#dreams I’ve had for a while

Can you meaningfully write Nancy Drew fanfiction or do you just introduce yourself as Carolyn Keene?

I think that there’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what exactly is…happening with Izuku’s character. Specifically in regards to chapter 425.

I’m glad that a lot more people generally recognize that Izuku is not a character that can be read at a surface level, given that he’s both a repressed person with built up emotion of basically everything and also a very glaringly HUGELY unreliable narrator, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with the ways I’ve seen this most recent chapter spoken about.

I see posts, comments, etc with ideas like “Izuku don’t suppress your emotions! Open up with people! It’ll be okay I promise!” When that’s fundamentally not what is happening here.

There’s always always ALWAYS been a distinct difference in character throughout horikoshi’s writing when he is showing that a character is:

A—Avoiding emotions, thoughts, ideas less than ideal for them. Not opening up when they probably should about their problems given that they’ve been handed the space to do so. Just genuinely not acknowledging, feeling, or expressing emotions that they don’t want.

B—Reflecting on the ways they feel about the world, themselves, or other people given their new perspective on a situation. Not outright reaching out to others to talk about these problems/feelings, but instead waiting until the moment they feel they have the most confidence to do so with their new outlook on their own life.

And genuinely, guys, to grab your BkDk attention rn, this is the exact reason why Ochako’s reflection on her feelings for Izuku and thereafter decision to pull away from them WAS NEVER GOING TO END IN OCHAKO EXPLODING WITH HER LOVE FOR HIM.

This was another common interpretation I saw of Ochako and Izuocha for a long time. That because she pushed these feelings away, they were somehow going to explode in this unbelievable way and she would “get the boy” because of it. That her arc would surround accepting her romantic feelings and that she can’t just push away how she feels for a career.

But yk. That didn’t happen. At all. Nowhere close even.

The same kind of goes for Katsuki, allmight, etc. They all had moments in their arc where it was spent genuinely reflecting, and the only reason we as the audience never connected it in the same ways we do ochako or Izuku was ALWAYS BECAUSE the narrative showed their inner thoughts while doing so (mostly because Allmight’s arc after losing OFA and Katsuki’s arc on what it means to be a hero were so intrinsically tied, both starting at the same time and ending at the same time during the final war. And because they were so tied this caused their own reflections, development, and thought process to be broadcasted to us frequently throughout their arcs… to each other. They also somewhat shared aspects with Izuku, but these were cherry picked more often than not, like dvk2 for example).

To us Katsuki never seemed to be.. idk, suppressing his anger in any way because we were always told what he was doing and why (side note: this is why I’ve always thought arguments against Katsuki were so weird, bc unlike characters like endeavor or Ochako he wasn’t like… hiding who he was and how he was changing. Ever. Like the audience knows at all times past basically season 3 what Katsuki is thinking and doing. Like how do you watch this happen, stare me dead in the eye, and tell me how much of a terrible and awful teenage boy he is. Like damn I didn’t think we were this dumb. This is also my theory as to why he’s most popular, his arc is very… in your face if that makes sense). Katsuki’s entire mini arc on reflecting his mistakes and his childhood and his future is spent TELLING YOU that it’s what he’s doing. (I’m referring mostly to the endeavor internship arc, the provisional license exam makeup, and basically everything in the war arc related to him leading up to bakugou Katsuki rising here)

And see, Horikoshi will stare you dead in the eye, tell you “this girl has taken into consideration that she doesn’t want to waste her time training her career focusing on a boy because he kinda caught her fancy”, and y’all will still say that this will explode in her face.

Y’all this is a series about learning how to manage emotions, maturity in relationship to one’s emotions, how to feel an emotion, but in a way that is helpful. Horikoshi isn’t telling you “go buck wild, feel everything all the time and always express it”, in fact he explores why you DONT do that! Through Toga or Shigaraki, they show how grief and anger can genuinely consume you. But he also shows why you shouldn’t just put everything in a box to never look at or acknowledge, or why you shouldn’t just let your grief destroy the world around you, or pretending that some emotions simply don’t exist.

I can’t say this enough, so let me say it now, mha is about the extremes of your psyche. That you should control something, but not too much. Everything can be harmful. Everything can be good.

Izuku is not controlling too much, he’s expressing just enough.

I LOVE shaming this dickhead at all times in all my posts. I love saying he’s an ignorant dipshit with a weird amount of distaste for a girl who just confessed to him. I’ve joked that chapter 348 is basically an entire chapter spent on Izuku calling Himiko a mean dyke. And yet I also believe he’s doing nothing WRONG here.

In fact, I’ll even say that this moment right here?

ISNT EVEN IZUKU DOING THE SOCIALLY APPROPRIATE THING ABOUT IT! But he’s still TRYING to reach out to someone he thinks MIGHT be able to understand. (And frankly, this moment is far deeper than what it’s being made out to be, to me it reads more like an unrequited friendship that Izuku both desires and has thought of them to have, while simultaneously showing the distance Ochako has successfully wedged between them for her own sake. Maybe it was always there though, maybe in weird, miscommunicated Horikoshi fashion, this is a representation of how Ochako always read all those “fun friend hangouts” as a little more than that, and without those feelings the friendship never really held any substance to her in the first place. Where Izuku saw his first real friend at UA, she saw little more than acquaintance)

Simultaneously, Izuku is genuinely reflecting on what it means for the world to change, to be a hero, to live after loss—and trying and failing to gain the connection he desires from individuals who can not and will not afford him that.

Izuku is ready for the world to change, a few select characters are also ready for the world to change (mirio, for example), but not nearly enough are. So maybe I’ll have to take this back if I’m proven wrong and I accidentally looked into this far past what everyone else did for no reason, but I genuinely believe with moments like this

And this

Aand this

That Izuku has come forward with that aspect of his character development. He’s reflecting on his new beliefs, not repressing his emotions for them.

Marbit for the ship bingo! :D

Oh Marbit my beloveds

Looking for stuff about them is what got me into this fandom a year ago.

They way Two-Bit and Marcia just click, with the same humor right off the bat, and then suddenly for just a minute they’re not rough greasers with too-long sideburns and switchblades or pristine Soc girls dressed in white who get preyed on by greasers like Dallas. They’re just a couple of people who speak the same language, who have the same quick wit.

Augh, they kill me. Two-Bit usually only goes for blondes, but Marcia’s a brunette and one of “two good-lookin’ girls if I ever saw any.” Two-Bit’s a tough hood, but Marcia jokes with him like they’re old friends. She gives him her number.

And then as soon as they’re apart, they’re back to being a tough hood and a clean Soc. He tears up her number. He must’ve been crazy to ask for it. She drives home with Randy. (She wishes he was more interesting.) The phone doesn’t ring, and why would it? She was so stupid to give a hood her phone number. He probably sweet talks like that to every girl. Her number’s probably just one of so many others, and she’s so dumb for falling for it.

And then Bob is dead. Two-Bit gets jumped by Socs, and there’s a rumble, and Randy doesn’t wanna be a Soc anymore. And maybe Marcia doesn’t either.

Randy goes off to school, grows a beard, buys a VW. Marcia stays in Tulsa. She’s not a Soc anymore. She’s just- she’s just Marcia.

She goes down to the drive-in for old-times sake. There’s a guy there with Cherry’s friend, that Ponykid or something. He’s real familiar. She’s drinking a bit, she’s bolder than usual, she gives him her number and tells him not to lose it this time. And he doesn’t.

I’m an optimist, so I like to think they’ll last. Not without ups and downs, of course. In fact, I think there’s a solid period where they spilt up. But they keep coming back to each other, and Two-Bit works hard to become what he feels she deserves.

Idk, they matter to me. They’re the excitement of sneaking into someone’s house through the window. They’re the fun of telling jokes back and forth. They’re that feeling of looking at someone and seeing they’re thinking what you’re thinking. Their whole world is an inside joke. She’s his uptown girl, he’s her downtown man. They’re just a lot of fun!

I had a dream that drawtectives s3 was out (for the second time) and woke up mad and then went back to sleep

and then I had another dream where I was hanging out with a rosé cosplayer and complaining about how my subconscious tricked me into thinking s3 was out and then the rosé cosplayer took my hand and said “I’m so sorry. Don’t worry, everything will be okay.”

so of course I drew this

[niamhthefae]

Thinking about if Reala’s design and personality were partially inspired by heels in wrestling 🤔

He is an actual villain unlike heels but I know it’s a pretty common fan theory that before NiGHTS rebelled, they would take the “friendlier” role while collecting Ideya, befriending the visitors and helping them regain their Ideya, and then Reala comes in and Gets Them™, so he portrays a villain within their specific Ideya-collecting act (and I guess NiGHTS kind of does too once the overall plan is revealed but yk)

I was wondering why he was designed with muscles- it’s probably just to better distinguish him from NiGHTS’ daintier and more elegant design and establish him as an antagonist but I feel like he does that well enough even without muscles, so I thought this could be a cool explanation idk

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

[rangersoup]

Sooooooo, I’ve been thinking a lot about Buck’s coma dream episode. Specifically the part where he asks dream Hen & Chim about Eddie. And Chim goes “Angry guy.” And Hen goes “Hey, you’d be angry too if you lost your kid.” And just. Idk yall. Eddie doesn’t have his kid atm. And that just makes me a lil teeny weeny bit nervous. 🤷‍♀️ But that was also like three seasons ago. So they’ve probably forgotten about sliding that rid bit in there, right…….. RIGHT?????
