mha saying that 80% of the world population has quirks while 20% r quirkless feels so wrong to me. bc we know of like 4 BORN quirkless ppl in a huge cast of characters, like r we sure it's a grand whopping 20%. r u sure.

#bnha #i mean i know it's literally a manga about heroes so alot of the characters r gonna be heroes or heroes in training #so obviously #the majority of them will have quirks #but. 20%??#in my head it's like 2%

Superhero tournaments are really just wild like. You have this kid who can make things float and this kid sweating actual nitroglycerin. There are no magic invulnerability bullets here. If floating girl gets exploded, she will be exploded just like a regular person. And her opponent is very actively trying to explode her because he expects her to be able to not get exploded. It is their first year of high school they have had so little professional training. Nurse healer lady I don’t think your powers extend to raising the dead from a burnt crisp. Crowds are cheering them both on and there are no blast shields protecting the also very explodable audience members. Who on earth thought this was a good idea.

MK: "We don't have any other option! We have to trust him." Red Son: "*laughs* Great speech noodle boy! Super motivational!"

(2x00 Revenge of the Spider Queen)

-

Red Son: "*laughs maniacally* I, Red Son, will bind the powers of the celestial artifacts with Spider Queen's own venom, save my father, and reforge the world as I see fit! *more maniacal laughter*" Mei: "Red Son that was amazing!" MK: "Such a good hero speech!" Red Son: "-Villain speech! And perhaps my best of all time!"

(2x00 Revenge of the Spider Queen)

-

Lady Bone Demon: "Save your hero speech child—I've existed long enough to know when it's over. MK: "You still think that the universe really wants anything, from any of us?" Lady Bone Demon: "Don't you?"

(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)

-

Sun Wukong: “ENOUGH! I’ve never let anyone dictate my destiny in the past, and I’m not about to start now. None of us are! We can’t change who we were yesterday or in a past life, or a hundred life times ago! We live with the choices we’ve made, for what matter is the choices we make RIGHT NOW! Only we decide who we are and what we do with the power we have!”

Curse MK: "Nice hero speech bud! But I know better—deep in your hearts, you don't believe a word of that."

(4x07 Pitiful Creatures)

-

Hero speech.

#isn't this one cool #does everyone like the macaroni art I made #this post has been in my head for MONTHS #something something destiny something something path of the hero being chaotic and directionless something something belief #If I had a nickle for every time MK/the gang had to team up with a previous antagonist to face a bigger bad I'd have like. 3 nickles #Which oh god that's just a motif at that point #I'm counting spider queen cause she let MK escape #And then Red Son and Macaque obviously. We could count Ao Guan and Yellowtusk if we really wanted to #MK's sooo funny like teaming up with Red Son worked out that one time and then he tries to convince Spider Queen and Macaque to help him #Which is interesting right #''and reforge the world as I see fit!'' WHICH IS LITERALLY WHAT EVERY ANTAGONIST IN THIS SHOW TRIES TO DO RIGHT. And the gang has to stop i #But in that sense they're ALSO forging the world as they see fit by trying to maintain the status quo.#They're trying to control the world's destiny just as much as DBK Spider Queen LBD or Azure does.

Amanda... I miss her.

But I don't trust a single person to write her other than Ostrander/Yale. Like I don't trust them to do it right. Because like it's easy to write her being shady and manipulative and involved in secret government conspiracies. That's what she does. But it feels so hollow once you've seen her character in the way Ostrander describes it. Like she is a woman who is desperate and trying to do what she thinks is right. She has found a place of power (as a fat Black woman in the 1980s) and is doing anything she can to fight and hold onto it as powerful and ambitious men try and steal it from her. So she doubles down. She doubles down on the shady deals and the broken promises and the violence and she destroys her enemies, and loses a part of her soul in the process. And then some other ambitious politician rises up and the process repeats itself over and over and over again as each time she loses more of her morality and more of her soul and more of the respect her colleagues had for her. In place of that she gains more power, she gains fear, and an even more badass reputation. Until by the end of the book the villains begin to understand/sympathize with her more than the heroes ever will. Like THAT is who Amanda Waller is. It may happen subtly, it may happen over a longer period of time but that descent is a critical part of her character! She is a tragic character! And I feel like every perception of Suicide Squad I've seen outside of the original has her as this static villainous snapshot which is just untrue to her core imo. Like she is not a hero. But she is also not JUST a villain. She is a highly flawed character who is always descending farther and farther into villainy as she is led there by what she believes is right.

#maybe the problem is there isnt as much of a side cast in the later suicide squads from what ive seen.#bc the reactions of the government workers and prison workers are CRITICAL in this #also like. suicide squad isn't all villains guys. its a mix of prisoners and government workers with various moralities who can all general #ly join together in one thing: hating amanda waller #GOD I-#so many feelings abt her #also like lemme know if people think shes actually done okay in non 80s comics bc from what ive seen and the vibe it gets it seems bad #maybe i should go back to the 80s i probably missed some appearances there #but 80s plots are so annoying though 99% of the time its either new gods space shenanigans but weirder or visits to a made up country #obviously based on real ones which are then used for cold war propaganda #hgggggg #but like you can tell so easy when ppl dont get her. bc theyre all like amanda waller (derogatory) when REALLY its waller (derogatory)#(affectionate) (derogatory). at times with another affectionate or derogatory (or repeat of both) thrown in at the end #amanda waller #suicide squad #the suicide squad #dc meta #dc comics #blah #she gets painted as this 2 dimensional villain when to me shes literally like the hero of a greek tragedy #tonight is an amanda waller thoughts kind of night ig

That latest chapter of Palmerosa was a big one right in the feels, I'm simultaneously worried that Raphael is going to be a total shit to Astarion and also kind of hoping that he is so that the people at the Last Word can tell him off for it. Cymon is very sweet, but God do I want to punch Eurus in the face.

Aha, I'm sure Raphael will be a total shit and somehow be decent at the same time.

The thing is, I think the people at the Last Word have a very 'how they are in that relationship is between them and none of our business' - so if Raphael were to torment Astarion in order to help ground him, they'd honestly stay out of it.

Eurus definitely showed his most hostile side, but from his perspective, he's got a devil who has locked two folks he knows into contracts, and he's got a vampire spawn who literally can only exist by eating people like him and his partner, who is vulnerable and under his protection.

He has no reason at all to view Astarion from the same lens we do, and he has actually no reason at all to view Astarion as anything other than a violent and unpredictable monster which - frankly - is pretty understandable given this is actually how most vampire spawn tend to behave.

Like, even giving him a chance to talk to Cymon on his own is incredibly generous of him.

We award Astarion personhood and humanity because we've played the game. Eurus however lives in a universe where vampire spawn literally murder, kill and eat people like him so they can keep murdering, killing and eating people like him. They are an infection / parasite / curse / monster that takes over the body of whoever was there before, and uses their visage to hunt. Personhood is not something that is awarded by default to folks like that, especially when those folks are in the company of someone who already has a pretty difficult relationship with The Last Word!

This is one of those situations - that I love writing - where Eurus has his own motives, and is making his own choices. If we view his actions through our own lens of knowing Astarion very well, then he's a dickhead. If we view his actions as someone who is determined to make it clear he isn't afraid to stand up for himself or his loved one in front of two monsters who could - honestly - tear the room and everyone in it apart if they wanted to, he actually becomes someone who's behaving in a fairly heroic way to keep it together for his partner, while still allowing for some flexibility because Alectrona is there.

That whole 'everyone is the hero of their own story' applies very well to Eurus in these circumstances, tbh.

#asks and answers #palmarosa #thespectaclesofthor #like obviously not a *literal* hero #but eurus very much sees himself as the protagonist #and honestly i think anyone would in those circumstances #this is also why imho #eurus shows more humanity to astarion over time #and not less #because he starts to see more and more actual personhood #though he's still extremely concerned that astarion will just #*literally kill his partner and eat him*

At this point, nothing will get me to click out of a fic faster than bad characterization of Han Solo. You made him a deadbeat burnout alcoholic asshole? Groundbreaking. Congrats, you fell victim to his cool guy act and then made him worse!

And it's always made 10 times worse by the fact that in these fics, he's almost always still married to Leia? You think Leia Organa is marrying that guy??? You're gonna keep her married to that guy??? Be for real.

#i will never stop being baffled by how this fandom developed infinite sympathy for mini boss boba fett and 0 for actual hero han solo #and i like boba im not opposed to the boba sympathy just bffr #this happens so often in dinluke fics esp #where luke will have had a crush on han but now han has to look like the obviously bad choice to make din the better partner #but in those fics han is still literally married to luke's sister!!#like we don't need to make him the asshole here the marriage to his twin does enough to establish why they aren't together #read this one dinluke fic recently where han was luke's ex #and han was actually super self sacrificing and kind and din was kind of jealous and possessive #and in one authors note the author was like 'can you tell i hate han?'#girl ... not at ALL??? he seems like thew winning choice here idk #still read the whole thing (at least what exists so far) so I could project a skymandolo ending onto it #but thats my prerogative

Me after creating a mental list of my favourite characters from certain medias :.... I may have a type

Female characters that constantly have to prove themselves cuz no one believes in them and there is always someone who surpasses them get behind me.

#That wordy way to describe an underdog #Obviously the full description doesn't apply to every that is showcased here #I mean Katara was basically unmatched durin her era #But she had to convince Pakku that she can fight cuz he is a sexist prick #mon mothma #Is an interesting case #She does hold a high position in society #But people only see her as a harmful overly idealistic humanitarian #Which is an image she keeps so she can help the rebellion without being detected #The ome character I feel like thos description fits perfectly though is #stephanie brown #She literally fought against the narrative for like 15 years?#In order get recognized as an actual hero #Like you can tell that some of the writers had zero respect for her #And pretty much every person around her held the belief that she is not made for the vigilante life #And yes most of the heroes around her are better than her #But she never allowed herself to be stopped for too long #And in the end she became tge best batgirl #Fight me #and I love her so much for that #She is honestly so inspirational #To clarify I do not get drawn only to characters that share this archetype #There is finn from adventure time #Sophie from huntik #Gwem from ben 10 uaf #Who is literally one of the most powerful beings in that universe #Aisha from winx bart allen from young justice the animated series and so on but yeah there is a trend #katara #fiona gallagher #allison argent

Y’alls hatred toward Annabeth Chase is giving misogyny. SPECIALLY when it’s in favor of y’alls male favs (Nico).

#Mr. Percy Jackson #Annabeth Chase #the fact that Nico was one of my favorite characters until y’all came along #that boy is flawed #he’s made countless mistakes #that’s what makes him a good character #but y’all choose to overlook that to fetishize yet another gay character #y’all are disgusting and i hate y’all #Nico di Angelo #pjo #hoo #like y’all might hate to hear it and hate to see it #but Annabeth Chase is THEE supreme #talking about how Nico is a better hero shut the fuck up #Percabeth #have saved the literal universe countless times #obviously Nico is heroic but be so fucking for real right now #i hate the uwufication of Nico #and the cherry on top is that Nico would agree with me

I just rewatched a bunch of Supercorp fanvids and now my brain is rotting so hard from dormant feelings rising. I forgot how much they owned my heart. How did they inadvertently create the most heart-shattering, beautiful, romantic storyline featuring actors with the most palpable on screen chemistry I- 😭

#even if you viewed them platonic how do you not see them as having one of the most important and significant dynamics in the series???#obviously the danvers sisters is up there #but there's not a single romantic partner kara had that changed her as person the way lena did and vice versa SHE LITERALLY TELLS HER THAT #and lena wasn't a villain she was a morally grey anti-hero but kara never stopped believing in her even when others did #she was the reason lena stayed on the side of good and made their storyline so appealing #and lena was genuinely such a good friend to kara before kara's betrayal #she just got hurt and made bad choices but even kara forgave her because she understood why #and lena really went out of her way to make up for her mistakes to earn kara's trust back #but they also were so romantically coded #the number of parallels between other cw hero ships was insane for what was supposedly a 'friendship'#like on one side sure i'll accept they were 'just friends' in canon #but on the other side there were so many production choices that framed them as a couple IN CANON #non-canon can simply be subtext but supercorp was so blaringly romantic in context i feel like a crazy person rewatching their scenes #if you made it this far have a cookie🍪#supercorp

i keep thinking about rocket’s “there ain’t no thing like me ‘cept me” and how it’s presented initially as an indicator of who he is—his mouthiness, his independence, his absolute lack of knowledge of what a raccoon looks like—and like. it is those things! it is! but it’s also — yeah, so, the first time we hear it, there’s a hint of story behind it, like: who or what made rocket this?

and now we know it’s the high evolutionary, and now we know the other layer to that statement: yeah, rocket’s confident when he says there’s no thing like him, because a) they were all individual experiments for the same cause but b) because rocket, and therefore the ones ‘like’ him, were classified as defective, and he knows the high evolutionary killed them all

#gotg3 #gotg v3 #rocket gotg #mcu #gotg spoilers #i watched this movie twice in two weeks and i keep thinking abt starmora and nebulantis #but also for obvious reasons the question of identity and agency #rocket obviously being the central figure in that but it’s the theme for literally every character arc #it’s not many trilogy finales that are about characters discovering who they are but here we go #actually it does fit the mould of mcu trilogies #normally the third one takes away the crutch #im3 takes away tony’s suit; ragnarok the hammer; cacw the shield and the team #mcu final acts of trilogies take away the wrapping and ask you who you are at your core. what makes you a hero #it’s kinda fascinating that for the guardians‚ it’s ostensibly rocket #given for five years he didn’t have any of them except nebula #ofc it’s more than just him—they all are grappling with loss even less tangibly than the time bomb in his chest #but he’s certainly a significant element. which makes the ending hierarchy soooooo like.

episode 4 was the shortest (or at least it definitely felt like it) but damn if it didn’t make me feel the most

#percy is a selfless loyal brave idiot for facing the chimera alone while literally being unable to stand up #and i was so mad & scared & now i’m so proud and inspired by him #being a hero isn’t about not being scared; it’s about being scared and doing the right thing anyway #i really liked the way this episode talked about fate #& how it kinda made percy & annabeth just a touch closer #speaking of percabeth #when percy basically fell into annabeth’s arms suddenly from the poison i think i had a mini heart attack #that startled & scared me so bad #on another note #the whole “’you have to earn your parents’ love / acknowledgment & it shouldn’t be like that’ hits very close to home #and i really liked that scene #& lastly obviously echidna is a monster but how dare she insinuate that sally did a poor job raising percy #sally did the BEST job #especially for being a young single mother #so shush you monstrous bitch #anywho i loved this episode i just wish it was a little longer #not kpop #seaweed brain 🔱💙#pjo : the series

In war of wings p1 Viggo and Hiccup back to back say ‘let’s get what he came for’ and ‘let’s find what we came for’ respectively.

I love lovers that mimic each other

#vigcup #they are so similar fr #they mirror each other so much #in the show #like there’s so many times #but they did it so close to each other #Viggo literally finished talking and Hiccup then says basically the same thing #in a different scene #hero and villian couples be like #also war of wings is such a good set of eps I could talk about them for ages!#there’s so much to impact in every aspect #obviously I’m a fan of Viggo’s development #Hiccup’s as well #hiccup haddock #Krogan makes me laugh so hard too I love him #viggo grimborn #httyd #rtte
