shoutout to my coworker for thinking that “illuminati” and “alumnae” meant the same thing and absolutely destroying everyone in the room when he casually dropped the sentence “i get a discount there because i’m an illuminati” into the conversation
Most artists/authors: I needed detailed in story explanations for why there people have these powers!
Horikoshi: One day everyone woke up with superpowers. Weird.
fdsklfsdl u ever think firestar exaggerates aspects of being a kittypet to try and seem tougher because hes TIRED of the “kittypets are weak and lazy” stereotypes within the clans so he just makes shit up to seem cooler and thunderclan starts buying it after awhile bc for the longest time hes the only kittypet-turned-warrior so they CANT disprove him
firestar: when we turn a few weeks old, our owners take us to……this twoleg called the vet. and while we’re there they – oh starclan, it [snickers] its so scary to talk about – but the vet. they stab us but not with claws – they inject us with this liquid that makes us stronger. i cant get rabies for a while because- [holds in his laughter] because a twoleg stabbed me.
iida tenya walked into ua on his first day and aizawa and mic promptly lost their minds bc they knew him when he was a little baby and now he looks like a bodybuilding accountant
iida tenya walked into ua on his first day and aizawa and mic did not react because hes always looked like that even when he was a baby. he came out of the womb politely requesting Protein
Why does Iida Tenya call Tsuyu “Tsuyu-chan-kun” does japanese do that??? Or???
-chan and -kun are both things you attach at the end of names depending on context of the relationship. -chan is used usually for girls and little kids. It has a bit of pet name kind of feeling, so it can be inappropriate or even derogatory depending on circumstance. (For example a male character referring to a female character with -chan right off the bat without permission could be seen as looking down on them, flirting in non-respectful way, infantalizing with cooing baby voice, etc.) It’s a very unusual character quirk of Tsuyu that she ASKS others to call her Tsuyu-chan, combination of her first name+chan. That’s an extremely informal and cutesy way to call her, and it’s no surprise that Midoriya repeatedly stuttered when he tried to call her that way.
-kun is usually thought as a thing for boys, and while it’s mostly true in informal conversations, it can be used for girls too but usually in formal, official setting, like teachers talking about female students or people talking about their workplace colleagues and juniors. It’s Iida’s character tick that he calls ALL his peers with -kun, boys and girls altogether. It’s viable as Japanese usage but is unusual, and nobody other than Iida does this in MHA.
Tsuyu-chan-kun is the result of Iida sticking to his usual speech habit of using -kun suffix to remain formal and professional and at the same time trying to respect Tsuyu’s wishes that she be called Tsuyu-chan.
just moving along like everyone else
