Why Dabi's ""obsession"" with Endvr fit thematically.

In my opinion, Dabi's misery stems from his inability to see himself or form an identity that is separated from being his father's pet project, because Endvr raised and treated the boy as an expansion of himself, as someone who would cure his jealousy and lack of ability, this is the reason he decided to form a family by quirk-picking his wife, it was never out of love, what he done is a project. And Touya was a project.

I think Dabi's inability to see himself as an individual separated from his dad's expectations and standards is the consequence of Enji's actions, he sought an expansion of his own to become his pride but he was punished with his almost perfect creation becomes his nightmare instead. He got a kid he can treat as an expansion of himself, just not in the way he wanted. Just like Dabi said, Enji can't only look at the future because he has to reap what he sow and face consequences.

what in my hero academia appeals to you the most

the overall theme of the story is really one of my favorites. even if i havent liked every single way this series has played out, there’s a lot i love about what it represents. there’s a lot of remorse / being recognized that you are more than your mistakes or the abuse you have suffered. that u are worthy of being saved. i think it’s really nice

aside from that, there’s just a lot of characters which brings along a ton of dynamics that u can play around with! makes it really enjoyable to see how they could interact with each other and how that could influence their behavior.. like hawks may not have actually hung out with the league, but the IDEAAA of him becoming their friend, learning the similarities in his upbringing to theirs, being put in the position where he begins to question his loyalty to his job, coming face to face with the whole “don’t meet your idols” once he learns of dabi’s abuse coming from endeavor.. all of that is interesting to me because there’s so many ways it could have been played out, even if it didn’t exactly turn out like that in canon

do you really think Dabi has a future? i was very emo reading the recent manga chapters because to me it seemed like he is on a suicide mission, but i would be happy if that is not the case 💔

Yep. I am certain Dabi will survive the manga. The fact that he's suicidal is precisely the reason why he will survive. Bnha is a hopeful story, and it cannot portray an idealization of suicide. Besides, Dabi already died once, and his arc is all about clinging to life even as he perceives it as meaningless in an effort to be told he is worthy of love. So thematically he's in line for a rebirth, a fresh start, not a another pointless death. He needs his faith in humanity restored, and so does the story. If he died because he ultimately believed there was no other value in him, nothing worth this life he was given, then that would be the same thing as saying that Enji was right for abusing him, and Horikoshi will never go there. Granted. He's writing a story where heroes are challenged to rescue victims no matter what, and not one where letting people die when someone could've helped them is the superior moral choice. That was Gran Torino's belief, and we saw the consequences of that mindset. The new gen is being challenged to go past that and restore the notion that heroes should be harbringers of hope, not just state-sanctioned assassins

I miss drawing so bad someone needs to put me down immediately

I voted for Dabi's Dance as the best chapter in the Week 3 poll. It's still super iconic and it out-trended the US election on twitter lol. Also,, I think it's the villain chapter with the best chance of ending up on the ranking list (hopefully)

GET BEHIND ME ENJI

[todomitoukei]

there's just something so deep about touya holding hands with the statue of all might, the rival of his father, the indirect reason touya exists in the first place, a sort of secondary father if you will that, despite having spend even less time with touya as a result of never having met him, gets to be used as a strip pole dance partner, when the his other father did not accept his previous dance invitation

[saintshigaraki]

in agony over touya this morning oh my god….need to keep him inside my chest cavity

[thyandrawrites]

I want to have faith Horikoshi’s knows what he’s doing but… I can’t. I just can’t. All his writing decisions lately just make me cringe.

I think that's understandable. You didn't ask for advice, but if you were to accept it, I'd suggest taking a break from the manga for a while. In the past few years I've taken breaks too when I felt my frustrations mounting, and it helped me get some distance from the writing and find again my love for the characters and the story overall. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, but for stuff like this, that plays out in the long term, I find that it's sometimes easier to process a whole arc at once. If you follow it week by week, you spend months worrying about how things will fall into place, or dragging your feet as months go by without the plot going where you see it going eventually. It makes the frustration a lot harder to bear imho

[gradelstuff]

Every time I think about how MHA goes out of its way to keep abusers like AFO, Overhaul, and Ujiko alive while "bad" victims of abuse like Tomura and Dabi are deemed irredeemable and "must die" I get so sad

Literally double standards

Eh, close enough. Welcome back, Jennifer Check.
