throw your garbage away yourself, shigaraki tomura
BNHA au where Inko is a social worker and adopts Tomura Shigaraki before Izuku is born so Tomura ends up being Izuku’s super protective and slightly unstable big brother
tbh horikoshi failed so phenomenally writing the league of villains, because hell no, i don't want to see these lil guys be thrown into prison or die a horrible death, i want them to be happy and okay and be able to live their life to the fullest
u ever think abt how bnha has two characters who have been confirmed, canonly, to hurt children for their causes, and since one is a hero he gets to have a redemption arc but because the other is a villain, he has his arms mercilessly torn off and his whole life’s work stolen. i mean he deserves it lmao but it’s wildly a double standard in a rly meta way. like, sure, you could say the message is that “one is inherently a good person, thus he chooses to redeem himself, and that’s what makes him deserving of being a hero,” but that ultimately cannot be separated from the fact that he was introduced first and foremost as (1) a hero, and (2) a domestic abuser, and we can’t pretend that there is no personal code of ethics associated with being a hero in bnha that isn’t imposed by its own author. essentially what i’m saying is that there is a good moral judgment placed on being a hero and a bad moral judgment placed on being a villain by the narrative itself, and we can’t ignore that it influences the way these two stories are written. because heroes are good and there’s moral goodness associated with heroism, all faults of heroes no matter how heinous must be shown as worthy of redemption, because they deserve it by being heroes. it’s not because of who he is as a person that the narrative decides to give him this chance, it’s because of what his job is. villains, on the other hand, are forever tainted by their villainy and are not worthy of second chances, they should be immediately and soundly punished. and u kno what that just sounds super real for a sec🤔🤔
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.
and you thought he couldnt get edgier, well have i got news for you
his internship with hawks really did him in because now hes birdier than ever. hence, feathers
instead of running around in a black bed sheet, he’s got a foldable cloak that can be unfurled to become a shadow-poncho, then re-furled with the pull of a drawstring. this allows him to not be bogged down by all that fabric unless dark shadow is vulnerable
armor along his forearms, cause everyone needs a lil armor. would also be useful for close combat techniques like shadow ankh

This sequence of panels reads like a daytime tv drama.
Inasa (glaring dramatically): I'll despise you to the end of days. You have the cold eyes of your father.
Shouto: (*404 error noises*)
Izuku (playing the role of Shouto's MPDG): Oh no Todoroki-kun do you want to talk about your feelings?
Toga (as Camie): Hey ~~
Izuku: (*terrified bluescreen noises*)
Ochako (in ten layers of denial): Am I jealous she was flirting with my hetero not-crush or because she reminds my girl not-crush?
i just think they're silly
