#touya todoroki reveal

[axel-tiredstudent]

hey dude sorry for interrupting your cool dance and your vengeance moment and all that but can I like bite your neck like you know like can I?

RIGHT new theory  Dabi didn’t actually dye his hair, he just hasn’t washed it in so long that it’s so full of shit that it looks black. and with that it makes as to why he can just dump some water or whatever the fuck was in that bottle and voila white hair.

How we feeling this Tumbler Putin-Destiel-election anniversary?

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?

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.

DABI'S DANCE, ダビダンス BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA dir. Shōji Ikeno

[theoriginalkaminari]

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

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.

"my child is fine" your child rinsed out his black hair dye in the middle of a war using a bottle of god knows what and now he's dancing maniacally on top of a giant while streaming a pre-recorded video of himself shirtless talking about his childhood trauma

[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

[happyely]

This makes my heart cry😭 Touya would have been an amazing big brother😭❤

I can't believe BNHA is over. Shouto was my first favourite character of the series and I eventually fell for all the Todoroki siblings, but I think that's inevitable, given how compelling and complex their stories are. :)

[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

[149panda149]

give me the identity reveal fics. give me characters gasping, hands flying up to their mouths, widening eyes. give me the anger, the disbelief, the grief. give me the crying, the paradoxically loud silences, the breakdowns over a battlefield.

"ahaha don't explode yourself babygirl you're so sexy"

I haven't seen any of this on Tumblr, but for the past week, Twitter has been arguing about whether Dabi or Gojo is more influential in the animanga community (Dabi exploding/ Touya reveal vs Gojo's unboxing). Just the typical X character vs X character tweets, which is ironic because those two have nothing in common haha.

Anyways, somehow it's devolved into Dabi x Gojo rather than Dabi vs Gojo. So yeah. I'm a Dabojo shipper now. There will be more fan art from me.

Dabi Todoroki is a Barty Crouch Jr variant and I’m tired of pretending he’s not
