Dabi is AMAZING and RARE rep for abuse victims.
I'll say it once, twice, a million times. A lot of the time victims do want to hurt or even kill their abusers, being blinded by it and not caring who's hurt in the process, and that's something that's rarely acknowledged in media. More often than not we get character's who have been through therapy, they've made up and made peace with the people who hurt them, they're okay!! But we never get to see what happens when those people don't get the help they need, (well, sometimes we do, but usually we only get to see the madman that was formed by abuse, not the abuse itself. And it's even rarer that we get to see these characters cry or show empathy towards their own victims) which is why I think it's really important for it to be shown. Like, not as a warning, but more as a "yes, other victims think this way. You aren't supposed to be just fine after going through that. You need help, and that's fine."
I do see a lot of people think that abuse victims becoming killers/villains demonizes abuse victims and like,, I find that ridiculously stupid. If you go through heavy trauma, especially if it was inflicted by the people meant to love and take care of you, you will NOT be okay, no matter how okay you think you are, you're not. Victims often DO want to hurt people, they DO think about bad things and do bad things quite often, it's not normal but it's common. Hurt people hurt people sometimes!! It sucks, I know people hate to acknowledge it, but it's TRUE. You can claim that saying that demonizes victims, and maybe it does, but if you don't let people know that they're not alone, they won't even try to get help. And Dabi is a good representation of that no matter what you think. Throughout the show we see him express empathy through actions AND words on occasion (ex. Him crying, while saying he thinks about his victims very often)
Hurt people hurt people, but that doesn't mean they're not people. And Dabi shows that in a way that I haven't seen in any other character.
(I know I repeated myself a couple times but I am SOOO sick and tired. Like, as in, I am tired aswell as sick. Not as in I'm sick n tired of whatever)
Not all venom fans are monster fuckers đ some of us are just aroace disasters who like the idea of a platonic soulmate who likes to murder annoying people for you, is that so bad?

My favorite ship AND favorite movie? As if you didn't already made me love your art! Now Tomura just needs to look/act a bit more like an absolutely hopeless loser and it's even more perfect. I love my loser Eddie.
But I absolutely adored how his scars are in the venom form as well. It suits him. And maybe wear like in ear headphones so he can talk to Venom/or whatever the symbiote is named in this AU without people thinking he is crazy and so he wears them all the time, just in case.
Or maybe he is already hunted for some crimes and all! Ohh I want more Lore!!
And maybe like my favorite scene with them as well? Like Tomura chilling at Toya's/Dabi's and some cops or special unit showing up and the symbiote is like, "We need to kill them all!" "No we are not going to kill people." "But... one pile of bodies, one pile of heads." "We are not going to kill them!" Or maybe they do want to kill, but Toya is around, and so he wants to appear cool and not like a serial killer.
I am very excited!! I am sure that idea has been added to the list of writing ideas!
when somethingâs kinda rad, but not too rad

Iâm tired of hearing people say âDisneyâs Cinderella is sanitized. In the original tale, the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to make the slipper fit and get their eyes pecked out by birds in the end.â
I understand this mistake. Iâm sure a lot of people buy copies of the complete Grimmâs Fairy Tales, see their tale of Aschenputtel translated as âCinderellaâ, and assume what theyâre reading is the âoriginalâ version of the tale. Or else they see Into the Woods and make the same assumption, because Sondheim and Lapine chose to base their Cinderella plot line on the Grimmsâ Aschenputtel instead of on the more familiar version. Itâs an understandable mistake. But Iâm still tired of seeing it.
The Brothers Grimm didnât originate the story of Cinderella. Their version, where there is no fairy godmother, the heroine gets her elegant clothes from a tree on her motherâs grave, and where yes, the stepsisters do cut off parts of their feet and get their eyes pecked out in the end, is not the âoriginal.â Nor did Disney create the familiar version with the fairy godmother, the pumpkin coach, and the lack of any foot-cutting or eye-pecking.
If you really want the âoriginalâ version of the story, youâd have to go back to the 1st century Greco-Egyptian legend of Rhodopis. That tale is just this: âA Greek courtesan is bathing one day, when an eagle snatches up her sandal and carries it to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Pharaoh searches for the owner of the sandal, finds her and makes her his queen.â
Or, if you want the first version of the entire plot, with a stepdaughter reduced to servitude by her stepmother, a special event that sheâs forbidden to attend, fine clothes and shoes given to her by magic so she can attend, and her royal future husband finding her shoe after she loses it while running away, then itâs the Chinese tale of Ye Xian youâre looking for. In that version, she gets her clothes from the bones of a fish that was her only friend until her stepmother caught it and ate it.
But if you want the Cinderella story that Disneyâs film was directly based on, then the version you want is the version by the French author Charles Perrault. His Cendrillon is the Cinderella story that became the best known in the Western world. His version features the fairy godmother, the pumpkin turned into a coach, mice into horses, etc, and no blood or grisly punishments for anyone. It was published in 1697. The Brothers Grimmâs Aschenputtel, with the tree on the grave, the foot-cutting, etc. was first published in 1812.
The Grimmsâ grisly-edged version might feel older and more primitive while Perraultâs pretty version feels like a sanitized retelling, but such isnât the case. Theyâre just two different countriesâ variations on the tale, French and German, and Perraultâs is older. Nor is the Disney film sanitized. Itâs based on Perrault.
