#dabi likes cats

[shiggyboy]

Y'all catching my vibe orrr?

[mishiami]

someone on twt posted abt hawks being chased by stray cats who like his wings and at some point dabi joins in

[moodyvoid]

Yes, it’s another “Bnha AU where you and Touya were childhood best friends” post

Dabi comes to your house and while he’s lounging on your couch, your cat jumps up onto his lap and rolls into a ball, cozying up in Dabi’s warmth.

You smile to yourself and think, “The only other time I’ve seen her do that was when she was a kitten and sat on Touya—”

Then it hits you.

grumpy cat dabi x his very unbothered neighbor... you invite him in without a second thought and in his head he judges you for doing so bc hello? doesn't he look.. dangerous? doesn't he look... scary? are you stupid?

you just give him a curious look when you realize that he's still standing by the door and simply tell him to close it behind him.

you offer him something to drink and then invite him over to the living room. this is the first time you're seeing him - you're getting to know each other. this is what this is.

you put on an old crime show and then try to ask some questions but you don't push him too much. he keeps side-eyeing you. bc you're... weird. doesn't this feel awkward? isn't this strange? he doesn't even know why he said yes to your offer. but there you are, unfazed as ever. just casually watching the tv with a stranger a mere few feet away from you. what if he's a killer? what if he's a fucking murderer?

you don't think he looks anything like that.

you think he looks like stray cat who needs some food and a shower.

turning to him, you give him a smile and he averts his gaze quicker than he has ever done before. you reckon he'd hiss at you if you tried to sit any closer. you don't mind. you're patient. you know he'll warm up to you. eventually.

(he does. you keep inviting him in every time you see him. he doesn't think it's that weird anymore. he doesn't think you're weird.)(he might even... like you a bit now.)

AU where literally everything is the same but Touya told Natsuo about him alive when he was like 17 or 18.

Enji, after the whole Dabi dance arc : Has anybody here had any contact with Touya in the last 11 years?

Natsuo, who has been exchanging rants about their favorite shows with him daily and is currenly typing a new one: : ...No.

Two arts that inspired the writing of a OneShot that finally I get out of my head.

In the end, Dabi's introduction to Touya was different but it maintains the essence of "why your cat is named like me?" that I wanted!

So, i just reread dabis dance after like 4 years, i think? after seeing how it all plays out, indulging in fanwork, watching bits and pieces of the anime, I've learned something.

my takeaway is that touya is a dramatic little shit who loves musical theatre. the dude literally dances around while talking about how his father abused him.

tell me that is not a theatre nerd???

incredibly self-indulgent Soul Eater x BNHA AU??? sign me up

My roman empire is the difference in how Horikoshi draws Dabi and 'Dabi'

Smirking so wide his cheeks staples are popping out exposing the muscles underneath the grafts, staring straight into 'camera', carefully controlling the way he looks and is perceived. It's not a natural way of being, it's performative. Exposing and highlighting his grotesque scars. Chin raised high, looking down at the characters he interacts with and at the audience. His gestures wide and self-assured, throwing his arms out. He forcibly attracts attention, even the negative kind, especially the negative kind. A smug and self-confident asshole.

And then he is off his Dabi hours and suddenly no longer filling the room with his presence. Gone is the oppressive evil charisma that had even the pro heroes scared of him. Now the hidden, nameless, hinted-at since his first appearance real identity is left exposed. His head turned down, avoiding eye contact, slouching. His wrists hanging limply. Arms crossed - hugging himself, a tell-tale gesture of discomfort. Curling into himself, making himself smaller. He looks younger, rolling his eyes and pouting.

Touya has run out of his social battery and doesn't want to be engaged with. He is vulnerable, the way Dabi can't afford himself to be. It's just so fascinating how his way of masking is putting on an artificially created Dabi persona.

Midoriya, sighing: actually, i am the only foster child in this family.

Shinso: seriously?

Midoriya: yes! i mean, look! you're the spitting image of a child from this family! even Dabi looks like our father!

Yamada, pinching his cheeks: and, in my opinion, you are absolutely our biological son.

Aizawa: it's true. you have Zashi's personality and my love for cats and coffee.

Midoriya: yes, but i don't have the main trait of the Aizawa's family.

Dabi: oh? what is it?

Midoriya: love for loud blondes. i mean!! look, Hitoshi yearn for Kaminari, and it's mutual, and Dabi is in love with Hawks!

Aizawa: *choking on coffee*

Shinso: *laughs out loud*

Midoriya: what?..

Dabi and Yamada together: Bakugo.

Midoriya: ...

Midoriya: oh no.

[lovebeatriceplz]

I love rewatching episodes in s4 and s5 with the lov. Where is Dabi half of the time??😭 Bro's always on a side quest.

[tofumilkbread]

Cat! Dabi that just comes around your apartment, eats your food, scratches your sofa and then leave. Ignore you until it wants attention and then ruin more stuff so that you would pay attention to it. And then scratch anyone that dares come any close to you-

Oh wait that's just how Dabi is in general 😀

[shortstrawberryshake]
