The concept of Sith Kenobi won’t leave me alone. And while I love the swap of factions for him and Maul, bruv, Sith Obi-Wan AND canon Maul is burrowing itself into my drawing spaces, and I just—
Dooku managing to turn Obi-Wan on Geonosis?
The consequences of losing the Great Negotiator at the start of the War?
The consequences of an abandoned Anakin?
Renegade Ventress? Meeting this fellow fallen Jedi in Obi-Wan?
Savage and Feral very much alive, with their brother living in darkness on Lotho Minor?
You’re so right my god. During the hawks-twice thing ppl were bringing up police violence in real life America and blm and it’s like??? This is real life where things are real and that is a shounen manga, set in not real JAPAN what are you doing?? And ppl just getting so angry over their own misinterpretation is one of my biggest issues in this fandom, I love meta and analysis but when a decent chunk of the fandom are so heavy into their headcanons and Aus when writing their meta, stuff on the actual text is so hard to find. Like I’m all for headcanons and stuff but whens there’s a such a big difference between what you want and what the manga is giving you, maybe this manga just isn’t for you?? Stop harassing ppl who don’t agree with you like they’re morally evil for it??
I’ve always avoided talking about these things because I just know no matter what i say, someone, somewhere, is gonna get mad, but I need to grow a spine.
Yeah there are parallels to real life issues like that in mha, such as how certain quirks get discriminated against, but comparing the incessant murder of innocent black people at the hands of police to the heroes trying to stop a terrorist group is…a choice.
Because i think what some people lose sight of is that, even if the LOV suffered a lot in their lives and they’re our little meow meows…they’re still…literal terrorists…
Hori even took the time to show us the absolute chaos of the aftermath of the first war.
If people say that this is in anyway comparable to black people just living their lives and getting killed, then i really don’t know what else i can tell you.
Twice certainly got the short end of the stick in all this, because him and Spinner are the ones who had the least bad intentions in all this imo. Twice was mentally ill and all he wanted was to belong and help, and I wish he would’ve lived. But at the same time, i also have to admit that if had unleashed his quirk, everything would be much worse, and his personal struggles don’t give him a pass to just kill so many people.
People blaming Hawks is kinda funny because it’s very clearly just biased, but i know my opinion will also seem biased as a Hawks stan lmao
Hawks was certainly being tone deaf with the way he was talking to Twice, but he didn’t want to kill him. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have spent all that precious time talking with him to try and get him to stand down. He would’ve just went in, killed him before Twice even knew he was being betrayed, and done.
I still love the LOV, because this is all just a story and i know LOV stans aren’t terrorists because that’d just be…incredibly stupid of me to think. People don’t need to like the heros, because they also aren’t without fault - nobody is, in this story - that’s the point.
I understand that these characters mean a lot to people and it must really suck having them be in a losing position from the get go because they’re the bad guys, I just wish people wouldn’t take that love to an unhealthy degree, because even if they don’t think so, fighting with people online and being so negative about a story is NOT good for your mental health.
With the headcanon thing, it’s a bit funnier. I remember seeing people get mad that Hawks didn’t turn into a villain, even though that was dispelled not long after the whole double agent thing was introduced, or some people say the writing is bad because Hori didn’t make Hawks and Dabi childhood friends which is just so funny to me because like…sis, YOU made that up. People spend so much time in their fandom bubble that they completely forget what actually happened in the story, which is fine, but don’t go around saying the writing is bad just because your headcanons conjured out of flimsy tidbits didn’t come true.
I just like when people are objective as possible when it comes to analysing the manga and its writing, and give a fair shot to both heroes and villains, despite who they might prefer, you know?
I never share my opinions on anything because idk people probably don’t care but I gotta scream into the void for a sec.
I follow a really small handful of people on all my social medias which gets kind of slow, content wise, but whenever I try to find more people to follow in the mha fandom, I’m just met with the most vapid, insane, absolutely no critical thinking, brain-rotting takes I’ve ever heard in my fucking life and it’s just ???
People are really out here fighting each other and making accusations about real people over their fictional scrumblos, and i know “yeah Rubi welcome to the internet” but i don’t think I’ve seen something to this degree.
I just want to see some art of my scrunklies, my little scrimblos, without having to read posts that sear the top layer of my brain.
I’m not even talking about headcanons or different interpretations or anything like that, those are fun. But it’s just confusing when people are critiquing the actual source material based on their half-assed takes built on an echo chamber of biased people and then get mad at the writing because it doesn’t follow their made up version of the events. Like, girl, we did NOT read the same manga because where the fuck did you ever see that character ever do something like that ever.
And it wouldn’t really be that bad if people didn’t take these characters and events in the manga like actual real world life and death scenarios that are happening as we speak. You don’t need to be legitimately fighting with other people and jeopardizing your mental well being because you think that the heroes are real people or that the villains are real people. I know some of the themes hit close to home, but i feel like having real fights with real people over these stories is just creating needless frustration in these people’s own lives and for what?
So yeah, then i just have to follow the 3 people who post art that don’t take this series like actual real world events, and so my feed is really empty at times : ‘ )
