Sometimes I forget that league of villains has to die or be locked up in order for mha to have a happy ending.
characters with quiet dignity
When it’s your moral and sworn duty to stop them but you also want to be supportive !!
So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.
Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.
Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.
Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.
Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.
Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.
Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.
Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.
Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!
Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.
Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.
Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.
Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.
Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.
If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.
Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.
It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.
Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.
You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.
Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.
Pregame Kokichi vs In-game Kokichi
It's freaking interesting how the members of the League get angry when people suggest they are miserable.
Watching My Villain Academia, I realized there's a common mistakes characters and fans make alike. That mistake involves talking about the League like they were miserable people who are just suffering and that's why they decided to join and stay in the League of Villains.
When in fact the League gave them a place to belong, friends who care for them, the opportunity to develop their abilities, the opportunity to find out who they are and why are they fighting for, etc.
There's a narrative where "normal" people find those who are different as "poor miserable people". And that narrative is really harmful because you're stating that their situation is a misfortune, a tragedy. In the sense that for example, someone with adhd is pitied and put aside instead of being treated a good way, with all the rights a person deserves.
With that in mind it's easy to understand why the members of the League get angry when other people suggest they need to be fixed. Example: Hawks trying to save Twice and Curious talking to Toga like she was a martyr.
It's the say thinking that makes people see minorities as charity jobs and not people to be properly respected. It's like when the Catholic Church suggests that lgbtaq+ people need to be saved and redeemed, because they are dirty sinners who would never live like normal people.
When Toga thinks about being "normal", she asks herself what does it mean, to be normal. And she reaches the conclusion that she is normal and she deserves to live, love and be herself. People all her life pitied her for being born a monster, but she knows she is not a monster, but a normal girl. Not because others find her different it means she is not normal.
And when Hawks suggests Twice is miserable, he gets strongly offended. Why? Because before finding the League, he was alone, sad and went down a spiral of crimes. He couldn't trust anyone, not even himself, less alone authorities. Within the League he found a reason to be heroic, he found friends, he learned to have fun and smile, he found his motivation to stay alive, he found people who protected him, people who appreciated him, people who saw him like a normal man. So why would a hero decide he was miserable? The difference between the League and the other characters it's that most members of the League never judge the past or the lives of the others without knowing. Mr. Compress says it in the War arc. The members of the League knew it was not their place to choose for a person if they were miserable or happy.
When Geten faces Dabi, Dabi shows that he knows what is like living the life Geten is describing. Geten is talking like Dabi would never get what is like being trained since he was very little, focusing only on his quirk. This makes Dabi angry for the same reason, because Geten is assuming things without knowing.
And when Tomura faces Re-Destro, we can see how Re-Destro realizes he's been judging Tomura wrong all along. It happens with other enemies that face Tomura. Everyone believes they know how Shigaraki thinks, what he wants, how he feels. They think Tomura is a childish man, some dumb immature kid without experience, determination or knowledge.
The problem with the members of the League is that everyone decides what they are seeing. The heroes, the other villains, the citizens, they keep pitying the League.The heroes, the other villains, the citizens, they keep pitying the League. Everyone assigns them a value or a narrative, but just a few persons can see them as they really are. Deku, Ochaco and Shouto are realizing that too, that they've been pushing their views instead of learning and not judging without knowing.
If Toga smiles, who are they to judge if she is happy or not? If Twice says he is sad, why should Hawks assume the reasons instead of talking with him? No one heard Tomura and his speeches, everyone ignored what he was saying in order to create their own version of Shigaraki. In doing so, they were erasing the human being and building a myth, a story, instead of seeing the real man in front of them.
It's good to notice that Deku, Ochaco and Shouto talk about stopping Tomura, Toga and Dabi, but that's it. Stopping, and then what? In order to properly see something, you need to make it slow down, right? So in order for the kids to see the villains as they are, they need to make the villains stop and share some moments with them. How else could Shouto learn more about his big brother? How else could Deku get to know Tomura past if Tomura doesn't talk with him? And how else could Ochaco properly communicate with Toga, if they are always in the middle of a fight?
Take for example Kurogiri. Only when they stopped Kurogiri, could Aizawa and Mic speak to him and understand better the situation. I really hope there'll be some type of communication between Mr. Compress and the heroes, or between Spinner and someone else.
That way the heroes could understand the humanity within the members of the League, their ability to feel love, friendship, to sacrifice themselves for a friend, to overcome obstacles and protect those who they love, etc.
And by doing so, they could realize that all the member of the League wanted was to be happy and fine, they've never wanted to be miserable. Even Dabi who's kinda suicidal, he still holds close to his life, you can see he is conflicted. It's not that hard to redeem them, because they want to live, they want to love.
I repeat it: The League of Villains want to leave and be loved, to be able to exist.
That's the key for this situation.
