I Cannot Get Behind The Dabi Chain Smoker Agenda

yayayyayaya bday bb !!!!!!

yes, yes you are. next question

You’re right. Horikoshi does a disservice by framing abuse through the abuser’s perspective. What’s even more irksome is that he glorifies Endeavor’s minimal efforts to atone while downplaying the victims’ own efforts to heal. I mean, no one in-universe is making a big deal out of Rei potentially getting better enough to be discharged after 10 years in the hospital?

he glorifies Endeavor’s minimal efforts to atone

yeh, this this thiiiis. the past chapter was all about how big of a realization it was for the dude to just. fucking leave his family alone. i know it probably is a huge realization for a self-centered ex-abuser, but so many readers have all been saying it was necessary as like a basic first step; so why make it a Big Deal by writing it from his perspective, rather than from the perspective of anyone else so they can have a “wow so it’s finally clicking for him, huh?? huh????” moment. that’s all it takes to flip the narrative from being about how Tragic the dude’s decision is, to making it about how he’s taking his first baby steps!! to being a decent person.

on ur point about the victims, that’s another big issue i have!!! like…where did all the trauma go sdfkljsfkljg. where are the lasting consequences of growing up with an abusive or neglectful parent? why is everyone just okay, and the biggest hurdle to overcome is their willingness or unwillingness to forgive? i hate that the story is going ‘well all he has to do is make up for things sufficiently and then they can maybe be a happy family!!’ like, where is the ptsd and the complexes you develop from being unloved by a parent?? why can’t we see the lasting effects that domestic violence had on rei, rather than just being told?? why not show us the work the victims put in to get to a mentally stable place?? i mean, the answer is obvious, but i hate it lmfao.

Why are you acting like it was Endeavor’s idea to face AFO instead of Dabi? It was part of All Might and Hawks’ game plan and even Shoto had a part in convincing him.

Yes, by all means let’s blame Hawks, All Might and Shouto of all people.

After all, when Shouto held out his hand to Endeavor to team up one month ago in the hospital, Endeavor didn’t just turn around and ditch him without a word

And when Shouto tried to text him like - dad, did you forget about me, Endeavor obviously didn’t ghost him

And when Shouto asked again, Endeavor didn’t immediately make it about himself and admit that he took it more as an inspirational “I support you dad”

And when Shouto gave him another chance surely he jumped on it immediately, right?

And Shouto was jumping for joy that his dad wouldn’t come along surely? That he broke yet another promise to the family?

And of course even if Endeavor tried to find Touya, it would have been impossible because he was so cautious hiding and never out in the open right? Almost begging to be found?

Poor Endeavor, he was trying so hard to do the right thing, but a wingless bird, a quirkless skeleton guy and his youngest child bullied him so he couldn’t.

You are really funny.

I’ve never really put these two scenes together in my mind, but ya gotta love how Dabi criticizes how Shigaraki handled the attack on the USJ by saying that it would have been better to go with a small group of *elite* villains when the last time we saw Dabi, Giran was like “yeah, he hasn’t really done anything yet, but he likes Stain. So there’s that.” We stan a bitch with confidence

My theory about what happened to Touya is pretty much the same as yours - he attempted to do something dangerous with his quirk and burned alive for it. As to reason for it, I don't know. I do think, however, that it WASN'T during training, and I don't think Endeavor trained him at all after it became clear that he was "defective" - what would he gain from it. From what we see of the flashbacks, Touya was a healthy kid that played with his siblings.

I agree. The timeline doesn’t seem to work out that way. 

We know that while Touya had a powerful fire quirk, his body was too weak for it. 

So Endeavor must have given up on training him already at a young age and went on to have other children: Fuyumi, (unless twin theory, which I think it’s quite plausible given Endeavor’s and the other kids’ age), Natsuo and Shouto. 

Here is Shouto at five, pre-scar, not allowed to play with his siblings - and Touya is still among them. Endeavor clearly only training him.

endeavor stans talkin abt the “cycle of abuse” but the only thing they know is how to cycle through the same damn arguments from two years ago😂🤡

I have been laughing at this for 10 minutes straight
