I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!
I am not normal about any of these characters!

“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”
Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.
His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.
Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

Batman and Superman go to the abandoned building where Red Robin and Superboy are at.
goons are on the floor, either groaning and cursing from pain or completely knocked out from the impact of the hits they received. a large hole is on the floor, two men thrown on the floor below them. one of them, unconscious, is hanging by the edge of the building while Red Robin lazily holds the rope that's tied on the man's ankle.
Superman, voice calm as ever although laced with disappointment: Superboy, what did you do? We told both of you to wait for our signal.
Batman, growls: Red Robin, report!
Superboy: It was all me, Batman. Rob- Red Robin had nothing-
Red Robin, wants to honestly let go of his grip on the rope: Lay it all on me, B. It was all me.
Superman looks at Red Robin with a sad smile while Batman waits for further explanation from his son.
Superboy: No, wait, Rob-
Red Robin: They were making fun of Kon- Superboy's leather jacket. I had to do something. So, I got them to shut up.
Superman exchange glances with Superboy as Batman remains stoic.
Red Robin, shrugs and feels his hand getting tired from holding to the man: I'm sure you had moments like these, B.
Batman finally moves, pinches the bridge of his nose: We'll take it from here.
Red Robin hands the rope to Batman as Superman gently squeezes Superboy's shoulder.
without another word, Red Robin walks to Superboy and just like second nature, Superboy carries Red Robin cradle style and off they go towards the night sky.
after a few minutes of tying up the criminals, Nightwing talks through Batman and Superman's comms.
Nightwing, clear grin on his voice: So, are you both finally going to say yes to my meeting on how to handle sons when they have boyfriends? And I'm mostly talking to you, B.
Superman just chuckles while Batman says his usual, "Hn."

look, you can argue that in season 1 they both had a plan, but let's be real here—they both SUCKED. then again, at least one would have worked and it's not aziraphale's.
crowley looked at that gigantic, inevitable mess and went "no child = no apocalypse, gotta kill him unfortunately". would have worked.
meanwhile aziraphale did the equivalent of staring at a burning building and then going "let me call my boss" instead of the fucking fire brigade.
they're both so smart but trauma makes you stupid sometimes.

laszlo “it’s more accurate to call you a former soldier” cravensworth is so much more violent than nandor “baron have mercy please” the relentless.
laszlo is so much quicker to resort to violence despite being played as a man of intelligentsia. he’s the one that shoots at nandor in Pine Barrens, he’s the one who confronts Jesk with blood under his eyes and ready to behead him again, he’s the one that grabs a knife and cuts open what was presumed to be guillermo in 5x7.
nandor is notoriously more passive now. he was quick to give up when they were hunting the sire, he begged the Baron for mercy as opposed to immediately trying to physically stop him (which i 100% believe he could if he really tried), he reads so often, he goes to the gym and attempts to make friends there.
there’s something here i think.

etoiles so knight-coded honor-bound it makes me sick rotating him in my mind
talking about how he has no respect for the eye workers vs the code bc the workers ‘win once and quit’ while the code ‘loses and comes back again and again’

I’m rereading Po3 and despite its flaws I really enjoyed the introduction to the three. Jaykit isn’t mentioned to be blind in the first few chapters and instead they chose to show how much MORE capable he is compared to his littermates; until at the end of chapter 3, he brings up his blindness on his own. It makes forcing him to be a medicine cat SO much more frustrating because it really feels like they’re setting him up to be a warrior and choose his own fate (note i haven’t finished the reread this is just my first impression)
I like how you seem to take that path in BB regardless! It makes his arc so much more enjoyable
His arc in canon is super frustrating because he's such an independent character who clearly wants to make his own decisions in life, but then he just gets shoved into the medcat den. I LIKE that he ultimately goes there and that he enjoys it; but it was still really fucked up that they stripped away his autonomy in the process.
Re: they are not real, they are writing choices. Taking away the choices a disabled character can make over their own life, forcing them into a celibate nun role, and then going "awwwww dont worry see? he likes it! This was the best thing for him :)" was fucked up.
And imo it didn't have to be that way! You wouldn't have to go the FULL route I did with big changes, he could just be more involved in the descision to stop being a warrior apprentice and it would be fine. Minor change that would make a world of difference.
I do also have to interject to say though... blindness should really not be an extremely severe impairment for a ThunderClan cat.
I'm dead serious.
Whiskers are built-in sensors that tell you the exact position of everything within several inches of your head, ears swerve to pick up sound, and the jacobson's organ provides a sense of smell so keen that I have an entire Clanmew expansion draft because I needed to make WORDS describing the power of this sense that humans do not have. I cannot stress enough how delicate their other senses are, felines do not rely on their sight like primates do
ThunderClan lives in a mixed-oak woodland, where sight is already often obscured by foliage, objects are close together (for whiskers to feel), and nearly every movement makes noise against the leaf litter. RiverClan and (moor-running) WindClan cats would have a harder time with this disability than Thunder or Shadow.
Cat sight SUCKS to begin with. It sucks BADDD. They don't have color vision, they're significantly nearsighted, and they can't track up-and-down movements well. WC doesn't write realistic cats (more like small fuzzy people really) and I also work with more humanesque eyesight, but the only thing Jay should really lose is an ability to rapidly track a small animal swerving fast. Blind cats are often still excellent hunters in spite of that!
So it's an extra big waste that they railroaded him into a position he didn't choose, saying he couldn't be a warrior. This is the perfect disability to write, if you want to explore how ableism can impact the characters in this society who ARE legitimately still capable of nearly full independence, but still need to find accommodations for what they can't do.
In the same arc they're doing the dumb Cinder Reincarnation Plotline, no less!! Where SHE is also feeling like she has no choice over her "destiny," and gets a conflict over a potentially disabling injury
"Oh nooo if cinderpaw breaks her leg she wont be a warrior!"
"What the f-- Im Jaypaw and im reporting live from the scene where a Category 1 Idiot Moment is taking place. Woman breaks leg, suddenly everyone believes she is a horse, more at 11."
One of these days I should really make "herb guides" just covering how various sensory disabilities impact the lives of Clan cats and some tips for writing them as warriors, especially between Clans. Stuff you wouldn't usually consider, like how much noise deaf cats tend to make, how RiverClan would get a ton of sinus infections and lose their sense of smell, being blind in Sky vs Thunder, etc.

THIRTY ONE YEAR OLD VIRGIN RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS????? M-MERA I THINK I NUTTED JS NOW
LOL so did Riddle because he is not winning in the fight against his horny grip. <3 he has half a mind to practice safe sex even though there's the feral part of him that wants to throw logic out the window and go at it like an animal whenever you call him Dr. Rosehearts in that soft, sweet voice. It's cute that you look up to him because he's this uber-smart researcher and you automatically assume that means he knows everything. But he's so lost when it comes to sex because he looks at everything so clinically like a true scientist. T_T
Riddle: I grew out of my horny teen phase ages ago.
(Name): *exists*
Riddle: never mind.
Knowing Riddle, he probably never had much of a horny teen phase because it was always endless studying. He pushed it off and now it's caught up to him in his thirties. >:)
