You know what it's like when you don't know anything at all, and that you're totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person.

[toytulini]

i want to believe moo deng is being kept in a facility that aims to do well, and maybe we're just not seeing everything, i dont want to jump to thinking the worst of them, but the way there keep being so many instances of her biting keepers, so many pics of that? and its "cute" while shes small but thats not gonna be cute when she gets big. like idk im open to hearing more about her facility if they feel theyre being misrepresented and theres like, better conditions we're not seeing, and she Is adorable all by herself, but like. if shes being mistreated for clicks thats not cute. if shes being allowed to do shit that will make her too dangerous to care for as an adult and make her care suffer or force her to he euthanized for human safety when she grows up. thats not cute. idk.

Altering the Final War's Battlefields

With the series done, one of the few things that took me until now to get to was basically a bit of a revamp of the Second War battlefields.

The problem with them in the long run for me is that, LOV members aside, there was just...no other major villain established in those fields to really give a shit about or really have a sense of dread about.

One of the major differences between the 1st and 2nd War is that, regardless of how you feel about the results of the 1st War, waltzing into it you understood that the Villains were very credible, established threats.

The League of Villains and their upgraded powers, the MLA top brass and knowing what havoc just one of them could do, the High End Nomus that lay in waitin production thanks to Ujiko, Gigantomachia being a living disaster, 100K soldiers who we know should be on par with regular Heroes from training and have put the LOV on the backfoot. YMMV on how the 1st War turned out, but walking in there was some solid anticaption and intrigue in how these elements would be used....

The Second War does not have that. Why? Because Horikoshi kinda just...gutted the PLF and didn't reaaaaaaallly bring suitable, built-up replacements for them?

High Ends that have personality and can think? Nope, back to just the dumbass Nomus who are just rampaging monsters...that's it.

The PLF soldiers? Literally just 100 people now and, even then, the jailbreakers they got to replace them are just...well, nothing, like I talked about here.

The top brass of the LOV/PLF? Most who could provide interesting fights or intrigue were taken away for just Skeptic...whose regulated back 'hackerman' only.

Replacing them are either AFO's Assassins or Advisors who are just ether not developed at all or just came in too late, beaten too quick and used too little to care about. Thus, it really makes them feel totally irrelevent to the other stuff going around during the war.

For all the talk of the Heroes being at a disadvantage, it certainly did not feel so with just...6 of the bad guys out of a hundred or so people would really care about.. As such, my list below is basically having major Villains take the spots of the Jailbreakers/Advisors as 'Bosses' of their fields so as to give each place a solid Villain to get invested in. In addition, also adding in more returning Villains to help make each place to feel 'alive' in a sense.

If you wanna see how I'd use the Advisors, for the most part (there's a few changes here), look here.

Central Hospital:

This is the most blatant change I feel works for the story better is Trumpet being the ‘Boss’ (or well, one of the Bosses) of Central Hospital. One of the issues in the that battle came about from Disgustus being shoved into two contradictory roles. The first, up until the midway through the battle, is an advocate of mutants that seemed to be genuinely hurt and bitter from the discrimination he’s implied to have gotten (as evidence by his scar)...except then we get to the second half. Which has his internal thoughts filled with how the PLF were just using the mob they gathered as tools and makes him just cartoonishly corrupt. 

Instead of him being forced into both, I think a good idea would have been for Trumpet to take the reigns as the corrupt leader, acting as a false sympathizer for the Heteromorphs, and Disgustus to remain as a genuine, if disdainful extremist. It gives a mook of the PLF more depth since it reminds the audience that a lot of the Villains walked down the path due to rough lives, and allows for their still to be a scummy Villain still to stop. Heck, I feel using Trumpet as the Boss also just makes some of the plot feel more coherent, since he can use his Quirk to not only boost the mob, but make them too frenzied up to really listen or notice something being off (like Spinner clearly being out of it due to the additional Quirks) or notice him clearly covering his ass.

In this case, it’s Shoji and Koda beating Trumpet that could allow for the mob splinter to really begin and stall, with the pig guy’s group merely being the final blow to crack the facade for good. As for Disgustus and the rest of Spinner’s crew, they can be defeated right before they could enter the hospital. Something that hurts Shoji and the others badly enough that the mob genuinely could have killed them if not for pig guy. Heck, to help with this option, I also raise Chimera from movie 2 to return, acting as extra muscle for the crowd and, given his own experience being discriminated against, be another pillar of change get the crowd motivated. While Shoji loses the first encounter against Chimera, this second time, he barely manages to defeat him and is in danger of being killed when help arrives.

On a minor note, more of the USJ crew returns, mainly the Heteromorphic side as well, perhaps trying to spread the idea that, from the beginning, the League of Villains was just trying to raise awareness and change…even though that was very much not the case XD

Boss: Spinner, Trumpet

Jailbreaker: Chimera

Advisors: Spinner’s Advisors

Return: Steel Bulwark, Invisible Wall, Chomper, Greedy Gaping Jaw

Okuto Island

Given this is Toga’s battlefield, there’s not quite too many changes I’d make here. I think the most blatant that could be done is make Moonfish, whose acting as the ‘Jailbreaker’ for the Okuto Villains, more prominent. If Kunieda and Gashly are allowed to wipe out or fend off multiple Heroes, than a guy whose supposed to be on par with them should really be allowed to cut loose and be more of a massive thorn for their side. Plus, since I also think League members should at least get at least a significant send-off, I think Tsu being the one to take him down would be a good way of giving her something major to do. In this case, Tsu uses her wits and camouflage to bait Moon into being more careless with his attacks. Something that leads to him leaving himself open to being stunned by her poison mucus before being knocked out.

Another change I’d make is including Eleph from the High Ends on this battlefield. I think it’d hit the point home how much of a gamble splitting hte Villains up from each other was, as there was always a chance one Villain could have a real advantage wherever they got sent to. In this case, Eleph’s quirk allowed him to suck in water to make fierce hydro attacks at his foes. 

On a lesser note, I’m also for Hanzo Suiden/USJ water thug to add to his mayhem since it should have been high priority for that water fucker to at do something threatening given that battlefield was his advantage. Perhaps’s he’s teaming up with Eleph to help boost the Nomu’s attacks? 

Likewise, for the Advisors section, I’m all for Toga having her #1 Advisor at the scene to help add to the pressure of Okuto.

Boss: Toga

Jailbreaker: Moonfish

Return: Hanzo Suiden, Minotaurus

Nomu: Eleph

Advisors: Toga’s #1 Advisor 

Kamino Ward:

Given that the purpose of this place is that it doesn’t have any Major Jailbreakers, only real major tweak I would make for this is that Ribby replaces the NHE here. I think it’d be fitting if the High End assigned to Dabi was also an ax-crazy killer Nomu that wouldn’t give a shit to being set on fire and is just enjoying the chaos of the War. SImilar to the anime, Ida’s attacks with Ribby, alongside someone like Burnin, are what eventually gets him to go down.

Honestly, I’d probably include Starservant and Ending since both were Dabi’s grunts during the EA arc, and it’d be nice for them to assist their boss once more. Plus, both fit the theme of being crazed Villains unconcerned for their lives, like the other two above as well. Not that I think they’d be a major help, but it’d give some familiar faces the audience would recognize and help care more about the battlefields beyond just the final Boss taking up a major focus.

Boss: Dabi

Nomu: Ribby

Return: Starservant, Ending, Sharkyonara (RIP poor bastard), One-Eyed Green Dragon, Sickle Claw

Advisor: Dabi’s 1st ranker

Jaku Ruins:

To take the place of Skully of the Jaku Ruins battlefield, I raise you Geten. Honestly, I think this is the most natural choice as the Face of Jaku Ruins given how Skully shares Geten’s ‘Quirk Makes Right’ mindset and I think it’d hit more for Mina trying to reason with Geten about how both were fighting for their fallen mentors (in this case Re-Destro) than her trying to resonate with a character who hasn’t really been given his due at all. It’d especially hit harder given RD is basically Geten’s Dad too, so ice boy’s attempts at freeing Machia is coming from a placed of enraged love like Mina had.

As the Jailbreaker of Jaku, I raise Slice as being the sort, mostly to act as a villain against Mina, and would be in a similarm indset to geten about trying to avenge a loss loved one + getting payback on Mina while she was at it since it was her acid that cost her the first fight.

Likewise, in this case, all three of Geten’s Advisors + Dabi’s #2, will be at Jaku. Skully is there to work with Bindi Girl into creating gas that’ll keep their forces safe. Geten’s #3 can probably utter his mammonist line from overhearing about the Heroes plot, and be apart from the first wave of the Jaku villain forces to intercept the Heroes (before being taking out fairly easily - he’s No. 3 for a reason after all). As for Geten’s #1…well, he’’ likely just be there for Geten to bounce ideas off and defend the Commander against enemy attacks.

Now, on the returning Villain side, I’m surprised Giant Villain wasn’t brought back to rematch Mt. Lady. He’ll not be as strong as her, but he can keep her busy after she stomped through a good number of their guys. And, like in canon, Sludge Villain can stay and do his thing. Also, as apart of the first wave, Teruo’s here…to probably be one-shot immediately again, but he will be there XD

Boss: Geten

Jailbreaker: Slice

Return: Sludge Villain, Giant Villain, Teruo Hazakashi (Naked Guy), Axer, Stitched Giant

Advisors: Geten’s Advisors, Dabi’s #2 Advisor

Troy Parking Lot

Now this is one of the trickier locations since it’s pretty just one of the ‘spares’ of the battle. But, ultimately, I think it can work to be something even more meaningful than in canon. In this case, I want Mr. Compress to be left behind here. The support of the League faceing off against pretty much the spares of the Heroes trying to mop up the last of the resistance. Plus, it’s not like Compress doesn’t have a Hero of his own he has beef with. Aoyama was the reason his plan to capture both Bakugo and Tokoyami went screwy, and given Aoyama comes from a rich family that his ancestors would have likely stolen from, well…there’s a lot fun you can have between these two brawling out.

The way I see it, Kunieda makes his plants like in canon, and thanks to Compress’ mask, (alongside several other Villains still remaining that do wear masks of their own or maybe even just Kunieda has control over who he turns into plants) Compress is able to go back to his tree hopping shtick like in the training camp arc and show off his own stealth abilities again. Able to gradually whittle down the Heroes by taking advantage of the foliage to turn those who aren’t plant turned into marbles.

Since there are no Nomu here, the lesser Villains will be made of minor villain gangs, those like Cider House to Team Resvoir Dogs. Stragglers that are really only lasting as long due to Kunieda’s cover and will likely go down after Aoyama/Hagakure’s combo attack.

Boss: Mr. Compress

Jailbreaker: Kunieda

Return:Cider House, Blade Villain/Street Thieves, Reservoir Dogs, Gorilla, Spike

Advisors: Compress #3,

Takoba Stadium:

Honestly, this might sound weird, but Skeptic honestly could have taken Gashly’s place. Gashly’s whole thing is that he spawns minions to outlast others while he himself is in a safe location…

Kinda like Skeptic’s Quirk…or Twice’s…or Toga with Twice’s Quirk (Horikoshi didn’t spend much time on Gashly’s power, let’s be real…). If the main boss of Takoba is just a summoner, than just let Skeptic be badass and not only hack UA’s systems, but also fuck people up via his henchmen too? Heck, you don’t even have to do much to explain how he can do both without issue.

Have him hide somewhere during the chaos…or alternatively? Bring back the Shie Hassaikai guy, Tengai, Barrier and allow Skeptic to camp with in. As for how he can use his set-up at all, have AFO’s spies implant a virus that allows Skeptic access to UA’s systems so that he can safely work his magic in peace…at least up until La Brava stops him. As for how he can fight so well, perhaps have a chapter detailing Skeptic actually bothering to improve his Quirk so that he doesn’t need to use much to create puppets thats can do simple commands, and with access to Detnerat support items, he can effectively spawn more infinitely.

That’s how you can explain Skeptic outlasting the others for so long. At least, up until Tengai is knocked out by Tokage and Kamikiri via the Warp Gate. Thus, shutting down the barrier to allow Skeptic and any remaining Villains to be wiped out. 

Of course, there’s also the issue of the likes of Ketsubutsu’s deal with Skeptic being overturned, though I think a good way to handle that is to have them also at Takoba trying to take Skeptic’s forces down. In this case, a good midtier Villain that can give them a challenge is Deidoro Sakaki and Katsukame. Sakaki’s Sloshed and Katsukame’s energy drain are being a real nuisance in preventing the Heroes from getting to Skeptic, so it’s up to Ketsubetsu to stop them. In this case, Shindo and Nakagame take down Sakaki, while Ms. Joke and those other two guys beat Katsukame. Thus, freeing up more space to focus on the nerdy fuck who needs to get out of the barrier. 

As for any other side Villains to go along with Skeptic, I’m all for including the likes of the Carmine Advisors that made it out, beyond Toga’s 1st ranker. So Toga #3 and Skeptic’s #3. As for Gashly, he can still work as the main muscle, albeit with a revamped Quirk? Perhaps his Baby Tree quirk is more on the psychological side of things that make Skeptic’s puppets even more of a hassle to fight against? Nomu for Takoba will be Chubs to add to the whole theme of ‘this place is chalk full of tanky, long-distance, support fuckers who won’t fight directly’ which is just bound to get on the Takoba Heroes nervesXD

Main Boss: Skeptic

Jailbreaker: Gashly (with a revamped Quirk, probably something rhyme-based to help Skeptic’s puppets out)

Return: Tengai, Katsukame, Sakaki - Shie Hassaikai. Needle Hair, Martial Hair

PLF:  Skeptic #3/Toga’s #3

Nomu: Chubs

UA Shelters

Always thought this was more of a shame that there wasn’t really any proper fights here. Yeah, I know the idea is ‘oh, we can’t let the Villains in’ but c’moooon! It’s the final fight - let them be more of a threat by a few breaking in, causing the Heroes on the inside to try to stop them.

Let Mustard return to spray his gas to help weaken the Heroes defenses, which allows him to get a rematch with Kendo and Tetsu again! Let Mimic get smuggled into UA to take control of the damn thing after Skeptic failed! Have the remaining yakuza work with the saboteurs, acting as their guardsman while they try to bring UA down and it’s a race against time to really stop them. Hell, let Mummy return to use his powers to turn the machinery against the Heroes and have them work hard as Hell to stop him!!

How did they get in? IDK, let one of the saboteurs have a Quirk that let’s them be dollar tree version of Mr. Compress, or maybe they snuck in, if only barely. Heck, maybe after Kurogiri is freed, AFO placed the data for inside of UA and the team meant to rampage in it (thanks to the spies) inside of Shiggy’s mask and Kurogiri warped the taskforce in after the factl There are ways to go about it to make it work. Just allow people like Kaminari and Momo to get more to do than off-screen deal with Twice copies!!! 

But, with that in mind, every location needs a boss of some sort, right?...So why not have the one in charge of such operations be Giran? Have him sneak into UA via his muddle Quirk and make him the director of sabotage for the Villain forces, something he’d be proud to do since he’d want revenge for Twice's death. As for how he doesn’t get folded instantly when found out, if you don’t want to have him unguarded, you can have him use his/Detenerat’s support items to hold off Heroes long enough to make some play happen for his side. I just think it’d be a fitting way to end his story trying to payback the man who saved his life instead of just…not existing after a while.

Boss: Giran

League: Mustard

Jailbreaker: Mummy

Shie Hassaikai: Chronostasis, Mimic, Nemoto, Garbage Trio

PLF: Saboteurs (Tajima, Mihaera, and three people no one cares about)

Gunga Villa

Last, but not least, we got the Gunga battlefield…which is very much due for an uplift. Seriously, the battlefield against the Demon Lord should not have been so damn barren like in canon. Even the Nomus that got sent with him, who were giving everyone else so much trouble, went down likes chumps. So…how to correct it?

Simple! Make it the powerhouse buffet with all the heaviest of hitters being sent there. Woman and her analytical skills mixed with her bloodlust? She’s there to kick ass like the rampaging beast queen that she is, and ensure that the the Heroes really don’t get that much of a break while AFO is wrapped up fighting Team Endeavor in the skies.

Rappa of the Eight Bullets rampaging through the battlefield, knocking out people clean up until Kirishima arrives on Machia - then the rematch of a lifetime could occur!!! I will never stop harping on this, I truly believe we should have gotten a Kirishima and Rappa rematch in the Final War, and its a WASTE Rappa/none of the yakuza besides Overhaul returned!!!

Toxic Chainsaw, the name-dropped foe that All Might whooped back in the 1st chapter and could have probably been a neat callback? Add in Dreadlock Jailbreaker having a spike quirk and the threat from a living pincushion and toxic waste shoots the threat level way up. These guys I’ld probably leave as a deal opponents for the Shiketsu side of things, to give them some form of meaningful foe to clear out before taking on AFO.

Finally, the name-dropped Sanctum and the rest of the Twice Squad serving as, well not really AFO back-up, but general mook rallying nonetheless so the battlefield for this affair is a bit more of semi-organized affair for the Villains instead of a huge mosh pit where they got wiped out so easily.

Boss: AFO

Jailbreaker: Toxic Chainsaw, Dreadlock Jailbreaker

Nomu: Woman

Advisors: Sanctum & other Twice Advisors

Return: Rappa, Habit Headgear, Tesla, Victor

-

Ultimately, this was how I'd split them up! I tried to give each battlefield someone related to the League or who we have seen could be a credible match for the Heroes.

ALso saw fit to give an expalnation as to why some are here and others elsewhere...or not here at all.

Why isn't Re-Destro here?

Because I think the idea of Redestro going down fighting allow the PLF to escape is actually a good idea and could have lead to more development for his top brass, with the post-war showing how each of them are trying to carry on the organization's will. Geten's furious and preparing his Quirk more, Skeptic is actually training to defend himself and other better, Trumpet is channeling his inner Usopp and just lying to every straggler he finds to bolster their forces.

Why is the Shie Hassakai helping AFO?

Mutual benefit. The SH wants Overhaul back, AFO can free him if they win. Also, in Rappa's case, he just wants to brawl so he's imediately on board.

Why only Movie 2 villains on-board?

Because they're the only movie villains that are both in Japan, and not arrested internationally. I mean, I could have tried to incldue Wolfram and his dudes, if I wanted? But if I do ever make a pitch for a new Dark Deku Jailbreaker arc, I'd rather save him for that.

Aaaaaand, that's that?

Regardless, this is pretty much just a thought experiment on my part so hope you got some enjoyment from it!! Think I could have done any of these battlefields better?

WE HAVE LANDED ON MY MOST ANTICAPTED SONG OF THE ALBUM

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?

(You should be)

Don't you worry folks we took out all her teeth

So you tell me everything is not about me

but what if it is?

You say they didnt do it to hurt me

but what if they did?

That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong

I was tame I was gentle til the circus life made me mean

You caged me and then you called me crazy I am what I am cause you changed me

[ontargetmadders]

It's been so long since I last posted a chapter for my fic cause i've literally written 2 chapters unintentionally. It just got longer than I anticapted and unexpectedly happened that way lol. Writing is unpredictable like that. I never know exactly how much is going into something and when the creative juices flow, things I didn’t even plan just somehow find their way on the page. And I absolutely love it 😂

[redpiperfox]

we all know the “anticipation is worse than actually doing the thing,” but apply it to perceptions and how we think we’re percieved and relationships with people and suddenly the anticipation of events isn’t so bad, because anticaption of perception (or perception of perception) kills.

  He  appreciated  for  an  couple  of  seconds  silence  within  the  common  room.  These  pleasant  moments  where  the  mask  of  illusions  could  fall  apart  for  an  short  moment,  expressing  an  far  more  honest  fragment  of  his  personnality,  before  returning  inside  the  lands  of  lies.  ❝  You  better  thank  me  to  be  clingy~  ❞  He  expressed  with  an  smaller  laugh  towards  his  direction.  He  didn't  expressed  his  whole  potential  over  that  point  yet.  He  didn't  yet  welcomed  Potter  with  closeness  of  his  face  in  front  of  him  neither  to  have  clinged  to  his  arm.  Someday  he  will  have  a  reason  to  bring  him  insane  of  that  manner,  for  the  moment  how  much  he  was  stupid  making  him  wanted  to  punch  him  ---  when  well,  Potter  was  exception  of  cruel  bulluying  rule.  It  was  revenge,  but  a  sweet  one,  in  which  he  really  hoped  he  will  admiring  how  he  had  been  inside  an  previous  life  inside  an  previous  personality  and  how  he  was  treating  people.  If  Potter  didn't  wanted  to  be  the  murderous  puppy  he  had  been  once,  it  was  his  honor  as  an  Malfoy  to  be  an  horrible  murderous  puppy  at  his  place  and  show  all  colors  of  the  Malfoy  !  Amusingly,  his  family  name  and  his  family  background  was  perfect  on  that.  No.  Like  Sebastian  apparently,  none  of  his  thoughts  wanted  to  dwell  over  compassionate  familiary,  full  empathis  understanding  with  experienced  circumstances  inside  their  perspective.  He  allowed  himself  the  reminder  simply  inside  the  gentleness  gesture  to  bring  comfort.  ❝  Rest  honestly,  be  a  kid  cooped  up  in  my  room  when  I  can,  but  it's  also  a  lot  of  responsibility.  I  have  more  now.  Before  I  went  to  my  corner  and  followed  what  was  happening  from  afar.  ❞  He  shrugged  his  shoulders  in  his  last  sentence  with  a  hint  of  indifference,  where  his  expression  betrayed  a  buried  desire  to  just  be  T  R  A  N  Q  U  I  L.  He  could  pretending  taking  some  circumstances  with  indifference,  since  he  was  caring  otherwise,  his  heart  wasn't  calm.  His  mind  wasn't  appeased,  and  oh,  he  always  had  to  be  careful  with  his  game  of  illusions.  ❝  Good  time.  We  celebrate  this  together,  I  feel  pampered  and  it's  very  festive  and  intimate  on  the  one  hand,  and  very  procedural  on  the  other.  ❞  Times  had  changed,  and  while  his  father  was  planning  personal  stuff  on  his  way,  the  atmosphere  became  louder  in  consequence.  It  wasn't  an  innocent  it  had  been.  ❝  I  don't  know  for  this  year.  When  I  was  younger,  it  was  always  the  period  where  I  was  pampered  the  most,  always  requesting  to  be  pampered.  ❞  After  all,  his  family  was  …  half  normal  …  inside  presented  appareances.  With  the  weight  of  his  knoweldge,  if  he  was  pondering  how  villains  were  having  a  good  time  knowing  very  well  what  they  were  doing,  it  was  going  to  make  him  sick  in  the  face  of  atrocities  committed  …  ❝  My  parents  ensure  that  I  have  the  best  possible  future,  and  therefore  that  all  my  desires  come  true…  even  if  that  comes  with  the  responsibility  of  not  tarnishing  their  name  …  which  is  something  other  than  the  normality  of  other  kids  who  don't  have  that  on  their  mind.  ❞  It  was  his  habit  :  offer  glitter  …  then  demonstrate  realistically  how  things  were.  He  wasn't  the  best  example.  It  was  just  better  than  having  NO  ONE  to  care  about  that.  ❝  I  know  it's  difficult  for  you.  I  know  how  you  will  feel  lonely  during  this  period.  Hence  I  was  planning  to  invite  myself  if  you  don't  mind,  and  make  you  experience  how  it  should  be.  Explain  it  in  words  don't  give  honor  to  the  sensation.  I  don't  want  it  to  be  merely  a  dream.  ❞

               ˜”*°•.     He  was  going  to  miss  him .  The  mere  idea  of  leaving  this  place ,  however  comforting  when  considering  the  break  from  classes ,  still  terrifying .  It  was  just  for  a  couple  of  days ,  just  for  the  holidays .  Then  why  did  it  feel  like  the  end  of  everything ?  Sure,  they  could  still  exchange  letters  or  pay  each  other  a  visit,  but  didn’t  they  live  a  little  bit  too  far ?  Plus  he  doubted  his  uncle  would  agree  to  take  him  anywhere   he  asked . 

Ruining  the  other’s  mood  with  his  own  fears  was  not  something   he  was  going  to  allow ,  though .  Not  now .  Not  when  holidays  were  coming  and  Draco  was  to  see  his  parents  again .  He  didn’t  want  him  to  feel  guilty .  To  feel  bad  for  doing  something  as  simple  as  joining  his  family .  After  all,  he’d  missed  his  sister  as  well .  Sure ,  tensions  were  going  to  rise  once  more  at  home.  Sure,  he  doubted  there’d  be  a  single  day  that  he  doesn’t  fight  with  Solomon.  However,  what  was  the  alternative  ?  Stay  in  an  empty  school  away  from  her ?

At  the  sound  of  the  other’s  words,  a  small  smile  painted  his  lips .  ❝ I  am  sure  that  person  would  appreciate  the  gifts . ❞  It  was  nice .  The  silence  in  the  common  room.  Most  students  currently  either  dining  or  packing  their  clothes.  And  yet,  there  would  be  the  few  taking  a  seat  around  there,  knowing  full  well  they  were gong nowhere for  Christmas.  Wasn’t  this  worse ?  Having  no  place  to  go ?  No  sense  of  home ?    .  ❝ So ,  what  do  you  normally  do  at  home ?  At  Christmas ? ❞  He  was  curious  indeed .  Curious  to  see  how  this  supposedly  happy  celebration  was  spent  in  a  place  not  as  cursed.  How  an  actual  family  could  spend  it .  For  he  remembered  of  his  own  holidays  with  his  parents  so  little .  He  remembered  the  happiness,  the  gifts,  the stories  near  the  fireplace.  But  that  was  all .  Insane  to  think  that  their  faces  were  already  fading  out.

Recently, Empty the Tanks - Capitulo México volunteers went to investigate dolphinariums within the state of Quintana Roo, a tourism hotspot where you can find places such as Cancun and Cozumel. Shockingly, this small area has 19 marine parks that profit off of the exploitation of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises).

In an article from the Dolphin Project, founder of Empty the Tanks, Rachel Carbary, describes what volunteers found at “Delphinus”, a company that operates several marine parks in the region under the same brand name. Poor water quality, pollution in the animals environment, blatant falsities to guests in regards to how dolphin family units work, noise pollution and shockingly small tank size were just some of what volunteers found.

Dolphins were documented to have abrasions on their rostrums at a location in Playa Mujeres due to the constant foot work that occurs in dolphin interactions. At another location in Cancun, the cetaceans were found to have excessive rake marks (teeth on skin gashes) across their bodies:

“Rake marks such as what we see on the dolphins in captivity are well beyond what is seen or documented in the wild. There is a Delphinus facility inside The Interactive Aquarium in Cancun, and there were obvious signs of tank mate bullying taking place there. On each of the visits to that location, volunteers witnessed a single dolphin being bullied so badly it would jump out of the water and onto the edge of the tank to get away from the other dolphins. Again, in the wild these animals have the entire ocean when they need to flee, but in captivity they are trapped.”

These are just two examples of the shockingly horrible conditions volunteers found at Delphinus parks. To read more, please check out the full article published above.
