I totally have the head canon that Dabi is, um, not the best at wrapping gifts. He just needs... practice. 😂

Okay, everyone! Let us hear your best answers! What is Dabi getting Keigo for the holidays? And vice-versa! 🎄🎁

Stepping back in to let everyone know that things are still slowly but surely moving forward behind the scenes. Life has been kind of brutal with its twists and turns, including a brush with losing my apartment that I think has been resolved but will put a lot more financial strain on the new year. 😔

Due to my lack of reminders about the mod and contributor applications closing, I'm going to extend the due date for both until December 31, 2024. The invitations for acceptance will be sent on January 5, 2025, to keep the remainder of the schedule on track.

Sorry for the recent silence, but things are still rolling here behind the scenes. I have a new background piece in progress, and our head art mod surprised me with some amazing stuff based on the zine theme! I mean, look at that tee shirt! Can't wait to get my hands on it. 😂

A few days ago, I crossed paths with fate and found the tour's next amazing guest artist! Please welcome, @zira-draws

Just one last post for the evening. So! When I was on my pre-order binge, I somehow ended up buying two of the Revoltech Dabi figures. I realized it a while ago but decided to go ahead and get both. Originally, I was going to sell the second one, but now that I've started to pursue creating the zine, I'm considering the possibility of having a contest or giveaway as part of the pre-launch party.

Or I guess I could keep them both and display one with black hair and one with white. 🤔

Finally! My Revoltech and Tenitol figures arrived. I didn't have the time or energy to take pictures, but the Revoltech one is extremely customizable. 💙💙

[kyiratodoroki]

Next up! Dabi-Meow has a Touya-Meow to keep him company when I can't be here. Look at his cute little paw staples and adorable tail! 💙💙

[kyiratodoroki]

Dabi mail! Today is the best mail day in a long time, and I really needed it. I'm going to do this in a few posts. First up... My shirt came today. 😊 I love my shirts big and comfy, and this thing is positively huge. Just something to note for those who want to get one. 💙

Endeavor Deserves No Sympathy!

I don't understand how anyone can think Endeavor was ever a good dad. It also always comes off as incredibly victim blamie, especially towards Touya, and often Shoto too.

He literally only got married and had kids to use them. He never gave a shit about their well being, never even thought about it until he had the one thing he cared about and was still miserable. I've already gone over the math proving he gave up on achieving his dream himself at 21 at the absolute latest. (https://www.tumblr.com/arceus-insanity/763259515356512256/i-liked-endeavors-character-when-he-was?source=share)

And basic math will once again be used to prove just how little this waste of flesh actually tries.

This time the focus is on how quickly he abandoned Touya and immediately went to emotional abuse via neglect & literally replacing him, and once again risking that more children be born with self-destructive quirks.

For context we only see Endeavor doing anything with his kids that's not him literally walking through and ignoring them in two circumstances. Once when Fuyumi's a newborn and Touya is attempting to crawl (not walk) over to her. And training. Those are the only times he tries to spend with any of them, even after he starts his 'atonement'

Now comparing Touya in the scene of them training and himself as a toddler and all the child imagery this series loves to use instead of actually saving imperfect victims, Touya is at least 3 (probably closer to 4) when he's taken to the doctor and they are informed of his condition

Natsuo is 4 and a half years younger than him.

We know for a fact Natsuo (& Shoto) was conceived after they got the news, not willingly either. Pregnancy takes 40 weeks average, so Touya would still be 3 when Natsuo was conceived. So once again it took this 'man' less than a year to give up and have another child he hoped to use as a tool, and was explicitly making to hurt his existing son. And as I have said plenty of times before, risking that the new kids could be born with the same disorder, I hate how convenient it is that Shoto gets near zero negative quirk side effects.

Want to know what we never see, Endeavor doing something else with Touya and Touya demanding training, it's always him walking past/ away from Touya. Considering all of the shit they've pulled to soften Endeavor's abuse both in the manga and even more so in the anime, they wouldn't skip something like this. It's not hard to tell that Touya's 'obsession with training' is really about spending time with his dad, you know like a human child that literally needs love, proven by numerous studies and research in the real world.

He throws all parenting responsibilities onto Rei, adds more children to that load, and when Touya suffers for it (like everyone else) he does nothing, doesn't even hire a nanny

Another are you kidding me take I've seen is that somehow Touya's quirk issues are worse than Midoriya's and Yuga's. Touya managed to train his quirk to produce blue fire at 13 with zero equipment and less than no help, and only lost control of it, because of the mental abuse Endeavor had inflicted on him leading him to a mental breakdown. And/ or the theory I've only seen once of AFO using his ability to force quirk activation (seen with a passed out chapter 90 during his first confrontation with All Might)

Midoriya was breaking his bones all the way into the Shie Hassaikai arc and was only able to fight because Eri and was breaking support equipment in the following arc as well. Yuga had a support belt all the way back in the entrance exam and was still struggling with that.

Speaking of Yuga let's compare parental effort here, because as much as it backfired Yuga's parents tried a whole lot more. For starters they nearly bankrupted themselves to get him a quirk, so he could feel equal. All For One is a mythic man prior to his arrest, and those who knew of him were shown to be serious long-term villain groups, so they had gone to quite a bit of effort to find that he existed to begin with. They also got him support gear (the navel belt thing) as a kid to help him with said quirk, he literally had it in the entrance exam. Endeavor never looked into that, Endeavor is not only rich too but he's a top hero he would have direct access to support equipment companies that would jump at the opportunity and it never even occurred to him.

Endeavor's name is an irony as endeavour means to try hard to do or achieve something. He never tries hard he gives up incredibly quickly the second there's any road block, but instead of moving on he makes everyone suffer for it. He's a toxic pageant mom who'd rather force their child into a toxic world and a role they don't want than work on himself

And what finally makes him change? Getting exactly what he wanted and still being miserable, and he still expects through his actions his family to cater to him.

Not his son getting a major disability due to his actions, no, he decided to double down, mentally abusing and neglecting the son he supposedly loves, raping his wife who didn't want more kids or participate in this abuse, and again risking that Natsuo & later Shoto might have that same issue. Not when his wife breaks down and permanently scars his precious masterpiece, who proceeds to rightfully blame him, and he just thinks of it as a tantrum despite it lasting a fucking decade. Not when his eldest literally dies as the result of his selfishness. Not literally during any part of this entire process!

Dabi is 23 when Endeavor finally starts to 'try' to be better, that means that for at least 24 years he has only been caring about his fucking precious number one spot in a popularity contest that he couldn't even bother to try to be likeable for, this wasn't one bad decision, this was him constantly choosing to be so insanely selfish that he found ways that shouldn't even be possible for over two decades. And it was all him.

So! I'm kind of curious if there's anything in particular that anyone would like to know about the AU or the bands. I want to offer content that people will have fun with. Head canons? Background on a certain band or character? Feel free to comment or send an ask.

For now, more gorgeous art from our guest artist:

The deadline for mod applications has been extended until December 15, so it'll be the same date as the one for contributors.

Well, you know, I had to do it, but I behaved myself and bought the tee shirt instead of the hoodie, which was like $30 more. 😏

[kyiratodoroki]

As things continue to move along, I wanted to touch base on the vision I have for the coming months; not only for the zine but also for the community I would love to build around it. This post will cover information on potential packages and items we'd like to include with them, activities we hope to run here on Tumblr, and info on the Discord server.

Free Digital Pre-Tour Package - This is something I'd like to do that lets everyone participate. Those who want to sign up will get a digital pre-tour package that includes things like a ticket, a flyer, and maybe a meet and greet pass. 🤔

Digital Tour Package - The above items plus a digital version of the zine/art prints/etc.

Physical Tour Package - Digital and physical versions of above items plus merch (pins, stickers, keychains, etc).

Physical VIP Tour Package - All of the above plus VIP backstage pass and VIP specific merch, which is currently TBD.

Mini Band Packs - Small merch packs specific to each band that can be added to any physical package. These would include things like replicas of Eri's lucky keychain, guitar picks, or special prints.

As previously mentioned, we have a Discord server set up, which will open to the public in the not-too-distant future. There, we will have some activities and events that won't be available on social media. This is still in development, but we're hoping it'll be a lot of fun. 💙

That's about all for the moment. Take care and see you soon!
