#i hope i cope

[codenamesazanka]

The cope:

Next chapter switches back to Geten and Mr. Compress. It's time for Compress to share his story, so of course he talks about his great-great-grandfather, the vigilante thief, Harima.

He explains that Harima came from that very first generation of children born with quirks, when everyone was doing whatever they can to survive, so it was the perfect environment for Harima to hone his skills and his quirk, though he still only ever stole out of necessity. When they put the Hero System into place, when things were calming down, Harima was happy to settle down. Find a normal job, get married, have a family.

But after a few years, it was clear that the Hero System didn't actually stop all the chaos. It just took a different form. Some of the heroes began to unofficially carve out territories, and essentially made people pay them for protection. People who couldn't pay didn't get helped, so poor neighborhoods were simply abandoned. When they turned to crime to survive, they get branded as criminals. That was when Harima started to steal again, this time from corrupted Heroes to give to those poor neighborhoods. He didn't hate the idea of heroes, but he thought reform was necessary, and so he dedicated the rest of his life to that.

Since then, things have changed, but not too much. Money's still a factor to Hero work, but now also has fame added to the equation. Villains are still often people trying to survive in a world that's hard for them to live in. It's clear Harima's dream of reformation was still needed. So his legacy lives on in his descendants, who all try to expose injustice in their own way.

Compress says that he's actually the odd one out in his family, the only one who went and became a straight-up Villain. It felt fitting that one of them should go back to their villainous root, but in general, the family is dispersed into all walks of life. But at the very beginning, he started out as a magician. He failed to make a career out of it; still, learning magic taught him lots of important things.

See, magic is all about misdirection. For instance, drawing attention to one thing so they fail to notice another. The best time to do so is when everyone has their guard down, because of some spectacle... celebrating too hard to pay attention to little things, like a coworker who has walked away, or a missing key...

AND WE GET PANELS. Of a paramedic moving Dabi into an ambulance, but driving away alone. One of the reporters in the helicopter carrying Toga toward a different direction than the rest of the crew rushing Ochako into the hospital. A lone nurse appearing in the hospital basement, approaching Spinner.

And finally, the door to Compress's cell unlocks, opening to reveal a single police officer. Compress sighs, saying that if she (the police officer) is here, then the Heroes have won. Guess they have to keep chasing after the dream... So he ask if his cousin can also unlock the other cells. One of them holds a doctor, who probably will be very needed...

PMD fans how we feeling about tomorrow's Presents

[codenamesazanka]

let me be delusional one last time: deku punched shigaraki far away. the heroes look for his body, but they can't find anything, so he is presumed dead. the remaining lov members are all in bad condition, but they are alive, and get locked away as a punishment for their crimes. after a while, they all start "vanishing" from their cells one by one, and no one can explain how bc there's no signs of a break-in or evidence of outside help. unless... (... i am trying to cope really hard here)

No, yeah, I'm going through this exact delusion!!!!!! The very same!!!!!! With variations.

Shigaraki didn't get disintegrated, he's just... disappeared for the moment. But everyone thinks he disintegrated. Nothing left to even bury. So he's just written down as dead.

But actually Kurogiri made a warp so they both disappeared into it but it's all misty and it looks like dust and that's why people think it was disintegration.

They warp around collecting the League. Collect Mr. Compress. Collect Geten and the Doc while they're at it. Doc can fix them all. Geten knows secret MLA bases.

They all escape!!!! and try to piece back together their lives and sanity. but they have each other. so they'll be okay.

Headcanon: Deep down they both want to be their fairy godparent/godkid again after losing them, but don't believe they deserve each other and feel like they aren't worthy to be their companion anymore

They both need counseling and therapy as a whole package
