The First Set Of Duels All Involve Seeking A Return To A Comfortable Stagnation Or Projection. The Character

reblog to have good concert luck

Any Kevin with aspergers head cannons????

Mr. Infodump.

You get him started on something he’s invested in, he can talk for hours.

Unfortunately, the majority of the Foxes just… do not give a shit.

So, he actually spends most of his Bee time just talking about his interests.

Bee let’s him talk about whatever he wants, it’s his hour.

Sometimes, he’ll rant about Neil or the other Foxes for the entire time, and ends up with a really dry throat afterwards.

He loves his alone time; watching Exy, listening to music, reading.

Sometimes goes mute due to anxiety, and the Foxes interpret it as him giving them the silent treatment…

Doesn’t like conflict, as a rule. He’ll have fights with Neil all the time, but only because Neil is so aggravating when he’s wrong. That’s also why he fought with Seth, a lot.

Other people are just… so stressful?? It’s easier to be alone.

He’d really like to actually be friends with people, though. He wishes Neil was more understanding of his point of view, instead of dismissing him as a coward.

He really wants to be friends with Dan, too, but he also kind of hates her for casting him out.

It’s complicated. He has very complicated emotions towards other people. Sometimes, he can’t tell if he’s being over dramatic or if someone else really is that bad.

He loves calling Thea or Jeremy, because they’re always willing to talk Exy.

He stims! He stims all the time. He loves to bounce his leg or click his fingers. When no one’s around, he shakes a hand or both up and down like a jazz hands motion.

He can’t bounce his leg in the Maserati because it shakes the whole car.

I like the idea of Neil being Autistic, because it’s actually really common for us to not get a long all the time, because your different needs and opinions clash. Trust me, both my brother and I have Asperger’s and we drive each other insane with it.

In this house we love and support Nicholas Hemmick

lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.

Some of you have never thought about Nicky’s PTSD from his time in conversion therapy, and it shows.

homez18 replied to your post “Bravo to your Katsuki is not allowed to be weak (if he is he dies)…”

Eh. The slidhe villain attack made sense considering there legit wasmt anything those heroes could have done to save him. Except for all Might who didn’t want to exert himself until another kid was about to die

List of things the 6+ adult fully fledged pro-heroes could’ve done in the 10-30 minutes they were fucking around while a 14 year old was being murdered in front of them:

Kamui Woods grabs Katsuki by the wrists (so he can’t explode his way out), Backdraft blasts the sludge villain off with bursts of water. It wouldn’t have been perfect, but it could’ve seriously helped. Especially when he’s already been fighting for ages and they don’t have any better options.

Literally any of the heroes could’ve done what Deku did, but on a much larger and more effective scale. They could’ve attacked the eyes of the sludge villain and used their damn hands to scoop as much of the guy off as possible. Again, might not work perfectly, but better than standing there and not doing fucking anything while a 14 year old is fighting for his life.

Mt. Lady said she couldn’t help because it was ‘a single lane road’ and she couldn’t get down it. Fucking fine, have literally any one of the assholes standing around doing nothing move Katsuki or tell Katsuki to move out into the wide open space next to her so she can help! She could very easily scrape large parts of the sludge villain off of Katsuki, with minimal risk to her since she’s too large for the sludge villain to take over.

Death Arms could’ve fucking tried knocking the sludge villain off. Maybe he can’t do all of it like All-Might could, but again, anything is better than nothing and could be the difference between life or death if it buys Katsuki enough time for someone else to get there.

Even barring all the physical actions the heroes could’ve taken, at bare fucking minimum, they could’ve at least tried to talk to Katsuki. He could hear them. They could’ve offered him reassurance / advice / let him know help was on the way. Literally anything but leaving him all on his own.

Deku by all means shouldn’t have gotten involved, as he was a child and it was not his job to try to save Katsuki. That being said, he still did more to save him than literally any of the non-All-Might heroes on the scene.

Speaking of All-Might, while I understand he has his limits on what he can do, he also started this entire damn thing. The Sludge Villain was just stealing a purse, which isn’t great but isn’t life threatening, when All-Might decided to go after him. He escalated the situation, took responsibility for it despite knowing he was near his limits, and then fucked up. While Izuku shouldn’t have grabbed onto him / startled him, All-Might also totally failed to keep track of the villain he’d apprehended. He started this entire thing, and Katsuki was literally a 14 year old about to die in front of him because of it. That should’ve been enough for him to risk doing something on it’s own.

I also promise you if it’d been literally any other 14 year old (ie, just like we saw with Izuku) All-Might wouldn’t have hesitated to save them.

Can you imagine All-Might standing there while a 14 year old Kirishima was being strangled to death in front of him? What about a 14 year old Mina? Even if Mina or Kirishima was kinda fighting back, but still being suffocated, can you honestly see and justify All-Might / all the other involved heroes, just standing back and not trying to do something while these children are murdered in front of them?

tl;dr: The heroes had options and they actively chose to be useless. They weren’t helpless, they were complacent in forcing a 14 year old to fight for his life with no assistance.

This fandom needs more love for Nicky, cuz we all know he’d have more for us

a few years after neil and andrew go pro and the minyard-josten rivalry is put to rest, they decide to come out

the rivalry was fun while it lasted but really, andrew and neil just want to be able to be together without having to pretend that they hate it each other (because they don’t, quite the opposite actually)

so they hold a press conference with a trusted reporter (one neil can actually get along with. there’s only minimal banter) and they reveal to the public that they’re in a relationship, have been since college actually

and there’s a lot of backlash

a lot of bad backlash

it sparks a discussion that not only affects neil and andrew, but affects every single lgbtqia+ player in the league

should homosexuality be allowed in sports?

exy isn’t as bad as football, but it’s still not great for lgbt players. especially players who are out and planning (or are, in andrew and neil’s case) to go pro

neil is FUMING. andrew is a bit disappointed, but mostly irritated. he wanted to be left alone but now he can’t go anywhere without a microphone being shoved into his face

andrew and neil are hounded by press for weeks. when they play, slurs are hurled at them like grenades

they’re not allowed to give interviews after games anymore (reporters don’t care about the game, and put neil josten in front of a camera when he’s already on edge and pissed off and you will dearly regret it. andrew simply flips off every camera he sees, which is also not good)

neil gets benched for two games after punching a reporter in the face after they said something compeletly insensitive

there is even talk circulating about not letting andrew or neil play at all, at least for the rest of the season

it’s really, really bad

kevin told them this would happen. it’s easier to be straight while playing exy. kevin knows this, and he told andrew and neil that this would happen

but they’re his friends, his teammates, his family

and he can’t stand by and listen to the horrible things said to them or let them be kicked out of the league

andrew is the best goalie to ever exist and neil is a phenomenal striker. barring them from exy simply because they are in love just isn’t right

and it’s time for kevin to face some things about himself as well

so when kevin is asked to hold a press conference with all the big-name exy associates, he has never felt so nervous since college when he told the world the truth about his broken hand and who his father really is

kevin walks into the room, lined with reporters and people responsible for every pro team in america. cameras start flashing immediately

this is kevin day, olympic champion kevin day, son of exy kevin day

he’s easily the most influential person in that room. queen

kevin walks through the room of reporters and cameras and ignores all the questions thrown his way like a queen ignores the people below him

“kevin, kevin day, what are your thoughts on teammates minyard and josten coming out? do you support them?”

“do you think they should be allowed to continue playing?”

“answer the question, mr. day.”

and kevin signals out one, single reporter. the man perks up because he, out of all the reporters in the room, has caught the attention of this exy legend

this is live, broadcasted across the entire country, the entire world, even, and everyone is on the edge of their seats because kevin day is about to speak

“kevin day, should lgbt exy players be barred from the game?”

kevin leans in close to the microphone, his eyes never wavering from the camera trained on his face and says:

“i’m bisexual.”

Shigaraki, despite his claims of hatred for hero society, and calling out some of the oppression inherent in the system, is, in fact, no different in his actions. He performatively attempts to be better, but his entire arc is one of replicating abuse rather than making any meaningful attempt to change the system he laments. The clearest example of this is during his kidnapping of Katsuki, where he claimed to offer freedom to Katsuki, but had, in fact, forcibly kidnapped him and held him in chains. While he did remove the chains, claiming Katsuki needed to be treated as an equal, it was an entirely performative action, as he didn't actually let Katsuki refuse him. When Katsuki attempted to, Shigaraki returned to replicating his own abuse by attempting to recapture Katsuki and force him into doing what he wanted. In this essay, I will-

Luke Mullen Appreciation

I know this has been said before, but can we all appreciate the gem that is Luke Mullen?  This kid was minding his own business thinking he was just going to be this minor character, probably not around for much in terms of storytelling.

Imagine being a young actor with no expectations for a role—one of his first, and as that role progressed being asked to be a part of something so huge.  First off, what Terri(and Luke) have done with TJ is amazing, regardless of his sexuality(namely TJ being such a complex and sensitive human).  Seriously, this kid is the king of subtle but impactful facial expressions.    

But secondly, assuming Tyrus ends up being a thing, he’s taken it in such stride.  You hear stories of so many actors(Gavin Macintosh and Hayden Byerly[and to a lesser extent Kalama Epstein] come to mind most immediately for obvious reasons) being asked to take a part of these historic roles, and not only having to carry the weight of what those roles mean, but being comfortable enough with themselves to portray these characters with the gravity they deserve.  Not to mention the actors themselves are so young playing characters that are even younger, it speaks to their maturity.  Obviously we are at a place in society now where variances in sexuality is more accepted and portraying varying sexualities is not as big a deal, but still.  At the end of the day, it’s a huge weight, knowing how much these representations, in such young characters, mean to people.

Luke obviously can’t address it publicly yet, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he was informed that this was where TJ’s character was headed.  Being such a young actor(both in age and experience) and not only being asked to play an LGBT character, but to be a part of such a young historic coupling is a huge deal and he and Josh have carried that weight so incredibly and so respectfully.  People praise Josh all the time and he deserves it, but seriously, Luke is a gem too.  Especially considering how little he’s allowed to talk about it.

Also, on a less serious note, TJ now has 3 lookbacks.  I’m shook.
