@uchitokenai : “you really don't hear yourself when you talk, do you?" — ( welcome back )

❝ Yeah? Funny, I was just thinkin' the same thing about you. ❞ Caught skipping a meeting again. If he didn't know better, he'd think Geten's quirk is bloodhound or something, the way he somehow manages to track him down every time. He bets all these Meta army goons are snitches, that'd explain it.

Violet Regiment? Please. He didn't want to lead, and he knows he didn't ask. The League had barely been a functioning disaster before the MLA decided on these stupid ranks and regiments. What business did any of them have commanding an army? And Dabi sure as hell wasn't about to start giving motivational speeches to any of these assholes. They were trying to kill him not that long ago.

❝ Look, I really ain't qualified for this whole… Commander thing - I'm technically doin' you a favour by not showin'. Just call me when shit needs burnin' and get lost, I'm tryna dodge responsibilities I never asked for here.❞

He could tell him. He could probably trust a guy like Tomura, as weird as he could be at times ━ hell, he could probably trust all of them. They were all a bunch of nobodies after all ━ Toya was the only one among them that could have been considered someone, and even then, it wasn't much. He wasn't any more than someone who should have burned away to nothing years ago ━ but that didn't mean he wasn't a Todoroki, the eldest son of the Flame Hero, and he was a pretty big deal.

Dabi didn't know how any of his new "friends" were gonna take that. It's not that he could really see them kicking him out, but would they look at him differently? He doesn't know.

❝ Pft, what's the point of having a villain name if we're just gonna give away who we are? I dunno about you, boss, but I respect the sanctity of anonymity, y'know? ❞ He made that up; he's not even sure if he's using the words right, so he continues ❝ Secret identities, like in the good ol' days when superpowers were somethin' for comic books. Can't just go giving your government name away when ya plan on comittin' a bunch of crimes, right? ❞ Yeah, that made sense, good save, Dabi.

But maybe… Maybe he did wanna tell Tomura who he really was, as stupid as it felt. Must have felt good as fuck to just run around doing whatever you wanted with your whole name and identity attached. There was some radical, progressive sense of liberation attached to it. He might not have had the education to put together the technical aspects of it, but he understood the spirit.

And Toya? He'd built Dabi out of ash and spite, out of the parts of him his family buried and "moved on" from. Toya Todoroki didn't matter, so the name… It felt strange to him now. Like he didn't exist anymore. Not really. He glanced away then, scoffing under his breath as if irritated with himself for something going on inside his head.

❝ Yeah, I've got a pretty good thing goin' here. ❞ Strange admission. Worse because it was completely true. ❝ You guys don't ask too many questions. Don't act like I oughta be grateful for anything. ❞ He'd almost say they acted like friends... Accepting each others faults, helping each other out... Maybe even family, in a weird way.

❝ So yeah. Maybe I wanna tell you. Maybe I don't know if I should. Maybe I'm not exactly eager to find out whether the League still wants me around afterwards.❞ He should have reminded himself to smile after he said that, might have looked mean and numb to the entire idea, held up his charade of not caring either way, oops.

[pallorpyre]

The stupid grin on Dabi's face doesn’t falter, if anything, Hawks laughing only makes it worse, pulling the staples at the corners of his mouth into something sharp, bright, and stupidly pleased with himself. He takes this as a triumph, he looks as cool as he thought he did and he makes no attempt to hide it, though he lets his shoulders roll back, lets his head tilt like he hadn’t just launched himself through open air on a half-baked impulse and nearly eaten concrete in front of the number two hero.

❝ Oh, yeah? ❞ he drawls, breath still a little rough from the stunt - took some effort, that was true, even though he tries not to show it. ❝ Wouldn't've thought I was capable of impressin' you. ❞ It doesn't sound as careless or mocking as he might have wanted it to, no, there's an unmistakable, genuine sincerity to it, along with a distinct flicker of curiosity. Impressing Hawks wasn’t exactly a small thing ━ not when the bastard had wings, speed, training, fame, and the whole damn hero world kissing the ground he landed on. He was number two hero, after all. It felt like a big deal, and inside Dabi, there flickered the ember of pride his father had tried to douse with every one of his rejections.

Which leads his mind right to the traitorous and unwelcome wondering if Endeavor would've been impressed. He hadn't seen Shota do anything like that, yet. Sides, how could he, he only had one half fire ━ he'd probably be off balance if he tried. But then his mind brings him just as cruelly to an answer and the answer was no.

The old man would've found some flaw in it. Too reckless. Too sloppy. Too dangerous, not enough control. He would've looked at Toya standing there alive and excited after being perfectly airborne and still found a way to make it sound like failure... All because of a little singe or two.

Whatever. Dabi clicks his tongue and looks away, pretending the thought hadn't stung more than any burn ever could. ❝ Missed the big show down there, ❞ he says instead, nodding toward the ruined sprawl of Deika below. ❝ Spinner won’t shut up about it. Shigaraki versus that Redestro guy, the fight of a lifetime and I didn't get to see a single second of it. ❞

His eyes remain with the wreckage, the breath-taking ruin of the once thriving city block. To think Shigaraki had done this.... It was impressive. ❝ Probably sounds crazy to a pro like you but for a minute there, Shigaraki was acting like a hero, giving his all to save a guy in need. ❞ His tone holds no sarcasm or cruelty, just a rough-edged sort of approval, reluctant but real. ❝ Took him long enough, but he's actually startin' to look like someone people might wanna follow. ❞

"Niichan! I missed you!!"

The hug is gentle, but he doesn't get to deny his baby sister.

No, he really doesn't and by the withered look of boredom on his face, one might have been tempted to think he found this situation unfortunate for him. They'd be wrong of course. Toya's just doing his brotherly duty of pretending everything annoys him.

❝ Yeah, yeah. You know barely went anywhere, right? Tch, so clingy.❞ Don't count the nearly ten years he was missing and presumed dead.

𝙶𝙴𝙽𝙴𝚁𝙰𝙻 𝚂𝚃𝚄𝙵𝙵 ::

Alright,  so  technically  my  Dabi  is  very  canon  compliant  by  default  but  since  the  fanon  ideas  on  Dabi  are  so  different  to  my  personal  interpretation  of  him  I  often  feel  like  I'm  writing  him  as  an  OC  so  I  figured  I'd  use  this  post  to  rehash  on  some  of  my  most  important  HCs  and  how  my  Dabi  differs  from  fanon  Dabi  as  on  multiple  occasions  I've  had  people  assume  popular  fanon  applies  to  him.

First  thing  is  first  my  Dabi  suffers  from  a  comorbid  case  of  CPTSD  (complex  post-traumatic  stress  disorder)  and  the  much  lesser  known  PTED  (post-traumatic  embitterment  disorder),  with  the  latter  often  at  the  forefront  of  his  "issues".  For  me  this  kind  of  explains  everything  "wrong"  with  Dabi  from  a  kinda  clinical  perspective.  Otherwise,  I  also  portray  him  as  def  on  the  autism  spectrum  as  I  think  the  coding  in  him,  Endeavor  and  Shoto  is  really  obvious.  Though  things  like  Frankenstein's  Monster  and  the  Onryo  are  really  important  to  my  portrayal  of  Dabi  he  is  absolutely  not  the  "evil  version"  of  Toya  and  Toya  was  not  and  will  never  be  depicted  as  anything  other  than  an  abused  child.  He  was  not  a  stubborn,  toxic  brat  who  "wouldn't  do  as  he  was  told". 

He  was  a  little  boy  in  a  very  toxic  household  who  was  told  and  shown  on  multiple  occasions  that  the  validity  of  his  existence  hinged  upon  whether  or  not  he  was  capable  of  being  useful  to  his  fathers  goals.  I  also  think  its  important  to  note  Dabi  is  supposed  to  parallel  Shoto,  he  is  not  a  contrast  to  Shoto,  he  is  a  mirror  image  of  him  and  they  are  extremely  similar  in  all  ways.  This  has  been  acknowledged  multiple  times  in  canon.

Similarly  I  should  probably  note  Dabi  doesn't  hate  his  father.  He  loves  him.  The  major  difference  between  Dabi  and  his  brothers  is  that  he  wants  a  relationship  with  his  father  despite  the  abuse  and  will  generally  come  to  have  a  more  forgiving  outlook  like  his  sister.  I  think  this  makes  a  lot  of  sense.  Fuyumi  and  Toya  knew  a  time  in  their  family  their  younger  siblings  never  did.  The  first  few  years  of  Fuyumi  and  Toya's  lives  with  their  parents  were  highly  positive.  These  are  important  developmental  years  in  children.  Natuso  never  knew  his  father  as  a  loving  person.  Shoto  never  saw  his  truly  good  side  either.  Of  course  neither  of  them  have  the  same  sentimental  feelings  Fuyumi  and  Toya  do  where  they  can  "forgive"  their  father  for  his  shittier  behavior.

This  being  said,  Toya  has  never  hated  his  brothers.  He  has  never  wanted  for  them  to  have  not  been  born.  He  has  never  blamed  them  for  why  Enji  was  the  way  he  was.  Because  it  was  incredibly  explicit  to  Toya  that  the  problem  in  their  family  was  with  him  and  his  quirk.  He  was  very  jealous  of  Shoto,  yes,  but  he  never  blamed  him  or  saw  him  as  "taking  away"  his  fathers  affection  because  again  Toya  knew  his  father's  affection  was  taken  from  him  before  Shoto  was  ever  born. 

As  a  result,  Toya  has  always  blamed  himself  for  his  short  comings  and  the  issues  with  his  family.  The  worst  part  of  this  is  this  is  largely  true  even  with  Enji.  Toya  doesn't  necessarily  blame  his  father  for  the  abuse.  He  has  moments  where  he  knows  this  is  true  and  he'll  acknowledge  it  but truthfully, he  blames  him  no  more  than  himself  which  is  just  some  tragic  abuse  victim  mentality.  This  said,  as  an  adult  Toya  is  incredibly  angry  with  everyone  in  his  family  for  the  lack  of  support  they  gave  him,  tending  to  dismiss  his  feelings  and  side  with  their  father.  Unlike  Tenko  and  Hana  for  example,  Toya  didn't  have  siblings  who  "secretly  supported"  him,  he  had  siblings  who  made  it  clear  they  didn't,  along  with  a  mother  who  was  incredibly  aware  of  the  abuse  while  also  being  incredibly  complicit  in  it.  He's  most  dangerous  to  Shoto  as  Shoto  and  Enji  are  his  targets,  but  he's  shown  he'll  recklessly  endanger  his  other  family  members  to  these  ends. He's  deeply traumatized,  damaged  and  angry  and  its  not  unusual  for  his  words  and  actions  to  contradict.

As  far  as  the  Todoroki's  go,  I've  mentioned  before,  but  to  me  they  present  like  victims  of  narcissistic  parental  abuse.  Though  neither  Rei  or  Enji  were  actual  narcissists  the  dynamic  they  created  in  the  family  looks  almost  identical  to  the  dynamics  observed  with  narcissistic  parents.  The  Todoroki  children  all  match  'archetypes'  of  narcissistic  abuse  victims.  Fuyumi  the  caretaker,  Natsuo  the  protector  and  Toya  the  collapsed.  You  could  make  a  case  for  Shoto  as  the  problem  solver  but  really  as  the  actual  golden  child  things  were  a  bit  different  for  him.  I  made  a  post  that  goes  more  into  this  here.  Similarly,  if  Toya  was  ever  allowed  to  recover  or  things  didn't  go  as  badly  for  him  he  would  probably  match  the  rebel,  at  points  previous  to  his  dad  actually  trying  to  be  a  less  shit  person.

My  Dabi  is  disabled  and  suffers  severe  nerve  damage.  His  condition  heavily  resembles  someone  with  CIP.  I  made  a  post  going  over  that  here.  Essentially,  Dabi  cannot  feel  pain  or  temperature,  but  he  can  feel  touch,  vibration  and  pressure.  (  Although  often  in  a  dulled  way  )  This  comes  with  a  slew  of  other  issues  for  Dabi  relating  to  organ  function  and  his  metabolism.

Also  mentioned  in  that  post  my  Dabi  is  not  a  smoker.  He  has  severe  respiratory  damage  from  his  burning,  not  from  cigarettes.  This  causes  his  raspy  voice.  He  attempted  to  smoke  once  and  found  himself  experiencing  a  weird  kinda  psychosomatic  reaction  that  made  him  feel  pain  as  if  he  was  burning  again.  He  has  avoided  cigarettes  ever  since.  He  does  drink,  but  not  by  habit.

His  hair  is  not  dyed.  Its  sprayed.  I  know  we're  talking  fantasy  here  but  no  black  box  dye  is  logically  coming  out  of  hair  with  a  little  bit  of  remover  poured  over  it.  IDC  how  advanced  the  future  is  !! So  yeah,  Dabi's  black  hair  is  sprayed  and  not  actually  dyed.  This  also  helps  it  keep  its  unruly,  crunchy  look.  Yes,  he  has  to  respray  his  hair  any  time  he  showers  but  thats  fine.  As  I've  also  said  before  its  more  aesthetic  to  Dabi  than  a  disguise  of  any  kind.  He  likes  his  hair  black,  he  can't  afford  to  keep  up  with  hair  dye,  but  black  hair  spray  is  real  easy  to  steal  and  apply.

Dabi  is,  largely,  homeless.  He  does  not  have  a  shitty  apartment.  He  lives  on  the  street  and,  occasionally,  out  of  net  cafes.  Dabi  has  no  education  beyond  the  6th  grade.  He  never  made  it  to  high  school.

This  being  said,  Dabi  was  explicitly  noted  by  Giran  to  not  have  any  kind  of  criminal  record  prior  to  joining  the  league.  Dabi  would  "get  by"  by  doing  menial  jobs  around  the  city.  As  spoken  about  in  one  of  my  other  HC's,  there  was  an  elderly  shop  keep  who  took  pity  on  Toya  and  unofficially  employed  him  for  a  number  of  years,  allowing  him  to  do  the  tasks  around  the  store  the  elderly  man  struggled  with,  largely  cleaning,  moving  heavy  objects  and  stacking  shelves.  He  paid  Toya  very  well  for  this  and  Toya  would  use  the  money  to  live  out  of  net  cafe's  and  eat.  When  the  old  man  died,  his  family  banished  Toya  from  the  store.  Its  been  diffcult  for  him  to  get  other  similar  jobs  since  then  so  keeping  off  the  street  and  having  access  to  food  and  showers  has  been  harder.  This  said,  Toya's  been  living  this  life  for  like  7-8  years  so  he's  gotten  pretty  adapt  at  surviving  regardless.

Probably  about  the  only  thing  I  adhere  to  that  is  popular  with  fanon  Dabi  is  his  black  nails.  Because,  yeah,  the  aesthetic,  but  technically  this  isn't  Dabi  painting  his  nails  for  me.  Again,  drawing  visual  reference  from  Frankenstein's  Monster,  Dabi's  nails  are  discolored  and  blackened  not  from  nail  polish  but  from  just  being  another  example  of  his  body  being  in  extremely  bad  condition  from  his  horror-trope  influenced  resurrection  and  the  zombie  aesthetic  he  has  going  on.

Anyways,  more  in  depth  HCs  on  multiple  things  can  be  found  over  here  but  I  think  thats  all  the  very  important  stuff.
