I Have to Be a Great Villain - Masterpost
The daily trials of a slime's one-sided crush.
Daily Missions for He Came from Horizon's Edge
[1. Go crazy at the male lead.]
WY: Aha~ Beautiful!**this part originally written in English
WY: Scrape off all the scales, turn the eyeballs into specimens, and the bones and organs too—
[2. Go crazy at the female lead.]
WY: SO WHERE'S MY MERMAID FLESH?
Xiao Yu: I, I'm doing my best.
[3. Go crazy at everyone else.]
WY: THERE'S NO POINT TO CONSERVATIVE RESEARCH! SCIENCE NEEDS TO ADVANCE! THE WORLD NEEDS TO ADVANCE!
WY: I WANT THAT MERMAID!
[Along with #4—]
*All-Protective Suit*
Researching experimental subjects
WY: Heheh~ I'd like to see you try anything now.
As for X…
X: Like. I like my human.
X: Even though—he wants to cut apart this body.. …
X: I still like him.
WY: (I wonder if it'll eat the scalpel.)
X: As long as it makes him happy.
X: !?
X: It hurts.
X—a nickname for the humans for this organism that can heal endlessly.
X: It hurts so much…
But actually, I don't have a name at all.
I was only a particle floating in endless darkness.
When did I become sentient?
As if I was impelled by something…
I knew the first second after opening my eyes—
I wanted, to get close to a certain human.
But humans all look the same on the outside, and I still couldn't find them by the time I was captured here.
X: This transparent wall is too big for me to consume…..I can't get out.
Luckily, it was you who took me away in the end.
Luckily, you were the person I was looking for.
[Note: In X's eyes, humans all look similar; it needs to verify identity through the soul.]
X: —it's so painful!
*CUT*
X: The human is so rough.
X: … …
X: If I didn't like you, I would've eaten you last night. Not sit nicely in a box and wait to be tormented.
WY: Huh?
WY: The inside is identical to the outside.
X: But because he's my human…it's fine.
WY: There's nothing like a nucleus or core (heart) found in normal organisms.
X: That's right, X has no heart.
X: I shouldn't feel things like "affection," which is a human emotion.
X: But why am I still so…obsessed with you?
WY: Uwah—it's a little gross.
X: Hurts to death…
X: I like him so much… …can't he sense anything?
S-0: Host you seem to be…overdoing it. (It's all broken to pieces)
X: … .. … …
WY: ? It's not that excessive right?
WY: Did I complete the missions? *wipe wipe*
S-0: It's done, it's done.
S-0: Dr. Wang's reputation is almost on par with the lunatic in Kichiku Megane now* _(:3」∠*)_
*I looked up the Chinese 鬼畜眼镜 and yes they are literally referencing this yaoi visual novel. Help.
S-0: (He's pretty callous towards non-human species.)
WY: That's fine, then. I'll clean up the lab station before getting off work, you can go slack off* too, it's fine.
*The Chinese he uses for "slack off" here literally reads "touch fish" lol
S-0: Okies.
S-0: Recently I found another cute kitty, so I'll go play with them~
WY: ….
WY: (He hasn't learned his lesson yet)*
*Alternatively: he only remembers the good and none of the bad. Literally: he only remembers how to eat, not how he got beaten.
WY: Huff—forget it.
WY: Since the plot's progressing smoothly, just go with the flow.
WY: I haven't done experiments in two lifetimes, but I've finally found the feeling back, so that's worth celebrating.
WY: (Moreover this slime's suddenly grown docile for some reason.)
WY: As long as it's not doing that crappy consciousness attack, it's rather cute.
X: !
X: Cu…te? *attempting to understand*
X: … … *blush*
X: He's praising me?
[Experimental Subjects Storehouse]
Frog: *turns*
Frog: !
Slime: Gluglugluglug…~
Slime:*scurrying noises*
[Dr. Wang's Laboratory]
WY: Phew!
WY: Okay, see you again tomorrow.
WY: Hm?
WY: Wait…
WY: Did you get bigger again?
WY: What's going on…
Slime: !
Slime: Get away…
Slime: Hurry, get away—
Slime: My other body ate something bad…
*expand expand expand*
Slime: I'm gonna.. …
Slime: GONNA—

Hello! Hope you had a good day. I have a question regarding Torino, and I want to hear your thoughts about it. Why do you think Torino dismissed Toshinori's attempts to reach out to Tomura after it was revealed to him he was Shimura Tenko, Nana's grandson? I'm just curious about your thoughts about it.
This is so hard to answer. I keep drafting ‘in this essay I will’ paragraphs and then deleting them. I’m gonna bullet-point it. (There are... a lot of rhetorical questions below the read-more.)
tl;dr: Torino is taking responsibility for his mistake, because he assumes the chain of events leading to Shigaraki Tomura are connected to his and Nana’s decision to foster Kotarou.
“If you think he’s anything less than a villain, no good can come of it. No matter who his parents are, he’s still a dangerous criminal. [...] Even if you’re no longer the Symbol of Peace… All Might is still with us” (C95).
Gran Torino is old enough to have been an adult before the All Might era. He at least has a vague memory of how bad it used to be; he’s already made predictions on how worse it will get, with the League of Villains escaping (nominally) unharmed and Stain’s ideology being disseminated ALONG WITH the MLA’s.
Forgive the ringleader? Because he’s Nana’s grandson? Because of sentiment? What do you risk sacrificing, in an attempt to salvage this relationship? Do you martyr yourself, in spite of publicly surviving All for One’s parting shot?
For better or for worse, Gran Torino already has his eye on the endgame. Someone’s going to die in order to finish this AFO/OFA fight. It won’t be Toshinori. It shouldn’t be Izuku either. It’s cold-blooded, but I think Sorahiko was prepped for a killshot the instant he calculated the ramifications of letting Shigaraki go.
/everything above is what I drew from the quote; everything below is from the reading of a stan/
HE’S SO GUILTY. HE’S SO GUILTY!!!
Let me be clear: Gran Torino is a hypocrite, and he’s an old man who says he’s looking at the big picture, but is in fact tied to this story because he is irrevocably, unflinchingly attached to Shimura and her legacy.
What does it mean for Sorahiko, that he watched Nana give Kotarou away; that he witnessed this tragedy, even supported it (“The decision we made…” C281), because he knew that they weren’t enough to keep Kotarou safe?
What does it mean for Sorahiko, that he knew he wasn’t enough to keep Toshinori safe in Japan? Brutal, hellish, objectively abusive training montage aside - the fact is in the All Might: Rising OVA. He cannot finish the job, so he sends Toshinori to the States.
(Nana is a mother twice-over, for a son she gave up and a son she couldn’t claim; what does this make Sorahiko?)
When Toshinori - no longer invulnerable and guilt-ridden - begins his train of thought, “I have to find Shigaraki… I’ll find him and…”
FIND HIM AND WHAT, TORINO MUST HAVE THOUGHT FRANTICALLY. FURIOUSLY. DESPAIRINGLY.
Toshinori may have been instructed to leave Kotarou alone, but he’s not responsible for this situation. He’s not responsible for fixing it. Toshinori’s done the job for forty years, and now he has a successor of his own, one he should raise right - one who’s already proven to be quite the spiritual successor of Shimura’s, too.
Gran Torino will finish the job. He’s going to finish the job. (He is going to fail so, so bad because in the end, he was never capable of it.)
