Cruel choices #137: you must consume one - and only one - of the following pieces of media.

1. Sailor Moon retold in the style of a 19th Century Russian philosophical novel.

2. The Brothers Karamazov retold in the style of a magical girl anime.

“Our very existence proves there is a peak,” Mars spat, the wind-swept snow no deterrent to her clad in naught but the Sailor uniform as she was. “Man need not concern itself with matters of godhood. We are gods given flesh.”

“It is precisely because of what we are that they cannot rest.” Mercury replied. “One cannot and must not embrace egoism. If we fall, who then will they turn to? Who then will care for what mankind has wrought? Only mankind itself.”

Then from two alleys over there came not so much a cry but a sound, a resolute plea to the skies above not for help, but for guarantee of vengeance. The earnest note struck chords within Mars and Mercury, as if it had been an answer to both of their sides; and yet, it was distinctly not.

“Corrupting the minds of the people with false nationalism where there should be nothing but love of all man, exemplifying godhood as nothing more than superiority to others instead of preaching it as empathy and spilling my borscht… For that, I cannot forgive you! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!”

“There’s a much quoted proverb in the world of finance that I hate: Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. I say bullshit to this. Do the poor really not know how to fish? And what good is it to know how to fish if the rights to fish are owned by powerful landlords? And if the river is polluted by upstream tyrants? And what good is it to be taught to fish if the price and distribution of fish is controlled by conglomerate monopolies?””

The most disrespectful thing in BNHA is that Shouto Todoroki’s quirk coulda been “Ice and Fire” or “Freeze and Flame” or literally anything else but instead they had to go and call him “Half Hot, Half Cold”. Half Hot. Half Cold. Like a mattress for picky couples. Like dessert ala mode. Like a microwaved hot-pocket.

He’s got all this power and all this backstory and all this redemption and he can literally manifest cascading mountains of pure ice and swelling pyres of incinerating flame but nah his damn quirk name sounds like a space heater and AC wrapped up in one. Like he’s the hot new item on 3am cable television for 5 easy payments of $29.99 plus tax and broken limbs. Fuck that. Fuck that shit.

Bakugou calls him Icy-Hot out of mockery and honestly? Improvement. Massive improvement. Bakugou named two heroes better names than they could come up with for themselves and this is the fucker what named himself King Explosion Murder. That’s a problem Icy-Hot. That’s a problem Mr. Space Heater. Mr. Thermostat. For the love of god save yourself from his terrible quirk name I’m outright begging you. Talk to the Quirk Registry people. Talk to anyone. Please just fucking contact your agent Todo Shoutoroki
