My Hero Academia?

Deku should not have gotten a quirk.

It would have been better to see him get gear and use his knowledge of heroes to become a great hero.

🔥 shipping?

Ooh well…to be honest, I don’t have a lot of hot takes about this one? I’m fine with most ships, even if I don’t ship them myself—the exceptions being incest, pedophilia, abusive/toxic relationships, etc. Zero tolerance for those

Oh actually, I do have a hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take but shockingly is: y’all who ship Master/Padawan relationships in Star Wars…you know that dynamic is parent/child, right?? Or older sibling/younger sibling, in some cases?? Is that not weird for you?? It’s weird af to me ✋

(Also, Anakin has canonically called Obi-Wan his dad twice or thrice in the movies. And Ahsoka called Anakin her older brother. Literally wtf y’all)

send me a “🔥” and a topic and I’ll give an unpopular opinion!

the brightly coloured skinny jeans that Teens wore in the late '00s and early '10s were meant to denote where you stood in gang hierarchy. salmon was the highest rank and meant you had killed someone.

I think the funniest part of this is that, if you'd floated this idea at the time, at least some parents would have believed you.

[sister-lucifer]

Hey its me ur mutual lons give me your hottest stankiest take on the creepypasta fandom. In general.

i think people in this fandom hold way too tightly to the versions of the characters created in 2013 and don’t want anyone to try and create a new or different interpretation of them, so much so that they are willing to straight up be racist/ableist/homophobic just to preserve their specific idea of their precious shithead the killer or whatever

it’s 2023 now, it’s been ten years, things change. i know that when you were 10 all the creepypastas were skinny white anime boys, and you’re totally allowed to think of them they way if you want, but not everyone does

people are allowed to make characters who are POC, disabled, gay, trans, etc, because you as a cishet able bodied neurotypical white person do not experience erasure, please stop acting like you’re being victimized

Jane is Black, Toby is autistic, Brian uses mobility aids and EJ is bisexual. piss your pants and cry about it

i don’t give a shit if you hate woke blorbofication or whatever. i’m tired of looking out over a sea of flavorless teenage boys every time i consume creepypasta content.

also stop shitting on people who enjoy the creepypasta x marble hornets crossover and/or creepypasta mansion universes. it doesn’t make you cool or better than them you just look like a dickhole

Hot take on Harry Potter?

Harry should have been in Slytherin and show how Good could have come from that house.

Also Snape is 100% creepy, I know the movie has Alan Rickman play him so it makes him seem more mysterious but… dude was a racist creep that deserved death and should not be revered in the slightest

14 and 19 please!

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time this is a personal stylistic preference, rather than a inviolable rule laid down by god, but if i open a fic and see "the Monégasque" or "the taller man" or w/e i am probably closing that tab, it just grates at my brain.

i will also take this opportunity to note that the adjective form of the adverb "gingerly" is in fact "gingerly":)) "He laid a ginger hand--" no he didn't, not unless he'd just been cooking

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like... answered here!

🔥MJ (MCU-version)

Ooh I have a few hot takes about her. Though the one I keep coming back to is that we don’t really know anything about her? Which is bizarre for such a prominent Spidey love interest. I swear, she’s more well-rounded in some fanfic (written by the right people) than she’s ever been in the movies. She’s done such a disservice in the movies, even so far as her origin.

Like…for context, here’s what we definitively know about MJ:

Has somehow never met May before NWH despite dating Peter for a week between FFH and NWH and being friends with him and Ned for two years between HOCO and FFH

Likes the Black Dahlia murder because of how gory it is

Doesn’t care what other people think…mostly

Social activist (at least in HOCO)

Likes to draw and read (very likely as hobbies)

And here’s what we can extrapolate about MJ:

Probably has a STEM interest regarding career, given her wanting to go to MIT and calling Ned “my fellow engineer” (and given the kind of school Midtown Tech is)

Was very likely friends with Liz, seeing as she was chosen as AcaDec successor

Is friends with Betty, but given that the only proof of this is the brief scene between them on the plane in FFH, they could also canonically be acquaintances

And here’s what we don’t know:

What’s her family like? Any sisters? What’s her parental situation? Why doesn’t she go by Watson? (bad home life apparently intended by the creators, but never really explored)

What schools has she gone to in the past? Does she know Peter and Ned in passing pre-HOCO?

When did she become interested in STEM and why?

When did she fall for Peter? Why? What attracted them to each other?*

Where did the nickname MJ even come from?

Why did Liz choose her to be successor? If it’s based on a friendship, how did that come about?

*this is an especially crucial one because their crushes on each other are only brought up in FFH, assumed to have developed in the 2 years between HOCO and FFH. This is the main beating heart of the Spidey trilogy, and yet most of its great moments are in its third movie!

Oh also, Michelle’s surname, Jones? That wasn’t in HOCO. That was given to her by a Variety article and the fandom ran with it (and her surname Jones-Watson wasn’t canonized even partially until NWH, with her passport in FFH just saying “Michelle”).

And Kevin Feige even said for a while that she wasn’t THE MJ, despite her calling herself that at the end of HOCO.

Like…I know she’s not the main character, guys, but surely she, Peter, and Ned talk about things?? I’m not even saying all these questions need to be answered, I just want to see more of her life outside of Peter. Even Ned got that in NWH, however brief that was! We got to see and hear about his family! Where’s that for MJ??

All this to say…I love her very much and always will, but she was done a disservice in these movies and deserved better ✋

🔥 :3

i understand that sanemi's way of trying to protect genya was pushing himself away but like. the way he treated genya in the swordsmith arc was too much like he did not need to go that far

[marzipanandminutiae]

🔥+ dolls

Kids can't buy enough Stuff for their dolls nowadays.

It seems to me that American Girl is one of the last holdouts of the "get a really nice doll [allegedly; in practice AG's quality has gone downhill] and collect outfits and accessories for them" model, and that makes me sad. With so many playline dolls, companies seem to only sell new outfits with a whole new doll, and that just feels like it's discouraging old-style doll/kid bonding. Where is the Treasuring? Where is the Spoiling? Where will the Doll Trousseaux of the future come from?!

(Can you even buy Barbie clothes separately anymore? If so, where? I've never seen them at Target- which is apparently where you get Barbies now, not a toystore, because we live in the worst timeline for childhood whimsy and wonder.)

c!Sapnap was the reason c!Dnf had a falling out because he actively lied to c!George about cDream’s priorities by saying he didn’t care about them when that’s not even what c!Tommy said. Like, talking to your best friend’s enemy about whether or not your brother in arms actually liked you aside—- c!tommy very much specified that all c!Dream really cared about was c!George and yet that’s not what c!Sapnap told Gogy.

c!tommy was also talking out of his ass the whole time like ASLKFJAKJS as if the entire spirit speech wasn't explicitly in the context of talking about LITERAL OBJECTS

that being said, yeah, c!sapnap absolutely was lying...jealousy? to make himself feel better? to shield c!george from what he thought was c!dream's inevitable not caring for him too? c!dteam are so fucking funny and interesting tbh--all of their storylines are very much connected to each other (bc c!dteam were a unit and are deeply important to each other as characters) and all of them are so fucked up, c!sapnap especially. that man had every goddamn issue ever
