Things I learned in therapy today:

Giving your partner the silent treatment during a fight is a form of emotional abuse. They are not mature enough to handle their emotions correctly, therefore not ready for a stable relationship.

Why I like The Hunger Games?

Hunger Games is not only an outstanding work of fiction. It is also important to the development of the actual readers' character. There are many points to take notice of, but 2 are more significant.

First of all is love. The importance and the need of it. The decision to choose it over anything. The connection of love to life in general. The story implies that love is the meaning of life and that in order to live, we must love.

But the second important point is the REAL life. Hunger Games teaches us that if you want to survive, you need to be tough, calculating and sometimes relentless. It showed us that although at times you can be kind, you also need to be the opposite. That life is not fair. That the bad might win, too. It taught us the true way of living.

I like Hunger Games because it was honestly with us. It showed us both sides of life

I feel like a lot of people meme on Evanescence for how melodramatic the lyrics to a lot of their songs are, but over ten years since I first heard their music and I still relate to a lot of the subject matter in their songs. Hell, for a lot of them I think I relate to them more now that I’m an adult than I did as a kid/teenager.

Maladaptive daydreaming, depression warping your sense of self, the toxicity of celebrity culture, stalkers, feeling burdened by expectations, learning to love yourself again after a dark period in your life. Imaginary in particular is the first song I remember really connecting with, taking in the lyrics and thinking “this song gets me.” End of the Dream, specifically the Synthesis version, is my favorite song period because it’s the closest thing Evanescence has to a “we’re so fucking back” song. Even the much memed upon Bring Me To Life is about realizing you’re in an abusive relationship and looking to others for help getting out.

All of these are strong themes to write a song about! I feel like a lot of people have the perception that the songwriting in Evanescence songs is all frilly gothic nonsense, being dark and somber just for the sake of it. They do have some songs like that (doesn’t mean they’re not bangers though), but most of their discography has a lot more depth to it than I think a lot of people give them credit for.

For the love of god, stop saying Endeavor was a good father (A long-ass RANT)

With the recent episode of MHA season 6 coming out, I started to see a lot of fans talking about how good of a father Endeavor was before Touya started burning himself. Let me start by saying I am a huge Endeavor simp and fan myself, but even I have the decency to acknowledge what a horrible shit he is. This is a rant about why Enji Todoroki has never been a good father. Spoilers ahead obviously.

Endeavor and his family

Endeavor started a family because he couldn’t beat All Might. He started a family and had children for his own gain. Starting with Rei, the wife he bought off who was like 19 at the time only because of her quirk. He never had any intention of treating her as anything but a baby-making machine and a nanny for his kids. The only reason he married her was to have children. After he got what he wanted (Shoto), he sent her away because he damaged her beyond repair and he didn’t need her anymore.

Endeavor loved Touya because he had potential. Touya loved the training so that wasn’t a problem, but when his first son turned out to be defective, he quickly tossed him and forgot him.

My point is this, Endeavor only ‘loves’ someone when they prove to be useful to him. There are a million ways he could have handled Touya. Training him how to use his quirk without hurting himself or quirk therapy or even heat-resistant skin grafting. He’s a top hero who had all the experience and money in the world, I promise he would have been able to call up the best doctor in the country, which is what he would have done if he really did love Touya.

Fuyumi and Natsuo are literally by-products. I bet the only reason he ever noticed Fuyumi was because she was a replacement for Rei as the ‘mother figure’. He treated Natsuo the worst, not even acknowledging his existence, which is why Natsuo was the one who was impacted the most (other than Touya).

Shoto is one who he really loved, not in a healthy way, but because he was the masterpiece. Even after Touya died, Enji never learned his lesson and kept up with the abuse. I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Shoto wasn’t born the way he is. Would Enji just keep forcing Rei to have MORE babies?

Was he really an abuser?

Some fans say ‘oh he wasn’t that bad’ or ‘he never really physically hurt them’ because we never explicitly see it. For the kids it was mostly emotional and verbal abuse, I doubt he physically hurt Shoto other than the training. Enji would beat him until he was vomiting for the sake of training, but with Rei he damaged her the most. She married him for the sake of her family and tried to love him. She tried to be a partner to him, and he still pushed her away. He treated her horribly and was a monster. He never physically hurt Natsuo or Fuyumi but he beat Rei up like it was a routine. He slaps her around when she tries to voice her opinion or talk to him, and he downright blames her for everything, including Touya training in secret.

This panel is downright horrifying because it shows what a monster he was and how Rei saw him. This strong pro hero is pulling her and throwing her around like a sac of potatoes in front of the children. He is violently beating his wife. So for fans saying there is no proof of him doing this regularly, here is the page to prove it. I don’t think Horikoshi can show graphic abuse, so he tried to make it as subtle as possible, just showing hints. Not many people have seen these extra pages (from chapter 301-302) because it was only quite recently added to the chapter. The anime studio literally censors blood, so I honestly doubt this will be animated. Also in the manga, there is a panel where it is insinuated he slapped Rei. You can see the giant SLAP in bold letters.

If this is a man who is supposed to be a top pro hero then these children and Rei have no one to run to.

Power dynamics and victim blaming

Its very interesting to see how much the Todoroki children blame themselves for how Touya ended up. This image is from chapter 302.

Even if they went to the police, nothing could have stopped Endeavor. Given how corrupt the hero system is, the abuse would have worsened if someone ratted him out. There is no way Rei, Fuyumi or Natsuo could have stopped this. They are victims as well. Endeavor was the #2 hero, they would have easily swept it under the rug and called them crazy or ungrateful. Enji with his connections and status could have sent them away. What hero could they have gone to that would have believed them? Who’s to say they would even help?

Misogynistic?

Endeavor had this tendency to treat women who are not heroes in an odd way. He saw them as weak and preferred boys as successors. If you look at his behavior with women outside of the hero profession, it's super awkward and he in general doesn’t know how to treat or interact with them. This is mostly based on speculation, but I feel like this is where Touya got his misogynistic way of thinking. He had to pick it up from somebody and I doubt it was Natsuo or Shoto.

Facing the consequences

Endeavor wanting to atone and not asking for forgiveness is a major sign of growth. I’m glad he acknowledges his wrongdoings and is now trying to bond with his family, but that doesn’t erase the past. Enji had abused and tortured his family for years. You don’t come back from that.

I don’t like how Enji thinks he can do a few favors for them and call it atonement. He doesn’t face real consequences because in the end, he’s the #1 hero, he’s rich, and he still has his masterpiece. He is thriving and doing great careerwise. The punishment does not fit the crime. Enji being forced to atone is a super lenient consequence.

This is actually pretty scary. Endeavor is the hero with the most cases solved, you CANNOT tell me he didn’t run into a few domestic abuse cases in his 25+ years as a hero. He is locking up abusers while being an abuser himself. Talk about double standers-

Glad he got exposed (#Endeavoriscanceled)

If it weren’t for Dabi/Touya revealing what Enji did publicly, I don’t think he would have ever faced real consequences. The world needs to know this man is no hero behind the scenes. In any country, abusers whether male or female get jail time, probation or fines. For long-term abusers, I’m pretty sure jail time and a criminal record is on the table. Also, aren’t quirk marriages illegal in some places? Or at least have laws and regulations?

After the final war arc there might be a chance he will retire, but this retirement won’t be easy. Endeavor will be disgraced and knocked off his pedestal, which is exactly what he deserves. It's devastating as an Endeavor fan but honestly this man needs to learn his lesson the right way. Thank you for reading my rant.
