the illusion of free will

people say shigaraki is responsible for the deaths he caused, and while i don’t completely deny that, it’s way more complicated than just “free will.” what people miss is that he was groomed from the age of five, when he was at his most vulnerable until he finally broke free from afo’s grasp. afo deliberately took him in at a point where he was completely dependent on others for guidance, then shaped him into the perfect successor.

to shigaraki, his master wasn’t just a villain, he was his savior, the only one who “understood” him, the only one who gave him a sense of purpose after the world abandoned him. and that’s exactly how manipulation works. afo didn’t just take him in, he rewired his entire mind, fed him lies, reinforced his hatred, and conditioned him to believe that destruction was his only salvation. shigaraki never had a chance to form his own worldview because afo made sure to mold it for him.

look at shigaraki’s reaction when he was separated from afo, it wasn’t just anger, it was pure desperation. that’s the reaction of someone who has been so deeply conditioned that he doesn’t know how to function outside of his abuser’s influence. shigaraki was entirely dependent on afo, and when you’re raised under constant manipulation, you don’t suddenly “wake up” and realize you’ve been controlled your whole life.

it doesn’t work that way. when he saw all might trying to save bakugo while attacking the league, he felt betrayed by the world all over again. to him, it was proof that heroes will never save people like him. but that idea wasn’t his, it was something afo planted in his mind for years, reinforcing it over and over until shigaraki believed it as an absolute truth. so when afo was no longer there, what was left? nothing but the doctrine his master forced onto him. if he wasn’t groomed, if he wasn’t brainwashed into thinking destruction was his only option, then he would have taken another path. but that was never an option for him because he never had the freedom to choose in the first place. as afo himself admitted, shigaraki never had free will. none of his choices were ever his own.

compare this to dabi and toga. they were abused, but they never had an outside force controlling them like afo did with shigaraki. they became villains on their own terms, dabi out of revenge, toga out of rejection from society. but shigaraki? his entire ideology was forced onto him. if afo had gotten to shoto instead, then shoto would have ended up just like shigaraki.

and here’s the worst part; nobody in the story even questions it. if horikoshi wanted us to humanize the villains, then he should have given them a humanizing death, something that forced people to acknowledge what they went through and how they ended up like this. but instead, nobody even stops to ask why afo had to groom a child into being his successor. nobody wonders why japan’s greatest villain was so reliant on manipulating a mentally ill, traumatized young man into doing his bidding. they just see shigaraki as a monster.

shigaraki never had a choice, but the world acts like he did.

i redrew baby tenko and mizuki :3 🍓🥭

hori was beyond cruel for making him resemble tenko and get our hopes up again :(

She made a shigadabi one too!!! It was on her livesteam a few months ago lol

LOOOORRRDDDD LET ME BREATHE ARGRBFJFJDKEKKEKWOWJWI????!!??!?!?!?!? shit so funny it got me dizzy from laughing too hard

Being a villain fan and trying to find a good Bnha YouTube reaction is not for the weak yall 💔

Me: Huh, my hero finally finished. I should reread it. I haven’t really read it in depth since I was younger and now I can read it as a whole instead of waiting for the new chapter and falling behind. Also season eight is coming out soon.

Also me on page 1: damn… so when does tomura and the league show up

i genuinely die a little inside whenever i reread the manga or see the scenes from the show where tomura/tenko is literally being gripped by all of those big ass hands. like GET OFF OF HIM OMFG. he's so small in comparison, and they're just holding him, and it's so disturbing to watch.

On one hand I love fics where Shigaraki is taken in by the heroes and he goes to UA and he makes friends with 1-A and all that BUT on the other hand, it almost doesn’t feel right because in a lot of those fics he loses what he’s fighting for in the series.

Like, I get it omg Tenko Shimura happy and having friends and he’s finally saved <3 obviously he’s different than tomura becuz his life goes a different path. But it’s like omg what happened to the lil guy who wanted to be a hero to the villains? It just feels bittersweet

This prob makes no sense 💔 I might as well stop complaining and write my own fic but ehhh

League of Villains: Circus AU

"The jester was a very familiar face in the Middle Ages. [...] Jesters were not only hired to amuse the master and guests but to criticize them as well. Jesters held freedom of speech. They were one of the very few people in the court that could speak their minds freely [...]"

It's you and me now

- Yo, Shigaraki-dono, how's it going?

- הגם פקפק דñ קוקס מיינונג אקד

- Cool! I'm good too!

CRRYYYIINGG

I had a vision

𝐓𝐖: 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀

You and Tomura...God, you two were infatuated with each other, constantly fucking and shit. It tired Kurogiri and Dabi was complaining but thank God, he bought noise canceling headphones.

Tomura had stayed up until a little after 1:30 AM, he looked at you, so innocent, sleeping soundly, not moving. Not moving. Not moving. He smirked at the sight and got a little hard through his sweatpants, he was already shirtless because he didn't expect to stay up so late. "Hm...I do need to blow off some steam." He mumbled, inching towards the bed where you lay, he palmed himself gently through his pants as he got on top of you, "So pretty..." He whispered, looking at your plump tits, fat ass...you knew your worth when you were with Tomura. He lapped his longer against your neck, but you stayed sound asleep, he pinned you flat on your back, hands like an endzone, he looked at your pink nipples poking through the slightly transparent tank top you wore, he bit his lip and got harder, he lifted it, squeezed your breast and whimpered softly, taking off his pants, grinding on you through your pajama pants, the fabric getting him off a little more, he lowered your pants and saw how wet your desperate little cunt was through your soaking panties, he moaned, lowering them and sticking his fat cock inside.

You woke up, your stomach covered in cum, your ass and pussy seeping with his cum from endless bareback cream pies, and he was snuggling your side, his face buried in your collarbones, his partially hard cock laid on your thigh, still leaking.
