Okay!! While I totally agree that Dabi not being Touya would be an absolute asspull at this point, this message just got me thinking of the silliest situation… Like what if Dabi is NOT Touya, but somehow everyone in the cast, including Shouto, becomes convinced that he IS, and Team Deku is like “We’ll definitely save …

How could allurance have been better developed so it would have become the most supported ship in the show?
I’m feeling super energetic tonight so I’m going to go write after this, but here’s a summary of what I think should have been done to make this better:The AU where Allurance was better foreshadowed:Season 1) Keep Lance’s flirting and Allura rejecting him, but give a slight glimpse of Allura looking somewhat frustrated that Lance …
You said u wrote a twenty page essay regarding the mental illness in BNHA? Would u be willing to let others read? Also, would u consider Bakugou to be mentally ill in any way?
Hi, although it’s not all about mental illness in BNHA–more about marginalization of all minority groups and the discriminatory limits on who gets to be a hero in the BNHA world, and about Dabi, who is my favorite–the essay is here: http://echodrops.tumblr.com/post/180020040281/just-how-weak-is-dabi-or-lots-of-thoughts-onIn terms of Bakugou, he almost certainly has issues with mental health. If I …
“not eligible for redemption, courtesy of being mentally ill.” i don’t know if you meant for it to sound this way, but the way you phrased that made it sound an awful lot like you believe mentally ill people are incapable of being heroes or redeeming themselves, which is hella gross and ableist. please be more careful with your phrasing.
I literally just got done writing a twenty page essay on marginalization of mentally ill people in My Hero Academia and how the villainization of mentally ill people is a harmful stereotype that validates the goals of the League of Villains in this series and makes them both relatable and beloved by fans, as well …
Do you think any of the villains in bnha will or want them to get a redemption arc?
If I had to take a guess, I think we could possibly see some stuff like this:1) Spinner: If he doesn’t get killed by the villains in a disagreement over ideals, he’ll probably be fine by the end of the story. He’s already protected Midoriya once, and he might be the only one of the …

Thanks for answering my ask earlier, but I thinkyou misread it. I asked whether you knew any stories that MIXED two different genres, slice and life and adventure.
Did you get a chance to check out any of the things I suggested? They are all indeed “slice of life mixed with adventure,” at least by my personal definitions. I promise I didn’t misunderstand what you were asking for! In the post I was just mentioning slice of life specifically, saying that since I …
yo tumblr deleting blogs left and right is kinda making me nervous and i am only ever here just to read your meta essays. Would you happen to have a twitter or any other back up domain where we can still read your posts just in case, cos i honestly have a great time reading them :(
I don’t currently have this, but I was thinking that I wanted to save all my essays this morning because yeah, that is definitely worrisome. I’ll try to get everything downloaded and figure out some place to upload stuff on the side and let everyone know! Thanks for your concern (and I sure appreciate hearing …
BNHA, some thoughts on Toga after reading both your recent metas, the representation and female characters ones. Toga getting reduced to fetish fuel by fandom is pretty irritating. It really shortchanges her character, she’s interesting. Despite all the murder, she’s not written as a true psychopath/sociopath – her emotions are written as genuine, her empathy is written as being real. Her most depraved and her most empathetic moments both occur in the same arc, too (Overhaul’s Hideout).
I actually think we can make a pretty good case for Toga being the best written female character in all of Boku no Hero Academia.There are two other contenders–Inko and Nana–who could probably easily take the spot if not for their extenuating circumstances: Inko simply isn’t in the story enough to be a consistent source …
I stopped watching voltron a while ago but i still go back to reread HaaH regularly
Thank you very much!!!! *o*/ It means a lot to me to hear that people take the time not only to read the fic once but to come back to it again! I appreciate you taking the time to send me such a sweet message. In terms of the fic itself, now is probably a …

Texas, in a NutshellRecently my coworkers have been casting aspersions and suggesting that my house cannot possibly be plagued by as many invading creatures as I claim. In an effort to prove that I had actually been UNDER-exaggerating the extent of the wildlife crisis in and on my home, I started collecting photographic evidence of …
