#bnha 300 spoilers

[three-semicolons]

Okay I’m sorry but I haven’t been paying attention since like the first vestige popped up and I saw online that Midoriya lost OFA after AFO is defeated??? Is he just like quirkless again or does he still have the stockpile and it just can’t be passed on anymore?

WE MADE IT EVERYONE

Bakugou has been dead for 300 days and counting since August 2nd.

[dumpster-dive-reading]

So I just finished Player One from alohaflower on Ao3 and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

I got into reading BNHA fics largely because of my addiction to reading Yandere stuff, specifically platonic Yandere. There’s so much platonic Yandere stuff out there for BNHA- dad for one vaulting Izuku in like 300 different fics.

Anyway, I didn’t go into this story expecting platonic Yandere. I just wanted overpowered Izuku to beat up everyone. But this was a pleasant surprise.

(Minor Spoilers ahead.)

I’ve probably read hundreds of Dad for One aus, and I’ve enjoyed them a lot. But finding platonic Yandere content of other characters can be really difficult. Player One is a fic that manages to give me just a little bit of platonic yandere Nedzu. Yes. Absolutely.

It’s only for a few chapters, and manages to get resolved pretty well. Still, it’s a lovely few chapters, and left me with a craving for more.

Anyway, Player One is a fic where Izuku has a quirk that lets him live life like a video game. He can see stats for other people, he can see his own stats, he can adjust his stats and gain levels, and so on. He’s absolutely overpowered, but it’s a fun au.

My Hero Academia 300

[littleholmes]

As someone with a dad who was, to put it mildly, a shit dad in my youth and most of my life but is now trying to redeem himself in my late 20’s, this situation with the Todoroki family to me is so interesting in it’s depiction of the family’s varied reactions to endeavor over the course of these arcs, idk let me explain [mild spoilers for ch. 300 under the cut, tw for mentions of abuse and abandonment]

My mom is similar to Rei, unmoved by my dad’s tears when he receives consequences for his actions and unfazed by his attempts to be a better man decades after he left and she (my mom) divorced him. I have three significantly older half-siblings, two of which have written him off completely, one who is indifferent but keeps contact with him, and then there’s me. I have wavered since my late teens to now between Touya’s anger, Fuyumi’s care, Natsuo’s indifference, and Shouto’s irritated tolerance (I know their emotions aren’t as simply reduced to the above but that’s a whole separate post).

When I see Enji, I see my dad. While he wasn’t nearly as awful nor was he physically abusive like Enji, I still bear the trauma and metaphorical burns of his emotional (& verbal at times) abuse, his neglect when he was around, and his years of pure straight-up abandonment. He recognized me as his kid, as a tiny human he helped create who existed, when it was convenient. When I see Dabi, I see what he’s done in these last chapters as completely justified, particularly given the hero society as it is right now and how much of a pedestal they put heroes on. I would be livid if a society put my dad on a pedestal as a No. 2, now No. 1 hero, if kids were saying they wanted to be him when they grow up. To see that, and have society praising him as an amazing man when I know the horrible shit he did to me and my mom and his other kids? That would be upsetting at the least and traumatic at worst. So Touya pulling out the truth to ruin his reputation? I don’t blame him.

Now when I see Fuyumi and her previous attempts to bridge the divide so to speak and play nice, I understand that too. I cling to the crumbs of moments when he was a good dad and the good times, but the bad tilt the scale in a way that makes it hard to ignore. It’s all part of the weird complicated emotions that, for some people, can come up when dealing with a parent, (particularly in my situation as an only/youngest child hybrid which gets extrapolated in the feeling-responsibility-for-aging-parents department, but I digress). My dad has improved since I was a kid, and while I recognize that he’s actively trying to be a better dad, it doesn’t make the damage he caused me and my mom any better. It’s hard to undo damage from gaslighting and emotional abuse. It’s taken time and years of therapy, but my view of my dad is still something that is incredibly complicated. He underwent cancer treatments this past year and that made everything even more emotionally complex because I was worried and scared, but there were absolutely moments when part of me, the part who is still very upset about what he’s done, was indifferent.

The metaphorical burns, the trauma, caused by my dad will always be in my mind. And I know forgiving is not forgetting, but I don’t think I’ve fully forgiven him--and idk if I ever will because his past actions have had major repercussions to my being and mental health, and while I recognize his progress, I also keep myself on guard and stop getting my hopes up because I’m always certain the bottom will drop and he’ll go back to being awful again and I don’t want go back to being that kid who was let down by her dad over and over again.

So when I see this Enji situation and the Todoroki family, I feel the same. I watch Enji and wonder when the bottom is gonna drop. Is he just trying to be ‘better’ because the public is watching now that he’s No. 2 and because his shit is catching up to him? Or is he really trying to be better because he feels guilty? I see him cry and I’m angry--why does he get to cry about his consequences? But then a tiny part is like damn because I recognize his humanity and I’m too damn empathetic for my own good, but the overwhelming bulk of me is rolling my eyes because I can’t accept the tears after everything he's done. I don’t want him to get away with it.

While I recognize that, sure, Enji’s trying, I’m wary and waiting for the bottom to drop, just like with my dad. And I might have a few moments of care, but mostly I’m as indifferent as the other siblings because I was Touya, crying and ripping my hair. I vied for years for my dad's attention, acceptance, and love, only to be forgotten for a few years then remembered. And because of that, now I’m severely burned and carry that weight of his ‘parenting’ and choices, and deal with it and him like Shouto.

But that’s just my situation and I recognize that everyone’s own histories and experiences with toxicity/abuse is different and influences how they view these arcs. How we view these arcs is as valid as our experiences and pain.

TL;DR: I just appreciate that we get to see the layers of this family and the complexity of their emotions while they navigate the situation that is reconciling past with present Endeavor.

Horikoshi's Love For Batman

I guess Jeanist is the Batman of BNHA. The Jeans-mobile looks strikingly similar to Batmobile, maybe even better.

(BTW Hawk's character is my favourite.)

I have no words.....

[cheeseandfriies]

this could either mean "oh" or him about to say 'dad' from the japanese raws, but i suppose they decided the latter.

anyways, it's subtle things like this that make me see that his relationship with his father is slowly changing if he's willing to call him by a title he doesn't deserve.

and the awkwardness that follows is very relatable.

you see your dad as this guy who's strong and powerful, but when he breaks down, it takes you by surprise and you're not so sure what to do about it, which is why i'm glad rei stepped up immediately when endeavor hasn't been emotionally available since their confrontation with dabi.

even natsuo and fuyumi were taken by surprise because she's now in front of them. and that just blows my mind because shoto and endeavor are not the only one that's developed throughout story.

rei has been doing so, too, despite never seeing it as much because i ain't going to lie, i did have doubts about her mental state after what dabi did in live television, but she stomped on those thoughts right away with her determination when she faced her abuser after so many years.

i'm really proud of them.

"Your heart is what...? Everyone is filled with a lot more regrets and guilt compared to you."

Imagine Dabi is the one who gave her the blue flower Rei is holding as she says this. Imagine the impact.

The first thing I thought of while reading bnha 300

I swear the author is doing this on purpose.....

[erasurecloud]

Everyone’s being so analytical and judgmental of Enji & Dabi’s characters and their storylines and I’m just over here like head empty no thoughts heart full of love
