Hey. You. Yeah, you.

You can do it.

[bibibbon]

Have updated my fics sug TTau and The Most heroic villainess and late night I was wondering...we do see so lil villainess Izu aka Izumi as villain in fics.

And then it hits how we see so lil of villainess in canon. La Brava only wanted to help Gentle...I don't have much issue with that, she loves him and wants her man to win (it helps how the relationship is reciprocated) but she is more a sidekick. She is there only for Gentle.

Lady Nagant is there...in the middle of a war and it was forgetten until she shows up to shoot Shig and promptly was forgetten till we see her in the prison, out of her own free will. How the public would react to such villainess? Do they know she is a villain? (Yes, she killed the president but does the public even register this woman is a villain bc at some time she was their hero)

And ...makes me think of Izumi. In my fic, first off, she is a grow up...and I do feel the media would try to invalidate her points and anything by saying she is a femme fatale. She seduces and throw men(women) to the side. (Further from the truth, I feel the media would try to use this narrative)

Tldr, how the villainesses are seeing in this manga? If the good heroines are eye candies...what are villains like Nagant and La.Brava or even my version of Izumi? Femme fatales (which is ridiculously funny as La Brava only has eyes for one man, Nagant has no time for romance and Izumi never even kissed anyone)

Hi @mikeellee 👋

I do remember commenting on this problem a while ago, but most major villains in mha are men, which is a shame.

Horikoshi and honestly, a lot of shonen manga's do not treat their female characters with the respect they deserve, and this is a huge problem seen with many popular shonen like MHA, naruto and even KNY.

The only female villains that I can really name are:

Curious

Toga

Lady nagant (can she even be considered a villain?)

La brava

Slice

Most of them either don't actually do villainous things, are dead, or are incredibly minor to the plot.

Now, I think we can all agree that toga himiko is the most developed one out of this list and I must admit that lady nagant and curious definitely had the potential to be amazing antagonists had they been allowed more time and more development.

In Toga himiko's situation, when she first became a villain, her personal details were kept private due to her being a minor but we know that when the public found her house they absolutely destroyed and vandalised it.

From the vandalism there is we can see things such as "toga the terrible" and " Demon" on there, so I assume that for izu in this case the backlash would be worse especially if they bring in "victims" of izu to speak on live television.

There wasn't much going on for Lady nagant's case as the hpsc wanted to keep her killing the President under wraps. They essentially did this by mentioning her as less as possible and just offering the public an explanation that she was arrested due to killing another hero in an argument which effectively ruins her entire reputation without the need for sexually degrading comments or any of that in the sort being painted directly by the HPSC however, there are probably some hero fan individuals that probably came up with theories such as lady nagant may have killed the hero for personal reasons ( something along the lines of he cheated on her etc) however that being said this idea would be something created by the public and not the hpsc themselves.

There isn't much for Lady brava, so I won't comment on her.

In the end, this idea of yours could be plausible, especially if we take the content of the short chapter that shows an interesting conversation between midnight and Mt lady where it seems like sexiness is a double edged sword in the world of mha. While this conversation itself focuses primarily on the hero industry. I believe that this could then be applied to just a general view of other areas of society.

Mt lady and midnight have always been characters shown to focus on their image, and they seem to have a fanbase that mainly appreciates them for their 'sexy' appeal. Now, this narrative can be easily twisted into calling the other an incredibly degrading comment, which we see the two women doing in the short chapter.

So , to answer your question, I think the idea is incredibly plausible especially because mha already has a theme of having the female heroes appear as "appealing" or "sexy" and has characters like momo and Kendo Market themselves as such. I imagine that this narrative can act as a double-edged sword, meaning that it can be used to directly and outright degrade the female character, especially if they are a villain.

the fact that i treat myself as rigorously as i treat every topic and person is occasionally a good thing because i won't reject something good about myself once i finally perceive it as such

I know I've promised to share the Naruto meta analyzing key aspects of the series through several academic lenses that I've been writing, and I have shared the rough draft of the introduction. I'm posting this to let anyone who's been waiting for it know that I'm going to have to take an indefinite hiatus. I need to focus on my health, which has rapidly been declining, with no answers. All of the tests and specialists I've been through; MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, bloodwork (a LOT of bloodwork), urine testing, everything. I've been to a rheumatologist, a neurologist, a gastro surgeon; hell, the emergency room several times. I was fired from a job I really liked because I was missing too many days due to health issues. I had to withdraw from college due to my health. Everything is coming back normal, but my health worsening is NOT normal. I can barely even get out of bed without throwing up or needing to almost immediately lay back down because my heart feels like it's going to explode, so naturally, writing has not been my highest priority; hopefully you can understand.

I will finish this at a later date probably

Anyone out there got a solution for when you're feeling really stuck with your art and everyone and their mother tells you the solution is to do studies and figure drawings and other such things but even just thinking about doing those things makes you Spiral and want to Kill Yourself?

Decided to log into twitter (hell) and outside of everything going to shit as always i found this piece of shit as my banner

I dont even remember when i made this but i do remember that i did and i remember how i made it

I saw a picture on twitter w some kind of caption and decided that i could make it look like a banner

i tried to add the fire flaming text that i saw on some reposted to twitter tumblr posts where someome makes a grammatical error and someone corrects them in a form of flaming (sometimes animated) text (never change guys, gals and all of you magnificent pals lol) but at the time i didnt know the website that you all used so i tried to improvise and google

I remember half way thru the making of this text being so upset that it looked like shit but after taking a break for 20 minutes i said "fuck it, it is way funnier this way" and i kinda glad that back then i decided to "fuck it we ball" it

It looks disgusting and i love it

So earlier today I introduced some of my WIPs to some new people, and I realised that many people might not be familiar with those two WIPs.

Kriya Petri: fantasy (with body horror & dystopian elements). Setting: A country called Fillor on a planet called Thuluke. In Fillor, to bind yourself to the one you love, you require a trinamate potion to seal the bond. 'Trinamate' is marriage (though that is a rather crude translation of the word). But to get a trinamate potion legally, the couple needs to be… acceptable. A man and a woman who plan to have at least one child. Yes, it's been 1000 years since the global apocalypse, but 'sufficient reproduction' is still a concern among the Filore people (plus it's a moral virtue for the Divine Monarchy, who reside on the cloudlands, with an iron grip on the institutes of Fillor). A potioneer wants to elope with their lover, but the pair is, let's just say, not acceptable. So what are they to do? The potioneer brews a trinamate potion on their own, finding the closely guarded methods & ingredients for the potion through who-knows-who, bunch of shady people. The potion explodes. The potioneer knows the punishment for something like this. They'll be condemned to Kaewoe (so will their lover, if anyone finds out), a realm so deep below the ground that it's close to the core of the planet. Kaewoe, where the mind & body are destroyed by the horribly high concentration of magic. Kaewoe, the names & lives & loves of all who enter it, all slowly turned to unknowledge. Good thing stealing identities is absurdly easy in Fillor! The potioneer wipes all memory of their crimes & love (or else the Thought magicians would know), flees to the city of Naebo. Their name is now Kriya Petri,

Welcome To The Real World: scifi, fantasy, surrealism, horror, tragedy

This one's in very early stages Inspired by Frankenstein Setting: The Great South Asian Rip in Reality, where physics (time & space both) is just completely twisted. The year is sometime in the 2070s. Sometimes it's the 2040s outside the Rip. Depends when/where you step out. Moh-maya, reality's very fabric & everything that keeps up the illusions that comprise reality, are very malleable in here. Main character: Kabir aka Moksh. A closeted Indian trans man who lives a double life, perhaps even a triple life. One in which he's a cis woman & a regular bright STEM student (STEM studies also include study of moh-maya). Another in which he's just some guy with good friends (the most authentic of his lives), where he goes by the name Kabir & uses moh-maya to present as his true self. If only temporarily. (it's painful, mentally & physically, whenever he has to revert to the female form). The third is some mad scientist bullshit, he's going by the name of Moksh among his fellow mad scientists & his main project is a moh-maya Frankenstein's monster that others can share their consciousness with, such that they can experience shape-shifting more easily & go where they physically aren't, do things they physically can't. Let's simply call it the 'entity'. Due to many reasons, creating this entity is pretty illegal. Hence the new name & collaboration with fellow shady people. the plot, put shortly: he starts doing vigilante justice w/the entity & then goes far & gets more & more consumed w/work & things go verrrrrrryyyyyy wrong despite starting with (dubious but) good intentions.

in this second one i neglected to mention the fact that you, as the reader, get front row tickets to the main character's spiral into madness & justifying murders thru the entity + the entity is a whole person & has opinions + a whole lot of other stuff, I DID mention that this WIP is in very early stages but holy fuck i could go on & on about it (just not in a way that can be packaged in a structured & sensible introduction)
