Trying To Prove A Point To The Boys At School

The real unsung hero in AFTG was Nickys high school teacher who saw how depressed he was becoming and decided that he needed to be as far away from his parents as he could get.

Eh. The slidhe villain attack made sense considering there legit wasmt anything those heroes could have done to save him. Except for all Might who didn’t want to exert himself until another kid was about to die

List of things the 6+ adult fully fledged pro-heroes could’ve done in the 10-30 minutes they were fucking around while a 14 year old was being murdered in front of them:

Kamui Woods grabs Katsuki by the wrists (so he can’t explode his way out), Backdraft blasts the sludge villain off with bursts of water. It wouldn’t have been perfect, but it could’ve seriously helped. Especially when he’s already been fighting for ages and they don’t have any better options.

Literally any of the heroes could’ve done what Deku did, but on a much larger and more effective scale. They could’ve attacked the eyes of the sludge villain and used their damn hands to scoop as much of the guy off as possible. Again, might not work perfectly, but better than standing there and not doing fucking anything while a 14 year old is fighting for his life.

Mt. Lady said she couldn’t help because it was ‘a single lane road’ and she couldn’t get down it. Fucking fine, have literally any one of the assholes standing around doing nothing move Katsuki or tell Katsuki to move out into the wide open space next to her so she can help! She could very easily scrape large parts of the sludge villain off of Katsuki, with minimal risk to her since she’s too large for the sludge villain to take over.

Death Arms could’ve fucking tried knocking the sludge villain off. Maybe he can’t do all of it like All-Might could, but again, anything is better than nothing and could be the difference between life or death if it buys Katsuki enough time for someone else to get there.

Even barring all the physical actions the heroes could’ve taken, at bare fucking minimum, they could’ve at least tried to talk to Katsuki. He could hear them. They could’ve offered him reassurance / advice / let him know help was on the way. Literally anything but leaving him all on his own.

Deku by all means shouldn’t have gotten involved, as he was a child and it was not his job to try to save Katsuki. That being said, he still did more to save him than literally any of the non-All-Might heroes on the scene.

Speaking of All-Might, while I understand he has his limits on what he can do, he also started this entire damn thing. The Sludge Villain was just stealing a purse, which isn’t great but isn’t life threatening, when All-Might decided to go after him. He escalated the situation, took responsibility for it despite knowing he was near his limits, and then fucked up. While Izuku shouldn’t have grabbed onto him / startled him, All-Might also totally failed to keep track of the villain he’d apprehended. He started this entire thing, and Katsuki was literally a 14 year old about to die in front of him because of it. That should’ve been enough for him to risk doing something on it’s own.

I also promise you if it’d been literally any other 14 year old (ie, just like we saw with Izuku) All-Might wouldn’t have hesitated to save them.

Can you imagine All-Might standing there while a 14 year old Kirishima was being strangled to death in front of him? What about a 14 year old Mina? Even if Mina or Kirishima was kinda fighting back, but still being suffocated, can you honestly see and justify All-Might / all the other involved heroes, just standing back and not trying to do something while these children are murdered in front of them?

tl;dr: The heroes had options and they actively chose to be useless. They weren’t helpless, they were complacent in forcing a 14 year old to fight for his life with no assistance.

kevin calling wymack dad? love it. kevin begins to call him dad often enough that the foxes accidentally do it too? LOVE that. i feel like kevin might be embarrassed about calling him dad in front of the others at first, but then they would all call him dad to make him feel better. bonus points if someone says "coach dad"

supporting kevin as he figures out how to have a dad is so important and good thank u for thisImagine how Wymack gets choked up the first time he hears Kevin call him “Dad.” It’s too fast and too loud because Kevin had to psyche himself up to do it and everyone stares for a second because Kevin just shouted the word “DAD” across the courtKevin’s face is bright red and he knows he was planning to say something after that but he can’t rememberWymack coughs and makes sure his expression is properly grumpy and says, calm as he can, “Yeah, son?”(They get back to practice but Renee pauses to clasp Kevin’s arm on her way to the goal) (ALSO once all the Foxes are used to calling Wymack dad they do it all the time. The Foxes lying around the meeting room thing in the court while Wymack is trying to get work done in his office and just going “Dad. Dad. Coach Dad. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Dad come out here,”Wymack stomps into the room, shaking a fistful of papers, and shouts that only one of them is actually related to him so they all can get out and leave him alone. He grumbles at them to eat a proper dinner before they go. Can’t have his athletes falling over in the middle of a game because they don’t know how to feed themselves.They’re annoying, but they’re his kids, so what can he do?)

14th November 2018

I need to fucking go off on one because this is a load of barnacles:

After Kevin tells Wymack he’s his father, no one asks Kevin if he’s OK.

No, “that must’ve been really hard for you, Kev, let us know if we can do anything,” no, “hey, that was really brave of you,” no, “I hope you and coach will work this out together.”

Nothing.

Dan talks to him, except she’s pissed off at him for hurting Wymack, which of course I understand, and yes, Wymack’s feelings are important, too, but Dan, babe, can you put yourself in Kevin’s place for a hot second?

It even says in the book that Matt had to talk her out of hitting Kevin where bruises would show, what the fuck? And after they talk, Dan goes and sits on Matt’s lap, AND KEVIN GOES AND SITS ON THE OUTSKIRTS ALONE. Like he’s being punished for being a complex human being.

He doesn’t even talk for 20 pages! He says nothing from the moment they decide to go to the cabin to the beginning of the next chapter!

Kevin needed someone that trip, and as per usual he was let down, because he’s evil trash, I guess, and doesn’t deserve to be understood or empathised with, apparently.

My boi was done fucking dirty in general, but I’m genuinely so angry about this.

Luke Mullen Appreciation

I know this has been said before, but can we all appreciate the gem that is Luke Mullen?  This kid was minding his own business thinking he was just going to be this minor character, probably not around for much in terms of storytelling.

Imagine being a young actor with no expectations for a role—one of his first, and as that role progressed being asked to be a part of something so huge.  First off, what Terri(and Luke) have done with TJ is amazing, regardless of his sexuality(namely TJ being such a complex and sensitive human).  Seriously, this kid is the king of subtle but impactful facial expressions.    

But secondly, assuming Tyrus ends up being a thing, he’s taken it in such stride.  You hear stories of so many actors(Gavin Macintosh and Hayden Byerly[and to a lesser extent Kalama Epstein] come to mind most immediately for obvious reasons) being asked to take a part of these historic roles, and not only having to carry the weight of what those roles mean, but being comfortable enough with themselves to portray these characters with the gravity they deserve.  Not to mention the actors themselves are so young playing characters that are even younger, it speaks to their maturity.  Obviously we are at a place in society now where variances in sexuality is more accepted and portraying varying sexualities is not as big a deal, but still.  At the end of the day, it’s a huge weight, knowing how much these representations, in such young characters, mean to people.

Luke obviously can’t address it publicly yet, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he was informed that this was where TJ’s character was headed.  Being such a young actor(both in age and experience) and not only being asked to play an LGBT character, but to be a part of such a young historic coupling is a huge deal and he and Josh have carried that weight so incredibly and so respectfully.  People praise Josh all the time and he deserves it, but seriously, Luke is a gem too.  Especially considering how little he’s allowed to talk about it.

Also, on a less serious note, TJ now has 3 lookbacks.  I’m shook.
