Let's say that if I were in the tbhx universe, he would snap me out of existence for all the "X is poor" memes I made of him.

Lin Ling might not be the og Nice but he fits the role perfectly, because he's, well, nice. He's kind. He's empathetic.

He freed Moon from her curse. He gave her her freedom back, even though he was going against his own wishes. He made sure people prayed for her freedom, so she could finally leave.

He understood Wolf Girl and why she did what she did. He *gets* her. He sympathizes. He knows, he understands emotions, he's quick to connect facts.

And, by extension, he freed FirmMan. From his shackles as a firm superhero, that never bows, that never falters. He understands the stress, the expectations, the internal struggle.

I think his previous job helped at that. He had to look at nuances, he had to know what to do to make people feel certain things. That's how ads and generally, promotional content works - they have to make you feel something. Whether they make you curious, angry, sad, happy, inspired - they invoke emotions.

Lin Ling gives a lot and does not expect anything back in return. He's Nice.

Also, it was very interesting watching his perfectionism intensify. How he corrected that cup in the begging of the episode, like he just couldn't help himself, it just *had* to be even, in the middle. It's just kinda eerie. How the public perception is starting to control him, even to the smallest details. He's not "a bit more neat freaky than usual", he's getting full on ocd, everything needs to be clean, perfect, even, it's maddening. And he's so alone. Miss J doesn't listen, Moon left him, and FirmMan, the person that could understand him, didn't even want to listen to him.

GOD I love Ling Lin. This episode was the full emotional baggage and I'm so excited for the next episode oh my, it's gonna be absolutely emotionally damaging and I'm here for that!!!!!

Sometimes, I'm just like him (financially)

Dude. I am SO insane about To Be Hero X right now,,, I PROMISE it's peak but unfortunately shitposts are all I ever have to offer so uhhhhh take this 👍🏼

[imapieceofkc]

huh.. thinking about how similar Xia Fei with Vein is to Nice with Wreck... in one aspect.

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹

despite how suspicious he was of Liu Xiao's for making him spy on Shiguang, Xia Fei never questioned it, not wanting to bother with any "messy business."

yet when his Laoban "died," he refused to believe it, going so far as to let his hands get dirty to find out the truth.

⋆｡°✩

Nice, apparently known for being a perfectionist that can't stand any uncleanliness,

not hesitating to become a mess when he's just with his boyfriend

oh what love does— *gets shot 57 times by Li Haoling and his doomed yaoi*

' have a nice day ✨' he said and jumped off a building

It occured to me for the possible reason of why the Hero Comission put up a Tournament to assign "Hero X" every 2 years.

It has been established in the setting notes that the Tournament was made in order to prevent the Dawnfall incident related to Zero — which is caused by a hero being turn into a near-deity by the people's belief.

So when I found out about that little fact, my first question is: How does the tournament prevent people from turning Hero X into a deity?

Which I theorized two answers:

1) The competition between heroes and their followers allowed the Trust Values to be split. Thus, not only preventing a singular hero to monopolize trust, but also give reason for heroes to keep each other in check (or find a scandal to tear each other down).

2) The change of hands for the title Hero X allowed no singular person to stay as the strongest. If there was no competition before the Commission, then it can be infer that people don't have the basis of argument to challenge the idea of "Zero is the strongest". If no one challenge it, then the idea will only grow stronger in time.

Thus, the the advertising line "Anybody can be Hero X" isn't just a cheesy pitch. But it's a necessary narrative for people to believe that any hero they have trust in can grow to take the title of the strongest.

Anyway, that's my takeaway

Because I cannot for the life of me find ANY posts about this

Round 3 Side A

who is more dead wife?

propaganda:

Kaworu Nagisa:

He dies in front of Shinji every timeline. During one of Shinji's slumps, he approaches the boy and does a friendship 100% + confession seeded run with Shinji, proceeds to provide one of the biggest lore drops in the original anime series, then dips. This causes Shinji to spiral so deeply that it basically lead to the Third Impact. THEN, in the movies, Mr Kaworu Nagisa over here appears again and you guessed it DIES in front of him :D

Cheng Xiaoshi:

i feel like the propoganda js the same as the reasonings but i will add here more tragic details which is the person trying to save Cheng Xiaoshi has stranded their soul in space and time by doing the Illegal Thing of STAYING in the past instead of the hard rule in the show of returning within 12 hours. he is not only changing the past, but also living the whole three years until the death point jjst to try and save his bestie . he also tried to kill a man so.

so he's silly and goofy and he's a puppy character however literally the opening to the yingdu arc they put him in the dead wife filter from the other guys perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFHvA-sK-Ek also the ending he's always yearning for his wife bro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3I3kbHtYvo plus Cxs is just wifey i mean he cooks he doesn't clean he protects his husband he calls for LG when his sister is bullying him he dies sexily over and over in front of him to drive him crazy and then flirts with other men before reminding LG this was truly their link click before getting shot agai-

In the 3rd opening ("The Eye", please listen to it, you won't regret it), Cheng Xiaoshi IS BATHED IN WARM LIGHTS!!! IT'S THE CLASSIC DEADWIFE SHOT FROM FILMS!!!!!! THERE'S A LITERAL MONTAGE OF CHENG XIAOSHI BEING PORTRAYED IN THIS WARM BUTTERY LIGHT BECAUSE IT COMES FROM LU GUANG'S MEMORY!!!! Cheng xiaoshi said to "save them" before he died, referring to the other people who died along the way, YET LU GUANG'S INNER MONOLOGUE SAID "I want to use this final chance to go back to the beginning to save you". LU GUANG ALSO THROWS HIMSELF AT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER AFTER SEEING CHENG XIAOSHI GET SHOT BECAUSE HE IS REMINDED OF ALL THE PREVIOUS TIMELINES WHERE CHENG XIAOSHI WAS SHOT!!!!! CHENG XIAOSHI IS LU GUANG'S LIGHT AND HE'S WILLING TO WALK THROUGH HELL AND BACK FOR HIM IM GOING INSANE!!!!! LU GUANG PURPOSEFULLY DELAYS VEIN IN HOPES THAT IT TRIGGERS THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT SO THAT VEIN DOESN'T HARM CHENG XIAOSHI!!!!
