easybake oven: do you think endeavour deserves forgiveness?
joints: shouto, are you okay?
easybake oven: the best ive been in quite a while
easybake oven: it’s just,,,, i want an opinion
easybake oven: i want an opinion that isn't blinded by experience, a logical one, and one that isnt just stating what i want to hear, but what i need to hear
easybake oven: there isnt anything fueling this other than introspection though, so dont feel too pressured
joints: hmmmmmm
joints: keep in mind that experience is a variable that heavily emphasized in forgiveness
joints: its also 3 am so im practically Not Coherent so its gonna be all over the place— im gonna start typing now so like,,,, wait a couple of minutes aaaa
joints: you were a kid. you might’ve been a prodigy, but that doesn't excuse him for doing what he did. you respect his power, but not how he applies it and his heroic career. i also think, to a level, that we influenced the hatred towards endeavour and that wasn't something we should've done. this is where it gets tricky!! we’re teenagers with their own moral code and we aren’t even heroes yet, nor are we saints, but we shouldn't outright encourage hatred. he was using you as a scapegoat for his own insecurities and putting all the weight he had on his shoulders and transferring it onto you. he is too fixated on a title that means nothing but stress, and being the epitome of a hero and lost sight of who he is. does that excuse his actions? abso-fucking-lutely not. the damage he did both physically and mentally was like he basically let his quirk go unrestrained in his circle?? house?? familial bonds??? idk,,, but he hurt so many people and wont admit it, and i don't think he’ll admit it until he sees for himself on what hes done. one day, maybe he’ll stand on the top. maybe he truly will get his goal of being number one. but what happens after? what will the view from the top be like, for someone like him? i dont even truly know what kind of person he is. will he see his own accomplishments? or will he see the means he had to do, and what person hes been reduced to. who knows. we'll probably know by then, but what if its bad? what if its good? humans have the capacity to grow and change, and who are we to define who's “good” and whos “bad”? wouldn't that make us alike to stain, without all the blood? we shouldn't be feeding into the ideas of cancel culture but its hard because it's everywhere! i hate to compare endeavour to kacchan but its the easiest thing i have right now. say, if i were to speak of my experiences of him before you truly got to know him, what would everyone think? the stigma would be there. we’d expect something, and we'll look into things deeper than they were meant to be. this is a heavy topic, and i want to put emphasis on the fact we're just first years. no matter how hard i analyze this, we still havent lived and felt through everything . i just?? hajsjjfg
joints: i really hate comparing kacchan to him,
though. kacchan was a child and endeavour is an adult. but?? does being a child excuse you for your actions too? what draws the line between sympathy and ignorance? what draws the line between good and bad? i wouldnt know. i dont think anyone does, completely. its too subjective
joints: as much as i say this, i dont forgive him. i am not in the position where i can say this though, and i know you asked for an unbiased thing but,,,
joints: the things he did to you is unforgivable. he hurt you, and i dont know how i want him to repent for it, as i didnt even grow up with him
joints: i dont know him but i know you , shouto
joints: i just want the best for you, even if it makes me a bad person
joints: ANYWAYS IT GOT REALLY SAPPY THERE HAHAHDJF SORRY FOR THAT THIS PROBABLY DIDNT ANSWER ANYTHING AND I JUST MADE YOU READ THROUGH THAT LONG ASS PARAGRAPH IAKSKRKKT
joints: time to like. get uraraka to throw me into the stratosphere
easybake oven: no, thank you, izuku. im not sure if thats what i wanted to hear but that gives me alot more perspective into things.
easybake oven: i care for you alot, izuku
easybake oven: thank you ♡
joints: you really want my face to turn permanently pink, dont you (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
easybake oven: mina just wants someone to relate to, izuku
joints: noOOoOoOOoO
