I could chew his arms off :3c
he would either use that as a teaching opportunity (like teach his students to not be irresponsible, or how to quickly analyze quirks) or avoid those questions like the PLAGUE
meanwhile aizawa is watching him struggling from afar and refuses to help him, something about “having problem child deal with the consequences of his actions”
i like to imagine that somehow the true events of the hosu incident got leaked to the public causing a lot of controversy for shouto and tenyas hero careers
meanwhile izuku is in his classroom just being asked if stains tongue was really that freaky in person by his students
Okay, but imagine the LoV watching the news and some segment on Endeavor comes up and then Mr. Compress out of nowhere says in the most offhand tone, "You know, a year or so before all this started, I dated that guy's daughter for a couple weeks."
And Dabi has to sit there with his eye twitching and all, Wtf, wtf, wtf, wtf...wait, why do I even care? I don't care. Fuck it. Fuyumi can do what she wants. Touya is dead and Dabi does not care if some second-rate sideshow act wannabe-- "...did...you break her heart?"
"What? No, we weren't really all that compatible, we both agreed the age gap was a little much, I found out who her father was and that terrified me because what sane person wants that for an in-law, she was starting to question whether or not she was even heterosexual at all, so we broke it off like amicable adults and haven't spoken since. Really, young man, what do you take me for?"
Completely oblivious to the small world bs that's happening and the bullet he just dodged.
Guys remember to vote for your favourite characters
I really want an LOV sweep. Pls
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
allow me to answer my own ask bc i need to add my personal favorite
i love a dramatic bitch
favorite dabi moment? (doesn’t matter if it’s a serious or silly one)🙏
All of them, I love my man wife💕 buttt I am partial to these scenes
The first time we see him verbally express guilt🙏 my bbg u did nothing wrong. BUT ALSO HE LOOKS SOO PRETTY. He always looks better when he's being genuine.
☹️
Literally any of the scenes with his lil smiles oh my GOD MY BABYY
Really any part of his reveal, Dabi's dance is my fav episode throughout the whole series (butttttt when his fight with shoto is fully animated that might change)
Then also the couch scene. I don't have to add a pic, you KNOW what I'm talking about. I actually love any scene where he's crying cause like,, idk it's just such a break from his asshole persona. It's a meeting point between Dabi and Touya. ALSO UGH AFTER HIS REVEAL WHEN HE'S JUST,, HIMSELF??! The best ever tbh. I love how loud and obnoxious he gets, total opposite of how he was in the beginning.
the "i wrote this instead of sleeping" tag is so funny to me
like. yes. i have in fact written this at 3am. it's part of my writting process
tw: abuse, domestic violence, dehumanization, and everything you expect to come with talking about the todorokis
Endeavor was right in calling Shouto a masterpiece, because that's all he ever was to him. Just a canvas to imprint whatever beliefs he had onto. Shouto was never made to be a person. He was made to be an object, an immovable force, something Endeavor can sculpt to his desire.
We see this through Shouto's demeanor. His inability to show emotions the way others do to that extreme of a level is usually a trauma response. He's purposefully blank, lest he face the wrath of Endeavor noticing the stain on his perfect painting.
Dabi even mentions this.
Endeavor wasn't the only one who saw Shouto as a means to an end. Dabi did too. He calls Shouto a puppet and trophy son throughout the series genuinely does not seem to consider that he has feelings at all. He wants to break him, because Shouto was given the life he was promised, but he can't see past what Endeavor told him to be like class 1a did.
Dabi's plotline was never about reconciling with Shouto, it was about destroying everything Endeavor thought made him great.
Endeavor controlled every moment of Shouto's life from the day he was born. Training, probably diet, every single second of every day was planned to expect max power and effort. He wanted a machine that he could show off, like fucking Tony Stark or some shit.
This is why when Midoriya says "it's your power," it's so impactful. He essentially told Shouto "you don't have to be what he made you to be." He was finally given permission to choose, something no one in his life (not even his mother) gave him. When you're a kid like that, you don't have the perspective that you can change. Midoriya believed that he could, so Shouto did.
Shouto wanted his father to see him as valuable outside of what he could do for him. But he never gets that. That is why the ending is so important for Shouto.
Shouto's arc is, at a base level, finding purpose outside of what his father expected.
You know who was given the freedom to do that from the get go?
Touya.
Let's get into the meat of the issue. Endeavor genuinely cared about Touya. He gave him permission to be great. He told him that there is more to his life than being Endeavor's 'mini me' and that Endeavor would support him in what he'd pursue.
He didn't do this with Fuyumi or Natsuo, but I think at this point he would've been willing to care about them if they offered something he thought was valuable. Because at the end of the day, even if Touya wasn't going to be a hero, Endeavor believed he'd still do great things. That he would bring honor to their name.
Endeavor only started caring about how he treated his family once he saw what it did to Dabi. His wife's mental breakdown didn't do it. The disfiguration of his youngest didn't do it. Breaking his child down until all he was was just another puddle of vomit on the floor at the age of five didn't do it. Not even the death of his beloved child did it.
But seeing how he ruined Touya's potential did.
Endeavor's change only came from the knowledge that he was his own ruin. His apologies come from a place of selfishness and it destroyed his family.
The thing that both Shouto and Dabi had in common is that they both just wanted to be enough for Endeavor. And at the end of the day, and the manga, I truly don't think that was ever achieved.
And that is why I can never forgive Endeavor.
my favorite tropes in mha fanfics is when nedzu tells the teachers that he wants to personally teach izuku
and then everyone is like “no no no nononononono-“
(+ bonus point if one of them [usually aizawa] used to be nedzu’s personal student)
