I hate how MHA (and the fandom) tries to shift some of the blame from Enji onto Touya for the mistreatment he received by saying Enji stopped training him as a means of protecting him from his volatile quirk. Like, your son is questioning the purpose of his existence by age 13 because he recognizes that he was only born to be the future number one hero and was tossed aside as soon as he couldn't match the expectations set for him, which is already horrible in itself, but you, Enji, as as a parent to a child with a volatile quirk, have an obligation to teach your son how to manage said quirk in the event he does use it (accidentally or otherwise), and you, Enji, as the number two pro hero in the country, have the resources and funds to look into support items to ensure your son's quirk doesn't burn him alive.

"Enji was trying to protect Touya" no he fucking wasn't. If Enji wanted to protect Touya from his quirk, he would have been proactive about it instead of dismissing his son entirely.

#also the way Dabi's scars perfectly match up with the fire from Endeavor's costume just makes me think #Enji didn't even bother trying to tailor Touya's training to TOUYA himself #*chews on the drywall* #fandom.bnha

shitty au idea #1

up and coming pro hero Shouto ends up as a surprise celebrity contestant on a dating show because his PR team thinks it will be good for his ratings because despite being hot he's terrible with the press. this immediately backfires on his PR team when Shouto becomes far more interested in you, a member of the production team, than he is in any of the other contestants.

#you're just trying to do your damn job working on this frankly awful dating show with a bunch of insane contestants #and suddenly there's a stupid hot pro hero that's asking you questions about your work and following you around like a puppy #also something something almost getting caught fucking while the cameras are rolling #shouto x reader #shouto todoroki x reader #fandom.bnha

I've been seeing the "endeavor is the best written character in BNHA" take for a while and regardless of if that's true or not (because that's an opinion, not a fact) do the people saying this not think it's questionable or off-putting that the "best" written character is a middle aged man discovering after over two decades that neglecting, abusing, and overall traumatizing his wife and children is BAD and he wants to be a better person now???

#i know i have mutuals that like endeavor. or at least want to fuck him. but come on guys pick a better dilf. have better taste #for the record I don't have an issue with the narrative putting a focus on endeavor #i just think the framing of that focus was garbage #using him as a narrative point to critique hero society and the HPSC was RIGHT THERE. IT WAS RIGHT THERE #ALSO. A L SO. i'm so tired of people being like 'hey this man makes me uncomfortable and I don't like him in the story' #and absolute clowns responding that ' yeah. but he's the best written character in the series!!!' #once again WHY has the abusive father been given the best writing in the series as opposed to literally any of the main characters? #horikoshi chose to minimize the ripple effect endeavor's behavior should have had on society in BNHA and shockingly that's not good writin #also because i know people like to whine about 'p u r i t a n i c a l' views. that is literally not the problem here #i'm not mad that endeavor exists as a character. I like the wrench he throws into the idealistic version of heroism presented early on #i'm mad that the societal issue of men using their wealth fame and power to abuse others is glossed over #in favor of a narrative arc about this dickhead feeling bad and wanting to do better #anti bnha #sort of #anti endeavor #absolutely #fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

on one hand I think that Touya/Dabi, Shouto, and Endeavor aren't involved in the Overhaul arc because then the narration would have to confront the uncomfortable parallels between Endeavor and Overhaul, and Touya/Shouto and Eri BUT I'm also cracking up thinking about how ridiculous it would be if Dabi was there and Overhaul took one look at him and was like "absolutely not, I need to fix this", and then proceeded to completely blow Touya's cover by overhauling him

#dabi gets overhauled and suddenly he has white hair and no scars and everything gets a little more complicated #bnha #bnha au #touya todoroki #fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

thinking about how horikoshi really went the route of making endeavor redeemable while in the same breath making dabi/touya psychotic because of deep-rooted jealousy instead of having the balls to address the fact that men in positions of power are frequently able to use wealth and celebrity status to avoid facing consequences for abuse

you really mean to tell me that "enji is trying to be better and dai/touya is deeply unhinged and needs to be defeated by the collective effort of his family" is somehow narratively more interesting than "touya resorted to exposing his father's crimes and attempting to kill him after years of abuse that no one would believe actually happened because said father is a hero that has enough public influence to cover up said abuse" ???

#it's about the framing!!! #enji is portrayed as just pathetic enough for his actions to be waved off #while touya is portrayed as unhinged to distract from the fact that hero society ALLOWED for this to happen #and the 'villains' are right to criticize society #i'm just... so sick of stories trying to mend the relationship between children and their abusive fathers #sorry. i DO in fact think enji deserves to be punished for abusing and neglecting his kids #beyond just them not wanting to have much to do with him #jail for shitty dads. jail for shitty dads for 1000 years #fandom.bnha

you know what? quite literally the only reason Dabi didn't kill anyone during the summer camp arc is because of plot armor. Aizawa shouldn't have had time to move out of the way of a point blank hit like the one thrown at him. Vlad King and the students in the classroom should have received some nasty burns at best. Shoji and Midoriya were burned, but probably not as badly as they should have been from that amount of heat. Hawks should have lost his wings entirely and honestly probably should have died considering that it was a point blank attack like with Aizawa.

#dabi really should be more of a heavy hitter than he's shown to be #i think the aizawa and hawks ones piss me off the most #with the kids they at least had enough time and distance to feasibly get out of the way #but aizawa and hawks both should have died #we've seen how quickly dabi's fire can incapacitate people #bnha critical #fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

I'm drafting a Shinsou x reader fic that I'm hoping to post this month and I need opinions on if it should be:

Premise: You agree to watch Eri for your uncle Aizawa and he forgets to tell you about the hot young man currently living in his basement.

can't wait for bnha to go the route of naruto where the narrative repeatedly beats people over the head with the fact that the government is extremely corrupt and overall fucked up and hey actually the antagonists have a point, but then the series ends with the main character who was initially presented as an underdog but is actually the most super special because reasons becoming number one and absolutely nothing changes in the society that we were told was bad

#midoriya unlocking past users quirks is to naruto being an 'underdog' while coming from two separate and powerful family lineages #sorry but the bnha villains are right that society is messed up #quirk discrimination. prejudice against 'mutant' and 'villainous' quirks. celebrating primarily combat heroes who fight bad guys #the society in bnha sustains itself on villains doing crime #and to do that it requires actively pushing people towards criminal activity #either via discriminating against certain people to the point where they reject society and embrace their 'villain' quirks #or abandoning children and allowing people to fall through the cracks of society #bnha #my hero academia #fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

did... did the anime fuck up the Twice + Dabi v Hawks fight or something? because I'm seeing people say Hawks killed Twice in self-defense when I'm like 99.99% sure that in the manga Twice was running away from the fight

#fandom.bnha #granted 90% of the bnha fans are fucking idiots BUT STILL

"[the media] is trying to make UA look bad"

lmao UA makes themselves look bad by being one of the most prestigious hero schools in the country while having garbage security and doing fuck all research and/or background checks when it comes to their students.

Not having dorms put in place from the very beginning despite having a highly publicized sports festival that could put targets on the students' backs. Allowing in a student with a long history of bullying. Allowing in a student that was later revealed to be a traitor working with the villains to feed them information. Iida requested to intern in the location where Stain attacked and nearly killed his brother and neither Aizawa or Nezu said "absolutely not". Endeavor basically outright told All Might that the only reason he created Shouto was for the potential of a powerful quirk and All Might didn't think that was concerning at all. Bakugou repeatedly tried to attack one of his classmates and nothing was done about it. Teachers and pro heroes allowed first year students with less than ~7 months of training to be part of the Shie Hassaikai raid.

The LOV and media barely have to do anything to make UA and hero society look bad, they manage that all of their own.

#fandom.bnha #maybe if you were a competent school you wouldn't be having these issues

[kurokoros]

I think what's so frustrating about the Todoroki plotline for me is that Horikoshi clearly took a lot of inspiration from ATLA and the relationship between Zuko, Azula, Ozai, and Ursa, but he completely failed to understand why the specific dynamics and characterizations work.

#fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

Not Endeavor asking why he has to help save a kidnapped child as if that’s not literally part of his fucking job description 🙃🙃🙃

#this man makes me want to commit heinous crimes #fandom.bnha #alisha rewatches bnha

[kurokoros]

I kind of dislike how Midoriya's plot during the summer camp arc is him... wanting to change Kota's mind because he dislikes quirks and hero society after his hero parents died. idk I feel like a better plotline would have been Midoriya questioning the concept of self-sacrifice and how hero society always calls it "noble." Because while you could say the Water Hose due dying to protect civilians is noble, it was also pretty selfish of them to continue working in a dangerous line of work knowing that if anything happened to them they'd be leaving a toddler behind to suffer through the fallout.

Midoriya is an incredibly kind character, but in his idolization for heroes and hero society as a whole he has a tendency to be somewhat tone-deaf when it comes to other people's issues with hero culture.

#maybe this changes in the back half of the series #i don't know #i only continued to tune into the third act when it was Touya or Shouto related content lmao #fandom.bnha

[kurokoros]

each time I've rewatched MHA over the years I find a new character I really really like, but in turn I also start to dislike Bakugou more lmao

#I'm just... not very tolerant of him at 26. especially compared to when I first watched mha back when I was like 19-20 #I definitely like him more in fanon than canon #like. i would not be able to stand him in person. i get emotional easily and hate when people raise their voice at me #plus he's just mean in a way I don't find entertaining or interesting #my hot take is that bakugou would be more interesting as a character if he actually lost early on in the sports festival arc #and was forced to realize that 1) he was a big fish in a little pond and not as overwhelmingly powerful as he was lead to believe #and 2) his behavior actually has consequences. especially in a job field where your public perception matters #anyway this isn't any kind of critique aimed at my bnha moots lmao #i've just been noticing on this watch that i'm not liking the angry shouty boy at all #fandom.bnha
