I can't believe people keep trying to pass Endeavor as a good teacher when his definition of teaching Shoto was suckerpunching him until he did whatever endeavor wanted him to do.

Mh. Have you ever heard of the writing technique "show, don't tell?" basically it boils down to avoiding the overuse of explanations and emotion-words ("he was angry" "she said, upset") as shortcuts to tell the reader what the character is feeling and thinking, by the practice of showing those same feelings and thoughts through a character's actions, dialogue and body language.

The problem with Enji's framing is that the writing that surrounds his "change" is all tell and no show. Countless of characters (Burning, Kido, Shouto, Hawks, Deku, etc) tell us that Enji is a good hero, but Enji's actions don't quite line up with this.

During the first internship arc, Shouto tells us Enji is a good hero because he has a control over his fire that Shouto can only dream of emulating. This is, however, false. Enji is good at building up the heat, but not nearly as good at directing it and controlling it. He routinely torches everything around him whenever he launches one of his big moves, and in fact he lures Hood in the sky to have free room to torch him without razing down the city as collateral. That's not control and technique, that's just brute force. Ironically, Dabi, who often gets addressed as the type to cremate anything without much thought, has far more techniques and control than Enji, what with his fire being much harder to tame

During the second internship arc, the trio tells us that Enji is a good hero because he's quick to think and to act, and he doesn't slow down to baby them. This, too, is false. Enji is only quick to brawl when he can solve things with punches. He's not quick on his feet at all when it comes to anything else. When Natsuo was taken hostage by Ending, Enji froze and remained frozen until the end of the fight. When Touya plummeted down from Machia to attack them, Enji froze again, and Shouto was the one quick on his feet, yelling orders and trying to get his father to move even as Shouto himself was hella distressed.

So.

I think Endvr is actually a very mediocre hero. He reached the top because he's good at doing what the Commission values, which is punching anyone threatening the status quo with a flashy offensive quirk. In fact, it was even stated that he has the highest capture rate of the country. So Enji is only a good hero if you value those kind of statistics, but quite horrible at any of the actual hero-ing. He sees acting reassuring with the public as "crowd-pleasing" (his words), his approval ratings are abysmal, we have literally never seen him rescue anyone who wasn't a hero, and he mostly just captures criminals.

Conclusion: Enji is a good cop. He's not a good hero. But the writing needed him to look good at something to counter the bad of his private life, so he's often bunched with the "good heroes" despite being the antithesis of what Deku conceptualizes a hero as

there's a word used for one of the main characters in one of the best disney films, and used in the villain song from that movie, that is a slur that you should not use.

there's a word used for a common form of physical affection that many people do all the time that is a slur that you should not use.

there's a word that is used in a very popular Rick & Morty meme that people use when talking about this specific topic that is a slur that you should not use.

like. listen, folks. I get it. Hellfire is a fantastic villain song. Nuzzling noses is cute. Rick & Morty does occasionally have interesting things to say.

but like. don't use slurs ok?

Big fan of fluffybird. However NOT a big fan of how Red and Duck treat Yellow when they're paired together.

#i love when they fight it gives them all depth but. i hate when they gang up on yellow for nothing #sending eachother e-mails but not yellow. calling him slurs. blah blah blah #and then just kind of ignoring YELLOWS perspective and going 'oooh how romantic' #it's just kinda :( to me #and if they ARE parental figures to Yellow i must say they're awfully shite at that point i'm Team Roy #dhmis #this is just a personal giope and i'm seeking people who might agree #i DO like fluffybird but it's two thirds of a whole to me personally #note i said PERSONALLY. please don't pick a fight with me for it because it won't change my mind.

just a heads up, if you get a dm from nobugdev, this person is trying to scam you and will tell you to kys r slur (then deleted the specific kys message before I could screenshot it lol) when you tell him you don't want to be paid under federal minimum wage :)

this is just a small sample of the lovely conversation I had with this guy. it didn't last long because I didn't actually plan on taking the commission, and wanted to give this guy a wake up call as to how shitty it is to expect a grown ass adult to work for a wage that can barely buy a single candy bar in our current economic climate.

I've had an influx of scam artists and underhanded clients like this in the past 2 years, partially which I blame on AI art making ppl undervalue every creative profession out there. I'm fucking exhausted from having hours long conversations with someone only for them to tip toe around the fact they think my art isn't even worth a single grocery trip. not to mention people think artwork can be mass produced by a human like a machine now- it is not possible to do 10 cleanly lined images in "an hour or two".

even when I was working as a caricature artist, I was paid a base hourly rate on top of tips and was given much more time to work on black and white illustrations than what this guy was offering me. I usually block immediately and move on, but I'm tired of putting up with this type of shit on a daily basis.

tl;dr: know your worth artists, don't let these scumbags try to force you to do what is essentially sweatshop labor!

do NOT take this weirdo's commissions, even if the diary of a wimpy kid art style is simple you shouldn't be charged under federal fucking minimum wage for that type of illustration!

queerness in The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher

book description

when you’re an old woman armed with nothing but gumption and knitting needles, stopping a sorcerer from wiping out an entire dragon-fighting organization is a tall order. no one understands why 83-year-old Edna Fisher is the Chosen One, destined to save the Knights from a dragon-riding sorcerer bent on their destruction. after all, Edna has never handled a magical weapon, faced down a dragon, or cast a spell. and everyone knows the Council of Wizards always chooses a teenager—like the vengeful girl ready to snatch Edna’s destiny from under her nose.

still, Edna leaps at the chance to leave the nursing home. with a son long dead in the Knights’ service, she’s determined to save dragon-fighters like him & ensure other mothers don’t suffer the same loss she did. but as Edna learns about the abuse in the ranks & the sorcerer’s history, she questions if it’s really the sorcerer that needs stopping—or the Knights she’s trying to save.

find it here

okay let's talk about queerness in this book

did a thread on twitter in which I said "cishet" five hundred thousand times so will probably get banned lmao but anyway I wanted to share it here too

especially since it's late in Pride Month and I have yet to post anything anywhere about it BEING Pride Month and me being queer and my books being queer, bc I've been burnt out af. so what energy I've had has gone toward planning and writing

anyway

I say "queerness in" rather than "queer characters in" because I want to talk about queerness in the book more broadly, not least bc I'm a queer creator & this is a queer book, but I've had a lot of impostor syndrome about both those things.

I figured out I was queer later in life & am a woman-presenting person w/a male-presenting partner. I've questioned my gender & sexuality repeatedly & ID'd differently over time, which is why I like "queer." I don't have to re-explain myself a dozen times. I'm queer. that's that.

but having figured out my queerness later, and having a relationship that presents as cishet, it took a long time for me to overcome feelings of ~not being queer enough~ (and sometimes I still struggle with them).

similarly, my MC is an apparently* cishet woman, unlike the MCs of many books that appear on queer book lists at this time of year. just like I took a long time to start really engaging with my community bc I worried I wasn't ~queer enough,~ for a long time, I didn't call this a queer book bc I worried it wasn't ~queer enough~. if people asked if the book was queer, I'd reply with a laundry list of explicitly queer characters rather than saying yes

fuck that though lmao. this is a queer book. let me count the ways

1. found family

as found family is so important to many queer people - by connecting us to our community, by welcoming us when bio family casts us off - found family is central to REMARKABLE RETIREMENT. while there are queer romantic arcs, the found family is the most important relationship in the book.

2. queer labels

some characters get explicit labels. Benjamin is gay. Clem is ace. queer labels are important bc they give us the ability to describe our identities and experiences! however...

3. undefined queerness

while labels are important, queerness isn't about fitting into new boxes. it's about smashing the boxes apart.

even if characters don't have specific labels applied on-page, they're queer. they don't need to claim a specific label for that to be true.*

*caveat that some media avoids using labels to pander to queer audiences w/implied queerness without ~alienating~ cishets by stating "this character is Not Cishet"**

that's not what I mean

I mean e.g. in OFMD queerness is inherent even if WORDS like queer/ace/etc aren't used. OMitB is another example (specifically Mabel) and Good Omens is yet another.

**caveat to my caveat that some media is queer-coded & avoids queer labels rather than being explicitly queer because network execs or whoever won't allow explicit queerness.

this is not the fault of the creators. sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference.

but anyway.

in REMARKABLE RETIREMENT, several queer characters are queer without using specific labels.

in some cases this is bc it doesn't come up or isn't important to them to express in the moment. like Clem is bi, but she's not worried about being bi. she's worried about being ace, because she's still kind of questioning that about herself, and she's worried it might cause problems down the road if her crush is >:[ about her not wanting to have sex. so she uses the word "ace" to describe herself in this scene but not "bi," even though she's both.

in other cases it's bc they don't have the language. Kiernan's sense of attraction and desire is described in a way that seems graysexual or demisexual (or both), and Red's sense of desire is described in a way that seems ace-spec, but neither of them use those terms, because neither of them know those terms. despite the lack of terminology, many ace readers have identified multiple ace characters based on description or experience. the lack of a specific label doesn't make those characters less queer.

similarly, some characters have not yet had this realization about themselves. which leads us to...

4. questioning

okay, back to my first asterisk of the post.

Edna is by all appearances an old cishet woman.

for most of the story, that's how she seems. that's what SHE thinks, even. she's a cishet old grandma adopting every queer young person she can find.

BUT THEN

Clem explains aceness to her

and Edna has a brief crisis bc wait a minute this sounds like her??

ultimately, Edna has too much to worry about right now to spend time questioning whether, at the age of 83, she might be somewhere on the ace spectrum

so it doesn't come up again

but that moment of crisis is THERE, & that too is queer

5. queernormativity*

I write queernorm worlds, largely bc I viscerally hate coming out lmao

it doesn't mean everyone's a queer scholar

like Clem has to explain "ace" to Edna, bc Edna thinks blankly of a deck of cards & doesn't understand what that has to do with sex

but it DOES mean queer folks get to just be and do

*caveat that this is not remotely to imply that a story is less queer if its world ISN'T queernorm

it's just a way in which MY story is queer

6. all the queer characters

not gonna do a list (even though my original idea for Pride Month when I was young and optimistic and thought I'd have energy to do it way back when was a list of queer characters), but virtually every character in this book is queer in one way or another

on twitter this is where I ended because 6 seemed like a good number for Pride since June is the sixth month, but tumblr gets a bonus

7. the author is queer

happy pride, buy my queer book

A couple years ago I made a tweet about how Samus was transgender and it blew up for some fucking reason. Anyway, as with all big tweets involving trans people, a bunch of people came in with reasons why Samus couldn’t possibly be transgender, none of them really made sense, but the only one I couldn’t outright refute was that we see her as a young girl in the manga apparently.

Anyway, so I’m playing through Metroid Zero Mission and I just finished the zero suit Samus section, which ends with a flashback to when child Samus lives with the Chozo. Right there in the official game I was being shown what young Samus looked like. Do you want to see the “Samus as a young girl that is irrefutable proof she cannot possibly be transgender”?

#I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves lol #Samus aran #Samus is so fucking transgender. I love her so much #and even if there was young girl Samus in the manga it wouldn’t mean she can’t be transgender #Samus Aran may have accidentally been trans coded which was further cemented by a dev calling her a transphobic slur #but she’s ours now and they can’t take her away #also she literally collects giant tanks with the letter E on them lmao #also also her dna has been spliced with 2 different alien dnas. that’s not inherently trans but I feel it’s worth mentioning

Do you think Endeavor ever showed any love to Touya (or any of his kids) outside of training? Because I Headcanon that the only reason Touya was so desperate to train was because that was the one time he was ever shown love

mmh this is more headcanon territory then meta so take it with a grain of salt. But building off canon, my personal answer would be no. I think that if Touya was ever shown love in any other context, he wouldn't have clung to the training with quite the same singleminded compulsion. While I do think that Enji felt some fondness for Touya, I wouldn't exactly call it love. I tend to read it more as the... predilection you have towards a favourite tool, the appreciation you hold for an object you bought on a whim without thinking much of it, but which unexpectedly turned out to fit your exact needs at the time.

With this I'm not trying to say Enji was a callous, heartless monster. He cared about Touya to an extent. He wasn't indifferent to Touya's burns, and he wasn't indifferent to his death. But I think he cared more about the idea of Touya more than about his son per se. He loved what Touya represented, what Touya could've accomplished. But his affections were subordinated to that idealization of his son as the receptacle of all those ambitions. And when that idealization faded, so did the warmth and affection itself.

It seems rather cold to put it like that, but children don't suddenly start thinking of themselves as "creations" that their maker "needs" unless... their so-called creator treats them as such. Children emulate the behaviour and the language they see around them, and Touya repeatedly calls himself a "failed creation". That has to come from somewhere. It's not natural for Touya to have come up with it on his own, because Dabi's entire persona was born from the rejection of this label, from the desperate urge to prove it wrong and misassigned.

I think Touya's world was crushed by his replacements exactly because all of Enji's "love" was conditional, contingent on Touya's ability to fulfill his "purpose". When Enji turned his back on training him, Touya lost the only surrogate form of "affection" that Enji ever offered him. Even if it was just pride for what Touya could potentially accomplish in the future, it was the only love Touya ever knew from his dad.

As for the other children, it's canon that he ignored them as if they didn't even exist. Natsuo tells us that he was never even remotely in his father's line of sight, enough so that when Enji asks him for his input, Natsuo blows up and yells at him that it's the first time Enji's giving him the time of day.

As for Shouto... well. It's like Touya's situation but worse. Enji doesn't love Shouto for Shouto. He loves the idea of a perfect masterpiece, a little Enji 2.0 that he cultivated for years and that now needs to perform well. But the way he raised him never shows any fatherly love. He actively isolated him from his family, stunted his growth, trained him much harsher than he needed to, and even now that he's "changed" he keeps crossing all of Shouto's boundaries and pushing all of his buttons. It's pretty clear he doesn't respect Shouto's individuality, and only sees him as an extention of himself that he created for a specific purpose. During the sport festival arc he even referred to Shouto with a classifier that is used for livestock, hinting that he "bred" him like cattle, and imho that sheds a lot of light to how Enji conceptualizes his children
