#not by a long shot

Sigh.

I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna say it again.

1. I warn you against taking the story beats in MHA at face value. Just because something looks one way doesn’t mean Horikoshi won’t make it go a different direction later. He only puts like one or two major story beats per chapter. Don’t be fooled by them.

2. Just because Hawks lost his quirk doesn’t mean he’s done. If you think this, you’re guilty of the exact thing the moral of MHA warns you against: equating a person’s worth to their quirk. Why’re some of y’all agreeing with AFO on this? We literally got a flashback to chapter 1 where this perspective was explicitly debunked!

3. Heroes are heroes BECAUSE they make sacrifices for others. I guarantee that by the end of this, many characters will suffer permanent consequences not as a result of being heroes but because definitionally making these sacrifices is what makes them heroes in the first place. And yet I predict a significant, noisy portion of this “fandom” is gonna cry about how someone losing their quirk or becoming disabled or dying ruins everything because some of these characters can no longer be “pro heroes”--as if the story hasn’t been telling us all along that “pro heroes” aren’t necessarily real heroes. Anybody can be a hero, regardless of their quirk. That isn’t referring to PRO heroes but TRUE heroes. Some of y’all need to listen to Stain more closely.

You know I saw a post recently that said something along the lines of "You can't hold anything Moash did after he became Vyre against him, because he's under the influence of Odium and he's too mentally ill to see that he's wrong."

And I just??? What???

You did read Oathbringer, right? Being under the influence of Odium does not mean that Moash isn't in control of his actions... that's like the whole point of Dalinar's arc. Odium doesn't make the choice for "Vyre;" he is still in control of his actions.

Say what you will about whether or not Moash is in the right when it comes to the Alethi nobility or what have you; I'm not here to debate that. But the argument that Moash/Vyre is not responsible for his actions is demonstrably false.

#for further clarification this is NOT targeted at all Moash fans #not by a long shot #I have very little to say on the actual debate itself #I just do not vibe with the whole. yknow. #Moash is not responsbile thing #honestly I wish I could find the post that I saw making this argument #and reply to it #but alas idek when i saw it #it's been a minute #cosmere spoilers #moash #moash stormlight #rythm of war #the stormlight archive #taiga says things

Ten years apart, my parents’ objection to my career have changed a bit… at least they’re acknowledging that Trans rights are in danger now 🙄.

(I should be shooting a self-tape but it’s beating me over the head rn)

Pretty sure this is just how Michael Chiklis addresses every set he goes on, even when he's not a part of the cast

Today I learned it’s ok to steal someone’s land and bomb a far smaller power as long as you hide behind the fact you’re Jewish

today i learned its land back except for jews! thanks :)

Raz isn't stupid, he knows redemption isn't easily achieved and he knows how easy it is to slip back into shady and devious ways for someone who was knee deep in it for as long as Gortash was. That's why he designed the reformed tyrant enrichment program!

All inclusive access to the adamantine forge, a shiny new workbench, and an endless supply of automaton parts and new/scavenged tools delivered personally by your adventuring bf, who comes home and blows your back out every night and smothers you in love and attention when you need it most!

Getting sick of being cooped up like the prisoner on house arrest that you are? Feel free to tag along with your bf and his friends who still hate you to help keep him alive when he tries to befriend a group of ogres that have never tried Dragonborn meat before.

Whether you stay in or go out, you'll be too tired and satisfied to worry or lament about silly old plans of becoming a Godlike being!

Them: Dean fans only like him because they're attracted to Jensen.

Me:

Pretty sure I like Dean on his own merit. I can separate fictional characters from real life people, thanks.

I mean, have you seen thee Dean Winchester?

Who wouldn't love this guy?

#are you having trouble separating the two yourself? #anti antis #anti dean hate #dean winchester #not saying he's a perfect guy #not by a long shot #but that is the most ridiculous take i've heard in the past 3 years on why people like dean #just say you hate jensen and go #i won't stop you #ridiculous

So after “wild man Fuse” was said all I can think about is he probably did a lot of things he’s not super proud of ,but he also know that those things he did made him into the person he is now and lead him to were he is now (courtesy of Bloodhound )

Which leads my fanfiction reading self to think, what if he had a kid he didn’t know about. I know it’s a super over used trope but like hear me out, he probably did a lot of things with alot of people 🤷🏻‍♀️ so what’s the possibility of it happening? Anyway it was just a thought that didn’t want to leave till I put it out in the world

Also I’m not talking about a child, Fuse is older so the kid would probably be more of like 20 something

#apex legends #Fuse slept around #nothing wrong with that #gotta experience things to know what you like #and what you don’t #honestly think Hound had a couple of partners too #just not as much as Fuse #not by a long shot #just a thought while I was working
