“Shirakumo would be a rescue hero” headcanon destroyed in one image

#mha #bnha #oboro shirakumo #vigs spoilers #this was always my favorite panel #I’m so glad bones thought it was as funny as I did #and extended it 😭 I was cracking up as soon as I saw the dummies flying because I knew it was this dumbass #oboro posts #mha posts

I was so mad that nobody had ever scanned these that I spent an egregious amount of money to do it myself

#mha #bnha #oboro shirakumo #nobody is allowed to complain about the scan quality as I am the first and only to do this #oboro posts

Redraws of Kurogiri scenes with his real face are surprisingly uncommon however given that Shirakumo’s eyes are very wide just as a resting state, there’s a chance that Kurogiri’s expression is probably close to this in a good amount of scenes

#I know what I have to do.#mha posts #oboro posts

This scene is often taken to laugh at AFO for playing with blocks but a more honest interpretation is that AFO is infantilizing Kurogiri (who is possibly 17-18 in this panel) by explaining concepts to him using simple children’s toys

#like don’t get distracted by his suit. it’s blink-and-you-miss-it but AFO very much treats him like a child #even when he’s like. 31 #I guess 31 is still baby when you’re functionally immortal #I am desperate for more people to take AFO seriously as a character and as an abuser #oboro shirakumo #mha #kurogiri #all for one #zen shigaraki #oboro posts

I hesitate to talk about Kurogiri’s [perception of] age sometimes because some people think he’s legitimately physically and mentally 17 and immediately use that for ship wars (as fandoms do), and I refuse to feed that misinformation

On the other hand

A very common experience I’ve read about for long term captivity (ie 5-10+ years, not talking weeks or months) is the time-warp feeling that no time had actually passed during captivity and it feels like your life only continues after escape, so survivors do often have very odd perceptions of their own age and maturity

Kurogiri was forced into a sort of faux hyper-maturity that would be unnatural even for a naturally matured Shirakumo (should note that most RL captivity survivors also deal with this due to like.. 99% of them being raped and impregnated as teens, and then made to raise those children. Kidnappers are all pretty similar in motive/behavior) so this is a bunch of preemptive rambling to explain why I think age regression is not just possible for him but likely an inevitability. Though the caveat is that it’s not like “oh he’s acting like his teen self now, wow how nostalgic for everyone” and more of the “physically and mentally can’t function without external care, in a childlike manner”

#sa mention #I tend to overlap research on this with studies of long term imprisonment and institutionalization #and torture and cults etc #(I read a lot about trauma and psychopathology just in general. for funsies)#tends to have similar mechanisms on part of the perpetrator but different impacts on the victim and possible recovery/resilience #I will note that there is a very low number of survivors of these situations #(long term captivity after a kidnapping)#because people in these situations usually are never found and are eventually murdered #because of this I do feel like.. mildly weird talking about these accounts of long term captivity..#we’re not really talking about stats #there is not enough survivors of these awful situations for there to even be stats in the first place #whereas there is plenty of information about cults and prisons #oboro posts

Why do a lot of LOV scenarios have all of them live except for some reason Kurogiri has to die even though his death was objectively the stupidest and cruelest of all of them. What do you mean he “had” to die? No he didn’t. That isn’t true. You can’t even use his quirk falling apart as an excuse because if you can find a way to give skinless Dabi any longer than a month’s prognosis then I’m sure Kurogiri will be fine

#mha posts #oboro posts #Kurogiri is very inconvenient to LOV fans I think lol #for a multitude of reasons #you can see it in how they interact with his character and how he’s talked about #edit: not to mention that Shigaraki went through WAY more body and mental modifications than Kurogiri lmao #Kurogiri is likely one of the six experiments aka the prototypes that led to Shigaraki’s modification #if he can survive and live on relatively normally.. why can’t Kurogiri lmao

The whole expulsion self-sacrifice symbolic death schtick honestly doesn’t apply that well with Shirakumo’s death, even though it’s the reason he does it, and the anime made that even more plain given how fast everything happened. All Shirakumo saw was a bunch of 4 year olds that were about to die if he didn’t do anything, and the debris came at him way too fast to do anything. You could say he should’ve watched his head, but reasonably, you’re already in a chaotic situation and you see children about to die, who would take the pause to watch themselves?

I had the interpretation before that Aizawa’s memory of the moment is flawed and may have applied some level of blame onto Shirakumo because of how unfair the situation is. I’m much more confident about that now. Looking for someone to blame even if it’s the person in question is pretty typical for traumatic grief and not an inditement of Aizawa or anything, but it makes me wish much more that Mic hadn’t held onto the “secret” that it was a premeditated killing

Nobody ended up mentioning it as far as I saw, so I will. His face is insanely scrunched here. Ridiculous levels of scrunch
