He Got Nervous, Okay?

is there a tddk zine anywhere? [ it echoes into the void ]

絵柄の模索中

post epilogue todoroki has longer hair and looks more like rei and u can’t change my mind. not to mention how badly dabi and hawks were dealt with :(

So I am once again back for another annoyed/ angry rant this one fueled by insomnia, rage and my incessant inability to make my mind shut up when I'm supposed to be trying to sleep.

I've written a bit about this topic already but god do I absolutely loathe that Horikoshi decided to give Izuku a quirk have him live his dream for under 2 years only to have the quirk ripped away in the most bloody brutal unnecessary way possible, have Izuku graduate with the rest of his peers and then immediately have him go into teaching and have all his friends move on with their lives without him. Only for Bakugo to waltz in with that mech suit and offer him a place at his agency. It's disgusting and I hate it. Also there's no way in fuck anyone can convince me that Bakugo is the main person who paid for that. Like hell! And on top of that offering Izuku a place at HIS agency after giving him the suit!? That screams yet manipulation on Bakugo's part! It's giving "hey so I know I've treated you like shit and no one's really had much to do with you in years but I'm giving you this opportunity and hey you should join my agency so you have to spend even more time kissing the ground I walk on," vibes and it disgusts me. The only things Horikoshi did right in that finale/ epilogue were Shoto's rank being what it is though his updated look left much to be desired so points off for that, Bakugo's rank being 15 and likely to fall because of his attitude and Izuku turning down Bakugo's offer of joining his agency. Other than that the finale was shit and I'm livid at how badly Izuku was treated. And no one will EVER convince me that Shoto and Izuku haven't spoken much in years! Those two are best friends if not boyfriends and I will die on that hill!

I’m not caught up yet but it still blows my entire mind that at the very end of BNHA—the last panel (in BOTH “final” chapters)—Shouto is looking directly at Izuku like he’s hung the fucking moon. Like he’s Everything. Like he’s ready to follow him to the ends of the earth. I don’t care WHAT yall have to say about Izuku’s feelings but you cannot look at this and tell me there’s not something going on there, even if it’s one-sided

As a Tododeku stan I will take these crumbs and run with them. For miles. FOREVER

Oh hey they're sitting next to each other. Thank you for the crumbs, Horikoshi 🙏

I can't wait to see all of those scenes animated 🥹💕

Having fun, watching the stars, Hanako being the villain

AND MEIS STORYYYYY I WILL CRY SO MUCH

And of course the clouds scene...

(This is me asking the animation team to do the Manga justice because I NEED THIS TO BE AMAZING)

Picture perfect arc for the win

wip

wanderer sweep… /j

the thing with dabi is that his actions speak louder than words. he contradicts himself every other sentence, which is common with trauma. he SAYS he doesn’t care about the league but he ran up like 8 flights of stairs (and he NEVER runs) just to try and save twice, and stated five seconds before he claimed he doesnt care about them that he was upset at his death (bc he wanted to use him, yeah yeah. personally i have no clue how twice would have fit into his plan so i think he was just bsing there but thats up for interpretation) and then right after said that h*wks should have focused on him instead of anyone else (ie. tried to kill him instead)

like... its pretty clear that he’s an unreliable narrator. he claims he’s just using the league for his own goals but why fight with them in the mla arc? they’re outnumbered, weakened, and lack resources. wouldn’t it make more sense to just join the mla instead? clearly he has some modicum of trust and care for the lov, even if he himself doesn’t realize it.

Yes! He definitely is the one person in the League who very obviously tries to keep a distance as shown when he is missing in big moments like when Magne gets killed and Compress loses his arm, but then despite the fact he never even met Overhaul, he helps take him down later on in the arc.

What's really important to note, too, is the fact that his biggest weakness is his own quirk and yet he fought Hawks to try and save Twice.

He clearly put a lot of faith in the League, considering he joined them after the only noteworthy achievement they had was the USJ incident. But even when their hideout was taken away from them and they had nothing, he still stuck around.

Yes, you can claim everything he does is because he wants to use them, but he's also shown on several occasions that he respects Shigaraki.

If you compare his usual speaking patterns with that in the broadcast in Japanese, he speaks really polite instead of having that typical rough way of speaking. Dabi is his villain persona. He literally admits that everything he's done was to ensure making Endeavor fall as hard and deep as possible; not just by boosting Endeavor's career, but also by building himself up to be this awful villain.

If he wants to shock the world by showing that Endeavor's own son has become a villain, he can't just be a random criminal, he needs to be a big threat.

And I think to him being rough with everyone and keeping a distance is part of that. Besides, we saw that he is willing to die during this, so what's the point in trying to build up a relationship, when you're gonna die soon anyway?

The problem is that it's natural to form a bond. People, the more you learn about them, become a part of your life. They make their way into your brain, whether you want them to or not.

Besides, people have an easier time getting close to those they can relate to, so the League all being people who have been through a lot of pain, who have been judged, pushes away, and hurt all their lives? I think even if he tries really hard not to, he can recognize himself in them, too, and wants to save them because he would want to be saved also.

And can I just say I like that first piece of evidence you gave? Dabi's love language is running up multiple flights of stairs!
