#shouto is Very Blunt and direct but touya is a master of taking everything as an insult

I guess its easier to write shouto when comparing him to dabi like... current shouto is smart and thoughtful and tries his best but when he talks hes very simple and direct with his words/what he means. Meanwhile dabi is just as smart but more dramatic and faster and purposely rude. Like i see dabi saying some Edgy Shit to shouto and shouto thinking about how much he understands dabis feelings but then just says something like 'dude omg pls stop'. Anyway i think their interactions would be funny
ksajfjka yeah, that's what I've been aiming at, too! My only struggle is that I'm currently writing a futurefic where Touya is slightly more emotionally well-adjusted than canon, and he has a better relationship with Shouto. So I'm still figuring out how to balance writing him from a place where he doesn't immediately shut down vulnerability, while also not diverging too much from his characterization :') Shouto poses a challenge solely because a lot of Touya's complexes are tied to his tendency to compare himself to his brother, you know? But I'm getting there! They'll have this talk if it takes me ten years to write it down!
Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts! This actually helped me a bit
