☹☹

So I'm lowkey tweaking.

Now, as a preface, I love Aizawa. That man is foine.

So anyways, I'm clearing out some old pics from my phone because I haven't done this in far too long and I find some old pics........of my ex.

(When I say old pics, I mean that shit. We broke up in like, 2019. I still see him occasionally, whenever I go to our local anime convention but yeah. We'll come back to this one in a bit.)

ANYWAYS

I've always known he's hot, and I've always known that Aizawa is hot bUT I DID NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER OF WHY I WAS IMMEDIATELY ATTRACTED TO AIZAWA

WHY DO THEY LOOK SM ALIKE I'M GENUINELY DEVASTATED

The long, dark wavy hair, stubble in the same places, dark, sleepy eyes, eyebags, not seeming muscular under his baggy clothes, but is actually pretty defined........even their personalities and slightly sadistic tendencies.......I'm Going To Scream.

And my immediate thought was, wow, oh fuck, I really fumbled an irl Aizawa lookalike huh, but then my brain caught up like. Bitch?? He's an asshole who cheated on you??? Get a grip???? And I calmed down but still.

THE WASTE.

To realize that they look and act so much alike is DEVASTATING ‼

Now, onto The Worst Part. Remember when I said I still see him occasionally at the anime convention??

HE CUT HIS HAIR.

HE LOOKS LIKE TIME SKIP AIZAWA NOW TOO.

I CANNOT ESCAPE, SOMEONE PLEASE FREE ME FROM THIS TORMENT.

My only solace is that they don't sound alike. 😃

Like yeah, his voice was pretty deep but not Aizawa deep.

So yeah, I needed to rant. 🙂

It's Toga's idea.

With it being Christmas, she of course wants to spend time with her newfound family, celebrating and having fun.

But there's also the spirit of mischief almost always present when around the others, especially Dabi and Tomura.

Their reactions are always so fun.

And what she decides on this time, is caroling.

Now, being wanted criminals and all, she can't really go out caroling house to house all willy nilly. And sure, she could get some rando's blood and go have fun, but she wants to do this as herself, and with her friends.

So she settles on the next best thing.

Going door to door of the members rooms and serenading them.

And somehow, she wraps you up in her shenanigans, along with Twice, but is he really a surprise?

Wanting to go all out, she decides that costumes are necessary.

Dressed as Santa's elves, in a green shirt with a jagged hem, red tights, red, white and green striped socks and green, pointed shoes, along with a silly elf hat, you're all ready for your first victim.

Dabi.

Your boyfriend knows you're up to something, but he doesn't know what yet.

Heels together, toes pointed out, hands clasped in front of you, you and Twice stand on either side of Toga, with her in the middle and slightly more forward, and you stifle a giggle at the thought of his reaction as Toga quickly knocks on the door before getting back into position.

It's soon opened to Dabi, whose bored expression quickly morphs into confused horror as you all immediately start singing at him.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, and a happy new yeeaarr."

It's loud.

It's obnoxious.

It's off key.

It's glorious.

As you all go through the whole song, you know to yourself that nails on a chalkboard might sound better, and that's what makes it all the more fun.

And it would seem that Dabi is now catatonic, because he's staring through you, eyes glazed over and dead.

It takes a good ten seconds of prominent silence after you're done singing for him to reboot.

"Why?" His tone is tired. Resigned, yet pleading for mercy.

"Why not?" Is Toga's questioning answer, with a bright, sharp grin.

Dabi looks like he's about to retort, but thinks better of it, not wanting to drag......whatever this is....out.

Smart man.

"Okay." He sighs, so very weary, and shuts the door with a thud.

Toga spins around and beams at them.

"To Shiggy!" She exclaims, pointing down the hall, before making her way to his room at the end of the hallway.

You and Twice follow behind her to her next victim.

They could never make me dislike Dabi or like Enji.

(TW‼ for s*xual assault/abuse, m*rder thoughts, small trauma dump)

There was a period of time where I genuinely considered doing something about my abuser, because I trusted him, I trusted both of them, but didn't because I wouldn't be able to get away with it and I'm simply not built for prison. And now, after all the help and therapy, I'm not actively feeling violent, but I will admit that I am eagerly waiting for them to pass.

My therapist told me that's normal and okay and I broke down because thank fuck, I'm not evil, just hurt and wanted justice where I knew I wouldn't get any.

Because to this day I genuinely do not feel safe, years later. Not while he's alive. Not while I never got justice and never will.

Dabi is truly such a comfort for me. I wish we never went through the things we did, especially not so young, not even a proper teen, and though they were different forms of abuse, though mine left no physical scars, just mental and emotional ones, he just makes me feel seen and not so alone.

I will defend that man to my last breath.

Dabi is AMAZING and RARE rep for abuse victims.

I'll say it once, twice, a million times. A lot of the time victims do want to hurt or even kill their abusers, being blinded by it and not caring who's hurt in the process, and that's something that's rarely acknowledged in media. More often than not we get character's who have been through therapy, they've made up and made peace with the people who hurt them, they're okay!! But we never get to see what happens when those people don't get the help they need, (well, sometimes we do, but usually we only get to see the madman that was formed by abuse, not the abuse itself. And it's even rarer that we get to see these characters cry or show empathy towards their own victims) which is why I think it's really important for it to be shown. Like, not as a warning, but more as a "yes, other victims think this way. You aren't supposed to be just fine after going through that. You need help, and that's fine."

I do see a lot of people think that abuse victims becoming killers/villains demonizes abuse victims and like,, I find that ridiculously stupid. If you go through heavy trauma, especially if it was inflicted by the people meant to love and take care of you, you will NOT be okay, no matter how okay you think you are, you're not. Victims often DO want to hurt people, they DO think about bad things and do bad things quite often, it's not normal but it's common. Hurt people hurt people sometimes!! It sucks, I know people hate to acknowledge it, but it's TRUE. You can claim that saying that demonizes victims, and maybe it does, but if you don't let people know that they're not alone, they won't even try to get help. And Dabi is a good representation of that no matter what you think. Throughout the show we see him express empathy through actions AND words on occasion (ex. Him crying, while saying he thinks about his victims very often)

Hurt people hurt people, but that doesn't mean they're not people. And Dabi shows that in a way that I haven't seen in any other character.

(I know I repeated myself a couple times but I am SOOO sick and tired. Like, as in, I am tired aswell as sick. Not as in I'm sick n tired of whatever)

me @ my mutuals

It’s been awhile since Dabi’s been the star of Shirtless Thursday with @magawaan so here he is in all his tattooed bad boy to drool over glory

🩵🔥

Jsjsksk this always makes me giggle

Posting on AO3 is like, I'm doing this for myself, but also immediately refreshing the page every 5 seconds to see if you get any hits comments or kudos. But totally only writing for me.

Screaming, crying, sobbing, throwing up, clawing at the walls, scratching at the floors, gnawing on the bars of my enclosure

Some Good Old Fashion Schmaltz, a Post Canon-AU because I can't believe we didn't get to see how Touya's storyline ended

normally i don't go in for sentimentality, but I feel like my faves deserve it!! idk this is kind of closer to the type of ending i was hoping for. Rehabilitation, basically! everyones putting their talents to use fixing the world. making amends. with their friends. getting the healthcare and support they need. ET CETERA idk i just really wanted this

(my apologies to Tomura, you were here in spirit. literally)
