Death, Fire & Ice!Dabi AU
i had this idea for a fic (and i even wrote a bit for it):
what if dabi doesn’t only have a fire quirk? now, you’re probably like: “boring. we all know the phoenix theory blabla.” but NO.
i propose... death, fire AND ice quirk dabi! all three!
how? let me tell you:
- so, sekoto park. let’s say touya doesn’t barely cling onto life. let’s say touya dies to his own flames. he went to sekoto white-haired with a fire quirk and an ice-resistant body 
- !! he dies to his own quirk!! (that’s important, so remember it)
- touya wakes up in the river; ash clinging to his skin wherever the river isn’t touching him and he feels... changed. let’s say he feels oddly distant, as if his inner fire has gone out
- touya went to sekoto white-haired with a fire quirk and an ice-resistant body... but touya returned from sekoto red-haired with an ice quirk and a fire-resistant body. you see where this is going?
- so basically: every time touya damages himself with his own quirk enough to die from it, he is reborn with either frost or ash clinging to him and the opposite quirk of what he died from; it’s far from a perfect immortality quirk as he only resurrects whenever he kills himself with his quirk (if he were to die from hanging himself, he’d stay dead)
- and let’s imagine touya coming home with a scarless body. if he keeps the switching mechanism of his quirk hidden, he’s basically a completely split version of shouto (only with seemingly temporary harm to his body)... and as morbid as it’s going to sound, endeavor doesn’t have any weighty argument against touya becoming a hero anymore now that touya’s able to solve the permanent harm done to his body by his own quirk by quickly dying
- imagine touya becomes a hero. not a hero like all might, who saves others with a friendly smile and a slogan like “i am here!”... not a hero like endeavor either, who stoically fights villains with his flashy fire. no, touya can barely show himself in the spotlight because he’s permanently sporting necrosis or extreme burns after fights. he‘s lost count of how many times he died already. death has become a daily thing for him. he lives alone in a small apartment, where neither fuyumi’s worried eyes nor shouto’s adoring gaze will ever meet him. his apartment is sparse - a futon randomly against some wall, a pantry full of instant ramen and an old TV sitting on a coffee-stained table - but everyone who’s ever been in his bathroom says it’s weirdly high tech. “why would you need a temperature-proof bathroom? and what’s that smell?!” touya can’t answer: “oh, i need a room to kill myself in and the smell is from my burnt corpse.” so he just huffs and shrugs.
- imagine touya as a hero. how he works. how he thinks. he’s constantly calculating whether he’s going to have to return home for a quick “change” or if he’s able to continue working. he never gets himself any support items. it’s not that he doesn’t have the money - it’s that he’s become so used to killing himself and to the immense pain that he’s become numb to it all. he’s a hero but at what cost?
- imagine touya’s stance on self-destructive quirks. imagine he watches the first year sports festival and sees midoriya destroying himself for his brother’s sake. (because that’s the thing: shouto’s story turns out the same because dabi’s still a brother who isn’t there - it’s just the reason for his disappearance that’s different) touya immediately sends out an internship offer. he even writes a little comment on why he chose midoriya. “i know what it’s like to break yourself over and over. let’s figure out how to solve your problem together.” because dabi might inevitably have to kill himself at the end of the day but he still learnt how to minimize the need for it.
- imagine deku accepts dabi’s offer. gran torino only sent it in after yagi’s insistence, which isn’t needed here. despite avoiding the spotlight, dabi’s sheer firepower alone has put him in the top 20 and deku’s not going to say no to getting to know one of the most mysterious heroes out there. so, he accepts.
- imagine dabi mentoring deku and immeditately proposing to attempt spreading his power and keeping it running on low settings. it’s something dabi has to do when he’s just starting out in the morning or when he’s using his quirk for small stuff. it’s how he keeps his arms from turning to ash or falling completely numb. it’s a concept he uses a lot. imagine shouto and his father saving iida while deku slowly figures out the mystery behind his new mentor... imagine deku coming to the horrible realization why dabi’s bathroom is like that. “how do you live like this?” he’ll blurt out at one point and dabi will huff, shrug like always and say: “you get used to it.” and that’ll be the most heart-breaking thing deku’s heard up until that point because he knows how highly shouto thinks of his brother (how badly he wants to be like dabi, who saves people not because of fame and glory but because it’s the only thing he’s ever wanted to do) and how little shouto knows about how much dabi suffers daily just to keep doing his job.
- imagine touya, this sorta nihilistic anti-hero with one of the ugliest quirks imaginable, becoming the hero of the forgotten. imagine him finding magne at her lowest, spinner as he’s about to descend into fanaticism, toga as she’s about to go crazy with craving for blood and shigaraki, who’s kept angry and hateful by someone who should’ve been like a father for him. imagine him just being there. he’s a hero - not a pretty one like hawks, who, despite his dark affiliation with the HPSC, could never understand a villainous mind like he does. he’s a hero, who saves people because he grew up wanting nothing more and chasing his dream quite literally to death and beyond. dabi’s still an asshole, still scarred most of the time, pierces himself whenever he has the energy to do it (because they’re just going to fall out and the holes will be closed when he comes back) and lives between emptiness and mania... but he’s a hero and he knows how to help.
- imagine touya keeping magne from going for the killing blow and getting her help with her transition. imagine him going into heated debates about stain’s ideology with spinner and stealthily letting him warm up to dabi until he casually proposes for spinner to become his sidekick (because all a mutant-type quirk user who’s been heavily discriminated against wants is a place to belong and a place to fight against the inequality, right?). imagine touya calling toga a little psycho and denying vehemently that he likes her company but still going absolutely out of his way to ensure she has clean blood to drink and hobbies (throwing darts, shooting bows, collecting knives) to satisfy her cravings. imagine touya, of all people, coaxing shigaraki out of all for one’s grasp by getting him a gaming buddy (spinner) and showing him places where a decay quirk can run rampant (dagobah beach is far from the only accumulation of trash where it shouldn’t be). imagine him helping others: jin, mr compress, mustard, gentle criminal, la brava... all those “villains” who easily could become so much more than that. imagine touya just listening to these people and offering them a life away from paranoia and bloodshed. all because touya became a hero and heroes help people.  
- imagine shouto finding out about his brother’s actual quirk by asking: “why do you use his fire?” to which dabi accidentally blurts out: “killing myself twice in a row would use up an unnecessary amount of energy.” and shouto’s rendered speechless because at that moment he realizes how privileged he is and how much of an ass it made him look like when he rejected using his own fire, which has virtually no drawbacks.
(maybe the reason why dabi distanced himself was that he couldn’t bear to look at what could’ve been him had his body not given him the literally worst quirk in existence.)

Why does void L hate Void D so much? Is it just some far off feeling or something?
Close! Tho truly, there's many reasons for their.. dynamic
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Having no recollection of their past lives, D & L don't really have that brotherly connection from before. While the multiverse shows clearly their familial relationship, it is also vast and various- they don't trust the idea of loving each other when the idea of hatred and abuse is just as likely.
When a soul persists but fractures after death, they usually latch onto whatever emotion they held last. For L, it was anger, for R, it was grief, and for D, it was.. well, nothing. Complete apathy. While L aggressively feels everything, D feels absolutely nothing. And to L, that in itself is infuriating.
On top of everything else, there's a specific feeling of anger L feels when he's around D. He isn't actually sure why, and M never responds when he asks. L just assumes D is to blame.
Despite their differences though, they depend on each other the most. D is the only one who can handle L's depressive state, and L is the only one sane enough for D to hold a lengthy conversation with. It's not a great relationship, but it's all they really got.

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 2 - Psyche Skills
Part 1 - Part 3
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#disco elysium#MDZS disco elysium au#jiang cheng#jiang yanli#yu ziyuan#While it's more in vogue to draw a character's skill roster tailored to them -#One of the more subtle details I love in DE is how some of the skill portraits parallel character portraits of people hbd associates with.#Theres somethine rather poetic to be said about how other people shape out thoughts and sometimes act as a 'voice' in our head.#How we are in part a collection of impressions other people left behind on us.#I am a huge Skillhead (Those are my friends! My party members! They love me! They have their own agendas and alliances!)#so of course a healthy portion of this AU is dedicated to them <3#the Int skills go basically unchanged from DE. Psy as well (with changes to a few quirks in voice).#Fys skills though...well...wwx is in a different body! Those voices belong to Someone Else.#Esp electrochem (MXY in this AU also partied to near death. WWX is withdrawing and craving substances he's never even heard of before)#While I personally don't fully subscribe to Volition Jean I *do* see Volition Jiang Cheng. The voice of your Not Brother keeping you afloat#All three of these parallels make me unbelievably sad. They are also both purple. Art is like that sometimes.#Empathy Jiang Yanli...oh man do I have a lot of thoughts about her. Disco fans Who Know....you can probably see what I'm cooking.#Authority is a really interesting skill in DE because *yes* its about power and intimidation - but it's also about finesse and respect#Titus Hardie and YZY both abuse *and* finesse how they establish their authority - in a way that leaves quite an impression.#2 more mdzs disco posts that I *need* to create and then I'm off to working on raffles <3

oda shouldn't have made it a point of zoro never calling sanji by his name once in the entire manga if he didn't want me to picture a scenario where zoro singlehandedly brings sanji back from the germa influence simply by calling out his name for the first time

one of my favorite parts of the admiration quirk au is that in izuku's hands, the quirk is amazing but it would become next to worthless in AF's hands since I can't imagine anyone who afo admires
AFO, looking at Izuku's quirk: "Great. This is worthless to me."

When Thunder stays with Clear Sky for a while, does Clear ever insist on referring to him as Thunder Sky?
Towards the end yes, as the final detail to Thunder Storm that Clear Sky doesn't love him. He wants to ERASE him.
If Clear Sky recognizes he's made a mistake in casting Bright Storm away with their child, he's incapable of seeing it was wrong because it was cruel. He wants what he realizes he threw away, because he now sees it has value. He wants to own his oldest son the way he wants to own the entire forest-- as a reflection of his greatness.
Anything that makes Clear Sky uncomfortable about Thunder Storm has to be sanded down. The assertiveness was the first thing, he feels insecure when he's challenged, the child must learn to follow before he may learn to lead.
The second is that leg, presenting a prosthetic as a gift (that he isnt allowed to refuse), because he can't have been wrong about the choice that killed his younger brother-- here is a SOLUTION that simply didn't exist before! Behold how resourceful and wealthy his cats are, compared to your old group. We've fixed you.
(This prosthetic is a clunky piece of shit that is annoying to strap on every day, gets in the way and makes a ton of noise, and itches like hell, but the change in Clear's demeanor is immediate if Thunder doesn't wear it.)
But somehow, Thunder Storm was willing to take all of that. In hindsight, it bothers him that the tipping point wasn't the other two things.
Bright Storm gave her son her own last name. When Clear Sky sent them away and the Mountain Cats permanently split, it was pointed. "My only survivor is named for myself." SHE would raise him, alone.
Bright Storm herself slowly seemed to lose sight of the meaning, encouraging him to understand his father's good aspects, but in the meanwhile it took on a new meaning to Thunder. His mother raised him. He found a father in Shaded Flower. He grew up next to Lightning Cry and Acorn Swoop. Thunder Storm means this. It's the person he made himself, and the love they've all put into him.
Thunder SKY is just another monument to Clear Sky, stripping away the life he lived without him. And WHY? For ego? For comfort?
"What am I letting him DO to me?!"
It wasn't the final STRAW, but it was the tipping point. Once Thunder Storm had this realization, the minute he was not going to budge on something, that confrontation was inevitable. The blowout fight was making reservations.
Sunlit Frost is still the breaking point, the injury from his burn going sour, but I'm going to emphasize the way that Clear Sky only called that meeting in the first place as an abuse game. Thunder Storm knew it was coming-- but it still sickens him that it was something THIS monstrous.

do you ever also think about the fact that death is the only endless in the comics who doesn't have a speech bubble quirk?
destiny speaks only in italics
Tumblr media
dream has his classic black/white wobbly bubble and a unique font
Tumblr media
destruction's speech bubbles have thicker lines than everyone else
Tumblr media
desire also has a unique font
Tumblr media
despair gets her shaky ripped paper bubbles
Tumblr media
and delirium of course is always psychedelically coloured
Tumblr media
but death just talks like any other human
Tumblr media Tumblr media
because she's the only one of them who's realised that the best way to thrive as an endless is not to hold yourself above mortals, or confine yourself only to your domain - you have to live, to be part of them, because you were always part of them, that's why you exist
and your job is a lot easier to do with them alongside you

You know what's messed up about people hating on characters who cry? When the character actually has legit reasons to cry! Some of them be put in life or death situations! AND BE KIDS!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I would cry every single second if I was Midoriya. Like, folks be calling him a "crybaby" in a derogatory fashion but think about all he has gone through.
You really think you wouldn't be crying, too? Be honest, be honest. Even if you don't do it right in front of people, you would cry behind closed doors.

Do you think AFO was trying to steal Yoichi's embers, as if he could take his Quirk Factor through the leftovers to be together again?
But he only erased Yoichi instead, by trying to steal what was left? And the incomplete Factor couldn't be stolen, because of how miniscule it was?
The same as Yoichi before One For All? That measly Factor that could only give, and nothing else, that even AFO couldn't notice it?
Did All For One kill Yoichi again on accident?

Okay it’s been a week since I watched the series finale of Clone Wars. And like, of all the deaths I have seen in Star Wars, I don’t any of them have disturbed me as much as Jesse’s. Like yeah, there was Fives and Tech (that one is arguable), and there was Nemik from Andor, but there was just something about Jesse the ARC Trooper in his final moments.
And I know the obvious answer is the inhibitor chip, there’s no way to talk around it because it’s the reason he died along with so many clones. But it was just, I dunno, the way he behaved when it was activated. The way that, even when the entire venator was going down and there were no chance of surviving unless on an escape pod or shuttle, he was just desperately (and I say that because that is what it felt like to me) trying to get to Rex and Ahsoka to execute them. Because he believed that was more important then the survival of his men and himself.
I believe that Jesse without the chip would have kriffed the order and made sure as much as his brothers made it off the venator as possible, even if it was evident that Rex and Ahsoka were traitors.
Look, I know that’s the whole point of the chips. That they took away everything that made the clones who they were, and made them… meat droids (ugh I seriously dislike that label). Blindly follow orders, even at the cost of the self.

AU where Yoichi's secret super power was to make other people go yandere crazy for him and the reason why the OFA vestige space is a vault is because it's a manifestation of the secret desire of the OFA users to imprison him
