repost from twt bc i like tumblr better lol
JKR attacking ace people recently after years of intense transphobia should tell you that these people hate all LGBTQIA+ folks, but they start by going for the most marginalized and misunderstood ones. they’ll move on to hating pan and bi and then all of us.
at least this shit proves that is was never about "protecting the children" from the scary transgenders and that it was always about punching down on already small and marginalized communities.
to think they have selective homophobia is delusional, to think that “oh no i’m not one of these weird gender people” is delusional. to think you're safe from their hate is delusional egoism. "oh no not me im not xenogender" "oh no not me im not trans" "oh no not me im the normal one"
at some point it will be you and by then there will be no one left to fight for your rights. this is how you weaken a community, by telling some they’re worth more than the rest.
Happy Pride Month y'all!! 💖🧡💛💚💙💜

Aizawa: Let’s not Deku this into a worse situation than it already is…
Deku: Did you just use my hero name as a verb?
Rando NPC: Todoroki Touya is slowly marching towards death.
Meanwhile, Touya: *Apparently regrew his tear ducts and can cry real tears now, a sign of regeneration*
Also Touya: *heart speeds up as he grapples with his emotions*
Rando NPC: His heart can't take the strain!
I had a dream about a silly filler/omake in the U.A Dorms where most of Class 1-A forgot to turn in a test for grading and they get the idea to sneak into Aizawa's room to slip their papers in the stack. Never mind he'd probably notice if the stack had suddenly tripled in size. Dream logic.
Anyway, the funny thing was that they snuck in while he was sleeping and he woke up immediately, but he was comfortable 'n basking in the sunlight so he faked sleep and just. quietly assessed their skills on stealth and infiltration. grumpy and a little bit amused. definitely didn't want to bother getting up. It was really funny, all the individual ways the students tried to be sneaky 'n using their quirks and such, when you knew Aizawa was already wide awake and silently grading judging them.
Maybe that dream would be funny Dadzawa fic material. Who knows?
as someone who wants to write canon divergence but is to lazy to watch/read the canon again, i'm so thankful for the heroes who wrote the fandom wiki pages T-T
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.
Back at it again.
