k, i need to ride mechanic touya ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐

ugh just our hot tatted, hands dirty from car oil mechanic touya (*/ω＼) imagine that he’s your third mechanic that you’ve gone to see about car problems and you’re practically done with all the bullshit you’ve been fed from other car shop dudes. you’re so riled up about all the issues you’ve had with your stupid car that at first you don’t notice how hot he is. but touya notices how adorable you are despite you being snippy as he asks the standard questions of ‘what’s wrong with it’ and what you’ve been informed by prior mechanics.

now mechanic touya is not a miracle worker; he’s just a guy that knows the ins and outs of car maintenance. so he gives it to you straight that your car is indeed a piece of shit but it’s a piece of shit that he can at least make drivable. the diagnosis he gives you is not as bad as you were told before so you visibly relax as touya goes over the costs and he gives you a date to pick up your car which is his closing time of his shop in just a few days.

when you look over the invoice, you note how he cut most of the costs. “you sure you did this right?”

mechanic touya says that it’s not a big deal, just don’t go to any guy except him from now on. maybe it’s the gratefulness that you won’t have to sell any organs just to cover the costs but you notice how fucking fine he is and bashfulness kicks in. “i’m really grateful… thank you. but i really should pay you in full for all you’ve done.”

so mechanic touya tells you, “well baby, if you really wanna show me how grateful you are. come help me test the new shocks on my car.”

and then you’re bouncing on touya’s lap in the backseat of his red convertible bmw 325i. the top is put down so that you don’t hit your head and he’s telling you what a cute little thing you are and how lucky you are that he was your third consultation. your head is dizzy with all the filthy words he gifts to you and you chase your high. mechanic touya makes himself comfortable and leans back to enjoy the show, his car bouncing slightly with your movement. it’s when he calls you a good girl that has you whining and then you’re hanging onto him, begging into his ear to call you a good girl again.

#on the down low mechanic touya fixed up most of the problems of your car except for one thing #he could have fixed up everything but that would mean that you wouldn’t return to him for a while #and mechanic touya wants to see you again in his shop #he wants to bend you over the hood of your own shitty car and then fuck you in the passenger seat of his car #so when you inevitably have to come in again to ask him to fix your car again touya always makes you top priority #dabi x reader #dabi smut #k.inbox

todoroki touya (dabi) x reader “[3:07 a.m.]”

warnings: swearing, angst with no happy ending (i think?? m not sure 🫠) this is like a. vent, ig, haha. also probably shitty cus it's stupid and unedited and like. three in the morning.

[3:07 a.m.]

when dabi finally slips into your room, reeking of burnt flesh and ash and ruin, you’re already fast asleep,

(the shape of you heart-wrenchingly small under the thick covers, as if you were trying to protect yourself from- his heart clenches. from him.)

but that’s just as well, or so dabi thinks. the hour is ungodly, and he comes home late - later than late, actually, late enough that it’s early. late enough that you probably thought he wasn’t coming home at all, and who could blame you?

dabi is a man that commits arson and felonies on tuesday evenings and grins at the rising smoke and flames. he’s a man that burns to the touch, if he lets you in close enough - an icarus with melting wax wings, forever falling under the sun because some shitty feathers and a twisted ambition isn’t enough to keep him from burning.

but the thing with you is that you don’t mind the smoke or the ash - even if it means you’ll burn from tending to fire.

because you’re selfless and kind like that - you’ve always been, you with your soft healing hands gentle upon his skin (as if you think he’s actually a thing worthy of such redeeming softness, like he’s actually, really good) and your tender, open smiles and your stupid endless patience that never seems to run out even when he doesn’t come home for days, and when he finally does come, it’s to end up shitfaced and bleeding all over your couch, stealing the change on your counter or running hot when you beg him to stay, and -

dabi doesn’t deserve you, not when he hurts you as much as he loves you. but love has made him selfish - if not a little cruel.

but tonight, he promises, is the last.

the moonlight makes soft of your peaceful, sleeping face, and you’re so achingly beautiful like this, no furrow to your brow or wobbling curve of your mouth.

mindlessly, one of his hands drifts up to trace over the plump of your cheek, the bridge of your nose and then your jaw, stroking softly.

his breath trembles.

there are shadows under your eyes, dried tears on your cheeks. all because of him. what else does he need to see to know that this is what he does to you? that this is why he needs to leave?

for a world-muffling second, there is only the slow rise and fall of your chest, the soft lull of your breathing. the cadence of your heartbeat slow and sleepy as it beats against his own chest, thump thump thumping with your every breath.

and dabi lets his hand fall away, makes to stand up. he loves you, but you’re better off without him. this is for your own good, this is for his own good–

your eyes blink open in the darkness, tired and dark and mournful as you peer up at him through the shadows, your pinkie slowly, unflinchingly curling around his.

“stay,” you murmur, and he can hear the hoarse exhaustion in your voice.

“stay. please.” you whisper again, and dabi doesn’t have the heart to say no.

he slips back under the covers, lets you grip his hand tightly like you’re afraid he’ll disappear again, because it’s not entirely false. kisses your forehead, your cheeks, your fluttering eyelids. your trembling mouth.

“i love you, dabi.” you murmur, eyes fluttering shut again.

“love you too.” he tells you, guiltily waiting for when you’ll fall asleep again.

FIN-

It hurts me so much knowing that Touya still has so much to say but now in this condition he can barely let out words, so all he manages to say is for them to all die :(

[kelin-is-writing]

Exactly.

That’s why I have so many ideas and thoughts, and theories. I legit could write an essay. Because I will if I have too.

Touya didn’t have to turn into Dabi. Dabi didn’t have to exist. Ya know? He needed family and he didn’t get that until the league even then he doesn’t really consider them a family I feel like. I mean he does and doesn’t. I need to sort that thought out before I can explain perfectly.

i think at this point dabi is so afraid to get hurt again by others, that he genuinely doesn't want to create bonds with anyone anymore and the way he sometimes is off alone during his missions says everything about it.

but you know what, i think he cares lots for the L.O.V more than dabi actually shows and there were plenty times it showed. our boy probably even panicked the moment he started to think that, maybe, having and seeing a family in the league is not that bad of a thing after all.

that being said, this man deserves happiness while endeavor deserves d34th and i stand by this 🥰

#kelin responds #answered #nathan sharp wife #literally... #fuck endeavor #and pro-herhoes too (except aizawa present mic and midnight th others can root in hell for what i care) 🙄 #as long as dabi and my lov babies are happy life is good 🤧💜

Well since I was talking about Hawks having an abnormally high as fuck caloric intake and it IS starvation day for hurt Hawks week-

Imagine people just not knowing this. His diet requirements have just never been something he's shared. So when the League of Villains finds out he's a spy and takes him hostage, they are feeding him. They don't hate him, don't want him dead, he's just a liar and more importantly: a threat that they need to have contained. So of course they're giving him food. This imprisonment is all just temporary until the villains can win their fight.

Which is why Dabi doesn't know what to do when one of the PLF guards comes to tell him that Hawks is acting very sick. Pale, shakey, lethargic. They don't know why because he is eating and he's not throwing it up and isn't coughing or anything like that. So Dabi, for the first time since Hawks was captured, goes into the cell to talk to him. He's horrified when the closer look at the hero shows how much weight he's lost, how dull his eyes and feathers are. It's then that Dabi realizes they've been unintentionally starving him the entire time he's been in here. And worse, since Hawks had no contact with anyone, he had no idea if it was intended or not. If it was a misunderstanding, or if the League wanted him to be weak and hurting.

#hawks #keigo takami #mha hawks #takami keigo #bnha hawks #hawks bnha #dabihawks #dabi #hurt hawks #writing prompts #hawks starvation #hurt hawks week #starved hawks #and then dabi carries him out bridal style and is like fuck heroes and villains im getting you food #im just a sucker for the league not hating hawks #but still knowing he is the enemy and needs to be restrained #except they feel HORRIBLE because they know #hawks hates everything about being in a cell #its trauma upon trauma upon trauma for him #but they didnt know what else to do #tw: starvation #tw: food #tw: eating habits #tw: eating problems

[whileyoureinschoolidothisallday]

okay the thing I wanted to talk about for Touya:

So over on the discord server we’ve been watching s5 of mha cause some of my friends hadn’t seen it yet, and I REALLY wanna watch s6 with them, and last night we finally finished.

I noticed something.

I and probably a ton of other people have talked about how Touya probably related to the High End Nomu he sent after Endeavor and very much sent that one on purpose. HOWEVER, I don’t see a lot of analysis about the Line Guy he also sent his way.

Here’s what I think: I think the Nomu battle was foreshadowing his battle vs Shouto, which was focused on who was the strongest and who could last out between the two of them, and I think the Line Guy is foreshadowing his “battle” with Endeavor.

I put battle in quotations because, like with the Line Guy, I don’t think it’s gonna be much of a fight.

The Line Guy is almost a 1-1 projection of Touya. One of the first thing he says to Endeavor is that he’s so happy he remembers him. The first thing he does when he gets out of prison is search for Endeavor, even before he eats. He’s obsessed with Endeavor. He’s obsessed with dying. He doesn’t want anyone else to kill him but Endeavor. He will hurt other people to get Endeavor to hurt him. He uses one of his sons to get to him.

For most of that battle, Endeavor is frozen on the ground. And per the last chapter:

he’s pretty much in the same position.

How that battle ends isn’t because of Endeavor, it’s because of the kids. They beat the Line Guy because Endeavor is just too frozen up to act. While I don’t think he’s gonna freeze up this time, I do think he’s going to refuse to fight Touya. And like the Line Guy, it’s gonna make him furious. He needs Endeavor to kill him. It won’t fit his narrative otherwise. Often when kids are in situations like Touya was, they start to believe that any attention is better than no attention, even negative painful punishments. In Touya’s mind, killing Endeavor, and therefore getting Endeavor to kill him in the process, is the ultimate acknowledgement.

But Endeavor’s not that violent guy anymore.

I personally have not seen enough from Endeavor yet to like him like some of y’all do, but it would be untrue to say that he is the same man that we started the series with. We’ve been with that man for many arcs now...but Touya hasn’t. The only father he knows is violent, ruthless, cold. He will hurt his family for the betterment of his Hero status without a second thought. He admired those traits in his father because his kid brain understood that as the source of his power. Just like the Line Guy.

And I think it’s gonna end in the same way, with Touya feeling rejected by a man who no longer exists. What’ll “save him” isn’t Endeavor, it isn’t him doing a round-a-bout himself. It’ll be the weight of his grief breaking him. He will never get what he wants now and that’ll be too much to bare. He’ll crack. That battle genius we’ve been seeing, him being always two steps ahead, all of that will start to slip away as his mental health reaches his breaking point, until he makes the one mistake that leaves him broken and sobbing in Shouto’s ice.

Cause that’s what happens with the Line Guy

#dabi #touya todoroki #mha meta #mha musings #tl;dr touya and azula sit at the same lunch table in the asylum lmfao #since the reveal I have wanted his ending to be like azulas and I am so fucking stoked that might actually happen #but seriously if you haven't listened to this guy talk with touya in mind #holy shit does it hit different #everyone has taken steps to break the cycle of violence in the Todoroki family #EXCEPT Touya #and unfortunately that's gonna end up being the ultimate abandonment he just can't get up from #in his mind it's gonna mean he's left behind again

[seethinglikeme]

seeing ppl say that dabi’s an emotionless sociopath just bc he says he is is actually annoying af to me 😭 like r u rlly gonna say the guy who thought so hard abt the families of the ppl he’s killed he went crazy, went berserk when twice died, and literally burned himself to death BC he was so emotional that his father didn’t come to see his quirk’s development is unemotional just bc he says he is? cmon babes be for fucking real 😭

#and bc ik there r counterarguments to the examples i listed: #1) he said that out loud to himself while wiping blood away from his eye scar which is used to symbolise his tears since he cant cry #so no it’s not him lying or faking it or acting. it’s dabi thinking out loud and expressing his feelings #in a scene btw that wasn’t necessary to that arc’s plot or anything - horikoshi decided to put it in for a different reason then #(perhaps to show the audience that just bc dabi says he’s emotionless doesn’t actually mean he is. but what do i know) #2) yeah he said he’s upset abt twice’s death bc it affects him negatively. but that doesn’t make sense #why high-five him then? that wasn’t necessary - u can argue it boosts twice’s morale but to do what? escape from hawks & help the plf? #twice has plenty of motivation to do that - he already was! so why else? throwing a dog a bone? dabi’s not the type to do that and even if #he was that implies some sort of pity or fondness which also disproves the emotionless thing #not only that but his reaction when twice died was not a ‘fuck i just lost a useful tool for my plan’ #that was someone in the anger stage of grief and going mad w it #also we legit saw dabi’s touya reveal & it was obv not a plan he’d adjusted or created in the time btwn twice’s death and that moment #same 4 the video #and i mean we see dabi fight endeavor & shouto and he does all that alone - none of the plf help #if he doesn’t let the rest of the league help him then why woild twice have been the exception? and actually why would the guy who #told deku to stay out of the todoroki family’s business and didnt tell the league his identity til he revealed it to everyone want someone #else’s help?? #it doesn’t make sense - more likely that dabi was mourning a friend/ally and emotional enough and he came up w a shitty excuse bc of it #3) i mean it’s basically canon that he lost control of his flames BC he was so emotional #and there r plenty more examples i just chose those 3 bc they’re bigger ones #but burning down toga’s family home burning down the orphanage returning to the todoroki family home in the first place etc #trying to inflict as painful a death as he could on hawks etc #all displays of emotion and shit #and tbh i could prbly argue that his constant reiteration that he’s a sociopath who doesn’t feel anything is all bluster and bullshit to #make himself be thought of as worse than he is bc itd hurt enji’s rep even more #i have more to say but u get the picture #if i see one more piece of dabi hate calling him emotionless and sociopathic im going to start biting #todoroki touya #dabi #me

[lesbiansanemi]

When will I learn that I don’t actually like bnha that much

#I was like ‘hey I’ll finally catch up on the new season’ #and literally the entire time I’m like ‘this sucks and is boring’ #and that has happened like…. the last three seasons #I haven’t actually enjoyed watching this series since I was like 17 #maybe…. I should stop lying to myself and just accept I don’t like it #I literally only pay attention if shigaraki dabi or toga are on screen because they are the only ones I care about at this point #except even with them everything post the dabi being Touya reveal I am just mad about how they’re being handled nfjfkdkd #shigaraki especially I’m like ‘wow!!!! you don’t deserve a character like him and are fucking him up!!!!’ #anyways #yeah I don’t think I like this series lmfao #but then again…. I hated naruto even more and watched all 700 episodes so I don’t think this realization will keep me from watching it 😭😭 #kaz rambles

[deadboyswalking]

My favorite pre-Kamino shigadabi trope is dabi quickly becoming a distraction that tomura is absolutely not supposed to have.

#hiding from sensei and making out in camera blind spots #going on 'intel missions' together as an excuse to fuck where kurogiri can't stumble upon them #literally everyone knows except afo who strongly dislikes dabi for allegedly unrelated reasons 👀 #tomura gets kissed and all thoughts of his plans fall clean out of his head

[gloridoesntexist]

After reading the manga a while back, I thought "what if Touya never woke up from his coma?"

and that happened-

I love watching shows and writing down my theories for the most popular ao3 characters and ships. Makes me feel like an archeologist or something

Sometimes I get it right and feel clever, and sometimes a ship I assume will be most popular is not there AT ALL and I'm like. I'm not even personally into this ship but it's OBVIOUSLY there, open your eyes people!

And then sometimes I ship I would not have even considered is in the top 3 ships and it's like. What?? Where are you all getting this???

It's fascinating

#Yeah I just did this for my hero academia #the ao3 most popular ships are SO much more wholesome than I expected #But also i assumed Hawks would he the mainstream most popular anime boy but apparently he's not even that popular? #and DABI?? Why does everyone love fucking DABI so much #then again i havent finished s6 yet so maybe they explore him more later #Also surprised at the lack of allmight/dave content these two are so gay for each other #did NOT expect allmights most popular ship option to be aizawa #also i assumed Twice would be WAY more popular #He's the most likeable villain by FAR but nobody seems to care about him at all #Not much villain content in general except for Dabi #myposts
