You Should Draw Hawks X Overhaul

if you did a brain scan on me rn there would be no brain you'd just see spinneraki rotating in there like little music box ballerinas

All the better, honestly. Shiggy’s a union guy!

yes yes touya is experiencing a ‘slow death’ if by slow death you mean being 32 years old and unemployed and living in his successful happily married younger brothers spare bedroom

Twice was my main man inside the Recovery zine ( @recoveryzine ) and this is the whole piece for it, thank you for buying the book!! Leftover copies will be up soon so keep an eye on it!

I was gonna save this for my fic Interference by Half but let’s be real, idk when I’ll ever update that and this is an idea I’ve always wanted to share because I’ve hated the ‘just wear gloves’ “solution” for Tenko/Tomura, so:

If you give Tomura (pre-Deika) a pencil, and he touches it with five fingers, it’ll disintegrate. As long as he doesn’t touch the pencil with five fingers, it’ll be okay and he’ll be able to use it. Which is why Tomura is always shown grabbing things with only a few fingers, and why he was unable to decay ‘Sand’ in Chapter 160. 

Gloves - whether with some of the fingers cut off, as is most often headcanon’d, or each finger is made of different material - is one solution. We see little Tenko with gloves when he is taken in by AfO after manifesting his quirk:

But, see, I’ve always thought, how annoying. How uncomfortable it must be to have to keep gloves on 24/7. Sure, you can get some super-soft, thin-cloth ones; but it must still be bothersome, wearing, washing, getting it wet, etc. What if he gets a rash? So it always made sense to me that instead, Shigaraki would learn to have meticulous control over his fingers - free hands, and able to use his quirk whenever should he need to. 

For a child just starting to learn to use his quirk, this can be hard, true. So how to practice? How to keep his hands free? How can you accommodate a quirk like Decay? Instead of forcing Tenko/Tomura to wear gloves, what about spicing up his surroundings? 

So I thought, to use the pencil example above, why not wrap the pencil in ribbons or yarn? 

Strings of different yarn, ribbons; stickers and fancy tape; patchwork cloth of different materials. On pencils, controllers, toothbrushes, doorknobs, cups, etc. Semi-yarn-bomb the house! Decorate! It doesn’t impede anyone else living with him or using the same objects. 

So that he’s never actually touching an object with five fingers. One finger on wood, one finger on a sticker, one finger on a the yarn. 

It’s not a perfect solution, it’s not 100% decay-proof. There will be unlucky mistakes. Maybe I have the parameters for his quirk wrong. It’ll probably be useless once he’s in post-Deika self (or even, pre-massacre/he never loses his memories?)

But I think, for AU fics that have Tenko growing up normally or rescued, it’s worth considering what his caretakers might do to help him out, adapt his environment to his circumstances, embrace how he is, stuff like that. ‘Solutions’ or changes or a different perspective that make him feel a bit more normal, instead of “The kid who has to wear gloves 24/7 because his quirk is that dangerous”, maybe.

full offense to hawks and jeanist, when i walk in on people having a very private and sensitive family discussion i simply leave and return later

I know I'm following the right people because we all have the same two reactions in regards to Touya being "sexist" which are "of course he's sexist, Endvr is his father" and "of course he's sexist, Horikoshi is writing this story" and I think that's very sexy of us

No....I'm not late at all......

It makes sense to think nods to Frankenstein such as Dabi doing the monster pose are just generally for the viewers enjoyment but I think it would be funny and also in character if Dabi legitimately read and/or watched Frankenstein and went "oh that's just like me I'm going to make this my whole personality"
