Okay, Dandadan is probably one if the stupidest plots for an anime I've ever watched, but DESPITE THAT-
It still manages to have extremely compelling characters, an awesome rom-com of the two MCs, awesome supernatural powers, and a surprisingly tasteful portrayal of the main plot.
Like, I know anime, I've watched food wars. I know how anime can be, and suffice to say: I'm honestly happy with how the writers are treating the plot.
It's not overtly sexual, they haven't turned the missing balls into some sex-fueled fantasy that can only be solved through fanservice and the main characters getting it on. Instead it's been treated like it is: a circumstance thats so fucking ridiculous it is legitimately hysterical, the idea that a ghost stole your balls is honestly comedic, and I'm glad that the anime (I haven't fully read the manga so I can't speak for it) is treating it as such.
Plus, the Opening, and artstyle in which the anime is being produced with is so fucking incredible, from the designs, angles, and action sequences to the actual character movements, each scene feels so alive and every personality really pops through the character's motions. I don't feel like there is a stagnant moment in the anime so far, and it's really fucking awesome to just sit and take in the art that is being blasted into my retinas.
So all in all: do I contemplate my life choices every time I think about the plot of the show? Yes, but do I also take into account that it could've been worse, and what we got is actually really fucking amazing all things considered? Absolutely.

touya having white hair and dabi having black hair just makes so much sense
I think it speaks volumes about his character and how it's split into two
"Or!! Hawks trying donut holes for the first time, and his wings puffing up as the sugar dissolves on his tongue, the pillow of dough mushing between the inside of his cheeks. πππ" <- my beloved @hokusu 's prompt/request
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE POOKIE (*β§ββ¦)δΊΊ(β§ββ¦*)βͺ
Dabi thinking 'what's the catch' each time Hawks goes out of his way to do something heroically nice for him, a villain...
Something so terribly close to care.
Or impossibly like ππ°π·π¦.
(When Hawks can't care)
(When he doesn't get love)
A hero laced in gold and too bright wings can't be anything but a nefarious spy with impure intentions, waiting for him trip and fall.
Only to find out the catch, when he accidentally stumbles a little too close to the edge of the tallest skyscraper, the streets of oncoming traffic hundreds of feet before him flashing precariously across his eyes, his own life coursing through his veins, is just thatβ
Hawks catches him.
Without any pretense, without a moments hesitation.
Gloved fingers wrapped against the back of his neck and pulling against his wrist, his erratic pulse like a freight train beneath the stretch of fabric, and golden eyes boring concern into his own.
And there's nothing there but openly raw affection.
There isn't any other catch.
"Don't leave this world before me," Hawks murmurs, painfully close to his ears, wings curled against his back shielding him from the fall, as if his strength alone wouldn't be enough.
And the manic feeling of insanity and disbelief and wonderment exhales out of him all in one breath.
