All Might: TEXAS SMASH!

Uhm.. Actually, you can be. There's a lot of people who are honest when answering that question. They just do it in ways that don't come across so upsetting or depressing.

Many people sugarcoat their answers to be more palatable for a greeting, or for a start of a conversation. It can also just be a polite way of giving others an out for a potential depressing conversation they may not want to be a part of.

These responses usually come in forms like, - "How are you?/How's it going?" - "Could be better." "It's definitely going." "I'm still alive." "I'm getting there." "New day, new problems." "Well, I'm still here." "Same old." "It's not all sunshine." "It's moving along". "It is what it is." "Not great but I'll survive." "Hoping tomorrow comes quickly." And many more responses like this. These are all ways of basically saying "Things are kinda/very shit at the moment for me". But they just don't go into detail about it. They are being honest, without the extra information.

If the other person doesn't want to go further into this then they may just responed with something like "I feel you", or "That's relatable", or "Yeh, that's life". Which are basically ways of saying "I acknowledge things aren't easy right now", without having to go into a conversation about it. Not everyone has the emotional energy to deal with conversations like that in that moment and that's okay.

❌ “historians will call them friends” devalues historians and forces complex relationships into modern simplicities, also devalues friendship/platonic forms of love

It took me a long time to consider this but I have finally landed on Hairo Kineshi.

A sporty and very intense girl who everyone respects and admires without being physically attracted to her. People love her and give her chocolates on valentine's day out of gratitude, but don't want to date her or expect romantic attention from her. She can command a room and easily motivate people, she is listened to by everyone regardless of gender. She does things for others all the time but isn't a helpless doormat. The only possibly stereotypical thing, I guess, would be the gay allegations considering she's an athletic girl and this can be a stereotype, but I still think she would be a pretty boundary breaking character!

I'm not sure about controversial though, I think people would really love fem Hairo. I know I would! And, I did mention that her being possibly implied lesbian would maybe be stereotypical, but there are still lots of people like that and I think it would still be great representation considering how respected this character is. Besides, I don't know how stereotypical it would be in Japanese culture since I don't really know what gay stereotypes are over there.

Eva Stratt, meanwhile, is a stain. Graffiti tucked away in alleys and under bridges, forever painted over by the powers that be. A name meant to be forgotten. Stratt has always known this was part of the deal: after all, humanity needs a villain just as much as it needs its heroes. The best she can hope for is to be erased entirely on Earth.
