Like don't be dumb, people, everyone knows that there is only ONE season of Bnha! And in that seaeon, Bakugou just HAAATES Izuku! Hates him so much he cries and becomes vulnerable in front of him....wait that doesn't sound right... and he also saves Izuku from an attack at the USJ...wait hold on...

Oh wait but Izuku! Izuku hates how Bakugou bullies him! But....wait, he expressly can't keep a secret from him...hates him so much that he...emulates him in battle at the USJ...?

Um there must be SOMETHING....

Oh! A BIG ONE:

When he was about to give up the entire idea of ever being a hero, the second he saw BAKUGOU, his bully, his estranged childhood bestie, was the one being slowly killed by a villain, he...

*checks notes*

Oh wait...

ANYWAY YEAH THEY TOTALLY HATE EACH OTHER

[clowndensation]

there’s a question to be asked i think about to what extent “getting out” can be conflated with “being saved” in this show, and what freedom actually means to any of these characters.

like you can argue that shiv saved ken by voting against him on gojo, but what if your intent behind saving someone is to inflict a worse punishment than if you’d just left them trapped? can a child weaned on poison survive on milk, or are you just sentencing them to a death by inches, starved of the only thing they know? and if you save someone specifically because you know that being saved is the worst thing that can happen to them, is that kindness or cruelty? at what point does a good thing become a malicious act?

and you can say that roman is finally free, but what exactly is he free from? the company? his father? does unlocking a cage mean saving a dog, or are you allowing him out on the street knowing there’s a kill shelter nearby? if the driving anxiety behind roman is that he’s an idiot and a failure—that he’ll never amount to anything, and trying will only lead to pain—and he’s finally cut loose once all of those anxieties have crystallized into cold hard fact in his mind, what has he actually escaped from? if the cage is in your mind, is it even possible for somebody else to unlock it?

the fundamental truth of a tragedy is that even being saved can be a death sentence, if the characters are incapable of escaping the thing doing them the most harm (themselves and their childhoods)

#'what about shiv' if i think about shiv i'm going to kill myself. she needs her own post. there's too much there to get into. #anyways seeing a tremendous amount of At Least Roman Is Free <3 tags that have me going. right. for sure. free from what? #because it's certainly not the intense amount of self disgust that has driven him in circles this entire time. #i fear he may feel the weight of alienation on his soul for the rest of his life. and he won't even try to alleviate it anymore. #and ALSO the idea that shiv went out of her way to save kendall as an act of like. altruism. like it was a sacrifice on her part #which i feel is a very toothless perspective on shiv and the psychological torment that's been weighing on her essentially since birth #like her choice in regards to gojo is one of the meatiest most harrowing bits of character work i've ever seen #and while of course there was love inside that action (because nothing these characters do is entirely divorced from love) #i don't think it was necessarily a kind or forgiving or sacrificial love #like this was an intense vitriolic snapping from a dog that has been kicked by her dad all her life. #and who absolutely refuses to accept that from her brother (because that would mean acknowledging that kendall takes the mantle of Dad- #and that she's subservient to him. which is the one thing she absolutely will never do #because it's a level of degradation that's finally a step too far) #anyways. um. insane season that i still can't look at directly or i'll perish on the spot. #succession

[markantonys]

it continues to baffle me how many readers advocate for the show entirely cutting the andoran succession arc, aka elayne's ONE big Main Character storyline that she leads herself (vs. being a sidekick in nynaeve's storylines). what would you do if i started advocating for cutting mat forming the band of the red hand? you wouldn't be so happy about that, would you? well, that's the equivalent of what you're suggesting for elayne, just gutting her entire arc and reducing her to a secondary character.

some readers really need to learn that "i don't like this storyline" doesn't automatically equal "this storyline is just unimportant filler that can and should be cut from the show" (and that "i like this storyline" doesn't automatically equal "this storyline is crucial to the series as a whole and the show will be unwatchable if it's cut")

#and somehow no one ever suggests cutting the mat/tuon circus roadtrip even tho that's what caused the entire slog slowdown #the only reason things like the succession & faile kidnapping took so long is bc rj was stalling them to let mat's storyline catch up #but according to some readers a major political throne-contest storyline that results in the largest nation in the westlands #securely joining Team Light is pointless and totally cuttable #whereas mat dicking around in a circus trying to fuck the worst person alive is absolutely integral to the series #and they also say the kidnapping storyline should be cut. okay but then tf is perrin gonna be doing for a whole season? #he already has so much less to do than all the other mains #the solution is improving his existing storyline not getting rid of it & leaving him with even less content #wot #wot book spoilers

yk. the resistance ppl have to so much as considering the idea that mike might not jump to immediately and enthusiastically engaging in obvious n indisputably gay shit with will publicly is kinda funny in a puzzling way when season three and season four, where he does exactly that the entire way through, are literally right there for us all to watch on netflix.com. like. Okay ❤️

#i get not liking angst. but it's not an insane idea. do you think it's a coincidence that mike quit touching will after season two? do you #think it was just for shits and giggles when he stopped himself from hugging will and put distance between them by ''bro''-ing #out and maintained that energy throughout the entire rest of the season until he finally got over it because he realized they were #in danger and will really needed his support? do i need to remind anyone of his season three + ongoing arc and the iconic legendary #lucas look my arm and it's not my fault you don't like girls moments? #no one HAS to write or entertain those ideas but to act like it's INSANE when we've seen him do literally just that already...... #we all know mike's got a mean bite and that he is absolutely losing the fight rn to conformity like 😭 huh.. #like even in AU contexts that gets thrown out as being preposterous. since s3 will has been the one trying to ''fight'' for #their friendship and in s4 we see him initiating contact and getting rebuffed so it's just like . dsfhbjkjhbdfkjhsbdkjfhbdkj #like do u get what i mean. why do people act like it's crazy that he'd ever be hesitant why is that never considered for even a second #why is will the one that's written as being resistant in every way!!!!!! #anyway. clasps my hands together. I Love Yelling At Clouds #byler #mine

its 1 am do you guys want an infinity headcanon from my brain. i've said this elsewhere but i'm collating it finally. zagreus hadesgame and rachel animorphs are friends because the train always spawns zagreus into the fight your dad car (its like a bonus boss fight) and he rolls through the colosseum afterwards if he doesnt die. also zag can get off the train by dying he just goes back to hades but the train is now incorporated into the roguelike map so sometimes he goes through a weird door in tartarus and ends up back on the train. as you do

#interstitial infinity #TO BE CLEAR none of this is in the actual show. this is entirely extracanonical. i just think its funny #i have written a tiny bit of zag on the train fic also. may post it someday #zag is sir not appearing in this season but if we ever do another oneshot id like to play him at some point lol

[astrowarr]

i actually don't think it would've made sense for martyn to get the boogey task.

it was literally.. a boogey task. you know, the mechanic where greens and yellows were forced to kill against their wills? because it wasn't actually a zombie apocalypse, remember. not to mention it would've completely destroyed the enter gimmick of the typical red life tasks, which are meant to be fun creative new ways of hurting/killing. also, I think red tasks are set up the way they are in part to increase the survivability of red names, which was super important this session seeing as there was only one left.

also, we all saw how low gem got leading that army through several kills. she died eventually, and even if it was scar killing her accidentally, she was so low at that point it was guaranteed she was going to die for that task. if that was martyn, he wouldn't have even been able to go get a new red task and get some hearts back you know?

"martyn didn't get to do anything because of it!" that was also his choice though! he could've said hey, you guys are slaughtering people? awesome let me tag along. instead he made the decision to stay far away from that because he was very concerned about the way that was going. he purposefully excluded himself from that; there was no stipulation in the book saying "red names can't be involved or help you kill people". I'm not sure if martyn thought that was the case, but it certainly wasn't

idk, I think the fact that it was referred to as "the zombie apocalypse" all session made people forget they weren't actually zombies. they were boogeymen. that distinction matters a LOT

#i dont even want to address the “it was so forced” thing #as if that's not this seasons entire gimmick #theres an all powerful being forcing tasks upon them.. this isnt even the first clearly orchestrated task #no one had qualms with the wither + warden from session 6 #but that was clearly very manufactured too #“everyone knew what it was!” #except they didn't though #not a single survivor ever spoke the exact wording of the book #almost all of them except joel werent even referring to it as boogeymen #but just “zombie apocalypse” #no one figured out the most recent infected had to participate in the kill for it to spread #idk! i think a cool mechanic from a past series was nodded at much like grians double life themed task #and people sort of took it the wrong way #secret life #trafficblr #ian yammers

[camgoloud]

one small detail that stood out to me about this latest episode that i haven’t seen anyone else talking about yet is that when the commentators are calling colin “inspiring” and the “man of the match,” they are celebrating him not for actually scoring the goals himself, but for providing the crucial assists to make both of them happen. and i really love that because for me it’s the absolute perfect wrap to his character arc across all three seasons!

like, we know that colin’s job on this team has never been to score goals. in fact i’m pretty sure we’ve never heard about a single goal that he has scored. colin is and always has been a team player, not a star—and we’ve seen that crop up over and over. notably, we’ve seen the fact that he’s not entirely at peace with that crop up over and over: see the way he was affected by nate’s entire holidy-inn-painting monologue, being benched to make room for zava, etc.—like, this is the thing he’s sensitive about! this is where all of his insecurities come from!

but at the SAME TIME it’s also tied very intimately with all his struggles re: hiding his sexuality— “colin’s a chameleon,” etc. it’s fascinating because there’s SO much tension there between colin 1. feeling bad about the fact that he never stands out on the pitch the way some of his teammates do, because of who he is on the team, and 2. feeling like he CAN’T stand out, ever, because of Who He Is As A Person. etc. it’s like. he’s filling this role in the background. he’s afraid he’s not doing it well enough. he’s afraid that what and who he is isn’t good enough and isn’t worthy of recognition. he wishes he were someone different. trying to be someone different in the locker room is clearly making him so unhappy and stressed out. it is All Connected and my thoughts have been doing laps around it at an ever-increasing rate since i watched episode 2.07 ‘headspace’ if not before!

and all of this is why it’s so incredible to me that in the end, colin’s big moment comes from making assists and not goals! because on the one hand i understand the fandom desire for the colin post-coming out glowup that we all knew was coming—to see him, like, ~prove everybody wrong about him~ and inspire people by suddenly becoming a standout player and scoring goals left and right, even though that never used to be his role on the team before. and don’t get me wrong, i was 100% on board that train, and would have loved it for him if that was how it went down in the end, also. i think he should get to score here and there! as a treat! especially now that richmond are playing total football and there’s been so much emphasis placed on how it’s not just jamie/dani/occasionally sam who are making all the goals anymore!

but i don’t know! especially after the events of the last few episodes, there’s something very special to me about getting to see a colin who, rather than becoming someone entirely new in the moments right after coming out, just feels free to become, and be at peace with, the best version of the same self he’s always been. he’s still a team player first and foremost, but now that he’s not as weighed down by the need to chameleon/hide/pretend to be someone he’s not, he’s so much better at it. and everyone sees this! he gets to be celebrated for his contributions within the role he’s always played! he (and everybody else!) finally recognizes the value that he adds to the team just by being himself—fully himself! it resolves all the tension and insecurity that we’ve seen him struggling with this whole time, on every level. and so this moment was genuinely the perfect ending for his journey in my opinion—i’m so so happy that we were tall enough to join him on the ride here, and so excited to see what he does going forward these last few episodes now that some of that pressure is off him <3

#it's like. he doesn't want to be a spokesperson! he shouldn't have to End Homophobia by becoming zava 2.0! in fact it would not be possible #for him to do this even if he DID come out publicly and then became the best goal-scorer the league has ever seen because the people who are #the problem will ALWAYS manage to find something to attack him for no matter what he does #what's important to me and i think to him as well is that he has the confidence in himself that he needs to perform at his own personal best #and that his teammates recognize this and support him the same way he has always supported them both on and off the pitch #and while a part of me would have liked to see a public coming-out arc i completely get why they're not going there. it would be a lot to #tackle and this season is already getting justified criticism for spreading itself too thin #i think it would have been POSSIBLE to do and do well but. it would place a LOT of constraints on the entire rest of the plot #and i do recognize somewhere in the back of my brain that colin is not ACTUALLY the protagonist of this show for most people #so them choosing to take the character in the ‘i don’t want to be a spokesperson’ direction instead makes sense and was handled very well #anyway. one other reason i’m pleased about all of this is that while most of my recent tl fic is no longer canon-compliant as of this week. #i sure did NAIL the happy ending being an assist and not a scored goal. have been thinking these thoughts for WEEKS and i feel so vindicated #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #colin hughes

[raayllum]

I don't even know if I can adequately express how much this scene means to me (besides the slight gushing I gave it in regards to Callum's characterization a while ago) but I'm gonna do my best / talk about it more in relation to the context its primarily couched in, which is Rayllum's dynamic.

Rayla, we've been through a lot is the understatement of the year, but has been continually reaffirmed over the course of the seasons ("We're in this together" from 1x05; "In fact, it's probably the hardest thing we've ever done. But we haven't done it alone" in 2x01 about her explicitly; "Believe me, I wish I could go down with you" from 2x07; "I'm here with you" in 3x04, etc). They mourned, travelled, changed together, gave each other new senses of self and purposes, saved each other's lives, and for Callum in particular, trusted her with Ezran numerous times. She's his person - she has been for a long time.

And a lot has changed. The time they spent together was the craziest, most transformative period of their lives, and now even as everything threatens to be crazy again, they have/know something they didn't before: each other as their cornerstone, and that's not changing, as he goes on to say with a little smile on his face to boot.

Ah, well, some things have changed... like having their parents, or an old crush on Claudia, or not trusting one another, or trying to save a dying dragon egg, or not being madly in love with each other, lmao.

But not everything has changed, he reflects. ("Do you understand? We'll lose everything." / "He sacrificed everything to Azymondias could be born" / "You're my brother, and you mean everything to me" / "Rayla's strong, thin arms wrapped around him meant everything"). Through it, through so much of the change and all the heartbreak and the last two years, one thing has never changed. It never will.

I would do anything for you.

("I had to do something. I had to save him" / "Maybe there is something I can do" / "Give me something. Show me that not all is lost." / "I would do anything to change this." / "I'll do anything for our family, Dad. However dangerous, however vile." / "I'll do anything to save my son. I'll do anything!")

This line already would've been a sucker punch and flashing neon light warning sign even without the prior two episodes directly hammering it in with Viren, Claudia, and dark magic. On the one hand, it's incredibly sweet and reassuring - that no matter what Rayla needs help with, Callum will help her shoulder it, and do anything and everything he can for her (like he's always done). It's exactly what she needed to hear. On the other hand, it's dangerously exploitable as we see later this season, and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here.

While I could see it manifesting in something related to the coins (because again, context of said conversation) given the routine emphasis on protection ("I have always done what protects my family" / "Everything I do, it's for my family. It's to save my dad" / "So long as we protect each other, so long as we love each other, you can never control us" "They'll do anything for you, so you'll do anything for them") I do lean towards it, as always, taking a far darker, more drastic route. And if you know, you know ;)

#dragons liveblogs #rayllum #the dragon prince #tdp #wishlist achieved #5x04 #whoever decided to give this scene the spinny camera angle has my entire heart #like yes Of Course it's my favourite line in the season #it's everything i've ever wanted #& i'll finish the rest of it tomorrow #i would do anything for you

I’ve spent the last like 20 minutes confused about whether or not Sklonda and Gorthalax being a thing is like. Safe. For Sklonda. Because he’s like 6 times her size?? And I personally think that that would probably NOT feel great. I think that that would probably hurt a lot actually. And I guess if that’s her thing then good for her?? But also there’s No Way that’s a good fucking idea like c’mon. Just. Ouch. Owie

#kiri rambles #as a pussy haven’t myself it just seems like that would not be enjoyable frankly #*haver #I’m curious if they ever bring this up?? #I’m on episode 13 of season 2 do they ever question this?? did they already and I’m forgetting?? #like I’m concerned for her!! girl there’s no way that safe!! girl your internal organs!! you’re entire pelvis bone!! ouch!! #sklonda gukgak #gorthalax the insatiable #dimension 20 #d20 fantasy high #fantasy high #fhsy
