I just had a brainrot idea Fuyumi backstory angst, but I can't draw it yet, until I finish the sketches of another au.
But please hear me out.
(TW: Abusive/manipluative Rei, Endeavor.., unhealthy coping mechanisms)
Fuyumi has a bit of an identity crisis when Touya is gone. If he's just dead, then all the pain everyone around him trying to help, or being affected by his pain (her, natsu, mom, probably shoto too) was for nothing. All the pain and trouble he went through. Was for nothing. So she tries to apply for UA herself, so that in a way, it was like he is still going there himself (possibly twinning older siblings au).
And everything goes flawlessly! She should have passed. And after she doesn't get accepted in, she can't.. accept it. So she goes to ask a teacher or something why she didn't get accepted. And they tell her one of her parents was just concerned for her safety.
Of course her father would do such a thing- because only Shoto is worthy of being a hero. Eneraged, confused, and heartbroken, she says nothing. For three months into the new schoolyear, she barely even looks at him, until he finally pulls her aside and won't let her leave the room until he gets it out of her what's been bothering her. And she snaps.
Screaming and crying at him about the whole situation, but start to finish, Endeavor is just as confused as when he pulled her in the room, if not even more lost. Until it finally dawns on her that he really doesn't know what she's talking about. And didn't even know she applied.
But her mother did.
And that just hurts so much more. Because she didn't even have the gall to say it to her face. Once. She's about to leave, and she's stopped again, because Endeavor wants answers now.
Why she really applied, what she was hoping for, if she even wants to be a hero.. she owes at least this to him, for giving him shit over something he had no prior knowledge of. And when she's finished, he finally tells her that he doesn't care if she wants to go, or not. She's proved herself more than capable, and he shouldn't stop her regardless of how he feels (yes, this is guilt over Touya because he couldn't save him, yadda yadda). But if she does go. He wants her to go as herself, and not her older brother. And suggest doing a little more soul searching before making a decision right away.
Fuyumi doesn't end up going to UA anyway, and she doesn't tell either of her brothers about this. Natsu is really attached to mom, even though he can't see her as often, and Shoto feels guilty, but she knows he really loves her still too.
But even though she doesn't really like Endeavor, and sometimes gets scared of him, she's starting to respect him. It doesn't make up for her having call his agency for help dragging him inside at night when he's drunk, doesn't make up for the times he's snapped and yelled at Natsu over small things, or the times he's completely demonlished sections of the house he's usually in in the middle of night. It's better than nothing. And she'll take it.

i need to see people talk about the bill+stan dynamic so bad....
bill and his endless loathing for stan, the fact that stan beat him with a trick that they used as a kid and bill seeing all the traits he hates most about himself reflected in stan
stan being able to read bill like a book and encouraging ford to forget about that creep, while part of him is still stuck thinking about bill and realising the extent bill hurt his family back when he was completely oblivious to him
the contrast of bill being offered the chance at redemption for destroying his world but refusing it, while it's been stated that stan knowingly risked the destruction of the world all for the chance of being redeemed
and that poem.....

Shi WuDu and the Black Water Arc ARE the embodiment of the trolley problem.
If he pulled the lever one way, a stranger and his family dies, if he does nothing, his brother dies. He's responsible for death either way. Act or don't, somebody will die,
Overall, he's not the villain *in the fate changing incident specifically* all he did was pull the lever to switch the track. Sure, he "became the villain" POV wise but the real villain, the broken trolley, was Reverend of empty words.
Using a manipulation and fallacy tactic
"if A doesn't do _____, then I will do *specific harm* to B"
The blame then gets pinned on someone who wasn't ever responsible for the situation and the real criminal gets off without consequence.
Yes, SWD's actions got people klled but all he did was pull a lever, the RoEW trolley did the klling.

people in the comments of ep 4 thinking asterion is actually a softie and just has resting bitch face. lol. lmao even. this man is so far from being a softie hard ass doesn't even begin to cover it. this man raised two sons emotionally fucked up in completely different ways. this man created the family equivalent of a nuclear waste zone. and he didn't even mean to! imagine that! he's so bad at being a parent he managed to destroy his sons' sense of self-worth by complete accident!
he actively works against being a softie do not denigrate his effort like this!!
