I know we're ignoring canon right now, but can. Can we just talk about Dabi's ending for a second? Because like. What the fuck? This guy's been suffering his entire life. From being abused by his father, to being kidnapped and experimented on while he's in a coma, just to escape and go home to find out his worst fears have come true, his family abandoned him, they never really cared. Then, he spends the next 8 years homeless, where he damages his body so much to the point he's being held together by staples? How painful was his daily life?? No wonder he wanted to die. His life was hell. And now, he spends his last days alive trapped in a fucking fish tank, in excruciating agony (you cannot tell me he isn't in any pain. He has no fucking skin left, along with his other injuries. Not to mention the emotional and psychological trauma once again inflicted on him). He doesn't get to choose whether or not he wants to keep living through this nightmare. He doesn't get to choose whether or not he wants Endeavor to visit him every day. No one asks him his opinion on any of this. They decide for him, and he doesn't have the strength left to protest. He can't move, can't talk, can't do anything. All he can do is sit there, watching on helplessly, with the knowledge that after his death, his family will once again leave him behind and forget all about him. He'll never see the League again, the only people in the world who actually loved him unconditionally and never saw him as a problem or a mistake. He has to die with the knowledge that he failed. His family won't ever truly see him as a person, and he never, not once in his life, got to be happy.

disclaimer: these are just my raw feelings and immediate reaction because I’m feeling really hurt and sad about this and I can’t talk to anyone irl about it. this is a vent post, not me genuinely trying to psychoanalyze this ending in good faith.

mha 430 leak spoilers and the uncut unfiltered feelings of a physically disabled teenager about it

oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god okay.

so I’m fifteen, right. I’ve been caring about this show for 1/3rd of my life. I’ve been caring about these characters sometimes more than I care about irl people for. 1/3rd of my life.

and I’m physically disabled. I’ve been physically disabled my entire life, it wasn’t like an accident or anything. (minorly, but it’s obvious when you look at me and I was raised in military/christian spaces during childhood so it ended up affecting me a lot.) and I’ve always seen quirklessness as an allegory for disability. that’s always been what it meant to me.

and from the beginning I was ready for it to be about conformism, right? like if you only conform and work hard enough and bend over backwards to meet the expectations of society you can succeed. that’s what I’ve known that this show was about ever since the training montage in episode one. I had made myself content with the fact that the narrative is sort of pro system, pro police, pro stfu and cope. and the first time I watched it, I recognized the ‘greatest hero’ vs ‘number one hero’ line in episode one. I knew that that would probably be how it ended. but I really, really, wasn’t prepared for this.

he.. failed.

his stint with a quirk, in the limelight, was for a year and a half while he was in highschool. he never got to be a hero. he’ll spend the rest of his life thinking about ‘that time when I got so fucking close’. people will stop remembering him for the sports festival and by the time he’s a teacher he’ll have to show them old clips from it to explain why he’s teaching at a hero school.

and he did it all perfectly. he did it all perfectly. as soon as he was given a chance he trained hard and fought harder, and put in all the work to become a great hero. he analyzed and trained and thought and worked and he did everything right.

and then in the end he wasn’t able to keep it.

I was ready for the ending to be about conformism. I wasn’t ready for ‘you will never be fucking good enough, and if you weren’t born with an advantage, you won’t suceeed.’

although, maybe I should’ve been, with the ‘all men are not created equal’ talk in the beginning. I wasn’t ready for him to fail. out of all the anime’s I’ve watched, Izuku midoriya was the protagonist that deserved to win the most. he deserved to be happy. he did everything right. this is all he ever wanted out of his life.

and now he becomes a teacher, and has to watch from the sidelines as Bakugo succeeds without him. which is never what anyone wanted, much less Bakugo. we’re back at the beginning, back where we started. Katsuki succeeding and being great and Izuku watching from the sidelines and cheering him on. and maybe it’s much less contentious now, and maybe they will both know that Izuku is more of a hero, but that doesn’t fucking matter. from someone who had the consolation prize of moral dignity their entire life- it really, really, doesn’t change anything. it doesn’t matter. that doesn’t change the reality that he’ll spend his days watching all their fights on TV and he hasn’t seen the rest of the class for eight fucking years. I know that there are alternative ways to see the ending. I know this is probably not the intention horikoshi had with this ending. but this is how it impacted me and I’m not gonna stop saying it. once a fucking cripple always a fucking cripple, or whatever.

I always knew it would probably have an unsatisfying ending. that it might hurt me. that the cultural differences would probably only lead to my over sensitive ass being hurt and sad. but I wasn’t ready. he deserved better. izuku deserved better.

My Hero Academia 427 Spoilers

Imo, Overhaul's ending is fine.

I'm glad he'll never see Eri again (it would be unfair to her if she was forced to see her abuser) and I'm glad he has his dad back but still keeps his punishment.

I just wish we got a little bit more. It wouldn't make sense, but I was holding out hope for a full explanation of his backstory. I really wish more was done with Overhaul. But you win some you lose some, and fanfiction is a thing. This isn't a first for me, lol.

I also do wish The Boss took more accountability, since he raised Kai. And I wish he didn't subtly blame Kurono. But that's it. Solid 5/10 ending for my favorite character. Not great, not awful, it makes sense and I accept it. 👍

BNHA - Miraculous Ladybug crossover prompt

Quirks exist, but the plot of ML doesn’t change too much at first despite that. The divergences mainly start when Ladybug and Chat Noir manage to take down Hawkmoth. They successfully reclaim the Butterfly Miraculous, but lose track of the Peacock in the chaotic aftermath.

A bit later, they manage to pick up on its trail again. It’s made its way over to Japan and into the hands of a powerful, well-established supervillain. Information on said villain is scarce, but they are reasonably confident that he’s the individual known as All For One.

They mainly recognized the Peacock’s power from how he’s using it to bolster his forces (either alongside the nomu or potentially as part of the process of creating them). However, unbeknownst to them, he’s also using it to experiment with trying to create entirely new Quirks for himself to use.

Thus, Marinette and Adrien must set off to Japan to once again reclaim a stolen Miraculous from a power-granting supervillain, though this time one with a very different setup…

I'm reading a fic right now and one of the characters is an ambulatory wheelchair user. And in one scene, they didn't mention the wheelchair till they said "he rolled".

Up until that point I had assumed he was on crutches, because thats what he uses most of the time. My first thought when I read this was that he was sitting on the floor and rolled like a log, over to the other side of the room.

izuku with chronic pain x gn reader with chronic pain

i'll try to make it vague so you can imagine any chronic pain with it but i'm going off of my experiences with my conditions so sorry if it's not accurate for some other chronic conditions, and this can be read as platonic or romantic!! (i know there's a lot of intimacy in it but we love platonic intimacy and queer platonic partners on this blog)

•will put his cold ass hands between your thighs when y'all cuddle during chilly months instead of using heat packs for his aches (he says he prefers your body heat and cuddling with you and it eases his aches the same since you're so warm)

•rubs in your topical medication if you need any (he literally pouts when you do it yourself)

•gives the best massages. anywhere you hurt if a massage will help he WILL do it cuz he's sweet like that

•when one of you is having an especially hard day you'll do tasks that are a bit too difficult for the other ie you write stuff down for izuku, he helps you carry stuff, something along those lines

•you give him lil hand massages anytime you're holding hands no matter where you are, if you're both still you will be massaging his hands or arms no matter where you are

•he's so good at reminding you to take your medicine too he's a godsend

•you buy him new special compress gloves every year and he cries every time. he has a rainbow of compress gloves

•his flare up response is to work out and yours is to lay there and take it until it passes so you guys meet in the middle and do easy yoga while watching tv

•if you need to do physical therapy izuku is On Top of That Shit he's so willing to help you and do his own alongside you so you're not by yourself doing them the whole time he's the perfect motivation person

•you both make care packages and have them pre made so when you each have an especially bad flare up the other already has some medicine, a pain patch, topical medication, heating pad, snacks, and whatever else you would need!

About Bakugou's redemption, and those who don't like it

So, a thing I noticed: most of the time when people who like Bakugou (most MHA fans, if I'm being sadly honest) talk about those who don't like Bakugou, they overwhelmingly say, and seem to think, it's only about that first chapter, and what he says to Izuku.

And, about that. Two things:

Thing the first: That's... honestly not true? When I see Bakugou critical content, it's overwhelmingly about his... like, entire character, and attitude, and who he is as a person. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely those who have the stance that Chapter 1 ruined him forever, but it seems to be a minority.

From what I've seen (and you can take this with some salt if you like, I don't mind), in a very broad sort of sense the fandom seems to be those who accept the narrative presented to them, because it's fun, because they don't want to think that hard about a superhero story, or whatever, and those who don't accept what the story tells us as gospel truth. The narrative paints a story about Bakugou as a child growing up past his biased, cruel behaviors, and that's beautiful idea, sure, but it's one that isn't actually matched by the story we're given, and it's that that makes so many people hate him.

Thing the second: if that one scene permanently damages someone's view of Bakugou, as a character? You know what? That's fine. It's not wrong to dislike the fan favorite because he did a dick move, we're not all mandated to adore him. Izuku, in the society of MHA, is treated, effectively, as a disabled person. They never use those words, of course (probably because it sounds a lot worse that way), but... MHA is a society where almost everyone has a Quirk. Izuku explicitly can do less than everyone else; even though having or not having a Quirk is pretty much pointless for everything short of high level hero work (and even that can mostly be covered with support tech, AFO aside), that's... pretty much a disability. So... Bakugou systematically bullys Izuku, ruins his life, and tells him to kill himself... for being disabled. It's like someone telling a kid to kill themselves because they can't walk... except Izuku's functional limitations (societal limitations aside (which themselves are heavily implied but never explored, because Quirklessness in pretty much any context was dropped like it was radioactive once the story got going and Bakugou was being shoehorned back into the story)) are so small it's more telling a kid who is colorblind to kill themselves for not being able to see red.

And, yeah, he grows (or 'grows', as the case may be) past that, but you know what? That's still fucked up. That's still deeply fucked up. It's OK to hate that, it's OK to hate him for basiclly the first thing he ever did in the story, especially if it could so easily have led to someone's death for no good reason. This is doubly so when, unlike a lot of early manga story dick moves, there isn't a hidden reason for this behavior, he's not.. protecting Izuku from, like, a secret society, or the enemies of his mysteriously missing father, or whatever the reason is that explains that 'X' character was actually good along, and is doing it for the MC's sake.

It's just that he's an asshole. And that's honestly reason enough to not like him.

To See is To Be. And. I want to See More of Me! Disability is just one part of a character. It can be a focus, or in the background or somewhere in between. It depends on the person. It depends on the disability. But it can always be a part of the story. So let’s see what that could look like in some of our favorite stories. Ochako Uraraka from MHA Let’s increase VisibiliMe! What if Uravity had a disability? Like say type 1 diabetes. Type 1 is a genetic condition that tends to develop in childhood that makes it difficult for the body to keep a healthy level of sugar in the blood. Like many children born with chronic conditions, Uraraka had to be responsible early, and develop a routine of nutrition and exercise to maintain her sugar levels. This led to her dependable attitude and love of martial arts and fitness. Uraraka uses a device called a Dexcom to monitor her glucose, which can be placed all around the body. Ochako grew up watching her family struggle to keep up with her medical bills, leading to her want to make money. So she became determined to pay back her parents both literally and figuratively and prove that just because she has a disability doesn’t mean she can’t be a hero.
