It’s been a hot minute since I read the S&S chapters so forgive me if I’m getting some details wrong but I believe there’s a way to look at the S&S fight without labeling it as an unnecessary fight
It’s about how S&S was inspired by All Might, much like Izuku. However, S&S is a kind of justice that’s ignorant, that uses excessive force to win a fight, that believes what she is doing is in the best of interests but refuses to see it any other way
It’s like. It’s a fight with only one ending, between two/three stubborn enemies
One who believes what she is doing is the only right way but actively goes out of her way to kill the enemy no matter what, one who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants and controls his victim’s mind and body (takes away his autonomy to the point where they aren’t “separate people” but instead “one person”), and one who is a victim in all of this but wholeheartedly believes he was always bad and so has his heart set on destruction despite the fact that, deep down, he wants to be saved
It’s sad because if S&S had taken All Might’s influence and HADN’T turned it into a whole Strength thing, if she was someone like Izuku who saw All Might’s influence and learned that incredible power should be used to save, not to kill, then she probably could have stopped TomurAFO, captured him and taken him to All Might or something
I believe the point of S&S, one of the points at least, is that if you solely view All Might’s existence as a power fantasy, then you’re getting nowhere and completely missing what it means to be a hero
Look at it this way - S&S’ role in the manga was just to rule out one route the story could have taken
Anybody looking at TomurAFO and thinking “If All Might were in his prime form, HE could have taken him out and the world would be saved!” is then faced with a character who was inspired a lot by All Might and gives off the impression that they can do anything (COUGH confident intimidating appearance COUGH a quirk that allows the user incredible power COUGH)
She then serves her purpose by cutting AFO’s quirks down by half, showing that not everybody inspired by All Might does the right thing and shows the audience that Tomura immediately thought about Izuku when “someone who will inherit the will of heroism” is mentioned
Yes, while someone like All Might may be able to go head to head with TomurAFO and do some real damage, the point ISN’T that TomurAFO needs to be defeated and killed
The point is that TomurAFO is a fusion of an abuser and his victim, and anybody who NEEDS help should be given that help no matter what
S&S, someone similar to All Might who COULD have killed TomurAFO and prevented destruction, someone who saw his death as the only way to end this, is taken out of the running
Enter: Izuku Midoriya
You know, the one Tenko thought of at the mention “inheriting the will of heroism”
Idk I just. I can’t see the S&S chapters as pointless. They serve their purpose by letting the reader know that force and death is not the way out of this, that it’s not the story this manga is trying to tell

Ramshackle Uniforms
So, a while ago, I made some possible designs for uniforms for Ramshackle dorm, but haven't posted them anywhere yet. This is what I came up with! (please pardon the wonky writing)
School Uniform
Colour scheme: Purple and green
Waistcoat - green
Black trousers & jacket - NRC standard
Penny loafers (or preferred shoe)
Black gloves
The ribbons on the armband are purple (the same as Grim's ribbon) and green (the same as the dark green/teal of Ramshackle's walls). Additionally, the insignia on the armband is the NRC crest.
P.E. Uniform
Colour scheme: Purple and green
Standard, full-length uniform
White athletic shoes (or preferred shoe)
Black undershirt with green binding
The insignia on the right chest pocket is, again, the NRC crest.
Labwear
Colour scheme: Purple and green
Standard lab coat and goggles
Insignia on left arm (Night Raven College)
School Uniform beneath
Preferred shoe (ex. penny loafers)
Since the Ramshackle prefect has no magic, they do not have a magic pen in their lab coat pocket like the other students. (Same as in the school uniform.)
Dorm Uniform(s)
Colour scheme: Purple and green
Style: 1910s casual (based on the Ramshackle ghosts' top hats)
Option 1:
White collared shirt (with black stripes)
Green sweater-vest with purple edging
Purple tie
Brown knickerbockers
White socks
Preferred shoe (ex. Penny loafers)
White gloves
Brown felt boater hat with purple & green ribbon
Option 2:
White collared shirt (with black stripes)
Purple tie
Brown suspenders
Brown trousers
White socks
Preferred shoe (ex. Penny loafers)
(Optional: Hat, gloves)
Note: These are all also the variation of the uniform I would most likely wear, so it includes my own preferences for looseness/buttoning, shoes, gloves, etc. Other Ramshacklers may have different preferences and, thus, would wear things differently!
Additionally, the colours I was using (specifically the green and purple ink I used for the armbands and such) were a bit too dark, so it's sort of hard to see the differentiation between the different coloured stripes. In reality, they would be slightly brighter shades, and more easily discerned from one another.

I think we should ban patterned tweed doctor or master costumes just to see if the costuming department can actually style a man without relying on stripes (or an outfit repeat) to make the outfit visually interesting.
I’m legitimately actually just curious at this point.
They’ve afraid of men looking *gasp* silly like the characters aren’t the biggest clowns in the universe and will look silly no matter What they wear.
Is the person who costumed Colin Baker still alive? I want to send them fan mail. It is terrible as an outfit. Hideous in every way. Why would Anybody???? Think??? about???? it??? I don’t want to look at it. But... Damn bold. Brave. The person who costumed this man was Not a coward. I respect that.
Classic who had better game dressing men than all of nu!who has ever had because they never tried to make the doctor look cool.

i don’t even follow your blog (yet) but your self made outfit came up on my dash and!!!!! I LOVE THE PANTS I LOVE THEM!!!! like i haven’t even watched that show but your pants might convince me!!! the hell!!! those are the coolest damn pants i’ve ever seen and dear lord do i want a pair now.
you are insanely good, like how long did that outfit take??? how long have you been practicing your craft???
anyway have a lovely day (as lovely as your colorful pants 🤧💞)
Hello there!
First of all, THANK YOU for taking the time to reach out & tell me that I can't tell you how happy you've made me :D I have the biggest grin on my face rn
especially since you haven't even watched the stupid pirate show, I know how annoying it is when everyone suddenly becomes obsessed with one thing & you're not into it. Thanks ilu <3
The moment I noticed these dumb clown breeches I knew I wanted to make them and I'm honestly still surprised I managed to get there. I started the weaving in late April and finished sewing by mid August so it took me between 3.5 and 4 months. But I also made some other things parallel to working on those (for example, the shirt), I can't just work on 1 thing, that's too boring. I don't time myself when I do crafts so that's the only time frame I can give you, I'm afraid. Some days I worked for several hours on these, some days only a few minutes, some days not at all.
As for how long I've been doing this, not that long. I have experience with other fiber crafts, mainly knitting (have been doing that for idk 14 years or so), bit of crochet, and spinning, but that was my first time weaving with 2 heddles, first time weaving with linen, and I had almost no sewing experience (have gained a little since, but still far from an expert). If you could see the breeches in person, you would be able to see that they're not perfect at all, I made lots of mistakes, and someone more experienced could certainly have done a far better job than me both at the weaving and sewing. This isn't me refusing to take a compliment (which!! tysm again!!) but rather, me telling you that there's no reason to be intimidated by crafts, ever.
If you want to make yourself something that you'd just love to have but feel like it is out of your league, go for it. You can literally just make things and nobody can stop you. Experience mainly means having the confidence to just try shit out & see if it works.
Also, I really cannot recommend ofmd enough :)
You have a lovely evening as well!
