Foreign sun

Nice is so silly for starting every conversation with a "Nice! :D", I love him so much!

[localstarr]

Okay but Nice was really obnoxious and unhinged to be waiting in the dark and answer professor luo with

^_^ Nice!

X as a reflection of Zero: the dawn of a new system /thoughts

The more I think about X and Zero, the more they feel like two sides of the same coin, similar in some ways, yet complete opposites. Even their color palettes reflect that.

Zero’s palette feels more unsettling, it’s almost like a negative, with vibrant reds and blues clashing against black. It gives off this intense, chaotic energy, like a void filled with madness.

X’s world, on the other hand, isn’t just colorful, it’s vibrant against white. That contrast makes everything feel lighter, more hopeful, almost playful by comparison.

They have a lot in common, both are insanely powerful, both shook the world just by existing. But while Zero came from within the system and grew too strong for it to handle, X shows up out of nowhere, completely separate from all of that, and already beyond anything the system can control.

Zero's power was built on belief, trust from the public, from himself, from the system that created him. That trust is exactly what led to the system putting limits on every hero that followed. But X? Probably doesn’t rely on trust at all and, if he does, it's not as we know it. He’s not sponsored, not managed, not even explained. He just exists, fully formed, and impossibly powerful.

That’s what makes him so compelling.

If Zero was a god created by the system, X is a god that exists outside of it.

Zero was the reason they built walls. X is the reason those walls might not hold.

Zero's story warned us of what happens when someone becomes too powerful to control. X isn't a warning. He’s a disruption. He doesn’t ask for power. He is the power everyone else has to learn how to respond to. This makes even more sense when we think about these words:

That explains X's role in the story. Establishing new systems involves pushing boundaries or disrupting the status quo. Someone has to break or bend previous rules to expose their flaws if change is ever to be considered.

So yeah, X is like mirror (quite literally) held up to everything the system was trying to avoid. A glitch in the design. A reflection of Zero and a reminder that even the best-laid rules can fall apart. The word "reflection" isn't used only to imply that they share the same impact or power, even if the intentions and outcomes are different. It symbolizes how X's identity is shaped in opposition or response. He defies the system as he was made possible because of it's flaws. And in relation to the line:

A reflection can expose hidden truths or contradictions, showing how the past still defines the present, and that now he came to challenge the ideals or limits of, not only the System, but Zero's as well. By ultimately setting everyone free from the illusion, the shackles of Trust/Fear that binds them. Showing people how it is possible to become the New Type of hero.

What would this "New Type of Hero" even be? We’re so used to hero stories being about a "normal" person gaining powers, becoming a hero, and learning to navigate this new reality. But what if TBHX is showing us the exact opposite? What if it’s a metaphor telling us that you can be just… human, and that’s what makes you an even greater hero? That our very idea of what it means to be a hero is inherently "twisted"? We, as people, can make anything come true as long as we put our mind and effort into it. The power of creation is our greatest weapon. In other words, TBHX is, through X, redefining what it means to be a hero.

The very trailer that shows X as the acting force behind every hero, literally in the spotlight, contains the lines:

Where "Born in ashes" can allude to something, or someone, emerging as a consequence of the past, such as The Dawnfall incident, being shaped from the ashes of what came before or as a product of the new system that arose from it. But it can also mean "I was born a commoner", since "from ashes" can mean "from nothing". In fact, this trailer was translated into other languages with exactly that connotation, hinting that X most likely is, or at least was, just a commoner. After all:

The mirror, reflection and disruption symbolisms are cleverly translated visually in this same trailer and others:

Zero is the past they tried to lock away. X is the future they can’t predict.

What we are witnessing now is the dawn of new system. In a snap, one chapter ends and another one starts.

Hamter

POV you're an impurity

[localstarr]

"the concept of queerplatonic relationships originated from the asexual community" and "anyone of any orientation can be in a QPR" and "it's weird to give an overview of QPRs that mentions asexuality without mentioning their significance to so many aromantic people" and "QPRs don't need to be non-sexual" are all true statements that can easily coexist

... Moon x Lin Ling

Ship it

1. Every single moment. Ok I’m sorry but the way Moon absolutely melted and had fun for seemingly the first time in a while because Lin Ling was determined to cheer her up. ADORABLE. He did everything, sacrificed possibly ever seeing her again to make her happy and free.. and what? She was overjoyed to see him (and yes, also bc of her situation) IT WAS ADORABLE. She cared about him genuinely, she wanted what was best for him and she didn’t want him to turn out like nice.. because he was genuine and real and a little messy but that’s why they work together. They’re both messy, they both don’t take themselves too seriously when they don’t have to. I love them.

2. ^ pretty much everything from here lol. I love their care for each other, I love them sacrificing what they have to so the other is happy and out of anything.. I love how they are themselves are each other. not a “hero” or “nice” just themselves, two people in an impossible situation who bonded

3. Honestly… I don’t see anything about them so I wouldn’t know what a popular opinion is

[localstarr]

Oh! Mutual would love this post

> looks inside

>I found it because mutual rebloged it

[localstarr]

Vent/rant

Having a panic attack in public is so embarrassing

[localstarr]

Wrice!

Ship it

1. What made you ship it?

-> too much of the wedding fight and backstory seemed like talking about a partner: the “breakup” comment in the other sub.

This : /hj

2. What are your favourite things about the ship?

-> how much they cared, or Atleast Wreck cared about Nice. Man gave up his dream to support Nice. They stuck by each other 🤞

3. is there an unpopular opinion you share on the ship?

-> I don’t know if it’s unpopular but Wrice being one sided is a very real possibility. At least after Moon / trust came into the picture

[localstarr]

Okay here's an ask game

Send me a ship and I'll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.

Ship It

What made you ship it?

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Don't Ship It

Why don't you ship it?

What would have made you like it?

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

[localstarr]

The investigation team: OH NO NICE IS GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!

Meanwhile Lin Ling doing Nice's advertisements at the middle of the night: Stupid Nice and his stupid perfect image >:(
