woah this character is so cool i wish they were covered in blood their whole body trembling with a look of absolute horror on their face as theyre struggling to breathe in panic

Friends lift each other up!! In this case physically as well as emotionally!~

he knows overhaul he knows

talking it out

i cant find the post talking about the league character designs anymore but they should have really kept the pink bandana twice got from toga during the overhaul arc as a permanent part of his character design

like aside from slightly better communicating "oh yeah, this suit is Literally the thing holding this guy together" it also looks really heckin cute

dad might and smol son

This boy really needs to learn how to chill.

so few people understand the art of the pseudo nap

i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.

I’m calling some BS

80% of the population has a known quirk.

So, logically, 20% either are quirkless or have quirks that are hard to discover, right?

Clearly wrong, as far as literally everything the anime (not sure about the manga) has shown us.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, Midoriya may have been the only member of his class without a quirk, but not his whole grade. There’s more than 80 students in a grade in any given city.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, there would’ve been various interest and support groups. Mrs. Midoriya could have joined a “quirk parents of quirkless children group,” and Izuku would’ve had lots of friends, perhaps more than Bakugo.

People of similar sub cultures/disabilities/interests/minorities find each other!

In elementary school, I was the only kid who’d ever heard of my father’s religion. At the school, at least. Frequently, almost every week, I would go spend time with other kids in my age group that were being raised by parents of that religion. We were less than .05% of the local population, religion wise. I still had like 20 kids with in two years on either side of my age.

Midoriya would have more. I’d be willing to lay money on there being a kid born on the same day as him, maybe in the same hospital, who was quirkless and lived in a reasonable distance to hang out frequently, if this were a real situation.

20% of a population does not just completely isolate themselves. Especially not from others with similarities that make them the minority.

Or to put this another way, 80% of the population has a quirk. 1 in every 5 people would not.

And let’s not even get into people connecting over the internet.

This has been a plot hole rant, there may be more in the future, thanks for reading! (Feel free to add on, or, argue, I guess, if you can find a way to argue that doesn’t boil down to ‘dramatic back story’ or ‘plot convenience’)
