#it's basically pointless and not needed

I can see there is a tier to who gets put into Nueva York

(Some people just received the watch or a visit to the Go Home Machine)

Tier 1: You hurt someone/caused massive property damage (Miles, Hobie, potentially Peni, Margo)

Tier 2: Your family has a history of powerful elementals or power holders with problems (Pav, potentially Gwen)

Tier 3: You have a problem that needs "fixing" (Noir and Peter Porker)

And yes, this is based on how much damage had been caused to the outside world, not the internal issues anyone could be facing(like the Medical Model of Disability versus the Social Model of Disability) and Miguel's personal trauma

There's definitely more to it, but I can see that being the most basic way to explain it. Everyone probably has to go through some kind of program, but the different tiers dictate how intense and long your program is.

I'm kinda thinking of it as some kind of class similar to the SCP foundation. Keter being extremely hard to contain, Euclid being difficult to contain, and Safe being relatively easy to contain. Except for Nueva York, the tiers would relate to powers.

Top being a very dangerous power or the person with no control of their power (or both). Middle being a relatively dangerous power or the person still needs help controlling their power (or both is the power is on the lower level of threats). Bottom being a basically safe power that is not inherently dangerous without creative and active thinking to hurt someone, or the person is basically completely in control except for small lapses of control. (These names of tiers just being place holders for this ask).

My reasoning for this is that you can have very inherently dangerous powers that you are in completely control of, that would put you in like the middle tier. Those powers could be elemental or just something you have that no one else has.

Now I actually do like your model, but I think that would be better for a labeling on why someone is there and what kind of treatment they need in a specific tier. Someone in the very dangerous top tier might be there because their family has history with that power but they didn't hurt someone yet, meaning they are like Top Tier 2. While someone with very dangerous powers who hurt someone would be Top Tier 1.

A Top Tier 2 person and Top Tier 1 person would have similar programs to go through, but the Top Tier 1 would have more restrictions and less forgiveness for mistakes compared to the a Top Tier 2 person.

Like most Top Tiers are probably super intensive programs that take a long time to get through, while Bottom Tiers are easier and quicker to get through.

Watches go to everyone who joins, and you have to keep it on as long as you are in any of the programs. However, if you keep failing your program, or keep messing up and having to start over/retrace steps, that is probably when you have to go into the "Go Home Machine" as you are not able to naturally finish a program and can't be trusted to just keep the watch on all the time outside of the program (the Go Home Machine is probably also used a lot around holidays and stuff like that so people can go home temporarily).

There are definitely better ways to explain this, and I'm sure I can make one since I love making stupid and complex labeling systems. Nueva York absolutely has a ranking system so it is easier to know what resident is in there for what. Like there is probably another Tier that says a person is there of their own free will vs being sent there by concerned family vs breaking the law.

High-Middle-Low: Danger level. Basically how little control of the power someone has or how inherently dangerous it is.

Teir 1- Tier 2- Tier 3: Issues. What you are struggling with (1-having hurt someone/something, 2-your family is naturally powerful, 3-you have a problem that needs to be fixed).

DET-CON-VOL: Actions. What lead you to being placed in Nueva York (Detained/Detention, Concern/Fear, Volunteer).

Something like this above. So Hobie would be along the lines of High Tier 1-DET while Pav would be Hi-Mid Tier 2-CON. Peter Porker is along the lines of Low Tier 2-VOL and Noir is probably Mid-Low Tier 2.3-VOL.

I don't know if naming them Issues and Actions are the right words, but you can have hurt someone while being a volunteer or you could have been arrested/detained and sent to Nueva York without having hurt someone. Also, having "hurt" someone/something isn't always physical. Like Pav's powers could hurt people's minds or something could have been broken as an indirect cause of your powers.

Definitely don't take this as absolute truth in how I am going to convey powers in Nueva York. I just wanted to have fun making a labeling system. There are definitely problems and outliers that could be made in this system, but I wanted to make a 3 level labeling system and I did lol. Just know, there is definitely some kind of labeling going on in Nueva York.

[designernishiki]

ever think about the fact that nishiki largely spiraled the way he did because of being considered incompetent and unfavorable in comparison to kiryu by everyone important in his life, and thus was constantly neglected and forgotten about. and then think about how the bomb would never have had to go off if kiryu and/or yumi just paid literally any attention to him after the showdown. talked to him. helped him to his feet. kept an eye on him. anything. instead of more or less forgetting he was there and allowing him the opportunity to do what he did. do you ever think about that. i sure do

Hot Take

museums should label 19th-century women’s clothing primarily by formality (except in the case of garments with specific purposes, eg. “cycling costume” or “nightgown”), not by the 10,000 different terms they might be called at the time

my reasoning is that the current hodgepodge of terms, while technically accurate to the period:

1. reinforces the myth that middle- or upper-class women used to always change their dresses many times a day No Matter What, rather than what seems to me the primary-source-supported reality- that they changed situationally, as necessary

2. promotes unnecessary disconnect between the past and the present. we have varying degrees of clothing formality today, just without specific terms for each one. they had garments that could serve for multiple purposes and be dressed up or down with accessories back then. but because we don’t talk about an “afternoon dress” vs. a “ball gown” and they didn’t talk about the dress code for a party being “nice casual” vs. “dressy.” there’s this false idea that our systems of clothing changes/formality are Totally Different. which is really not the case, I think

3. even they couldn’t agree on what to call each individual outfit! I’ve seen fashion plates in magazines where the textual description and the label on the image give the same dress different names

this post brought to you by: Marzi Has Seen Too Many Gowns Labeled “Evening Gown” On Museum Websites Apparently For Their Formality When In Truth They Do Not Have The Single Factor That Usually Made A Dress Strictly For Evening At The Time (namely, revealing more skin about the chest and arms) And Therefore Would Have Stood Just As Well For Formal Daytime Events

It’s been a hot minute since I read the S&S chapters so forgive me if I’m getting some details wrong but I believe there’s a way to look at the S&S fight without labeling it as an unnecessary fight

It’s about how S&S was inspired by All Might, much like Izuku. However, S&S is a kind of justice that’s ignorant, that uses excessive force to win a fight, that believes what she is doing is in the best of interests but refuses to see it any other way

It’s like. It’s a fight with only one ending, between two/three stubborn enemies

One who believes what she is doing is the only right way but actively goes out of her way to kill the enemy no matter what, one who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants and controls his victim’s mind and body (takes away his autonomy to the point where they aren’t “separate people” but instead “one person”), and one who is a victim in all of this but wholeheartedly believes he was always bad and so has his heart set on destruction despite the fact that, deep down, he wants to be saved

It’s sad because if S&S had taken All Might’s influence and HADN’T turned it into a whole Strength thing, if she was someone like Izuku who saw All Might’s influence and learned that incredible power should be used to save, not to kill, then she probably could have stopped TomurAFO, captured him and taken him to All Might or something

I believe the point of S&S, one of the points at least, is that if you solely view All Might’s existence as a power fantasy, then you’re getting nowhere and completely missing what it means to be a hero

Look at it this way - S&S’ role in the manga was just to rule out one route the story could have taken

Anybody looking at TomurAFO and thinking “If All Might were in his prime form, HE could have taken him out and the world would be saved!” is then faced with a character who was inspired a lot by All Might and gives off the impression that they can do anything (COUGH confident intimidating appearance COUGH a quirk that allows the user incredible power COUGH)

She then serves her purpose by cutting AFO’s quirks down by half, showing that not everybody inspired by All Might does the right thing and shows the audience that Tomura immediately thought about Izuku when “someone who will inherit the will of heroism” is mentioned

Yes, while someone like All Might may be able to go head to head with TomurAFO and do some real damage, the point ISN’T that TomurAFO needs to be defeated and killed

The point is that TomurAFO is a fusion of an abuser and his victim, and anybody who NEEDS help should be given that help no matter what

S&S, someone similar to All Might who COULD have killed TomurAFO and prevented destruction, someone who saw his death as the only way to end this, is taken out of the running

Enter: Izuku Midoriya

You know, the one Tenko thought of at the mention “inheriting the will of heroism”

Idk I just. I can’t see the S&S chapters as pointless. They serve their purpose by letting the reader know that force and death is not the way out of this, that it’s not the story this manga is trying to tell

OOC: Ah. Forgot to say.

I'm going to be quiet for about the next day or so. I've been writing up a bio for a muse on another blog for about a year now. Unfortunately, it became too long-winded and I put it aside with the intention of writing a shorter version and using the longer one for a fanfic project...

The shorter one is still really long for a bio for a muse in a fairly dead fandom.

For context. This is the longer version, which is a mix of actual finished narrative and summary:

Fun things today, I called a repairshop about a replacement key and it was valued at around 4k SEK. Talked to my insurance-company and they said that I had "full cover, but not for that".

Complained to my dad about my key-remote requiring me to use the keyblade as an antenna when turning the ignition (metal-to-metal contact is the only thing that seems to work). My dad responded with "if my car-key is low on battery, my car-alarm goes off when I try to turn the ignition".

The wonders of technology folks.

Came home, sat down to pay my bills. Bank said that my bank-ID was getting old, and suggested to update it. Alright. Fair enough.

"We require a specific ID-card that nobody ever requires, or a literal fucking passport".

What.

Do you fuckers know how expensive those things are? Do you? What the fuck do you think you're doing? I don't remember having to do all of that shit last time, so why the fuck do I have to do that now? What the fuck?

I spent many hours making a covering type thing for the window in our bedroom today. It's a roof window and the room wasn't intended to be a bedroom, so there aren't any blinds or anything like that. So it gets super fucking hot in there especially because the sun shines in there all day.

I bought a curtain that's meant to block out the sun, and used it to make a cover that's the size of the window (using three layers since the curtain was much bigger). It took way too long because I'm not that good at figuring out issues with my sewing machine (there were just too many layers, it ended up being very thick, but at least I didn't break any needles this time).

So I finally got it done and was super happy! Except I can't find the velcro stuff that I was gonna use to actually put it on the fucking window so now I'm annoyed and the room will keep getting hotter until I can find it.

shittty anime again

Just got done rewatching the l*vi backstory ovas and jesus christ that whole ordeal is such a massive condemnation of the s*rvey corps (<= idk what people be searching) on multiple levels its actually insane. Like. The idea that you could come out of that being like wow what a tragic and harrowing ordeal l*vi is so cool and strong and brave etc and not like WHAT THE FUCK... GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!! The way erw*n masterminded this whole plot to blackmail him into service and then indirectly got his family killed over LITERALLY NOTHING functionally ruining his whole life and then like. Rubbing in the fact that he has nowhere else to go like his plan was just to secure this talent by any means necessary (WHICH IT PRETTY MUCH WAS?) It is literally horrific 😭 and the fact that it ends with l*vi being like At The End Of The Day No One Ever Knows What Will Happen In A Situation... so I guess I'll follow this guy until I die?

Unpopular opinion but schools should justify why you need to know something before making it a requirement

Explain to me when and how I will use Binomial Theorem in my life, and then I'll learn it. As of now it is just overly complicated nonsense that I will never use(and will immediately forget) and do not actually need to learn
