rant time

This is so disappointing, and the worst part is I have no one to blame but myself. I've always sorta seen the writing on the wall. Hori has always had a really weird track record with his writing; dropping plot points, being purposefully cagy and noncommittal to certain themes etc. However I do think there is a difference between something being an objectively poorly written story and just a story that, while well done, might no be something I personally enjoy (or even a overall fine story with a few flaws). For awhile I thought, like many people that mha was going to be a scathing critique on hero society and Deku & Co. would have to reccon with their places in it: how the hero-villain dichotomy does not help anyone, scapegoats those deemed undesirable, allows heroes to get aways with murder, and perpetuates the complicity of the masses leading them bring about some sort of systemic change with the help of the antagonists . When I realized it wouldn't be that I thought "OK" then it is a story about saving the have-nots and proving why they are going about things the wrong way and offering another solutions while working within society–a bit sanctimonious but sure–they become the greatest heroes because of their compassion and willingness to save. And then when the villains bring up their issues with society their continuously told to shut up or that their wrong with no further elaboration, better yet that they just dealt with what happened to them the wrong way as if was somehow their fault for reacting badly to being treated badly and given no real recourse. And then the All For One reveal happened. And god. the last minute reveal (right before he's 'killed') that all of Shigaraki's family issues and quirk were the direct result of AFO? It's a really nice way to further invalidate all the criticisms he's ever made now that nearly everything bad that's ever happened in his life was because of some really bad guy, doubling down on making everything an individual problem rather then a social one–because that way you don't have to challenge your characters core ideologies right? or think of actual solutions? And that's where I feel like MHA crosses into being an objectively poorly written story overall; to establish all these issues and themes and back out on them at the last minute for a simple solution.

I have to ask: What the fuck is going to change? Stories set in a fantastical world usually have something to actually fucking comment on in that world. We are shown explicit issues in the world of mha What has been deconstructed about the world of MHA? After all of this, what have any of these so called greatest heroes done to make an actual, tangible difference in the world they live in? The end of MHA is shaping up to be just a continuation of the same cycle it the begins with, all of it's issues going unaddressed or swept under the rug. People want to say that MHA doesn't need to address those things, that it's just a story about hope and redemption, where is the hope and redemption in killing off the people shown to be the most victimized by society? If it is a story about true heroism being intrinsically linked to saving then what does it say that some people just can't be saved, that are 'too far gone' that have to be fucking mercy killed.

In conclusion, the LOV deserved to be in a story which actually lived up to what it promised.

Optimus Prime with a breeding kink (obviously). But. Different from the usual depictions.

Forget him telling his S/O the classic dominant things about what he's going do to them (without so much as a stutter, despite being in the middle of fragging them).

I want to see him bent over his S/O, fragging with the intent to breed, with him being the one who's losing his mind - not his partner.

Let him choke and whimper or growl and groan. Let him be beyond coherent speech. This whole breeding thing is his kink, after all. Let him be overwhelmed by it <3

i am a firm believer in the fact that tim has like…stupid blue eyes. ice blue eyes, that pierce into your soul and make you want to confess your sins just to make it stop. (that isn’t just his eyes, that’s the stare he learned from janet)

this also means that any time it snows and he goes outside, he gets absolutely blinded. he has to grab sunglasses and all of his siblings make fun of him for it extensively.

Dr. Orpheus really knew what was up when he said, "Oh, it must be dreamy to have a costumed nemesis. Chasing you, wringing his gloved hand in concern of your every move. It just seems so romantic."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILBO AND FRODO!!!! 🥳🎂🎉🥳🎂🎉♥️♥️♥️

Today is September 22nd, also known as Hobbit Day! I've been looking forward to this all year! To celebrate, my friends and I wore hobbit costumes and one of them and I reenacted Bilbo's party speech from the book! Since I was so busy today, I am going to create a list of 22 things I love about Bilbo and Frodo tomorrow 😊

AU where Tom adopts/takes care of Max would be designed to take me out specifically because the timeline is brutal and angsty and wonderful….UGHH stay with me while I yap for a second

I imagine Max would have fallen into Tom’s care in his sophomore year of high school (Max would be about 15 around this time). Tom is the coach of the football team and has seen Max coming to practice with unusual bruises and burn marks ever since 8th grade (I like to imagine there is some kind of Hatchetfield Middle that also has a little football camp for older middle school kids that Tom helps out with), and Tom has been working to get Max out of his father care since then. Max ends up in the care of the Houstons which includes Tom, Tim, and Jane because the accident has yet to happen since it’s the beginning of the school year. Max still has anger issues (not as bad as we see in NPMD; I imagine his bullying would be at its peak his senior year as a sort of last hoorah since his “life would be over after high school”), but he never bullies or hurts Tim, and Tom keeps him in his place. Max also now once again has a mother which is something he’s missed for a long long time (I know Jane isn’t implied to be the best person in Nightmare Time, but I like to think she’s a pretty good mom). As time goes on and winter roles around, Max feels happy for the first time in a long time. He helps Tom build things, plays video games with Tim, and sometimes he even helps Jane cook. He starts bullying people less and maybe his grades even start to improve.

Then the accident happens and Jane dies.

Of course Jane’s death hits Tom and Tim extremely hard, but Max loses a mother for the second time. He feels indebted to Tom for saving him from his father, so he steps up for Tom and Tim. He grieves with them, but he doesn’t let his emotions show since Jane wasn’t really his mother or family. His father taught him that men aren’t allowed to show emotions and should instead be strong; Max internalized this deeply and while he was getting better at it since Tom is so kind, Jane’s death has set him soooo far back. Max finds outlets for his grief in cooking and football, but it’s not enough. It’s not enough and he’s still restless and upset; he goes back to bullying just a handful of nerds—the nerdiest of nerds. He keeps bullying Pete, Ruth, and Richie. Once again it’s not as bad as before, but it’s enough for Max to feel like he has some control of his life again.

Fast forward a year, and it’s Black Friday. Max has still been bullying the nerds, but Tom doesn’t know since it’s so minor. He’s noticed that somethings been up with Max, but he’s been so caught up in his own grief and keeping it together and Max says everything is fine so he doesn’t look into it too much. However, Tom does hear about this Tickle-Me-Wiggly doll and wants to get one for Max and Tim since they both deserve it after everything they’ve gone through. In an attempt to connect them both more with his family (and because he feels a bit bad leaving them both alone right after thanksgiving), Tom calls Emma to come watch the boys. Emma brings Paul (her not boyfriend) along, but Paul was also put on babysitting duty, and he’s watching over his nephew: Richie. Max is obviously surprised to see the nerd, and Richie gets a bit terrified but doesn’t want to ruin this for Paul or Emma. Max complains with Tim that he doesn’t want Tom to go, and rightfully gets pissed when Tom does leave to “get a new blade for his bandsaw”. It’s no use, and Tom still goes Lakeside mall to get both of his boys a Wiggly. Max is mad, but Emma is a master at dealing with angry people; she’s a barista, she does it everyday.

The group of Paul, Emma, Tim, Max, and Richie all hang out for the day. Richie shies away since he’s very much scared of Max still, but Max doesn’t pull any shit with him. Richie thinks it’s because adults are around, but then Richie also sees glimpses of Max acting like an older brother to Tim, and he starts to wonder. He wonders about the period where Max didn’t bully him, he wonders about how Max ended up in the Houston’s care, and he wonders what it would be like to be Max’s friend. Max doesn’t have anything to prove at his own house. He let’s himself be more involved in the board games and bonding shenanigans, and even makes a few jokes that Max laughs at.

Maybe life could turn around for all of them…

Since Black Friday takes place during their junior year (I think this is right timeline wise, but I may be wrong) which would give them time to be friends and heal and all that good stuff (assuming they all live past Black Friday). Max gets to live and have a family with the Houstons and gets to learn to be friends with Richie and maybe even the other nerds.

fuuckkkkkkkkkk now I need to make this a whole ass fan fiction and universe ughhhhhhh……<3

also it took me til half way through writing this fucking essay to realize that I was just making my 5 favorite Hatchetfield characters (Richie, Paul, Max, Emma, and Tom) all connected, and I just think that’s a little silly

if u read this whole thing, ur one of God’s strongest soldiers o7

also pls pls plssss let me know if u think of other stuff to add

inside of you there are two wolves

one wants to watch all the dramas that everyone else is while they're airing to be apart of the community

and the other knows you'll lost your fucking mind not knowing what happens next so you wait until the finish airing, but then lose the motivation to be able to start a new show
