Wade: What Are You In The Mood For?

Wade: What are you in the mood for?

Logan: World domination.

Wade: That's a bit ambitious.

Logan: You are my world.

Wade: Aww...

Logan: …

Wade: …

Logan: …

Wade: OH.

I think he started when he was on the streets because nicotine inhibits the feeling of hunger, and while being homeless and a freelance arsonist i think he had better luck finding cigarettes instead of food

And then he plans to die, so he doesn't care a lot about his lungs or health, he just needs his body whole enough to kill Endeavor and burn with him, so

I didn’t know that Dabi smoking (cigarettes) was such a huge topic of debate, SO—

Reblog and explain your reasoning, if you’d like! 🖤

This is gold, I love them so much, it's perfect

Nailed it, 10/10, thank you ✨

Drabble-A-Thon Prompt 5

Pairing: Shigadabi

Rating: Teen

Prompt: From @dahvampire. Shigaraki is trying to play a new game when Dabi comes in and tries to annoy him, but he gets sucked in and Tomura tries to teach him how to play.

Contents: Mentioned gun violence against a child (in a video game)

The nice thing about both he and Dabi being incredibly independent is that the two of them have no qualms about not spending every moment of every day together, even when they don’t have work, treatments, or other obligations forcing them together or apart. They know when and how to seek each other out for quality time, and they know when they should leave the other alone and entertain themselves. Tomura thought that this would be an ‘entertain themselves’ kind of day when he came back to check on Dabi in the morning after his insomnia forced him from bed early, only to find that his firefly had already gotten up too, and that his workout clothes were missing. He hadn’t reappeared around breakfast, and Tomura figured that meant he wanted time alone. This was fine by him, because as much as he loves his firefly, they don’t actually have many hobbies in common that are completely outside of sex or work. Dabi reads a lot, always worrying that someone is going to notice that he has gaps in his education, and focusing on researching heroes. Tomura has done his fair share of studying and doesn’t return to that for fun, he goes to games. Especially now that he can have any system and play however he wants without his teacher or Kurogiri breathing down his neck. 

He’s about an hour into playing the new RPG has been causing a lot of buzz when Dabi comes back into their room. He must have showered downstairs because his hair is wet and he smells like his soap and shampoo instead of smoke. 

“Hey, firefly.” He expects his lover to get his book or phone and plop down on the couch beside him, but instead Dabi moves to stand directly in front of the TV. 

“What are you doing?” 

“Playing a game.” He says, immediately picking up on his lover’s attitude. Someone must have pissed him off, or he had a nightmare that Tomura wasn’t there to help with. Either way, he knows that Dabi is always angling more for a fight when things like this happen. “Come here, firefly.” 

And the fact he’s willing to put down his game and give him the attention that he clearly wants is enough to make Dabi not want it anymore. He wants to start something, not be comforted or doted on, but Tomura is good about not getting into fights with Dabi when his mood is fluctuating like this. Besides, those fights aren’t even real. There’s no genuine animosity in them, it’s just Dabi looking to get them both riled up so they can have rough sex and the even softer aftercare when they’re finished which soothes the frustration and hurt feelings that made him lash out in the first place. Dabi still struggles to just ask for the things he wants, but Tomura will give them all to him anyway. 

Dabi huffs and flops down on the other end of their couch, out of his reach, and pulls out his phone. “No. I’m still sore.” No he’s not. If he were, then he wouldn’t have gone to work out this morning, but Tomura lets him lie and pout. “I’m going to order curry for lunch.” 

“Okay.” He doesn’t hate spicy food, but it’s not his favorite and Dabi always orders the spiciest curry that he can find. He’s not going to argue with him over lunch either, and he resumes his game. Dabi will either make himself enough of a pest that Tomura actually has to punish him for his behavior, he’ll burn himself out, or he’ll actually ask for the comfort and attention that he clearly wants and he can dote on him for the rest of the day. But until he decides how he wants to go about this, he’s going to enjoy his game. 

Or he’s going to try to. Dabi sticks his feet right into his lap, making him misclick and lose his boss fight. “Oops.” 

“It’s fine, baby.” Tomura says, shifting his hand to gently squeeze his ankle as the screen reloads. “I just hit a checkpoint.” 

That only serves to make Dabi more obnoxious, of course. He starts playing news clips at full volume on his phone, shifting around on the couch, dragging his tongue stud over the staples on the inside of his cheeks to create a grating tinkling sound. He doesn’t pay him any attention. He keeps playing his game, getting up to the top floor and killing the villain who is holding the kid hostage. Dabi tries to distract him while he’s in the middle of the fight, but he doesn’t lose, getting past the boss, picking up his weapon, and going to find the little girl. 

She comes out from underneath a table, excited to see a hero in person for the first time, and the character on the screen gets the order to kill her. Tomura has heard that the ‘villain’ track is much shorter and clearly the path that the developers weren’t that invested in creating, so he takes the order that the mock-hero agency gives and shoots the girl dead, though the game carefully cuts around the violence. 

“What the fuck was that?” Dabi sounds genuinely curious now, sitting up from the couch a bit. 

“What?”

“I thought you were a hero? Heroes don’t kill kids.” 

“Not as far as the public is aware.” Tomura says. 

“In games and shit.” Dabi counters. 

“This is an American game. It’s inspired by a comic series and some cases about forty years ago where they found out that heroes who weren’t getting paid the ‘correct’ amount to save hostages would bump off or leave behind the ‘extras’.” The level finishes with a cut scene that shows that the PC was commended for his work, that people were sad he couldn’t get to the girl in time, but his public approval rating went up in the aftermath of the event. 

The scene after that opens on the hub of the agency, and Tomura is able to put his points into his skill tree and pick his quirk: Fire, Ice, Mind Control, Super Strength, Super Speed, or Flying. Dabi is still watching over his shoulder so he asks.

“What quirk do you think would be good, firefly?” 

“Wait, you didn’t already have a quirk? I thought it was like Snipe. Why did you have all those guns then?” 

“It’s an American game, baby.” 

Dabi rolls his eyes, but then says, “If you’re gonna be using people like pawns, you might as well go the whole way and take Mind Control.” 

Tomura selects it, and then is dropped back into the gameplay, getting to see the different objectives and paths forward in the game. There are a lot of people to talk to within his agency, and he starts to move around the building and have different conversations with people. 

“Wait, you can decide what to say?” 

“Yeah,” he always got the sense that Dabi didn’t have any games growing up as a kid, even seeming confused when he and the others play simple racing or party games together when they’re spending time as a group, but he doesn’t mind explaining. If this can be a distraction from whatever is bothering his lover, then he’s happy to share it with him. “Come here.” 

Dabi doesn’t protest this time, though he does tense a little when Tomura pulls him in close to his side and gives over the controller to him. “This is a role-playing game–”

“Oh you’re one of those players, I should have guessed.” 

He nips Dabi’s cheek right above his staples in retaliation, but continues to show him where to rest his fingers. “I think there are romanceable non-player characters, but it’s not that kind of role-playing. It just means that you get to build your character and decide how they live in this world. Everyone who plays this game will have a character who is going to be a little different from another person’s. You get to talk to the other characters and that will change how they treat you in the future. RPGs are supposed to feel like you’re living through the experience of the game.” 

“So you want to be a corrupted hero?” 

“Know your enemy.” He wants to play this because it’s being banned in Japan, he wants to play it because it was banned on and off in America too. He wants to know if he should be having Skeptic online leaking and reposting free copies of it so that more people play it and find out what is so important about it. Media is one of the best places to strike at people’s beliefs. A game that focuses on the way that heroes have corrupted and broken this society could help them a lot. And he likes to play games. It’s a win-win. 

As he shows Dabi how to navigate to their next objective, going to see a psychologist so he can be cleared for active duty again, and he hears Dabi mumble, “There’s no way that he wouldn’t be having nightmares after shooting a kid,” and selects the dialogue option that shows a flicker of remorse from their character, he knows that this may be a win on this front as well. He’ll take over for him during the fight scenes, but if this helps Dabi work through, or distract him from whatever was upsetting him earlier until he’s ready to talk, then Tomura will take this as an even bigger win.  

Thanks so much for your support! If you would like to participate, consider checking out my ko-fi here!

I was looking at the chart for the MHA best hero or what it's called, the poll in which you can vote the characters and the 1st one will have a film, and basically in every section the top three is made of Shouto, Deku and Bakugou.

Why? I mean, okay, they're the main characters, they're good characters, no hating on them, but we already have two films about them. I mean, come on. We have the chance to get some in-depth about some obscure character like, I don't know, Kurogiri or Dabi, or Shigaraki himself -because even tho the last two are two of the most popular characters we actually don't know a lot about them before their first debut on screen-

I understand that 1A class is the main character, but there's so much more to exploit instead of going again for another three-days-adventure during summer break

Give us Dabi's life on the streets, his struggles and his determination; give us Shigaraki's twisted vision on reality given to him by AFO himself; gives us Kurogiri's lapsus of memories about his previous life, about his past, about who he was.

Don't give us another redundant "we'll save the world with the power of friendship", please, I'm getting sick of it. It's a great concept, okay, but it has already been done too many times.

The world you want to save has some darkness in it, too, has some rotten realities that are the only ones known by too many people. Show them too, please.
