The 15-16 Year old's being at war was not part of the plan, mainly as it was 16-17 Year old's, not much better but quite frankly there was no plan for that to even happen, MHA's main story line for 1A is a fluke 1 in 100 chance of happening, no one expected the war to go down, let alone frontline fighters be fucking Teenagers, it just happened that these Teenagers were being attacked by the primary cause of the war and knew to a degree what to do, they needed trained individuals and Classes A and B were punching well above their weight class.

The thing about the 20% of people being quirkless, that number is filled by primarily older people, if I had to hazard a guess most people under the age of 50 have a quirk, heroics is just the one we see the most because that's what people wanted to do with their powers.

The other thing is we are looking at the universe from the outside in and trying to apply our logical understanding of how our world works to it, it's one with Superheroes as the main characters, and in a society based around Superheroes, off course it's messy and utterly dysfunctional because lumping everything in with Superheroes is such a dumb idea but pretty understandable for a society that one day got superpowers across the board, they were going to explore the stars but then got powers and snapped from.

"Okay we're almost good to put colonies on the moon"

"Samuels shooting sunscreen out of his hands"

'FUCK!"

And who knows MHA probably has proper superpowered EMT's or something, but we only ever get a proper in-depth look at Japan, who's to say that there isn't a country that operates with a college system rather than highschool.

Also very quick note, Endeavour is more of less the Batman stand in, he wasn't their for profit his starting goal was to become a hero to sort of avenge his father and stop the overwhelming amount of villains on the rise, it's just heroes are not under any circumstances given the option to decompress and I don't know talk to someone, and he spiraled Hard.

Heroics is by design an utterly stupid profession, but it was created and people have been hardwired in MHA to think it's the best way forward, and no one stopped to think that maybe putting all of our eggs in a big H shaped basket was the not the way to do, fucking anything.

Oke so actually – I've never seen anyone roasting the dysfunctional society that's mha society.

Or I was just not searching good.

But like – it doesn't actually matter rn – cuz I'm gonna be the one to roast it rn. Be fucking ready.

So like – the fact that 15-16yo even was allowed to the battlefield is already the biggest red flag choice I've ever seen.

Like – who was making laws and choices? I just wanna talk.

So look – at the ages of 15 and 16 – what was doing? Probably trying to figure out if that girl was just nice or really had crush on you.

Kids from mha? Already – fighting with villains that's wanted across whole japan, fighting for their lives, making choices that even seasoned adults fear to take, already fighting societal pressure, public expectations and jist for what?

Just to get a clap on your shoulder and – "congrats I guess"?

Why? Oh well – maybe cuz if every other bitch can become a hero and flesh hero licence – becoming a hero just loses it's importance?

Maybe people rightfully start to stop celebrating another heroes graduation? Cuz mha's society made it so painfully simple to become a hero?

Like be honest – would you celebrate the graduation of a hero #9000? Of course no – no one would expect for his family and it'd be not for the fact that their child can save lives – it'd be more abt finally shovelling money.

And – that's what mha world wanted? For the name 'hero' to become smth so often used – that it just wastes its meaning? Its true weight?

And damn god – don't even get me started how people with quirks have just one path choice – you're either a hero or a villain. That's all – you're not allowed to choose other career paths than this.

It wouldn't be much of a problem if not one world building shit that Horikoshi sometimes forgets himself – that people with quirks take up to 80% of world population.

That's not smth to simply throw at the start and forget abt – that's literally where all my societal issues talking is steaming from.

Like no – it's not a quirky fact – it's literally what makes me thinks that this excessive numbers of graduating heroes is a fucking sign of a barely functioning society – if it's even functioning 🙄.

Like look – the lack of path choices for people with quirks means that other important for society careers are just ignored or – occupied by the left 20% of population that's quirkless.

Like – good that they at least have jobs but like – how is it so that government didn't already integrated people with quirks into other works and careers?

Like – people with quirks take 80% of popularity - how do you expect for entire societies to work with only 20% of popularity covering – medicine, engineering, law enforcement, firefighting, knowledge, military, politics and etc?

Bitches be expecting those poor 20% be helping them when they stub their toes and dare to act as if they're above them just cuz of some flashy genetics🙄.

Now ya see? Ya see??? That's what I'm talking abt. Not does mha world purely relies on those 20% covering essential jobs while MOST of the popularity acts as if reassuring words can heal a person when he's bleeding.

And they also think that 15-16 yo can handle stress better than if they let them finish school and THEN ONLY – proceed to choose if they wanna smack bad guys or not.

Like – why it's hero SCHOOL? Why school? Why think that kids fresh off from peaceful lives can immediately – be able to throw punches without hesitation, be able to make right decisions under stress and be mature while they're what? Still dumbasses who only after they turn 18-19 would learn abt responsibility and accountability?

Bitches be serious 🙄.

Like – in my opinion? They should've:

★ Let the hero school to be college than school. This way – by the time they would take entrance exams – they'd be physically and mentally more mature and better handle stress than if they'd be 15-16.

★ Let students have fucking career OPTIONS – like, let them choose what branche they wanna go in like – medical, law enforcement, firefighter, engineering, weapon development, political and etc. Let the hero college have career options ya can choose from.

★ Make the hero branche the most popular yet the hardest to really enroll in. This way – fucking scums like Endeavor wouldn't happen so much cuz studying is hard and there's a lot of practice where college would see – if you're here cuz you really wanna be a hero – or you're here just for profit.

★ Make it so that college gives huge stipends – especially for – medics, heroes, law enforcements, firefighters, teachers(I actually think that everyone should've get stipends in equal amounts but like – we know equality doesn't exist). Also make it so that there is – sponsorships, high status if you'd be able to enter one of the stated paths, make the studying hard – but the status and fame and stipends absolutely worth it.

And god – this way – there wouldn't be the clutter of heroes in mha world or in similar ones – and it'd actually make the heroes respected as individuals who managed to make it through the tir path that is hero one.

But like yeah – I'm done – for now.

Goodbye I guess.

It's one of most interesting thing about Sentient Locomotives is that their understanding of the world is rather far removed from that of human's, because fundamentally they are such different creatures.

And not to be negative that's why are those article that paint them as abused annoy me, their not, it's just their not human and what we consider normal for us, might be completely foreign to a locomotive.

We're social creatures who look for everything life offers us, rarely do we like being tied to a position, but for an engine that's their life, and they love it they were created with the purpose of being feed, watered and cleaned to move Hundreds of Tonnes cross country without fuss, it's their hardcoded part of their genetics but it's also a challenge for them.

Trains are like Dogs or Dragons, they have a very specific set of things they excel at but they can be taught about the world around them, should they be curious enough to ask.

Who wants to be a big nerd with me and work out a timeline of engine developmental psychology

So fun fact about this quote it's from one of my favorite Youtubers MandJTV, and I think I was one of the first to quote tweet it.

Said quote tweet was this.

Kaminari, about Jirou: I hugged my girl for too long just to annoy her and she said 'unhand me' Kaminari: Like damn, of course right away your majesty

The Railway Series celebrates its 80th anniversary today! I fondly remember my parents reading these stories to me as a child, which fueled my interest in public transit!

I decided to do my own take on one of Dalby's illustrations from The Flying Kipper to mark the occasion.

The way their eyes. I can't describe it, no I can.

Their both looking at the thing most dear to their hearts.

Currently writing a KamiJirou fic there is genuinely a moment where they both realise that they have been shipping the same ship.

It's great.

I feel like the one thing Mina and Mineta would get along for is figuring out/theorizing over who likes who or who is secretly with who or most likely to get to who, thought for different reasons

Mina likes the drama and Mineta just thinks more people should be freakin it

[midnight---express]
