Weak Hero Is Such A Fun Webtoon! A Bit Of An Unexpected Hit In The School Action/martial Arts Genre Because…

Weak Hero is such a fun Webtoon! A bit of an unexpected hit in the school action/martial arts genre because…

Every single high school/middle school character is so embarrassing and at least one other character knows it. Nobody has escaped a callout about their grimdark/chuuni/tough guy behaviour except for Big Ben. Big Ben only escapes this by being made fun of for being a dumbass instead, and everyone secretly respects him the most for being generally a good guy.

All the antagonists have friends and enemies of their own! Their friendships are genuine and, in some cases, have developed from much more parasitic relationships as the characters grow.

The central conflict of the story, which is about a bunch of kids fighting each other in various centralized crime rings, is actually about poverty as a direct result of systemic corruption??? Like, half of these children have less than no interest in getting into fist fights, and have ACTIVELY TRIED TO AVOID FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER, but have been steered into it by the interests of ??? corrupt property developers ??? and politicians manipulating a deeply corrupt school system ??? There is actually a pretty well actualized subplot here that is thoughtful about the root of the problem and the failure of many attempts to resolve it???????????????????????

The kick off of the WHOLE STORY is a kid attempting (and succeeding) to fight against corruption with legal resource provision for the poor at no profit THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM and GRANTING AGENCIES, who is then harmed by other children in response to a loss of privilege that occurs DIRECTLY because of the elevation of others out of suffering. 

The key antagonist is locked in a little math competition with the main character. This math competition is clearly friendly??? Both of them would prefer academic pursuits if they weren’t driven into their current positions in essentially a criminal underworld, and both make regular attempts to leave said underworld (Donald just wants to be business-facing!!!!).

References homophobia as an aspect of school bullying without the narrative itself being homophobic. Many characters feelings towards those closest to them are open-ended and, upon having other characters reference it (re: “boyfriends” and homophobic jokes), there is no real denial of feelings. 

Not every character can fight, and in fact one of the key current conflicts, in a beautiful parallel to the start of the story, is kicked off by a character who cannot fight using his head to try and do something good for his community. Very cyclical, very nice.

Not Long After, They Heard The Whinge Of Engines; Soon, Two SUVs Arrived. Out Jumped Not Local Police,

Not long after, they heard the whinge of engines; soon, two SUVs arrived. Out jumped not local police, but a horde: 15 men armed with bats and axes. The documentary crew broke for Bosutar’s car but couldn’t get the locks in time. The attackers pried the doors open, snapped the key, slashed the tires, and smashed the camera equipment. They beat Mocanu, trapped between the car and the mountainside, unconscious. They clubbed Dragolea in the face. The director dove down the nearby ravine, where he hid under the roots of a fallen tree and called the police, begging them to come with their sirens on. “I said, ‘They’re killing the journalists in the forest, and they are tracking me down,’” he recounted. “I knew cases where people had died in the forest, I saw axes around me. If someone didn’t call, we were going to die for sure.”

this shouldn’t have to be said but if someone who struggles with cognitive issues such as fibro fog, autism or adhd etc has difficulty speaking or getting their point across, do not point it out. im talking about stuttering, misremembering words and definitions, using the wrong words in place of other ones, mixing up words or merging them together. you are allowed to help us find the right word but wait for us to ask first and give us a chance to find it ourselves. blurting out random words causes a lot more confusion for us and we often end up losing our train of thought.

also, in a similar vein, we may pause to think about what we’re going to say next, and it’s important that you not interrupt. for me, my train of thought is already on the verge of derailing. if i stop talking mid-sentence, give me a second to find my words and sort out my jumbled mess of a brain. don’t start speaking like we’ve finished our sentence and please don’t just abandon the conversation. it’s very frustrating, especially when you make jokes or tease us for forgetting words or misspeaking and it makes it much harder for us to get to our point. and tbh it’s embarrassing and it sucks because our brains aren’t doing what we want or need them to do and we don’t need a reminder every time it happens.

like the jokes might seem harmless or lighthearted but it hurts nonetheless because we are constantly in a struggle against our own brains. it seems like it should be such an obvious thing, not to tease or make fun of someone with cognitive issues, but so many people do it, including some of you who don’t think you do— particularly if you don’t think the reason behind it is a disability. it’s not the same as joking about your friend making a typo in the group chat. those are minor slip-ups and they happen to everyone. for a lot of us, they’re constant. we’re almost always trying to get our brains to work with us rather than against us and pointing it out only makes it that much harder to concentrate on actually articulating our thoughts instead of focusing purely on avoiding misspeaking so you won’t point it out again. obviously this will vary from person to person, not everyone with these symptoms feels the same way i do, but i think it’s a good rule of thumb to just. not interrupt and/or draw unnecessary/unwanted attention to our speech problems. i don’t think it’s too much to ask.

My favorite thing to come from the Death Note Exhibition was the 3D sculpture.

Seeing Mello and Near in a 3D form makes me love the tiny details about them more.

~ Nears cheeks are more rounder than Mellos and his facial features are a lot softer in comparison.

My Favorite Thing To Come From The Death Note Exhibition Was The 3D Sculpture.

~ Mello has some roundness to his upper cheeks but his face is overall thinner making his jawline sharper and come to more of a point in his chin area.

My Favorite Thing To Come From The Death Note Exhibition Was The 3D Sculpture.

~ Nears lips are small and turn upwards at the edge

My Favorite Thing To Come From The Death Note Exhibition Was The 3D Sculpture.

~Mello's lips are fuller and have an almost pouty look to them as Mello keeps his lips turned downwards.

I wish I could have gone to the Death Note Exhibition myself to see them in person.

Just a hunch here, gop. But I think being 14 and married to a gross older man or dying in a mining accident is a bigger threat to a child than hearing about trans people.
