The Entire Dynamic Between The Monsters Can Be Summed Up As Andrew And Neil On The Roof Intensely Soul

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-

Started rereading the Hunger Games series and I feel like it’s so overlooked how in 74th and 75th Hunger Games, we don’t know every Tribute’s names, with Katniss only referring to them by their District numbers but in TBOSAS, we knew every single Tribute by name. We associated them with the clothes they wore on the Reaping Day and Suzanne even goes so far as to describe how they looked, however briefly. We see these Tributes and we’re familiarized with them by the little tidbits provided to the mentors and to Snow and Lucy Gray. But we never get this in the original trilogy.

In two generations, President Snow alienated the Districts from each other so much that Katniss didn’t even care to know all the names of the Tributes sent into the Arena with her, with the exception being those who posed great risk against her safety and those she felt great compassion for (e.g. Cato, Thresh, Rue, Mags, Betee, Wiress etc.). Katniss even went so far as to call the D6 Tributes in the 75th Hunger Games morphlings, for their affinity to imbibe in the drugs that help them forget their own traumas (an incredibly hurtful description, in my own opinion, to be known by the qualities you hate the most about yourself). We never know the real name of the 74th D5 girl, with Katniss only referring to her as Foxface and we don’t even know Marvel’s name until we get to the second book and he was Katniss’ first personal kill. Katniss even kills the D4 girl in the books with the same tracker jacker venom that killed Glimmer and yet still, we don’t know her name. We are so removed from the identity of the other Tributes that we don’t even know what some of them looked like beyond brief descriptions of mangled bodies and dead Tributes in the bloodbath at the Cornucopia.

And, the thing is, Suzanne established the importance of names in the series. Even in real life, we recognize the importance of being named. It is a fundamental aspect of being human. If you’re ever in a perilous situation where a person might be placing your life in danger, we’re told to remind the person that you’re human. “Keep saying your name, how old you are, where you came from. Remind them you are a human being just like them.” Before any propaganda can work against a group of people, refusing to recognize a person’s name is the first step to dehumanization. And just like the people of the Districts, we don’t care enough about the other Tributes to even want to know their names. Their propaganda worked on us, the readers.

In two generations, President Snow completely wiped out any sense of familiarity and camaraderie the Districts may have shared with the other. In two generations, Snow sowed the seeds of distrust and division into the Districts so deeply that even we, the readers, were affected by the effects of Capitol propaganda. In two generations, the Districts ceased to genuinely care about the others beyond the vague sense of injustice they feel for their shared plight. It’s why Career Districts don’t seem to care about killing the other Tributes. How can you care, to show your compassion and humanity, when you can barely see them as people? Yes, they may have been in the Arena with you. Yes, they may have been starved and beaten and forced into labor like you were. Yes, they might be children just like you. Yes, they might be subjected to the same deplorable system that turned you into virtual slaves. But they are not your friends. They are not your allies. They are strange, with different customs and traditions that you have. You do not share the same values. They do not care about you. At the first chance they get, they will kill you with your bare hands and they will do it with alacrity if it meant their survival. There can only be one Victor and it can’t be them. It has to be you.

☕️and I think that the foxes winning the championship thing and literally going from zero to hero was a lot of Kevin’s doing. Of course it was team work but i mean they thanked Neil like a 100 times for bringing the team together which ist completely valid but Kevin did a lot on the training part , the raven drills etc but ok I could talk forever about Kevin not being appreciated enough ☕️

YES YES YES YES YES

Kevin did so much for them but all they want to focus on is Neil 😤

The Hate You Give

Not to be affiliated by the movie (even though that movie was amazing and so eye-opening)

Imagine this: you had a hard day at work, you’re pretty exhausted. You open up your phone before you go to bed ‘cause it’s has been blowing up all day with Tumblr, (or Twitter/Instagram) messages and asks. You open the app and the smile on your face quickly dissolves into pure and utter disbelief and sadness.

You’re disgusting.

I don’t like ________ about you.

Do you hang out with __________? Stop hanging out with them.

I hate you.

I’m unfollowing.

I can’t believe you did this. How could you?

I can’t believe you said that. How could you?

We made you famous. You owe us.

You’re ugly. You’re too skinny. You’re too fat. You’re this. You’re that.

You’re gross.

You posted this 10 years ago on your Twitter, you’re sexist, racist, homophobic, you’re ________.

And just like that, you’re questioning yourself. You hate this or that about yourself. You can’t stand to look at yourself. Maybe you should stop hanging out with this person or maybe you should stop doing this-

You are Joshua Rush.

You are Kevin Hart.

You are Ariana Grande.

You are Tom Hiddleston.

You are that girl who’s scared to go to school because those girls in your English class might hurt you again.

You are that one boy who’s scared to come out because nobody accepts that idea in your school and so you know you’ll be hated.

You are everyone and anyone who’s ever been hated on.

And that is not okay. Saying those things are not okay. Hiding behind a screen and yelling digital slurs at a human being is not okay. Saying those things directly to a person is not okay. It hasn’t been okay in the past, it won’t be okay now and it won’t be okay tomorrow. So fn stop. Stop being cowards.

Don’t forget that under all that hair and skin, you have the same make-up, you are a human. Act like it.

Hurting another human being to the point where they have to take a break from social media is not okay. Hurting another human being to the point that they think twice before they say something or even do something is NOT okay.

A fact: celebrities don’t owe you anything. It is not their fault you liked their content, that is on you. They don’t need to act on your beck and call so stop telling them what to do or not to do. Joshua Rush doesn’t need to stop hanging out with Ethan Wacker. He doesn’t need to stop having political beliefs. He’s just a kid, let him live his life. The bad jokes that Kevin Hart made ten years ago don’t define him, he’s a changed man. If he wants to host the Oscars, let him. If Finn Wolfhard refuses to autograph something, he doesn’t have to because he has no obligation too. Like I said before, he’s just a kid and doesn’t have to do anything but live his life.

And here’s another fact: for every millions of praising comments a person receives, it’s that one hateful comment that sticks by them. It’s that one comment that catapults them into hurt and depression. That is the cold hard fact.

So think hard the next time you spurt out something that is ugly and awful because you might be making that smile disappear, you might be hurting someone deeply, you might be pushing someone over the edge.

Change your ways.

Be kinder.

Understand.

Appreciate and praise more.

Support and protect.

Please reblog so more people understand that this is not okay. And so the haters understand that they need to step back and reflect on their damn actions because this shit is getting out of hand.

Since you asked for dc characters and outfits how about Kon in this one?

Oh man he'd look so great in this!

Wearing all black but he makes it work!

nicky has super soft skin pass it on

If I ever get a chance in an AU fic to have Nicky work at Lush I’m gonna, you know that boy EXFOLIATES and MOISTURIZES!!!The upperclassmen and drunk Kevin have multiple times been like “ooooo soft” and patted Nicky’s face or arms in wonder. Nicky, who craves attention and physical contact, is Lovin It

"comes back wrong", what a hot trope. incredibly sexy.

kevin day counts down to 0 in time for the new year to come, he counts back in french while sitting between jean and jeremy on the beach, he counts holding both of their hands and relishing in the feel of pure serenity.

he’s not broken bones or freshly cut wounds, he’s not the array of scars that litter his body, hes not the tormented thoughts and defeated number 2 on his cheek.

he’s kevin day and he’s the one who survived, not riko.

he’s kevin day and he’s going to be the best of the best, going to stand proud with another gold olympic medal.

he’s kevin day and he’s the happiest he’s ever been to claim another year of sobriety. he’s been sober for 10 years, he’s drinking a soft drink, smiling when jeremy offers him a chocolate bar and leaning against jean.

he’s kevin day and he won’t stop moving forward and loving his family, his friends or his partners

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

u ever get no sleep and the next day ur body functions like the tumblr app
