He's Always Up To Something, We Just Don't Know What.

……………last time Shigaraki said "do your best". it was to a Overhaul that he left armless and "quirkless".

ngl as someone who's dad to deal with parents similar to EndNevWhore I'd pay money to see Shouto have some sort of break down or Anything because of him but Nope Never Gonna Happen

this is a super good point bcs in addition to all the sucking up to endv going on, the effects of abuse are not dealt with at all?? right now, it feels like the worst consequence of abuse is hurt feelings that can be apologized for, rather than  lasting impacts on a survivor’s psychology that can take so many years and so much therapy to get over, if that’s at all possible. :/

i’m here for the LOV being chaotic dumbass but i think this arc is just more proof that hori has nothing to say about the politics of the world he created and that makes both the values of the protag and the antag extremely fucking dull

goodreads reviewers aren't human

Just Endeavor being ugly and unhinged

with awful personality

normalize blaming endeavor for everything

Japanese Spinaraki fans having fun with wordplay about Spinner’s quirk, Gecko, which in Japanese is yamori - which sounds exactly like the word for housekeeper… so Spinner is/would be Shigaraki’s housewife

Sidenote on my tags on my last reblog, but I also wonder if the open front on Dabi's new outfit isn't also meant to invoke seppuku imagery, the samurai ritual suicide

What made me think of this is the fact that Horikoshi clearly gave some thought to how much of Dabi's chest to expose, cause the preliminary design didn't show a lot of skin (notice the version on the left, which is clearly reminiscent of burial clothes, or 死装束 in japanese):

The right side is crossed over the left, in typical fashion for funeral ceremonies. Normally, you wear a yukata or a kimono with the left over the right, as only the dead are dressed the other way around. Dabi's outfit is then supposed to bring to mind the way you'd dress up a corpse for the last rites before a burial.

However, Horikoshi discarded this more "proper" look for what we as a fandom called the "yassiefied" version, with an open, bare chest:

Which honestly brings to mind the aforementioned seppuku ritual.

I know that Dabi is no samurai and that he normally likes loose and low cut clothes, but the fact that his burial-clothes-inspired shroud is specifically open all the way down to his belly seems too deliberate to be coincidence, or something thrown in for fanservice alone, especially considering how the design wasn't originally meant to be... Slutty, for lack of a better term.

So I guess that what I'm saying is: since Dabi went into this war with the intention of committing murder-suicide, it wouldn't surprise me if his outfit too was meant to invoke that duality: that is, the idea that he's both someone already dead (and whom his family mourned and buried), but also someone ready to take his own life to correct a wrong

Idk, just some food for thought

i would literally never understand why people hate endeavor antis so much… like am i wrong to hate an abuser? or a character in general?

“but he’s changing”

ok i still hate him…

“you just don’t want acknowledge the development of characters and just wanna hate them”

some of us are abuse victims, honey.

So something posessed me to watch the va panels for the bnha english dub and everyone has pretty regular, boring answers and then you get Jason Liebrecht just saying shit. "Whenever I want to get into the role of Dabi I just think about my terrible childhood... My mama gave me up when I was three... that's not funny" LMAOO 😭😭😭
