So Something Posessed Me To Watch The Va Panels For The Bnha English Dub And Everyone Has Pretty Regular,

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

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. :/

anyways i really do want dabi and rei to meet face to face and her start crying and him tenderly lifting her chin before putting on some big sloppy grin and telling her how miserable of a creature she is and then proceed to set her ablaze. King. bonus if it’s in front of the rest of the family.

something i thought was funny: u know that belt that dabi wears? ive met at least two gay ppl who wear that exact same belt imao

dabi is a gay people

Anyway, on the issue of how Bakugou never gets consequences, and that generally the bad things that happen to him have no connection with his misdeeds...Aoyama's involvement in his kidnapping could have complicated that a bit

Why is Aoyama the traitor? Because his parents arranged for him to receive a quirk from All for One. Why did they do that? So that Aoyama could be "normal" so that he could be spared from the ostracization of being quirkless - i.e. to protect him from the childhood Izuku had. So more or less Aoyama is the traitor because his parents wanted to protect him from people like Bakugou.

The set up is there for this, but there isn't really any follow through with it

Call this a conspiracy theory

but with the recent reveal about Tenko's quirk and having spent some time dwelling on the details of Touya's death there are more and more things not making sense in the context we were given.

Touya died in a fire on Sekoto peak after having a breakdown which lead to him losing control of his fire. This happened notably on a day when Enji was at home, having a day off from work.

Then Touya's burned body was taken away by All For One, who had broken off a fragment of his jawbone and planted it as evidence of his death.

As neglectful as Enji may have been as a father, he was still a hero. I have no doubt he got to the mountain as soon as he realized there is a fire. The Todoroki mansion was also located close to the Sekoto peak, as both Enji and Touya used to go there regularly to train. Are we really supposed to believe AFO just so happened to come across the fire started by Touya, manually break off his jawbone, leave it there and get away from the mountain with his body faster than it took for Endeavour to come there? Enji is the one living there, not All For One. Touya's breakdown is not something that can be predicted by the other party, unless they are keeping close contact with the Todoroki family. Ujiko directly confirms they were indeed aware of the private matters happening in the Todoroki house, which lead to AFO taking interest in Touya.

Those kids were our spares, in case anything happened to Tomura Shigaraki.

What did happen to Tomura Shigaraki, when he still was Tenko Shimura?

AFO sought him out when he was still a baby, and immediately took away his quirk factor. He was meeting with his father privately and encouraged his behaviour towards his son. He even contacted Tenko's friends. When Tenko was 5 years old, AFO personally passed the Decay quirk to him in another meeting.

AFO was a fucking control freak, manipulating Tenko's life to unbelievable degree. Everything that happened to Tenko was a doing of All For One, pretty much. And once he had hold on him, he kept him in complete control and isolation for most of his life.

Is it really so far fetched to believe that Touya's death on Sekoto was also AFO's doing?

We already have the confirmation Touya was one of Shigaraki's possible replacements and AFO toon specific interest in his quirk, before giving up on it.

We also know the only reason they let Touya go was because his body was so messed up Garaki prognosed his life expectancy after leaving the facility to be a month tops.

Another point that stands out is Touya's ice quirk awakening. The evolution of quirks explanation is handwavey at best. But if the condition for Touya was a near-death experience, then wouldn't a 13 years old boy who was used to dealing with minor burns and didn't want to burn to death fulfill those conditions better than a 24 years old man who was dealing with extreme burns on the regular and actively wanted to die?

Anyway, All For One is the one who started that fire on Sekoto, not Touya. In this essay I will-

love how they never developed shouto outside family trauma to the point only canon trait fanfic authors can given him on ao3 is cold soba

i knew i wasnt gonna like this fight very much lol shouto barely reacts to the shit that happened to touya and is instead is like "u shouldnt be dragging other ppl into this!!" like?? if i found out literally any of that happened to my siblings (or even just people i know??) i would react very badly and i dont even get along with my siblings!! idk this has like no emotional weight to me for some reason idgi

i've been getting the feeling that bnha is written in a way to primarily impart lessons (*but only on people who are not related to law enforcement). that's why we keep getting bludgeoned over the head with how aoyama is still responsible for endangering his classmates or how dabi still made his own choices to kill unrelated people; while true, the story seems to prioritize making sure those lessons are learned first, while what is perceived as excess sympathy is excised so it never comes across as ""condoning"" the person who did wrong.

which is probably why a lot of these scenes feel like they have no emotional weight. often the only person sympathizing with characters like dabi or aoyama is the reader, and there is no outlet for the reader's feelings because characters aren't allowed to sympathize overmuch with the villains. for us there's no emotional payoff because we'll read something like dabi's backstory, but the reveal just gets followed up with a lecture, which is obviously... not emotionally impactful at all. the scenes don't read like a moving or memorable moment so much as the heroes engaging in debate class.

Dont worry guys the sphere growing in Dabi is his homosexuality
