When all of my blorbos are my own ocs so I can’t consume content about them unless I make it

me: haha oh god this is so bad im making so many unsupported claims and pulling all this analysis out of my ass

my prof in the margins: excellent analysis!

me: 

when i was in high school i used to write my papers thinking wow i’m just bullshitting all of this. then like a week before my senior year ended after all the grades were set, i was talking to my english teacher and told him you know i just bullshitted every paper i wrote. he told me that while i may have thought i was just pulling it all out of my ass, i genuinely knew what i was talking about and made well-supported analyses. i only thought i was bullshitting because it didn’t take much effort and it all seemed obvious to me. if you do well on your essays even though you think you’re just making it up as you go, chances are you’re not pulling it out of your ass. you’re just a genuinely talented analyst, even if the analysis that you’re making comes from a subconscious understanding of the material rather than a conscious effort to study it. give yourself some credit. 

anything you pull out of your ass had to get there somehow

Quirk counseling is a thing the story brings up but i doubt it’s an one-on-one intensive therapy dedicated to just an individual kid. The manga states that it’s a general thing all kids receive in elementary school:

and that it’s a class’ sole teacher’s responsibility towards the dozens of her students:

She acknowledges that counseling isn’t always enough - but it seems the solution is to hope some Hero trainees senpai can connect with the kids through play. Not exactly in-depth, 100% reliable psychotherapy.

Quirk counseling also seems to continue into middle school, and there’s even some basic quirk training, as seen in Tamaki’s flashbacks.

But note that the students are taught to consider their quirks as being something to be ‘useful to society’. That is a good concept; but unfortunately that also implies negative things about quirks that aren’t useful.

Also note that the students aren’t getting individualized attention specific to their quirk. It’s like any other gym class: the kids aren’t getting a personal trainer, they’re just given generalized testing. A student who does have trouble with their quirk - like Togata above - is simply told to ‘stop messing around’ and ‘you’re clumsy at control’. That’s not help or solution; that’s just a teacher making a (flawed, biased) observation - maybe even a judgmental grade - before moving on to the next student.

As Curious said, quirk counseling is just another school program designed to assimilate children into societal norms and standards. It’s not there to teach acceptance or specific control.

She says it “ends up emphasizing the inherent differences between us all,” and it tracks. If you fit the standard, good for you. If you don’t fit the standards, maybe it’s because you’re messing around, you’re clumsy, you’re not trying hard enough. For someone who really does struggle with their quirk, whether because it’s a matter of biological compulsion or not coming naturally or needing more intense focus or whatever, quirk counseling might very well tell them they’re abnormal - and without any help offered.

Features of conversation, facial expressions and body language AFO-Shigaraki

By examining some of the points in chapter 295, which left a lot of questions behind it, I was able to find something interesting. Namely - from the point of view of the DFO.

Therefore, we put on foil hats and watch!

As I wrote earlier, Afo repeated his words to Midoriya Izuku twice, "let's meet again - 「また会おう」 (mata a ou)" This is highly atypical for such an arch-villain character. He never repeated his words to anyone in the plot. So I dug into psychology and found the answer to my question.

In speech, repetition is undoubtedly used to convey emotional information. The phenomenon of repetition takes place at all language levels: at the phonetic level - repetition of sounds or combinations; at the morphological level, the repetition of morphemes; at the lexical level - repetition of words; at the semantic level - repetition of values; at the syntactic level, the repetition of phrases and sentences. The phenomenon of repetition in speech is used to convey emotional information. The location of the initial phrase and repeat plays a huge role in this. That is, the Beginning or the End. Plus, the very phenomenon of repeating a phrase - speaks of its significance and immediate interest.

Afo ended his conversation with Izuku by repeating "Let's meet again."

This conveys his emotion, because in his speech there were neither exclamations nor mockery, but only regret: "This body needs to be refined, so let's meet later." There is a real regret here that they don't have time to talk.

If judge so, then no matter how Afo does not follow his speech, he still unintentionally makes stupid mistakes. In Chapter 287, he too loudly ignored First's question about Izuku, immediately shifting the topic of conversation to the other side. In chapter 116, Afo ignored the words of All Might about Izuku's fate, without answering anything (but at the end of chapter 115, he remembered that the second semester had now begun at the Academy).

Changing the topic of conversation and openly ignoring the question - this further shows the emotional interest of a person in the object of the question.

Next there will be several interesting points, one of which drew attention to @marunalu . Thank you for your keen eye! This helped me see something else interesting.

1.

The shaking of the hand, the bleeding stigma is a clear containment of the power of the quirk, which caused the trauma due to the forced restriction. + Afo-Shigaraki's hand is turned to the side. Not directly at Izuku. Someone definitely didn't want to hurt the boy even more.

2.

This frame is very strange. The face is completely covered, expressions cannot be read. But. Izuku immediately exclaimed, "Shi...garaki...!!" - if this is really Afo's real last name, then it could awaken something in him. Or it just reminded, for example, a brother, who may have tried to stop him one day, and Afo himself threw him away just like Izuku.

3.

Notice the hand hanging in the air and relaxed. And on the skewed shoulders. The general expression can be interpreted as uncertainty and indecision; Afo doesn't know if he made the right decision or not.

4.

And this is a very interesting point. An expression of humility and a certain sadness is read here. There are relaxed eyelids and eyebrows. And there is a tilt of the head slightly downward. We weren't shown his mouth, so we don't know if Afo is smiling or not. However, all this already says a lot.

5.

And all this time Afo looks at Izuku, and he continues to look after him until the last, while the image of the child can be seen. Although he could turn away, and this would show his disinterest in a boy, as if "tough guys are not looking at the explosion." But no! He looks! He sees!

Conclusion:

1) Afo does not want to harm the child even more.

2) Afo may be catching flashbacks with his brother.

3) Afo is not sure and indecisive in his actions. He doesn't know what to do at this moment, because he probably didn't think that this would happen. Or he thought, but hoped that everything would not come to this. There is obvious confusion here.

4) He is sad. He is in despondency and humility that everything happened this way. It can be seen that he did not want to lead to this. And he probably didn't want the boy here at all. Regret. He looks after him.

5) Words spoken in chapter 295. I am more than sure that they will sound thoughtful, quiet and ... even a little gentle, warm, despite the insult "worthless". As a "pathetic brother", yes.

6) In the battle "Afo-Shiga vs Izuku"(chapter 285) - he was trying to capture him, tie, catch the boy. And he definitely saw and heard the rushing Bakugou - he hardly lost all the experience of past battles. At the last moment, he pierced him, knowing and understanding that such a sacrifice Izuku would definitely appreciate and go mad, which means he would make a mistake. But with other kids like Nejire and Shouto - he didn't stand on ceremony. He didn’t stand on ceremony, but he didn’t do anything special either, he mostly avoided. Like midges. And there Machia came running, giving him a break.

Putting it all together, we can definitely see that no matter how Afo tries to hide his interest in the boy, he still makes mistakes. He is hesitant to make a decision regarding Izuku. He tries not to talk about him. Only in this chapter 295 did he allow himself to enter into dialogue with him, directly addressing Midoriya Izuku. And it will definitely have consequences.

The way bnha is making dabi out to be some crazy brother-killing lunatic as if he isn’t completely right about endeavor. Is the narrative REALLY trying to ignore what endeavor has done and say “well it’s okay because dabi is worse”??? Bnha is ruining dabi and shouto. Post reveal touya is so out of character just for the sake of making him crazy and evil and “wrong”. And horikoshi is shoving Shouto into the role of ”the ideal victim” ie. a victim who plays nice and shuts up and forgives. And I’m so angry for both of them and all the abuse survivors reading this crap because it is so so dirty

OH NO YOU DON'T

I know that "Endeavor stan= bad person" logic

i'm Acker, insult me, talk crap about me but i'm just gonna say it here out and loud:

I LOVE ENJI'S CHARACTER because of his flaws, because he went from being a total piece of trash to a man that is triying to redeem himslef, he recognized his bad actions, and tries to become a better person no matter what, if he's forgiven or not and that.....THAT IS SOMETHING ADMIRABLE

I can relate to him to a spiritual level

ENJI TODOROKI IS A GOOD MAN WHO TOOK THE WRONG CHOICES

In conclussion i'm a proud Endeavor Stan

let’s talk unreliability real quick: bnha 291

so in light of recent bnha events, i wanted to write up a real quick thing on unreliable narrators based on some things i’ve seen going around and some stuff from my own experience based on my work with unreliability. 

just because someone says something in canon story, doesn’t actual mean that’s exactly how things are. there’s some important factors that play into how much you can trust information from a character. 

some of the main ones being:

let’s look at shouto for example:

This is an Endeavor fan safe space~ ( as much as I love Endeavor we can all agree he has majorly FUCKED UP and there’s a lot of work to be done there. You can LIKE a character, but not condone their actions, it’s really that simple. You would not akin a villain stan to being someone who condones the actions of a real life mass murderer, so don’t do the same for us.)

It is often hard for people to separate their feelings from real life occurrences and situations that mirror that in their favorite media and that is completely valid. But this can sometimes come across aggressive and I will tell you now, there is little you can do to change a persons mind.They are valid to feel the way they do especially if the subject hits too close to home. However, it is not okay to attack other people who don’t have the same experience and belittle or call them horrible things for liking a character in fiction.

Do yourself a favor, don’t interact. Blocking is such a powerful tool, use it. It costs zero dollars to hit that block button and relieve your headache. scrolling through your fav tag and see something you don’t like? BLOCK. The internet is vast and wide and you will not miss a single thing removing that person from your freetime to enjoy what you love.  ❤
