I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.
Hey if u like the ocean look at this its rly cool I think
This is just my 2¢ as a nonbinary person but I genuinely think that cis people's gender is just as constructed as trans people's. Cis people love to accuse us of having making up genders or artificially modifying our appearance but....the entire makeup, fashion, diet, workout, and haircare industry exists so that cis people can maintain the illusion of two entirely distinct genders with no overlap.
honestly how funny would Batman comics involving Resurrected!Jason have been if they had actually acknowledged all the ridiculous and stupid things that happened after he died.
like imagine it going the exact same way with Jason coming back from the dead and going on a rampage but instead it ended up like:
Jason: WHY DIDN’T YOU KILL THE JOKER AFTER HE KILLED ME??? THIS IS PROOF YOU NEVER LOVED ME REALLY I KNEW IT>:(
Bruce: oh no I totally tried to kill the Joker in revenge for your death, he was just involved with Iran for some reason at the time so it was weird
Jason: Involved with…Iran.
Bruce: yeah idk why it was odd and pretty racist. Anyway I DID eventually go after him but then Superman showed up and stopped me even though he didn’t have any real stake in any of it?
Jason: huh well okay. I can’t be mad at Superman.
Bruce: what you can’t? But you can be mad at ME?
Jason: Yeah it’s a proud Robin tradition. anyway finish your story what happened next.
Bruce: Okay, well it looked like l’d indirectly killed the Joker despite all that, so I felt vaguely content for a while? but then he just came back again so it was clear to me this was all pointless and he would never stay dead even if I did kill him? I mean does anyone in this weird world of ours? Look at you.
Jason: okay I guess I’m not upset about that anymore then but why did you then immediately make another kid Robin, pretty hurtful..
Bruce: no see this boy literally stalked me and I was all “leave me alone kid I’m going on a suicidal rampage now” so he just made himself Robin and made this big speech about how Robin is important to my mythos and also my mental health…
Jason:nice this kid sounds like a nerd I wanna meet him now so i can noogie him and shove him into a locker.
Bruce: I’m going to assume you mean that affectionately and congratulate myself on diffusing this situation. Great parenting, me.
Joker, still tied up: so i guess everyone’s forgotten I’m here? that’s fine

First reminder: MHA is written by a Japanese man for a Japanese audience, and if you can’t even for one second at least try to look at it from the perspective of Japanese cultural and spiritual beliefs instead of projecting your own western ones… good luck, I guess?
Second reminder: MHA is a meta story about the art of fiction, escapism, fantasy vs. reality, and theatre. It’s quite literally a three-act play about fantasy, reality, and the balance of both. It’s about a stage, and character masks, and actors, and the real world outside of the stage, and about fighting against the writer who is too lost in his own fantasy.
Third reminder: visual storytelling is a tool sometimes used to contradict the lines of the story, which invites readers to think about what is actually the truth here.
Fourth reminder: MHA is anti-darwinism and anti-biological essentialism.
Fifth reminder: Hero system was literally created to control quirked population in the post-apocalypse. It’s FOR quirks. Heroes exist to keep population’s quirk usage in check by being the only profession that allows it’s usage, and strictly for ‘good’, while also showing off those quirks to keep population entertained and content with the lie that quirks are accepted, actually! (Aren’t heroes so cool and their quirks are so flashy? See, we like quirks! We accept and allow quirks! Only if you use them for the good of society, of course! You are still not allowed to use or express them if you’re not a hero though, sorry). So. No, you can’t be a ‘hero’ (job) without a quirk, having quirks is A REQUIREMENT for this job.
Sixth reminder: MHA is a sci-fi with fantasy elements. Some concepts in sci-fi aren’t meant to be 1:1 parallels to real life. Quirkless people aren’t a disability allegory, it’s an allegory for any minority in general. MHA is a story about a person from a minority becoming one of people in power and about what effect a person with the experience of being a part of minority can have on others in power, acting as the first falling domino that ends up completely rewriting the script of the story.
Seventh reminder: MHA is about one person’s small actions affecting the world like a chain reaction. One action affects another person, and that person also makes it’s own small action. Everyone performing their small actions together, those small actions eventually combining and creating big results. Concepts of karma and butterfly effect. That’s literally what the idea of OFA is about. Everyone thinking about everyone else even just a little, doing their parts, creating a web and changing the world little by little.
Eighth reminder: the themes, good lord, the themes. Remember the fucking themes, you dumbfucks. My god. One of those fucking themes is the real person vs. the mask, by the way. Which, by the way, circles back to the first reminder, since it’s all about the Japanese concept of honne and tatemae.
Ninth reminder: touch grass and stop projecting.
P.S. ‘Izuku doesn’t want to change the status quo’ - Izuku wanting to save Shigaraki is literally him going against the narrative of the story. Saving Shigaraki IS changing the status quo - it’s another (very big) falling domino that will have a huge effect on the world and the status quo as the result.
