All It Takes Is/ It Was Not Just

All it takes is/ It was not just

One Bad Day

Bonus: Spinner’s just another day.

@owlsinathens (not sure if you know them, but NSP is a ton of fun in general)

house Greyjoy entering the War of The Five Kings like:

-harms everyone

-manages to make a gigantic mess

-terrifying

-does pretty much nothing according to the rest of Westeros

.manages to do the most damage to it’s own kingdom

First of all: thank you.

Second: the translation is so wobbly to make the timeline clear at it. Which might be intentional to keep the mystery up, because what Fuyumi says is:

“It happend right around the time mother was admitted to the hospital.”

“Right around” is probably not the best translation for the japanese version (which I sadly can’t find any raw scans of) because time is expressed so differently from english grammer.

And even in english it could technically refear to a point before the hospitalisation, it’s not not how it would be commonly said in english.

So I’d still go with: the translation is the issue here, but thank you very much for answering.

Quick question, could you reference the "when Toya died" chapter difference? I remember well the recent chapters, when Rei said after Toya's death her mental heath became worse, but I can't remember the first time the timeline of Toya's death was mentioned. Do you have a chapter reference? I always thought it might have been a translational issue because of the fan translation/real translation difference, but I'd like to re-read myself.

If I recall, the first time he was confirmed to be dead as far as anyone knew was 249, when we first saw his shrine. Before that, the fandom was generally assuming he had run away.

We get more details in 250, where it’s mentioned that Natsuo blames Endeavor for Touya’s death & believes he killed him, and that it worsened Rei’s mental state in the hospital.

And then it was of course chapter 290 when we learned he was not dead and instead had become Dabi.

*sees character with a face scar and parenal issue*

uhhh, another one for the collection!

hear me out: donna beneviento but instead of a cadou scar, she has prince zuko's burn scar

I really like her Cadou scar though! It’s really cool ✨

It has been one intro, one the song that originally was about Deku and Shigaraki and not Endevour and Hawks and one outro later and my hope is going downhill.

So I don’t actually watch mha academia anymore and only read the manga, BUT of course since my villain academia is coming up I found a ton of content on my dash.

Of course as usually Bones seems to be doing very strange things with the adaptation.

But maybe just maybe they try to make a subverting expectations in a good way thing.

As in they now show Tomura being super destructive, having this “the obvioulsy totally evil and nothing else villain steps on the pretty flower” moment while we saw absolulty nothing of Spinner in the latest DVD art.

Maybe they try to build up on the perseption of the pro hero perspective: those guys are just evil and nothing else. And then when my villain academia does happen it catches those who haven’t yet noticed how human the league are by surprise.

Then again this is a total moment of hope that someone thought things a bit better through and nothing more.

I present to you the amazing fanfiction that is phantom pains by ellipsesificate also known as @robotlesbianjavert​ here on tumblr. It’s ony of the best stories I ever read and I will headcanon this as Spinner’s background story until we get an actual background story.

I adore seeing fanart or headcanons of Spinner having a tail, cuz it’s cool and handsome 🦎👌🏼

But I wonder if anyone else has thought of a maybe possibility that Spinner did have a tail once, but it was amputated for whatever reason, possibly related to the heteromorphic discrimination he faced in his hometown?

It’s not even a theory that I have, because there’s absolutely no evidence in the manga, but I wonder! Cuz like.

(warning for discussion of bullying and harm)

Spinner has the appearance and quirk of a gecko - all except the tail? When the pop knowledge of geckos regrowing their tail is like common knowledge, the cute 'did ya kno' fact everyone has brought up or hear at least once in their life?

Then consider, what bullying would be so bad that he shuts himself in his room for years? That the only thing to motivate him from that dark ditch is the chance to uproot of all of society? That he had enough of something raw and intense in his heart that he was willing to join a group of murderous and terrifying Villains?

That Spinner had believed in Stain's message of true Heroes maybe because the Heroes in his village did shit nothing, if it turns out that once upon a time, Iguchi Shuuichi had a tail, but it was cut off through some circumstances either directly (most obvious scenario would be bullies cutting his tail off to see if he’ll grow it back) or indirectly by the people in his village?

It might be too dark and extreme for the manga - child being mutilated by bullies - and like, if this is true than honestly I think Spinner would be justified in helping to destroy the world, 100% society deserves it and he should have fun. Still, this is an idea I’ve tossed around with friends and fellow Spinner fans cuz it’s a very plausible and easy conclusion to draw from the facts of his quirk, his past, CRC-level heteromorph discrimination that we know exist, and his desire for Shigaraki’s empty horizon.
