#all my personal opinions

Spinner’s damage is threefold:

first being that he grew up in an environment hostile to heteromorphs and got treated horribly;

second is that his quirk is weak, so that not only is he a heteromorph, he was seen as a useless heteromorph (ie, nothing to offset the innate ‘flaw’ of being a heteromorph; as opposed to, say, someone who’s got a strong, useful, versatile quirk and can ‘overcome’ their defect, in the eyes of a prejudiced society)

third, him having been a hikikomori NEET, who are often viewed as a failure of a person and a parasitic burden on their family and society. This part is particularly important; that’s why it’s repeatedly emphasized in the story via flashbacks. It adds another dimension to the reason he feels like a nobody: no higher education, no job - no respectable future ahead of him.

he’s a disappointment three times over. That’s something that could deal a big blow to a anyone’s self-esteem, I think.

(There could be even more stuff going on, like maybe whether he’s the eldest son of the family or not, and how that affects the additional types of expectations on him that he also couldn’t measure up to.)

of course, the ultimate root cause is the heteromorph discrimination, which likely led to him being judged more harshly for having a weak quirk, and all that probably contributed to why he gave up and withdrew from the world to become a recluse. Which only solidified over time how he’s not a “worthwhile person”, to borrow Trumpet’s phrase. But basically, overall, Spinner’s got a lot going on. I don’t think he didn’t care at all about heteromorph issues, it’s just that heteromorphobia is not the only thing on his mind.

So I like that the heteromorph stuff informs his character, rather than just being his character just so he can be a prop for a Theme; but unfortunately this also means in the awkwardly (but earnest, imo; good try, glad it was at least attempted) handled storyline, Spinner just couldn’t properly have a dialogue with the actual prop characters issue because he needed to go back to his main romantic subplot with Shigaraki (who, like Spinner, was also portrayed as a resentful NEET, completely with a hikikomori-esque messy room, especially at the beginning of the manga; another commonality they share.)

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

[oifaaa]

Just realising most of my grievances with popular bat fanon really boil down to "Character flaws are good and interesting actually and I don't like when you try and take them away to make the character more palatable"

[buggachat]

does anyone else form their headcanons of marinette and adrien largely on the basis of "they have to be opposite each other"? like, creation and destruction, yin and yang, etc. like Marinette being late all the time and sleeping through her alarms? so she's probably a deep sleeper? So that means, by the laws of my lovesquare headcanons according to my brain, Adrien has to be a light sleeper. Marinette is a chaotic creative person and I can imagine her just having so much STUFF all around and living in organized chaos. so therefore Adrien likes his spaces neat and clear. (also something something creation and clutter vs destruction and emptiness) you know??? ???? ? adrien and marinette headcanons just cant be independent of each other in my brain. they are always intrinsically linked

In a another world, Peak of Combat has a plot that involves Time Travel Shenanigans which puts V in one of the Funniest Situations.

[deeva-arud]

A considerable amount of makeup was used to cover Deeva's freckles and face marks, and Cater also had to use magic to make her clothes his size. They did this as a joke, but they sure were committed to it! 💪

Original style swap challenge by @ashipiko ! (see her post here!!) If anyone wants to give it a try, go ahead, it's really fun!!! <3

[notfeelingthyaster]

idk but tim's skills both in comics and in fanon are so inconsistent. like wdym he can fight azrael and ra's and lady shiva and he loses fights to... damian? like ok damian is a good fighter, trained by assassins and whatnot but it makes no sense, bc he wouldn't win against shiva

or like tim barely being able to hold out against jason both times he attacks him seriously (battle for the cowl and titan's tower).... but winning against all sort of weird ass shit in young justice?

im not even talking about how his intellect is all over the place, one day he is lying to batman and fooling doomsday and the other he is truly getting trapped/fooled by shitty ass villains like Calendar Man

Wait you guys are actually buying Disney products I thought it was a joke

THE LOYAL PIN | EPISODE FIVE

[unknown-cold]

Yes there are characters who suffered in the show (I don't deny that) but at least they had some good times, unlike Vi who since she was young cares and takes responsibility for others. And after all the trauma Vi went through in episode 3 as a teenager, she was locked up in prison for 7 years.

And when she got out of prison she didn't rest, she went looking for her sister. And after all this she had to accept the fact that her sister is gone forever, and I'm sure this is one of the hardest facts for Vi to accept that her sister had turned into a monster and Vi will think she's responsible for Jinx's actions.

(I know I've talked about this a lot, but I won't stop talking about it. Firstly, because until now I still receive messages telling me that I shouldn't defend Vi and that Jinx is the only main character in the show and that she is the most suffering character and other such talk, and I just want to tell them that I will not stop talking about Vi's character and I will not stop defending her, and for me Vi is the best character in the entire show and no one can change my opinion)

[queerorthodoxy]

Even IF you believe that being queer or trans is a sin (which is a really weird way to interact with God's creation and another human being) you still are expected as a Christian to behave with love and respect for fellow sinners. Is that not what we were taught?

[fictionadventurer]

Maybe the problem with Christian fiction is that it's non-denominational. People are just "Christian", with no effort put into showing what practicing that religion looks like for them specifically. No indication that there are other Christians who could have different beliefs. No wrestling with differing ideas and the struggle of how one should live out their Christian faith. And that makes it unrealistic and unrelatable.
