You can do it mama bear! Keep doing what you’re doing <3 <3 <3
if u reblog this in ten seconds, stylish organization skills and educational motivation will come to you, but only if you post “study hard, mom” in this thread.
Oh boy, did that get your attention? Well it should.
So let me give you all some context before I begin. Since I’m traveling right now, I haven’t been super much keeping up with the spoilers or the discussions behind it so I’ve been kinda chilling until my friend mentioned to me how she was upset by this past chapter. Naturally, my curious little butt wanted to know what people were saying and I’m frankly…a bit upset at some of the reactions for this past chapter. Well maybe saying upset is a bit of an understatement.
To briefly recap, this past chapter Endeavor was seen unconscious and/or dying with a wound over his left eye, which is an homage to the burn Shouto has
Of course, since it was broadcasted on live TV, everyone saw it, including his family
(Can I just interrupt and say that Enji and Rei created such a beautiful boi? Say what you want but they got those good genes 👌🏻)
Either way, this moment had immense shock value and created more of a conflicting feeling within Shouto and his family, which ties into the Todoroki family “redemption” arc. And whether or not this was an appropriate tactic to take, its dependent on the future events that Horikoshi wants to take.
Of course, some people reacted in a way that created discussions and that’s not what I’m referring to. What I’m referring to are the people who like to say “HE DESERVED” and “KILL HIM BITCH” and “KARMAS A BITCH HUH, ENDEAVOR” and “DONT LET US FEEL BAD FOR HIM HORIKOSHI, FUCKING KILL HIM” and if you think for one second I’m exaggerating with this, then either you’re doing it or you haven’t seen the chats and tags that show this animalistic view point. For the sake of privacy, I won’t show screenshots but you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about when you see it.
Frankly, if you’re one of those people, then maybe you shouldn’t be reading this manga because it’s clear you’re not understanding the content that Horikoshi is trying to convey.
Now I’m not going to sit here and say that Endeavor is a good person and that you should like him. What he did to his family was awful and caused a lot of issues with Shouto that required Izuku to break that mold during their fight
And one thing to consider is the function that Endeavor’s character type had in the beginning or at least when he was introduced. When we view the heroes in the beginning, we are shown that they not only want to help others, but they have high morals. They are seen to be just and righteous and basically what the epitome of a hero should be
But the thing is, with Endeavor, Horikoshi designed him specifically not to fit that mold of the typical hero we see. We see that he’s ambitious, he views the hero spot as a ranking, he is willing to undergo quirk compatibility marriage for the hope that he will create a perfect suitor, and then proceeds to undergo harsh training for his son when his quirk is revealed. Endeavor shows that heroes aren’t always these morally just people and that there are some that are glorified while doing crappy things
Now, for this arc that’s been happening, Horikoshi has been breaking the mold and giving Endeavor the chance for redemption. For the first time, he told his son that he was proud of him
And he gave flowers to his wife that not only were her favorites but showed that he has come to visit her within the time that he has placed her there
Of course, by no means do these actions mean that he should be forgiven, that he should be glorified, that it automatically excuses everything he’s done in the past. Because by no means do these automatically mean that he’s suddenly this amazing person. He still has his faults but this is a part of the redemption that Horikoshi is putting him through. He’s learning that what he’s done is wrong and that he heavily affected his family in such a negative way and those little bits are the first steps towards his own personal redemption.
So exactly why is there this reaction of “DIE BITCH” to a character that is undergoing through an arc that is not only affecting him but his own family? Why the hell is there this reaction? Like what possible reason is there for this shallow aggression and saying that he deserves to die?
I mean, y’all are acting like he shot Shouto ten fucking times and murdered the rest of his family and even worse things than a criminal here in America. Like y’all are acting as if he’s beyond hope and beyond redemption and beyond even growing as a god damn character.
And it’s hilarious too because most of y’all condemn him like the devil but then turn around and say how Katsuki is such a son, such a good boy, oh he’s the absolute best, oh him yelling is just s O preCIOUS.
Listen, I love Katsuki with all the fibers of my being. He’s a complex character and seeing him grow has been an absolute blessing and I genuinely love him so much. However, he’s done some shit to that also gets into the realm of being abusive.
Like did you all suddenly forget how he got his friends to beat Midoriya in the beginning??
Did y’all forget that he told Midoriya to jump off the school building?
Did y’all forget how terrified Midoriya was in the beginning whenever he just merely saw Katsuki???
And did y’all also forget the attitude he had towards Izuku during their first fight?
And their second fight??
Oh I’m certain y’all did.
However, throughout the manga, Katsuki was given the chance to redeem himself and to learn that his own attitudes have consequences and have hurt others in his past. Despite the bad things he’s done in his past towards Midoriya, he’s been given the chance to redeem himself and show those beautiful qualities he has been sharing
So the biggest question I have is: why is a character like Katsuki allowed and is glorified having a redemption arc but Endeavor isn’t? Why does Katsuki get a chance to change but with Endeavor, he’s told to die and that he’s beyond ever changing nor should he be allowed to?
The age difference isn’t a good argument because since he was a little kid, Katsuki has had this attitude towards Izuku and is only slightly changing due to the fact he was encouraged to act that way. The motives behind their abuse aren’t good because there’s no good reason why you would abuse your family or tell a young boy to kill himself. Maturity isn’t a factor because Katsuki told Izuku that when he was at a competent age and understood the complications of what he said.
So exactly why does Katsuki get an open pass, a pass that allows him to redeem himself for what he’s done in the past but Endeavor gets people saying that they hope he dies and to not be given a chance in the manga to redeem himself? Why does Katsuki allow for people to discuss his development and is known to be discussed as complex but god forbid Endeavor is seen as a character that is more than just an evil person?
Of course, I’m not asking these questions to tell everyone to start hating on Katsuki and start loving on Endeavor. Absolutely not. Despite me writing all of this, I still am not the biggest fan of Endeavor and view him to be a meme and I don’t expect people to start bowing down to him. That’s not what I’m pointing out.
What I’m pointing out is the hypocrisy of people who bow down to Katsuki and praise him like there’s no tomorrow but shun and belittle Endeavor and basically reduce him to a one dimensional character that has no way of turning into someone more complex. I’m calling out this culture in this fandom that allows for certain characters to be on a pedestal and some other to be thrown into the dirt despite similarities. Whether you like it or not, both of these two abused people in a way that affected someone negatively. Yet, one of them gets to be in this spotlight and glorified both in and out of manga but the other has people chanting for his death and saying that he only deserves to die and that what he’s doing to change isn’t good.
Again, feel free to not like Katsuki or Endeavor or both really. Opinions matter and it’s always good to discuss. However, I want to call out those who have a one dimensional view of Endeavor and refuse to analyze and discuss the growth of his character as the manga progresses. Just as Katsuki deserves to be discussed and not thrown to the ground, Endeavor’s character should ignite in depth conversations and I’m kinda grossed that people have been jumping on this bandwagon of simplicity and refuse to look at him in a different mold despite doing that for other characters. Like I’m actually really disappointed in the reactions of people in this past chapter and I really want to question each of you why have a reaction like that to Endeavor but not to others who have done bad things in the manga? What really makes them so different?
TLDR: In this new chapter, instead of discussing the complexity of the situation, you find people chanting death threats towards Endeavor and hoping that he dies like a little bitch without the chance of redemption.
Yona recognizing Hak’s tendency to suppress his serious emotions after chapter 91, and realizing that just because Hak seems okay, doesn’t mean he is okay. And now this time, when the two of them are once again facing a highly painful/stressful situation with Yun and the dragons being held captive and having to see Suwon, Yona offers him the emotional support she now knows he needs deep down. Even Hak seems surprised she could tell, and that she was offering him support even while being a mess herself.
I love how most of the progress in their relationship is simply them learning how to take care of one another. Like Hak learning not to be so overprotective, or to keep his space. And now Yona’s learned Hak’s not actually as put-together as he tries to be for her sake, and is taking steps to prevent him from stewing and stewing his emotions till they explode again.
