Happy three year anniversary to Dabi's Dance, without a doubt the peak of mha's story and writing

[wintosavesavetowin]

Okay please I need help I have been looking for this post for like two hours

It’s a text post I think??? Maybe there was some artwork after the op BUT basically it’s Dabi in the LOV hideout doing his recording for the Big Reveal™️ and Toga and Twice are like outside the door listening to this motherfucker be like, “wait I should be shirtless”

Askajajakaka I don’t remember exactly but that’s the gist of it and it was so fucking funny to me and I NEED TO FIND IT AGAIN someone has to know what I’m talking about pls I’m begging

So real, that man's probably SWAMPED in paperwork

Dabi: reveals his tragic backstory

Endeavors poor pr agent who already has enough to do:

[reineydraws]

had to draw this to understand the way i feel about him now that the manga's ended. 🥲 on that note: if you like hawks and his ending, maybe don't read my tags lol. it's not bashing (imo) but they're not v nice. 😅

bg + unobstructed pose under the cut!

his expression's a lil different 'cuz i only changed the merged layer, all the lighting effects already flattened onto it. 💀 alas.

If I had a nickel for every time a BNHA chapter outrended a current world event, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

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.

I accomplished legitimately nothing of value today so here's Dabi experiencing California (wildfires and surfing) because I need to feel like I did something.

This is how I saw Dabi's reveal.

Shoto: awe, man, I'm so lonely. I wish I had a friend.

Dabi, walks in the house with his arms stretched out.

Shoto: gasp! Brother! You're back!

Dabi: thats right. (Holds up full carton of milk.) I came back with the milk.

Shoto: hooray! Finally, we can-

Dabi, furiously drinking the milk.

Shoto: wat

Dabi, holding up now empty bottle of milk: aw, man. Outta milk. See ya, shoto. (Leaves)

Shoto: NOO

Dabi and his grave

so dabi is a dramatic little bitch as we all know, and I think he’d love the opportunity to fuck with his family. Therefore it is my personal belief that he went to his grave and left really weird things there just to fuck with them.

imagine: you’re one of his siblings, mourning the tragic death of your older brother, who was only a child when he died. You decide to go to his grave to leave flowers and pay your respects. Upon getting there, you find something that nobody in their right mind would leave at a grave. None of the other graves have been messed with, which means this grave in particular was targeted. Nobody sees anything or anyone, so the mystery goes unsolved, and the items placed there get increasingly bizarre.

some things I think he would leave:

a stack of five paper towels, weighed down with a rock

miniature figurines of various things (animals, landmarks, etc.)

a tiny guillotine with an endeavor doll decapitated next to it

printed stock photos of someone flipping off the viewer

various pieces of obsolete technology

extremely old books written in languages none of them know even a single word of

notes, written with his non dominant hand, about very personal and secret things only his family would know about

an actual severed hand/limb

none of these things (except the extremely personal things about his family) have anything to do with either Dabi or Touya, either

Don’t call me that. I have a great name. Call me Touya.

what if i put my life in your hands? what if i took your life in mine?

[milkywayco]

imagine, the dabi is touya reveal, but everyone except endeavor was aware. shouto put it together after dabi called him by his full name at the summer camp, katsuki put it together after his kidnapping (probably from some stupid tiny habit), most of 1-A was convinced by shouto. natsuo figured it out from high-end. it was a theory on forums that dabi was endeavor's dead kid for awhile endeavor is the only one who doesn't know, and i can't decide if dabi should be aware of this fact or not

[diospore]

I think Dabi should come out as gay next

[newtscamandersbf]

it makes so much sense that dabi is touya and i mean obviously but idk how to explain it but before it was confirmed that dabi was touya i would look at dabi and go ‘yeah, thats touya’ because it was obvious but ever since it was confirmed i go ‘thats touya’ cause like thats so touya ??? and obviously thats touya cause thats TOUYA but omfgggg urghhhg i dont know how to explain it it makes sense in my brain but just i look at dabi and its touya and it puts everything in a new light and perspective and everything makes sense and ARGHHHHHHHH please tell me yall get me
