i need to talk about rose tyler
ok first of all i dont care if nobody sees this. i just need to vent
when i first started watching doctor who, i didnt think rose was pretty. i thought both her and nine's smile was way too big, kinda weird.
then in the second episode we met lady cassandra (aka a fucking trampoline) and she bragged about being the last 'pure' human and how pretty she was after going through 700-and-something surgeries.
i never liked the idea of people doing a ton of plastic surgeries to look "pretty". my fisrt thought when i see women who have gone through a lot of them (and by that i dont mean a botox every now and then, i mean these people who try to "fix" their faces through a ton of different procedures) is "weird". "that looks so artificial". its like they're barely human anymore, and while im not gonna judge people's personal decisions (do whatever you want!) i never find and i suppose i never will find it pretty.
so lady cassandra tells rose "you could do that too. you could change yourself, look pretty, thin, like me". at that point im going "noooo dont fall into that rose, i personally dont like your smile, your face, but i would never change a thing about you"
and i think i already had kinda accepted that rose would take cassandra's words and start being insecure about herself, about her body, because that's basically all we see in media. women, young women, hating their appearences and wanting so bad to change certain aspects of theirselves. i was feeling bad for rose, bc i didnt want her to be like that too, but in my mind this was the only way the scene could possibly go.
but rose tyler looks the trampoline in the eyes and say "i would rather die."
and cassandra bitches something about her chin or whatever, and how she could get rid of it, and rose laughs it off and says "i mean it. i would rather die."
that line stuck with me so much that i can quote it word for word without even looking it up. from that moment on, rose tyler was the prettiest woman onscreen whenever she appeared.
and she had the prettiest and most genuine smile.

This is a little bit of a silly post, but I wanted to share. I spent almost four hours infodumping about the adventure zone to my sister last night and I don’t think she realizes just how much that meant to me. Like I went to bed giggly and so happy that I got to just talk about it with someone and share all this information about the show. And even though she didn’t really understand it she was genuinely engaged, asked me questions and let me show her animatics and stuff and just…gosh it was so fun. I love love love listening to my friends talk about the stuff that they enjoy I really do, but I haven’t been on the other end of that for a while and it felt so good!

I'm not really a fan of Hawks losing his Quirk to AfO. If it serves any purpose it will probably be used to help Izuku fight AfO in the vestige realm which is a fight I was never looking forward to in the first place. Otherwise I don't think it really serves much purpose for Hawks as a character because we're at the end of the story and we just won't get a big focus on how it effects him going forward.
I mean, I see people saying that him losing his Quirk has set him free from the HPSC but he was essentially free from them after the first War. They have been non-existent in the story since than besides passing mentions. From what the reports said last chapter it seems that all the Heroes fighting are doing so of their own pure desire to help, not because the HPSC is paying them or anything. Keigo isn't working for them and given the world ending stakes if he wanted to do anything but beat AfO it'd be a negative trait, not him finding his freedom.
I know people want Keigo to find himself outside of being a Hero and his Quirk but that doesn't really seem to be a theme in the story. If Hori wanted to tell that story he could have done so with Mirio or All Might but he didn't. Instead Mirio was given his Quirk back with little fan fair and All Might's inspiration and Hero heart was reinforced. The story is about people being Heroes not about themselves as just people.
Which is honestly how I see things going with Hawks. His Quirk will be a force for good that helps Izuku beat AfO from the inside proving that despite his saying his Quirk was dirty, he really did/does have the heart of a Hero.
Also, I do think it takes real Hawks out of the story most likely, which is a bit disappointing, though understandable. I never really understood where people got the idea he was going to have a full mental break down anyway and besides him flipping out because he can't help anymore I still don't really see it happening. I mean, Hori is going at light speed here, why would he take the time to focus on Hawks having a mental break when he hasn't even managed to do that for his main three villains yet, who actually need that for the story to end.
I could easily be proven wrong given that Hori's writing is unpredictable, but for the moment my guess is that Hori did this so he could take Hawks out of the fight so he wouldn't get involved with the Todoroki or Ochako/Toga stuff, while also leaving open the possibility to give Izuku a strong ally in Hawks Quirk if needed.
I know people wanted him in those fights, but Hori has a hard time juggling characters in fight scenes, something we've seen a lot in this arc and the one prior. And to be honest he doesn't serve much purpose in them either. I've seen theories of wanting him try and kill Dabi and being devastated because Enji saves his son, essentially picking Touya over him, but Hawks has been nothing but positive about Enji trying to change and help his family. He didn't try and attack Touya or even mention him when he came through the portal, so don't know why he'd suddenly decide to attack him Quirk or not.
When it comes to Toga/Ochako thing he only complicates it. Yes, he killed Twice, but as we've seen Toga's main problem isn't that Twice was killed, it's that Izuku and Ochako, kids around her age don't like her. She feels like no one cares about her because she has a bad Quirk. If getting revenge for Twice was her main objective than she wouldn't have been crying. She doesn't even think about Hawks or name dropped him to my knowledge. If anything she treats all Heroes as guilty. To add Hawks into this fight draws attention away from Ochako, Toga and her main issue of identity. Plus, again I don't see Hawks being upset if Ochako saves Toga in the way he couldn't save Twice. He liked Twice and did try to save him. At most I think we'd see him watching with a happy smile and some tears, not having a full existential crisis.

I am a firm believer that if will were to go into the upside down again Mike would simply follow him, no matter how ridiculous it may be, how stupid because Mike can’t defend himself against any monsters.
But Mike can’t stand to loose Will again, to see him leave, can’t stand the thought of living in a world without the person he loves his best friend. So he’d rather follow him to the end of the world even if it means getting trapped in the upside down or dying.
