#pre redemption

A thing I have to get off my chest:

I hate when people blame Faith for kicking Buffy out or that she intentionaly turned other characters against her!

Yes it was pretty reckless to take the pontentials to the Bronze but that had nothing to do with undermining Buffy !

She just wanted them to take their mind of things and honestly she wasn’t wrong for telling Buffy that going to the vineyard earlier wasn`t safe either

The whole argument, everyone disagreeing with Buffy`s plan, only escalates because the scoobies and potentials start to trash Buffy and her judgement out of nowhere

Faith just told Buffy that her plan was too dangerous which yea taking on Caleb again after he murdered and seriously injured someone wouldnt have been a good idea but heres the thing: That doesnt justify calling Buffy a bad leader or claim that she „didnt earn it“

They should have just explained to Buffy why her plan was flawed and then helped her come up with a new strategy

Instead they for some reason decide that Faith would be a better leader than Buffy (Which makes no sense because she her plan in the next episode is very similiar to Buffys but whatever)

They undermine Buffy (THEY NOT FAITH), by voting when Faith clearly keeps saying that she doesn`t want to lead them

Then for some reason they kick Buffy out because……she`s tired?Acts irrational?

It makes them seem really toxic, because they abadon their friend at the first sign that she is not perfect

And then Faith goes after Buffy ! Not the scoobies Faith !

Point is it`s vailid to hate Faith for the way she treated Buffy in Season 3-4 (I actually would have loved if Faith and Buffy had to work all those things out instead of being put against eachother)

But empty places wasn`t her fault

The Abyss

“She’s like nothing and everything all at once. She absorbs all and yet you know she craves nothing.”

Tetith: Well, I'm an antagonist now, that's what I do.

Zilly: Oh my stars get over yourself, I'm begging you.

I confess, I've been rewatching a lot of My Hero Academia and finally finished season 6. Aaaaaaand I can't help myself. I am an Endeavor fangirl. I don't know why, but maybe I just like the most complex characters that in reality are emotionally unavailable. Who knows?

So I tried something knew to write about. An inner monologue of him realizing that he fell in love with another pro hero, before he became our No. 1 and started his redemption arc.

(In my mind Rei also divorced the shit out of him. I would have if I'd been in her shoes, just to protect my kids from the maniac.)

Struggles

Why is this happening? This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I'm supposed to be focused on becoming the number one hero, surpassing All Might. But every time I see her, every time she smiles in my direction, it's like something shifts within me.

Love? No, that's absurd. Love is for the weak, for those who can afford to lose focus. I have responsibilities, a legacy to build and uphold. I can't let myself be distracted by silly emotions.

And yet, there's that nagging feeling, that flutter in my chest everytime she's near. Damn it, this is frustrating. Why can't I control myself like I do in battle? Why do my thoughts become a chaotic mess when it comes to her?

Maybe it's just admiration. She's a competent hero, dedicated and strong. Perhaps I've mistaken respect for something more. I can't afford to be vulnerable, not after all the times I've fallen short of my own expectations. I can't and won't allow myself to disappoint myself again over a foolish notion.

But... I've seen the way she looks at me. The way she listens to me, even when I'm not speaking. Is it possible that she... no, that's wishful thinking. You damn fool, get yourself together.

And yet, I can't escape this pull. It's like an undertow, dragging me into uncharted waters. I've built walls around myself for so long, to protect myself from exposing my weaknesses. Love is just another weakness, isn't it?

But what if it's not? What if letting someone in doesn't make me weaker, but stronger? What if I just could learn to accept that I'm not perfect, that I've made mistakes, that I have flaws?

Damn it, this is infuriating. I can't let myself be swayed by emotions, but... I can't ignore them either. Perhaps, for now, I'll postpone this decision. I'll keep my distance and regain control over my thoughts again.

-Ding-

Wait, a text? From her? What does she want? "Hey, are you free tonight?"

Maybe... maybe it's time to take a chance. To see where this path leads. This is just another challenge I meet head-on, right? If she's willing to accept me, flaws and all, then maybe... just maybe... it's worth it.

I hope you liked it. Don't know if I got his character right, but I tried.

Thanks for reading :)
