4, 8, 18 for the violence ask game!!
I don’t remember the last actual blog I blocked honestly. I block too many bots to remember lol. My space is so insanely curated it’s hard to come across shit I strongly dislike anymore. The only time I do is when mutuals reblog from people whose blogs I don’t like, which usually isn’t an issue until I start seeing really rank shit on my dash repeatedly. I’m pretty tolerant but after seeing like…certain stuff I just kinda decide I’ve had enough. But at that point if it’s a mutual I don’t block, I just unfollow. Any time I block someone it’s because they’ve come into my space via reblogging and commenting whether that be on the actual post or in the tags something I don’t like, leaving it in the comments, or sending asks (which is usually done on anon).
I’m beating a dead horse here but like, pretty much anything with the LOV I disagree with like majority? It’s either one of two extremes—the “they’re irredeemable psychos” takes that I can’t take seriously, or the “they’re a loving found family trying to make the world a better place by fighting for justice” takes. Those actually annoy me more because they often come hand in hand erasing everything that makes the LOV interesting. I also get annoyed by them more because I USED to think that. I know why I thought that and how I got sucked into it, but it’s annoying looking back at how miserable it made me to read it that way. It’s annoying that I got out of it and am super stoked with almost everything the manga does now but the space I was in just stayed there and continues to spread unnecessary negative bad faith takes based on…ideas that the manga has stomped on and tossed out. These are the types of takes that mutuals put on my dash that I’m more or less tolerant of until I’ve had enough lol.
The Tomura Izuku dynamic. I used to wonder if I was looking too deep into it but NO like dude all the art Hori puts into them and their dynamic and the way the story is panning out RIGHT NOW tells me that no, I’m not looking too deep.
It gets ignored in favor of like…the LOV. I get finding the Tomura/LOV dynamic interesting because I was there at one point but it’s so…not what I thought it was (back then). It’s not as explored or deep or significant as everyone tries to make it out to be. In fact often times posts I see looking at them this way have nothing solid taken straight off the page to base that take on. I find that often it’s taking small moments of characterization and just blowing them out of proportion to overshadow everything else because it paints a nice idealized picture I guess, idk.
Tomura’s and Izuku’s roles in each other’s arcs get ignored and overlooked. “They’ve only talked twice 🙄” “Izuku tried to kill him in the PLF war he’s not heroic 🙄”. Like these takes completely ignore Tomura’s perception of their relationship (actually their LACKTHEREOF—BUT NOT TO HIM) and ignore how desperate Tomura actually is to latch onto an ideal (saving someone from the heart, saving no matter what, saving everyone within your reach) and a person (Izuku) who represents that ideal. Izuku represents the core of everything Tomura’s wanted growing up and people just…ignore that in favor of some headcanon which I think is criminal.
