Twice was my main man inside the Recovery zine ( @recoveryzine ) and this is the whole piece for it, thank you for buying the book!! Leftover copies will be up soon so keep an eye on it!

the real change that dabi went through is from 🌸pastel icon🌸 to 💀goth king💀, good for him, not everyone can rock both so perfectly like him, a true LEGEND

He's the Barbie of bnha 💖

Their friendship

i know you've touched on this subject before but it really pains me to hear how people voice their want for touya to die instead of being on life support despite the fact that he, himself, still wanted to live. "there are still arguments I want to have, and things I still want to say," after all.

i think people misunderstand a lot of touya's feeling about taking his own life at the end of it all. from what i took about his character, as soon as he reclaimed is name again, he regressed back into how he was emotionally as a child, and it only got worse from that point.

a damaged child, especially a neglected one, will always hurt themselves and care little when they've been shown no care. so how do they get that care? hurting themselves, and if necessary, ending their life. but he doesn't need to do that anymore.

he wanted to live, and though his circumstances are saddening (or well was, let's hope he can finally do things considering there was no confirmation), it's a good thing he showed some kind of regret about the fate he nearly had, and expressed a desire to still continue.

I think this is fully on how Horikoshi depicted the situation with needlessly cruel horror that feels really unnecessary.

If Ch 426 put more care into depicting Touya:

1. Not being in pain

2. Getting relief from his family coming to see him

3. Getting affirmation that he’s loved and always was

4. Showed that people were in fact grateful for being saved

People wouldn’t feel like Touya would have been better off dying. Think in comparison how nobody says that Spinner or Overhaul would have been better off being dead and it becomes painfully obvious how Horikoshi undermines his own narrative with the circumstances he set up, which feel like needless horror.

I fundamentally understand what he’s trying to portray, but I think his art choices are at odds with his narrative goal (if that is to depict a peaceful death for Touya as a fix-it for his violent death on Sekoto peak).

Even if he wanted to depict Touya’s hopeless, miserable state,he could have shown the chapter in parallel from an internal headspace where we can see child Touya getting emotional relief -sort of a continuation of the Ch 388 image.

A lot of people get hung up on the fact Dabi called spinner lizard, which is considerably quirkist, but no one ever wants to talk about how after the first and only time it happened he never did it again once spinner clearly established he didn't like it. Dabi was willing to grow as a person and learn not to use the term for his teammate after one time.

I was re reading chapter 249 again for reference and I never noticed this before and it made my heart ache.

Idk if it's the translation but Fuyumi almost sounds callous. Dismissive. This is about their dead brother and she talks about it as if it was a short-term problem that the family encountered and they, esp the mom, excluding Natsu, "got over"

i just copy-pasted my message. Dumping my thoughts rn.
