I'm gonna go out on a limb and think that Nala is going to be a hacker or something equivalent in that Cyber!AU? She defiantly looks the part. (And on a separate note I absolutely want her jacket!)
you are correct! Her job in the group is to hack and break into security systems, something that used to be Vinny's job but Vex was very much not into the idea, since it would be a risk to Vinny's well being too
man i should really break down this AU properly |D i have a very long summary of the whole thing but it kinda reads like a sleep deprived dray writing wild shit at 3 am fjkvnd

I think that thereās a fundamental misunderstanding of what exactly isā¦happening with Izukuās character. Specifically in regards to chapter 425.
Iām glad that a lot more people generally recognize that Izuku is not a character that can be read at a surface level, given that heās both a repressed person with built up emotion of basically everything and also a very glaringly HUGELY unreliable narrator, but that doesnāt necessarily mean I agree with the ways Iāve seen this most recent chapter spoken about.
I see posts, comments, etc with ideas like āIzuku donāt suppress your emotions! Open up with people! Itāll be okay I promise!ā When thatās fundamentally not what is happening here.
Thereās always always ALWAYS been a distinct difference in character throughout horikoshiās writing when he is showing that a character is:
AāAvoiding emotions, thoughts, ideas less than ideal for them. Not opening up when they probably should about their problems given that theyāve been handed the space to do so. Just genuinely not acknowledging, feeling, or expressing emotions that they donāt want.
BāReflecting on the ways they feel about the world, themselves, or other people given their new perspective on a situation. Not outright reaching out to others to talk about these problems/feelings, but instead waiting until the moment they feel they have the most confidence to do so with their new outlook on their own life.
And genuinely, guys, to grab your BkDk attention rn, this is the exact reason why Ochakoās reflection on her feelings for Izuku and thereafter decision to pull away from them WAS NEVER GOING TO END IN OCHAKO EXPLODING WITH HER LOVE FOR HIM.
This was another common interpretation I saw of Ochako and Izuocha for a long time. That because she pushed these feelings away, they were somehow going to explode in this unbelievable way and she would āget the boyā because of it. That her arc would surround accepting her romantic feelings and that she canāt just push away how she feels for a career.
But yk. That didnāt happen. At all. Nowhere close even.
The same kind of goes for Katsuki, allmight, etc. They all had moments in their arc where it was spent genuinely reflecting, and the only reason we as the audience never connected it in the same ways we do ochako or Izuku was ALWAYS BECAUSE the narrative showed their inner thoughts while doing so (mostly because Allmightās arc after losing OFA and Katsukiās arc on what it means to be a hero were so intrinsically tied, both starting at the same time and ending at the same time during the final war. And because they were so tied this caused their own reflections, development, and thought process to be broadcasted to us frequently throughout their arcsā¦ to each other. They also somewhat shared aspects with Izuku, but these were cherry picked more often than not, like dvk2 for example).
To us Katsuki never seemed to be.. idk, suppressing his anger in any way because we were always told what he was doing and why (side note: this is why Iāve always thought arguments against Katsuki were so weird, bc unlike characters like endeavor or Ochako he wasnāt likeā¦ hiding who he was and how he was changing. Ever. Like the audience knows at all times past basically season 3 what Katsuki is thinking and doing. Like how do you watch this happen, stare me dead in the eye, and tell me how much of a terrible and awful teenage boy he is. Like damn I didnāt think we were this dumb. This is also my theory as to why heās most popular, his arc is veryā¦ in your face if that makes sense). Katsukiās entire mini arc on reflecting his mistakes and his childhood and his future is spent TELLING YOU that itās what heās doing. (Iām referring mostly to the endeavor internship arc, the provisional license exam makeup, and basically everything in the war arc related to him leading up to bakugou Katsuki rising here)
And see, Horikoshi will stare you dead in the eye, tell you āthis girl has taken into consideration that she doesnāt want to waste her time training her career focusing on a boy because he kinda caught her fancyā, and yāall will still say that this will explode in her face.
Yāall this is a series about learning how to manage emotions, maturity in relationship to oneās emotions, how to feel an emotion, but in a way that is helpful. Horikoshi isnāt telling you āgo buck wild, feel everything all the time and always express itā, in fact he explores why you DONT do that! Through Toga or Shigaraki, they show how grief and anger can genuinely consume you. But he also shows why you shouldnāt just put everything in a box to never look at or acknowledge, or why you shouldnāt just let your grief destroy the world around you, or pretending that some emotions simply donāt exist.
I canāt say this enough, so let me say it now, mha is about the extremes of your psyche. That you should control something, but not too much. Everything can be harmful. Everything can be good.
Izuku is not controlling too much, heās expressing just enough.
I LOVE shaming this dickhead at all times in all my posts. I love saying heās an ignorant dipshit with a weird amount of distaste for a girl who just confessed to him. Iāve joked that chapter 348 is basically an entire chapter spent on Izuku calling Himiko a mean dyke. And yet I also believe heās doing nothing WRONG here.
In fact, Iāll even say that this moment right here?
ISNT EVEN IZUKU DOING THE SOCIALLY APPROPRIATE THING ABOUT IT! But heās still TRYING to reach out to someone he thinks MIGHT be able to understand. (And frankly, this moment is far deeper than what itās being made out to be, to me it reads more like an unrequited friendship that Izuku both desires and has thought of them to have, while simultaneously showing the distance Ochako has successfully wedged between them for her own sake. Maybe it was always there though, maybe in weird, miscommunicated Horikoshi fashion, this is a representation of how Ochako always read all those āfun friend hangoutsā as a little more than that, and without those feelings the friendship never really held any substance to her in the first place. Where Izuku saw his first real friend at UA, she saw little more than acquaintance)
Simultaneously, Izuku is genuinely reflecting on what it means for the world to change, to be a hero, to live after lossāand trying and failing to gain the connection he desires from individuals who can not and will not afford him that.
Izuku is ready for the world to change, a few select characters are also ready for the world to change (mirio, for example), but not nearly enough are. So maybe Iāll have to take this back if Iām proven wrong and I accidentally looked into this far past what everyone else did for no reason, but I genuinely believe with moments like this
And this
Aand this
That Izuku has come forward with that aspect of his character development. Heās reflecting on his new beliefs, not repressing his emotions for them.
#bkdk#I will also say that while Izuku did do a bit of a fake smile and attitude for Katsukiās breakdown last chapter#he gets a bit of an excuse for that suppression. theres a time and place to be strong for a friend. and while izuku didnāt exactly say ALL-#the right things or think the right thoughtsā¦ he still imo fits into control your heart within that moment#you can ābe strongā for someone whoās sad or anxious without you being out to be an ultra suppressive self hating boy man#in that moment katsuki probably wouldāve needed that if izuku had said literally anything else but āIām glad I had this dream while it-#lasted!ā and āyour probably just feeling very weird right nowāā¦ DUDE I CANNOT KEEP DEFENDING YOUR ASS#midoriya izuku#mha deku#bakudeku#bkdk brainrot#bnha deku#bakugou katsuki#mha analysis#deku midoriya#last side note lmao: Iāve done like five drafts for this and if this one isnāt good enough hopefully someone better than me can remake this#or Iāll make this at a later time when more things come out#I just knew I wanted this out before the next chapter leaks#which are probably tonight lolllll#oh and I proof read like 80% of this so yāall are getting what you fucking get

CASTIEL: Stop. What's the point if you don't mean it? You fear me - not love, not respect, just fear.
[youtube with closed captions]
a godstiel pity party. i'd like to thank an anon i got way back in february of 2021.
#spn#vid#spnamvarchive#so fun fact i started making this more than a year ago. got it 90% done. and then was like no this isn't working#i will come back to this later.#it turns out that i needed to make some videos about cas and angels (the love club + help i'm alive amvs)#in order to make this one. anyway this video is about french mistake robert singer voice season six#i really struggled with it because i could NOT find the thread until i realized that it needed to be literally godstiel pov#it's about love and desire and jealousy and hurt and omnidirectional rage <3#it's about the fact that cas is so utterly dependent on dean for his self-image - however dean sees him that's it#it's about having a moment of reflection about lashing out before you do it but doing it anyway#it's about taking cruelty and dishing it out#and crucially. it's about being pregnant#mpregpocalypse#fun fact: i made a post about working on three season six amvs all the way back in nov. 2022#and only now have they come to fruition (this one + love club + metric)#anyway. have you heard that cas is obsessed#the thing is i do kinda want to add some specific director's commentary here. like the first verse is about cas being like.#incredibly deeply emotionally vulnerable to dean. as in: his emotional state and self-image is totally dominated by what dean thinks of him#and if dean is mad at him. and then the second verse is about... dean upsetting him and him responding to that by Killing Everybody lol#like he has a moment of reflection ['certain regrettable things are now required of me' + killing rachel] where he's like i've 1) also done#bad things and 2) i feel bad about it so maybe i will regret Killing Everyone. but then he does it anyway due to everybody keeps turning#on him. i feel like the rest of the amv is self evident. i guess i should note that 'share a paradise' is about how both of them have#a nostalgic view of the early days of their relationship when it wasn't Like This lol. but everything else i think is self evident.#oh and the reason the other angels flash onscreen with their burned wings at the end is i'm EVOKING the image of cas' wings burning. even#though it doesn't happen. i'm evoking it

Wait did both Alice and Zane record Alan when he was at his lowest point? Didn't Alice make her exhibition to show the world what she sees? To show Alan the truth about himself? That it never was Scratch visiting and terrorizing her, but Alan himself? Did she depict his "self" and Zane depicted his "persona"? The two sides of him that he wishes he can eliminate bc they brought him into trouble (Scratch representing anger and the fallouts with paparazzi and stuff, Zane representing his self-destructive behavior with alcohol and drugs and the party nights)? The both sides that caused his marriage to start falling apart? Was that the reason Zane made that video of Alan when they were on that booze and drug-fueled bender while working on the Return manuscript? Is this party video the companion piece?? Alan's downward spiral, same as Alice's photos? Do they fucking work together aasdffjfjfkfk
#Can this game please stop messing with my head??#I mean we don't know how many years passed since Alice went to the dark place#She could have met Zane long ago. Over Zane's similar appearance to Alan they both have a connection to him#So they talk about him. They understand that they must help Alan to ascend the spiral bc he's too far gone to do it himself#Or Alan wrote them in their story as a plot decide bc he understood at one point that he must confront his lesser pleasant parts#In order to become āwholeā#And he seems to deliberately ignore how close his marriage is to fail. Her POV is so different from his. Of course she mourns him#Bc she never stopped loving him. Although he did the things he did. That's simply not how love works.#Alan is a good man although he makes selfish and terrible decisions and has a questionable morale at times. Bc he thinks he can do it right.#Bc he thinks he can correct his mistakes later. That's how he's always been. He thinks a flower bouquet and chocolate and a bottle of wine#Is all he needs to give to Alice and she will forgive him. He was incapable to acknowledge his shortcomings but he tries!! In his own way!#And alice sees it. And she has accepted it's for the longest time. Alan is emotionally constipated except for his anger.#Guy needs to do some serious self reflection#alan wake 2#Alan wake theory#Alan wake 2 theory#Alan wake 2 meta#Alan Wake#Alice Wake#Thomas Zane#Tom Zane#Sorry for the endless fucking notes š

Shinomori is actually the weird one
Horikoshi said he had detailed backstories for all the OFA users. He just wanted to hint and imply at what he already had, in a way you could breeze over it, and draw the connections yourself.
Examples include little hints like how Bruce mentions being with Kudo from the very start of their opposition. Or how Kudo hints at heartless decisions they made, or how many lives they took in a straight goal, where survival became victory. (Another parallel with Bakugo, where Bakugo wanted to be someone who always winsāand on Kudo's side, that means survival, but THIS ISN'T ABOUT KUDO)
Or the small corner of a panel where Banjo's arm breaking like Midoriya's, showing that Shinomori made OFA too strong. Or how Garaki saved AFO from never being able to find Yoichi again, on Shinomori's turn. Shinomori's turn should've been the end of AFO's chase, if not near it, since AFO was starting to grow old until Garaki appeared.
Little hints to whole backstories.
Shinomori only has one scene in the whole animal where we actually see him talk more than a line or a glance. And that's his self-introduction.
I want to talk about his line, [Mine was a terrible era. Everyone was a weirdo, except me.]
During his introduction, Shinomori says that One For All can't be passed on to a normal person anymore.
Since we, as the viewer, are watching from a time where Quirks are the norm, what Shinomori said doesn't stand out at all. Even Midoriya doesn't get confused.
The normal person to Midoriya is a Quirked person. That's what the viewer thinks too; Quirks are normal.
But consider that Shinomori is talking about - and from - the past as he explains who he is and what he did. Put your perspective in that time period.
Quirks were not normal. Metas were not normal. The norm was to have no Meta, even if more and more Meta Humans are popping up.
Shinomori actually thinks that Meta Humans were normal, and that non-Meta Humans were weirdos. This was during a time where everyone thought the opposite, and that Meta Humans were monsters.
"One For All cannot be wielded by a normal person." meaning normal, Quirked people. He thought Quirked people were normal from the start
"I was the only normal one. Everyone else were weirdos." and it's because everyone else was weird, and in a terrible time, that Shinomori went into hiding
Shinomori is actually self-centered in a way; he views himself as normal, and can't understand the perspective of other weirdos (non-Metas)
By self-centered, I mean like kids do developmentally-wise.
Kids first learn about the world only from their own perspective. They don't comprehend that others can have their own feelings, opinions, or feel pain.
Kids are self-centered because they only know their own perspective, and can't understand anyone else's. It doesn't occur to them to view the world any other way.
Shinomori is like that. Metapowers are normal to him. To him, the others who view Meta Humans as wrong, and the people who aren't Meta, they're the weirdos.
He can't understand them.
Shinomori blatantly referring to Quirked people as "normal" even catches Midoriya off-guard. Because for a minute, Midoriya doesn't know what concept of "normal" that Shinomori is using.
Japan was imploding on itself and in a Depression, and Shinomori's only takeaway during his era is who's weird and who's not.
"Mine was a terrible era. Everyone was a weirdo except me."
This is his only takeaway. Or, the only thing he focused on during this time.
And at first glance, that's shallow. Until you realize that Shinomori's main takeaway was that he couldn't conform.
But to him, it's that the others couldn't conform to Metapowers. He couldn't understand the people around him, and saw them as strange for that.
Since he's his own idea of the norm, he doesn't view himself - an Ability wielder - as an outlier.
His only solution to the society that was at ends, even with AFO's presence reigning, was to seclude himself.
That way, he'd be the only person in his own worldāa world of only Meta Humans.
Shinomori was a hermit, not because of AFO, but because he didn't like society
To bring back this panel,
And bring up this, too,
Shinomori doesn't say he went into hiding for OFA. He agrees with Banjo's statement that he just didn't like society, and went to live off-radar. He cites the reason he did that: people were strange to him.
A time where people protested Meta Humans, at that. Non-Metas were scared of Metas, and those Metas didn't even want to be Metas. Those were the people back then.
He only says he evaded AFO, which would be easier to do with Danger Sense. And AFO didn't need many sensory Abilities back then, because he wasn't blind
So Shinomori didn't like society, and left it. Then he had OFA, and while still a hermit, starts building up that power while avoiding people even more.
Since Banjo managed to find Shinomori when these were the conditions, that means Banjo had no ill intent, and posed no danger or threat. That allowed Banjo to find Shinomori, without either intending to meet.
Must've been a jumpscare, actually. I like thinking Banjo's face just erupted from foliage, and Shinomori let out a bitch-on-falsetto shriek.
The fact Shinomori was already a hermit before OFA, also confirms that Bruce found him in the forest.
My theory is that Bruce and Shinomori knew each other beforehand. That's why Bruce could find him. Bruce, who spent time in cities, managed to find a single man who hides in forests.
(These posts (1) (2) speculate about Bruce and Shinomori's relationship, and Bruce choosing his successor)
Shinomori thought the world couldn't keep up with Metahumans (his normal), and still thinks that way in death. When he explains OFA, he refers to "normal people", that Midoriya has to piece together he means Quirked people.
Midoriya, who grew up where Quirks are normal, easily adopts the way Shinomori thinks of it, but on the surface level of only knowing what Shinomori was saying about the now.
Summary: Shinomori is the weird one, for viewing Metas as normal when everyone else believed differently. His belief of Abilities being normal endures from the Advent of the Paranormal, up to his afterlife as a vestige.
When Metas were abnormal, he saw it differently: Metas are normal, and those who can't accept Metas, or aren't Metas themselves, are outliers.
"They were the weirdos. Not me."
-
Side note, about the above panel
Notably, when talking about what a "normal person" is, we're looking at Nana, Yoichi, and All Might.
Nana, who looked at the strange, funny teenager Toshinori, and decided to give the Quirkless boy a Quirk; "normal", as a Quirked person in her time. She made All Might "normal" (though fitting in wasn't her intent, because they both knew All Might always intended to stand at the top), because he was a strange boy, and she liked that.
Yoichi, who grew up believing he was Meta-less, and had stockpiling forced by AFO to conform to his beliefs. An original Meta-less person, who was "normal" in his time.
And All Might, who was Quirkless, but with OFA, became "normal".

Not me getting all sad and sappy last night about Paris' life as a shepherd, as a slave, pre-discovery of his royal family and him being a prince of Troy, pre-judgement, et cetera et cetera. Especially how much more meaningful it is that Paris plays the lyre, owns a lyre, prior to all of these events.
I have done a little cursory research trying to find out more about the likelihood of slaves in ancient greece having any musical education, and apart from the girls who would play the aulos at symposia, I really haven't found much at all. So I'm going to make an educated guess and assume that someone in Paris' position as a shepherd/cattle herder isn't going to be formally educated nor given the resources to learn an instrument. Therefore him owning a lyre has to come out of his own volition, his own desire for music.
There's something to be said about Paris as a pleasure-seeking character, in contrast to the numerous extracts of Plato or Aristotle discussing the dangers of music being driven by pleasure and pleasure only.
"But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music ... Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges." ā Plato,Ā LawsĀ 700-701a. cited in Wellesz, p. 395.
This passage is talking specifically about the issue of 'new music' during Plato's time, but this sentiment of 'incorrect' forms of music certainly feels relevant to the matter of a slave informally playing an instrument for their own enjoyment.
So much of Paris' character comes back to this idea of his authenticity to himself in the face of societal expectations. His lack of masculinity, breaking xenia, and now doing activities that a slave really ought not to do.
And yet he plays his lyre anyway. For himself, for his own pleasure. At this point in his life, with no knowledge that his world will be turned on his head, that the rest of his life won't be working on agricultural land as a slave ā he has his lyre, and that will be enough.
I don't know, the whole thing makes me feel a little emotional.
#paris of troy#greek mythology#lyre#I feel like I have more to say about this in my head but I can't get the words out. it's all just word salad up there.#anyway it would be nice if more people explored his character with his upbringing in mind. he isn't one-noted.#this guy is (most likely) self taught and probably doing something 'unlawful' musically but!! he's doing it anyway!! he's making music!!#cut to later when he actually has the resources to learn properly and own professional instruments if he wants to. man.#the psychological effects of having very little and suddenly having it all. how well do we think he's coping up there in his brain?
