None of my friends are nerds so they just don’t even understand the BETRAYAL

Watching Aizawas arc, and learning about Kurogiri being Shirakumo in MHA main series affected me so much the first time, I completely blacked out that Shirakumo *died* for whatever reason.

So when I watched MHA: Vigilantes, I was right there with Aizawa.

Loving him up until his final seconds

Having the same false hope and denial as I heard Shirakumos voice over the speaker.

The same heart sinking feeling when the camera panned towards his lifeless body.

Even despite Mic and Midnight’s reactions.

Despite having watched every season of MHA before this.

The heartbreak was FRESH.

It’s been weeks for me now, and I still cry when I think about it.

Get so angry when I realized his body wasn’t even able to rest, and was instead made a pawn for the one thing he’d never do.

aaGGGHH I can’t even stand it.

Aizawa had to watch his best friend die in front of him twice, more than 15 years apart.

And then lost his co pet parent too

TLDR: Fuck all for one.

Everyone is so wrapped up in the literal only thing Jax purposely did not say

I need to know if anyone actually listened to a single word he actually did.

Like—what is the ACTUAL regret he opened up to Ribbit about that day?

What did he tell us about his past?

What did we learn about why he looks at his hand like that after he pushes Pomni away?

These are all the some of the questions I got answered by that episode but for some reason even though they’re key turning points in his life no one cares. It’s baffling.

That’s it. That’s the post.

UPDATE: GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

I’m running low on credits now lovelies. It was fun while it lasted!! Maybe I’ll come back another time when I get more.

I am grieving the loss of Jax like he is someone I knew and loved personally.

I can’t restart the series, or read any fan comics because they’re all pomni either in the tent, or talking to a premonition of Jax.

Because I just start sobbing.

It just hurts so bad that he realized in his final conscious seconds how loved he is, how much he loves, how safe it is to love, and that he won’t get the chance to express it.

I know people hate Jax and think he’s this irredeemable person but oh my god does that dumb ass purple rabbit mean so much to me.

Not only is he gone, he’s gone because he truly believed everyone would be better off without him.

I wish gooseworx would’ve pushed this idea more, gangle has so much potential to be actually terrifying!

Like, imagine her strangling someone with her ribbons; wearing this expression.

What’s your opinion on how much responsibility Jax had in Ribbits abstraction?

I’ve seen some people take what he did after this scene as a calculated attempt to get her to reach her breaking point but—

Jax tells her he’s glad he was able to cheer her up at the very beginning of the scene. Before anything goes wrong.

I think Ribbit was already having a hard time. I mean, she’s the one who carries the question into one about regrets, and the outside world.

I think she was already struggling, and when Jax pushed her away, and the others didn’t say anything, or even seem to pickup any of what he left off.

She felt exactly the way Kinger said no one should ever be made to feel in the circus. Unloved, and uncared for.

I don’t think Jax’s actions helped her at all, but I also don’t think he meant for that to happen.

I made a post stating my opinion on the Trans Jax head canon trying to be forced canon.

See og post below.

I’m not even gonna say anything more. just—how do we explain this situation if Jax is meant to be a trans woman? A trans person at all? This post is more than 2 years before the episode the joke aired in. So I’m really just curious.

I have unfortunately been stuck on a side of Twitter that wants me to they accept their head cannons, as cannons. To the point that I’m now called trans phobic, (despite being trans lol) because I believe in gathering verification before making decision decisions about someone’s identity.

What I find ironic, is that these people are extremely upset with me because I think that if Jax is canonically trans, then that in itself *feels* trans phobic.

I have a list of reasons that both of me and my other trans friends agree with, even if we do think that the idea of Jax’s self hatred and insecurity being rooted in some sort of gender identity issue is cool, and makes people feel seen.

Because the issue I’m having is not that people want this story for Jax or even the people who are role-playing their head cannon and using exclusively she her pronouns for him.

My issue comes in when these people want you to take his story as a canonical trans story now. If it *is* a trans story, his character has done nothing but create a caricature for trans phobic people because his femininity is constantly ridiculed as he’s being feminized. Whether the people doing in show know that’s what they’re doing or not.

Now if that was just something that was undeniably true within the story then maybe I could get over it and see the signs that they’re saying as acceptable, even if I didn’t come to the same conclusion.

My issue is that if Jax is trans, whether it be feminine or masculine, gooseworx and glitch productions has capitalized and tokenized on transphobia, by forcing someone out out of the closet: before they’re ready if he’s a trans woman. Or, forcing someone to be portrayed in an identity that they no longer identify with as the butt of a joke.

And I feel like the people who are so forceful about Jax being a trans feminine and nothing else ever, are excluding the very real stories that Demi people, feminine men, gender fluid, and really any other identity that could fall into not conforming to their genders (specifically male) expectations.

I know this post is getting long-winded so I hope that that made sense. I love the idea of trans Jax but I don’t love the idea of a trans story being used as a joke if that’s what it was always supposed to be.

All people can say to prove their point on why this is Cannon enough to erase someone’s whole presented identity is two scenes from one episode, it starts to feel like a little bit of a mockery to everybody who’s felt just like him. Everyone who lived those exact same scenes, that argument, that moment of acceptance from ribbit—just in a very different context.
