100%%%%% I feel like if dabi was initially made female, she wouldn't get the same attention to detail that hori gave to male dabi, especially with the endingggg (I'm never getting over reis) which would definitely not help the situation within the fandom 😭
WHOS THE BADDEST BITCH IN THE CLUB ⁉️⁉️
guys there's a reason why horikoshi didn't make dabi femaleughhhhhhajahhahav
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 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦.
(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 that—
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.
𝘖𝘩.
no they're worse than lovers, they're doomed by their narrative.
#dabihawks Post-war where Hawks visits Dabi in prison because there's something he needs to work out. For himself, for the both of them, who knows? They're a fucked up pair matched in hell.
And they have these heated exchanges where Dabi riles Hawks up all the time and then still asks for him to come like Hawks didn't walk out that day with bruised knuckles and Dabi's laughter ringing in his ears, blood trailing down his lips.
For reasons he still hasn't figured out, Hawks always does show up. Like some kind of fucked up clockwork. Like this, is ever going to be closure that he needs. Like Dabi, is the only one who can figure him out. See right through him. Even if it's another taunt, another cut right to the core and sets everything inside of him on fire—
"You know in another life, you might've tried to save me. Becuase that's what good heroes do, don't they?"
And Hawks wants to stab a feather right through those scarred hands, the same way that he wants to kiss his bloody lips.
He hates him. He wants to save him. He still wants him. Desperately and unforgivably.
So if Hawks secretly throws himself into studying law, what of it? The legality isn't so far from what he's already known as a hero and passing the bar is just another exam in the number of many that he'd excelled at years ago. Regulations just requires him to get hands on practice first.
He can do it. In a few years time, he'll become a lawyer.
And free Dabi.
Becuase there's no other life than this one, where he bores gold eyes into the blue of Dabi's soul and throws out in the most sarcastic kind of way—
"Aw sweetheart, what do you want me to do? Turn into a lawyer? Get you out? File an appeal?"
It is exactly what he does.
(insp. by Daredevil 'in another life, you might be defending me')
when I learn how to draw backgrounds it's game over for all of you
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
headcanon that Rei used to freeze part of their garden for the kids to ice skate. Natsuo was a little clumsy, Fuyumi loved it and looked perfectly graceful, and Touya thought of it as a useless distraction (he still had lots of fun though and was very good at it). Shoto was never allowed to participate, but he did it by himself a lot.
Years later, Fuyumi picked up figure skating as a hobby, Natsuo loves to go on dates at the rink with his gf, Shoto still freezes up the ground to skate with his class, and Touya stuns the lov bc they’re watching yuri on ice and he’s constantly arguing that it can’t be that hard, he could jump like that at ten years old.

the core of dabis character is that he's a front line soldier in the idgaf war, but he's constantly losing
