sometimes I wonder what goes on in the heads of people who honestly think BNHA had a good ending. I don’t care how happy they are about b/akudeku being friends (or more????) or whatever, the fact that the characters are actively bitching about the lack of villains to beat up (which impairs their ability to gain money + power + fame) represents a colossal failure. the horrific death of an actual child (Toga) is seen as acceptable, the murders of people whose abandonment and rejection by society led directly to their development into villains (Twice, Shigaraki) are treated as heroic, and the conditions that led to a war that devastated Japan are still in place. so while whoo hoo Deku is on the Billboard chart with Bakugou 😃😃😃 and all that jazz, their victory is ultimately hollow. what happened before will happen again, because nothing has changed in any meaningful sense.

also, the central conceit of the story is that it’s about how Midoriya becomes the greatest hero in the world. spoiler alert: by any measure of the concept “greatest hero” as set down by BNHA, he, uh — didn’t. from a storytelling standpoint, pretending he did is just weak.

Me, aroace: I just want to see a platonic relationship between friends that is so strong it transcends the boundaries of friendship

Me when I finally get it: They're fucking

I still can't believe this is how Zim reacts to Dib refusing to give him a real compliment

Had a dream last night that human souls and Angels were both made from stardust. So the reason Angels can only use certain vessels was because, at the beginning of creation (i.e the big bang), the humans soul was made from the same stardust as the Angel. The human soul imbues their cells with that stardust, which makes the body a habitable vessel for the Angel because it is, on an atomic level, made from that Angel. which imo fucks harder than anything in canon.

A year before I was accepted into the Academy, my first passing visit to Piltover—besides the admissions office—was a brief detour to the Auditorium.

In hindsight, it was a rather foolish decision, following some distant melody to sate my own curiosity—yet hearing parts of that violin concerto.. it was extraordinary.

At that moment, all I wanted was to stay for the entire concert, to listen to a full violin or piano concerto. But I knew too well that security had no qualms with throwing a cripple from Zaun into Stillwater—even if it was just for loitering.

That day, I promised myself that I would attend a full orchestra—no interruptions.

Several decades later, I finally fulfilled that promise. Yet, despite my excitement, I kept wondering if he would have enjoyed this..

Whenever I make a post with the tiniest hint of talk about English pronunciation I forget that this site is chokeful of monolingual English speakers who don't understand the concept of expanded pronunciation possibilities. Like I swear to you you won't be haunted at night by your middle school English teacher's spirit if you don't correct a non native speaker's pronunciation by telling them something that makes absolutely no sense to them because they are, in fact, a non native speaker of a language with influences from so many language families that pronunciation rules are so wide and complex you might as well give up trying to make sense of them.

i don’t actually mind iterations of AB where she’s ‘mean’ (…again, whatever the fuck that means in the 16c); but i really do reject portrayals where she’s completely devoid of warmth. unfortunately for me, one of them has remained #1 prestige ‘blueprint’ tudor drama since 2012 😭
