Dabi is so funny to me 'cause he is not even half as cool as he thinks he is when he is with the League. All those posts and fics and art of him acting smooth are a lie 'cause there's no way the League wouldn't get his ass for it.
This is the man who try to use his fire to fight Machia and when it didn't work, he tried to play it cool saying he had a top-notch recruit to pick up. But A) the recruit in question was a traitor/spy, not better that Twice recruiting Overhaul, B) Toga called him out immediately he was only running away 'cause his fire did not work.
This is the man who tried to make fun of the rest of the lov suggesting too on-the-face code-names to Toga, only for Compress to remind him that his villain code-name was cremation.
Toga called him out for trying to play it cool but being kind to her. On his first apparition we saw him getting a Twice pep-talk because he needed more confidence or whatever. He was another Stain fanboy for a while. He is the dork who dances when he's excited. He is the one who gets easily car-sick and doesn't like to eat fish. He dyes his hair all the time, he uses bad disguises that work who knows why, he's awkward, dramatic and he cares so much he cries blood. He still calls his little siblings Natsuo-kun and Fuyumi-chan.
I'm just saying--! Listen, he is another dork cringe-fail / world class terrorist, the same as the other members of the League, okay?.

Sorry Mr Compress isn't there, there weren't enough people in the reference image :/
dabi praying at touya's altar is so poetic. he pays adieu to touya because every part of touya in him had died in those three years and ultimately when he visited his home in hopes he could still mend things only to submerged in the same despair that had burned him alive; to learn that he is nothing but a memory on display, to know that his supposed death hasn't changed the meaning of his existence one bit, to live over again that he is still very much replaceable and forgettable to his family and to witness again the very burning house that had once suffocated him in his own fumes, that the same flames still burn fleshes of those who bleed his blood. and along that died everything touya had in himself, which is essentially forgiveness and trying to look for his father's validation that he's enough. dabi was born from years of ruins of a burning household, from years of continuous abuse and mistreatment and pain. from being neglected and constantly living with the truth of not being loved enough. when one hasn't been loved and shown empathy without a condition to fulfil how could one be expected to love and empathize? how could one know love and empathy? dabi was born from touya's ruins that had burned once from the very feelings of lovelessness and grief.
