Vault Entry 008: Double Vision 🥀

I’d seen people give their Shigaraki figures random props before, so I tried it too. Only this time, I put my mini Tomura plush into his hands. 🪡✨

Rough seams, uneven fabric, eyes that don’t quite match. Imperfect, but real.

It’s eerie, uncanny and almost tender. The clash of sharp plastic and soft cloth feels like a metaphor: destruction holding onto fragility, or maybe just chaos staring at its own reflection.

And maybe that’s why I love these photos so much. They feel like him. They feel like me, too.

I sometime remember some part of the bnha ending I've seen on your blog and I'm here like. My god. It's so twisted

Yeah... For me, there is a lot about the mha ending that feels very twisted. 🥲

The story ends with everything kept the same as before, and none of the problems that are brought up during the story are resolved in a satisfying way. If anything, fan backlash is why some of the ending later got redacted, changed, or given a more "positive" outlook compared to how it was posted originally.

Very depressing to think about lol

Finally finished reorganizing everything! Again...

The shelves are so much more organized and neat. But I kinda miss the busy look I had... But hey, now it's easier to add new items.

I separated them to blue hair/ white hair. But then I realized I have literally only ONE blue hair standee and the rest were white hair. So I had to find a way to display all of those. Thank God I live near a Daiso. They have a lot of good stuff for shrine displays.

Vault Entry 007: Reflections bite harder than reality 🪞🖤

Reflections don’t lie. They sting sharper than reality, because you can’t outrun yourself in the glass. It traps you with yourself, no distractions, no noise to hide behind. Just your own face staring back. 🪞🩸

The mirror doesn’t let you lie. Some truths only appear when you’re forced to face yourself head-on… and they’re not always the ones you wanted to see. 🥀

Ok, this is something I've been thinking about for a while, but, like, Hawks in the scene where he kills Twice is framed as a villain, right? At least visually. Like, I'm not crazy am I?

In that scene, the visuals are set up in such a way to make Hawks look like the villain. He's shown standing menacingly above Twice. His entire face is obscured in shadow. Hell, even his dialogue sounds villainous. "Don't get up" sounds like a villain speaking to a hero they've just beaten.

And if we want to talk about tropes, oh boy. The act of betrayal is almost always used as a villain trope. When a character pretends to be an ally only to betray the group during a moment of crisis by killing or injuring another member of the group, that character is usually a villain. When a character the story labels as a hero (in the narrative sense) "betrays" a character the story labels as a villain (again, in the narrative sense) it's usually not framed as a bad action. But Hawks's betrayal of the League? The story seems to treat it like it actually is a violation of trust. Hawks going undercover with the League, on a narrative level, is framed like a villain gaining the heroes trust, not a hero spying on the villains.

On top of that, the whole fight between Hawks and Twice frames Twice as the hero. Twice is the underdog, fighting against impossible odds to protect his friends, a trope usually used for hero characters. And Hawks is an insurmountable force, offering help and saftey if only Twice would just surrender to him, give up his freedom to the man threatening to kill him, which is a trope usually reserved for villain characters.

In that scene, Twice is framed as the protagonist, while Hawks is framed as the antagonist.

All of this is why I believe that Hawks was originally supposed to be seen as this morally grey character. Someone willing to do the dirty work the other characters were to "heroic" to do. And then Horikoshi walked it back, finding a way to justify every action Hawks took. He frames Hawks's predecessor, Lady Nagant, as an unhinged psychopath for killing her boss, and has her tell the audience that she should stay in prison for all her terrible deeds while Hawks gets to walk free after doing almost the exact same shit.

I feel like I'm rambling, but I'm not crazy about the way Hawks vs. Twice was framed, right?
