''we got along...*more than i thought* '' WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
HORIKOSHI EXPLAIN
'' *MORE THAN I THOUGHT* '' ???? WHAT DID YOU GUYS KISS OR SOME SHIT TELL ME
also, the mark of great insight isn’t necessarily “nuance.” great insight imo requires figuring out when “black and white” positions might be appropriate and when they aren’t. there are no two sides when abuses are rooted in power structures, and acting like both sides are equally valid and worthy of consideration, or that neutrality is possible benefits the more powerful party. again, i don’t mean “collapse awful people into the category of ‘monster’ and good/decent people into ‘human,’” but yeah sometimes you have to say someone’s motivations and feelings don’t matter compared to the harm they did.
Hmmm I just wanna put it out there that
Who cares if you’re ‘inherently evil’ (which is a concept I don’t believe) or more likely, might have a predisposition to antisocial tendencies? You can still change. You can still modify your behavior. It’s never too late to do better. Sure, maybe there’s stuff you can’t fix, but you can still do better.
dabi and hawks? for ship opinion?
okay okay i'm going to be more detailed this time around.
i have very complicated thoughts on dabihawks. like... i do read dabihawks, but that's more because it's all i can ever find for dabi content and i'm at the point where i'm like, whatever, i'll take it. i also will read fics by any mutuals who write dabihawks bc i trust them on their portrayals. and occasionally i'll read a good fic and suddenly get feelings for the ship again (because i used to like it).
HOWEVER... in general i'm not a fan of the ship. for obvious reasons in canon, but i think if it were just bc of canon i would have ignored the ship. its that the shippers have sort of ruined it for me. obviously this is not every single shipper in existence but some of them make it really obvious that they're just hawks stans who don't care about dabi and only use him as an accessory or therapist to hawks. either that, or they demonize shigaraki and the rest of the lov and act like dabi is somehow more morally pure than them, which is... wrong? i dont think this happens a lot anymore but i will occasionally stumble across that even now (i saw one like this today :/) and its just really weird.
i also feel really sick and uncomfortable at any fics that make dabi get together with hawks post-266. i've seen it a few times and i genuinely feel nauseous seeing that sort of stuff because it's like, twice just doesn't matter anymore to dabi bc he's getting together with twice's murderer, or it downplays hawks' actions and pretends that dabi is the aggressor or that he's abusive or something and he needs to beg for forgiveness. and i just really don't like that. before 266 is fine though.
