【天啊。】 If I Die, Let’s Meet In The Next Lifetime!

The thought has passed me but I think that if u were to die, her first course of action would be to freeze you in ice and then encase you in glass coffin for... viewing pleasure??? Look, she's probably never going to get over your death, honestly, I think she'd be in denial forever, and will drive herself crazy.

Now the family was initially fine with this (not surprising, I know) but when Rei started doing more creepy things to you; like talking to you, doing your hair, reading you stories, they were getting seriously worried f0r her. But I suppose their breaking point was when they found your coffin empty and when they looked around for Rei, they saw her sleeping in bed, cuddling your dead, stiff body to her chest.

They just- felt like you're being disrespected like this.

So, when Dabi and Shotou pull of a confused Rei off you, Enji and his sons share a look and agree. Then without a single word, Enji burns off your body completely, while Rei thrashes around in her sons grip like a possessed demon.

As painful as it is for Rei to watch them burn you, its even more painful for the men. Enji's crying, his hands are shaking as he completely burns you to ashes.

Shotou feels like he'd died twice.

Dabi has this glazed look in his eyes but anyone can tell how heartbroken he is.

group prayer circle for these darling's please bc holy shit 😔😔🙏

izaya - you start off every night with your trust tylenol or advil. maybe both. this man is giddy when he slithers into bed next to you, ready to share the icky details of his recent activities. it's like high school gossip but infinitely worse because you know everything he's saying is true. you'll end up knowing the dirty business of everyone in the city by midnight. izaya doesn't have anyone else to share his developing plots with, so even if you're an unwilling listener, you will listen. sometimes you end up sick to your stomach with pity when overhearing what's in store for some of these people, all the while izaya laughs. at least you're spared from a fate like that since you earned his favor, you guess.

chrollo - chrollo has a thing for trying to force a domestic relationship, so sleeping in the same bed is a must. you've tried falling asleep on the couch or floor to be spiteful, but it doesn't matter; you always wake up right next to him. he's either reading at night or trying to strike up a conversation. pretending to be asleep doesn't work either, he can tell if you're being genuine or not by your breathing. it's real creepy. chrollo has a habit of sneaking up close to you as the night progresses, then acting ignorant when you call him out on it. his favorite thing to do is stroke the length of your arm up and down, admiring the goosebumps appearing on your skin. you can feel the weight of his stare. it doesn't help that all the nightclothes he gives you are sheer or scant.

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

you can feel bad for someone and still hold them accountable for their actions. having compassion for someone breaks the cycle of ill-will and violence. for example, instead of sending dabi, someone who suffered childhood trauma, to rot in jail where mental health has a tendency to further decline, approaching him with empathy, or at least non-judgment, allows for more options to deal with him, like psychotherapy, etc. understanding that his brain chemistry has been shaped by abuse allows us to understand why he's doing what he's doing. it doesn't excuse his actions, but gives a reason that humanizes him.

like, i do feel bad for tenko's father even though he abused his family, because his actions came from a place of hurt. he was projecting his unsolved trauma. was he justified? of course not. but understanding him and his trauma helps me understand the trauma he put onto his family. he wasn't some demonic asshole doing evil maliciously. i know that hurt people hurt people, so i see kotaro as a hurt person. the same with hawks' mother. i even can understand why endeavor did what he did to his family - it was that deep seated sense of inadequacy, frustration, and desperation to leave a mark on this earth that drove him to ruin his family. does this excuse him? no, but it's a reason and it helps me realize he's literally not satan or some other non-human entity. he's just another person reacting to his feelings.

feeling empathy or compassion or approaching someone with non-judgment is important, especially when discussing mentally ill offenders and the justice system. would you want a judge or jury to sentence you based on their beliefs of your character/actions or based on the evidence? would you want your doctor to treat you based on your symptoms, or based on your appearance or person? if they judged you based on how fat you are, how rich you look, your smoke and drug use history, your driving record, your political affiliation etc?

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

1st of February, 2021

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

Actually, I had a post that discusses this in the works already, so I’ll address it here:

You can’t condemn Dabi killing 30 people and in the same breath say that Hawks had no choice in killing Twice or that he did it for the “greater good.” And if you do, ask yourself why? Why does Twice’s life not matter?

I want everyone who makes the claim that “Hawks killing Twice to prevent even more destruction and loss of innocent life” to really, truly understand what that means. Because the point is right there in that sentence – Prevent. 

When you say “prevent” you’re admitting that Hawks killed Twice for a crime he had yet to commit. He acted as judge, jury and executioner before the trial could ever commence. Twice was guilty of other crimes, many others, but he was killed for the sole possibility of what he might do with his quirk. Hawks states this point-blank.

You can dance around the truth with discussions of heroes vs villains, altruism vs utilitarianism, whatever you want. Here is the heart of the matter:

Twice was killed because his quirk was deemed too dangerous should he utilize its full potential against the heroes. Twice was born with this quirk. So Twice was killed for the sheer, simple fact that he existed. 

If you don’t think that’s wrong, I don’t know what to tell you. And would you agree if we applied this logic to other characters?

Toga has proven that in a pinch Ochako’s quirk can be used to kill multiple people at once with hardly any effort at all. Controlling gravity with a mere touch can be incredibly deadly. Should the heroes kill her to prevent her from ever using it in this way? No?

So why kill Twice?

Eraserhead can cancel out other quirks. If he ever turned against the heroes, even if only temporarily, it would be very difficult for anyone to stop him because of his advantage against other quirks. Do they kill him to prevent this? No?

So why kill Twice?

Shinsou can use mind-control and spoke at length about how the fear of his quirk has made people avoid him, even though he’s never given anyone reason to be afraid. But what if he did decide to use it against people? Or what if he was forced to? Do they kill him to prevent this possibility? No?

So why kill Twice?

Furthermore, the “greater good” is a nebulous, subjective thing that holds no argumentative value when you can apply it to literally any character. You could say, “Well, yes, Dabi has killed 30 people, but that was so the reveal that he was Endeavor’s son and the product of his abuse would more impactful on the public. This impact forces the public to think more critically about the hero system and how flawed it is. Society has to institute massive reforms to placate the growing criticism and calls for action. Reforms prevent the creation of more villains and begin to rehabilitate existing ones so this lowers the chance of recidivism. His actions, while heinous, lead to a better outcome for society as a whole. So it’s sad but in the long run it was better for everyone else and it actually protected more innocent people, so it’s okay he killed those 30 people.” 

Would you excuse it then? No? 

Then why jump through mental hoops to excuse Hawks for the murder of Twice? Heroes aren’t supposed to kill people in BNHA, period. The manga has established this since day one. So if Hawks kills Twice, but you say that’s justified, then what you’re actually saying is his life had no value.

And Toga is right to be afraid! Justifying the death of Twice is a slippery slope. You say, “Well, he was a criminal.” But how do you define a criminal? Who gets to decide who’s a criminal and who is not? In the BNHA universe, hell, you’re a criminal for using your quirk in public without permission from the government. Which the kids in Class-A did to rescue Bakugo! Do they deserve to be stripped of their rights? 

What if you have a dangerous quirk? There’s plenty of heroes and civilians that do. One mistake or wrong move and they could end up like these people:

…or should we not consider them people, because of the abilities they inherited at birth?

My final note is at the end of the day, this is a story and the characters are not real. Who you root for is your prerogative! You can like Hawks and not really care for Twice, so his death doesn’t bother you. You can like Dabi and have no connection to the nameless, non-characters he killed and thus not particularly care that he did so. Nothing is wrong with preferences and nobody has any control over who/what resonates with you on a personal level.
