#personal crud

Firstly, y’all need to chill (and honestly stop attacking mangaka for shit you just want to be social justice warriors about, stop it *bats with newspapers* now)

No where, and I do mean no where (since I just binge read this whole thing) was shown that Todoroki family forgive Endeavor or excuse his past behavior.

Second, what you all need to understand is that relationships, abusive or not, are not so fucking simple. You need to realize personal experiences and various events that time throws at characters makes them take different actions (because woah holy shit nothing stays still and the same, things change, what a concept, right?)

1. This isn’t a redemption arc for Endeavor. Nothing will redeem his actions. Nothing will change what he did to his wife and kids for a goal that is now gone. This is about him for reasons Hawks mentions, the fact that he IS now number one, that all hope people have lay on his shoulder now and not Allmight’s any more. His goal was to be number one or secure his offspring to be powerful. He is now number one but not through his plan of being a damn hothead egomaniac but actually because people NEED him. He now has to act for others, again, just like Hawks said. And he did. Not hard to understand. (Thanks Villy for pointing this out)

2. Him sending flowers to his mentally sick wife is not him asking for forgiveness. It’s showing he cares but knowing he can’t fix anything, it’s why he respects the boundaries and doesn’t disturb her. He just wants her to know he’s changing to a more understanding person but also knowing the damage was already done. So relax, she’s not gonna go running into his arms like nothing happened. As she said, she is mentally scarred and can’t see him nor is it a good idea. And he understands. However, he had a chance to approach Shouto. He tried. Shouto gave him a cold shoulder. Endeavor didn’t pursue further. He then just shown support from afar because Shouto really doesn’t need him.

3. His kids obviously hold a grudge still and with a reason. Again, don’t worry, it’s like they will just suddenly forget about it. Forgiving is another thing and that will fully depend on them. Please remember that not all abusive relationships and standpoints are the same. I’m not saying they should forgive him, heck no... he honestly doesn’t deserve it, in my opinion. He also doesn’t deserve to be killed. Jail... yeah maybe if setting wasn’t the way it is. Also story telling factor. Why do you all keep forgetting this is fiction...

4. Speaking of fiction as a factor here, please realize the issue is not about Horikoshi presenting characters unrealistically if they were part of abuse but that the only unrealistic thing about this is abuser changing for better (big thanks to Doomsy who also has an abusive father for insight on all of this matter really, it helps me, and hopefully you, understand things a little better). Story wise, we honestly don’t need a character who isn’t even a true villain (but would count as antagonist at first) but just a grumpy dumb narcissistic father to stick around in the story, it’s fucking pointless. We all know in real life things don’t work out that way or that simply. Keeping that aspect of Endeavor in the story leads nowhere and actually giving him a chance to change for better is a good opportunity for the current events in the story and even character development, even for Shouto and not just the persistent flame dad. As said above, his selfish goal was reached by means he didn’t want and realized how there are more things than just being the fucking best and having a cool kid to be the best too. What IS realistic is for people to have their viewpoints completely changed by simple events. It’s what happened to him. The reason it’s positive is because it’s more interesting than just forgetting an actual important side character and not giving him a chance to grow at all. It’s okay, you don’t have to care but some readers might, please be insightful about it.

5. Abused don’t have to necessarily hate abusers. Hating a lot of aspects about the person that abuses you is what normally happens. People can still love the said person even if they were abused by them. Surprisingly for you, tumblr folks, nothing is that simple. No person is JUST evil. I met a lot of people who do abuse my friends but were pretty chill and understanding with me. I don’t excuse their actions because of that, I just know it’s not that fucking simple (and this might not be the best example but you get the gist of not everything is so black and white). They have their own reasons, even good ones sometimes but approach it with such horrible ways and manner it results with abuse. But it’s so much easier to label someone, huh? Too bad, life doesn’t function that way. Shouto shown he still cares for his father. I thought you fans would know what a kind kid he is and how understanding he is too. He would never want his father dead. He doesn’t forgive and forget the abuse but he doesn’t want his father gone for good and forever because of it. He just wants to grow without him around and that is the most fair thing all abused people want. Just to be happy and grow, not think about hate because it’s fucking pointless and brings unhappiness.

6.... no, got nothing more, just me wondering why everyone is so hateful and against positive growth of a fictional character. Are you all really that certain absolutely no one, even in real life, doesn’t deserve to change for better but you prefer to have them being terrible and bring more equally stupid decisions as before? And again, for a character that’s not even a villain but an important side hero character? What the hell man...

I have idea more or less (but not confidence) that I can pull off everything on time but it's without any room for a break. I need to finish and read/study things I need for exams next monday, after that I'm in a clear and just have to prep, print and study one subject by friday. Chibicon lasts 3 days plus an evening on day before so I have no idea how I'll pull off at least 15 more small paintings, a larger fully done painting and a study for psychology for these 3 days. After chibicon the exams are in the morning so I will have time to study during that week in the afternoon and evenings while also doing tidbits for other exams that week. Then that weekend, a new semester starts in manga workshop which means extra work with possible new students and new lessons for the old ones. With that, our school break is over and im monday morning next semester starts...

if I'm troubling you in any sense or way to the point that it's ruining your mood/health/overall experience and existence then just move on, it's fine, it's not like I'm the same person anyway and I'll just wish you all the best on your way forward and that's it

I'm fairly content with the idea that people, friends and family will not see me or threat me the same way again because it would be unrealistic to do so and nor do I want them to

Putting it under read more since I’ll be on about my body and probably unusual viewpoints of it so if the subject of body and looks stresses you, better not read into it~
