ko-fi request: “Love your stuff, could you draw Coco and Tawna Bandicoot hanging out together, maybe at the beach. Don’t be afraid to get weird with the picture.”
This popular beach located in the Maldives, colloquially known as the Sea of Stars, lights up at night due to the presence of phosphorescent phytoplankton. When stressed or agitated (such as when being stepped on, splashed, or due to crashing waves), the phytoplankton glow like submarine fireflies.

By this point I think I may just be becomming an Epileptic!Kaminari blog, but since the DVD/BluRay just came out I thought I'd cross-post from my Fandom Twitter about why I am so passionate about this headcanon.
There have been plenty of electricity based Superheroes in the past: Static, Black Lightning, Surge, and Thor to name but a few. What marks Denki apart though is the intense NEGATIVE side effects his power has.
There's a trap writers often fall into when creating disabled heroes, where the hero's disability actually grants them some immense power e.g.: Daredevil's superior hearing and reflexes. Denki's quirk does not make his life easier, but much like kids on meds, he's learnt to control it. Mostly.
When Denki releases a sudden and much too intense amount of electricity his brain short circuits, causing him to lose some level of brain function. His dopey expression and dropped gaze could be read as a variety of seizure types. I go with Absence, coz I'm a narcissist.
Not only this, but Denki's "Derp Mode" contains many of the symptoms of a Postictal State ("the altered state of consciousness after an epileptic seizure"). These include, but are not limited to: drowsiness, confusion and headaches. Again, sound familiar? Now, if I believed this was a DELIBERATE attempt at representation I'd be frustrated and a little insulted. There are problematic elements within his "Derp Mode", but when you're epileptic you take what you can get. Which is… overall? Not a lot.
Seriously, take a second to try and think of, say, three explicitly stated epileptic characters in mainstream media... Pretty tough, huh? Even Google can't really help you. Our representation is mostly limited to murder victims.
"How did he die?"
"Well, the super computer didn't like that he tried to turn it off, so it flashed lights at him until he had a seizure and died!"
This is an actual plot line from Elementary. Yeah. It sucks. Back to anime!
Denki's struggle for control is what makes him relatable. He has episodes during regular classes that detract from his learning. His friends make fun of his "derp mode", the period where he's the most vulnerable. These aren't NICE things, but they are all too relatable. He could be criticised for taking too many risks, and trying to use too much of his power at once without thinking it through. This is what we experts call "being a teenager".
From my personal experience, your teen years are when you start to really discover what your triggers are. You try to push yourself, find where your limit is and maybe even try to rebel against it. Perhaps with enough practice you can break those limits and be cured! (Spoiler: You can't be.)
Pushing limits could mean: not taking your medication, staying up late, watching films with flashing lights etc. So when I see Denki being too gun-ho about using his quirk- that's what I see: a teenager testing his limits and making mistakes.
But I also see him LEARNING from those mistakes. He pushes his voltage limit up slowly, testing it in a safe environment with support staff around. He has aids to help refine his technique and prevent overload. His level of self-control from Two Heroes to Heroes Rising is remarkable!
So that brings us back round to the film, and why I cried in the cinema, admittedly on my 4th watch. (I had a pass. I made the most of it.) The answer is: Kaminari knowingly and painfully pushing his limit to save the island. Specifically I am talking about the scene where the power has gone out across the island, and it is Kaminari's job to charge the emergency batteries Momo created to bring power back to mainframe units.
We see him and Momo struggling to produce these generators. They require more energy than they possess, but without them they're doomed. When Jiro suggests they take a break Denki replies "If I don't charge these [batteries] now I won't get to"
This hit home. I have been in that situation. I've had to pull an all nighter. I've had to wake up too early, too often. I've been so stressed that I can feel the tell tale signs of a seizure on the horizon… but I had to push through it. Once that feeling of an oncoming seizure begins there is no taking a break. There is no five minute gap, I have to complete my tasks, be it handing in coursework or stacking shelves, right then coz I'm gonna be flat on my bed in 10 minutes regardless.
That's what I saw in Denki, and in Momo. The familiar pain of knowing the worse is coming, knowing there's nothing you can do, but the pressure of the immediate task means you can't stop. All because, for you, pushing your limits has deadly consequences. For the first time we saw Denki's "Derp Mode" played as a consequence with little to no comedic element. This wasn't "Silly Denki thinking he can do it all! No he can't!" or "Look at his derpy face, how funny it is so make him suffer!"
Denki's loss of awareness was a sign that he had been acting as a hero. He'd given his all for his friends and the islanders. In his next scene we saw him attending a meeting in a Postictal State. He has nothing more to give, but he was still included in the group.
I've never really seen that before. I've never been given a chance to explore those feelings through media. It made me process my life and my choices. Through Denki's extraordinary situation, I was able to look at my ordinary life more clearly.
Denki was me. Denki was me age 10 missing things in class and thinking I was an idiot. He was me age 14, losing friends because they thought I was ignoring them. He was me age 19 at Uni, hiding under a desk during hand-in because my brain couldn't cope anymore. He was me age 24 realising I had to quit my retail job because I couldn't keep up with the long hours; my seizure count going from 1 a month to 3 a day. He's me age 26 crying as I write this.
Representation matters. Seeing yourself represented let's you understand parts of your life you never got to before. It helps you feel seen, like your struggles matter to other people. Denki isn't perfect, but he’s all we have. And I love him.
I can't even fanthom the sheer CONFIDENCE with which these people qualify RG shippers as gross 30 yo when this ship is just two wholesome children trying their best. There is nothing sexual about it, there's no power imbalance between Oscar & Ruby, they respect each other, they just finger-gun each other or blush a bit. How do they even make that jump to "ew gross" I genuinely CAN'T understand
Also you know they're not even worth it when they outright say "if you see me attack people who are just existing & liking a sweet ship between 2 teenagers, don't call me out." Someone really missed the "having differing likes and preferences doesn't allow you to attack a person" classes uh
Rosegarden Antis: "Why are you always shoving rg in our faces??? You're disgusting and it's inappropriate and you're all toxic!"
Also Rosegarden Antis:
One: *confused 20-year-old noises*
Two: You're telling people to mind their business as you harass and attack rosegarden shippers who are *looks at scribbles on hand* minding their business?
Three: When people call you out on your bullshit, you claim that they "proved your point" and that they're the bad guys for... defending themselves?
Four: This person ALSO did a post asking what people's unpopular RWBY opinions were and added, "No HTDM!" as if they weren't part of it.
clarisse is so achilles because achilles is actually kinda horrible and selfish the whole time but in the end it’s his love for patroclus that shows that he’s just a person after all. clarisse is not nice and she is selfish but she still loved so deeply… 🥺
Okay let’s one thing be clue
I’m never. never. NEVER. N-E-V-E-R angry at the actors.
Yeah, maybe I’m angry at the directors for that they made absolutely shitty movie/ending (ehm ehm russos), yeah, maybe I’m angry at the screenwriters for that they wrote that bullshit, and time to time I’m angry at the character itself, because let’s be honest, they sometimes just DO some stupid things. And that’s a fact.
But I’m never. Nevere never never never never angry at the actors. They didn’t wrote their characters. They can’t change anything. They are just trying they best to do their WORK. And they aren’t their characters (well, with RDJ it’s a little bit more comlicated, but you understand what I want to say). The thing is - actors are just doing their WORK. And if we are angry at the character, love it, hate it or somethnig else, I thnik that doesn’t mean nothing but they are doing their work really good. But it doesn’t giving us the right to be angry at the actors for some stupid shit that character did.
Thank you.
Elisa x Sarah
Iyu remeber my last post? if no, then go to find it, I’ll wait.
done? okay
so, as I said, polite sweet and inncocennt nurse Sarah Rogers is (I think that) gay for cheeky sexy hot badass Elisa Sinclair. But noone else think that and that means...
okay, fine, I’ll doit myself
Elisa x Sarah (e - 61311)
okay, so, you know MARVEL earth 61311? No? Alright, I didn’t know it either. But just - there’s a women, Elisa Sinclair and she helped Sarah and Steve when they was terrorised by Joseph and then helped Sarah to rise her son. And I tought that she is something like Steve’s second mother (cus she is), and then it was just like - may she really was? May she and Sarah was together in secret relationship? crazy, huh? But I think it’s possible- And if you think it’s not, well then, at least they are cute together, those are just facts.
and I think it’s just very interesting idea
BUT I found out that no one else ship them!!! like NO ONE! So, there aren’t any fanworks like fanarts, aesthetics, incorrect quotes etc... I’m propably the only person in whole universe who think that Sarah Rogers may be gay 😭😭😭
and that’s sad 😰😢😖
