#xless

and here’s why. immediately after this, shig killed x-less and snatched his cape to wrap himself up in it. 

now, obviously, that makes shigaraki the bad guy, right? x-less didn’t deserve to die for simply being here. that’s obvious.

but think about why i can’t help feeling heartbroken for shigaraki. he is cold, and he finds a quick solution because he never experienced the kindness of another person to offer him warmth and comfort..., so he takes care of it himself because this is the only way he knows. he was literally taught to take the things he needs, if need be, with violence because experience taught him not to rely on a helping hand. 

“heroes wear capes to wrap up and protect little girls in pain”  we bring that quote of mirio up a lot in comparison. that’s because there are interesting parallels between tenko and eri. “what if tenko was saved by heroes just how eri was?” but shigaraki isn’t a “victim” to any outsider who experiences him now. he’s an “it” a “thing” a “monster” that needs to be annihilated. that’s why, obviously he will not receive the same kindness. and i am not saying he still wants to be saved. it’s too late for that. 

what if he was lik.e. a villain sympathizer and so shigaraki wakes up and looks at him but x-less doesnt try 2 restrain him and just stares back and shigaraki stares and x-less stares and shgiarkai staares nad xleslkl stares snadn 

x-less just
