unfollow me now this is gonna be the only thing I'm gonna be talking about for the next week I've wanted "dabi's dance" animation for so long fuck what the fuck-
What some people don't understand is that Dabi's dance celebration comes from the place of real life victims finding relief in seeing Touya facing his abuser and devastating completely his ego.
It's his victory but also a moment to breath and be there on top of a mountain, dancing because the truth is finally revealed and now everyone knows how the person they venerate is the person that destroyed you in body and mind. They are all in his side, they all claim for him to rise up, while you'd be dead and forgotten, another martyr on his glorious life tale.
But you are not done and you are not gone and as long as your legs can move you're gonna dance and as long as your jaw can move you're gonna scream to the heavens that that person is not getting sanctified. He's going to the hell he put you in and he's gonna answer to the rage he put in you and he'd never ever be able to outrun the damage he caused you.
Kids don't have a grasp on the extension of the consequences of their own actions. They don't have the faculty to make certain decisions for a very good reason. Especially if they come from an abusive or dysfunctional household.
Touya probably thought "if this new baby is gone dad is going to love me again" and I can't stress how common that thought is in older siblings who are jealous or feel neglected.
Siblings hurt each other all the time for multiple reasons and this particular kid could manipulate fucking fire.
Touya trying to kill Shouto is supposed to be a representation of how fucked up was the Enji's dream if he cornered his older child into feeling he needed to murder his younger sibling in order to take back his father's attention.
It's a representation of the failure of the parents, not the fucking kids.
It's "you should have known there was something really wrong back there and you ignored it like you ignored everything else, so now we're here".
