I can’t think about dabihawks too much or my brain will explode cuz its like custom tailor made for me as a former Maximum Ride tween and current Frankenstein freak.
You got the bird man. Not an angel. He’s a BIRD MAN. He’s owned by the government, he’s their guard dog. His wings, the thing he flies with, the symbols of freedom, are what keep him trapped. He’s been trained his whole life to fight. He’s never been himself.
You got the discount Frankenstein monster. He’s stitched together with rotting parts. He ran away from home after being rejected by his father. He kills people to get revenge on his father, his creator. He’s punk. He’s a pyromaniac. He just wants to be loved.
Hawks is air. Dabi is fire. Air can blow out a fire but it also fuels fire. If you trap fire in an air tight container it will suffocate, it’ll burn all the air up until it dies.
Hawks was born poor and sold off for money and into money. His whole life is controlled. Dabi was born rich and died and lives on the streets, on the run.
They’re both 22. They hate each other. They’re narrative foils.
And they’re both boys.
If heroes are supposed to help those in need, comfort the distressed and protect the vulnerable, then Tomura Shigaraki deserves the title of the greatest hero. Not because he had the highest ranking or saved the most lives or was the "goodest person" but because he did that shit. He gave a place to the disenfranchised he kept them safe and fed to the best of his ability and fought for their happiness. Not out of want for fame or glory. Not even because of some grand sense of altruisim. But because he saw the league as people, as his friends.
In spite of AFO's schemes, in spite of hero society's apathy, in spite of the fucking narrative both in universe and in our lives, Tomura Shigaraki was a hero. And even when he failed he never stopped trying.
Tomura Shigaraki is the greatest hero in the series.
Touya drawing because I won’t be able to draw for his bday (I’m busy this month 😢👎)
IM NOT PORUD OF THIS
I have to say it. 'enemies to lovers' started going down the shitter when people began treating it like 'people who kind of annoy each other to lovers' ENEMIES to LOVERS is about if two girls FOR REAL want to KILL each other
keigo just wanted to see his man flaunting like a villain again. sorry (bonus + dialogue under the cut)
he’s just so flamboyant how does anyone take him seriously
