I Don't Really See How People Call Or Think Dabi Lazy Of All Things When He's Spent The Last Ten Years

i don't really see how people call or think dabi lazy of all things when he's spent the last ten years of his life keeping his walking corpse alive through obsession and virulent hatred, meticulously planning out his revenge, all the while honing his quirk, even when his skin withered and charred away from his body.

or the fact that, before that, he kept repeatedly burning himself on his own flames when he secretly went off to train as a child without pause or care for his well-being in order to not be seen as defective and worthless as he felt and was made to feel but instead as someone who could achieve the same toxic dream that was ripped away from him to be peddled to shouto.

like ... "i can't wait to see that miserable expression on his face. all i've been waiting for ... it's taken so much to get this far." — touya.

let's not forget the fact that he ... canonly kills those that he deems worthless because they live day to day without ambition when he scouts for recruits.

and if i really, really want to reach, we also have the smash!! dabi who worked his little ass off on that island. 😭

not to mention he gets mad when tomura isn't doing anything to help.

tl;dr — dabi's a hard worker. he has been since he was a kid for the wrong reasons, and that has continued as an adult. but he is still a hard worker, an over-achiever.

i could see him taking breaks when absolutely needed, but those would be short-lived and fleeting at best. much of his life has been.
