he’s looking more like he did when he was a kid 🩵
With Izuku's strong moral compass, of course he'll find Shigaraki’s crimes revolting. And him saying he couldn't forgive him is a valid feeling. What was impressive, though, was when he saw Shiggy’s face seemingly asking for help, he didn’t ignore it. Right there and then, he tried helping. It was beautiful.
The thing with Izuku is that when he sees an opportunity to help, he tries his best to act on it at that exact moment. Even at the tender age of 16. He's not just preaching about morals, he's also backing up his principles with actions.
But it’s also important to understand that he’s just a 16-year-old high schooler. In the grand scheme of things, even with the greatest quirk(s) ever at his disposal, Izuku is but a speck. He can only do so much. To rely solely on his actions to enact change in society when he’s just a boy is asking too much of him. It will do us well to remember that when their society relied on one man, All Might, it made society more susceptible to destruction.
So, no. You can’t expect Izuku’s accomplishments to just, you know, magically change society. It’s a long battle. Years of reconstruction and recovery.
The thing we need to remember is that for all the bad, Izuku didn’t cave, but thought about how he can solve the issues drowning him. Because all this boy ever wanted was to help. And help he did. It doesn’t matter if his help is just a blip compared to the massive scale of evil at play. What matters is he did. He tried. You cannot expect change if no one will start it, and, bless him, Izuku started it. Sparked a change so early, even, right from freaking episode 1.
If anything, it will be weird to me if no one from the adults will change their perspectives at the end of the manga. Because change will only happen if many are on board with it. And the more influence you have? The more likely you’d help Izuku with his efforts to help unconditionally.
If no adults support or guide Izuku as he wonders how evil will end? That will be so painfully realistic.
Misc. League of Villains screencaps from the Season 7 ending "Rokutousei"
two weeks ago, i published a one shot entitled a lesson never learned (only violence) and mentioned i would probably turn this into a multi chapter fic
well, i'm doing it!
it's titled can you melt a frozen heart? (or will you let it burn down?) and the first chapter is already available on ao3 :) (link below)
a lesson never learned works as its prologue since it takes place 7 years before. that's why i'm keeping the two works separated
so, if you like villain shouto, touya being a good sibling (or at least trying), league of villains as family, endeavor facing consequences, tododeku and dabihawks, feel free to give it a try!
if you read it, thank you so much! this means a lot to me 🩷
the dabi urge stan to write a fic in which dabi heals (bc i’ll never let the phoenix quirk theory die) and makes sure endeavor knows he’s not forgiven
ignoring canon so hard because if I start thinking about Touya ending up as a plot device, a simple prop for Enji's character arc and getting no future beyond being the highlight of his abuser's change of heart, I will set myself on fire
I AM A CURSE
i think it's the first time i draw him with a happy smile
I wanted to animate the scene🫠
Better quality here lol
Sorry for spamming Compress but I love him, I'll miss this man so much😔😔😔
"Save to win, win to save"
So you agree that the heroes lost? So you agree that since the heroes didn't save the villains in any way whatsoever, they in fact didn't win?
This is Dabi's twitter fr 🤡
