League Of Villains Designs From XEBEC (2024)

Redrawing of the touya portrait for a zine piece im working on, it wont be super visable so i wanted to post it separatly

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

super quickly sketch

- Did you have a shitty childhood? Bad parents? - No! I had a good family. Two brothers and one sister, and wonderful parents. And we all lived happily in a beautiful house. - And what happened? - I’m.

Hey there, wuzzup? Just wanted to ask a quick question: Do you think that, if someone would grab or pet Dabis arm, he would feel the touch? Because you can't tell me you get tf I know how many degree burns and your nerves don't get fucked up by it. Same goes for his back, neck and legs. Do you think he'd feel it if someone would touch him at those areas?

Hey! I tried to research this myself a while back for fic purposes, and I only managed to find out that third degree burns are usually painless because they cause nerve damage. I also know that burnt skin feels leathery and stiff. I don’t know if that also affects the sense of touch, and if so, to what degree. I tried to research that too, but the online sources that deal with the topic without just saying “go immediately to a medic!” are few and far in between, and those that do are hella graphic, so a big nope for me. I’m sorry I can’t be of much help here, but graphic depictions of injuries make me nauseous

Maybe someone else can help? 

For the longest time, I always wondered why Shouto's left side was his fire side and why his right side was his ice side specifically. Dunno why, I just did. But when I was washing my hands the other day I thought, Wait....... Is the order of his Half Cold Half Hot supposed to correspond to the temperature on a fucking sink??!??! Cuz the left handle on a sink faucet is the hot water and the right handle is the cold water??!?!??!! I have no idea if that's actually what his design is referencing, but if it is, then it's fucking hysterical.

My full piece for @bnhaslumberpartyzine !!

Shop reopens next week so you can still get yourself copy of this lovely zine 💖💖💖

essentially Dabi said no to League Bonding Camp to go spend the month hanging out with Shigaraki’s creepy stepdad and weird necromancied dogs
