#but a slow rot feels more thematically poignant
Text
i miss when we all interpreted shigaraki’s quirk as true decay rather than just reducing things to dust. i remember fics that had him rot things as he touched them and it was so much more visceral
#when he decayed aizawas elbow thats what it looked like a slow decay and death of flesh#we see when hes a kid he doesnt turn things to dust theres still blood and body left behind#so as his quirk grew it became the complete decay#but a slow rot feels more thematically poignant#the way heroics and hero society has rotted from the inside until an entire city can walk passed a little boy covered in blood#i get that being reduced to dust immediately is scarier bc theres no escape#but the idea that even if you manage to get away from it hes taken a chunk of you with him and left dying flesh behind#there was a fic that did this with bakugou really well i read it like two years ago but its stuck with me bc of how intense it is#i also think its why we feel so betrayed that aizawa doesnt have a scar#his elbow was decayed#the skin and top layer of muscle was killed and dropped off#and youre telling me that doesnt leave a scar? i call bullshit#imagine if the skin around the injury was rotted the stench it would leave behind#how much they had to cut off in order to stop the tissue from dying naturally#bc even if he stopped shigaraki’s quirk nothing stops rot once it’s begun except to carve it out#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#go beyond plus ultra#mha#bnha#shigaraki tomura
