the family if mama todoroki had gotten a divorce pt 3 (dabihawks edition)
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think horikoshi owes it to the todoroki siblings to give touya a redemption arc. or, at the very least, end their storyline with the siblings reaching some kind of middle ground. otherwise i’ll be both devastated and pissed
Dabi: You’re homophobic.
Natsuo: Once again, it was not the ‘be gay’ portion that I took issue with. It was the ‘do crime’ half of the statement.
shout out to mothers whos children grow to be twice their size lol
Todoroki Family Appreciation Post
Natshig.
Shipping isn't trying to explain why a relationship is actually canon. It's not even trying to explain why it should or could be canon. Shipping is saying "wouldn't it be funny if these two fucked" and everyone needs to remember that.
…Why did I just realized WHY Touya/Dabi’s hair changed color and why does it symbolize something?!?
In the Todoroki household, if you have white hair you have ice resistance, and if you have red you have fire resistance.
Or you could say, they have those quirks but if my memory plagues me right, the more Touya’s hair turn white, the more his fire injure him.
I mean, Endeavor wasn’t going to put his hopes and dreams on the boy that they knew couldn’t handle it. That fact, the fact that he is fire resistant, became false.
When we see the white sprinkled in red, that’s when Enji learned that Baby T was getting burned. Only once his resistance (and hair color) changed, than Endeavor stopped caring about Touya. His fire didn’t just suddenly get hotter, he became less resistant (but still pretty resistant as he wasn’t that burnt)
I remembered reading someone’s au of Fuyumi is that she is fire resistant as well, but I guess, because she is such a minor character that no creditable sources care to point out whether or not she is— However, if she was, it’d fit under this theory as she has red stripes in her head of white.
(And they headcanon that Dabi and her loves to fight with their quirks because they’re fire proof and ice proof respectively. This is canon in my head now.)
They used his hair color to show the quirk changing. And I love that.
fuck this series man this has no business making me wail like a baby
Saying their goodbyes: Shouto, Katsuki
Shouto
Nee-san spoke first, “Please be careful, Shouto. I... I’m so sorry for being such a useless older sister. I wish, I cou-"
"I will. And you're not useless." That felt insufficient. Shouto tried moving his hand over his sister's head, like he had seen Asui doing with some of their classmates when they got upset. "Please teach me how to make soba properly, when I get back."
At this, Fuyumi's eyes turned watery.
Shouto faltered. Then he froze.
Natsu-nii had pulled him into a hug.
Perhaps not wanting their sister and mother to hear, Natsu-nii said into his ear: “Punch him in the face. Pummel his ass." And with an even lower voice, his brother whispered: "And if there's any possibility… please drag him home.”
Shouto flailed. Then he remembered what he did, when okaa-san had asked for his permission to hug him during one of his first visits, and put his hands lightly on Natsu-nii's back. For few seconds, his fingers gripped his older brother's sweater tightly.
Shouto turned to their mother. She had lagged behind his siblings slightly.
He knew that the loss of Touya-nii back then, had completely shattered whatever small parts of their mother had been left, that hadn't already been broken by their father. But Touya-nii had killed so many people. And his flames were so strong, surpassing those of Endeavor's.
Shouto didn't know what to say to his mother. But he had to say something, so he settled on, "Okaa-san, I won’t let our family hurt any more people. I promise.”
“I know. I’m sor…” His mother stopped. Instead, she reached out to wrap his left hand between her own smaller ones. “Thank you, Shouto. I’m grateful for having you.”
Shouto swallowed hard. His hand stayed in between his mother's palms, until the heroes were signaled to move out.
Katsuki
“You will win.”
“What do you take me for?! Of course I will!”
For that, the hag decked him over the head.
Katsuki was about to let his mother know, that she hit like a ninety-year old. But before he could, his old man caught his gaze. Something in his father's eyes made Katsuki close his mouth again.
With her hands on her hips and her chin tilted up, his mother said: “Absolute victory. That's what you've always spouted. And absolute victory requires making it back. Preferably, in one piece. Although I don't expect that - no, I'm not underestimating you. But I'm also not an idiot. And neither are you."
At this, Katsuki averted his eyes. The hero students involvement in the PLW was still kept secret from the public. Aside from Icyhot, none of the students who got hospitalized had been allowed visits from their families.
Katsuki knew from his old man, that his mother had stood in front of the hospital every single day, until they learned that their son had been released and escorted back to his dorm.
During phone calls, he had tried to downplay his injuries. It wasn't because he agreed with the Commission's dumbass decisions.
It had been futile anyways. Katsuki saw from the expression of his mother's face, when she first laid eyes on him after UA's emergency shelters went into effect, that she had guessed the severity of his injuries right away.
His mother combed her hand slowly through his hair. Katsuki fought against the urge to tilt his head towards her.
"So. I expect an absolute victory, where as much of you makes it back as needed... to take the decking that you’ll get for being disrespectful to your mother. Got it?”
“…yeah, yeah. Just watch me.”
The hag gave his hair a slight pull.
And so, Katsuki's schoolmates, teachers, and anyone else in their vincity, got subjected to an encore of the Bakugou-screamo-musical, until it was time for the son to leave.
... being child soldiers sucks, even if you chose that path for yourself. Being family to such determined children, must probably suck not any less.

This is aesthetics for Akira Kirishima, my ofc from bnha.

Akira is Kirishima's stepsister, she is originaly from USA and she is 26 years old.
In the story some minor characters from bnha will show up, such as: Kamui Woods, Hawks, Touya Todoroki, Midnight, Mirko and more.
The story is including violance, abuse parents, death, murder, panic attacks and more.
Please let me know if you are going to read it.
Natsuo Todoroki~
I’m doing it right, right?
Controversial opinions.
I do not like him, he’s been given a redemption arc and people are starting to like him. Yes, o get that.
But as an abuse victim and survivor of childhood abuse from my father, I cannot like him. I hate him for that.
Based on this post
Please see this @incorrect-natshig :
Tomura looks worried at his hands, not doing anythig else at the bar. He remembers how Natsuo accepted to try and date him just a week ago, and he still can't believe it. It feels so unreal, like it's going to disappear any time soon, or worse, his very same hands will turn it into ashes, both figuratively and literally. Dabi is just passing by when he sees his leader, hating the vulnerable state the white-haired man is in.
Dabi : Hand-job, we all know you are such a hand-freak, no need to make this even more dramatic.
Sarcasm and insults are the only way he knows how to deal with emotions, so even when he knows he shouldn't be saying those kind of things, he does anyways.
Shigaraki : What are you doing here? Did Toga and Twice finally got bored of your burned ass?
Then again, the league understands. They are as broken as him, so there he is accepted. Might even try not to die when he kills that flaming trashcan he called father.
Might even treasure this moments where Jin and him drink and smoke, goes around with Toga to kill people and steal food and clothes (she wants piercings, but he is still not sure if he wants to take her), Compress and him talking about nonsense and pulling dramatic stunts, Spinner and him talking about Stain (not Toga, he likes the kid but she is creepy about crushes) and how corrupted the hero society is, and of course, how his leader lets him be. Sometimes they're just insulting each other, but they are both comfortable and having fun, other times they talk about the attacks, being both leaders (Dabi still doesn't know how THE FUCK he leads) and they feel this strange... respect from the other, this support.
Dabi : At least is better than yours.
Shigaraki : Let me remind you, your brother seems to like this ass.
The disgust on the ex-Todoroki makes the younger one laugh. At least someone is having fun with his misery. Even though part of the disgust is more because of the fact the medic student knows his identity and goes around visiting the league, putting them all in danger during the process. What if the Todoroki find out?
Dabi doesn't hate Natsuo, but.... Natsuo asks for too much. He remembers how the younger almost started crying, calling him Touya. Who the fuck is Touya? Todoroki Touya is dead, and even if he wasn't, Touya was a worthless, useless child that ran around adoring of the asshole he called father, wanting his attention like a whore. He hates Touya, he doesn't want to be Touya.
He is Dabi, from the League of Villains.
Dabi :(annoyed) Did he say something? Do something? To you, I mean.
Shigaraki : The fuck, are you in drugs again or something? It's just.... (looks at his hands again) nothing....
Dabi likes what he has know, and will not lose it. He will defend it. And so he does talk to Natsuo, even though he has been avoiding him ever since the first time the larger male tried to talk to him after finding out who he was. White haired finds himself smiling, with hope on his eyes, hope that the black-haired one wants to burn down.
Dabi : Hey, you made sure you weren't followed, right? Didn't tell your siblings or anyone.
Natsuo : Not, I didn't. Wish I could, though. Fuyumi would like to know you are alive, To-
Dabi :(interrupting) Yeah, it's not about that I want to talk.
Natsou : Then what is it.
Dabi hits the wall besides them, then fires up a hand that he puts between them. Natsu blinks a few times in disbelief, is he being threatened by Touya?
Dabi : It's about Shigaraki. Hurt him, and you are dead. Did I make myself clear?
Like Endeavor. Touya is behaving like Endeavor, and Natsou feels a little scared. But more than scared, he is sad.
Natsuo : I promise you, I will not do such thing.
Dabi : You better not. The hero society has already fucked us up too much. No need to add the son of a hero to the list.
Even though the flames are gone and the criminal has relaxed his body language, Natsuo doesn't feel any better.
Natsuo : Touy-
Dabi : My name us Dabi, Todoroki!
Both of them freeze, with that surname, the black haired realized he crossed a line, but he doesn't know how to apologize, specially with the broken look on Natsuo's eyes. Then again, the fact that he has them is a reminder of what Natsou is not. He is not part of the league, not part of his family.
Dabi : Don't forget it ever again.
The younger man feels like an idiot, of course Tou- Dabi doesn't want to be back. All this time he has hoped to get back his big brother, but know for the first time, realizes that is not that Touya needed space to think as he believed, he just wasn't there anymore. Even so, he smiles to the stranger, a brave smile.
Natsuo : Of course...
Dabi : Whatever, I'm going to look for the crazy one. Just hope she didn't end up in jail just becauae I didn't get her a damn piercing.
As Dabi leaves, Natsuo remembers how his big brother was so small, how he burned alive, how he always came cying on him. Why would Touya want to be back, having the league. Dabi might be still small compared to Natsuo, might atill burn alive... but he would never go to cry on the Todoroki. Not to be ignored again.
Natsuo really lost his brother, didn't he?
(Want a second part of Shigaraki comforting Natsuo?)
Natsuo is crying when Tomura finds him. The smaller man at first just looks at him for a long time, unable to process the image in front of him. Later, he rages, scratching his neck, wanting to destroy something, whatever made Natsuo, wide-shining-smile Natsuo, cry. That rage crumbles into shame when he tries to talk, not knowing what to say and realizing he doesn't know what to do.
Another long time happens before his hand tries to reach to the medic student's shoulder, only to stop himself while he was calling for the attention of his boyfriend. What if he hurts him by accident?
Shigaraki : Natsuo?
Natsuo : T-Tomura! How long have you been there?
Shigaraki : Not so long, I just arrived.
He lies, and he doesn't even know why he is lying, but again, he doesn't know what he should be saying right now. Should he pretend he didn't notice and give Natsuo space? Should he call Toga, Spinner and/or Twice? (Those three would do this, whatever this is, better) At the end, he just can ask what is wrong.
Shigaraki : Are... Are you alright?
"Of course he is not, you dumbass! He is crying!" Is what his brain replies.
Natsou : I'm fine, it's just.... I miss my brother.
Shigaraki : You... miss your brother?
At first, Tomura doesn't understand. Then, the image of Dabi avoiding his boyfriend invades his head.
Shigaraki : H-Hey, Natsuo. You really shouldn't pay so much mind to Dabi's words, h doesn't. He is just a son of a bit- I mean, without offending your mother, you already know him.
Natsuo : Do I?
No, he doesn't. He knew Touya, he knew his brother, he knew a child that burned down to the ashes after being abused and neglected for his whole life.
Dabi? Dabi is a dead man, but he is not Touya, and Natsuo can't help but feel guilt of wanting.... wanting Touya out of Dabi.
The red eyed man decides to sit besides Natsuo, they don't touch nor look at each other, the silence is akward. Tomura still tries to find his words after taking a deep breath, here we go with the sentimental monologues.
Shigaraki : ....... Dabi is... complicated. He is fucked up, like everyone else that decided it was a good idea to get out of our rooms just to go "fuck the heroes" as a life motto. But I know that he doesn't mean to hurt us, he has our backs.
Natsuo : Yeah, I know. He just gave me the "if you hurt him, you're dead" talk.
Shigaraki : - HE DID WHAT?!
The villain seemed confused, flustered, angry, surprised, scared, shy and many other emotions that should not be able to be together at the same time. But there he is, eyes and mouth wide open, face and neck red, trembles in his body. . .
It feels.... nice. It actually feels nice the idea that Dabi would go as far to threat his own brother for him, but it also feels... bad. It's weird, and Natsuo is sad.
The league are the family he never had, most of them feel it that way, and for one side having his co-worker/co-leader/friend/brother whatever having his back, as he said, is really nice. But there is also the fact that he had to take Natsuo's brother to have his.
Natsuo : I just... don't know. I will get over it, I guess. I mean, you just said it, it's not like he wants to hurt any of us, I was just too hopeful.
Shigaraki : Well, nobody should have too many hopes on Dabi. But... Natsuo, he doesn't hate you. You know that, right?
"My name is Dabi, Todoroki!"
Natsuo : He... doesn't?
Just now they look at each other in the eyes and Tomura can see just how insecure, how small, how abandoned Natsuo feels. The villain does the best he can to smile, the shape in his lips is not as big as his boyfriend's, it's also shy and nervious, but it's sincere.
Shigaraki : You would not be here if he did. Maybe.... maybe just try again later? When, you know, both of you are ready.
That. . . Is actually a good idea. Good job Tomura, Kurogiri would be proud! Damn, he is proud of himself.
Natsuo : Yeah, maybe you are right.
The Todoroki seems... better. Better is good. Tomura can't help but look at his own hands. Maybe he will be able to not decay this.
Shigaraki : Now tell what did he say to know how angry I should be.
Natsuo : . . . Do I have to?
Shigaraki : YES
