Hi, I’m Link and it’s time to talk about my terrible / horrible / amazing taste in men. If you are a bastard who is planning to destroy the world because of your unresolved trauma, please call me. Kiss kiss.

Also I’m tagging @thyandrawrites​ and @inumaqi​ who by law have to do this with me. 

Shigaraki Tomura - MY HERO ACADEMIA

“What I really despise is everything. Everything that breathes pisses me off.”

I like how Shigaraki is severely mentally ill. He’s one of the most raw portrayals of an abuse victim.  He murders his abusive father, and the story takes his side. He develops violent tendencies, he refuses to grow up, he can’t forgive. He’s just holding all of his negative feelings inside of him as he slowly rots inside out, and that’s just great.

Shigaraki is so shaped and moulded by his abuse, but he still chooses who he wants to be. He was literally raised in a basement to be a carbon copy of AFO, and yet he’s so different from AFO it’s obvious he could never live up to his Sensei. He’s too bad of a person to ever be a hero, but he’s also too good of a person to ever be the king of evil and what you get is this really chaotic mess in between.

It’s interested to see who Shigaraki chooses to be, in spite of how much he has been indoctrinated towards a cause and how many choices are taken away from him. Despite being a character with supposedly little agency you can see he always tries to fight for his own agency. Don’t deny me. He can’t be with his family even though he loves them, because they’ll never accept him for who he is. Tenko was a kind boy who played with the bullied kids. Shigaraki fights for the people who would never be saved by hero society because he wasn’t saved. He gives them what he doesn’t have, freedom and a place to belong. It’s an interesting character to see how much of him has become the unpredictable ball of trauma that Shigaraki is, while the core of him Tenko still remains in his humanizing moments of how he interacts with the league. Shigaraki who has so many choices taken from him, chooses to reach out and sympathize with the feelings of others, especially those who have been ostracized the same way he has.

Shigaraki is introduced to us as an inhuman  monster, and we see him slowly work his way back from the edge. We see him regain his humanity by coming to care about the people under his wing. It gives you the message that there’s no such thing as a point of no return.

All of the heroes are good people in mha but that feels more like an informed character trait. We’re supposed to root for them because… they’re the heroes, they’re good. They have to look good because they’re the good guys. Shigaraki is allowed to be ugly and unlikable, he gets worse.  But then he still always chooses to fight for ugly victims like him. I like both sides of him, I like the volatile explosive bomb that just wants to blow up and destroy others, and the gentle way he interacts with the rest of the league.

“I want to beat them. Even though I’m not cool, or strong, or just, or beautiful, or cute, or pretty, I want to beat the cool, strong, just, beautiful, cute, and pretty people. Even though I wasn’t blessed with talent, even though I’m stupid and have a bad personality, have bad grades, am misguided and am a good for nothing, I want to beat the talented, smart, likeable, overachieving people. I want to beat those with friends when I can’t have friends. I want to beat the people who work hard when I can’t work hard. I want to beat the the victorious people when I can’t win. I want to beat the happy people when I’m miserable. Even if I’m hated, even if I’m despised, even if I’m useless, I want to prove that I’m better than the main characters!”

Just a friendly reminder...

That Anakin and Obi-wan….

…Count Dooku…

…Ahsoka Tano…

…General Grievous…

…Darth Maul and Savage Oppress…

…were all bested by this guy.

Tell me if you do this at all people:

Watches a live action show of a book/videogame

Hasn't seen any of the source material and has no idea if the show is good or not or if it's even "loyal" to the source material

Takes a peek at what Tumblr and other social medias say about it before forming an opinion

Secretly like the show itself while everyone else dunks on it, forcing you to hide your shameful positive opinion least you be ostracized by the many fans that want to take their rage out on something for this horrid indignity.

Eventually you absorb the hate and even though you like it you have to hate it.

Sooooo moral of the story is... I dunno. I don't really know where I was going with this but halfway through writing I wonder about something, if I had seen the source material beforehand would I still enjoy a show about it? Would I hate it for not being "loyal" if I had knowledge of every intricate detail of lore and the specific behaviours of each and every character?

Anyway, that my 36 hour of consciousness bored rant, night everybody
