"Don't Worry, It's Still Here"

#Sk8ober Day 16: Mechanic Star Reki

After almost 7 hours this piece is finally finished and I am so happy with how it turned out. It's a redraw of a tiny doodle I did back in June. I've included it and some progress pics under the cut:

Something about Touya crying when he gets too excited or emotional, and Dabi's tear ducts being burned shut. Something about him burning and burning until there's nothing left. Touya's core is so charred, he doesn't even remember who he was anymore. All that remains is Dabi.

Something about Dabi being so much more expressive after revealing himself. Something about the ice and where it came from, and what that is.

The fire burning him alive, but ice chilling him out from the inside. The fire burning his ice resistant skin. Ultimately they both made Dabi. Because of the fire, he could lash out, and because of the ice he couldn't die.

Just something about it, man.

live laugh RODY ❤️

your boyfriend understands you 🌺❄️

That's not fair.

(If you want to see me vent I'm on tiktok, @cryingbard)

tip jar

soooo i heard ova is coming soon???

he does—more than you'll ever know, ulla

I know I rant like, every time endeavor does anything, but this just makes me so so so angry.

How can you watch your family fall apart around you, see them at their absolute lowest, half dead, and all you say is

Sorry for the crappy thing I did 😔

Like. It all goes to show he knew what he was doing to each of them all along and even now it's like the simplest form of abuse that he acknowledges. And all Shouto, beaten until he threw up and isolated and pressured since he was five years old, watching his mother get hit, get is "sorry."

Godddddd fuck you. Fuck you and your pointless ass sorries. Every horrible thing has festered and dominoed to something worse that literally every other character has been working to undo as friends or allies to the todorokis, including Touya, and a sorry is too fucking little way too fucking late. What is it supposed to do now? At this point? Burnt up and miserable and traumatized and afraid and angry?

Fuck endeavor. Fuck endeavor and tbh endeavor apologists because Jesus fuck I've never had a character ignite such vitriol in me and as someone who knows a real life version of him, seeing people race to excuse him because he said sorry and beat a Nomu once and they have some fucking daddy kink makes so unbelievably angry.
