Overhaul for the character ask!

How I feel about this character:

Blorbo of all time. He is sooooo me. On a more serious note, there was so much possible characterization that BnHA dropped into him--so much juicy potential--and it was all wasted. Pair that up with him being an antagonist who did horrible things and it was like a perfect storm to get me way too invested in him lmao. Also, I recently had a pretty unwelcome revelation about myself about how I usually find the major antagonists/villains of a show that unwittingly self-sabotage through social incompetence/bluntness/lack of empathy relatable which does not bode well for my social life hahaha but that's oversharing so I'm just gonna--

All the people I ship "romantically" with this character:

Disclaimer: I actually usually headcanon him as aro, so often the "romantic" shipping I have for him isn't actually romantic but sexual and/or queerplatonic, because I'm taking this as a question for 'who do I ship him with in a way that isn't just conventional friendship or in a familial/family-esque relationship'.

Kurono Hari: My main partner for the guy, and any OT3s I form for Kai are pretty much always going to have Hari as the second member, with the third varying. I have seen and do enjoy outright romantic Chronohaul, but when I write it I'll usually make an effort to make it either explicitly queerplatonic or Definitely A Relationship but not really a romantic relationship, ykno? Usually I like to think that they've been together for a while even before the show starts, in a solid years-long committed relationship that probably started (if not in its current form) when they were teenagers. I really like the idea of two similar people having found each other and finding strength and understanding in each other even as they're so different from everyone else around them, even if they end up reinforcing each other's destructive tendencies. Also, it's T4T. That part's very important.

Dabi: Funny story, I ended up watching BnHA because some of my online friends were huge DabiHaul shippers, so that was the ship I was primed for. And then I got attached to Chisaki and every other named character in the Hassaikai and ended up primarily shipping Chronohaul, and Dabi ended up usually being their third and shipped with both. I imagine that this ship (Chronodabihaul) is purely a sexual one, a fuckbuddy type thing for stress relief. It may or may not develop some stronger commitments/feelings later on, if and when the League and the Hassaikai stop virulently hating each other (and if/when Dabi stops being so obsessed with revenge), but that's not really a given.

Aizawa Shouta: This is definitely not a ship that's on the forefront of my mind, but it still has a soft spot in my void of a heart. Just like Dabi, I can very much see him in an OT3 with Chronohaul, although I feel like Aizawa would be in a much more long-term relationship with them. I can also see he and just Kai having an emotional short-term fling, but that would either cool down into just-friends or Hari would end up with them after a while, making it the OT3. Also, I have an angsty soulmate AU oneshot WIP that focuses on Overzawa, so.

Nemoto Shin: I don't actually really ship this character with Chisaki (I hc Chisaki as romance repulsed aroallo and Nemoto as sex-repulsed alloace), but I have an priest/demon AU in my WIPs that's got some heavy Nemotohaul implications, so I think I'd be remiss not to mention him here.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

I have several, actually:

Lady Nagant, aka Tsutsumi Kaina, of course. I know a lot of people on Tumblr like to ship Sniperhaul, but it just doesn't interest me. Seems kind of shallow, honestly (apologies to any Sniperhaul shippers reading this). I see them better as bickering sibling types after Chisaki heals at least a little bit from solitary confinement. And also as mlm/wlw solidarity.

I really like the idea of Chisaki taking Yaoyorozu Momo under his wing, teaching her chemical formulas for poisons and tips and tricks for combating performance anxiety. (I also really like the idea that they're genetically related...and don't find out until well after they've established their mentor/mentee relationship lmao.)

Nemoto Shin again, since I usually like him and Chisaki as close friends. Chisaki goes to him for questions like "what the fuck am I feeling and how do I make it stop" or "how the hell do emotions work".

Also, weirdly enough, when I'm imagining the sort of AU where he gets thrown in some labyrinth and has to figure out how to survive/get out with a bunch of other characters it's unlikely he'd interact with otherwise, I think Midnight might actually like him. She'd think he's cute. He wouldn't like Midnight back though.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

Do you mean unpopular for the wider fandom, or just among people that like this specific character? Because if it's the first, then all of my opinions for this character are unpopular, but if it's the second, then I'm not sure I have unpopular opinions/headcanons on him so much as opinions/headcanons that aren't widely held and/or thought about. I'm gonna list some that might be considered 'unpopular' among Chisaki/Hassaikai fans, although I'm not actually sure they are:

Pops wasn't a good parent. I imagine him something like the (fanon) Fenton parents from Danny Phantom; affectionate and kind, but only when he a) remembers to pay attention and b) Kai isn't in trouble. Unfortunately, these times are few and far between. Kai ends up as the 'weird kid' a lot during his childhood/teenage years and becomes the automatic scapegoat, and Pops doesn't even question any accusations brought against his kid, which doesn't help the fact that Kai has been conditioned not to speak up for his own innocence by teachers and other authority figures punishing him for 'talking back.' So it ends up with most of Kai's memories being of Pops punishing him for things he never did, being part of The System that hurt him so bad, and with Pops having this concept of Kai as a Bad Kid(TM) that's mostly unearned, and it escalates to the point where Chisaki feels safer with Pops in a coma than with Pops talking and walking around even as he craves Pops' affection.

Objectively speaking, at least from a utilitarian/obligation perspective, Chisaki is morally better than Enji. I'm so sorry for this proxissima, but Kai only hurt one kid that wasn't his actual kid--it was a child that someone else gave to him with vague instructions to 'figure out her Quirk' and he didn't feel like he could refuse, whereas Enji had four children for the purpose of surpassing All Might and traumatized them all with his lack of care for their wellbeing, albeit in different ways. Obviously, Kai had an obligation to not be shitty to a kid, but Enji had extra obligations because those were his actual kids that he had on purpose. Also, Kai grew up in the probably highly toxic and violent yakuza, whereas Enji went into law enforcement and therefore should have more regard for the fact that, at least, child abuse is fucking illegal.

Chisaki legitimately cares about the Expendables/Bullets/Precepts of Death, and considers himself an Expendable. I'm not sure entirely how to explain this one, but I greatly prefer the idea that Chisaki took in many of the Expendables (minus Rappa, who followed him home) because he understood the kind of shit they were going through over what was implied in canon (that he manipulated them into being super loyal to him so that he could throw them away).

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

MORE CHARACTERIZATION! ANY CHARACTERIZATION! Especially characterization that showed actual positive traits! Yes, the remorse he showed for putting Pops in a coma after the prison break was arguably a step in the right direction, but it was also tied up in some really weird ableist/sanist connotations about how "this was his punishment" or something, and Deku (obligatory fucking Deku) still demanded that he feel more remorse about what he did to Eri even though he wasn't mentally all there, and also demanding that people feel certain emotions in general is entitled and shitty. Even though the narration of BnHA clearly makes out Deku to be the ultimate moral authority in the story.

Like--it's just so fucking obvious that Chisaki was made just to be a generic evil villain for Deku to beat up without the audience questioning why he's so blatantly betraying his professed ideal of "save everyone" and for Shigaraki to play off against to make him look better. And it wasn't even done well. This man is clearly mentally ill from like the first time we see him, and solitary confinement only exacerbated it. One thing I would have loved to see in canon, instead of All Of That, was if Deku guessed that Eri was being abused and ended up blatantly wrong, taking away a child from a loving home after she's already had trauma from accidentally Rewinding her father out of existence and her mother treating her as a monster and abandoning her. Hell, you could still have the Quirk-erasing bullets in play--just have Chisaki take and start cloning a red bone marrow sample from Eri so that he has enough blood without harming her more than a single surgery.

Yea, that was definitely way longer than you probably wanted, and it took longer than I wanted, but I have a Lot of thoughts on this guy. I'll answer the other two requests at a later date, because I need to study for and take at least one final today.

Send me a character and I'll break them down

[x-kiwi-03]

Dabihaul tbh

At first I was very confused, "They haven't even met!" Then I found the fanart... "They should meet... very soon."

Neurotic germaphobe who's OCD is so bad he can barely function being hopelessly in love with the chain smoking messy guy that doesn't shower regularly is just too hilarious.

I love how they're opposites, not just in personality but in their relationship with family. Kai feels terrible and blames only himself for ruining his family, Touya doesn't give a damn and blames his family for ruining him.

I believe Kai went through some very not normal childhood experiences that he ignores because he respects his father figure too much. I think in moments when they talk about their past Kai would bring those things up acting like they were normal and Touya would be shaking him by the shoulders telling him they were traumatic.

"It wasn't that bad, Pops was just teaching me a lesson on what type of power the Oyabun has on his subordinates."

"Kai... 10 year olds aren't supposed to watch three guys slit their own throat for you... that's not normal... why do you keep thinking this shit is normal??"

Happy little fun fun hour. Question of the day. What's a ship you never considered until you started seeing good art of it thar roped you in?

Boop I give you more Katori for these trying times.

dabihaul fam returns for this brief moment

[pandorasv13updates]

[Fic Update 5/?] 11 Days

Pairing: TouKei / DabiHaul

Read here

Preview:

They traveled in silence for the majority of the walk. It was normal, even preferable. He couldn’t really say with any conviction that it was fun spending time with a mobster’s kin. Unfriendly. Aggressive. Really fucking gorgeous. Too bad he didn’t have the personality to match.

Would he prefer dealing with an unsociable, violent guy or his family? Maybe it wasn’t all that different in certain ways.

*********

WHEW! How’s quarantine treating you? Hopefully you’re all doing alright. I’ve been holed up finishing my thesis and I’m finally DOOONE! 

So, here’s an update. Enjoy :) 

[dabihaul666]

[be-the-gamzee]

More children? More children. Here's touyakou, she can and will stab you.

[be-the-gamzee]

No clue if I've talked about touyakou on here but uhhh... here's some art azyut ever drew for me lol

She's child number 2 of this whole Dabihaul family, 5 years younger than katori. Her quirk is temperature control, and she's a menace who wants to fight. Her parents are overbearing and just want to give her affection but she feels like she's being smothered and wants none of it --

[be-the-gamzee]

ALSO ME BEING A DUMBASS I GUESS I NEVER POSTED TOUYAKOU'S COLORS

well, here she is. In all her color glory. Use this as the main post for all her shit.

She's baby #2 for Kai and Dabi, 5 years younger than katori. She's 10 in the above picture - which is around when katori is 15 and just entering ua!

Unlike her brother, she is straight spit fire. She got Kai's pride and spite, and Dabi's 'do something about it ' attitude. She just wants to fight, for the sake of fighting and causing mayhem.

Her and Kai clash, Kai is a loving, doting parent who just wants the best for her, but he still has that pride, that 'image ' to uphold that he's the adult and in control. That's just who he is. Touyakou calls him out on his bullshit and doesn't give a damn, she wants full control to make her mistakes like her parents did. they are both headstrong and that doesn't go well sometimes.

Her quirk is temperature control -- through contact with her hand, she's able to absorb heat or cold and store the temperature in her body. She can later output this through contact with an object, where she then places the heat or cold. She's just learning how to output this into air, either making ice or fire. The downsides are her susceptibility to either overheat or freeze, if holding too much of one temperature of one extreme.

When holding cold temperatures, her hair goes all brown, normal body temperature is brown with red tips, at high temperatures the red tips glow like the inside of the furnace.

Fashionwise, she likes dark, oversized clothing, as well as ripped clothing. Kai does not like her wearing these, would prefer her in more feminine , proper clothing. they compromise with t-shirt and sweater dresses with leggings underneath, usually.

Again, she will fight you. No reason. Just because you looked at her, that is a challenge. It's like the world has done her some great wrong and she's trying to get back at it, even though she lives a perfectly happy, comfortable life.
