Okay, but where is...

That one Hot Wings fic where Dabi is Touya and isn’t even actually a villain, he’s just so pissed about growing up his whole life being told he’s a weak failure who could never become a pro hero that he decides to give Endeavor the biggest middle finger ever by infiltrating the League of Villains and imploding them from the inside out at the exact! right!! time!!!, only to be tasked with indoctrinating the supposed hero-traitor Hawks, which like… oh hell no, Dabi has not put up with creepy Shigaraki Tomura for six months to have this punk ass hero with terrible acting skills literally swoop in and steal his Moment™!

The entire fic is Dabi simultaneously trying to sabotage Hawks and the League and despairing at the complete uselessness and unpredictability of all parties involved. His serious-minded Todoroki soul is screaming, guys.

In the background, Hawks is just like “Villains are weird, my dudes.”

Somehow, it’s a shameless and unwavering rom com.

I don’t have the time or energy to write this, people, somebody needs to come through for me, ASAP.

“Hawks/Dabi did everything right.”

[Or: Dabi and Hawks are ideological masterpieces and picking a side explains your kind of moral-justice.]

Let’s take off our fandom-glasses for a moment and look at the gorgeous canon conflict between Dabi and Hawks and “the injustice of morality”.

Now, the goal is to destroy an ‘unjust’ society. Which will inevitably kill many innocent people. Though: Some of the leagues members are genuinely good people (Twice) or just got abused by the system (Dabi) and see no other choice. Dabi sees his action as “justice”, since he longs for revenge against the man/system who did him wrong. [- But this brings him in conflict with his understanding of moral-pain, as he knows the people he kills have family. - To the point where he cried blood.]

His moral ideology is the extreme opposite of Hawks’.

When Hawks joined the league, he acknowledged the problem of “injustice”. He saw the flaws of the system and felt genuine sympathy for Twice. But he is unwilling to risk a single civilian life for changing it.

The bloody fun starts when Hawks is gets confronted with the “Trolley-Problem”.

This is a version of an ethical dilemma from 1967, surrounding the question: Do I stick to the “moral code” by not hurting a criminal or do I choose the “best” outcome, by causing a criminal’s death?

In a survey around 90% of the respondents said: “It’s okay to let one person die, to save the larger number of people.” This is the natural human ideology of “Utilitarism” and also occurs in social animal-species behavior.

BUT If you make it more “personal”, let’s say: You like the person and you have to kill them yourself – And Hawks liked Twice. - Even if it still saves a thousand lives, the reaction is completely different now: Only 10% of the respondents would still do it. Because now it “feels” wrong.

Even if “not killing this person, because you don’t want to feel wrong” would lead to “letting thousand people die, but feeling right”.

Well, Hawks does not feel “heroic” - Even before he killed Twice, he had huge doubts about his own dignity.

[He jokes he doesn’t want to be No. 2. He thinks his back isn’t broad enough. He jokes he isn’t “Top-hero”-material. (ref: ch. 188; ch.185)]

Hawks is one of the most intelligent characters within the MHA Universe, and his way of approaching problems is not influenced by “situational factors” but by “logical weight.”

Hawks took the harder choice and forced himself to suppress his own moral instincts for this. [Remember, he saved Twice’s life risking his own out of pure reflex. Hawks is a selfless hero, to a point where Dabi relied on it:]

[In fact, Hawks is so selfless, that he sacrifices his own “wish to feel like a good person” so save the larger number of people. ]

“Ah. Cool motive, still murder.” Does the end really justify the means?

Let’s say (solely hypothetical) Hawks killed Twice – but Toga copies Twice’ quirk, and over hundred million civilians of Japan die nonetheless. Hawks has now killed a good man, without direct logical weight behind it.

Someone could (or will, because I’m fucking going to) conclude that the righteousness of Hawks action might solely depend on its success. ( – At least till we include numbers in Hawk’s imaginary litigation. Because Twices quirk included “exponential growth of fighting power”, the heroes’ chances of winning would run asymptotic to zero, which would result in the death of over a hundred-million people. Not taking the “risk” of beeing injustice would therefore have been illogical from Hawks’ perspective.)

So was Hawks ‘injustice’?

From Dabis point of view: “Well- Yes of fucking course.”

Because Dabi’s character personifies the exact opposite ideology: “deontological theory”, which focuses not on the product of his acts, but the intrinsic value of the act in and of itself. Dabi approaches problems complete and utterly “selfish”.  - No, this does not mean that he can’t do things for others out of sympathy- It means that he acts bird-free after his own instinctive moral-code and makes his decisions because he feels like they are the right thing to do. - Like a normal human - just a little more extreme. 

[See, Dabi recruited Hawks into the inner circle of the League, without trusting him - because he doesn’t trust the League either. (He said this and acted like this several times.) Just like Hawks, Dabi is a lonely and paranoid man. But other than Hawks, he is driven by the injustice he experienced. He uses on his own pain as fuel to fight for the things he right now sees as “good”.)

- Dabi got exploited and abused by the hero-system? -> He will destroy said hero-system as revenge, to create momentary “justice” for himself.

- Dabi gets the chance to benefit from a hero? -> He will recruit him without much caring for long-term consequences.

- Dabi loses a valuable ally/partner trough a hero? -> He will kill/torture said hero as revenge.  

Dabi is more “justice“ fixated than Hawks.

Dabi would never kill a man he likes for the “greater good”. (He also does not care about the “liberation”-ideology, or anything regarding the “freedom” of regular civilians. Which is shown in his fight against Geten and again in his monologue in chapter 267.) He only cares about the ‘injustice’ of the hero-system. Dabi clings to his “humanity” more than Hawks does and he reacts to his own pain with highly emotion-driven actions. He clearly does not care about the long-term effects his actions have on him- or everyone else. 

[Neither Hawks nor Dabi expect a long life, but both deal with it very differently.]

From Dabi’s point of view, Hawks is injustice, because he killed a good man, right here and now and the consequences – good or bad – do not matter. (“The action in itself was amoral.”)

[It is very interesting to see the reactions within the fandom, paralleling Dabi’s exact ideology to the point where some wanted Dabi to punish Hawks in the name of justice. Dabi’s moral-code is to lesser extents portrayed in many shonen-protagonists (e.g. Gon from HxH) – and sometimes criticized as immature.]

Actually, both sides can be reduced to:

Dabi’s: “Think for yourself and do whatever the hell you recognize as righteous right now.” and Hawks’: “Think for the others and do whatever the hell is necessary to bring the maximum good to society.”

…And I also think thats pretty fucking cool.

This speaks to My Soul.

This is the best explanation I could come up with for why it takes me so long to do updates sometimes when, at other times, I’m typing them up like clockwork.

And now I’m crying, and want to write fix-it for something that didn’t happen

“Do it,” Josef says, as Eli stands poised with the Hunter’s seed in hand, hesitation showing painfully clear on his face. “Before I change my mind, Eli!” 

And Eli nods, and swallows what he was about to say, and pushes the hand clutching the brilliant-white pearl into Josef’s chest. He’s in up to the wrist before he checks himself and pulls back, but by that point Josef has gone stock-still, his expression a combination of shock and determination. 

—

When the world ceases being brilliant-white, Nico finds Josef again. She shouldn’t be so surprised to see him bright-white and at odds with the suddenly-dingy landscape, but she is, because Josef has always been quietly ominous rather than blinding opposition. 

Looking at him hurts. 

She’s almost convinced herself that it’s because he’s practically shining, rather than because she is a demon, when he tears a hole in the Veil with a swing of the Heart. 

There’s work to be done, he says. The Heart and I will hold off the demons. I’ll leave the rest to you, Eli.

He steps through the hole, and Nico waits for it to close, and chokes on the words that she does not want to say. She has never wanted to bid Josef Liechten goodbye. 

She is just about to try when she steps halfway back through the hole. 

Are you coming or not?

—

“You know what this means, right?” 

It’s a question that has to be asked, because she’s never completely sure if Eli knows exactly what he’s getting himself into when he takes the first leap. 

This time, though, he knows, and he is still just as determined.

“Of course. Go save the world.” When she doesn’t move, he adds, “Can’t get my bounty to a million standards if there’s no world to set the bounty, after all,” and manages a smile. 

“A hundred years is a long time.”

“Please. I’m Eli Monpress, greatest thief in the world, and I will steal time itself if I have to.” 

He pushes her through the portal after Josef, and it closes of its own volition. 

The last time they see Eli Monpress alive, he is giving them his trademark cheeky grin, and he is trying desperately to hide the fact that his blue eyes are filled with tears. 

———

a/n: Eli’s original plan, before the Lord of Storms provided another out, was to make Josef the Hunter. He must have known that Josef would never have done it without Nico out there at his side. 

He was ready to give up everything he loved for the sake of the world. 

Tell me that’s not sacrifice.

Ok, so I am currently rereading the Legend of Eli Monpress series, and I had a thought. How do they eat? Everything in this series is supposed to have a soul, a spirit. For the majority of the series a lot of the spirits are asleep and not everybody can hear the spirits anyway, so I can understand the humans eating fruits and vegetables and meat then, but after Spirit’s End (spoiler alert) all the spirits are awake all the time and all the humans can see and hear the spirits. So how do people eat? The animals of course are fine, predator, prey, etc. But how do humans deal with being talked at by their crops, or their fruit, or even their livestock? Even if the livestock don’t really have much to say. Do the humans ask permission? Is it ok because of the whole cycle of rebirth thing? I really need to know the answer for this because it’s really bugging me.

when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges it’s ‘intelligent’ and ‘really cool’ but when i do it i’m ‘petty’ and ‘need to move on?’ what kind of double standard honestly…..

This is me and my best friend. I’m the one reading fanfic

Oof get you a friend who cares.... but still... fanfic

I don’t know much about Voltron, but after seeing Lotor everywhere on my dash I absolutely need an animated series for Drizzt Do’Urden. Just putting this out there in case the universe is listening.

r.a. salvatore wrote in one of the legend of drizzt books “he died of natural causes, for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one’s life” and i’ve never gotten over that

‘Hey Blitzi.’ • Due to the release of Jurassic World 2 @aresuna, @2j3i0ru8 and I are working on a Bnha Jurassic World AU :D @aresuna and I just had the idea outta nowhere and @2j3i0ru8 joined us~ Basically this will be an AU where a lot of ships are gonna be in and the Bakusquad will be a huge part in this AU!

Bakugou is Owen Grady, while we turned the others of the Bakusquad into his raptors he’s taking care of (+ one special raptor and Kirishima will be not a part of the raptors, he’s gonna be the T-Rex, stay tuned ^^)

Kaminari is called ‘Blitzi’ here because in our AU Bakugou has German ancestors that’s why we gave him this name! Lightning = Blitz (in German; the 'i’ at the end is just there to let it sound cuter)

All the other characters are coming soon! :)

So the footage of Owen training the tiny raptors in the new Jurassic World kind of (inadvertently, I think) confirmed something that always bugged me about the social dynamics mentioned in the first film.

Owen’s using the term ‘alpha’ wrong.

Of course, the concept of pack alphas is rooted in a lot of erroneous studies anyway. But if we take his actual assertions about it and Blue’s behaviour at face value, then Owen is wrong. He’s not the alpha. Blue is the alpha. The pack follows her cues, that’s why they go with her when she decides to follow the Indominous, and it’s also why they listen to Owen - because Blue does. If Blue stops, so do the other raptors. They’d don’t just wait it out to see who’ll win, they immediately follow Blue’s lead.

Blue’s the leader. 

Owen is, actually, the mediator.

He is the one who stops disputes between the raptors and defuses tense situations. He is permitted this status precisely because he’s physically weak (compared to raptors) but socially important. His social importance was created by rearing the raptors and forming emotional bonds with them. But they know full well that he’s squishy and beatable (though they probably don’t realize just how lethal some behaviours might be for him, comparatively). Blue knows she can kill Owen and that Owen is not strong or very useful at leadership decisions for a velociraptor pack. She accepts his input because he’s dad.

So since Owen actually isn’t even in the running for pack leader, and challenging him would be pointless because then you’d just hurt him and cost the pack a socially important member, and also probably get beaten up by Blue, he is the ideal mediator of disputes. His intervention de-escalates situations by reducing the amount of violence that’s permissible. 

But because he was using so much containment and physical force (even if it was through equipment, obviously) to keep the raptors in check, I think Owen misjudged his placement in the raptor social group. Especially since he actually was tougher than them when they were babies. He thought they listened to him because they believed he was stronger than them, and that this was an illusion he had to maintain.

That was never actually the case, though. Blue knew Owen was way weaker than her the whole time. She just valued him anyway.

There’s probably a metaphor about toxic masculinity in there somewhere.

What’s with this trope of the light haired boy being in love with the dark haired protagonist

The list can go on eternally if I put my heart into it.

Bonus points if the dark haired boy is oblivious, it’s unrequited or they get a tragic ending

I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to

make up some lie, or

eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.

So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”

I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.

MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.

MDZS is about love. Not about romance.

Not to be fake deep but Wei WuXian’s “always remember human kindness, always forget bad things they’ve done to you” is one of the most powerful messages I’ve read in a long time. It’s not new, it’s not original but it doesn’t matter because now and forever, we’ll always need stories about love. And WWX is so good; he’s unbelievably good, illogically good, he’s good despite everything and everyone. His every decision is motivated by the purest, the kindest love. 

Honestly, if someone asked me what is MDZS about, I could go into details and try to explain its original plot full of twists, but I could also say it’s a story about love. I know what you think - “But Soshi, MDZS is a romance, it’s supposed to be about love. You didn’t discovered a new America”… The truth is no, not every romance is about love. Making your character declare sentimental confessions and kiss in the rain is not showing feelings. Compare to the pretty epic intrigues and plot twists, WWX and LWJ’s love story is anything but epic. Yeah, they have some big and dramatic scenes like fighting with the turtle or “come back to Gusu with me”, I can’t deny, but much more often their relationship is so down to earth and boring: they study together, they sleep together, they eat together, they travel together, hey drink together. WWX undresses LWJ when he’s drunk. LWJ carries WWX when he doesn’t feel well. And when they fight, instead of covering each other with their own bodies and screaming names, WWX and LWJ go separate ways, saying that they’ll meet later because everything is going to be all right. It’s so anticlimactic. It’s so normal. It’s so tender. Soft. And it doesn’t happen often, but when I am reading about them, I really fall in love with their love and think that I would like someone to love me as much as they love each other. Despite their fails and flaws - come on, this relationship is far from being perfect. Is there anything more beautiful than loving for imperfection? 

But this is all just a drop in the sea of love. WWX and LWJ’s love - romantic love - helps them keep going. Carry one. And take care of so many more people. Now I’m going to cry but MDZS is a romance story where romantic love is never ever portrayed as bigger than other kinds of feelings. It’s a story about friendships, siblings, parents and children, about born family, about made families, about human relationships and being good to everyone, because we never know what other people have gone through. It’s about Wei WuXian and Wen Ning and how some words, unimportant to us, may mean the world to someone else (or hurt, like during WWX and JL’s first meeting), how we should always smile because we never know when we’re going to change someone’s day. Good things are coming back, we can find love in a place we would never expected it to be. It’s a story about Jiang Cheng and how people wither without love. In the end, under the layers of complicated plans and difficult schemes, those characters are so simple. They just wanna feel loved. And if we had more people like the Lan brothers, if we were loved for who we are and not for who we are supposed to be, then we would have more WWX and less Jin Guangyao.

You know what I also appreciate, in some bitter sense? That the author doesn’t pretend everything is going to be fine and if you’re good, people will be good in return. Evil gives birth to evil. But evil things happen to good people. Even when they don’t deserve it. You can do everything, but someone will still stab you in the back. Life is brutal, full of loses, full of pain and tears. No matter how much you try, you’ll always face hate. And this life is worth living. That’s Wei WuXian’s message: happiness is a choice. It’s easy to present some happy-go-lucky epicure singing “don’t worry, be happy” but WWX is so beautiful because it’s not portrayed as something easy. Being happy is a hard work and requires too much effort… but in the end it’s worthwhile. Because you choose; to look at someone who stayed, to enjoy the meal, to drink, to laugh when you want to cry, to try, again and again and again. (Sorry, I became emotional writing it. That’s what good literature does to you) Still, it’s so hard to let go and never mourn what is gone but WXX makes a decision that he wants to focus on small things. I wrote about it before - WWX and LWJ’s love is built on little moments. It’s amazing: WWX’s name is repeated by mouths of the most important people, his actions affect politics and change the whole world! He’s the perfect chosen one! The most powerful! And yet… his reward in not a kingdom, or fame, or gold, or even being someone special. The only thing that matters is sleeping in peace, drinking good alcohol and enjoying music. This is why WWX does it. This is love. 

MDZS message is universal. Maybe it’s hard to imagine that we have an adopted brother for whom we sold our soul. But we can decide that children playing with their kites are enough to smile… or that we need position, money and respect to feel truly happy. Because you know… it’s all a matter of decisions. Sometimes we need a reminder that the smallest things are good enough to keep us alive.

To be honest the only thing canon about my OTP is the intense eye fucking contact. That’s all.

SERIOUSLY THIS SCENE

No, but like,

Can we talk about this scene?

THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN IN THE MANGA!!!!

Kaneki stayed with his mask until the end of his fight with Amon in the manga. Now, in the anime, kaneki took off his mask, and you’re not supposed to do that, ever. This shows the amount of trust kaneki has for Amon.

AND NOW HIS ASKING FOR HIS NAME

The thing with this shot, is that it’s done perfectly, it’s really clever. Kaneki looking up to meet Amon’s eyes (As if, accepting that he just showed his identity to a CCG, a complete stranger) asking for Amon’s name so formally, and the smoke covering only his ghoul side so he can only look at his human side makes it all the more difficult for Amon to doubt him.

What I really liked about this one, is that, in the manga, Amon is downright rude to kaneki when talking to him. He said something like “Don’t fuck with me you ghoul bastard” In the anime, Amon, without hesitation said his name.

AND THEN (sorry I don’t have a gif for this one) kaneki looks down, the smoke covering his mouth, and Amon TWITCHES, I know this may sound really exaggerated, but, Amon kinda likes, observes kaneki at that part, as if he did something for Amon to pay closer attention or something. (maybe kaneki smiled?)

AND LATER ON, Kaneki and Amon fight, with kaneki’s hair covering his eyes (maybe because he’s ashamed of himself?). 100% knowing about their “enemy”, Kaneki saying that he doesn’t want to fight Amon, and Amon just wanting to talk to the poor guy, wishing they had met some other way.

*swoon, swoon*

While looking for some flags, I stumbled upon this one and thought

yEP this is my flag

dcmk fancanons that we forgot were fancanons

Off the top of my head (and feel free to add; I know I’m missing a ton):

1) since when were kaito’s eyes “a dashing shade of violet” 

2) hakuba does NOT wear glasses

3) hakuba has been in england for like the past 10 years, so all your ekoda hs fics are fantasies waiting to be fulfilled

4) i’m pretty sure we took the aoko-and-mop thing and blasted it up ten levels

5) kaito’s famous “nobody gets hurt” policy at heist. i know this one’s hard, but when did he ever actually say that?

6) i love kaishin, but i feel like a good chunk of kaishin fics don’t do shinichi’s character justice. if you’ve read some (the majority, not just the top few), you’ll know what I’m talking about. like fam. we’re talking about kudou shinichi here. even as a seven-year-old, he’s still got a huge ego and the visceral need for control of any given situation. for some reason he ended up as the fandom’s preferred bottom, which is fine, but i can’t imagine him jumping ship that easily.

7) something about kaito and his obsession with crossdressing and panties.

8) the whole “mk black organization is the same dc black organization” mega-theory. y’all know the similarities exist only because gosho’s lazy and re-used the same basic plotline (ok not really, but dc was definitely built out of lessons learned from mk)

9) kaito’s tendency to booby-trap everything. yes, i’m sure he has a bunch of smoke grenades stored somewhere, but I’ve seen so many fics where there’s an entire scene dedicated to just somebody trying to make their way through kaito’s wardrobe or belongings without spontaneously combusting.

10) and last but not least, if kaito and shinichi aren’t cousins, they’re fucking. it’s a given fact.

Do you guys ever have a time when your thoughts mindlessly wander to one of your OTPs and you’re heart just clenches and you smile a little and you feel instantly happy because you just love that ship so fucking much.

star wars prequels daemon au thoughts?

This is actually super hard because I have no idea what animals exist in Star Wars, there is just SO MUCH Star Wars. So long story short, VAGUENESS FOR THE WIN. 

Obi-Wan’s daemon definitely settled like, RIGHT after Qui-Gon took him as a padawan, just immediately after, basically INSTANTLY after. Finding out they’re going to be/NOT going to be a Jedi has been the moment of settling for a whole lot of Temple-raised kids, so this is totally unremarkable. She is not a remotely unremarkable daemon, though. 

Padmé‘s daemon is unsettled when she first shows up, as are all the daemons of her handmaidens. It doesn’t actually matter because they’re all perfectly comfortable touching each other’s daemons, but it’s still how it is, even though most of them are a bit old for it. He settles during the endgame of The Phantom Menace, and he settles into something big and flashy and super impressive. People who pay attention to him are a lot less likely to underestimate Padmé. 

Anakin’s daemon ALSO settles during the endgame of The Phantom Menace, which is pretty dang early for a daemon to settle. Obi-Wan didn’t even realize she WAS settled for a good long while, he just assumed she didn’t like to change very much. Why would a NINE year-old’s daemon be settled, after all? She’s small and fierce and absolutely fearless, and they’re separated because slavers are bastards. Someday Darth Vader is going to look terrifying storming around without a daemon. 

Ahsoka’s daemon is already settled when they meet Anakin and his, but sometimes they wonder if maybe he should’ve waited. 

The clones all have daemons, down to a man, and DIFFERENT daemons at that. The galaxy at large is not entirely sure how to take this.
