Shoto: Do you wish that you had red in your hair still?
Toya: I did.
Shoto: Do you now?
Toya: I don't know..
Natsuo: I wish I didn't have red in my hair.
Fuyumi: yeah, you tried to cut it out once..
Natsuo: ha, yeah.
Toya: I wish I did most of the time before everything really happened. Now I don't. Even if I don't really even like the white.
Shoto: Why don't you like the white?
Toya: makes me look like mom more. I'm not good enough to look like her.
I think Endeavor would have used Fuyumi for kids if he used Rei so much that she couldn't give them anymore.
I NEED FUYUMI TODOROKI CENTRIC CONTENT-

I do not write content portraying Enji Todoroki as a good person, I do not consider him one and won't be writing about him as a hero (because he's not one in my eyes).
MHA has the distinct issue with the fact it's one guy writing it with a few editors chipping in, I think a lot of Manga and Anime could avoid some of their issues with just not expanding and using concepts.
Like there is so much in MHA that could have more done with it, there are more characters then there is time, there are 20 Students in the class, but I don't think we even know the reason they wanted to become heroes, what are the motivations for half of them?
Heroism has become this sort of sport in a way, competitive and there are so many of them, they have a ranking system, from memory, No Other Series Has a Ranking System For Heroes, because they don't need them, all other series have your Listers, A, B, C, D, there is no numerical title, and what the fuck does it mean to be No.1.
See that's what I want to see, why the fuck does being No.1 matter? And who better to ask that question in verse by Shoto, a victim of this sport, him and his brothers breed like Pokémon for their fathers selfish ambition to a title that in the long terms is really meaningless, a target really, what is being No.1 if anything but a status symbol, a don't fuck with me sign, the get out of jail free card. Like seriously did anyone ever explain what the fuck being number one even meant?
Why the fuck do Katsuki and Izuku even want that title, they just want it to be the best?
What I would have loved to see but I am so disappointed that we didn't get was MHA's version of Young Justice's Disordered, a final reflection and dissection's of the characters, the Todoroki's are their worlds version of the Wayne family.
Show me why Shoto is the better version of Endeavour, not just in power but who he is as a person, someone better, he wouldn't want anyone to endeavor what he and his family went through, he is MHA's Dick Grayson so desperate to become nothing like his father, taking the best parts of him making himself better, stable not one to create his own legacy through a child. He doesn't want another him, another Natsou, Fuyumi or Touya, he doesn't want another Endeavour as that name isn't a symbol of Enji's desire to become No.1 to Endeavor through everything that life throws, but no.
Endeavor isn't his title, it is badge of shame, it's not his. Endeavor is the title of the family, to hold out against him, Rei was endeavoring so much pain from seeing her family burn around her, eldest burning.
Fuyumi was holding out for the hope of a normal life, one she could enjoy and share with her family.
Natsou was holding out for the day he could leave to become his own person as far away from his family as he could.
Shoto Endeavored to even become himself he lost his childhood, but you can't lose something you never had.
And Touya, that poor boy so wide eyed and simply wanting his fathers love, his father to save him, but he burned his father frozen watching him, only to be saved by a demon who walked out of the flame.
This is MHA's Batfamily, and Touya has so much in common with Jason it hurts, they both just wanted their Father to save them, but they burned, Bruce tried to save Jason but he couldn't Enji froze, the two were brought back by demons, and had no qualms about murder, to kill to get that attention after they lost a portion of their lives.
But they never explore that, Horikoshi has had several chances to ask, how does it feel to die and be revived, to lose that time, but he never has.
If he had a few other writers to conifer with, you'd get something truly interesting, MHA needed more time in the oven, it has the hallmarks of a truly interesting story, but really didn't get the time to develop, so much was left unanswered, unwritten and unresolved, the status at the end of the series is the same, yeah it gets slightly better, but does it.
We still have people wanting to become heroes, we still have the rankings we still have people gunning for first, and what's that going to do?
Create another Todoroki family, and with Quirk Singularity that oversight of Hubris is going to start festering again, it may not be from the demon in the shadows, but rather the man in the mirror repeating the same mistakes that one man driven by the selfish desire for first made.
And this time they won't be facing Touya with an equal, but they might be facing Magneto with no answer.
this was shoutos dream :') my shaylaaa
also not sure if touya would have scars
(・ε・` )
A reality too beautiful to be nothing more than a dream
todoroki siblings have a CLUTCH on me
“Yumi, I’m scared.”
“Of what?”
‘What if I’m not actually awake? What if I’m still there? What if I’m just dreaming?”
“You’re awake, Toutou. You’re awake and you’re right here with me.”
"What if I'm not?"
…
It occurs to me, for Ambush Sim and canon, this might have been a very real concern for him.
If you're new to Ambush Simulation, it's an alternate universe where Touya returned home after the fire/coma and stayed there. Except that's really the only thing that changed.
They deserved so much better
They stole Endeavour’s credit card
And it wasn't for love that you went back home
It's been a while!
I watched the new episode of MHA and decided to be delusional and pretend this is what happened instead.
Loved the part where they all went home unharmed and ate cold Soba together
Alexa play Mr. Brightside while your parents argue in the other room on youtube
no because its that they're the fear responses. the todoroki children are all just the fear responses. touya is fight, natsuo is flight, shoto is freeze, and fuyumi is fawn. when you stare down abuse every day you have to react somehow, and they all just developed different methods of coping with it
A little bit different than my other comics; I've never done a time lapse before.
In the Ambush Simulation notes, I mentioned that Dabi has a canon divergence in this AU where he returned home after the three years he was missing/presumed dead, but nothing in the household changed and he was still an unhinged mess. This is the AU comic behind ‘unhinged mess’ and the partial reasoning behind his antagonistic behavior in The Summer Camp Ambush Simulation.
…
All right, so canonically Dabi is a walking, half-dead, Lovecraftian nightmare of mental and physical health issues who's keeping himself going through sheer willpower/hatred. Ujiko says that after waking up from the three year coma, he should not have survived longer than a month as a result of the injuries he sustained from the fire. So even in an AU where he was reunited with his family after the fact, that’s still the reality of his situation.
Enter Endeavor: In this scenario, at that point in his character arc, I think he would have retreated back into his usual pattern of refusing to face the issue. The Todoroki family got Touya back, but they also learned that he wouldn't be with them long. If a missing/presumed dead child turns up after three years, they're immediately going to a hospital to establish mental and physical condition, so the health issues resulting from the fire would have been discovered almost immediately.
From the point of view of Endeavor, Touya's return was cause for celebration and was initially viewed as a second chance/an opportunity to repair some of the damage he'd already done to his family...but then the severity of Touya's prognosis becomes apparent and they're told he has weeks to live. In Ambush Simulation, Endeavor takes the coward’s way out and leaves the problem for everyone else to deal with so he doesn't have to face Touya. He told himself it was a way of not getting attached and so on, and no matter how much he tries to deny it, the avoidance is his guilty conscious.
The same goes for Rei. She refused to see Touya after he came back just so she wouldn't have to say goodbye to him a second time.
But Touya doesn't die.
Despite what the doctors predicted, he survives '...albeit with complications, various emergencies, experimental treatments to delay the inevitable, no clear answer on how the hell he was still breathing, and no promises that he would ever live a full life...' And now, just like in canon, he has 7-8 years of simmering resentment with the trauma of a near-death experience, the realization of having lost three years of his life due to the coma, the fallout of terminal health, and the crushing disappointment of what should have been a heartfelt reunion turned into a second abandonment.
In this AU as a vigilante, Touya has the Pandora’s Box of being an outrageous public menace and a potential family embarrassment because he figured out the only time his father pays any attention to him is when he’s ‘acting out’ and he decided he’d rather be the problem child than the invisible child. And unfortunately, this mentality has also ruined his relationship with Natsuo.
In some respect, canon is a happier outcome for Touya because at least in canon, the poor bastard has a purpose instead of reduced to a living ghost.
…
The piano panels are him rehabilitating his hands. Technically after a three year coma, he should not have been walking and talking as quickly as he did. Not with that kind of atrophy. So I’m balancing that inaccuracy out with the headcanon his fine motor skills were likely completely ruined.
Plus, if your life is a train wreck, have at least one positive hobby.
...Yomaha...
Presence, full comic
In this comic, with everything that’s happened with the fucked up family dynamics and every terrible thing he’s done, all that gets put aside for just a moment.
They get one night. Let them have one night.
What tomorrow brings for them is another story.
...
Further notes here
A short comic for the Ambush Simulation AU.
I have a confession: I don’t like really Sherlock. I mean, I don't hate it...but there are other Holmes adaptations that I like better. The cigarette scene does make me laugh though, so I wanted to do a parody.
...
Touya throwing Fuyumi under the bus and destroying the evidence. Bitch.
As far as the Ambush Simulation AU is concerned, I do try to write everyone in character as best I can, but I do want to note that Touya and Fuyumi's individual influences on each other does tweak their canon personalities a bit. In Fuyumi's mind, Touya's going to do what he's going to do, she can't stop him, so her compromise is making sure he knows home is still a safe place and laying down the boundaries he is not allowed to cross. As a result of keeping Touya somewhat grounded, she is less passive than she is canon. In Touya's case, Fuyumi is the only family member he actually listens to without antagonizing every second of the day. His 'fuck around and find out' attitude often comes to a screeching halt with his sister.
As we can clearly see here. Sometimes the bond between siblings is about being supportive, and sometimes it's about giving your brother the butt-kicking he deserves.
...
I have seen so many fanarts of Dabi smoking that during the time I fell out of the fandom, I legitimately forgot that he doesn't canonically smoke. For the record, neither of the siblings do in this particular AU. I like to imagine this all started with Fuyumi stomping her way into the house and telling Touya that she needed a cigarette. Doesn't even say hello.
And he just looks at her and says, "Okay, you look pissed, so I'm not even going to pretend I don't have any."
...
I also want to make note of this: When you draw one person in a heavy winter coat/scarf, everyone else in the same environment should be dressed accordingly. But between the fire and the ice resistance, I'm not sure Touya's even capable of feeling cold, hence the lighter jacket. And with the scarring/skin grafts, he probably doesn't regulate body temperature particularly well.
Also, Fuyumi is wearing their mom's scarf.
I don't know why this meme became so popular but I like it
Villain!Fuyumi for the soul. I honestly had no idea what I was going to finish with so I gave Tōshō a lollipop and called it day. Mostly because I gotta draw her doing any other expression than just a creepy smile
A friend drew Tōshō and Touya for my birthday, I love my crispy children
This was Touya's POV lol, It's why he stopped using his training and stopped using his quirk. A mixture of guilt and also lowkey trauma from watching your sister burn to death. This pose was inspired by Luna (Fire Punch)
It's kinda bad ngl but It was a doodle so I can't say anything
Touya looks worse because they salvaged what they could from the fire. They were working with what they have as he still had some of skin he was born with
Fuyumi lost all her skin so they basically had to redo everything, to the point she's nearly unrecognizable to even herself
This was drawn to contrast and compare the two, since they are currently the only ones swapped in this AU. They still hold onto some aspects of their canon selves though cuz Touya still hates Enji's guts
Some Headcanons along side, for flavour
