#true hero

[serbianism]

A bystander hailed a hero after he tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen in the Bondi Beach shooting, is a shop owner, Sky News reported. The man, named by a relative as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, was seen in a video running up to the attacker from behind and then grabbing the shotgun from his hands before pointing the weapon back at him. The footage then showed the terrorist heading towards a bridge where another gunman was located, while the bystander placed the gun beside a tree. Mr Ahmed, who was wearing a white T-shirt, was shot twice in the incident and was due to have surgery, his cousin, Mustafa, has revealed. In a video on 7News, Mr Ahmed appeared to have a bloodied arm and hand, and was helped by other people near the scene in the Australian city. Mustafa said father-of-two Mr Ahmed, who owns a fruit shop in the Sydney suburb of Sutherland, did not have any experience with guns but was just walking past when he decided to step in. He told 7News: "He's in hospital and we don't know exactly what's going on inside. "We do hope he will be fine. He's a hero, 100%." At least 11 people were killed and 29 others injured in the attack when two gunmen opened fire from a bridge on crowds at a Jewish event around 6 pm local time on Sunday evening. More than 1,000 people had been at the gathering, which was celebrating the festival of Hanukkah. A gunman was killed, and another was in a critical condition following the shooting. One of the suspects was 24-year-old Naveed Akram. His driver's licence says he lives in Bonnyrigg, a suburb of Sydney. The identity of the other suspected attacker is not known.

I wanted to know what are you thoughts on Izuku and Night-eye relationship?

(OOOH AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT MY FAV ARC!! SURE THING :D)

I think Deku and Sir Nighteye have a rlly interesting dynamic!

What I love is that Deku always has to prove himself, and he rightfully earns that respect through his heroic actions. Seeing him slowly earn the respect he deserves from ppl who once underestimated him is one of the most compelling and satisfying parts of his journey!

Sir Nighteye was so upset that Mirio didn't get OFA that it caused him to have a heavy bias against Deku. But ofc, we know that there is no hero better suited to inherit OFA than Deku - not even Mirio (If you disagree or want proof, I now have a 2,000 word essay explaining why I think this, which is linked in my bio, so anyone who tries to fight me on that one won't change my mind 😅).

The way Nighteye called Deku "arrogant" when the latter mentioned saving and protecting Eri straight after meeting her REALLY triggered me. As I've mentioned in a few posts before, I believe that had Deku taken Eri then and there at the alleyway, he would've been perfectly in the right. As Nighteye was Deku's boss for the duration of the work study, his rationale and practical way of thinking clashed with Deku's instinctive empathy evidently — thus, he mistook it for "arrogance". When Deku sees someone in trouble, his rationality takes a back seat and he'll instinctively jump in to help, whereas Nighteye doesn't lose his cool and does things slowly to make sure nothing gets messed up.

Deku does plan things out in his head, but only short term, e.g when he's in the middle of a fight, he's always thinking ahead. Nighteye is more of a long-term planner. He planned out an entire investigation to be carried out over at least a few weeks involving multiple hero agencies across the country in order to track down Eri. These are two unique ways of showing they cared. It's not that Nighteye didn't care or shoved it aside, cos clearly leading a national operation to save one girl is a big job. He was always taking the initiative.

But my FAVOURITE part is how Deku, with one action, proved Nighteye's entire perspective on life wrong — that yes, the future can be changed, that using his Quirk on someone doesn't seal their fate, that the future becomes what WE decide it to be. We have agency, and we can shape the future to make even the most impossible feats possible, if we work hard and believe in our efforts. Deku not only proved himself to Nighteye by saving Eri - by surviving the fight in the first place - but also by giving him solace in the fact that fate can be twisted. Nighteye was proven wrong on his deathbed.

Deku may not have been able to prevent Nighteye's death, but he still 'saved' him by successfully twisting fate to save Eri. In this way, Nighteye didn't die feeling fear for the ppl he was leaving behind, but rather optimism and peace. He was only able to die with a smile because of Deku.

tysm for the ask, @waj3792!!! I hope this answers your question!!!

On November 12, 1976, a seemingly insignificant accident changed Terry Fox's destiny forever. At 18, he learned he had osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. His right leg had to be amputated.

Three years later, instead of giving up, he embarked on an unthinkable challenge: running across Canada on one leg to raise money for cancer research. Every day, he covered the equivalent of a full marathon: 42 km. Every day.

After 143 days and 5,373 km, he had to stop: cancer had spread to his lungs. But not his courage. Terry Fox had already raised over $24 million. He died in 1981, at only 22 years old.

Even today, few know his face. And yet, this young Canadian has done more for humanity than most of our adored millionaire idols.

There are athletes. And there are heroes.

I want to make another appreciation post for Annie January, because I genuinely do not think we talk about her enough.

Her evolution as a character from season one—where she is this hopeful young girl who dreams of being part of The Seven—to who she is today, basically the leader of a revolution, is incredible. And what makes it even better is that they did not write her as some shallow “look how badass she is now” symbol. Yes, she is the face of the movement against Vought International, but on a personal level she suffers because of it. She understands what that revolution costs. She knows people are dying in that war. She knows people believe in her, and that some of the people who believe in her are dying. She feels guilty for those lives.

That guilt makes her human. Her doubts make her human. The moments where she feels like nothing means anything anymore make her human. And yet, by the end of the day, she keeps understanding that of course it matters, that she cannot give in to cynicism, cannot fall into that defeatist mindset of “we go until the end and if we die, we die.” She has to make incredibly hard choices, even choices that go against her own moral code, and she still understands they are necessary because of what is happening. She is such a complex and rich female character, and I honestly do not think she gets enough credit for that. Because in the end, Annie is everything Homelander is not. Homelander is a façade, a slogan, a brand. Everything he does comes from his position as a brand: media manipulation, power plays, all of it.

Annie does not act as a brand. She acts from political conviction, from consciousness, from empathy. She cares about what happens to people. Not only in the abstract sense of “saving the world,” but specifically the people helping her, the people in the trenches beside her. She cares about them. She is wonderful, and I love her dearly. I talk a lot about Ryan Butcher because he is just a poor kid, but I ride for Annie January always.

Starlighter at heart, until death.
