you can take away the hc that touya survived from my cold dead hands

bc if he did die, that means he died in the most dehumanized way (strapped in some kind of tube, with a body falling apart, barely able to talk, while being stared at by his abuser) and i cannot live with that knowledge

even if i love touya and i want him to be happy, i would have honestly preferred to see him die during the final battle

not to be insane about Shigadabi on main but uh. Shigaraki who was so sure his only purpose in life, the only thing he is good for is destruction of everything around him, whether he wants to destroy or not. Wanting to become the saviour to the League and not even allowing himself to consider the thought properly, because everything he touches turns to dust, and no matter how much he wanted to protect his people, two of them winded up death and for the entirety of the second war he was unable to do anything to help them survive.

that Shigaraki learning that Dabi has survived the war and the combined efforts of his own suicidal tendencies and his father's attempt to take his life, and now has months left to live. That he is still going to die soon, despite seemingly being accepted by his family, despite Endeavor's fortune and the quirks and technology that are rapidly evolving, it's like they are not even bothering to try to save his life.

Tomura heals him with a single five-fingers touch. and for the first time since Dabi came into his life, he chooses Shigaraki and the League over his family.

OMG YES

i feel like to him it was hilarious how absolutely no one could figure out that he was Touya and that’s why he’s being so obvious about it

“how sad, todoroki shouto” is basically the same as “HEY LIL BRO, YOU MISSED ME?”

also the concept of dabi name dropping touya around the league is hilarious

just

dabi: hey did you guys know endeavor has a son?

shigaraki: bitch we literally fought him

dabi: no but like,,,, another one. named touya

compress: oh that’s quite interesting! do you know more about him?

dabi: he died lmaoooooo

spinner: yeah we could use that against endeavor

toga: oh noooo how did he die?

dabi: burned alive 🤣🤣🤣 can you imagine????

shigaraki: …ok but the irony-

if there's one thing I know about Dabi it's the fact that he was so fucking annoying about his hidden identity.

*staring dead in the eyes* 'How sad, Todoroki Shouto...' (he cried himself to sleep about this later)

'I guess it's nice to meet you for the first time, Endeavour, OR IS IT? 😏'

he stalks Fuyumi one day and when she notices he cryptically announces this was a fateful meeting 'WASN'T, TODOROKI FUYUMI?' staring her in the eyes with Enji's trademarked shade of blue eyes and promptly leaves.

sends his mother rindou flowers to the hospital, signed with his name, and she assumes it's Enji who is losing it this time, but she guesses she can appreciate the thoughtful gift from her regretful husband (?)

he runs into Natsuo at the store one day and instead of running to the exit he makes sure to brush shoulders with his and take off his hood, pushing up his dyed hair so that the white roots stand out more and goes: 'Fancy meeting you here, Todoroki Natsuo'.

'??????'

then Fuyumi and Natsuo are shocked by his broadcast not because never in their wildest dreams did they imagine their older brother alive but because they were convinced they hallucinated the League of Villain's Dabi actually being their deceased older brother Touya and now they aren't sure what to think about the audacity this fucker had to approach them like that and leave without elaborating.

but with the League? can't torture his backstory out of him. he name-dropped Todoroki Touya at least 7 times around them.

i think it's the first time i draw him with a happy smile

midoriya-sensei!

i cant take it anymore

lmao that’s my theory too

but it’s so sad?????? imagine thinking for years that your son is out there growing up and becoming a responsible or something

and one day your nurse is just “ok girl i need to tell you something-”

and while you’re probably still mourning your ‘dead’ son shows up ON NATIONAL TV like “hey guys my name is touya, endeavor is an asshole, hope you enjoy me causing trouble everywhere <3”

Ur telling me that Touya "died" not long after Rei was hospitalized. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS MOM BEFORE THE INCIDENT PLRWSEEEREHSHH😞 How did they break the news to her oml

me when i have to write about science

(i’m the one who decided to make shouto a science nerd)
