Honestly....same

Hi so spoilers for chapter 290 of MHA but I just had to come on here and address something that i've seen a little bit if so far and it's been nagging me, this is my first post like this so just bare with me.

(Also when I refer to Touya as Touya I mean the child that was abused by enji and part of who he is now. When I refer to him as Dabi im refering to JUST the villain side of him):

Touya.is.not.selfish.for.choosing.to.expose.his.abuser!

I could end it there but I have more I need to say:

Im not talking about dabi being a villain now. Im talking about Touya Todoroki, not dabi. Touya wanting to expose his abuser for the piece of shit that he is isn't wrong, all the members of the Todoroki family have reacted differently to Enjis abuse and Touya wanting to expose him is also a direct reaction to his trauma and is by itself completely valid. Im not saying him hurting people is okay but I am saying that him wanting to tear down his abuser is.

I've seen people say "Him choosing to expose Enji is so selfish because what about the rest of his family?" How people think when dealing with a current or past abuser isn't always logical, for him he is dealing with years worth of past pain and trauma, he's grown from it in the sense that he can say "yea fuck you enji I don't need you" but he also hasn't in the sense that he's never gotten a real chance to heal both emotionally and mentally, he's fixated on his past pain which is not uncommon for people who GREW UP in an abusive situation with no professional help, so for him to see the very man who abused not only him but his family get to slide under the radar and essentially walk away from what he's done must be incredibly angering/hurtful for him and rightfully so. Him calling Enji out will definitely have an effect on how each of the Todoroki's deal with the topic of Enjis abuse and we KNOW that (because mind you they may not all be against it, it'll be hard to cope with because now the public knows but we can't assume that ALL of them won't be somewhat okay with this new development, im thinking maybe natsuo but I could be wrong) but as I said before Touya wanting to bring his abuser/father to some form of justice in this way is not un heard of and it's not out of line either, he has the right to feel what he feels. Not all abuse survivors heal by simply forgiving their abusers, sometimes that hurts them more. A lot of yall seem to be to be forgetting that Touya spent YEARS forgiving endeavor while he was still with the family. You can not validate one victims feelings on their abuse while in the same breath condemning another, that's not how that works. Im not saying that all responses are healthy (like todoroki blaming himself and shutting people out) or that they are morally correct (like Touya becoming Dabi) but what I am saying this that all responses to individual trauma are very real and very valid, so my point is that while yes this puts his family in a tight spot now Touya is NOT inherently selfish for having this kind of response towards Enji and as I said before not all responses when dealing with trauma/abusers are "logical" and Touya/Dabi is clearly not completely sound in the mental department right now. And speaking of Dabi, I'm not saying him being abused gives him the alright to hurt others because it DOESN'T, being hurt/abused doesnt give you the right to hurt/abuse others. Im simply saying that Touya isn't wrong about how he's chosen to confront his abuser and his past traumas in this specific situation, (if there even is a "wrong" way to do that) him exposing Enji doesn't make him an asshole, it doesn't make him evil (im not talking about him being dabi right now), it just makes him someone who has chosen to confront his abuser in this way.

This is getting long and if you happen to read this and want me to address anything else send an ask and I will but for now im tired and will stop. Good day to you all

(A/N: the paragraph at the top is also taken from a comment I wrote so if you see it 😃 unsee it)

        As a Naruto fan, I never really understood why Hinata’s personal feelings are often disregarded. She is given these labels yet many people never really take the time to genuinely understand the hardships she faced as a Hyuga.

      I feel like her story is often swept under the rug. People are quick to assume things about her before actually understanding why she is the way that she is.

 Hinata was treated like a sack of garbage by her own father…who, by the way, had absolutely no faith in her abilities or her potential…even going so low as to calling her a failure and deeming her a complete redundancy to the clan’s standards.  Her own flesh and blood drains her spiritually, mentally, and emotionally just because she is different from what is expected of her as the first born child of the main branch family.

He basically disowned her as if she equated to nothing…as if she wasn’t worth standing in the presence of. 

Even whilst dwelling in the womb, Hinata was brought into the world with a shitload of expectations and responsibilities stemming from the Hyuga’s hereditary linage . It’s not like she even had a choice for herself. She gets tossed away and degraded for being who she really is: someone who is kindhearted, gentle, and soft…which are easily depicted as weaknesses through the eyes of the clan.

She couldn’t please her father, she couldn’t please her clan…and in the short run, she didn’t have what it takes to please her own damn self. It’s pretty obvious that her father makes her the outcast especially when drawing the comparison between both of his children. 

The one person in her life that is meant to support her no matter the odds, is the root to her social anxiety and poor self esteem issues. But then again…whose to say that her father is the only source of contempt in her life?

Her own cousin despises her too…for reasons way beyond her control. So not only is she deemed a disappointment regarding the title as heir… but she’s being held accountable for her father’s title as well…and the fact that he is also the firstborn over his twin brother. This is also validated through the fact that Neji’s dad was ordered and obligated to give up his life in means to ensure the safety of Hinata’s father.

In the chunin exams you can clearly witness Neji crushing her spirit and belittling every ounce of her purpose for even attempting to be a ninja; every ounce of effort she puts into advancing the betterment of herself. 

Not only does he speak so carelessly about her feelings… but uses his byakugan to strip off every ounce of dignity that she could possibly muster and stigmatizes her through her own sense of inferiority and self loath. He demeans her through the existence of her own flaws by visually ridiculing her personal thoughts, ambitions, and behaviors. 

He refuses to acknowledge her commitment as a ninja…and tells her to forfeit not only the match…not only her title as a kunoichi…but her overall will to change into a stronger and more qualified individual.

Hinata’s self hatred is quite evident…Neji easily notes her feelings of inferiority and assures her that she will never have what it takes to progress in life…due to the fate of her destiny.

So…not only does her father deem her a failure and a redundant disgrace to the clan…but another part of her own flesh and blood hates her guts, degrades every outlet of her efforts, mentally/emotionally/spiritually abuses her in front of the eyes of her team mates, her sensei, the one person she admire, and the rest of Konoha 11.

                             Let’s also not forget to mention…

…The fact that he tried to kill her when she was evidently WAY passed her limits and couldn’t defend herself.

     …All of this transpired just because of the fact that she was born into the main branch. It’s not like she had the prerogative to choose what branch to be born in…nor the order of birth between her father and uncle. Nor should she be held accountable for his father’s death.  At this point, I would question the purpose for even existing if my family looks down on me…and I already hate myself for being the epitome of an unfortunate fate.

   It’s sad because she is resented for her nature…when she pretty much resents herself. She resents herself for not setting a leading example, for not meeting her clan’s expectations, for not being good enough, for potentially burdening those around her, for being a failure, etc.

      Yet, it surprises me that people grudge her for not having the confidence to approach Naruto during his times of anguish. It surprises me that so many of us expect her to have the confidence to openly reveal her love…when she can barely withstand her reality.

    She can barely withstand the reality behind her feelings of inferiority…the reality of the hatred that exist against her very existence. Self affliction is not something to take lightly…and it’s not fair for people to condemn her when she’s fighting herself every single day.

                                                          But then…

….Somewhere in her fucked up life…

Exists a person who ignites her confidence and fearless determination..someone who gives her a reason to actually believe in herself and to not allow the evils in the world to deter her from achieving her goals. Somewhere in her fucked up life…there’s a person that actually uplifts her from her flaws and inspires her to be the best version of herself.   

…and people hate her for it… For naturally falling in love with someone who she is strengthened by… Someone who exemplifies the strength she’s dreamed of obtaining for herself since she was a child. 

   So I guess when that special someone walks into your fucked up life… You’re supposed to NOT have feelings for them? This is why I firmly believe that Hinata’s feelings for Naruto are completely understandable. Out of many characters in the series, I honestly believe that she has one of the most legitimate reasoning for loving him to such a huge extent.

     She loved Naruto WAY before anyone acknowledged his existence and way before he could summon a clone properly. She loved him even when he was just the “under dog” who no one paid hardly any attention to. 

…There are even times where she places him ahead of herself. Like facing death in the eye for his safety when everyone else were too busy depending on him…

…showing more concern towards the state of his well being more than her very own..

…And tries to be there for him more than she is physically capable.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

But outside of her love and dedication towards Naruto, she is still a very kindhearted selfless person who is very considerate when it comes to others.

For example, she chooses not to outwardly cheer for Naruto but takes in consideration the feelings of her team mate.

She also offers Kiba and Akamaru healing ointment after their match against Naruto. (People will question…why didn’t she offer the ointment to kiba first? Well that’s because after Naruto won the match, He was already passing her to return to his team. 

Kiba was being carried away by the paramedics down by the battle floor. Naruto was already approaching).

…She protects the value behind Neji’s touching sacrifice by solidifying the purpose behind it…and the reasoning behind EVERYONE’S intent in protecting each other. She ensures that Naruto understands that HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE who carries the will to protect his loving comrades. She states that since everyone carries the same will in their hearts, this is what makes them FAMILY. (Her exact words: “That is why we are family.”)

    She sacrifices her love for him and agrees to marry Toneri in an effort to save both her sister and the world from impending destruction. Not to mention, she accuses herself of being a bad big sister whilst knitting Naruto a scarf and not being able to do anything about Hanabi’s predicament.

She’s also very humbled and accepting…even despite the fact that Naruto couldn’t afford to take her out to some fine expensive restaurant, She’s more than content with spending time with him…even if they are downing a bowl at Ichirakus. 

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Let’s also not forget to mention…she does NOT carry the jealous mentality. She is aware that Naruto is loved and endeared by pretty much EVERYONE and feels no need to envy any sign of affection.

While many people were so fixated on the fact that Sakura hugged Naruto at the point of his return, Hinata was actually fretting her ass about his safety and THANKING GOD for managing his survival. We’re making a big deal about who SHOULD be hugging Naruto…and not so very much in terms of her being emotionally relieved and thankful that he’s alive and well. Her love does not represent any form of envy…but it is easily conveyed through her concern for his well being.

You can also witness her smiling as she watches  Sakura hugging Naruto out of relief. 

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

She was completely devastated after witnessing her cousin’s death…

…and still mustered every bit of strength she had left to get Naruto’s head back on track…preventing him from losing himself as well as the people who are all giving their lives to protect each other (including him)…which (as I mentioned earlier) truly solidified Neji’s words and actions….

…She also reestablished his nindo…reminding him of the reason for why he chooses to advance forward regardless of the obstacles in front of him…the nindo that solidifies his drive in becoming Hokage and overcoming his adversities. The same nindo that delivered her through her times of weakness and self affliction. This is Hinata’s way of saying “Wake the fuck up!”

    Had Naruto allowed himself to fall victim to the traps of Obito…he would be basically going against everything he passionately believed in, the people who were able to conqueror their obstacles because of him, his comrades, and the rest of the lives that depends on him wholeheartedly. Hinata did not only save him from falling into a mental disaster…but she pretty much saved the lives of everyone who is fighting alongside him in the war…and revived his motivation.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

In summary, once people actually get to understand Hinata, she’s not so bad. At the same time, no one is perfect…and I believe this is what gives us the ability to understand each other. I find Hinata to be a very interesting character…even if you want to argue and bring up the lack of screen time she received throughout the manga, I supposed you’re right… in fact, she deserved a lot more screen time than she was given. Perhaps, this is the reason why she is commonly misunderstood as a character…and just as a person overall.

And may I also note…she’s not the strongest character in the series….

She’s not the most relevant character in the series…

She’s not the most popular character in the series…

…………..Her fans tend to love her more…………..

…….For the simple fact that she’s IMPERFECT…..

Hey guys, I found this.

I’m going to be working on some requests later!! Sorry for not updating much today - I’ve been working on my other blog, @childbulliesne

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

Lucifer didn't sleep with Eve lmao

I had to make this post to make it clear because I've seen a few ppl say the same thing. When Lucifer said "Well your first wife didn't seem to hate what I had to offer" he was clearly talking about Lilith and the fact that they married later, then he says "or the second" implying that he gave her something too. its a play on words because he did give both of them something but what he gave was completely different! for Lilith he gave himself and for Eve he gave the apple! so both of them did like what he had to offer, but it's important to remember what the offer actually was! that's why ep 1 takes the time to explain what happened between the 4 of them. the "bow chika wow wow" was just Lucifer being a little shit to piss Adam off because he doesn't like him and he's rubbing it in Adams face that both his brides chose something he had over Adam. so no they didn't sleep together, viv and the team are just super slick with their jokes lol
