#just so Goto doesn't get himself killed by the others

[salvagesmha]

Ever think that when the Vanguard joined the League of Villains, everyone just had a talk in the bar over their trauma and why they're villains....

And Muscular, who legit is just doing this 'just because', keeps interrupting everyone else with how good his life was and he's utterly oblivious to how insensitive he's being. XD

Like:

Toga: Yeah, my parents hated my Quirk and never really accepted me for it...

Goto: DAMN, sucks to hear that! My family was amazing!! My Dad always hung out with me, Mama got me into fitness, fuckin' love those guys!!!

(Twice is holding Toga back from flinging a knife into his remainng eye)

Spinner: I got sprayed with pesticide and people called me a freak due to my lizard mutation.

Muscular: Sheesh, that bites! Everyone at schooled love these big guns!! I tell ya, I was friends with everyone back in my old neighborhood!!!!

(As he rambles, a depressed Spinner is chugging a bottle up until Kurogiri stops him)

Twice: Yeah, without this suit, I'll go crazy and split apart! No I won't!!! It's...rough. I was also pretty much kicked out of my home back when I was in middle school and left pretty much homeless.

Jailbreaker: Tough break, buddy! Though, can't relate, I was riding an athletic scholarships throughout prety much my entire life and even into uni!!! Hell, they even gave me therapists I could contact whenever! Was pretty sweet.

(Twice just let's go of Toga and Kurogiri needs to warp her back to her room)

Viktor or Mordecai rut hcs?

A/n: Why not both 👏

•Viktor Vasko•

Viktor had thought he stopped going through his ruts when his wife left him but oh was he wrong because the moment you stepped foot into the Lackadaisy something inside him was ignited.

He tries so, so hard to suppress his feelings, you're so young. Even if you're together, Viktor is still scared to approach this topic with you. Would mostly go out to some underground fight club. He honestly think that he'll hurt you if he fucks you. You're so small compared to his much large size.

Mitzi is the one that know's whats off, she does her best to help though it involved Rocky over hearing them talk which lead to him blabbing to you about Viktors issue.

Viktor wanted to kill him.

You teased him about it, and ask told him he should have just told you. You two had sex before, why should him be in a rut be any different.

It is.

Viktor is very possessive of you during his ruts, the man does not let anyone even step foot near you and if they dead...well it's not going to be pretty and anyone with a brain can realize that you two are together. Your neck will be marked, you will be wearing his shirt and you will be scented by him.

While Viktor isn't as young as he used to be, doesn't mean he can't go a few rounds.

Viktor loves to hold you after, he can finally relax around you. He feel's safe with you and during his ruts somewhere deep down he hopes that he'll get you pregnant. He'd love nothing more than to breed you, he would love to see you carrying his child.

•Mordecai Heller•

Mordecai has never happened to him until he met you or if it did then he never realized it was a rut, he just thought he was slightly more angry than normal.

While it took time for Mordecai to realize his feelings for you and to even approach the topic of sex he noticed a small change in him. Your scent / perfume, the clothes you wore, your laughter and smile. It effected him a lot more during his rut then he'd like to admit.

Was really at a standstill on who to ask, he wasn't about goto Viktor, he'd never be able look him in the eye after. Mordecai tried to broach the topic with Nico though that lead to bastard only laughing and teasing him....he desperately wanted to shook it, at least Serafine gave him a book.

Mordecai is a bit more possessive than he comes to realize. He hates when other men approach you, if he's not near you then he is hiding in the shadows making sure you are safe.

More soft, he loves to nuzzle into you, hold you. Mordecai would rather just lay in bed with you than do anything else.

Why do you smell so good?

Get's an insatiable urge to breed you, god it's the only thing on his mind. Mordecai doesn't know where it comes from but god does he want it.

Is quick to jealousy,Mordecai thinks you might leave him during his rut. Get's a lot of doubts about himself, has a lot of negative thoughts.

The Curious Case of Moonfish

When it comes to League of Villains, for the most part you could say that the group was 'usually' handled decently. Sure, not everyone got their due time to super shine, but they at least had a moment to leave a good impact on the story...

All except for, debatably one:

Here's Moonfish - arguably the most 'irrevelent' Villain of the League.

Hold it!

Now when I say that, I mean in a 'least impact' sort of way. Even Moonfish still had his due...kind of. He was the one that allowed us to see Dark Shadow when on a rampage. He got us to learn more of Shoji's quirk mechanics. More lore on how the law system works in MHA - namely death row does exist. So he does have some purpose.

But, the issue lies in if It's truly enough?

Think about the two other members of the defeated 3M trio and their impact on the story.

Muscular is connected to Kota because he orphaned the kid and his defeat signalled the fact that there are people out there that will be his Hero. Muscular, even in defeat, beat Deku to the point that not only could he not help save Bakugo, he had to change up his fighting style to be more leg based. He has a long lasting impact on the trajectory of the manga, and what doors could be opened by Deku now. He was also used to show that, yes, while a good chunkf of Villains are redeemable - Goto is not one of them. (Well, one can argue Deku didn't quite try, but that's another debate down the road).

Mustard also had significant purpose to. His fight showed that, even if it wasn't often, Class B's members would have significant time devoted to them and hold key roles in the plot. He also held a very major role of knocking out the majority of Class B and ensuring the Villains would have reduced numbers to fight overall, alongside his gas being the narratives way of preventing the Villains exit from being readily discovered. So while not on the same scale as Muscular, he's a vital part of the Forest Invasion.

Moonfish...um...he's...not quite the same level as the other two. Sure, we got to know more on Shoji's quirk, but, well, that doesn't really require Moonfish to be the only one to get that info (heck, you could even have Toga be the one to steathily slice Shoji's arms to get his blood to get the same effect).

While Moonfish allowed us to know death row exists, again, it doesn't mean he specifically needed to exist to provide that info either, especially with some focus on Tartarus coming up past Kamino.

But what of his contributions to the Forest arc. Which that is to say...um. Well, Moonfish probably contributed the least to the Vanguard's operations. Even Muscular, who got beat first, went down gravely wounding someone on their kill list. But Moonfish's track record well...

He cut off Shoji's arm...but he could regenerate it so it didn't matter.

He caused Dark Shadow to go berserk, but it only served to get himself taken down next...and again, Moonfish himself didn't need to be the one to cause Dark Shadow to go AWOL in the first place.

He fought Bakugo and Todoroki - but not only stalemated and couldn't really harm them, he was trying to eat Bakugo...you know. The person he was tasked to capture XD Something that would have outright ruined their mission since it was not on the game plan.

It also doesn't help that Moonfish's personality is...really flat as well. He's dedicated to his job, sure, but its constantly overshadowed by his love of flesh and insane nature. He's not a smug loudmouth jerk like Muscular who you just wanna see punched or someone that brings up intrigue like Mustard with his resentment of those with 'one note' Quirks. He's a crazy guy, but its not an interesting crazy that keeps you hooked beyond thinking 'ooh, this guys creepy' for a moment before moving on. As such, it's hard to see Moonfish as human like rest and not unlike a Nomu, which makes it harder for people to really get invested.

So you can see the issue here, Moonfish's contributions either didn't quite need him to really succeed or gain knowledge from, were undermined by the story itself, or were just a detriment to his team overall. He lacks the connection to past characters to really get people to root for his defeat, and he lacks being the opportunity for underused cast to get their time in the sun. He also just doesn't have the personality needed to really get people to think of him beyond just being the brief crazy guy for the League either.

It's a recipe for being the odd one out in a trio that's already underused in the story.

And believe me does his role in the Second War not do him any favors.

Muscular at least had a spotlight as being the one to break other people out of jail and, even if flawed, showed that some Villains don't want to be redeemed or find peace - they just want chaos.

But Moonfish?

All he got was a brief cameo as apart of the Okuto Island Villains, not even mentioned as a League member but 'Jailbreaker'. The disrespect XD! He's been demoted!!! The indignity!!! But, yeah, aside from this cameo in his new spiffy outfit, the story does nothing with him.

He doesn't really reunite or talk with the League of Villains that remain. He doesn't spout anything new or anything that recontexualizes what he already know. He doesn't even get his real name revealed like Goto. He doesn't go down meaningfully, isn't even acknowledged by Toga or Kurogiri. He just...kinda exists? And that's kinda the weird thing about Moonfish that sums him up in story:

He's a Villain that's creepy and kinda exists...that's it. His allies don't care about him (heck Compress REALLY does not give a fuck about him since he left him behind), the Heroes think he's troublesome but not on the same level as the High Ends or Toga, ooc he's not really someone that is given the same level of importance, he's just...kinda the filler villain meant to pad out the story? It's sad but sums him up pretty well.

...And it also doesn't help that in the Yakuza Arc, Horikoshi went about making two characters to 'replace' Moonfish in both Quirk and attitude, respectively XD

The Blade Villain's power under Trigger is essentially a better version of Moonfish attached to a person with a more sympathetic figure (even if he's kind of a dick still XD).

As for the raving lunatic with hunger issues that's also an experience powerhouse, Tabe's also more interesting and likable than Moonfish in that department. He's notable a social outcast due to his Quirk to the point that he legit doesn't care if he dies it it means he can help the one person who accepted him, and has made friends with the Trash Trio to the point that, even in his hungry state, he doesn't want to eat them. Which nets him far better than Moon being showing as uncaring to eating both Villains or Heroes alike.

So ontop of not really being liked or respected in and out of story, the narrative promptly had him replaced twice with one-shot characters who are essentially more positive takes on his power and archetype...

Yeaaaah, its hard being Moonfish. Honestly, had Horikoshi gave him Tabe's whole tribulations, where his Quirk affects him on a dietary, level he could have been received well more...but that also likely steps on Toga's arc. I did suggest back during my League Nemesis post for Moonfish that he could have been abused by his community, likely a cult in this case, to the point it warped his diet and sanity that eating 'meat'/people was his only way out and enhance his love for his job a bit more. It would give him something to stand out on his own two feet instead of just being 'the crazy one'.

But, as of now, Moonfish is pretty much stuck with the most 'irrelevent' League member for a reason

[sleepy-achilles]

You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but are you okay? Did something bad happen today? Sorry if I’m being too intrusive

Oh no! It's completely okay! I've posted about it already so it's okay to ask. Also talking or atleast writing about stuff always makes me feel better as I struggle to talk about my feelings.

I'll be ranting and well talking about sort of abuse

Basically, small backstory

My brother is a complete and utter asshole who's addicted to weed and lying. He's also angry at the world for things that are his own fault.

He basically made our lives hell back when I was younger. I mean we all have anger issues but him? He has a very short temper to go with it. Him and my sister used to fight all the time, and I mean fight, my sister pulled a knife on him once and he completely broke his knuckles punching a brick wall.

Once my sister moved out it was mostly him screaming and yelling and breaking things. And well once he moved out it was peaceful and I didn't think he caused that much damage to me.

Small detail, I hate confrontation and have always put it down to me being socially awkward.

Back story over.

It's been a month or two since he moved in and today's the first day he kicked off and I went into full Flashback mode, like yk in those films when the soldiers have the ptsd flashbacks?

Yeah I had a full breakdown, shaking and everything, especially when he slammed his bedroom door (our doors are literally right next to each other) and my tennis racket fell off the wall.

I've never had a reaction like it before and well I didn't think he fucked me up that badly until today. Can say I was in shock. Still kinda are.

This man is a bully and a racist.

Mind blowing fact is he's racist toward me. His own sibling. The same race as him. He used to call me the slur mostly used against Chinese people because I have more squinted eyes than him. It doesn't help that our uncle has squinted eyes and is also one of those rare cases where you have too white parents and very dark skin.

Like dude grow the fuck up you dick.

I think what's got to me the most is he and everyone else just blew it over when he got money.

Fun fact about my brother, he will kick off, claim he's going to kill himself, if he doesn't have money. If he can't buy weed.

He's also been unemployed since Christmas and been lying about it because he couldn't be bothered to goto work. The reason he's back. He's only came clean this week that he was apparently laid off that morning. I been knew he hadn't had a drop for the last few months.

Fun fact bro who'll never read this, goto work, you'll get money for your fucking drugs.

This man has only ever brought me one thing. He had the nerve when he moved it to charge me 60 pound for some games he accidentally brought double of. Like, you owe me a lot of Christmas and birthday gifts.

Which I wouldn't be mad about if he actually turned up for my birthdays. When I was younger he chose to hang out with his friends instead of whatever party we had planned.

Everything is about him. He doesn't care about the rest of us if it doesn't benefit him.

Oh and before people call me idk spoilt or something, I've brought him cards and gifts for both until last year in which I gave up caring for him. He isn't going to change. I know that now.

He got me one birthday card in which he cheekily told me he hoped I enjoyed my birthday present which was a trip to the cinema with his girlfriend. I was 10 btw. And he didn't even pay for anything, my parents did as they needed to get me presents and my sister was working.

And yet he expects the world and expects people to be nice to him.

Sorry

I just needed to rant.

Thank you anon :)

Why Hisoka decided to kill the troupe ?

Analysis in two parts:

1- Hisoka's pre-fight personality

2- Hisoka's post fight psychological change

Part 1 -

Let us make a point on Hisoka's character.

Hisoka's a character who takes pleasure in fighting strong opponents, it's his reason for living, it's like a drug in the proper sense of the term. If he doesn't fight for a long time, or if he's about to fight and - for whatever reason - the fight doesn't start, he'll kill anyone to satisfy his need and calm his excitement. This happens, for example, during hunter exam after meeting Kurapika and Leorio (= satisfying his need), or after Illumi's meeting with Killua and Alluka (= calming his excitement).

Other than that, he carefully chooses his opponents and will even refuse fights if he judges that the person isn't worth it.

Hisoka's incredibly patient. In order to fight Chrollo, he'll put in a lot of effort. He joins the spiders - which already isn't an easy task - and waits for three years that an opportunity presents itself, so that he finds himself alone with the leader and can fight him. The other members don't interest him - except maybe Machi to a much lesser extent.

After Chrollo lost his Nen, Hisoka assists the troupe in search for the exorcist. Shizuku assumes that Chrollo promised him a fight in exchange for his help. It's not known how long Chrollo's deprived of his Nen, whats certain is that several months go by.

Abengan's Nen works like this: he invokes a Nen beast whose shape and size varies according to the curse's power posed by his user. The stronger the curse, the longer that will takes time- and you can be sure that Kurapika's chain was far more powerful than Genthru's bomb.

Later, we learn from Gitarakuru that after recovering his Nen, Chrollo fled. During this time, he returned to Meteor city to prepare his fight and steal various capacities - in particular that of the dean, Shalnark and Kortopi. Finally, after all these waiting years, Hisoka's finally rewarded and they'll fight in a place - that Chrollo himself chooses, as floor master : Celestial tower.

I'll not describe the fight, I can only advise those who haven't read the manga to go and find out for themselves. If I could sum it up in one word, it would be 'disappointing'. But not for us, readers, for Hisoka.

Chrollo used sneaky methods, avoiding to maximum close contacts with Hisoka, while sending his puppets to fight for him, waiting for opportunities to hit him critically. Warning! This isn't a criticism, I'm not saying it's something bad, these are just the facts.

We know that Chrollo's calculating and that beyond his extraordinary physical abilities, he distinguishes himself from others by his intelligence. For me, this fight is the very reflection of his personality, calculated like music paper and orchestrated by Chrollo as master of ceremonies.

It's also a nose thumb at the relationship they've always had. Hisoka spent more time killing puppets with no interest to reach Chrollo, rather than fighting him. He finds himself in the situation where he has always been.

At the time of his 'death', Hisoka made a pact with the Nen to bring him back to life. By using condition and oath - his death being the condition to be fulfilled - he wish that his heart's functions and his lungs will be restored. And from there, the troupe will have big problems.

Part 2 -

Spiders made several mistakes. When they inspected Hisoka's body, they were negligent. When Shalnark testified to Hisoka's death by asphyxiation, no one found his hands position strange. By that I mean they're seasoned Nen users, cold-blooded killers, they know that Nen gets stronger after death.

An important detail is that you can revive a suffocation victim - it shouldn't last too long of course, but it's not as if his head was cut off. And that's exactly what Hisoka will do.

He probably used Ken to absorb the explosion, surrounded his heart and his lungs with his Gum, then practiced a cardiac massage to resuscitate himself, - I pass about after-effects that his brain would normally have undergone, which is an ease logical scenario.

Machi said one interesting thing: '[Hisoka] still paid me in advance.' This means that she was in contact with him before, and Hisoka asked her to stitch up his wounds after the fight. Machi probably understood it as 'if I win the fight, can you heal me', but for Hisoka there was probably a double meaning: healing his wounds if they were too serious so that he do himself, or if he hadn't been in fit state to do it.

Biggest mistake spiders have made has been to underestimate Hisoka.

Towards fight's end (chap 355) when a puppets horde rush towards him, Hisoka has an angry expression. Hisoka's neutral facial expression is a mischievous pout, or in fights where he has to fight seriously, he has a concentrated expression.

It's extremely rare to see him angry, and I think his change of mind manifests himself at that time. Hisoka's face takes half a page's place and is a terrifying blackness, it's an important moment. All accumulated frustration since years literally explodes during this bitter taster fight.

When he wakes up, we don't immediately notice his change of mind, but when he speaks it's clearer.

'Reality knows how to wake you up.' Hisoka realizes - if not already done - that he'll not be able to defeat Chrollo with his usual methods.

A little higher, I said the trio had underestimated Hisoka but I also think of Chrollo. During the fight he was arrogant, explaining his abilities, inviting him to flee and then, telling him that isn't to taunt him - you can't make me believe thats true.

'If you've learned your lessons from this, then next time make sure to choose your opponent and the location you fight.' Machi's words complete Hisoka's decision, it was clearly not the thing to say to him at this precise moment.

This how Hisoka's change of mind worked for me. Hisoka's an irrational person but he killed with a certain consistent logic - strong ones who deserve his attention. His death - more precisely, circumstances of the fight leding to his death - played a major role in his transformation. He's no longer undefeated and has been ridiculed, Chrollo practically whistling when he sent his puppets against him.

'No matter where they go and who they are with, I won't stop until I kill them all' It's revenge.

His actions are no longer directed by the will to fight strong adversaries, they're guided by the outright brigade eradication.

Strangely, he leaves Machi alive. Don't tell me thats because he just wants she getting her message across to the other members, there were a thousand ways to warn Chrollo and the others without leaving her alive - and considering the awkward position she was in, he could have kill her without slightest concern. - In an interview, Togashi says that he didn't want to kill her at that time because he has other plans for her.

Kortopi was visibly relieving himself when he was killed. He was a pointless opponent for Hisoka, especially considering the situation in which he found himself. This proves once again his change of mind, it's a method of murderer.

Same method when he sends Kortopi's head to Shalnark. At that moment, Shalnark grabs his friend's head - which is edifying of stupidity - to verify that it's him, and Hisoka punches him.

On several occasions, I've read some people would have liked to see a real Shalnark vs Hisoka fight. But we had it, and difference in strength is too great. At that moment, it's true that Shalnark couldn't use his Hatsu, nevertheless he could still use his Nen but he didn't even had time to defend himself with his Ten.

We don't know if Hisoka kills Shalnark in one blow, it's possible that he survived for a moment. However, this isn't what the staging seems to evoke. The fight literally takes a half page, speed with which Hisoka starts the fight and shock's power when he hits Shalnark leaves no doubt as to the fight speed end. In addition, even though Hisoka's Nen strengthened, he was seriously injured - he was able to repair his limbs in appearance, but he has no healing ability like Machi or quick regeneration like an enhancer.

The last chapter page sounds like a real turning point. We knew Hisoka was sadistic, he likes to torture his opponents psychologically (cf: Kastro fight, Goto), but we had never seen him at work physically. After his fight, he took the trouble to stage the Shalnark's and Kortopi corpses, tying Shalnark to the swing like a puppet, refering to his ability and his fight against Chrollo.

Chapter ends abruptly with a sentence / thought from Hisoka: 'There are 10 left.'

Number 10 is interesting. At that moment, members still alive are the following: Phinks, Feitan, Machi, Kalluto, Nobunaga, Shizuku, Franklin, Bonorenov and Chrollo.

That makes 9. I consider that - even if he didn't see her die - Hisoka is aware of the Pakunoda's death. He spent a lot of time with members at Greed Island and Chrollo, it's impossible that he didn't learn it.

The 10th member is therefore Illumi - reader learns of his membership in the troupe only 20 chapters later -, he was therefore recruited before Hisoka announced his vendetta against spiders.

Last point I wanted to emphasize: when Hisoka says 'there is 10 left', he includes Chrollo. This shows that he no longer puts him on a pedestal, seeing him as the head or someone important. It's simply a leg to be eliminated.

Hisoka's personality has radically changed, he has finished playing.

Rachel Bolan Imagine - Who The Fuck Do You Think You Are??

This morning was hell. I woke up late and my mom was on my case without missing a beat. I barely finished my makeup and my hair looked like Grover from Sesame Street. " But that's fine, I can just do it on the bus. " You told yourself as you walked downstairs to get your breakfast. Before you could grab your food your mom was screaming at you to hurry up.

You walk outside to your busstop and your bus pulls up. " Well at least I don't have to take you to school. " Says your mom. You roll your eyes as you get on the bus, pulling out your earbuds. You shuffle your playlist and the first song that starts playing is "I Love It Loud" by Kiss. As soon as Gene starts singing your left earbud goes out.... " Shit " Just to make it worse, you realize you forgot to brush your teeth.

You get to school already pissed off and to add on to a crappy day, the bus broke down 5 miles from the school causing you to miss 1st and 2nd period. You realize there's only 12 mins left of 3rd so you just walk around. The bell rings. 3rd period, algebra. You hate the teacher with a passion. You zone out the whole time thinking about how much your morning sucked ass. 4th bell rings. Biology. Thank God!! You walk into class feeling better bcs you love science you take your normal seat in the back getting out paper for notes on " Pollution. " The new kid sits down beside you. He dresses a little funny but you don't judge him bcs he doesn't bother anyone. Well... Not everyone. A few kids make lame jokes about him bcs of the way he dresses. He has a nose ring and a....chain??? Again he didn't bother you so you didn't judge him. He didn't talk much bcs he was new, he moved to town at the beginning of the school year and well I'm sure that he doesn't have many friends yet. If any. He sat down a couple of seats beside you. When you made eye contact, you smiled at him and he shly did the same.

Class starts and about 15 mins into notes, the teacher, Mr. Higgins excuses himself saying he has to take a " important call " so he steps out and everyone starts talking. Including the little punks who thinks it's cool to pick on a new kid. They spit out rude comments that make your stomach turn. You get up to get a extra piece of paper when, to your surprise, throws his binder on the floor. You stand still frozen. The long haired kid reaches to pick up the binder, obviously embarrassed beyond belief. When a tall kid kicks his hand. That was it for you. The last straw. You clear your thoat saying " WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!?!?!? " The kid says " Can I help you? " Yeah, you can jerk off, wtf is your problem?? what makes you think that throwing his stuff on the ground is cool? " The rude kid clap backs, " shut up bitch! " You are heated beyond anything. Getting into his face, " WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TO!?!?!?! " Before you go to kill him Mr. Higgins walks in hearing the screams and breaks both of you up. Not caring what happened, he sends you to the office. Long story short you end up with a referral and and so does the other punk. Walking to lunch, the new kid which you found out his name was James. Came up to you and stumbling over his words says " t-t- thank y-you for helping me...." " No problem " You ask if he wants to sit with you at lunch and he says yes. You get him to open up. He's learning to play bass and he likes the Ramones and Kiss. He, for some reason wants to be called " Rachel ". When lunch ends you and Rachel goto class talking like old friends.
