#hi we never interacted before so idk which of my characters youd wanna meet

Laying there, in the afterglow, Ken stared up at the stars as he caught his breath. His loose hair clung to the sweat and blood in thick clumps. Deliriously, his face tracks the source of the voice, offering it a crooked smile. He looks like shit, huh?

"Y'know, I actually get that a lot."

He sounds like shit, too, his voice a hoarse crackle.

Of the events of the night, only two things came as a surprise, the first of which being a stranger offering him a hand and a drink. The other, of course, was the fact that he was seeing any stars at all; there's a ceiling directly overhead.

He raises a hand in a wordless request for some help getting to his feet. "Could go for a drink." How he manages to speak without choking on all that blood is a mystery.

“You look like shit, buddy.” 

Etienne leaned over to look at the person on the ground. He’d witnessed the fistfight that had broken out earlier, and now observed the individual who’d lost as they remained on the floor with blood gushing from their nose. 

“Need a hand? Or a drink? Both?” Now Etienne wasn’t exactly a saint, but the other had put up a pretty decent fight and he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t at least impressed with their courage. Offering the poor sod a drink was the least he could do.

Wanna read a rant about BNHA again.... it may be very similar but I like keeping all my complaints in one place. Its nice!

---

Its so weird how far away Hori has pushed All Might out of the series. Like we never see his like reactions to things, we get like a panel or two of him every once in awhile.... He literally connects everything in the series but he gets so little in content? Even in parts that SHOULD give him some time... Nighteye and Star are especially egregious. Nighteye and All Might had been friends for so long and had a falling out where they blamed themselves but they dont get any moments together at all until Nighteye dies and its like 2 panels?

At the time I was like- it sucks but sometimes that just happens you wait so long and then its too late to talk to someone and thats terrible but the treatment of All Might since then and Stars whole character story being her and her family being saved by All Might and she appreciated that so much she worked her ass off to be like him and they dont even meet? We dont even see him get news of her arrival or her death just after and it gets just one line? JANKY.

I think I was a little harsh to say Hori doesnt care about All Might anymore before because adding Cassie just once again brings his importance up again.... it really just must be that Hori is so fucking bad at like idk budgeting screentime or planning ahead.

Like I dont understand why Kirishima got a big(-ish) role in the Overhaul arc? Why wouldnt he spend that time on Todoroki and Bakugo who are SUPPOSEDLY part of a trio with Deku and building a story with them instead of just letting them interact in shallow ways?

Like part of the reason I started loving Kirishima again was because of that arc with Fatgum but like.... Kiri doesnt even seem to matter much anymore.

Or Mirio jesus. His story was so good that arc and then just NOTHING. He even has a good place to connect him to the story with both Deku and All Might but nothing came of it and he just got his powers back off screen in one of the most anticlimactic returns... His death in the Overhaul arc saving Eri would have been better if there was nothing to do with him after...

Eri too... all the tension and fear that comes with her powers and how young she is COMPLETELY gone. Especially since she just off screen fixed Mirio.

Its not just characters too like various story/world building bits just come in and then disappear ruining the tension they bring and then theyre brought back when its like... OK WHERE THE FUCK HAS THIS BEEN THIS ENTIRE TIME? Things that should absolutely effect the story since the whole story centers around Deku and people around him.

Stains melt down about the corruption of hero society that gets dropped until these last arcs and even then its like??? Who was corrupt? This entire time weve been spending with various heroes we never seen it so???

‘Villainous’ seeming quirk discrimination thing we get introd to via Shinso even though there are plenty of Quirks weve seen that are ‘villainous’ Ectoplasm Tokoyami and Shouji all have both severe mutations and scary Quirks which brings us to-

The mutant quirk discrimination thing that we only get introduced to via the villain arc to try and make them seem more sympathetic even though there are plenty of mutant Quirk users at UA... one of which lost control of his incredibly deadly Quirk once and almost killed a handful of his classmates... youd think thered be some backlash for that. Tokoyami would have been an easy target.

Sexism apparently happens sometimes... but is only featured like what... TWICE? Once where its used hilariously to make Bakugo look better by making literally every other character dumber, talking about him beating up a helpless girl even though theyve been watching these fights for decades and didnt even say anything about Tokos fight with Momo who was freaking out against Tokos relentless onslaught. And then Star-- tho to fair maybe things are different in the US.... SHAME WE NEVER SAW ANYTHING FROM CASSIE UNTIL A COUPLE CHAPTERS BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED OFF TO JUST NERF THE OP BADDIE. (Both cases hilarious are for the male characters story you may notice)

The UA traitor- I mean... God what a thing to bring up and then drop. One way to kind of get out of it and bring some authenticity to Stains claims is have the traitor be Tensei- Kill two birds with one stone. Tensei learned all his info from his too trusting baby brother and hes another corrupt hero which is why Stain attacked him... not that it really matters at this point.
