What’s up with endeavour’s backstory because even after seeing the translated scans I’m like ???

I think it's a bit little to be called a backstory--it's more just an explanation/exposition.

That said I do think for now it will be a bit confusing because we'll more chapters to see what Hori is actually trying to convey with these new developments.

From what I've seen I feel people are putting a bit to much emphasis on the whole father/daughter death thing, feeling like it's his origin story in someway. This has lead to people who are critical of his character to question how this big event in his life wasn't brought up before, or how he had to be told by All Might that children and the future is what his powers should be used for as the new #1, when he should already know that given what he saw.

Personally, I don't think Enji ever viewed that moment as a defining trait of why he wanted to be a Hero. Not to say it didn't effect him greatly, but the reason he didn't really think about it before is because he never really understood how much it impacted his life. This wasn't like Nana dying for All Might, or Oboro's death for Aizawa, where they never could forget it and clearly understand that it was an event that shaped their current view of the world.

These were random strangers and so most of the time, once he got over his shock from the experience, he didn't think about them. He wasn't constantly reminded by their lack of presence in his life. His life moved on and he's gone through a lot in that time. So to me it makes sense he only recalls it when thinking back to his younger years and is actually seeming to wonder how he even became the person he did.

Now, with reflection he remembered that moment and can see how it effected his outlook on life, and probably influenced his jealously of All Might and his name as a Hero.

I don't think that some of takes where people say he took the wrong thing from incident are necessarily fair. It's true that I believe Enji didn't see the fatherly instinct in that moment and probably took away, instead the helplessness of the situation, figuring that if the father was stronger (the super-human individual he perceived All Might to be) he could saved both himself and his daughter. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad take away either, or even a surprising one given Enji was a young teen at the time--aka a child himself.

Most kids wouldn't look at that situation from a parental perspective--a "I will be the type of parent that dies to try and save my child, and probably more from the perspective of "If that was my father I'd want him to be able to save us". So it's not shocking to me that Enji didn't take away a lesson in parenting from the situation. Also, even as bad as a father as Enji has been, if he didn't freeze up, I'm sure he'd die to save his kids--heck he probably would have died to save Shoto even before his character arc. Just because a parent is willing to risk their life for their child doesn't mean they're a good, non-abusive parent.

As for what all of Enji's self refection means, again, I don't think it's possible to say yet. From what we've seen, I'd say maybe he's turned his weaknesses into his strength--aka his stubbornness to keep going in order to prove himself. At least I hope it is, because this late in the story, that is rushing toward an ending we don't have time for Enji to not move forward with his character development. But we won't know for sure until we see more of what these new revelations mean for/to Enji and how they might effect how he acts moving forward.

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

#my path of self improvement has been less self righteous and personally gainful #and more just. a lot of embarrassment and pain #like i wouldnt change the path i took to get where i am now but i wouldve chosen to travel that path sooner because omg #nothing hits me like the fear that future me will feel the same way about right now me that right now me feels about past tense me

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

dropout tv is like . what if there was an animal shelter but it was for 30 yr olds with BAs in Theater

#warms the heart. glad they have somewhere to frolic and improv shakespeare scenes #sam reich has that vibe to me like. feeding them anchovies if they do a lil jump. #funding a nature preserve for them so they dont have to go back to waiting tables and podcasting #-_- #dropout

my main criticism for Baldurs Gate 3 is that you can’t keep wreaking havoc if you accidentally polymorph into a cat

#baldurs gate 3 #astarion #karlach #gale of waterdeep #i think we can all agree that a cat with a dagger or straight up casting spells would improve the game experience #tav #tavern

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.
