What Deku doesn't understand is that the “League of Villains” encapsulates exactly who Tenko - the Crying Child Deku was so adamant about saving - is. He thinks reaching out a hand, smashing that hatred, and saving Tenko means getting Tenko to abandon the League. He is completely wrong - and he would've realized this if he just talked to Shigaraki in all the time he fought against Shigaraki. And listened to what Tenko said in Chapter 418.

The League of Villains is the group Shigaraki Tomura created in order to wreck shit and kill All Might and bring down Hero Society. Shigaraki picked the name and picked the purpose and picked its members and he leads them towards the apocalypse—

—and this is also the group of outcasts that are his comrades and friends; that he gathered and created a place for, where they can be themselves in a society that ruthlessly denied them that. He accepted Twice without care for his insanity and inability to use his quirk, never pushed Twice to do more than he was able to. He accepted Spinner despite being a Stain fanboy and having a weak, nearly useless quirk, and promised him the destruction of the world that hurt him; for all of League. When Toga was pushed by the other members to choose a Villain name despite wanting to live as herself, as Toga Himiko, Shigaraki spoke up in indirect defense of her choice, providing himself as an example of someone who didn't use a Villain name, and who can override the boss' words? Dabi was allowed to come and go as he pleased, and although he was the most aloof member, by the end, he was declaring the world burn for "our" sake - plural; the League's. Mr. Compress believed in Shigaraki enough to entrust an ancestor's dream and family legacy to him; when surrounded by Heroes at Jaku, he was willing to die to save Shigaraki, to let him escape.

The League is a collection of people that Shigaraki cares for - that he saved. That was always the surest sign that ‘Tenko’, sweet and kind and hero-aspiring boy, was alive inside.

Without the League, without having seen the time Shigaraki spent with the League, a reader can just write off Shigaraki and say there’s nothing left in there worth saving. The League is literally the evidence for Tenko have still existed and that Shigaraki was "worth" saving, long before we ever saw ‘Inner Tenko’.

But Deku doesn't understand that.

To go further: outside of the League, Shigaraki still had his distorted but undeniable kindness and fairness. I've spoke about it before, and sorry for repeating myself, but even towards his Villain enemies, he gives them consideration: Shigaraki left Overhaul crippled, but 100 chapters later, he's still continuing Overhaul's work - the quirk erasing bullets - and even laments that Overhaul would be disappointed when Shigaraki sees some of the bullets destroyed. All For One at Jaku tries to take over his body, at the time seemingly only a phantom voice in his head, but Shigaraki still acknowledges that he's grateful AFO took him in. It's only when AFO oversteps that again and again, taking possession of his body, that Shigaraki would tear the AFO vestige from inside out and mock him when the opportunity arises.

And there's ReDestro, and the importance of the ending of MVA. RD and his army picks a fight with Shigaraki - something that Shigaraki explicitly points out; the blame for what happened to Deika is on largely them. RD challenged Shigaraki and the League; blackmailed them, kidnapped their broker, and attacked their pitiful 6-member team with a town-sized militia; insulted Shigaraki, destroyed The Hands, tried to kill him. Shigaraki had every reason to just dust RD while the man was sitting there bleeding out with his legs cut off. Just finish him off without even giving the guy last words. It was more than fair.

But Shigaraki didn't. He went and talked to RD. To mock him for picking this fight, but it was still a talk. And when RD acknowledge his defeat and kowtowed, Shigaraki let him live. Took over his army and resources, but RD was still alive and even made lieutenant.

Without this - if Shigaraki had just dusted RD after defeating him - we would have only seen Shigaraki as a conquerer and not someone who can be reasoned with. He would just be AFO with different minions. And Shigaraki wasn't.

He can be brutal, and he seems like he's destroying for evil fun; but Shigaraki has his compassion and justice. A Villainous Hero for the Villains. It's why he destroys; it's why he doesn't regret his actions, why he wishes good luck to Deku to continue it, even after Deku smashed his core of anger and hatred. Shigaraki saved his League, and he refuses to disavow doing so. Because he shouldn't.

And Deku just doesn't understand that.

Maybe I’m just being dramatic but it does legitimately scare and sadden me to see that a lot of transandrophobia truthers are literally just…young boys. Like, actual children. Like you’re not even old enough to vote yet and you have your whole life ahead of you and yet you are being manipulated into joining an mra group that hates trans women with a passion and thinks that men are oppressed in society for being men, and constantly uses Black men as their talking point in order to sound diverse and inclusive, meanwhile they’re also appropriating and misusing terminology specifically created by Black women to talk about our own oppression in order to get their misandry point across…to say nothing of the fact that the largest people in this group(including but not limited to its creator!) have misogynistic rape/detrans kinks centered specifically around preying on lesbians and trans women and this is something that is normalized and defended by the vast majority of transandrophobia truthers, or at least defended viciously by every single transandrodork that I’ve ever encountered who argued with me(a lesbian!!!) that actually there’s nothing wrong with getting off to the corrective rape of women because two consenting adults can do whatever they want in the bedroom(yeah right)! Not to mention I have yet to come across a transandrophobia truther who wasn’t also a raging die-hard Zionist.

And that’s why it disturbs me so much to see young trans boys jumping onto this transmisogynistic hate train like you guys realize these men don’t have your best interests at heart, right? They’re only going to manipulate you into being a sexist entitled asshat who shuns and bullies the trans women in your community and sees them as oppressing you. Like I know you’re still in middle/high school but you can still think for yourselves, you can choose to be better than this, you can choose to actually learn about feminism and realize that it’s not actually misandry that oppresses you, it’s transphobia. Misandry doesn’t suddenly become real because you slap a trans paint over it that’s not how it works that’s not how intersectionality works that’s not how any of this shit works. There are better trans men to talk to about trans issues who know that the patriarchy is real and don’t shit on trans women in order to speak out about trans topics, so go seek them out, okay? You absolutely do not have to listen to shit that the “male supremacists but trans” group of lowlives has to say. Hell, tell them to fuck off instead! Please, I promise you that there are much better options, there are ALWAYS better options, and you still have time to escape before they fully radicalize you into basically being an incel. There will ALWAYS be another way. ❤️

It seems like most of the sides except Virgil are opposites of each other (Janus and Patton, Roman and Remus, Logan and Orange)

Imagine if there was a body swap situation where everyone but Virgil switch with their counterpart and he has no idea what's happening but knows something is up because everyone has started acting weird

I hope every Mal du pays echo is a Siffrin from a failed loop. I hope it’s appearance is more than just a metaphor for the loops (and Siffrin’s slipping grasp on their identity). I hope looping leaves behind a phantom self. Can you tell this image lives rent free in my mind

faith says to buffy “give us a kiss” right as they’re about to fight and buffy responds by swinging at her. when faith asks for affection from buffy, what she seeks and expects is violence, because she’s come to view violence as the way buffy shows her love (think of the scene where faith goads buffy into slapping her across the face and grins after being hit). but when faith is lying comatose in a hospital bed, buffy kisses her forehead. how would faith feel about this demonstration of buffy’s love for her absent of violence, i wonder.

i’ve been seeing multiple people tho point out that the movie IS supposed to be the 3rd drb where there are multiple outcomes and therefore no real winner. which doesn’t make much sense to me storytelling wise, but it’s something to keep in mind!!!!!

[deputyrook]

This might be a bit out of line but I wanted to share a little elgarook scenario that I cant get out of my head.

Picture him having her pinned down to the floor and hes doing hard, deep thrusts just so he can watch her wince.

He grabs her face to ensure eye contact and hisses "Such beautiful expressions you make, child."

She just lets out a breathy "I love you."

His cruel expression softens for just a single second, he's genuinely surprised. It's quickly replaced by mocking laughter as he picks up his pace, he's so close now.

"Oh, Lethalin, I hope you heard that.."

my reaction to reading this:

[mostlyghostlyy]

why do i feel like longlegs would try to match (maybe mock??) your moans? like i imagine it would sound like the end of “hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me” by U2

Anon you ATE with this idea. How iconic.

He would totally match your moans, match and surpass. He would go above and beyond to mock and contort any sounds you make to something foreign. Short whimpers he will draw out until they border screams, until he runs out of breath. I think he would do this for multiple reasons.

1.) is the obvious “mockery” tactic. He would definitely love to watch you squirm as he ridicules you with sounds resembling your own. It will clearly seem like he's taunting you when he’s doing it. If only to rile you up to make more noise. This is one of his go-to punishments?? (if you can call it that??) whenever he's had a bad day.

2.) is because I think he'd enjoy copying you. It makes him feel closer to you, like he's engaged in what you're experiencing. His way of saying “see! We are compatible!” He definitely wants to feel in tune with you, and echoing you is one of the ways he does it.

I think he does it automatically without thinking occasionally. Not even just in the bedroom, but when you’re having a conversation with him. You’ll say something that itches his brain in the right way and he has no choice but to parrot it back to you. With his own twist, of course. High pitched falsetto or in a singsong tune.

Look i love this fandom, but the fact that so many people still believe Merthur was queerbaiting makes me so mad. And the fact that these posts gets trending in the main tag is even worse.

People just don't seem to understand what "queerbait" means.
