Still Dont Get Why Geto Called Maki A Monkey When Shes A Trained Sorcerer? Like At The Time He Met Her,

Still don’t get why Geto called Maki a “monkey” when she’s a trained sorcerer?💀 like at the time he met her, she is able to conserve her cursed energy and avoid creating curses; to me Maki seems like the perfect solution to his dilemma. Geto’s whole principles were built on such a faulty notion cause Toji as well (Toji aka the og monkey in Geto’s eyes) probably doesn’t have the ability to release cursed spirits as well because Toji didn’t even have cursed energy?

I find it frankly hilarious how Geto reached the conclusion that cursed spirits and humans are the main source of his misery, instead of like idk listening to Yuki and understanding that the problem is cursed energy something that is common between Humans and Sorcerers alike (with the exception of Maki and Toji) and something that was revealed to be more of an issue within Japan rather than other countries so there’s literally a world out there that functions without cursed energy and sorcerers just fine but somehow he just ignored that?

Also Riko’s death was the first crack in his sanity but Riko was only a vessel? She didn’t have a cursed technique nor was she considered a sorcerer?!??? And we know he cared about Riko?!?? But if he were to follow his own future ideals, he would have to kill Riko too cause she’s a human? By his standards, that again make zero sense, Riko should die to create his perfect world of sorcerers only💀

Like it’s actually so absurd how he ended up hating humans instead of sorcerers? Like it would make more sense if he had ended up defecting on the side against sorcerers and accused them saying some righteous bullshit like “our techniques are a double edged sword! We should get rid of cursed energy to rid ourselves of this taint” or something like that?

Like I swear to god it makes a lot more sense for him to have joined Yuki in her travels than whatever the fuck he did? It feels like such a plot hole because throughout the past arc he mostly struggled because of the jujutsu world not humans? The only ones who actually suffered because of humans were Mimiko and Nanako; like not even Riko because Riko’s whole problem was because of the bounty on her head and it even got to a point where Geto had to fight other sorcerers (curse users) to protect Riko? EVEN HAIBARA?!??? Haibara died in a mission assigned to him that probably (if I remember correctly) wasn’t in his grade level therefore he died.

So when do we see his struggle because of cursed spirits? Because of the thing he apparently viewed to be so damning since the beginning? Like even taking into account the religious group that follows Tengen, Tengen should’ve exterminated them or asked the higherups to do so since they apparently were too much of a threat but they let that cult do whatever? So literally every single problem Geto faces is because of cursed energy, sorcerers, and the jujutsu society?

And I UNDERSTAND that his plan to kill non sorcerers wasn’t preplanned and just spawned into his mind when he lost his shit on the village people and I guess his pride AND helplessness forced him to go through with what he did so he could find a reason for his existential crisis but it was ultimately meaningless? Like I understand that to a certain degree his hatred towards humans was caused by various traumatizing events (Gojo “dying” from Toji(human), Riko (vessel) dying and the human cult clapping for her death, Haibara dying during a mission, Miminana suffering at the village) but those events were so different from each other and their outcomes were caused by very distinct causes that having him bitch and whine about humans releasing cursed spirits just plainly doesn’t make sense? It makes even less sense when you realize even he said that killing humans was meaningless (when he told Gojo not to kill the cult) so having him justify the killing because humans have no control over cursed energy (MAY I SAY AGAIN AN ISSUE THAT I DONT REALLY THINK BRO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ARC?!?) is just laughable?!?????

Idk where I am going with this but it would’ve been more reasonable to have had Yuki say “Gojo’s technique is the cause of the rising strength in curses” OR “Did you know that cursed energy is the fuel for curses and Jujutsu techniques are just a catalyst for their growth?” (Which is fucking true by the way and the proof is that the culling games needs participating SORCERERS because their techniques amplify cursed energy or at least that’s what Kenjaku said) And then have Geto go through the epiphany of understanding that the deaths he faced in his youth are tightly knit with the way the jujutsu society functions rather than fucking humans and cursed spirits (which again they were never really that fucking relevant to his struggles that we saw?). Then have him defect and fight Gojo because Gojo’s existence is a paradox because he believed jujutsu exists to protect non jujutsu users but Gojo’s mere existence and infinite cursed energy makes that harder so what’s the point of it all and what’s the point of techniques if they’re just fuel to the water and the sorcerers end up dying anyways? Then have Geto still go down a dark path but the difference is that he attacks the school to kill Yuta because Yuta carries too much cursed energy with him from Rika and have Gojo kill him all the same except now I think Geto’s character wouldn’t be so contradictory for no reason?

I don’t know if Gege intended to make Geto that meaningless to stress on how much of a lost cause he is and how having a strong moral compass in a society so rotten to it’s core can make you lose your shit or if the plot line really is that mess of contradictions but I wanted to voice my thoughts 😭

Are the ATLA comics mostly a flaming refuse pile of bad characterization, canon contradictions, and terrible storylines? Yup.

But if you’re looking for a silver lining, no matter how thin, may I introduce you to two pages’ worth of priceless Ty Lee expressions:

And my personal favorite…

What is your thought on Bakugou redemption arc,do you think it's good,or it's bad writting in some aspects?

Thanks for the question, @birekuden.

There are just to many things to say but anyway, lets start. I will talk about why i dont like the way story portrayed Bakugou in another post, here, i will talk about Deku and Bakugou’s relationship.

Bnha is a story about abuse. In hero society, there is a system that support abuse & violence and many people are victim of this system. Narrative also shows how much wrong it is.

Bakugou is also abuse victim and victim of system, just  like others. Yeah, maybe his mother loves him but still, the way her mother treats him is abuse.

Also the way society treats Bakugou is the reason Bakugou is like this. Bakugou has very toxic mind, it hurts both himself and others.

Azula, Iroh, Zuko, Imperial Japan, Teenage Soldiers, and Coming to Terms with Failed Ideologies.

Below is the summary of the journal of a teenage Japanese Navy sailor who came home after World War II to face defeat and irresponsibility. It has obvious implications for the postwar path of Azula and other child soldiers like her, and for the Fire Nation more generally.  It also has huge implications for how people might respond to Zuko and particularly Iroh’s behavior, might respond to their refusal to accept responsibility.

Could you tell me what you think of the way the creators have instilled Rick and Morty relationship thoughout the show ? I've noticed that you're pretty good at explaining things so I was wondering if you wanted to showcase the "proofs" of their relationship. Anyway I love your fanfic "fire consumes fire" and I'm reading it right now, it's great !

For sure! Have fun with Fire Consumes Fire, it's my baby <3

I'll analyse season one for now and point out the creative choices and underlying themes as my proof! Let me know if you want to see more seasons though :)

An important thing to remember is that things like grooming and sexual abuse are not just about touching someone or being touched. Things like exposing a child to/forcing a child to watch a sexual act, speaking to a child in a sexually explicit way, and undressing yourself or them (typically older than the age they'll need to be bathed for that one) all count as aspects and types of sexual abuse.

Now some people might think that's less important because Morty is fourteen and at that age where male sexuality is a little more domineering but, canonically, Rick has been in Morty's life since he was twelve at most, possibly younger.

(Rick celebrating Morty's 13th birthday: Mindblowers)

There's a lot of time missing, and if we're assuming that Rick's attitude has remained consistent, then it means this has been a common theme since Morty was prepubescent.

The first episode is relatively tame, but it plays an important role in establishing the family hierarchy, and does a lot with the ever infamous megaseeds. There have been a lot of fanfictions about the seeds and for good reason - though not overtly sexual in nature, it establishes a certain level of control over Morty. Morty lacks bodily autonomy and the ability to tell Rick no. He does what Rick says, even if it means sacrificing his own body, and it is the first step the creators took in creating a warped dynamic between them. It sets the stage for further abuse of power by Rick, which is important to make the future episodes realistic and true to character consistently. Somewhat separately, throughout the show you'll see me note instances where you can see the show easing us into sexually explicit interactions between the two - we are desensitised to Morty's blatant sexuality before we're introduced to Rick's, which is really interesting considering who they are. The difference is that they need to put in more work to make Morty someone viewed through a sexual lens in an effort to get us used to him and how we'll see him portrayed in the future. Then they introduce Rick's sexuality, and even later how their sexualities interact with each other.

This next episode draws directly on the assumptions we make based on the first episode about sexuality, and expands even further. When incepting Morty's math teacher, we now see a focus on Rick's sexuality - he involves himself in bondage in a sex dungeon in front of Morty, and encourages Morty to participate. This time we see Morty deny him, clearly not comfortable with it despite being intrigued. Something really interesting is Summer in this episode: while some may not think it's important in relation to Rick and Morty's relationship, her trying to sleep with them establishes the first theme of incest we see in the show and sets a playing field: the creators are saying it's their show and they can make who they want to be sexual to who they want.

Something else I think is important in season one is that after heavily sexual episodes, we get a break where the following episodes are family based. That's why we're skipping anatomy park for now, to go into episode four: the episode where Rick undresses himself, forces Morty to undress, steals his clothes and makes him walk around naked. Sure, his intentions aren't outwardly nefarious - there is reasonable evidence that Rick knew Morty was a simulation for a decent while, but I'll focus on if he didn't for now - but that doesn't make it less important to the development of abuse structures. Morty is incapable of telling Rick no when Rick puts his mind to doing something: the surrender of autonomy to Rick is really important for creating an abusive cycle. What if Rick had been lying? How would Morty have known? What could he have done? Morty gives in without really knowing what he's giving into.

Meeseeks and Destroy, in my opinion, is one of the most important episodes in determining abuse. Something I like to think about, is the central figure of Morty's life. Rick, right? When Morty chooses his own adventure, it's akin to him trying to reclaim his autonomy and trying to exert his influence. He tries to become his own central figure, and in doing so he meets Mr Jellybean. Two things happen as a result: Morty associates being in control of himself with getting assaulted, and we see a demonised version of Rick in Mr Jellybean. Hear me out! Mr Jellybean is the replacement of Rick in this episode as a figure that shoves Morty around, makes him uncomfortable, makes him do things he doesn't want to do, but with a sexual twist. Mr Jellybean's temper when he doesn't get what he wants and the sudden calm when he does, is eerily reflective of blackout drunk Rick.

We get a mix of a family episode and a sexually explicit episode here so I won't go into too much detail - but the distinct separation of Rick and Morty from the rest of their family when they leave creates a dynamic where Morty can rely on Rick as the only constant. It separates him from the rest of his family and the rest of the world in a lot of ways, which heavily contributes to his mindset.

The next episode is one where the creator definitely try and push a distrust by the family in regards to Rick and Morty's relationship. Rick lets Morty buy a sex bot while they're out named Gwendolyn - Morty adapts quickly and happily to his more sexually active lifestyle until he asks Rick to come upstairs. Beth says then: "Okay, now if we hear squeaking, we intervene." Rick is attempting to fix Gwendolyn and jumps on the bed, which prompts the entire family to come to Morty's room to stop whatever it is that is happening. Like I've mentioned previously, they follow really explicit episodes with family stuff - this episode somewhat follows that by splitting it in half: half is explicit and the rest has Rick and Morty separated while we take in the new information given to us. Beth thought Rick would have sex with Gwendolyn, possibly in a threesome or something - if the character believes it, then the creators wants us to believe it too.

The next two episodes are family orientated, where we focus less on Rick and Morty and more specific members of their family, we're introduced to a flipped dynamic via Evil Morty and his Rick. Morty ponders his own worth as Rick devalues his existence and treats him like one would an object which is another aspect of abuse that gets referenced in the future. My interest for now lies in the use of Mortys and how they're viewed by Ricks. Evil Morty perpetuates that and attempts to go about it in a Rick-esque way. Which, of course, means tying naked teenagers to the outside of a building - there isn't a need for them to be naked, but Evil Morty does that in order to push the idea of it being something a Rick would cook up while also turning on himself. The idea that there are good Ricks, bad Ricks and worse Ricks makes for an interesting idea that begs the question: if the Rick next to C-137 on the scale is believed to be capable of doing that to hundreds of Mortys, then what is our Rick capable of?

The last episode is undeniably tame by comparison and is another family orientated episode to make up for the last one. It is undeniable that a lot of work has been put into making Rick and and Morty's dynamic reflect that of sexual abuse and grooming, a theme that grows more apparent with every new season.
