"Born evil" is a bad take on AfO. My headcanon:

He was born in a world that sought to kill him. Rather than let it do that, he decided to make that world his.

#MHA is about how inequality breeds evil.

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

Same VA + Same power?

#OnePiece and #MHA fans will get it.

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

This is pure evil.

Passion projects are amazing, but very few succeed. We need time, resources and energy, and all of it gets stolen by wage labor.

In #FMA, Philosopher's Stones are containers. They hold people's souls, which can be coerced as fuel for alchemy.

But I wish they were dictionaries (as in coding). A set of references that lets one glimpse behind The Gate where all souls reside.

"Look kid, we made the system to help the children or something, but stuff got out of hand and we ended up with a school for child soldiers. Anyway, will you carry on our legacy?"

Random #Naruto thoughts.

#BNHA's politics are kinda lackluster.

But AFO is a perfect example of an egoist who will radicalize young, manipulable, frustrated kids into zealots.

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

If my #BNHA theory is correct, these two are the same "class"

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

The only #BNHA character who would survive in a gunfight, by winning it.

Yes, also Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. Arguably Fat Gum.

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

#AI should be helping juniors improve their skills and rise faster within companies.

Instead it's replacing juniors and killing the future workforce.

Force companies to hire and train juniors.

After interacting with the LoL community, I can totally get why these two:
- Play PvE.
- Became villains.

"School of X" stories all go: "The status quo is bad, but, what if revolution is co-opted by the bad guys and it's all worse? Better to make very small changes gradually!"

Looking for works of fiction with a bit more spine.

Question for my fellow #authors who also DM TTRPG campaigns:

- Does it consume or add creative spark?
- Since we're here, which all-in-one Discord tools do you recommend?

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

But here's the thing: Climate change is man-made. We don't just need to stand against these ordeals, we need to prevent them. We should unite, and dismantle the systems that make these cataclysms in the first place.

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

The Long Night, the Everstorm, etc., cataclysms that outclass any human conflict. They're supposed to represent climate change and how we should unite against it, right?

[James Manor @JamesManorAuth]

Only after achieving godhood was the Homunculus able to transmute a human with a soul.

My secularist take (since I don't like the idea of souls): The human brain is the most complex object in the universe. No intelligence can recreate its neural connexions.

Wasps are of Ruin. Bees are of Preservation.

Literally support heroes? That's what they do?

Love Ochaco. Her arc in #BNHA deserves better.
