The Fuck Kinda Translation Is This Just Say He Was Premature What

spinaraki e-couple discourse where shigaraki gets mad at his little kitty for not answering his 1am league of legends game request in the public LoL discord server 💔

(never thought I would actually see e-couples fighting on discord but I guess there's a first time for everything)

NO WAY NO WAAAAAAAYYYY ARE PEOPLE DOING THAT. DERANGED. anyways i do think it would be funny in a fucked up way if shigaraki tried to make it so that spinner conformed to his own wake-sleep-game schedule regardless of insomnia but he isn't subtly manipulative enough to trick spinner into it. luckily spinner has no friends who are capable of talking to him about red flags and also spinner thinks it's really romantic that shigaraki wants to spend that much time with him 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

i think a lot of fic writers who are trying to stay in-character would benefit highly from figuring out some characters’ senses of humor and just… letting them be funny in different ways. ime i’m taken out of the story not during the serious and angsty moments, but most often when the writer inserts a line that they clearly think is funny but just reads so completely ooc for the specific character—polar opposite of the char’s usual word choice and humor, that it almost always immediately pings me as “something the author inserted because they personally think it’s funny.” more often than not i can probably tell when it’s actually the writer speaking, not the character, and it happens a looot with humor.

I cannot get behind the dabi chain smoker agenda

I have a lot of thoughts about why Dabi pretended not to see Aoyama here. It's implied he knows Aoyama is the traitor, but even so Dabi chooses not to mention Aoyama's interference to All for One. And to some extent, it's likely because Touya doesn't trust All for One and he knows they have different end goals in mind. He might have some embers of sympathy considering that like Aoyama, All for One attempted to use Touya because of the downstream effects of his parents' bad life decisions. But then there's also this

The terrified position Aoyama is taking here is something Touya would be more than familiar with as well...

"Toya there are other things besides being a hero!"

"Are you gonna do them with me dad so I can still feel worthy of your love and attention?"

"Haha, don't speak bullshit I have Shoto to train now."

big fan of this dabi panel where he’s just passed the fuck out with the fucking funniest subtitle ever. the timing. the pose. the utter defeat

truly an immaculate catch

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
