#but i also think thats why her and kirishima are interesting in contrast to her and shouma

[shoujoaccent]

it’s so interesting how yoshino and nao differ as people. they’re beautiful, they’re intelligent, and they hold themselves well...... but the first scene we meet nao, she’s popular but she doesn’t care for her friends/circle. she’s polite, but she doesn’t trust any of them; in fact, she thinks lowly of all of them. it’s so very different from yoshino who’s been avoided (and lowkey bullied), who was and still is very much of a loner. however, she doesn’t seek approval from anybody. she was raised pretty much to not care what anyone thinks, to live independently, but she’s not jaded tbh.

it makes me think of kirishima and how he said his type is a woman who’s envied by other women, and that reigns pretty much true for the both of them... but the key difference is that yoshino doesn’t need to surround herself with people to validate her existence (even if it’s 75% not her choice), but it’s pretty much why she doesn’t see much in kirishima, and maybe that’s why his attraction to her is so different? if these are key girls in his life, then yoshino offers more mentally/emotionally because she legitmately does not care. nao doesn’t care for him either, but she seeks him to validate her own selfish needs/worth. yoshino is aware of her surroundings and the life she was born into, but her search for normalcy and peace of mind will probably never be found in kirishima, so therefore, he will never be an option for her.

yoshino also did have a point in previous chapters that, at any time, should she return his feelings, the question of whether or not it’ll make him realize she’s really of no use to him (as she’s the prize and he’s the one chasing) will put her in a compromising and dangerous position. i can’t confirm whether his feelings are true or not yet (more kirishima backstory! yes!), but his obsession with her is very interesting for a person who makes no attachments to anybody or anything. i can’t see her falling for him either, but the both of them are more than what meets the eye— I mean, really, who knows? yoshino has definitely the option of being the dangerous one, and kirishima could be the one running by the end of it!

Prompt: hi, i loveeeee your blog!!!!  ♥ its one of my favorites personally, and i was wondering if you could do this request for me? can i get a scenerio w/ kirishima, shouto, izuku, bakugou, and denki with a happy and cheerful s/o who (once they get to play their music) chooses to play screamo bands and it shocks them?? i hope thats not too descriptive ^^" thank you in advance and have a great day!!!            

Requester: Scream Anon

Notes: ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITES ANON YOU. I NEED TO INTRO YOU TO SOME NEW BLOGS. YOU’RE REALLY SWEET IM SO HAPPY?? THANK YOU

also I didn’t realize I had a Denki request in the box im blessed rn

Kirishima:

○ This boy did not see that coming. Out of all of them he’s the most surprised to hear about s/o’s taste in music. He hadn’t known what they liked, but he hadn’t expected it to be this

○ Kirishima just kind of stares in awe at s/o as they start bobbing along to the beat of the song, moving their head to the rhythm they’re definitely very familiar with. He’s actually speechless for a minute

○ Might say something along the lines of “I didn’t know you were into this kinda thing baby” but wouldn’t comment too much more. If it makes s/o happy he’s not going to mind

○ Kirishima does make a mental note not to share earbuds with his s/o if they ask though. Loves them, but doesn’t love their music quite as much. It’s really not his thing

○ Even so, if s/o is super into it he might try to learn a few basic things about their favourite bands because he wants to take an interest in his s/o.

○ He’s definitely happy to listen to s/o talk about their music though. If they’re talking to him about what they love, light in their eye and joy in their gestures, Kirishima’s happy.

○ Even though he’s still surprised most times he hears their music for a while, it does explain why they go so hard when they train with their headphones on. It’s hard not to when listening to music like that

Todoroki:

○ A little surprised, but not nearly as much as Kirishima was. Todoroki wasn’t really sure what he was expecting when s/o put their music on, but it wasn’t that

○ Even so, Todoroki’s not sure if he’s more shocked by the fact that his sweet, bubbly s/o is listening to something so hard, or just by the music himself. He grew up with more classical music or cartoon themes so it’s definitely different for him

○ He actually thinks that the contrast between s/o’s personality and music tastes is kinda cute, in a strange way. He can’t explain why, but he just likes it

○ Definitely willing to give it a try if s/o is into it. He’ll sit around with them when they do regular tasks, like homework, or even just relaxing on the couch together, and ask s/o to play some of their favourite songs for him

○ He’s kinda indifferent to the music style in the end, can’t really get into it, but he’s completely ok with s/o playing it whenever if it makes them happy

○ Lowkey thinks it’s funny and kinda cute when s/o sings or ‘screams’ along - especially if they’re not super good at it. He loves how relaxed they are with him

○ Occasionally suggests new songs to them if he hears of any he thinks they might like. He gets a good feel for their music tastes

Midoriya:

○ Not something he expected, but not something he didn’t expect, either. Midoriya’s too smart to think s/o’s cheerful demeanor is all there is to them and he knows them way too well to be completely shocked. Still, screamo music is perhaps heavier than he expected

○ Even though he’s not really surprised, Midoriya can’t help but stop and think for a minute (or a few minutes, stopping to mutter to himself) about all the different sides of s/o - and just how lucky he is to get to learn them all

○ Midoriya isn’t an avid screamo fan, but he does listen to the odd song. He gets kinda excited whenever s/o plays something he knows and can’t help but point it out

○ S/o actually manages to introduce Midoriya to a few new songs and they both get pretty excited about that. Midoriya wouldn’t admit it, but whenever he hears those songs he thinks about s/o and can’t help but smile

○ Midoriya starts to listen to more of that kind of music because of s/o, actually. He likes it because it makes him think of them

○ Actually really likes the music to train to and he and s/o always have one of s/o’s playlists on in the background when they’re training together

○ Anyone who walks in on these training sessions is actually quite surprised. The two shock a lot of people with the music they share

Bakugou:

○ Not surprised at all. He’s way too perceptive not to see that s/o is more than just some cheery nerd. There’s a lot to them and though he doesn’t know what all of that is just yet, he knows that it’s there

○ Not really concerned with s/o’s music taste though. They can like whatever they want - it’s not his business. If it makes them happy he’s fine with it

○ He does kinda like getting to know more about s/o and what they like, and definitely remembers some of their favourite bands. He’ll never say it, but he might show it by popping in with an album of their that he just happened to ‘find’

○ Will use s/o’s taste to brag if he sees an opportunity. He’ll mention that they have badass taste rather than being into more generic music if he has the opportunity. He just likes to show them off and he’ll do it any way he can

○ Doesn’t mind the music for training since it’s still enough to get him pumped up, so they switch off who picks their music when they spar or train together. If it makes s/o happy Bakugou will ‘forget’ who’s turn it is to pick and just tell them to

○ Definitely looks up their favourite bands and songs so he can understand the subject better. He doesn’t bring it up, so s/o probably never knows he does it, but he involves himself in their interests in his own way

○ Actually comes to like a few of their favourite songs, but he’ll ‘kill’ anyone who catches him smiling along to  any of them while he thinks about s/o

Kaminari:

○ A shocked (ha) boy. S/o is so cute and happy! He never expected their music to be so dark! He just stares at s/o when they put on their music for a solid minute before asking something stupid like ‘woah, s/o is that really you?’

○ Once his surprise fades though, Kaminari is actually pretty pumped. In his mind scremo music is pretty cool, so s/o is pretty cool for liking it too! It gives them a bad girl vibe in his mind, which he thinks is super hot

○ Probably a little bit of a poser as first, tbh. He wants s/o to think he’s cool and impressive, so he pretends to be into screamo. While he’s heard a few songs, he is definitely not the expert he pretends to be

○ He asks Jirou for music recommendations he might be able to give s/o since she knows more than he does. He makes her swear not to tell anyone that she told him though, so he can pretend he knew the music already when he presents it to s/o

○ If s/o indulges him a little he’s over the moon. He loves thinking s/o is impressed with him and he’s pretty much glowing with happiness. It actually encourages him to actually try to learn a little more about the music s/o likes too (not that he wouldn’t anyways, but he’s more enthusiastic)

○ Tries to brag about how cool s/o is, and sometimes how cool he is, for having good taste in music. It doesn’t usually work, but, hopefully at least s/o is a little flattered by how freely he compliments them

○ The really really heavy stuff is a bit much for him, admittedly, but Kaminari never complain when s/o plays what they like. They’re too cute when they’re happy. Hopefully they pick up on it and go for something even just a smidgen lighter for him though!

What are your thoughts on the recent manga developements? Like the climax of the vs stanley arc and the suika mini arc etc, idk ive just been loving the recent chapters and wanna hear more talk about it and your rants so far have been really entertaining ^^

ANON FCGB;;;😳

WELL i did make an entire playlist based off those 3 suika chapters so i guess you could say i’ve been enjoying the current arc gfgfh. ok here are my VERY extended thoughts on the last 10ish chapters under the cut (manga spoilers obv) (LUCY DON’T READ THIS ONE FR) (also cw for like.. discussion of diseases and stuff tho i dont go too much into detail, i’m not an actual doctor obviously dfgdfg)

this ended up being way longer than i expected so i tried breaking it into a few sections and adding images to make it easier on the eyes, i’ve really loved the south america arc as a whole but these last few chapters have been especially amazing

vs stanley climax

first of all, i gotta love how you called it the "vs stanley fight", and i mean, you're technically right since he is the antagonist of this arc, but it's interesting how they never have a direct faceoff with stanley, it's more like stanley and his troops attacking super one sidedly in a way the kos can't really fight against, so they use communication between their different teams to trap stanley & co in a situation they can't run away from and win in the long term

i love that dr stone "fights" are most often won strategically rather than in a straight up 1v1 brawl, in fact those more standard fights are most often used as a way to keep the enemy at bay until senku & co can figure out a way to actually win, also it's just really cool that the team that delivered the final blow was thousands of miles away from where the actual fight was taking place, or even hundreds of thousands if you count whyman as the "person who delivered the final blow"

stanley theorizes at the end that the kos will probably keep his statue as a hostage to make xeno work for them on the rocket if he wants stanley back (lmao gay), but considering their track record of letting past enemies join the crew, i have a feeling we’ll have both xeno and stanley (and the rest of the americans) back rather than just xeno

the only antagonist so far that hasn't been redeemed is ibara, who is just being kept as a stone statue somewhere, but you could tell that would be the case based on his design alone, he just screams *irredeemable villain*

xeno and stanley, while antagonists, are also clearly designed to be likeable characters, so i don't see them getting the same treatment

the only problem would be keeping a constant watch over xeno to make sure he doesn't do any Side Projects™ and develop firearms again, but it could also be that xeno was actually convinced of senku’s philosophy in their last talk before the beam hit, so maybe he will be willing to help even without having stanley be a hostage, but i guess we’ll just wait and see

as a side note, whyman periodically sending the petrification command was basically a chekhov's gun now that i think about it, so it makes sense in a meta way that a second worldwide petrification would happen, why establish it if it wont come into play later in the story? i actually felt kinda dumb for not seeing it coming fgdfg

aftermath/suika chapters

the first strategy they had for defeating stanley was a good one, but it wouldn't really make for good storytelling if it just Worked and they won just like that, it would be pretty anticlimactic after running from him for almost 20 chapters, so it makes sense then that what they had to go with in the end was the same strategy, but on a much bigger scale

suika being the one to be depetrified first and have to save everyone is also a good choice both thematically and to make sure the victory isn't too easy

having someone like senku or chrome who understands the platinum method to make revival fluid and then have it done in less than a day, or having suika simply find some extra revival fluid lying around like she was initially planning would, again, be anticlimactic, it would've lacked impact after everything they've been through

these 3 chapters also nicely bring back the theme of science not being exclusive to the “pros”, everyone can use it as long as they have the proper steps to follow, the most impressive example before this was the corn city crew managing to make a diamond by following senku’s instructions despite not having any scientists on board (and before that, gen and the villagers making a telescope)

and now suika is even more impressive, being a literal child and all, even though she wasn't able to understand the more complex methods, there was still a way for her to succeed, all she needed was to be patient and diligently go at it step by step, i adore these 3 chapters and i love suika so much now it's insane

suika being the one to get revived serves another purpose as well...

honestly, already around 188/189 i was starting to get really worried about how the story would handle the emotional aftermath

shonen jump manga has a tendency to just gloss over the psychological consequences of traumatic events (one moment i remember finding really frustrating was in bnha, when kirishima gets really fucked up during the overhaul arc but the next time we see him he’s just joking around about looking like a mummy because of all his bandages🙄), so i was worried they wouldn't treat the aftermath of an event like this with the gravity it deserves, (i think LITERALLY DYING could be considered a traumatic event but i'm no psychologist🤔)

suika’s time alone shows a nice contrast to senku, while senku is definitely not emotionless, during his time alone before taiju was revived he is still very cool and collected, not showing any emotional weakness like the king of repression he is

suika is a whole different story, she’s a kid, she doesn't repress her emotions like senku does, so during her time alone she is scared and lonely, especially at the beginning, we see her breaking down into tears multiple times, imagining her friends statues talking to her, hugging kohaku’s statue for comfort etc

this really provided the emotional catharsis i was hoping for, through suika, the audience is genuinely able to feel the gravity of what has happened

i do wish more of the older characters could be allowed to show emotional weakness like this, but i guess having suika serve as a proxy for everyone works well enough

on that note, senku was alone for only 6 months and even then its implied in treasure island that he may have a problem with loneliness

suika on the other hand was alone for YEARS, i can only imagine how that affected her mental state, tho honestly i can't say i expect the story to delve into something like that too deeply (or at all) since this is a shonen manga after all.. 

immortality

i’ve seen some people interpreting hyoga’s resurrection in 197 as “they can revive somebody that died from an injury, but people will still die eventually due to old age”, but i don’t think that's really the case, people don’t just die from “old age” by itself, they die because their body slowly degrades over time, which makes it harder to fight against numerous diseases, one of which will eventually get you and kill you

but dr stone (aka the combination of medusa+revival fluid) can nullify that degradation and bring your body back into a healthy state, we’ve already seen this with kaseki on treasure island where senku explains that dr stone healed his arthritis, a disease which probably would have lead to his natural death sooner or later

while we already know kaseki was in better shape than most people his age, it’s still surprising to see an old man like him jumping around so energetically, thats how much the restoration improved his health

we also know it healed mirai who was brain dead before being revived, so i think it's a pretty safe bet that it can heal other brain related diseases such as alzheimers

if so, then dr stone can heal injuries, diseases and even death as we’ve seen with hyoga, i think it’s pretty accurate of senku to say that humanity has gained immortality with it

honestly this development has been a long time coming, the idea of dr stone being able to bring back the dead was introduced as early as the first arc when tsukasa killed senku but taiyuzu were able to bring him back, but it really does seem like such an out there concept so i’m interested to see how they will base it in science... (and also how they will handle the whole… moral dilemma of immortality but i ain't ready to even attempt to think abt any of that)

my favourite theory that has sprung up from this is that if people really can live forever thanks to dr stone, it could be that whyman is actually a normal human who has been continually petrifying and reviving themself to live for 3700 years

wat will happen nixt?

back when 196 came out it kinda dawned on me just how much the crew has been set back in the progress they've made so far that it was giving me anxiety for real gfgdfg

seven years have passed, and in that time a lot of the tools they've made must have degraded, along with that, everyone they've revived so far has been turned to stone once again, there was nobody to upkeep the wheat fields and sundial and basically everything they've left in japan, and after all this time even the perseus must be in bad shape and in need of repair, as chrome suggests

how long will it take them to repair the ship? to repair all the tools they've lost? their original plan was to go around the world building cities where they can get all the materials to work on that rocket they’ll be making eventually, they already kinda started up corn city, but that has been out of commission for a while now, they were planning to build superalloy city in south america and have barely started on that

so they need to keep building these cities but also need to go back and revive everyone if they don't want their progress to go to waste, how will they go about this?? will they just tackle it one by one or split into teams, so one team can stay behind and work on superalloy city and the other can go back and revive everyone? who knows?? ryusui certainly made it sound way easier than how i've been imagining it dfgdfg

other than that, i gotta wonder are the kingdom of science really the only humans left on earth now that there's been a second worldwide petrification, or has some other group revived somewhere during the timeskip, OR maybe there might be another group out there who also devised the revival formula and was able to escape the 2nd petrification, which would then give them 7 more years to develop while senku n co are just stuck in stone 🤔 dr stone has always had some human antagonist so i wonder who’s next now that xeno and stanley have been dealt with

honestly my favourite arc has always been age of exploration precisely because it doesn't have any human threat and the characters are just left to craft and work on rebuilding society without the pressure of a looming war or a crazy american hunting them down, so honestly i'm hoping we will get another arc like that now, i think the crew definitely deserves it dnjd

random bonus ramblings

-using poop and shells to create nitric acid and it being a process that would take a long time is something that has already been mentioned multiple times in the series, so it’s really cool to see it actually utilized in the story rather than being random throwaway info

makes you wonder what other seemingly throwaway lines could actually be foreshadowing...

😬😬😬

-since joel managed to fix a medusa im very excited for him to be revived so we can learn how he did it and how the petrification works in the first place!! (and for joel and kaseki to finally meet in general)

-drst has a habit of introducing a character in one arc and having them be Just kinda There for some time until they finally have their time to shine in a later arc, examples being minami and of course yuzuriha, so i'm wondering if the same will happen later on with some of the americans, charlotte seems like a good contender for this (the girl that suika saved in 185, i gotta wonder how she felt having to shoot down the people who saved her life)

-on that note i feel like matsukaze also still hasn’t had his time to shine or contribute in any unique way yet (other than exposition gdvdj)

-i was also really liking dr brody as a character so i was kinda disappointed that he just blindly decided to kill everyone in corn city instead of talking and trying to come to an agreement w them like he has been up till then (though i guess it was necessary for the plot🙄), interested to see what they do with him as well

-i wanna see stanxeno on screen makeout sesh 🙄!

-will senku not losing his petrification cracks be explained? if he still has them, will xeno, stanley, luna etc still have theirs too? (honestly i hope so, i don’t wanna have to stare at xeno’s big shiny forehead for the rest of the series gsdhgfd)

ok i feel like i've finally exhausted all the numerous thoughts i had sdfdfd thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble on for so long and congratulations if you've managed to make it til the end <3

in conclusion
