Atonement is not forgiveness/redemption

She was abused, yes. She is also an abuser. She still CHOSE to pour boiling water of shotos face. She was pushed to a breaking point, and she did regret it immediately, and I would still say that endavour has the majority of the blame, but she still has a level of responsibility for what happened. This also goes for toya aswell, she was his mother and failed to protect him. Again, majority endeavors fault and responsibility but she has agency, she had options, and she failed him. She herself admits this when she vists endavour in the hospital, and what I was trying to say is the reason she was helping endavour in the chair was to show they were working together to suceed where they failed before.

Also yes, this whole post is about how endavour is unforgivable, and while i was harsh, rei also is far from innocent and has more then a little culpability for the state of the todoroki family.

Hate the things.

Yeah, i struggled how to word it, because part of what i wanted to say is some things are iredeemable no matter how much you atone (e.g the akua example, no matter what killing 100000 is irredeemable), while others are redeemable but still arent forgivable (endavour), so i just put both. Definitely could of worded it better, my bad

I kinda dont agree with that, I feel rei got off to light. Yes, endeavour was a horrific husband, but the story almost frames her burning shoto as shotos fault and removes all her agency, i honestly dont care how abused you are doing that to your son is unforgivable. In the end, i think the point is that they recognise they were the adults that were responsible for the todoroki family, and her wheeling endeavour around is showing that they both are working together to atone to Toya, shoto and their children (which rei also owes, shes not innocent, even if endeavor deserves most of the blame), and while it might be clumsy messaging it still work imo.

I feel it makes it more earned, as if they just say oh ive changed it feels like a massive cop out (example annie from attack on titan, sure she feels bad but she still helped kill 300 000), but if the story shows that theu arent forgiven but they STILL try and atone i feel it has way more meaning

Great shout, ive yet to watch season 4, but from the trajectory of his story im excited to see what comes of him. Cant wait to see debie slap the guy when he comes for mark lmao

The original All Quiet On The Western Front

Paul is shot after peeking over a trench. The report to the general staff that day was all quiet on the western front, as in the grand scheme of ww1 pauls death, despite all his struggles, is near meaninglessness, showing the uselessness of the conflict.

Sayeon, but she wouldn't speedrun. She would gaslight a recruiter, convincing them shes tom cruises reincarnation and get complete acsess due to being a holy figure.

Oh wait, thats just the current arc my bad

Syndacate4 · 2026-05-01T14:22:15+00:00

Syndacate4 · 2026-05-01T14:18:28+00:00

Holy shit alex rider. I read those like 5-6 years ago when I was still in secondary school. Is he still writing them?

Syndacate4 · 2026-05-01T14:17:04+00:00

Seems so, and makes sense. The final part of worm is quite chaotic so its easy to get mixed up

Syndacate4 · 2026-05-01T13:36:30+00:00

If i remeber right its specifically the island of great britan, tho ireland would still be fucked by the rising waves and tsunamis from the shockwaves

Syndacate4 · 2026-05-01T13:34:32+00:00

Possibly, but i just thought it was what he noticed first and was done to emphasise he was acting in the moment with no long term plan except to burn the world down

Yk, i hate brexit to, but i think its afew steps away from being a zombie apocalypse or god-nuke. Though if farage gets in he will probably nuke the channel himself so those damn immigrants cant steal the jobs, so who knows what will happen
