Seeing people hate on bnha’s ending for not being a utopia and claiming that nothing about their society has changed, and I just don’t agree with that.

Even if it’s not perfect, their society did change for the better. Crime still exists, but has gone down to the point that less heroes are needed. There’s less idolization on the pro-heroes career - in Deku’s teenage years the ideal job was pro-hero and only pro-hero, but in the epilogue other career tracks such as healthcare and technology are given equal recognition and value to the pro-hero career track. Therapy used to be viewed as a threat and something to be kept hidden because it is shameful to admit that you needed it, and in Toga’s case used outdated practices that did more harm than help - in the epilogue it’s instead seen as something regular and helpful, and that needing help is nothing to be ashamed about, and more up to date and effective at actually helping others, as seen by the therapy programs Uraraka and co created being talked about on tv. Society is shown (I’m mainly thinking about the old granny and the kid) to be less apathetic to those in need. Things have changed for the better.

It’s not a utopia. Crime still exists. Heroes are still needed. But they’re no longer the sole bandage for the gaping wound that used to be their society. Other people from other careers help serves as bandages too, and all of that ultimately helps society function in a way that benefits everyone better. If utopia is the top of the stairs and the society shown in the story’s beginning is at the bottom of the stairs, the society shown in the epilogue is on the step that is halfway up to the top. Not perfect, but improving, and one that is working on continuing their improvement so that they don’t fall stagnant and backslide back to the bottom of the stairs where they used to be.

(Ngl if I want to be more specific it’s that the beginning of the manga has them in the lower parts of the steps solely because All Might and his Symbol of Peace carried them there, but it’ll muddy the metaphor too much lol)

But anyways. BNHA’s ending does something I find much more interesting than ‘they’ve created a crime-free utopia where everyone is happy’. The ending goes ‘things aren’t perfect but they’re improving, and will continue to improve so long as everyone puts in the effort’. It acknowledges imperfections, and the beauty and importance of small steps that lead up to big changes. It promotes gradual growth as important and crucial, and that’s a message I find much more relatable than a crime-free utopia.

I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.

Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.

Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.

so we all know the explicit sakai deer imagery, right? despite stags being associated with kazumasa, deer are still an appropriate symbol for jin as well (fast, silent, peaceful rather than predatory by nature but still capable of killing). since jin = deer, what would ryuzo best be represented by? maybe there's some textual hint, or hidden dialogue that we could go off of? maybe it's not explicit, but-

yeah, no. the game literally awards you this trophy right after you recruit him. the only way i think they could get more explicit with the shady wolf analogy is by calling the trophy "the big bad wolf", or "wolf in sheep's clothing".

ryuzo - passionate, unpredictable, violent ryuzo - being compared to a wolf is fitting, even more so when you consider the trophy refers to multiple wolves, meaning the straw hats. he was taken in by them, an unruly, masterless group, and he became their leader. despite betraying jin, he doesn't lack loyalty entirely; he only remains loyal to those he views as family after they took him in following the tournament.

his primary motivations in the narrative are staying fed, and providing for his family. he doesn't care about playing nice, or fighting clean, or lessening collateral damage. if his belly is full and his family is fed, none of that matters, and i can't think of a more apt description of that mentality than wolfish.

A thought that I keep making Endeavour have, that keeps stalling my attempts to write him:

Enji is not a fanciful man, but sometimes he entertains the idea that Midoriya Izuku is a demon summoned from hell to make his life difficult.

ozai hates lu ten for a rather vast number of reasons but a big one is that at that point in pre canon, they are very much evenly matched. ozai does not know if he would be able to take lu ten in a fight. and obviously ozai isnt one to take down his opponents in actual fights unless he knows he could win (which is why he has a habit of beating children and making other people do his dirty work. naturally.). its left up in the air about how strong azula is compared to ozai, but the thing that makes azula being so strong different from lu ten being strong is because lu ten is not ozais child, and therefore he cant control him. ozai doubts that lu ten was even intimidated by him when he was a child, and not just because he could hide behind iroh. hes a defiant, snarly little shit down to the very core, always insisting on stepping all over ozais toes- unsurprising, because his wretch of a mother was always loud about her disdain for him too (and ozai had only been fresh of his teens when irohs old lady was still taking up space in his home, glaring down at him and giving him lip). and ozai can tell that hes very close to generating lightning. which means he has to die as soon as ozai can make it possible. because this world is not big enough for both of them.

tbh i think abt the black feathers in teruhashi's aura sooo much.. fallen angel imagery w her would go SO hard

[onikiribattousai]

My version of Roo AKA Root Of Evil and some headcanon of her:

Roo is based on Angra Mainyu/Ahriman from Zoroastrian Mythology

For those who doesn't know who is Angra Mainyu:

The most common theory of Roo was her being Eve, I headcanon her that the reason why Roo looks like Eve because she needs a body and since Eve is the first human who committed sin, Roo took over her body ( Don't ask me why, I thought it would be a cool concept that she possessed Eve, besides it kinda like how Kenjaku took over Geto's body in Jujutsu Kaisen, also demonic possession would be a neat if it exist ij Helluverse).

Roo can manipulate and possessed anyone, doesn't matter if it was a demon, angel or sinners . Perhpas the reason why Lilith left Lucifer and Charlie, because she can manipulate her and how dangerous she can be if she ever knew Charlie's existence.

Roo needs more power because she is not really strong on her own. That's why she uses Alastor as her pawn/toy and her treatment to him is probably far more worse than Valentino's treatment to Angel Dust or Mammon to Fizz (I can imagine Roo is greedier than Mammon himself, since she is the root of evil), this can also mean why Alastor disappears for 7 years and how he desperately wanted to be free (one of the harsh treatment to him was stitching his mouth to make sure he smiled all the time, poor Al)

I also headcanon that Roo's personality is extremely sadist, manipulative and can be a bit of possessive to her subject. But she can get bored if her "toys" are useless and would tossed them away in a horrible way (When it comes making an antagonist, I always make them as sadistic, manipulative, psycho, backstabbing, and a bit abusive kind of villain, haha😅)

Like Vox, Roo can spy others with her eyes and since her eyes are all over Hell, she can watches anyone (and possibly picking her new "toy"). Just imagine how fucked up it will be if those eyes were all of her disposed "toys" that died during extermination

Roo's chains can come into any color, her main chain was the same chain as Alastor.

I also did headcanon Roo can changed her appearance to persuade her victim to made contract with her, I imagined that Roo can also make herself look like Lilith and since there is another theory that Alastor making contract with Lilith, Roo probably shapeshift into her and based on my previous headcanon, this is the reason why Lilith left, so Roo can't manipulate her and her family (other than she still thinks that Roo is Eve)

Completely aware that she can't be destroyed since good can't exist without evil

(I was listening to Juby's version of Outer Science and thinking that this song kinda suits her)

gahhhhhhhhhh

there's so much i could say about this cause it kind of is true of many many of the ocs i design and it doesn't usually actually become something i have to think too much on but i realized i've never been very clear about ... let's say... yuichi and his gender ????

mostly because i myself am not sure about it ?? or rather i never decided specifically or ... ??

or well. i know his gender well enough. but not his ... *squints* ... physical situation...

like i don't really want to bring up dysphoria And Such too often in rp considering that kinda is Too Real for me so i'm like maybe he just was born that way but at the same time i'm also like... imagine the Time Govt helping pay for his T and top surgery LOL like ... as part of his recovery??? cause it's 2205 babey!!!!!

so i don't know. it almost doesn't matter yknow ??? so idk . any thots ??????????????

[lususnatura]

ahh, don't mind me, y'all — i'm just thinking about how, in my canon, nico morselli (the doctor who blamore is allies with AND also is friends with but don't tell him that, shhh lol) was the first person that it actually learned to trust after it's transformation. and i say this because, in the first few months after it's transformation, it's nerve pain was actually even worse than it can be now. and due to how blamore's metabolism is different... nico felt like formulating a specific type of anti-convulsant for it's condition was the ideal option for blamore because there was a LOT of uncertainty around how much meds he should give it. so, in the meantime while nico worked on a drug that he knew wouldn't possibly O.D. it (man's also has some experience in biochemistry + he's also got a degree in that) those first few months were roughhh.

this is because he primarily used nerve blocks for it's pain which are actually injections that are given through the spine and as you all may know, blamore's spine is like a HUGELY sensitive spot for him. and so it doesn't let anyone it doesn't trust touch it + with this in mind, it didn't trust nico at first, but for an MD with some questionable patients (he's been the primary doctor of someone in the mob for years); nico actually seems to have his heart in the right place a good amount of the time because he comforted blamore every single time he gave him one of those injections 😭 because they never got any easier for blamore to take, and i don't mean nico just talked him through it, either. man's held it's hand and everything. and for that, he's a real one

[elisedonut]

fuck i'm actually going to end up enjoying Sevpercy huh

or in a time travel way because when it comes to Snape I like his teenage self a lot more than his adult self

[gingersnaptaff]

This is entirely a drunk thought about The Mabinogion, and I am incredibly sorry for it. Still, somebody said today that Pryderi is a complete bellend, and I know in my heart of hearts they're correct, but equally, I love him, and I think Gwydion's just as bad if not worse.

[rowenabean]

Now that I'm leaving I meet things and go "maybe if I found this sooner I would have lasted longer" but... the fact is that I didn't, and I can't change that
