lol y’all remember when i drew this bitch like every damn day
a quick Shigaraki sketch before bed
I used a color palette for this and I think it turned out pretty cool!
"Touya loves his dad" and "Touya hates his dad" both don't get the full picture. Dabi loves the IDEA of Enji as his father but he HATES the person Enji is. Any love he has is for the idea of what his father *should* be or *should* have been and his hatred is based on the reality of who Enji is as a person

(source on the first image for context that no one asked for) Anyway, AFO giving a bullied child an IBS quirk is still one of the most back-handed, black hearted acts of pure fucking evil I have ever seen in a manga. Greatest shonen villain of all time, of the year, of the century, of the week even, etc etc etc.
It makes sense to think nods to Frankenstein such as Dabi doing the monster pose are just generally for the viewers enjoyment but I think it would be funny and also in character if Dabi legitimately read and/or watched Frankenstein and went "oh that's just like me I'm going to make this my whole personality"
i've been trying to figure out the reason for the very hollow feeling after last chapter and i think it's like -
before anyone gets on my ass, again, i think the past few chaps divorced from everything else were very well done, more so than many of the previous chaps. but in the grand scheme of the entire story i'm kinda like,
what am i even rooting for the villains' survival for?
i mean in a different sense than my pessimism about them either dying or ending up in prison, like, even if they got the best ending possible and escaped somewhere. because at this point jin IS dead and IF himiko is also dead (and possibly dabi idk) it's like,
why do i even WANT anyone to survive at this point
they've lost so much. the only things they had were each other to begin with. and now they don't even have that either.
i'm not trying to rail against people moving on and living a fulfilling life after losing loved ones, but these are characters, who aren't going to get that story, for one. for two, these are characters who had major parts of their growth and belonging hinge on one another, who emphasized feeling acceptance and camaraderie, often for the first time, when they came together. take that all away and it just feels so -
lonely.
why would i want the rest to survive to just be the Only One(s) left?
