i was never as optimistic about the ending of bnha as some villain stans were, but i never thought it'd end so badly it left me wondering why horikoshi ever bothered to humanize the villains or make them complex characters at all.

like-- i expected that at least 1-2 of the 3 villains who were heavily foreshadowed and outlined by the narrative as people to be saved would be, you know, actually saved. i didn't think that was a high bar. i've been let down before in fandoms where everyone was certain a character would live and then they didn't, so i tried to keep my hopes low. AND YET.

what happened to tomura was upsetting, but i wasn't that shocked after how disinterested the manga has seemed to be in him for like, the past 100 or so chapters. a bit surprised, because you'd think if anyone would succeed in the 'saving' mission it would be the MC, but whatever. dabi, well, they've spent a lot of time showing the way his quirk destroys his body even before this arc, so that also sucked but at least it didn't feel completely out of left field.

........but they're not even letting toga live???

i just-- what have we even been doing here? when zero out of the 3 characters that were marked out for saving were actually saved, you have to acknowledge that something has gone seriously fucking wrong with the storytelling. not even just from the perspective of a villain fan but from the perspective of someone who likes stories to be thematically consistent or satisfying in any way.

you can set up an expectation of these characters being saved and then subvert that and turn it into a tragedy- if done well that could even be worthwhile and interesting. but you can't turn it into a tragedy and then just... keep trucking along with the happy ending messaging and act like anything in the manga has been resolved and that the characters have somehow successfully completed their heroic origin stories.

like, maybe i shouldn't have expected this much from a shounen- at the end of the day it is still a shounen so i didn't expect to feel that it truly satisfactorily wrapped up all the themes it brought up around societal ills. but i expected it to at least resolve those things in a shounen-y way where they punch the problems and help these specific people and then you can feel good assuming that the state of things will continue to improve in the post-canon world of the manga.

instead we got... uh, none of that. the story refused to answer a single one of the larger questions it's been outlining for the past 400+ chapters. in the end, it was all flash and no substance, which again could've been fine, if it weren't for the way the story seemed to spend significant chunks of time trying to delude you into thinking it had substance.

truly makes me wonder what horikoshi thought he was doing the entire time. can it really all be blamed on burnout? the most that can be said for this ending is that it is, well, an ending. fuck dude, it is that.

and that's just... such a sad way to end a project that took up 10 years of your life.

ok but I liked this silly anime scene in his new evil ending... my Tav looked so sad that she couldn't stab Empy and become hokage

BORICUA MIKU WEPAAAAAAAA

I barely saw any Puerto Rican Mikus and I was disappointed so I added another one to the little tumblr collection of her.

BONUS:

A stupid sketch of Miku planning on beating the miércoles out of Flower

IDK what I was thinking for the background XD

so i say “jesus h christ” all the time, have been for years, but had no recollection of where i picked it up from. i knew it was from Something, what what the Something was was anyone’s guess.

so time goes on, as time does, and i continue to say this phrase, every so often wondering why this was an integral part of my vocabulary. maybe it was something an old youtuber said, perhaps dan howell. possibly it was from a vine. maybe even something one of my friends said. but as. it remained a mystery. and i, satisfied with the mystery, continued to say it knowing i would never know where it came from.

until yesterday.

there i was, scrolling through the absolute depths of my camera roll, searching for one specific photo that i took in high school when i happened upon some old ao3 fanfic screenshots. eager to judge my part selfs fanfic taste i opened them without hesitation.

it was a newsies chat fic from 2018. anyone who was a fandom regular will surely remember the fic “seize the gay” and i am about 99% sure that it was from that one specifically.

and low and behold i have a screenshot of one of the characters saying “jesus h christ.”

all this time

all these five years

i have been quoting a newsies chat fic from 2018

jesus h christ.

And I ain't afraid to use it.

I made One Joke about Whiskey, decided to sketch it, blacked out, and when I came to again I had This to show for it. Okay then.

I know this show doesn’t care much about timelines but like.. Chim and Hen joined the LAFD like 5 years apart and Tommy still didn’t learn in 5 years of working with him and supposedly being friends…? and then finally like 7 years after THAT when Gerrard was long gone but Sal was still there Bobby came in and Tommy was apparently cool enough with everyone but also almost immediately transferred out of the 118 (Bobby says in season 1 he’s only been back on the job 8 months) and barely spoke to any of them ever again and now it’s been like 8 more years but I’m supposed to be like well that’s fine it just took this grown man 20 years to realize workplace race and gender hazing was bad in retrospect… growth…

literally unfortunately they made him the biggest loser ever LMAO. he really is complex!

user @/badjokesbyjeff posted a joke and I had one thought

[littlesnowcloud]

Looking at TSV art always makes me do a double take (affectionate) because my mental image of these people is so wildly different from everyone else's that for a second I'm always like "haha who are these miserable strangers?? Intriguing :]"

And it's Dick Faulkner, local rat bastard with The Agenda
