i think everyone is entitled to their opinions. so as long as nobody's being a dick to the cast or other fans, then you can feel however you wanna feel about the episode
having said that, i think there's a disconnect in how the fandom thinks of the crown keepers and how the cast does
the amount of times i've seen the crown keepers be called "the spinoff" or "the side quest" or just straight up "filler episode" tells me that a lot of people don't think these guys are a part of this story
but they are. they have been since the start. they're very much intertwined with bells hells and the events of c3. heck, they have more connections to the gods than our group does. so you know they're gonna play a big role in the upcoming arc and final battle

Look, I don’t wanna get everyone’s hopes up, but I might have to get everyone’s hopes up
My initial thoughts on chapter 395 were to be enveloped in the tragedy of this ending. I could already tell some of the criticisms that would come at it, but I was also interested in thoroughly considering the chapter as fairly as possible. Whether or not it involves stale tropes, such tropes still have the potential to bring meaning and emotion--and to be honest, MHA has been pretty good at that since the get-go. The manga is pretty much defined by refreshing and playing with stale shounen tropes. I am willing to give this chapter as-is a chance. I comforted friends who were hit hard by the chapter. I allowed myself to feel the sorrow ushered in by Himiko Toga’s chosen end.
But then I started translating the chapter, and my melancholy didn’t last fucking long.
Because...I’m gonna be real with you, there are a LOT of questions this chapter raises, but only if you’re paying attention.
So like.
Look.
I don’t wanna get your hopes up.
Himiko Toga may really be dead.
I don’t actually know how this will all play out.
But...
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS IS SUS AS HELL
1. Hello???
Tumblr media
Why is the All Might doll coming into play here, now?
And uh, where did it go????
Tumblr media
I don’t see it anywhere! Is it...still in the same hand Himiko was holding it with?
Tumblr media
Is THAT why we’re zooming in here on the final panel?
“Why does it matter?” you may ask. “Isn’t it just a symbol of the connection between these two girls once Himiko found where Ochako was hiding it and teased her about it? Isn’t this perhaps just Himiko’s way of comforting Ochako?”
“Hm, yes, interesting,” I would reply. “But DON’T YOU WHO THE FUCK I AM?”
Tumblr media
This is the second time All Might merchandise is appearing in a supposed death scene! Is it mere coincidence? I THINK NOT.
I mean, we haven’t had a SINGLE update on Katsuki for a year now. (UNLESS WE JUST GOT ONE?) Could it be Horikoshi was holding off on any Katsuki updates to avoid spoiling something else that needed to happen first? Specifically Ochako vs Toga?
Because if there’s ANYTHING fishy going on with that card and that doll (and boy do I smell fish), Katsuki’s storyline would not be able to progress until AFTER the doll also came into play. AND NOW IT HAS.
2. Of course my first thought was Katsuki Bakugou, don’t tell me you’re actually surprised...
There are a LOT of weird parallels between Ochako and Himiko’s fight and...whatever the hell is going on with Izuku and Katsuki just in general. But I mean, just look at Katsuki. Compare that wound to Ochako’s. Compare Ochako’s imminent death to Katsuki.
And...compare Himiko Toga to Katsuki Bakugou however many ways you like.
But most importantly...compare Himiko Toga to Izuku Midoriya.
Because Ochako was on the verge of death, and Himiko Toga sacrifices herself to save Ochako. Yeah, you can compare that to Katsuki in chapter 362. But like, Katsuki is the one on the verge of death now, right? That would make him parallel to Ochako (especially since they’re the ones with the All Might merch). That would mean Izuku could do something similar to save Katsuki.
And please, please note how Himiko performed this rescue. She became Ochako. She became compatible with Ochako, started pumping Ochako’s same blood through her own veins, hooked them up so not only was Himiko supporting Ochako’s life, THEY WERE CONNECTED AS ONE PERSON.
Are YOU getting Heroes Rising vibes? Because I’m definitely getting Heroes Rising vibes.
3. Remember, Horikoshi said this ending would be better than Heroes Rising.
Izuku and Katsuki shared OFA in the ending of Heroes Rising.
Let us not forget the ever-present nomenclature of One For All and All For One.
What could be better than a team-up of two people?
Maybe...a merging of everyone?
4. Everyone is down
Himiko and Ochako and Katsuki aren’t the only ones down. Basically EVERYONE is.
Shouto, Endeavor, Touya, Hawks, Tokoyami, Spinner, most everyone at the UA battlefield, most everyone at the Gunga battlefield, basically most everyone who isn’t AFO, All Might, Izuku, and Tomura (and maybe a few UA kids).
Actually, speaking of UA kids, why haven’t we seen Aoyama and Sero and the others yet? Could it be that Horikoshi just wanted to showcase the most important part of their fights, aka the ending?
The ending where they all fall over and pass out or die too?
Why is everyone fucking dead?
Because something big is going to happen to them all after they pass out???
I mean, maybe???
Tumblr media
Even if that’s the case, I have no idea how many people will actually be part of this union or revival or whatever the fuck happens. I just...I do notice that heroes and villains both are dropping like flies.
WHAT IS THIS LEADING TO?
5. The story of how we all became the greatest heroes
So once upon a time I wrote a tiny meta about the infamous line from the first chapter, “This is the story of how I became the greatest hero.”
Basically, it occurred to me that it’s very strange for the narrator to “spoil the ending” of the story in the first chapter. Where’s the dramatic tension? Why even do that?
Well, the obvious answer is: it wasn’t a spoiler. Perhaps it meant something else than what it seemed at first glance.
I realized “hero” in Japanese could be both singular and plural. Thus, I conceived that the true message was: “This is the story of how I became ONE OF the greatest heroes.“
Chapter 324 basically confirmed that theory.
But...what if it’s still wrong?
What if there’s ANOTHER hidden message in the line?
What if it’s something like: “This is the story of how I became a part of the greatest hero.” Singular. Purposefully.
What if EVERYONE becomes the greatest HERO literally. What if...everyone merges to create...All Might?
And then I saw all the vestiges rebelling inside AFO and thought:
Oh god this actually seems plausible now.
So here’s the good news for Himiko...
Tumblr media
There was, in fact, a chapter titled “The Story of How We All Became Heroes, Part Minus 1.”
Maybe everyone becomes heroes together. Maybe they all literally become one hero together. Either way, Himiko was highlighted in a chapter with a title that specifically implied she would be part of whatever the fuck happens.
Sure, this chapter COULD BE Himiko’s heroic moment. But...I don’t know man. We got SO MANY CHAPTERS with this title. It’s SCREAMING some sort of plot twist is on the way...!
6. Ochako is ALSO supposed to be part of this “greatest hero” business too!
Finally, can we just...remember how Ochako was inspired to save people? She held Sir Nighteye in her arms as he died, and that’s when she knew she wanted to save people.
Himiko dying here on Ochako’s watch...idk mannnnn, has Ochako really proven that she’s achieved her goal yet? Can she really be part of the greatest heroes like this?

Don't mind me, I'm just imagining a scenario where Loid does something amazing for Yor's birthday, and when she asks him when his birthday is he says it was a couple months ago or something. Think of it as a twist on the classic scenario where the man forgets, or doesn't know about, a date that is important to his partner, and they get mad at him about it.

Every description about Nico (especially the canon ones) describing him as “cold” can personally fight me. Nico is jaded, yes, and often closed-off and sometimes stand-offish and defensive but he is not "cold”. He cares SO SO SO MUCH about EVERYONE. He loves and cares with his entire heart constantly and that is a core part of his character. He doesn’t often make public shows of his affection but he takes care to be kind when it matters and doesn’t hide that he does care (usually, the only exception really being him being in the closet, but even then he only hid his crush specifically and not the fact that Percy is important to him). He fine with hugging his friends in front of a crowd and will sit with strangers at a campfire just so they’re not alone. I mean, heck, he’s an extrovert! We know this! He actively seeks out people and gets lonely very quickly and easily! If he can’t talk to living people he will chat with the dead! That’s how much he thrives on being social!
The only time Nico has ever been actively “cold” was the couple of months between TTC and BoTL when he was actively mourning Bianca. Nico is not “cold.” He loves so much and he does show it, just in his own way.
#pjo#riordanverse#nico di angelo#analysis#brought to you by: I saw a blurb for TSATS that said something like ''Will melted through Nico's icy heart/cold exterior''#and it made me want to tear something apart with my teeth because of how Blatantly Incorrect that is#like that is a disservice to both their characters.#a.) Will did not ''fix'' Nico or ''change'' him or anything. He is just a source of joy in Nico's life#TOA even explicitly acknowledges that them dating did not ''fix'' Nico and that Nico is actively getting outside help for his trauma/etc#and b.) Nico is not cold!!! He has never been a cold person!!! there's a reason ''emo'' is short for ''emotional!''#Nico's character is ENTIRELY DRIVEN BY LOVE AND CARE FOR OTHER PEOPLE#yes he's jaded but he's only jaded in a way of being afraid of letting people into his life because he's afraid to lose them#not that it stops him because it sure does keep happening anyways because SURPRISE. HE LOVES TOO MUCH.#HE LITERALLY CANNOT HELP HIMSELF HE LOVES PEOPLE SO STRONGLY AND SO DEEPLY HE CANNOT STAY JADED ABOUT IT#he just keeps going ''Okay *THIS* time I won't let this person into my life to risk heartbreak- AW FUCK I'VE DONE IT AGAIN''#SO MUCH of his character is entirely driven by ''I care about people. I dont want them to suffer what i have suffered or suffer at all''#like really the only times we ever see Nico being actively angry/snappy at people#is like a.) He is either actively being majorly hurt or has just recently been majorly hurt (Bianca's death. Being outed. etc)#b.) Someone is hurting others is going to bring harm to others (Calling out his dad in TLO. Killing Bryce)#or c.) Someone is doubting or calling into question his lived experiences (Basically any scene where people say he's pushing people away)#other than that Nico actually tends to give people way more lenience than necessary. he will put up with a LOT#and he won't even call people out on it or hold a grudge about it (i see you alleged Nico's fatal flaw. you're wrong)#unless it's like. something A Lot Of People Do Often (ex: push him away/exclude him/etc)#at which point he might be like. mildly upset about it but not much more then that. which is just a normal measured response.#anyways Nico's not cold he's just autistic

Spoiler-free review of Ghostbusters: Back in Town issue #2
Tumblr media
I'll admit, I have less to say on this one since it feels like more setup of things that will come into play for the next issue. I can't talk about a lot without giving too much away. I will say though:
More interesting ghostly creature designs, and they all appear to be connected somehow to the new main villain of this mini series.
Mentions of Ghostbusters 2, for any fans of that particular film. I won't get anyone's hopes up if they're expecting Vigo though, he's only mentioned.
Some more character exploration and development for Phoebe that leads up to Frozen Empire. We see more of what school is like for her and how she has a hard time dealing with other students. That lack of connection is going to cause problems for her, although this is only the beginning.
More Ray! I don't think that's a spoiler since we did see him at the end of issue #1. He's his usual entertaining self with plenty of lore to share. There's a bit more Podcast too although he's only heard and not seen.
More Callie and Gary and some funny moments with the two of them.
Slight hints and acknowledgment of a certain pairing I used to ship really hard back in the day, but have neutral feelings on now? I'm not sure how to feel about it, but I'll reserve judgement until the comics have completed the story. In any case it's nice to see the dynamic shown a bit more. (If you know, you know!)
Overall, not bad! Enough funny & exciting moments to keep me engaged, more hints at what's to come, and more character exploration.

My cat just ran outside while I was taking my dog out to the bathroom, refuses to come back while calling her and shaking food at her. Actively runs in the opposite direction. And ofc someone broke the laser pointer I keep on my keys so I can't trick her back into the apartment. I'm so pissed that shit broke off, all my other crappy keychains are still attached. The laser was how I got her back last time she escaped but she'd only taken a few steps out and I was able to snatch her.
And I'm not supposed to have her so I can't even notify the apartment complex a cat is missing 😐 guess she's an outdoor cat now :/

I'm just gonna say this right now....
No one was saying they were ignoring the possibility of Alastor being aro/ace except annoying straight Chalastor shippers who wanted the second coming of Starco, but even then ....
This is still probably a "Marco Diaz is a Trans Girl" situation, a "Dumbledore is Gay" situation....
So until this actually ends up being something that's actually confirmed within the narrative itself as an actual thing that impacts Al's story line (and no, again, whorephobia towards Angel doesn't count) I would advise everyone who's been a little bit too overprotective of a canonically sexually harassing, cannibalistic serial killers ~"virtue"~ to kindly not continue harassing shippers and being an obnoxious scold over a word of God situation that's like a 50/50 toss up at the moment of being explained/explored within the canon of the actual show.
Especially if you project your vitriol about sex and love onto Angel Dust and people shipping their OC's with Alastor...
And just remember... If there is no God in Hazbin ... There's no reason to explicitly follow Word of God TM in it's fandom ether.
I know this will be a hard pill for some of you to take but it's the truth.

So can I ask do you think they are a couple or not ? Your own opinion?
Because I saw you mentioning whatever it is many times lol usually Jikookers here does that when they feel they were/are not a couple.
Hey, Anon.
For one thing, it is none of my business. They are the ones who have the right to say anything about something that personal.
I only say things from what I observe. I'm not in their bedroom.
But I will say this much: over the years I have seen Jimin and Jungkook's behavior toward each other occasionally step over the line of "bro culture" skinship and more into a grey area of "what was that? that was not heterosexual behavior" I don't care how much you buy into skinship, some of their behavior is not that either. There are moments of tender touches that are somewhat ever so slightly too tender for it to be in the friend zone when Jungkook massages Jimin's neck... or lips touching necks (after hours, not in front of a camera) and we find out about it later? lips on ears? If you think that is something your (hypothetically) straight brother and his straight friends would do, you will probably come to a certain conclusion that straight guys do that. If your straight brother and his straight friends would NEVER do such a thing... that's different conclusion. Am I right?
We all bring our own life's experience into this thought process so I encourage everyone to watch original content and draw your own conclusions without listening to people pushing a narrative.
I also think if Jimin and Jungkook did not want us to think certain things about them, they would cease behaving certain ways. So my thoughts there are that they are secure in whatever their relationship actually is so they don't care what we think. But it is still their choice whether to publicly state whether they are or aren't.
For myself, I am not going to declare something like that to the world about them when its not my place to do so.
I am curious as to why my opinion about it is important? Who cares what I think? You gonna write me off because I've not declared which side I'm on?

y'all saw the pics of massa chilling with freaking briatore? it's getting clearer and clearer his motives behind that so called crusade. trying to put all the guilt and blame on lewis, harassing him with constant nasty PR, contributing to the plans of those working overtime to invalidate all of his achievements, wanting HIM to validate your own lowlife non struggles. the absolute jealous, vile attention seeking shenanigans. and tbh i don't really give a single fuck which dick he rides and why but he's definitely going to lose whatever dignity that's left to his name. just the way he lost that title. he'd be deserving of it and i will drink to that. absolutely pitiful scum of the earth

honestly what's disappointing to me about cy2 is simply the fact that it's another new book that i know won't immediately hook me or keep me excited for every new update like psi or hell or high water did when they came out, especially because it's been this way for several updates now. like there was a time where we could always count on new books being interesting and exciting but now it's just like oh... another one...
