ could be back in the positions they needed to be in for the raid to begin?

How did Skeptic find out about the raid such that he only discovered it at the last possible second and not minutes, even hours, before it kicked off? How did hundreds of heroes (and even "hundreds" is being conservative, given the fact that they had seventeen thousand people to detain) close in on the villa without anyone from the PLF noticing, either Skeptic with his information network or mundane precautions like people on watch?

Even granting the heroes their surprise advantage--which I don't want to--if the advisors were all supposedly "stronger than the average hero," why didn't we see any of them winning? Okay, yes, Hose Face beat Midnight, but he had every possible advantage in that "fight"; I hardly count it as some big impressive defeat that shows us that the villains were holding their own.

Here's another thing: the MLA styled themselves as an army--they were demonstrably trained in troop tactics. When we saw them in Deika, even their nameless on-the-ground people were capable of coordinating with each other on the fly in response to the movements of the enemy, as we saw come up repeatedly:

Yeah, they were off-guard at first, but as soon as the advisors made the front line (which, you'll note, was immediately), that disadvantage really should have begun eroding. Certainly once Geten--Geten! The number one MLA member most willing to disregard collateral damage! And there he was being a proper leader!--got to the front and started yelling orders, we should have seen the PLF rallying, and I can't imagine any sensible justification for the tides not turning when a) Re-Destro showed up to occupy the highest-ranked hero on the field, b) a bunch of heroes peeled off to try to stop Machia only to get trampled for their efforts, and c) Trumpet got dug out.

You know who don't style themselves as an army, though? Heroes. Oh, they get some basic lessons in cooperation as students, but the extent of such lessons we see is stuff like "why it's important for heroes to have signature moves"--so that on group missions, their reputations will precede them and fellow heroes will already know their shtick. U.A. teaches the odd lesson plan that involves the kids fighting in groups, but there's a huge difference between you and 3 to 6 of your buddies fighting a similarly-sized group in a practice fight, or a handful of heroes teaming up to take down some criminal low-lives, and the mass combat scenario that was the raid. For heaven's sake, look at our closest other equivalent: the raid on the Hassaikai base. At every turn in that encounter, the heroes let themselves get split up and picked off, winnowing down their numbers. It's even explicit in the narrative that hero team-ups were, in the age of All Might, uncommon, and heroes are only just beginning to adjust to fighting in teams. The erstwhile MLA should have had the advantage there.

As to Machia's defeat, I think the big problem with it is not how it happened, per se, but the timescale involved. The plan itself was sound enough, and even with all the kids' efforts, it still took Machia reaching Shigaraki and not getting any new orders to follow to really do him in. Given what we can extrapolate about his movement speed, though, I just don't think the kids should have had time to set all those traps, especially given how much of that equipment would have had to be fabricated by Momo on the fly. I know she's gotten stronger and all, and good for her, but you're telling me that in the four months between Joint Training and the raid, she went from passing out because she created a bag of goodies and one (1) cannon to being totally fine and still able to coordinate her fellow students while cranking out 23 jars of sedative, dozens of feet of rope/cable, multiple fire-resistant coats, explosives they somehow had time to bury, and three cannons?

For fuck's sake, Jirou gave Machia's ETA as under ten seconds. Yeah, Mount Lady slowed him down, but "only a little"--how much time could she possibly have bought them, that the kids were able to to coordinate and enact everything that plan involved?

You guys, go read this post by @codenamesazanka. Machia is so fast. So unbelievably, incredibly fast. "Twice as fast as the fastest train in the world" fast. "Horikoshi clearly did not stop to think about the distances involved here" fast. Three miles in ten seconds fast. It would have been hard enough to square with the needs of the plot that the kids were sufficiently far from the villa to have the kind of time they needed to swing Momo's plan at all, but Horikoshi explicitly letting Machia get right on top of them before the kids even start just makes it completely impossible for me to credit. Machia clearly being slower aboveground than he is when burrowing does not make that much difference to my suspension of disbelief.

My other big complaint? More people should have died, for real. The PLF warriors would not have been holding back. They were ready and willing to kill anyone they came up against. The heroes did have to hold back, because heroes, as we're told over and over again, are not supposed to kill, no matter how dire the circumstances. That difference in ability to exercise force should have been yet another significant advantage for the PLF. I could write an entire list of characters that I think could have reasonably been killed during the raids. That wouldn't be to say that I think any individual, specific character on that list should have died, just that, based on the parameters as they were presented to audience, some number of them should have.

I mean, honestly. How did Horikoshi wanna show us Gang Orca's unmoving claw in the wake of Machia's passage and not have Gang Orca on the list of the dead? How did Fat Gun run right into a mass melee and still have enough fat left over afterward to survive getting trampled by a walking mountain? How did Thirteen survive not getting pulled out of the hospital basement when Shigaraki's Decay hit? How did Trumpet survive getting a staircase dropped on top of him? How did Gran Torino survive a fist through his tiny old man chest cavity?

I could go on and on, but it's not just about the deaths, either. I'm not saying that Kamui Woods necessarily should have died by swinging himself face-first into a blast of blue fire, but I am saying that he should have been out of commission for longer than three goddamn days. You bet your ass I'm saying that after telling us that Hawks' weak point is fire, making us watch him spend at a solid minute or more with his wings wholly enveloped in Dabi's 2000 degree flames, and having Dark Shadow exclaim that his back is completely burned away, Hawks should never have grown his wings back, much less so quickly that they were already visible under his shirt a single day later.

More deaths, more maiming--heck, even more retirements. I'm not saying I love that kind of thing in my fiction--I don't, actually. I think an overreliance on it is a sign of edgelordy nonsense. But the scenario that we had demanded to be treated with the kind of gravity that would have led to such an outcome. To set up a conflict like the raid and have the villains only barely be able to scrape a partial escape, to try to tell us that Shigaraki's victory in Deika granted him such a terrifyingly powerful force only to have them lose every battle they got into, to tell us this was a blow that shook Hero Society to its core, only to be so unwilling to kill or retire any heroes the audience cares about that Midnight is literally the only significant loss… It doesn't work. None of it works.

I don't have much to say on which characters did or didn't get a highlight. I think there were a few more people than you listed that got some good scenes--Tokoyami and Uraraka both got material I liked quite a bit; Dabi famously out-trended the U.S. presidential election on Twitter when he (literally) came clean, and Mr. Compress gave us some wonderfully interesting and characteristically opaque material to chew on. On the whole, though, adding more character moments would only have been dragging out the problem: the scale of the PLF's threat and the HPSC's chosen method of dealing with it are simply incompatible with the feeble "neither side truly won or lost" resolution we got.

And that's my rant on that--thanks for the ask!

Yo, it’s ya boi with the shitposts

Based on this
