Have you ever considered this is a really stupid layout to have when there’s no way to easily get your account back if you accidentally hit the wrong button???

okay yes. girl dad touya 100%. always. but what if the lil girl isn't his.

when you first start talking, you ask if he's single, married, if he's got any kids. just scoping him out. and he's like, "ew no. don't want any little bastards." LIKE OUCH. so that has you backing off a little, because you're very serious about bringing someone in her life and the last thing you're gonna do is pull in a guy that doesn't want to be there !! no matter how stupid handsome he is.

but dabi is more perceptive than anyone gives him credit for and i think he figures it out pretty quick. and he lets you go, too, for a little while, because he really doesn't like kids. grew up with three younger siblings and couldn't wait to get the fuck out of his parents house, probably left early at like sixteen or something. and he's really not looking to walk back into that kind of shitty family situation.

somehow you end up back in each other's life. and it's got him like fuck. because he wants — something with you, he knows that much. you're not like him, at all; don't come around the bar he works at too often, not littered with tattoos up to your neck like he is, probably never been to jail, either — and you have yet to hold that against him. you're in a whole different tax bracket than he is, because you've got yourself a nice job to provide for your kid, and you still treat him like a person. still smile back at him, hug him when he gets a little shy about your kindness, even brought him flowers once, one night, after he'd make a joke about never getting anything on valentine's day.

so he says fuck it. it's your kid, right ? so how bad could she be, really ?

and he just adores her. not too little — seven this year, she tells him — and she's so funny, for a kid. not afraid of him in the slightest, a little wild, likes to sing, could probably even makes friends with his shit-eating dad. it takes a long time for him to finally meet her, because you're being careful, but he does and you're both surprised by how much he takes to her. has him thinking back on his childhood a little differently; at the time, walking home with fuyumi and baby-sitting on the weekends and having to take natsu with him everywhere and picking up shouto from school every damn day — it seemed like the worst thing back then. but now —

seems silly, to be so hot about.

he lets your daughter call him dabi, because she's so sing-song when she says it, when she calls it to him from across the fucking grocery store. she brings out some weird, repressed kid in him, one that likes to play pretend and get into little mischief, like eating sweets too close to bedtime and finding little ways to prank you when you aren't looking.

it's meant to be so casual when he tells his mom and sister, just a, "yeah, this chick i'm seein' has a kid or whatever," but they ask one question and it turns into story after story after story. takes him a long time to realize he's just going on and on and on about her, that they're just sitting there smiling at him. even makes them tear up a bit, much to his horror, but they're just happy for him, that's all.

and, yeah. he's happy for him, too.

TBB has this really great thread right from the pilot about clones and inhibitor chips, where we start with our protagonists split apart by being resistant to the chips against the backdrop of the "programmed" Regs, except the one who struggles against it until Tarkin has it jacked up into "go murder them" mode-

And then Rex gives them this perspective of how impossible they are to fight, even he couldn't resist-

And then we see Howzer not only come around on what's right vs following orders but refusing to run, holding out hope for his squad to break free too and do what's right-

To Gregor who is just done and deserted-

To the whiplash of the s1 finale where we get Crosshair. No chip anymore, but I'm a soldier, I'm loyal, I follow orders, I made my decision where then in season 2...

The underground is growing, more are walking away.

We get the fucked around and finding out perspective as the clones around Crosshair "keep disappearing." Cody drops some cold truths on his way out the door. Perhaps made even colder by presumably not knowing that whatever haunts him (we know) wasn't truly his decision at all.

Mayday the last straw, he held out and kept serving but for what?

We open season 3 on "not every clone is your ally" with Omega, the hints of Emerie's plight. And the later e6 warning that some clones on Tantiss are still loyal to the Empire. But Rex is still compassionate- doesn't know what the shadow is but knows something has gone very wrong. He's killed his men but Rex wants to find a way to help him.

And then they do this wild thing where -

They drop the thread completely, the ones who are still loyal at this point are beyond hope, the ones who are brainwashed victims are so over the top that you'd forget they're clones at all if they hadn't shown the one lose his helmet, it takes Emerie realizing there's kids in the basement to have second thoughts about experiments and torture on prisoner clones, and the commandos never serve any deeper purpose.

there's something sadly funny about the way that Kaladin goes into literally every situation thinking "Too bad I'm not cool anymore 😔"

I mean. I get it. Depression fucks your brain up and you feel detached from yourself and any skills you have or had. The PTSD and chronic fatigue are keeping him from doing things he once managed with far less effort. And it's rather impossible to feel like you can just... do things like you used to when you're struggling at a basic level to simply be.

Still, literally everyone who knows him is like "Kaladin you're so storming cool" and he goes "They're referring to the person I was, who is dead. I'll never be cool again. I'm sorry."

The most hilarious thing? He walks into these moments, thinking 'too bad', and then he does the most objectively amazing thing possible while everyone else just watches in awe.

Kaladin, three seconds after absolutely changing everyone's outlook on life: Aw, it's too bad the person I just was died again. Guess I have to find something else to be cuz I sure can't pull that off anymore.
