You Have Been Visited By The Money Cat He Only Appears Once Every July 22nd

You have been visited by the money cat He only appears once every July 22nd

This guardian of the money ether may give you some of his hard earned riches. You reblog, He decides.

No I agree that it would be weird if they got it right away, but with 3 chapters left I doubt we'll see a society get anything. Right now it's very much: they go back and do the same thing again.

And that is actually said in chapter 427. And the proposed solution was: more heroes, the main reason we have the problem.

It's currently every chapter another moment of: this is a neverending cycle and we learn nothing and no matter how hard you fight for things to change, no matter how much you try to do the right thing, you'll never succeed.

Deku saying he won't kill Shigaraki, to kill him.

Shigaraki telling Deku sarcstically that he belives in him (which he doesn't) Hawks a man who actually could literally backstab a man he called a good person, while said man was running away from him getting not only out free of charge, but becoming head of the organization that hired a child as a killer out of school.

The news telling us Shigaraki is a monster, only Spinner saying otherwise.

Tsukauchi saying it will all repeat again and only saying maybe more heroes will fix it.

It's not giving optimistic, it's giving: we're doomed.

I will say I generally like that Midoriya isn't denying that he killed Shigaraki, it really seemed like it in the previous chapters.

That being said: bnha is a tragedy and nothing will ever change in society is not the ending I was expecting, let alone hoping for.

Especially since the framing, artwork, conversations, translation and fan-response seems to be really ignoring it.

And that is while bhha 427 literally sais that things won't change.

That's just sad.

I'll never get over this:

When Kermit Tully pointed out that Storm’s End, Oldtown, and Casterly Rock were as strong as Stark’s own Winterfell (if not stronger) and would not fall easily (if at all), and young Ben Blackwood echoed him and said, “Half your men will die, Lord Stark,” the grey-eyed Wolf of Winterfell replied,

“They died the day we marched, boy.” Like the Winter Wolves before them, most of the men who had marched south with Lord Cregan Stark did not expect to see their homes again. The snows were already deep beyond the Neck, the cold winds rising; in keeps and castles and humble villages throughout the North, the great and small alike prayed to their carved wooden god trees that this winter might be short. Those with fewer mouths to feed fared better in the dark days, so it had long been the custom in theNorth for old men, younger sons, the unwed, the childless, the homeless, and the hopeless to leave hearth and home when the first snows fell, so that their kin might live to see another spring.

[...]

“Are you babes in swaddling clothes, to be cozened by flowers and feasts and soft words?” Stark berated them.

"Who told you the war was done? The Clubfoot? The Snake? Why, because they wish it done? Because you won your little victory in the mud? Wars end when the defeated bend the knee and not before."

Cregan shows up two years after the war has started, staying home because he told Rhaenyra he had to make preparations for winter so that people wouldn't starve and has the audacity to tell the lads that more war and bloodshed is needed, when not only did they participate in far more war and bloodshed than Cregan did his entire live but also had their homeland burned to the grounds by Vhagar.

The Riverlands are fucked for years because Aemond and Vhagar were burning the Riverlands for months while Cregan was in the North -being able to actually grow and harvest food.

The Riverlands lost thousands, which the lads were there for fighting among them -including all of the Winter Wolves and Cregan complains that not more people are dead.

The Riverlands are so screwed out of people Black Aly get Cregan to leave his men in the Riverlands because they need them.

Cregan says a ton of true things when coming south, but he was a cunt for that one.

Spinner, writing

---

The first time Spinner picks up the pen, his hand becomes too heavy the moment he sets it down on the surface of the table. The white of the paper in front of him blurs and blurs with the surroundings until he has to shut his eyes to clear his vision. In his mind, he immediately sees Shigaraki.

The pen snaps in his grip.

The doctors have to sedate him.

-

The second time Spinner picks up the pen, he tries to write Shigaraki's name. When he can't, he instead writes 'League of Villains.'

Now what?

"The League of Villains was..."

Was...

—the only place he felt he could belong.

Spinner's own words. He said them, once. He said them, to—Toga, who was about to run off, to find one of those Hero trainees. Because—Twice had died, Twice had been killed by Hawks, the second of them to die, after Magne, and—

Spinner throws the pen away. He drags himself over to his bed and buries his head in his pillow, biting hard into the cloth and cotton. He keeps perfectly silent, even as his eyes and heart and everything else that is him screams.

-

Some days, he resents Shigaraki. For not coming back for him, them, the League. For failing to beat that stupid fucking kid. For telling that kid to give Spinner those last words. Without them, Spinner could've stayed empty.

But Shigaraki's words are inside of him now, and Spinner cannot throw them away. They roll through his mind, always, day and night, echoing in that low, raspy voice of Shigaraki's, and though they always end up making wrong turns, crashing into the walls Spinner has tried put up to keep himself upright and moving, Spinner lets them stay. They are agony, and they destroy him. They are so very much Shigaraki's, and there is nothing Spinner treasures more.

-

He hits a stride when he decides to write as if he's writing letters.

-

Shigaraki—

I got your message.

-

Shigaraki—

Kinda mean of you to not say anything to Mister, or Dabi, or Toga. They'd be so disappointed.

-

Shigaraki—

The food here is terrible. Remember when you won us sushi? And yakiniku? I never had anything so expensive in my life. It was thanks to you.

-

Shigaraki—

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't do anything when All For One said you were you, but I knew you weren't, not completely. I'm sorry I didn't try to get answers, and just listened to whatever he said. I'm sorry I didn't help you, I'm sorry I just let you scream you were in pain and it was so obvious so obvious that something was wrong and I didn't help. I should've questioned him more I should've demanded he stop whatever he was doing to you I should've

you were hurting you took that surgery for our sake I said I was acting for your sake too but I wasn't I should've helped you for real. You were our leader you saved us you saved me and I should've saved you too.

Sorry sorry I'm so sorry.

I can't ever make it up to you and I'm sorry.

-

The worst part, Spinner realizes, is that Shigaraki would forgive him.

Confrontation

(Trying to) Reply

His past and who inspired him

Since finding out that we have 4 chapters to go -yeah this isn't going to conclude shit.

And don't get me started on Hawks (the guy with zero actual remorse about literally backstabbing Jin- which everyone saw in video) being head of the "we hired children out of school to become killers" society.

I know there's more bnha, but it simply doesn't undo Midoriya saying over and over again that he won't kill Shigaraki and him then killing Shigaraki. If he wouldn't have gotten the title greatest hero for it and it was framed like a tragedy that would be doable, but it's not. You can tell it's not because there are people seeing this as something positiv in both fandom and in-universe.

I don't even take too much issue with Midoriya not understanding Shigaraki, he focused on Tenko, but that is a realistic learning step for him, so him not getting why he was still Shigaraki in the end and not Tenko is understandable, even if it's very slow and Uraraka got that way faser than him.

Maybe there is hope, maybe the manga will deal with this, but the handling so far sucks. The solution to: "I want to save him" never came despite it being brought up repeatedly, Midoriya shoudln't be as ok with this as he was afterwards.

I get that with so much one has to deal with stuff like that is never linear, but he killed someone, that should be big, not AllMight already finiding excuses. We don't need another Hawks.

It's just frustrating and it shoudln't be. Tragedies are fine and enjoyable, hero stories are too, but this story that from the beginning had a bright young kid who wanted to do the right thing fail so extremly to only sweep it under the rug right away feels wrong.
