Spinaraki Week

today is the only day you can reblog this

no hope for that guy

You know, as I think over all the WIPs I have sitting in organized google doc I'm now realizing something about how I write Shigaraki. No matter the universe, no matter the changes, I always write him as unhinged. It varies depending on the AU (which is the fanfic area I primally exist in) but it's never going to be a question of, "is Shigaraki unhinge" and instead a question of, "is he, at the very least, still attached to the door frame?". Even in the AUs designed with a health arc in mind Shigaraki is still going to be at least a little bit unstable no matter how long they work on it, the best you can do is make him less willing to jump to murder.

Dabi clearly knows something 🤔🤔

I lowkey kinda hate Endeavor's repentance arc. Not because I don't want to see an abusive character get better, I actually think it's incredibly important to show that people like this are capable of change but that does not inherently mean that you have to forgive them, I hate it because this shouldn't have been the wake-up call.

The wake-up call to all the damage he'd done shouldn't have been when he got what he wanted and realized that it isn't as fulfilling as he thought it be, leading to him reflecting on everything he's done to get there. No, it should've been when his eldest son "died" due to his ambition. He should've figured out just how much damage he was doing when Touya burned himself alive just to become his "perfect progeny" so that he could be "loved" by Endeavor again (he thought Touya was what he was looking for until he actually devolved his quirk and the drawback was discovered). The accident wouldn't have even happened if Endeavor had bothered to properly teach him how to turn off the fire!

To add another layer of how much Endeavor not bothering to reflect on what he's done after Touya's "death", Touya would've likely come back. It's revealed that Touya visited the Todoroki house to see how things had changed after his death, and what made him decided to continue on the war path and become Dabi was that everything was still the same. The only difference is that there was now an altar to morn him, everything else remained the same. If Touya had seen that things had changed after his death, that Endeavor worked to become better because of the tragedy, then maybe he would've stayed. Maybe he would've revealed he was alive and they could've been a family again. Don't know if they could ever be a "happy" or "healthy" family, considering everything around Endeavor and Rei getting married and the nature of Shoto's birth, but they most certainly could've been a family. One that would've stayed together, one with their mother not in a mental hospital, one that could maybe one day become proud to say that Endeavor was their father instead of refusing to his fire out of a strong desire to never be like him. But nope! Endeavor only realized how destructive he was to his own family when his youngest was 16 and "2"/4 of his children were adults (1/4 is "dead" and 1/4 is still a minor), far too late to undo any of the damage he's done. Too little, too late.

Hehehhehhhshe

Refs undercut!!!

I found them on pinterest and idk who the authors are sry :')

The thing that's makes this so much funnier for me is that Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Shouto will probably be fine due their, assuming with Natsuo and Fuyumi, iced based quirks then heat ain't gonna be that bad. Meaning that the only one who really suffers here, is Endeavor.

The league on an extremely hot day.

Shigaraki, laying on the floor: “Spinner, I think I’m dying.”

Spinner: “That’s a little dramatic. You’re the one who insisted we stay here.”

Shigaraki: “That was before I knew it was a hellscape.”

Mr. Compress: “Perhaps next time we choose a hideout, we don’t base it off of how close it is to the nearest arcade.”

Shigaraki, glares.

Mr. Compress: “Just a suggestion…”

Twice and Toga walk into the base carrying a window AC unit.

Twice: “Look at what we got!”

Spinner: “Seems like you’ll live.”

Shigaraki: “Shut up. Where did you get that?”

Toga: “Dabi helped us find it!”

Mr. Compress: “How?”

Dabi: “I have my ways.”

Endeavor, walking out of his office: “Where the hell is my AC unit?!?!”

Natsuo: “As if you even need one, you’ll never be cool.”

Fuyumi: “Natsuo!”

Shouto, high fives Natsuo.

Endeavor, leaves.
