this is more of a complain to the fandom, mainly those in the Youtube comments bc for some reason they pissed me off
Ok not to be deranged and a bitch but uhhhhhhh. No, today's TSAMS video is not just Solar. It's not Solar's origin. From the beginning, at least from what we’ve seen, Solar always kinda cared for both his Sun and Moon, and Solar was always a “good person” especially in comparison to Eclipse. Eclipse is not that here. He was given his own body, true, but he is fundamentally different from how Solar was. He's just as bitter, just as petty, and just as much of a nuisance he always was. This is more of a "what if eclipse was given his own body from the start" than "what if eclipse was a good person"
Plus, I don't remember well, but I'm pretty sure Solar never created a Bloodmoon and caused the July 16th incident. From the very beginning, Eclipse was bitter and angry, Solar honestly was not that. There is a big difference between how the two of them came to be.
Idk why this pisses me off so much but no, Eclipse and Solar are two very different people with very different personalities from the start. I don't hate solar, I love his character and I love that despite everything, he's still “an Eclipse”, but this doesn't mean Eclipse is a “Solar” if that makes sense.
In a way, I think any Eclipse can Become a Solar, and any Solar could become an Eclipse with enough time. However that is not what this video was. This is Eclipse, which is our Moons Killcode. Solar has a different Moons killcode and it's obvious it's different from the very beginning.
I’m very opinionated about Eclipse in case you couldn't tell lmao

Will is (rightfully) terrified of everyone in the misfits with the exception of Morella, not cause she isn't badass but because she's the only one who hasn't threatened to or actively beat up him or Montresor. Eulalie hit him over the head with a vase then stabbed him like a hundred times when she thought he was Monty. Berenice straight up bit him a dozen times. Pluto hit him with a fucking crowbar and tried to shoot Monty, both of these with zero hesitation. Duke got his specter and immediately beat monty's ass and successfully made Ada attack Monty which made him get attacked (Which I'm sure he 100% blames that on Duke and Ada and not even a little on Montresor.) And Lenore threatened him with a gun point blank, and while she knew the gun wasn't loaded there isn't a doubt in his mind that she would end him if Duke died. What I mean to say is that basically any time Will walks pass any of the misfits he immediately books or it or hides as well as he can without getting yelled at by Montresor.
Any favourite fics with Shouji?
Oooh boyyy.. See, the thing with Shouji is that there aren’t a lot of fics that feature him as the main character. And because he’s such an enshrouded individual, some writers who actually have him as the protagonist within their stories tend to portray his character in a way that’s deviated from what the original series delivers. So I have a hard time finding good fics about him that both abide by the original concepts, yet remain loyal to the writers’ own unique depictions, which are traits I look most often on. But good Shouji fics are worth all the hard searching. It saddens me on how some are underrated, as they didn’t seem to get much attention like hits or kudos (note that all my favorite fics with Shouji are from the site “Archive of Our Own”), so I’m really glad I could talk about this. Anyways, let’s cut to the chase, shall we? >ㅅ<9 Here are my 5 favorite Shouji-centric fics!
“Masks” by Aglo - This is a character study fic, the main topic of the story being quirk prejudice against heteromorphs. I really like how the fic displays discrimination in a realistic way, to the point where it mirrors the appearance-based prejudice that exist within our own world. The narration is in first person, so it vividly conveys a lot of Shouji’s inner voice and thought to the readers, plus hinting tangibly of his belief, motivation, and intention whilst pursuing the “hero’s path” within the society that stigmatizes him. The author does an excellent job implying within their story with references of Shouji’s character concept, such as the fact that he began wearing his mask after making a child cry with it and there being prejudice within his hometown (Fukuoka), plus referencing Horikoshi’s note beside a Shouji sketch stating that “a hero must not inspire fear”. The fic in general is quite critical on society’s prejudice and really shows well the perspective of heteromorphs on this issue, which is always a topic I love knowing more of. I read this whenever I want to further understand Shouji and find closer connection to him, as the fic really does well in making me sympathize with Shouji (perhaps even empathize), due to how the depiction of his character seem rather “realistic” and “human”.
“One Week in Kyushu” by ZeroUnitRGB - This is probably my first Shouji x Tokoyami fic, as is the reason why I ended up liking the ship. This fic has a slower pacing, the two characters slowly developing a bond throughout the course of seven chapters. The narration mainly focuses on Tokoyami’s perspective, but as the two get along, it opens up more on Shouji’s secrets. The build-up is really intriguing and the author does well one manipulating mood through the depiction of vivid tone that’re dependent on the characters’ feelings. As the fic focuses more on “emotion” than “action”, I like reading this whenever I want my attention to seep into the character-based story world, as I imagine the scenarios while reading.
“A Hero for a Villain” by ZeroUnitRGB - Another character study fic I enjoy reading. It’s one of the shorter ones (3000 words), but due to how short and straightforward it is through superb usage of literary devices, such as the stream of consciousness, I think I’ve read this most often before going to sleep. As I’ve mentioned before, I REALLY love the issue of mutant prejudice in association to the MHA world, as well as favoring the characters that have fallen victim to it. And this fic specifically shows the interaction between Shouji and Chimera, a villain from the movie “My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising”. Shouji and Chimera, two people who’ve suffered prejudice from society that ended up in different paths.. The poignancy of juxtaposing the two characters that’re alike yet different is something I always found favor of seeing. I have high appreciation for this fic because it’s one of the earliest stories I’ve read about in regard with the topic of quirk prejudice. It granted me a new perspective on Shouji’s character and his potential for growth as a hero.
“The Maiden and the Monster” by Luneth - It’s a “Beauty and the Beast AU” fic which handles a rare ship: Shouji x Shiozaki. The main concepts are derived from the Disney movie, but some are altered to match with the MHA characters that’re featured within the story. The concepts are interesting and the ideas are enchanting. Also, the author does a really good job displaying the characters in a way that’s loyal to the original series. The narration is really expressive, the dialogues are realistic, and the paralinguistic features that depict the traits of the characters are likely and accurate in the comical sense of MHA (I still wheeze at the concept of Iida being a roomba X’D). This fic is probably one of the more wholesome and adorable ones; I smile every time I reread them huehue...<3
“Wisdom Teeth” by Luneth - This is an extremely goofy fic looooool. So it’s basically a slice of life fic, where Shouji’s being all drowsy and clumsy after his wisdom teeth removal. What makes it even more hilarious is that two characters that take care of him are Iida and Tokoyami; their dramatic personalities being reflected through their reaction to Shouji makes it even better *lmbo*. The fic contains lots of humor within both the narration and dialogue, so I really enjoy reading this whenever I wanna feel lighthearted or entertained with cuteness >w<
And that’s it! Those are my 5 favorite fics with Shouji. Wow, uh.. seems like I got a little excited here;;; Props to you if you actually stuck around till the end loool Xd Hope this answers your question, Anon! (now will you excuse me, Imma head out and reread all these lovable fics from the start -w-)
Me: hey do you mind holding this for me*hands my over happiness*thx

Vengeance Saga has me acting up
Was finally able to listen to the wild life recap Imp and Skizz podcast episode and let me tell you: GRIAN WAS PISSED ABOUT THAT CAR. HE HATED THAT THING AND THAT IS HILARIOUS. Apparently the reason he didn't like it was because (in summarized words 'this is a death game, why has he built a bloody car? This looks like its from a creative world. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS JOEL THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SERIOUS AND DEATH GAME QUIT BUILDING STUPID BASES'
