Hi Mikellee

I remember you mentioned you watched a little of JJK.

What do you think of the Yuji & Sukuna Dynamic?

And how would you compare it to the dynamic (or lack of) to Shig & Izu?

Do you think Izu & Shig Dynamic taking a centre stage would have improved MHA?

Hi @kite2013

I feel you ask to the wrong person as I dont watch JJK but I do get spoilers here and there and I do think is better than MHA (to be fair, anything is better than MHA even the basic of basic shonen "MC wants to be the big boss" type of story where is all white and black mentality works better than MHA)

But I feel I can answer your question. BTW, @bibibbon can answer better about JJK as I have a rough understanding of the world of JJK.

You know, I vividly remember people saying how MHA is a subversion, they are absolute wrong...as it is not a subversion, just plain incompetence...Now, Yuji and Sakuna IS, to my understanding, a subversion of "monster who is sealed on MC and becames friends with it"

Naruto is a famous exemple of this trope. I like Naruto and Kurama´s relationship. I even plain in explore this in a naruto wip I´m working on slow snail peace...

At first, you really think Sakuna and Yuji would be like that...and I remember seeing fans who fall for that line of thought...and BOOM, Sakuna IS evil. Sakuna IS a monster.

There´s no friendship or love in him.

I dig that.

I don´t fully know his past...I think I saw someone on twitter mentioning he WAS once human but became smth else or always born this way. I don´t know...But I like the idea he embrace his monstosity.

Shig aka Mr. Sexyman is............................Nothing. Sure. he does bad stuff but he does without a purpose. Sakuna has a purpose even if you are to tell me "He wants to destroy all Japan" (I think he wants to kill a lot of people and create a new cursed kingdom, I may be wrong) I would still say ...his purpose make sense, there´s no big baddie who manipulated him ...nor "weeping child" behind him.

Sakuna IS pure evil.

A perfect anthisis for Yuji.

Mr. Sexyman (I call him like that bc is all Shig has...he is hot, and nothing else) has insane amount of paralels with Izu and........................Useless as the author doesn´t know, rather, didn´t know what to do with it.

Shig´s motivation also makes no sense. IN CANON HE, HIMSELF, admitted how all this destruction doesn´t fix his heart. WORDS THAT ARE FROM HIS LIPS. (Well, I think he said it in his thoughts, but the feeling remains)

Shig has no introspection. SAME AS IZU.

Shig wants to destroy all and everything and WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY.

Sakuna doing that because he is evil works for me because he embraces his monstrous side.

Shig is just a human...

Also, Shig´s motivations or plans make no sense...it feels half of the time he is not doing anything and the plot has to fall on his lap.

Izu and Mr. Sexyman have no dynamic! NOTHING.

Antis who used to come at me or other shigadeku saying we are gross for shipping "BROTHERS" (Bare with me for a moment) are delulu bc Shiga and Izu doesn´t even have that. DFO IS NOT CANON. IZU NEVER MEET SHIG BEFORE THEUA INVASION AND THE MALL DATE...AND AGAIN, THEY AREN'T RELATED.

They are virtual strangers...

Shig is obsessed with Izu...but is so lazy to do anything (which is a big fail for a villain...as you know, villains are notorious for giving a huge fuck about their heroes)

Izu also show 0 interst in shig (don´t blame him here but it´s odd...everything in Shig should have got his attention ASAP. He should have been more curious)

They have no dynamic...so for their dynamic to take center stage...Hori would need to create one. It´s impossible as he dislikes Izu and Shig, but assuming someone else wrote it...the dynamic should be in two forms (if I was the one writing)

Mr. Sexyman wants to be saved and teams up with Izu as they come to an agreement. Working together to kill afo for good.

Mr. Sexyman manages to corrupt Izu to the dark side (afo hijacking shig never happened thanks to izu) and well, Izu is appreciated and Shig is no longer under afo´s eyes.

Those are my options...and I would pick the second one bc WOW the heroes mistreated Izu so much, A1 too.

Thurs 5 Sept 1/2

“Happy release day everyone, exciting stuff!”

Too right Louis! Kill My Mind is out and it's awesome and the world is all over it, hell yeah. KMM hit the charts high and climbed all day, hitting #2 on iTunes and getting great press, with LTHQ going hard on the global focus.

He did the first of many radio appearances, notably the Indie House Party spot, genuinely the Louis interview of DREAMS, a full hour of real music talk and respect and Louis just relaxing and talking about what he loves with someone knowledgeable and smart who takes him seriously as an artist, I'm... overwhelmed. And Louis playing music for us? Please just give Louis his own radio show I want this content always! He also did an earlier show, played the rom com game, fun stuff but no room to get into it sorry highlights below. The Notebook still isn't a rom com though, where's the comedy? Someone needs to talk to him and Harry about that.

MTV calls KMM "bigger slicker and rockier than anything he's ever done", and talks about his note of intention, Rolling Stone published a write up and tweeted about the song (as does Rob Sheffield, "KMM is the No Control sequel I did know I needed"), iHeart says "think LBD and No Control vibes with an Oasis twist," Euphoria calls the song "a new age Britpop banger that'll shine even brighter in a live setting" and Louis "your new Britpop icon," he got a twitter moment, Power Radio UK is gonna play the song hourly all weekend, and the Comic Relief breakfast footage is finally dropping, teased today and out tomorrow.

Louis says the song is about experimenting when you're young, fun nostalgia, and looking back at being juvenile. He says it can be read as being about a toxic relationship but mostly that it's about going through an experimental phase in your youth and doing things that might not be good for you but are exciting, about "... uh... being naughty" (it's at least in part about drugs like yeah I'm saying it. It is and you know it, fight me, and also who cares, it's not a big deal.) He says, "the next few songs I have coming out represent me as an artist," "this is the most comfortable I've felt musically," "this is the vibe from now on," about the song being loud and in your face, "as promised!" and that he is "proud and excited"- yeah! Us too!!

He thanks the fans more times and in more ways than I can count but yeah bunches of tweets, radio mentions ("they're smart yeah?" *taps head cutely*), re: the fan project of a BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE (can you believe?!) he says, “so fucking incredible,” he did a thank you video, and a final tweet to finish out the day "even if I don’t always see you all I feel your presence and your backing" and signed off by saying fuck fandom factions with his emphasis on how much he loves ALL his fans.

An Arista release about KMM calls TOU “the first single off (Louis') album” and Louis said today that he wouldn't be playing Miss You in Madrid- he said he will play five new songs not counting KMM yiiiikkkes and OMG. He says he will be covering one of the songs he deleted on the radio show keep or delete game! (But not the Arctic Monkeys one so that narrows it down to what like three? My money's on the Libertines) (FYI I hope yall know I'm taking that day off just getting that out there now.) About the 1D ten year anniversary he says, "we should do something for that." And yeah what about those guys? Let's be real, we need a special section for this; he's talking about Harry. He's saying his name and casually talking about communicating with him! Asked about being in touch with the boys- he said he "saw Liam most recently," that he talks to him on the phone, that he hung out with Niall at Glastonbury, in fact he really gets into specifics and details for them both, exactly when and where, and then he says he hasn't seen Harry in "a while" but "I've been in contact with him recently, it's proper nice. Proper nice." Okay okay... by nighttime radio slots we had progressed to chatting about Harry's hair. He's asked about Harry's new haircut looking like his and he says, "I'll be telling him that yeah," and later, "I'll be sending Harry a text about his hair." Listen NBD right ....unless maybe you've been force fed a narrative of them not even being friends anymore for years. So are we seeing an end to that nonsense? HELL YEAH bring it on! A good start, KMM cowriter Jamie Hartman casually dropping the factoid that KMM was recorded at Shangri La, yes, the same studio where Harry was holed up to taking all those shrooms and recording HS2. Louis also named Japan as where he'd most like to go on tour, lol. Not mentioned once today: Eleanor or Freddie. I mean why would you mention your girlfriend during a whole radio segment about rom coms and romance amiright? Mhmm. I'm not saying we've heard the last of them but it definitely wasn't a focus today.

The lyric video exists and is cool and I don't have time for it but it shows him dressed as Liam Gallagher onstage, cute, and tells the story of a couple meeting at a Louis show and in the end smooching by a, uh, lighthouse. Maybe we'll have time for video analysis in full by the weekend? Let's go girls!

Finally, when promo was done for the day he parked himself on twitter to see what was up- he responded to a fan teasing about the Real Madrid shirt- “beaut shirt tho.” It was beautiful, the rainbow especially. He defended his height, ("to be fair he's a tall fucker"), says he liked Florence and the Machine, thanked Rolling Stone and various others and a few other things.

There were also lots of pics look go check a UA or something I'm done for I mean I also left out so much interview stuff and you all saw all this anyway! Whatever! Goodbye! Goodnight to Louis only THANKS FOR THE TUNE
