Who are you to talk about friendship?

Prompt by @ironicreality

I’ve been writing out entire chapters for the last two, so let’s go for an actual prompt this time.

Derision is a bad episode for multiple reasons. But the nastiest one are the fumbling retcons and how they effect the characters.

And Marinette is no exception. See, because while the writing team *really* wanted to give Marinette an excuse for all her stalking, they also made her into one of the worst friend’s imaginable.’

Yep; all those stories about Marinette getting betrayed by her ungrateful friends, and she’d canonically be like at least some of those salt-fic caricatures of the cast.

Because until Season Five, we had no idea about Socqueline. This kind girl who sacrificed and suffered for Marinette’s sake.

This downright heroic person who was supposed to be Marinette’s shield in school and who was expelled before she could graduate. This precious friend of Marinette’s- who she *never so much as mentions* for four and a half seasons.

Can you imagine standing up for a younger friend in school against a dangerous girl with the power of the state behind her? Then suffering an expulsion right before you were supposed to Graduate- which probably meant that you had to beg another school to accept you to do so and forget about getting into a good one with the Mayor fucking you over.

Then to add insult to injury: your younger friend just ghosts you for ten months while you’re pulling your life back together?

So here’s the prompt:

—

Marinette meets Socqueline for the first time in nearly a year. Socqueline isn’t happy to see her.

MHA is like those webtoons where the kids are always fighting and it's just like "where are the adults??" (like Weak Hero) except the adults are right there and just doing basically nothing.

Thank goodness im not the only one

shipping renkaza fucking sucks because you either get people who hate real enemies to lovers and call it toxic or pr*ship because they actually are enemies who want to kill each other instead of friends who bicker sometimes (these people are the weakest link and will not survive the winter)

or you get people who do ship it but only in the gooner dumbing-it-down-to-hardcore-porn way where they romanticize and get off to abuse and r*pe (these people are just gross sick individuals and i hope they go extinct)

and the few people who do see the emotional depth in the homoerotic minutes renkaza spent together and the potential in that for top tier doomed yaoi are few and far in between and i rarely find good fics that aren't just insanely ooc porn

Arbitrarily and at the last minute deciding I want to draw my GIRLS for GIRLWEEK

I just realized something about BNHA that I'm sure nobody on here talked about yet.

The show suffers from a protagonist centered morality.

Izuku or to a lesser extent those that're on the side of the heroes, are always seen as in the right and that anything going against that is automatically in the wrong and should be called out. Even if the other side makes a good point about something.

Take Eri and the reporters for example. The reporters raise good points about Bakugou and how irresponsible UA is, but are told "na nuh!" By Aizawa and it just ends at that.

Then Eri... She literally went from one place who used her power to another. It literally falls into "It's okay if WE do it!" even though this is supposed to be a story meant to point out the flaws in society but gets onto anyone who dares try to say anything bad about it!

God even after all this time BNHA still makes my blood boil!!

People need to talk about this more.

Good and bad in MHA has less to do with morality and more to do with who are the heroes and who are the villains. Which could have been a GREAT setup, only for Horikoshi to never talk about it.

Any time ANYONE has a point, they are immediately discredited or brushed aside. Like Izuku dismissing what Dabi said by defending Endeavor as his mentor. For this to come from our protagonist of all people that late in the game? It not only ignores something blatantly being called out, it also makes our protagonist look worse. Instead of addressing and amending the propaganda he set up, Horikoshi repeatedly reinforces it for some reason.

(This is a repeated problem with Izuku especially. He's such a blank prop that never got the development he deserves that any critiques about the world around him go right over his head. It's actually bittersweet that in the epilogue he is starting to come to a realization because no it's too late)

I've talked many times about how the LOV regressed into irredeemable monsters to make their suffering and the points they made meaningless. Spinner suffered from this the worst. He was the member of the LOV who didn't crave destruction and wanted to change things, only to forgo all of that in the Final War.

To watch all this happen when I used to love MHA is just so disappointing
