god I can't wait for mike and eleven to fight next seasonnnn I can't wait for it to start off with El being all weird and distant due to her guilt and obsession with fixing everything and becoming strong enough after what happened to max and mike to be there watching her fall into this dark hole but not being able to do anything about it because she's just so stubborn and he knows he would feel the same in her shoes but she's keeping him at this terrible arm's length insisting that she's fine and he doesn't need to be here because she can't stand seeing him look at her like that anymore, can't stand the thought that she's making him hurt like this but in a sick way that just makes her do it more because it hurts and she wants to hurt as penance for the years Max has spent wherever she is and the years Lucas has spent losing his mind over her because of her weakness and mistakes. Mike still shows up for her every day despite the fact that she barely makes eye contact with him anymore and it starts to feel like he's back in s2 desperately trying to contact a ghost but he's patient and understanding and hopes that despite her being cold and pushing him away that part of her that stares at him when she thinks he's not looking is given hope knowing that he's there and will be there no matter what and she can run into his arms whenever she's ready--that is until things get really serious and she starts heading down a path towards certain death, at which point all of the repressed pain and worry he's felt for her finally comes bursting out of him and he has to beg her to see the value in her own life. It's gonna be so good guys trust me

One TF fandom argument that confuses me is when people put Megatron and Starscream versus each other like, when people say that it's "unfair that Megatron gets redemption but Starscream doesn't" (in regards to IDW1) because like. One, IDW1 in phase 2 was written by like 4 different writers, so you can't try to claim that there was some unified vision where the nonexistent Singular Writer of IDW was like "no Starscream isn't allowed to have nice things."
And second, I don't think the writers would even think of it that way? It's not like the writers were like "okay we have one Get Out Of Jail Free Card and we're going to spend it on Megatron, sorry Starscream maybe in the next reboot you can get it." The divisions fans make between X character likers and Y character likers are completely made up fandom drama and sometimes I feel like people don't understand that the writers aren't privy to fandom infighting/drama and wouldn't write Megatron and Starscream in opposition to each other as if one character's gain must come at the other's expense.
And finally............. IDW1 Starscream literally does get to be portrayed as a more morally gray person, have his feelings shown and treated as human, even make some friends/have people treat him nicely? IDK what fucking comics people are reading where they think that Starscream is treated as an evil villain with no redeeming qualities at all. Maybe it's the same Starscream fans who shit on TAAO/Scott or something, that's the only way I could explain it.

(note: by 'hard launch', i'm thinking specifically either non-ambiguously romantic physical affection, like kissing, or explicitly stating that they are currently in a romantic relationship)
as i've said several times i am not really settled on hard launch hill but the tour is making me rethink several parts of it because like... first of all the seriously imagine it jokes i made about that being their last show actually seems like it will literally happen on their fifteenth anniversary at the concert so, disregard that.
i don't think dan and phil would hard launch in the middle of a tour, though, is the thing. i feel like if they want to like fully hard launch in some theatric way, it would have to be before or after-- and after would be some time after, since i think it's highly likely they add more tour dates sometime into terrible influence and similar thing applies. i could be wrong but i think it'd shift enough things publicly and potentially amongst fans that they wouldn't want to do it like, in the middle of something with high fan interaction.
that being said i really don't see this as being a before thing either? because if so, the clock's ticking on that info drop. they do have a lot of other secret projects they seem to be working on but i don't know if any of them are hard-launch pilled
i think it's possible that well after terrible influence, dan and phil do a doc or something that states-- with the same level of clarity as basically i'm gay, where it's not spelled out but like the word romantic is used-- that they are together. i don't really think they'd be more outright than that.
that being said, i do think they'll do a photodump on oct 19. in the past i thought one of the pictures would feature a ring but i'm not super sure?
ultimately partly why i'm not on hard launch hill is because i think it's not expressly necessary-- dan was pretty clear in basically i'm gay that their relationship was formerly romantic, and regardless of what might have changed the two of them live together, are still each other's life companions and best friends... so romantic or not they still matter to each other, significantly. and i can't really imagine they're like exes about it lmfao. but like it doesn't SEEM needed, there's this kinda connection between dan and phil and the phandom that renders is not like crucial.
but i do think they might hard launch if they (1) decide to get married (which i personally am unsure if they will anytime soon), or (2) for the sake of clearing it up Publicly but, again, not sure when they'll need to do that or what would call for it. i think it's more likely all in all that they just ramp it up before and during the tour and then in like 5 years on their 20th anniversary they're finally married etc.
honestly, honestly, the only thing i really want that might be blocked by the hard launch barrier is for them to play that fucking couple's game. i know they have it. i just think it'd be a good video.
lmk y'all's thoughts, so far i don't think i've accurately predicted a thing in this new era LMFAO so... lmk! also this is unedited so idk if this makes sense lol

I just managed to get off mha hyperfixation
And now it's happening again... Oh no
Helps with upcoming MHUI LoV event tho, it was a long time since last one happened I wonder what would happen in a new filler story part
Basically this and couple of pages of mid-final arc chapters + recent episode and next one being The Dabi episode was just too much not to get excited again
But! Important thing - I need to reread the last arc before I make anything new, if possible without finishing it to the 419 chapter and everything after, it took 2 months to really recover from the damage that chapter did
Anyway am I ready for the new event? Kinda! Do I have enough gems to get new Tomura? No! I'm not sure he'll even show up this time, because other ones were and still are really stubborn
Also Steampunk recruit took like 120 pulls in a step-up recruit and in the usual one combined
Not the best time to get LoV involved, it's cruel even
Also that one part of the page I added at the beginning was so interesting to look at and them I joked about 236 being similar. The only good thing with final arc being over is that I can say that Izuku didn't draw the parallel of seeing everyone hurt and seeing Tenko react on Mon's death
Understandable why, but it's funny to just look at them and be like, "wow Horikoshi traumatized them both"

I finally did it, I asked someone on reddit WHY they think Indara faked her own death in the first episode. Because I don't see any evidence of it and idk I just don't get the sense they'd throw out that much of a curve-ball without any foreshadowing? I feel like she'd definitely be coming up more. They almost never mention her except in the list of targets/the bit where Jecki is arresting Mae. But this theory keeps popping up and it's on my list of 'things that would tank the ending for me' if she turned out to have faked her death in some bizarre 5D chess match that hasn't been telegraphed in any way in the text. It's definitely way more foreshadowed that one or more of the witches is alive (see: 'my mother could do that' from last episode).
I get too wanting more Jedi Master Carrie-Anne Moss, but I think she's really just going to be in the second flashback episode and I'll take what I can get even if that ends up being a combined total of like 20 minutes of screentime XD
