My Only Advice To All The Girls Out There Is To Wear Weird Shit. Just Do It

@owlsinathens same!

Imagine having an actual writing room with this as a setpiece to get inspired into writing about Theon.

Imagine if they had children.

You casually walk around and then a shot is fired, the bullet is small, so you don’t see it but then the last thing you see is a boulder right in front of your face.

And 3km away a very well dressed person is making a theatrical bow at your death.

Villains and the arm thing

Hawks to Endevour: I want you to be my dad! Toya, Natsuo & Shoto: No you don’t!

312 is out and still no raws and this is still driving me mad.

White I wouldn’t call AFO completly one-dimensional because we know quiet little of him aside from being an evil overlord that wants to be an even bigger evil overlord and is a complete dick to his brother he is a villain more inclined with the likes of Muscular - he does what he wants, sees no wrong in that because he likes what he’d doing and he won’t be stopped by means of reasoning/saving like the League could be. He wasn’t wronged by a society that needs to change, he used it for his goals.

I do agree with your interpretation of Endevours ark going forward, he is taking steps for redeeming himself and while he definitly isn’t there yet and he still has so much to learn and self-reflect and take complete responsibility for what he did his ark does work towards that, which as you put it so well is sadly not usually something that happens in the real world.

And I love the take on the “I am Legend” (never watched, I don’t want to see the dog die, but now I have a nice summary.) version of Endevour’s self-realization that would fit his ark really well and is a healthier take on abuse than version that keep Endevour in the family. And since I am a sucker of people staying alive and living with the consequences of what they have done, I’d prefer a Enji finally takes responsibility for what he’s done without any blame-shifting and removes himself from the family by choice rather than death.

So I hope you are right because it is a very good and healthy take on this very complicated topic.

Anybody who has acess to raw scans and knowledge about Japanese to be of any help, because the translations of bnha 311 are saying very different things:

This is the first translation, where I want to point out the line about never stopping to smile and something missing in his soul are directed at AFO.

And Endevour clearly asks a question, which in japanese is indicated through a parcel, so if something is a question it should be obvious to see.

But then the other translation sais that the one with extra hatred is Shigaraki , same with the person that doesn’t stop laughing/smiling.

Which would make perfect sense to talk about Tomura because he is always smiling/ laughing, which can’t be said for AFO, the guy barely shows what is left of his face and none of them have any knowledge about AFO always laughing/smiling.

It would on the other hand make sense for AFO to have no hatred, but rather emptiness inside of him, but then the translation to laughing seems off. Wouldn’t it be rather something along the lines of laughing on the inside, thinking he is going to win no matter what (I lack the english word for what I mean right now.).

And Endevour isn’t asking a question here too, he is making a statement.

I can get behind differences like laughing/smiling or missing his soul/lack of heart, but there is a huge difference who they are talking about and Endevours statement/question about the person’s sould/heart.

This is really, really  good on a psychological take.

It is extremly common for abuse victims to:

1. still love their abusers, especially if they are blood related. Because of social expectencies children are often told to love their parents no matter what and they pick up on that, so even abused children often have love for their parents, that in no way deserve it. Besides the biological basis that babies need other humans or they die, and then bond to these humans. And little moments that give them hope that their parents love them back, tends to solitify that. And those little moments together with the abusive upbringing also leads to the believe that the abuse is justified (of course it’s not) and sometimes that can lead to overlap with the way they view other abuse victims. So Enji abusing Toya through training, still gave Toya feelings of love, because he interpreted that as love from his father, and wanted more of that training and repectively more love from him.

Wheras Fuyumi and Natuso don’t seem to realize they were abused as well, because they were mostly “just neglected”, unlike their brothers. Shoto only speaks about what Enji did to Rei, not himself either.

Dabi is the only sibling who outright told their father that he is to blame for the abuse their family suffered, no one else.

Big difference between Hakws and Best Jeanist, who are looking elsewhere for the culprit. And Enji trying to shift the blame onto his own abuse victims.

Keigo on the other probably interepreted the Endevour doll as a sign of love from his mother, leading to his idelazation for Endevour, without ever knowing him.

2. go back to similar abusers. You brain has a tendecy to go back to what it knows, even if that is a bad thing and that is extremly hard to overcome. And children who were abused have a high tendecy to not realize that they were abused (Fuymi, Natuso, Shoto are all examples of that) until they are adults, somtimes even way later in live. Mind you Keigo is only 23 and he has been in an unhealthy enviroment since he was born, he just swapped his parents for the hero commission.

Wich Endevour it is of course different. Because Hawks new Endevour the pro hero, but not Enji the father. So his idolization came as a child, meaning Hawks saw Endevour as you said: as am idol father figure, a hero come to rescue, but not the real person behind that idol.

And now that he hears about the real Enji two things happen: first of all, the human brain does not like contridicting information and Enji being a horrible abusive parent for over 20 years is extremly against the picture Hawks has of him. And second: this is as you said something Hawks probably wanted from his father: a change, to become a good parent and have the happy family he wanted.So he jumps to devend Enji as a person. Even though as a parent both Enji and Hawk’s father were horrible and neither of their sons was at fault for this.

I'm going to say a thing that can be seemed... a bit (read: very) controversial by some people. But. Do you think... that maybe. Just perhaps. Keigo, somewhere deep inside, hoped that his own abusive father will 'change'? (I mean, he clearly has some weird views concerning his parents, just remember how he apologised to his mother, even though she absolutely did NOT deserve any apologies) But, well, he didn't. And later he was caught by Endeavor, whom Keigo began to look up to and eventually came to see him as a father figure of sorts. But... now that he knows that Endeavor was also an abusive father himself, but who has 'changed', do you think that maybe that's why Hawks now supports him even more and refuses to critique him? Because now he's literally a dream-version of his own father? Or am I reaching too much into it? upd.: This also might be the reason he doubts Dabi's words so hard and can't see that 'the reason for Dabi's hatred' is standing right next to him. I feel like Hawks believes to some extent that it was his own fault his parents abused him (he's wrong, of course) and he was just a bad son, so admitting that Dabi's creation was entirely Endeavor's fault would mean for Hawks to accept that no, his parents didn't abused and neglected him because he did something wrong and deserved it, they abused and neglected him just because they were pieces of shit and he shouldn't be excusing them.
