AFOS BASIC design talk

In BASIC when you press enter, it usually denotes the end of a code statement. What that means is that the interpreter can take what you just typed and convert it into tokens and execute it on the fly.

That is fine and dandy for small one line expressions but what about complex constructs like loops and functions. Its hard to go back and edit mistakes. The original BASIC was designed to work with line numbers. We had the ability to overwrite line numbers to fix mistakes. Things have changed since then. Line numbers are obsolete. FreeBASIC is a compiler and its not interactive. Hence they didn't have to worry about that stuff. Personally, I do like the ability to do interactive development. What Microsoft did in Q'BASIC is, they had a text editor on top and an interactive command prompt at the bottom. Q'BASIC does allow complex statements on the command prompt but I don't like it.

I am thinking of only allowing a subset of the language to be interpreted interactively. For example no loops, no case select statements, no functions, etc. Code containing complex statements can be saved on a text file separately and loaded on the console.

Also, modern languages like to use a semicolon to denote the end of a code statement. I prefer the semicolon over the carriage return as a delimiter because of long statements. Sometimes to make the code prettier I want to break down a long statement into multiple lines. I can do this the semicolon but not with the carriage return.

So this is what is going to happen. I will use the semicolon as the delimiter. In the interactive console the semicolon will be optional and as soon as you press enter that will denote the end of the code statement. Shift + Enter will allow you to span multiple lines. When writing code on a text file. The semicolon will be required.

“The problem that Eri's quirk brings to the stakes of the entire manga is an issue that would require its own post.”

I doubt I’m the first one to ask this: can we please see that post?

Believe it or not anon, you were the first to ask for this post.

Eri's quirk didn't break the stakes in her introductory arc because she had absolutely no control over it. Rewind was just as likely to kill the heroes as it was to save them.

But the cracks started showing quickly. Mirio losing his quirk was cheapened by him immediately bringing up the possibility of Eri using her quirk to get Permeation back. And somehow she managed to do that without consequences in less than a year. This could have been fixed if say Overhaul isolated a specific aspect of Rewind in the quirk erasing bullet and her use of the full quirk led to a different result. For example, maybe Permeation would come back altered or Mirio would lose all of his memories from the moment he was rewound to before he was hit with the quirk erasing bullet. At the very least then he would have to relearn the quirk or relive his grief of Sir Nighteye and lose his memories of taking care of Eri.

There was this undercurrent from the First War Arc on of "well Eri could fix this" whenever a character was severely injured. It was especially bad in Act Three. All for One was just rewound out of existence due to his own hubris rather than actually having the heroes (or Shigaraki) defeat him. The use of her quirk in the final fight between Izuku and Shigaraki just destroyed the stakes of an already bad fight. It had been foreshadowed since Act One that Izuku might lose the use of his arms. It ruined the tension for Izuku to get his arms back two seconds after losing them while trying to reach out to Shigaraki. Beyond that, why did her quirk work with just the horn, why did they know that would work, and why was her contribution to this final arc being completely objectified again whether it was the bullets made from her blood or the horn.

Beyond the stakes issue, Eri's character also presents a thematic problem. Eri was a character who spent her life being used as a weapon for her quirk. Her arc was supposed to be about learning to be about becoming her own person and accepting herself. Yet almost all of her dialogue after the Joint Training Arc was about using her quirk. She was used like a plot device for her quirk when the entire point of her character was to criticize viewing people as tools for their quirks.

hc for Katsuki's sidekicks:

two sidekicks who are UA 3rd years/just graduated and they're both girls and very competitive rivals who are very serious in their job and they both grew up admiring Katsuki's skills, passion and spirit when he's fighting so they want to surpass him (that's why he accepted them). But they don't really like each other and get annoying sometimes because they fight and argue a lotttt, like imagine they're in a mission and are arguing through the comms and Katsuki is so annoyed and face palming telling them to "FOCUS IDIOTS" but he secretly smiles because it reminds him of his rivalry with deku when they were young.

They also spent their 1st and 2nd year internships with Katsuki and he trained them soooo hard because he sees boys and girls equally and also saw so much potential in those two. that made them so happy (I'm assuming their society is still misogynist like it was during the sport festival)

Part 2 of my sidekick au

[plusultraetc]

how have I never thought about how Hawks' favorite hero was Endeavor, when he himself acknowledges that his quirk's greatest weakness is fire and Shigaraki's favorite hero was Eraserhead, the one hero who could take his quirk away

[spinji]

All for One calling Bakugou an extra while Katsuki internally and calmly swears to never pick on Izuku again. This is fucking cinema.

Fulfilling my quota of Touyadoomposting by going back to this theory and expanding it. This is mostly a crack theory except instead being funny everything is just horrible lololol

Ok so as silly as the Tenko's entire life being orchestrated by AFO pretty much since he was born reveal was, it also gave us the fact AFO used to have drinking dates with his father specifically for the purpose of making him as abusive to Tenko as possible.

Combine this with the weirdly OOC fact that Enji gave up on achieving the number one place at the ripened age of 20. Sure, Allmight's shining beacon of hope and strength may have been a source of great jealousy for a young and upcoming number two pro hero but come on now. 20 is still a teenager, why are you giving up without even trying.

Enji's admirable hero quality is determination.

No matter how insecure he secretly was, giving up at 20, with a perfectly healthy body, and putting all of his determination into making a kid with a quirk stronger than his own and making that kid achieve his dream in his place, is not even backwards logic, it makes absolutely no sense. Enji is not even one of the quirks obsessed characters, he has never been interested in anyone's quirk besides his own and his sons'. Despite his weakness (overheating), he is all about pushing through and overcoming it. To put this shortly, Enji is dumb as a shoe a very single-minded person. This is simply not someone who would entertain such concepts as perfect quirks or eugenics.

You know who does though? Yeah, this guy.

Enji is ruled by his emotions and has tragically low emotional intelligence. This makes him very susceptible to manipulations. And AFO is one hell of a manipulator. A villain obsessed with destroying Allmight and the number two hero who dreams of throwing Allmight off his pedestal. Why wouldn't AFO seek him out? If he saw that seed of self-doubt and carefully nurtured it, Enji giving up despite being so young would start making sense. Enji seeking out a quirk marriage would also make sense (I refuse to believe this man is the only one who came up with this idea in the entire manga). He clearly didn't know what he was doing.

Even choosing a Himura as a candidate for his little eugenics experiment would start making sense if it was actually AFO's suggestion. The Himuras are famous for their strong ice quirks, and Enji's goal was creating a heir whose heat tolerance would be higher than his. This is basic logic. Having babies with a woman who has an ice quirk and is vulnerable to heat won't land you any kids with a fire tolerance higher than your own. He set himself up for failure, they all came out like Touya

Granting Enji's logical thinking abilities the benefit of doubt, we look the other way and spot Garaki being involved in this case. AFO wanting to see what would come out of genetically combining strong ice and fire quirks just for the sake or his curiousity makes so much more sense than Enji being unable to comprehend his choice for the quirk marriage wasn't even fit for his goal. Touya did eventually end up in AFO and Garaki's child laboratory, which was the purpose of Garaki fronting as a quirks doctor for kids. And Enji was in contact with Garaki since Touya was 4 years old.

Also makes for such an evil irony that Touya's trauma stems from him seeking a reason for his existence and not finding one. And the entire reason for his very birth is just AFO being a cold-blooded quirkist manipulator

I offer to tumblr my half-baked au where Deku and Monoma are both biologically half brothers through AFO.

[dittolicous]

If I can be real for a second - what turned me off from BNHA/MHA wasn't even the series itself (though it def has some things I don't care for in the later half) but the fucking real life League of Villains stans who just CONSTANTLY blasted the hero side and acted like LoV were totally in the right just because they have tragic back stories where they were abused or failed by society (it started getting truly unbearable when Hawks killed Twice, like jesus. I will forever argue his actions were entirely valid, if misguided, given the information he had).

Because... it's literally the gif.

The who damn point was that they had valid points, that hero society was fucked up and failing the people who needed help the most... but LoV were not against MURDERING GENUINELY INNOCENT PEOPLE and thus had to be fucking STOPPED. They didn't just kill heros, they'd kill civilians as well. They were actively continuing the cycle that hurt them, just for the other half of society. Their actions weren't about making everyone equal, it was about making others suffer and putting themselves at the top.

Their reasons being understandable and sad DON'T MAKE THEM THE TRUE GOOD GUYS. Just like the heroes weren't purely the good guys because they fought bad guys (fuck Endeavor, all my homies hate Endeavor). It was gray vs gray, not black vs white. Both sides had something they needed to learn or understand, and change as a result of.

I just got so sick of wading through 'LoV is right!' 'Kill Hawks/All Might/etc.' 'All Mights a bad guy' rhetoric, I couldn't enjoy MHA.

AFOS BASIC - Interpreter style

The first version of AFOS BASIC will be what I call an interpreter masking over JAVA. What I mean by that is that BASIC will be at the surface (what you see) and JAVA will be underneath (doing all the work). The term masking meaning BASIC is just a mask that JAVA is wearing. (note: masking should be a vocabulary word).

In the second version of AFOS BASIC, I will convert all the tokens into byte codes and attempt to develop a virtual machine. The interpreter will not evaluate the syntax tree. Instead it will convert it into byte code and pass it over to the virtual machine to execute it.

head canon/ theories for who Hisashi is and role he'll play in the story

With DFO resting in the grave, I thought I'd give a few of my other theories I have come up with for Hisashi over the years.

He's the person the Deku narrating everything too. IDK why but for Some reason I always liked this theory. Although there no evidence that Deku is telling the story to anyone, I can't help but think it's neat.

He studies quirks, like that his job. Considering 80% of the world has a quirk I think it's fair to say there would be people studying them for many different reasons. I think he be this strange mash up of a doctor, scientist and academic. His job would make him travel around the world and study bizarre, amazing and dangerous quirks. It also be a great tie in stories wise to the quirk doomsday theory, if it turns out he was really away studying to see if that theory is actually true. (I also think that where Deku pick up his hobby for studying quirks as well) his job would make him have to be away from home for long period's of time and not easy to contact sometimes. Despite how interesting his job sounds, it actually involves a lot of paperwork and reviewing and research.

When he's home he's usually home for a good six months or more, and typically the three would do things together when he's home. Inko doesn't mind Hisashi job because he was doing it long before he met her and didn't want him to quit doing it just because they got together. And like most Japanese housewives she controls the finances he just makes the money that give them all comfortable lives.

I think he's a quite, charming guy who keeps to himself, unlike Izuku and Inko he's much more calm and never cries. He very much like's his life, he has no dreams or goal to become a hero or be out on some battle field. He's a passive guy who isn't big on violence, and see's the value in a ordinary life. I wouldn't think of him as a pushover, but like Izuku he's nice to everyone he meets. Also like Izuku he is the person you do not fuck with, he seems like a guy that vaguely feels like he's been through some stuff, it take a lot to get him mad but when he is, you run for the hills.

Izuku doesn't think of him much because he knows his dad doing just fine and is used to him going away on long trips. But also because as much as he hate to admit it, Izuku does not want to end up like his dad when he grows up. As much as he loves and respects Hisashi and think he's a good man with a stable job, he feared that if he grew up to be his dad then it's an admission to giving up on his hero dream, and just being content with ' an ordinary life'. Something he does not what to think about now that he had a real shot at being a hero. That being said, If Hisashi where to come home at anytime Izuku would absolutely be happy he's home and they go do something together.

Hisashi is the person who introduced heroes and heroics to Izuku, and arguably shaped how Izuku viewed them, and how Izuku would believe a hero would act. Hisashi like Izuku is an All Might fan, just not to Izuku level. Izuku only vaguely remembers, but Hisashi was the one installed a lot of values that is ingrained in to Izuku being, of being a good person. One of them being to never give up on saving a person and that everyone deserve a seconded chance. (I think he'll show up at some point in the flash backs that are happening)

His is neither supportive of Izuku hero dream nor is he dismissive, ultimately he just believes that Izuku life is his own and Izuku can do what he wants. Hisashi just there to provide Izuku with every possible pathway he can get, no matter how impossible they may seem.

He's AFO son, because can you imagine how hilarious that would be.

Quick s7 premiere thoughts

Loved the new episode, I sure wasn't ready for Afomura becoming a thing so soon, like that scene is still... that

But otherwise wow

also a quick thank you for this scene having THIS track (a bit off from the original version) and voices of both AFO and Tomura mixing in places there

to other things

little dangerous hand man

I'm in love with the ending... "Believe" and "Sketch" and now this one are like a Holy Trinity of Villain connected endings and this one FEELS like it belongs to MVA or something like that WAY MORE than the ED version of Believe did, even if the song was directly connected to Tomura and Izuku via text

that's just my "I want THIS SPECIFIC WAY" of wishing an ED was and I got what I wanted in a way with everyone from the LoV having their moment to shine (from the current arc aside from Compress) - so Spinner, Toga, Dabi and Tomura all have that. IN BOTH ED and OP

and then OP is like

this

so yeah, happy s7 day

The two people who created children while thinking of All Might are now fighting for his attention

This is their first canonical interaction
