A List Of Things Midoriya Izuku Has Smashed, In Increasing Order Of Difficulty

I’m getting really tired of the wise serene pacifist trope in fiction. Every committed pacifist, prison abolitionist, antiwar activist, etc I’ve ever met in real life has been vibrating with compressed rage at all times. Do you know what it’s like to believe deeply in your heart that doing harm to others is wrong and the goal of society should be to alleviate suffering for all people and live in the United States of America? IT’S NOT FUN. Show Us The Pissed-Off Pacifists. 

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

that paper about how adhd is only viewed through the lens of capitalism.. i think thats why all the advice neurotypical psychs give adhd people is basically "you cant do this thing very well so make sure to do it extra good". they literally can't concieve of someone living a life without strict deadlines and monotonous routine. not to mention that they never mention anything about the severe emotional processing symptoms because peoples mental health issues and disabilities are always categorized by the ways in which they impact a person's ability to produce profit and not by the pain and suffering they can cause

me, rewatching my favourite media for the hundredth time: it’s about the comfort. it’s about the nostalgia. it’s about lacking the necessary emotional bandwidth to take in and process new things in this year of our lord 2021

only the true king could remove the sword from the stone…. no one else could…… they didn’t have…. arthurization

“hi, i’m an author and this is my american character, chair lightbulb.  in american, ‘chair’ means to be in a position of leadership, while ‘lightbulb’ means intelligence.  yeah it’s kind of an unusual name in american. she’s always been distant from her  american heritage, but her parents wanted her name to honor the american language, while still being unique.  don’t worry, she’s very embarrassed about her heritage and it will hardly ever come up.”

Naruto (crack) Plotbunny: ANBU are the only social services

So, like, in canon, we all strongly suspect ANBU were the ones to raise bby Naruto for the first few years of his life, supporting evidence A) he's not nearly as fucked up as a kid neglected from birth would be.

(Babies who are not held and talked to, & fed and changed regularly, provided with stimulus, comforted when sick or frightened, etc, do not grow up to be even half as well adjusted as Naruto at 12.)

Taking that, and extrapolating wildly, I purpose an AU where ANBU are the only fucking shinobi who realize traumatized children do not well-adjusted shinobi make.

And goddammit, if they're the only fucking people in the village who understand basic child psychology, fine, it's absolutely fine, the hokage is a damn idiot, but everything is F I N E.

ANBU, looking at every shinobi under the age of 18: our kids now.

Kakashi joins ANBU at 14, looking to bury himself in work and maybe (hopefully) die.

He instead gets assigned a grief therapist and a statistically improbable number of missions which begin with 'We need you to summon a puppy'.

Tenzo is lovingly bullied into developing a backbone and his own opinions.

Itachi gets pushed into ANBU at 11 by his father and the hokage. ANBU spends precisely 3 seconds pretending Itachi is actually going to be an agent, and then dumps him in a pile of kittens and sends him to go play with civilian kids as 'infiltration practice'.

Itachi, 13: Taicho, Danzo-sama just ordered me to kill my entire clan

Hatake Kakashi, a graduate of the ANBU school of social services: I'm glad you told us, Itachi-kun. Sit tight while the adults go and murder the problem, okay?
