RE: Hawks using "Touya." Taking into account that he used "Dabi" during the pre 2nd War strategy meetings (where I'm pretty sure Endeavor was absent), and referred to him as "Dabi" in his head in the chapter just before the panel/line you posted, it always read to me like he was using it just to be considerate of Endeavor feelings and/or not to be confusing. (Endeavor is also "Todoroki" after all.) Which of course leads me to imagine that post war he'd politely call him "Touya" in front of Endeavor, but then pettily switch back to "Dabi" the second Endeavor's out of earshot. lol
Oh I love that lmao
Hawks would def be that level of petty and more after everything, and if they do ever interact again, that's what I'm looking forward to

Hi! Can you do some headcanons on how the LoV members would react if they were getting intimate with their s/o (making out, heavy petting or even outright sex) but suddenly, another LoV member walk in on them! Please and thank you! (If it's too much characters, you can pick the ones you want to write about, but I would really appreciate if you at least include Spinner and Twice. Thanks!)
(I’ve decided to include all the members (and associates) in exchange for not specifying who walked in on who. If you want, you can imagine the person after them is the one who walked in on them! That way it stacks on top of itself ^_^)
~Caught in the Act~
Tumblr media
headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up
-Moonfish: The fact that he wasn’t careful enough to conceal your activities together completely make the situation not as shocking when someone walks in on you two. From that point on, you’re sure to shut down all his public advances because you know there’s a high chance at being caught or walked in on. Of course the story isn’t the same if you get a rush from those type of things;)
-Kurogiri: The fact you even convinced him to do inappropriate stuff behind the bar really was a miracle! By the time you two were halfway through relations however, it would prove to be pretty disappointing. As soon as you got walked in on, Kurogiri warped both of you to the bedroom. That’s it for any kind of public sex. He’s over it now, sorry!!!
-AFO: Honestly he’s a little shocked because he thought he had locked the door, but he didn’t apparently. This doesn’t really bother him much though, as he knows nobody is bold enough to try and tease him for something like this. He’s basically in control, so this happens pretty often and he doesn’t care at all. Talk about a confident man, sheesh!
-Twice: “Ah get outta here right now!!!” “Enjoy the show?!” That’s both of his personalities speaking so no need to figure out which one it is at the moment. If you worry this’ll stop him from wanting to have sex like this again, then you’re dead wrong. He’s down for this kinda risky stuff no matter what. Although he remains a little weary of the league member that walked in on him during it.
-Shigaraki: Deadass gets VERY angry at the person that walks in on you two. First step is to cover you as best he can, second step is to throw whatever is heavy near the person that walked in on the two of you. With him being the leader, he’s petty enough to give a weeks worth of hard work on whoever dared walk in on you two and see you in the nude (excluding if it were AFO). Tomura’s philosophy is that HE should be the only one to see you like that! 
-Dabi: Pretty much 3 things could happen. One is him winking and them as they walk in on you two. Two is him asking if they wanna join or to take a picture because it lasts longer. Three is rare, but he gets upset and tells them to get the fuck out. All of which he continues to fuck you despite being walked in. He’s chasing that nut so of course he’s not just gonna stop because somebody walked in
-Spinner: Literally gets too flustered to continue afterwards. He can deal with anybody walking in on him except DABI. Other than that, he’s embarrassed a little less. Sure he’s still hard and ready to go, but this embarrassment far outweighs his horny levels. He’s going to have to cool off for a bit if you wanna go at it some more. Definitely still worried about it happening someday again
-Compress: “Oh my word!” He covers you as best he can and holds you while shouting at the other person to leave. After they go away, he makes sure to lock the door twice (maybe even a third time) and check to see if you’re okay. His whole deal during sex is making sure you’re comfortable. That doesn’t change even if someone has walked in on you two. 
-Magne: She gasps, scoffs, and throws something. Sure she’s down to get back to it afterwards, but in the back of her head she’s thinking about apartments you two should be moving into so stuff like this doesn’t happen. Still, she kinda learns that she likes the rush of being caught during the ordeal so public sex might still be a thing. Even if it’s not full on sex, at least public teasing can be good.
-Muscular: Definitely on the same wavelength as Dabi. He’s cocky and doesn’t give a shit about it. Willing to keep on going even if he’s walked in on. The longer the other person stays, the rougher he gets with you. Hell, if the other person is Dabi then you should really prepared for a threesome (if you’re into that. If not, then let him know way ahead of time).
-Hawks: Those big as wings have a bunch of functions to them. One of which would be when he uses them as shields to hide you sin from the world...or in this case, to hide from whoever walked in on you two just now. Anyway, he’s down to cover you and tell the other person to get lost. Still doesn’t care about public interactions though. He’s a naughty bird boy so he’s more into it actually.
-Giran: “A little privacy here???” He’s gonna be a little grumpy to be walked in on, so it might kill the mood. It’s up to you to get things going again. Don’t worry, it’s really not that hard to make him get going. You’re his kryptonite after all.

HEROES: RISING!! RAMBLINGS & SPOILERS
Literally got out of the movie, got home, showered & sat down to type this out so its probably incoherent lol, I’ve tried to keep my notes in chronological order though 
THE ANIMATIOOOONNNN!!! THE ANIMATION FOR THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE WAS S O GOOD BUT ESPECIALLY THE FIGHT SCENES & CGI USE 
HAWKS!!!!! we finally got him animated AND Nakamura Yuuichi’s voice for him was perfect 
Endeavor vs Dabi..... 2!!! TodorokiTouyaSayWhat
Honesty?? the hero commission and UA agreeing to send a bunch of trainees off to an isolated area with no support at all from pros?? total BS lol like I get it the movie needs its set-up but goddamn there’s no way anyone actually would’ve thought that was a good idea in-universe 
Another complaint: there was too much M*neta, that’s all 
EVERYONE IN CLASS 1-A REALLY GOT TIME TO SHINE!! seeing everyone doing lil jobs around the island was adorable
Kiri freaking out over making a baby cry had by giggling lmao he’s so cute 
Sero sectioning off the beach,,  I Love The He 
Momo was so cute this entire goddamn movie like wow I did not realise I loved her this much, best girl 
MAHORO AND KATSUMA!!!!! so freaking cute and I LOVED Mahoro’s sass 
Also loved all Mahroro and Bakugou’s interactions, king of explodokills gonna throw down with an eight year old lmao 
Speaking of Bakugou: Him constantly yelling ‘Don’t give me orders’ only to then follow said orders?? iconic 
ALSO ICONIC: Midoriya basically fucking tackling him to stop him from getting into it with Mahoro, the cain instinct everybody 
Nine has a hella cool design and like I CANNOT be the only one who thinks he looks at bit like the first OFA user AND Nana Shimura, ESPECIALLY with his hair down 
He looked cool but he’s a fuckin stupid villian, ‘I want a world where the strong rule over the weak’ bitch what world do you think you’re living in now??? 
Not to be a villain-fucker on main but Shigaraki was rlly hot in this movie 
I straight up GASPED when Nine’s blue dragon-y thing got Bakugou, I literally thought he was gonna get cut in half 
Momo and Denki literally exhausting their quirks to keep the islanders safe.... IM PROUD OF THESE FLEDGLING HEROES 
SHOJI!!!!! Shoji was SO good this movie!! gentlest giant ever! the ammount of times he shielded Mahoro & Katsuma with no regard for himself :’)) 
Mina and Tokoyami was an unexpectedly cool team-up, Dark Shadow going sicko mode when Mina gor hurt? I FELT that 
Todoroki ‘Petty’ Shouto voice: My father told me to push my body to its limits with my fire & then use my ice to cool myself down,,,,, I’m gonna do the exact opposite and almost definitely give myself hypothermia 
Seriously!!! the way he just kinda curled up on the ground after defeating Chimera??? that shit hurted 
Red Riot is on the scene! And once again I was blown away by how freaking awesome unbreakable is 
Uravity and Cellophane?? did you mean team up of the motherfucking century??? 
Uraraka pushed herself so goddamn hard she was AMAZING, that last stunt with the logs holding back the literal WAVE of boulders? plus fuckin ultra 
Aoyama was also hella plus ultra, king has an incompatible quirk that gives him severe stomach pain but he still pushed himself so far past his limits
Momo, on the verge of collapse, quirk exhausted: Hey everyone I made two whole goddamn canons 
Seriously where’s that post about how Momo loves canons despite their impracticality, this is getting ridiculous 
Using Kaminari as a freaking lightning rod,, jfc 
Everyone in the cinema lost their SHIT at Bakugou and Midoriya reaching for each other,, Midoriya saying ‘It’s fine if it’s you’ I was C R Y I N G 
Bakugou kicked Midoriya out of the way of one of Nine’s blasts, he could’ve grabbed him or yelled at him to dodge but no, he decided on  kicking him out of the way 
The cain instinct strikes again 
Seeing all of the OFA predecessors animated?? seeing Midoriya in that grey-scale with the orange flame just like All Might at Kamino?? YALL ;-; 
‘This is... the final Smash. Goodbye One For All. Thank you’ 
Bakugou finally fucking got to say ‘detroit smash’. god bless 
Nine literally summoning A Whole Fucking Tornado TM only for Midoriya and Bakugou to punch said Whole Fucking Tornado TM into submission, I can’t 
I thought Deku was gonna use Black Whip in this movie??? I really guess they were trying to avoid as many manga spoilers as possible 
Might+U during the final confrontation with Nine,,,, good fuckin use of the song 
Actually, the whole soundtrack was brilliant, Hayashi Yuki is a fucking genius 
All Might holding Bakugou and Midoriya’s hands, thanking OFA’s predecessors, aaaaaAAAAAAAAA
‘Win to save and save to win, with that you can become the ultimate heroes’ 
SPEAKING OF THAT ^ Bakugou being the one to save Mahoro whilst Deku goes in for the attack on Nine?? character growth babey 
The callbacks to Kamino,, ‘You’re Next’,, the United States of Smash,, All Might is the best don’t @ me 
Bakugou not keeping OFA and not even remembering he had it was a total asspull but I’m willing to write it off as ‘Oh well the movies are only semi-canon anyways also Plot Armour’ 
Bakugou calling Sero by his name,, Bakugou letting Kaminari live after calling him ‘Bakugou no Kacchan-kun’,,, the team up to take down Mummy, ‘Kirishima is the only person Bakugou’s actually friends with’ WHERE?? 
Deku telling Katsuma ‘you can become a hero’! we’ve come full circle and it made me fucking CRY 
Also,, the way Katsuma wants to be strong hero who can beat up any villain??? and the way Mahoro is a protective person who was literally willing to give up her life for her baby brother??? ‘win to save and save to win’??? the fuckin PARALLELS ya’ll 
Bakugou and Midoriya are brothers don’t @ me I know I’m fucking right 
I didn’t entirely understand what Katsuma’s quirk actually IS??? ‘cell activation’ means fuck all lmao 
Todoroki’s FACE when Endeavour was hugging him, like literaly boi had almost frozen himself solid but he still somehow managed to look more disgruntled dealing with his dad 
IIDA REALLY GOT TO STEP UP!! he and Momo taking charge and delegating tasks?? Iida going in BY HIMSELF to distract Chimera? Iida using Torque Over??? IM SO PROUD :’)
Speaking of Chimera what the fuck even is his quirk? at first I just thought he had a mutant-type quirk then I was like ‘oh cool it’s actually a transformation-type’ then he started shooting his fucking mouTH BEAM and like isn’t that an emitter??? how the hell can he do all that with Just One Quirk 
Nine: ‘There can only be... one leader’ 
Shigaraki, disintegrating him: ‘Yeah and it’s me bitch’ 
the future king has arrived,,, 
In conclusion: platonic bkdk rights, dadmight is canon, I would die for Mahoro & Katsuma, go beyond plus ultra!

I just wanted to let you know that I just saw the tattoo artist/actor AU and I’m now following you. I need more of this content please and thank you. I’m excited for reveal if Dabi past/family whenever that happens. I’m also very curious about Dabi relationship with his siblings in this.
part 0 / part 1 / part 2 / part 3
I went ahead and wrote what I headcanon Natsuo and Touya/Dabi’s relationship would be like in this AU. Will definitely get to Fuyumi and Shouto, too! Just too sleepy rn...
It’s long, so I put it under the cut <3
Natsuo: As the second eldest Todoroki sibling, Natsuo is able to witness first-hand the rise and fall of Todoroki Touya. Growing up, Natsuo had initially been jealous of Touya. His older brother commanded all of their parents’ attention: Enji and Touya would be gone weeks at time, no doubt enjoying all the father-son activities Natsuo isn’t privy to. In the rare instances that Touya is home, their mom would dote on him - any request, big or small, would be granted. Mochi for lunch? Sure. Video games past curfew? Why not. 
Whenever Touya is home, he almost always locks himself in his bedroom, snapping at Natsuo to go away when he asks if he wants to play. Natsuo hears Touya crying a lot, through the door. Crybaby Touya is the nickname Natsuo secretly gives his older brother. It must be a hard life, being the favorite. 
Sometimes, though, Touya will agree to play with him. Natsuo learns very early on that Touya hates to play-pretend, so he makes sure to steer clear of those kinds of games. Touya likes quieter activities, like coloring and drawing. They play soccer sometimes, but they have to be secret about it because their dad doesn’t like it when they roughhouse. 
As they grow older, the chasm between them yawns wider. Touya, who’d always been reserved in comparison to Natsuo’s boundless energy, becomes even more withdrawn, snapping and snarling at everyone and everything. He picks fights with Natsuo about petty things, scoffing and making snide remarks. It’s like walking on eggshells being in the same room as Touya. He still cries a lot, usually when he’s arguing and his frustrated tears spill over. Natsuo starts calling him Crybaby Touya to his face, usually leading to the two of them scuffling on the ground until Fuyumi cries to their mom to break their fight up.
By the time they’re in Jr. High, it’d be a stretch to call their relationship “close”. Touya doesn’t go to school like Natsuo does; he has a private tutor because he’s special. Touya used to ask Natsuo about school a lot, what it’s like. Natsuo had told him about class, how he’s made so many friends, how nice his teacher was, the things he’s learned - he tells Touya everything and anything because despite it all, a part of him still likes having his older brother pay attention to him. It’s the only time they can interact without it dissolving into a fight. Touya always seems a little sadder after their conversations though. 
It’s around the time that Touya is entering high school that their relationship slips  like sand between his fingers. It’s like a flip has been switched and Touya actively tries to become the worst version of himself. Fuyumi is naive and Natsuo shields her from the worst of it, but he knows their older brother is hurdling full-throttle on a self-destructive path. 
It’s always Natsuo who finds Touya splayed out in the hallway, reeking of cheap booze and stale sweat. He shakes and mutters nonsense when Natsuo hefts him up, dragging him to the bathroom or bedroom with an arm slung across his shoulders. Depending on the damage, Natsuo may wipe him down with a cool washcloth to clean the worst of it, helps Touya strip into cleaner clothes if he’s coherent enough. 
He sees the baggies, the pricked skin of his inner elbow and legs and wonders why Touya? Touya has everything: dad’s attention, the looks, the fame. It’s the life many can only dream of. Why is he so set in ruining it? Natsuo tells himself This is the last time I’ll help him. Let Mom or Fuyumi find him next time. But everytime he hears the telltale sound of uncoordinated limbs trying and failing to sneak down the hall, Natsuo is up and halfway to his own bedroom door, bracing himself for what he’ll find when he opens it. 
Then, the Todoroki Touya Scandal hits. 
Suddenly, the media focuses on the Todoroki family. Micro-analyzing every little thing they do or say. Natsuo isn’t prepared for the onslaught of sudden attention from strangers and peers alike, bombarding him with questions he doesn’t know the answer to. He doesn’t know why Touya did that. He doesn’t know if it was consensual. He doesn’t know anything. Natsuo’s relatively private life is abruptly put on display and Natsuo has no idea how Touya has survived this long under all the pressure. The things Touya has said and done for years are starting to make more sense. 
After that, it’s like Touya takes this as explicit permission to dig himself an even deeper hole. With a force that surprises even Natsuo, Touya throws himself headfirst into scandal after scandal. The tabloids begin running out of witty one-liners for their headlines - that’s how much Touya’s destructive behavior becomes the norm. It’s like he’s trying to prove something but Natsuo doesn’t understand it, can’t even begin to try. 
And just as the scandals reach their peak, Touya vanishes. Natsuo has no idea where he’s gone and doesn’t have the first clue of where to look. Touya has always been an intensely private person but Natsuo comes to the startling realization that he doesn’t really know his brother at all.
Fuyumi holds onto the hope that Touya’s out there, living some happy, secret life. Natsuo is more pessimistic, but keeps his opinions to himself. He’d blame Touya at first, for leaving. But with their father at home more now, focusing on Shouto and grooming him to become a better version of Touya, Natsuo knows the only one to blame for Touya’s demise is Todoroki Enji. 
So for about five years, there’s absolute radio silence. Then out of the blue, Touya calls him. A simple: “Sup, little brother.” And Natsuo promptly hangs up, thinking it’s a sick joke. Fuyumi calls him later, crying, and says that she and Touya talked. That he’s changed a lot and Natsuo should call him. 
Natsuo does not call him. He texts him instead, tells Touya how fucked up it was that he up and left with no warning, how hurt Fuyumi was, how scared and confused Shouto had become, and how heart-broken it left mom. Out of all the Todoroki siblings, Natsuo has the hardest time forgiving Touya. Mostly because he had thought he knew Touya the most, only to have the truth blindside him. 
The problem is this: Natsuo is stubborn and hard-headed, just like their old man. When Touya reaches out, Natsuo is quick to shut it down, not trusting that Touya won’t disappear again. He doesn’t think he can forgive Touya so easily like Fuyumi, or Shouto who doesn’t really remember Touya much at all. 
The second problem is this: Touya wants to mend his relationship with his siblings so much that the task seems almost insurmountable. When Natsuo pushes him away, Touya (well, Dabi now), accepts it, doesn’t think he’s worth forgiving anyway. It’s actually Hawks who points out that it’s because Dabi loves and cares so much that he can’t bring himself to bridge that gap, to push harder for the result he wants. 
It takes a long time for them to build a relationship again, but once they overcome the hurdle of actually talking, they start to repair their relationship as brothers.  Natsuo is probably the most skeptical when he hears that Dabi-Touya is dating Hawks, of all people. For a guy who hated the acting industry so much to leave it behind, it’s ironic that he’s dating one of the most well-known A-Listers right now. But, when he meets Hawks, it’s hard not to like the guy. The guy’s the polar opposite of Dabi which is hilarious. Hawks is chatty and genuinely kind; he really wins brownie points with Natsuo when he offers to give Shouto a ride to & from school when Fuyumi can’t. 
It’s through Hawks that Natsuo sees Dabi has become truly comfortable with who he is, and can finally forgive Touya for leaving them all those years ago.

One thing I really enjoy about the dabihawks dynamic I write with @waxwingedhawks is how much of the conflict in the relationship just... comes from within the characters themselves. And it's not for petty reasons like making one party out to be a deliberate asshole or like, evil, it just stems from both people reacting to each other in very genuine but totally dysfunctional ways informed by trauma and abuse. So much of it is like, bad habits and bad coping mechanisms and misunderstandings.
Dabi is harsh and defensive and critical, and refuses to acknowledge his feelings because vulnerability never worked in his favor as a child. Hawks wants to be vulnerable and shed his impersonal mask because in no other way can he be himself. And both of their specific interactions with vulnerability just flies over the other’s head and Dabi thinks the kind of emotionality Hawks displays is manipulative, while Hawks just unloads all his baggage on Dabi because that’s the one person he can do that with. It’s messy!
And that’s just one example but it illustrates that rapprochement in their relationship involves not just the obvious struggle of their differing ethics, but needing to address and grow beyond some very clearly dysfunctional habits. They are two people who grew up under very traumatic circumstances, and it shows not only in sad and wistful and self-harming ways, but also in how they treat other people. Often in ways that are very unfair and hurtful!
Their relationship does not happen absent of the tribulations of their respective traumas. Part of having them get together is also having them learn how to be in a relationship, which necessitates that they learn and understand their partner and change their own dysfunctional behaviors. And it’s a struggle and probably will continue well into the establishment of a romantic relationship, but it’s also very fulfilling and humanizing to write. None of them are fucking things up because they have bad intentions or are bad people (in this particular respect lol), they’re just employing whatever methods they’ve always used to survive. But that doesn’t mean they don’t need to change and grow, and in the end it will be all the better for the both of them, as people and as romantic partners.
