Black Lives Matter

that’s how he is about all his people, and he is aware that Ed is underage so anything really bad happening to him is more fucked up than it happening to adults, even if he handles it better than most adults would.

Kidnapper: We have your son.

Roy: I don’t have children.

Kidnapper: We have the short angry blonde in the red coat.

Kidnapper: *near tears* I’m…I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken the kid. Please, please take him back!

Roy: Hmmm judging by your tone, you know exactly what kind of person he is. I’m not sure I want to take him back. At least, not for free. Equivalent Exchange and all that.

Kidnapper: You’re counter ransoming me?! You can’t do that!

Roy: You’re clearly not in the mood to negotiate. I’m gonna hang up right now and give you a little time to be in a calmer state of mind, okay? Okay.

Kidnapper: No wait plea-

They should, but that's not my point. He is treated like a force of nature - it's not the tsunami's fault everyone died, it's the people who didn't build proper safety measures.

Like. That's such a Vimes way of looking at things. And much like him, she doesn't let her cynicism stop her from doing her job, she uses it as fuel. She doesn't have the same ties to Ankh-Morpork that Vimes does, but she's fiercely loyal to Carrot, who effectively *is* the city.

And the bit at the end of men at arms where Carrot himself explains to Vetinari why it shouldn't be him commanding the watch - people should follow orders because they're given by a commanding officer, not because they're given by Carrot. Angua doesn't have that charisma that makes people like her and do what she says; she just has intelligence and willpower and a good, disillusioned understanding of how people work. Not to mention all the thematic parallels we see between her and vimes and their struggles with restraining their inner beast (literal or metaphorical).

Idk, it seems such an obvious choice to me. I think if Vimes ever managed to actually retire, the only person in whose hands (paws?) he'd be comfortable leaving the watch would be her.

Here is a good demonstration of one of Uraraka’s greatest strengths. She’s a flexible thinker. When something doesn’t work for her, she tries another path towards her goals.

It makes her stand out among most of the cast, who tend to think more rigidly (regardless of whether they are hero or villain characters, this seems to be a common character flaw)

And this is also a good example of how the Izuocha friendship helps Izuku grow as a character. Because Izuku can be very rigid. And it makes sense why he would be this hard headed growing up in a society that offered him no way forward to reach his goals.

happy pride y’all! ^_^ 🏳️‍🌈💖
