Hi so spoilers for chapter 290 of MHA but I just had to come on here and address something that i've seen a little bit if so far and it's been nagging me, this is my first post like this so just bare with me.
(Also when I refer to Touya as Touya I mean the child that was abused by enji and part of who he is now. When I refer to him as Dabi im refering to JUST the villain side of him):
Touya.is.not.selfish.for.choosing.to.expose.his.abuser!
I could end it there but I have more I need to say:
Im not talking about dabi being a villain now. Im talking about Touya Todoroki, not dabi. Touya wanting to expose his abuser for the piece of shit that he is isn't wrong, all the members of the Todoroki family have reacted differently to Enjis abuse and Touya wanting to expose him is also a direct reaction to his trauma and is by itself completely valid. Im not saying him hurting people is okay but I am saying that him wanting to tear down his abuser is.
I've seen people say "Him choosing to expose Enji is so selfish because what about the rest of his family?" How people think when dealing with a current or past abuser isn't always logical, for him he is dealing with years worth of past pain and trauma, he's grown from it in the sense that he can say "yea fuck you enji I don't need you" but he also hasn't in the sense that he's never gotten a real chance to heal both emotionally and mentally, he's fixated on his past pain which is not uncommon for people who GREW UP in an abusive situation with no professional help, so for him to see the very man who abused not only him but his family get to slide under the radar and essentially walk away from what he's done must be incredibly angering/hurtful for him and rightfully so. Him calling Enji out will definitely have an effect on how each of the Todoroki's deal with the topic of Enjis abuse and we KNOW that (because mind you they may not all be against it, it'll be hard to cope with because now the public knows but we can't assume that ALL of them won't be somewhat okay with this new development, im thinking maybe natsuo but I could be wrong) but as I said before Touya wanting to bring his abuser/father to some form of justice in this way is not un heard of and it's not out of line either, he has the right to feel what he feels. Not all abuse survivors heal by simply forgiving their abusers, sometimes that hurts them more. A lot of yall seem to be to be forgetting that Touya spent YEARS forgiving endeavor while he was still with the family. You can not validate one victims feelings on their abuse while in the same breath condemning another, that's not how that works. Im not saying that all responses are healthy (like todoroki blaming himself and shutting people out) or that they are morally correct (like Touya becoming Dabi) but what I am saying this that all responses to individual trauma are very real and very valid, so my point is that while yes this puts his family in a tight spot now Touya is NOT inherently selfish for having this kind of response towards Enji and as I said before not all responses when dealing with trauma/abusers are "logical" and Touya/Dabi is clearly not completely sound in the mental department right now. And speaking of Dabi, I'm not saying him being abused gives him the alright to hurt others because it DOESN'T, being hurt/abused doesnt give you the right to hurt/abuse others. Im simply saying that Touya isn't wrong about how he's chosen to confront his abuser and his past traumas in this specific situation, (if there even is a "wrong" way to do that) him exposing Enji doesn't make him an asshole, it doesn't make him evil (im not talking about him being dabi right now), it just makes him someone who has chosen to confront his abuser in this way.
This is getting long and if you happen to read this and want me to address anything else send an ask and I will but for now im tired and will stop. Good day to you all

The old ones at the end I didn't have time to redraw today, but I might tomorrow!
I know exactly what fic you’re talking about lmao you’re right and you should say it.
luke and vader spend the original trilogy, but especially ROTJ, more or less reading each other’s minds every other second, which really fascinates me because the level of psychic ability demonstrated between the two of them is not something we see with any of the other characters. obi-wan and anakin certainly don’t speak into each other’s minds at all throughout the PT, but within minutes of luke knowing the truth, we get the beautiful, son, come with me, and father? scene. when arriving at endor, luke and vader sense each other the length of several ships away, and both of them immediately know that the other is there, and then the entire gestalt of their duel before the emperor is that luke refuses to kill vader because he has magically sensed the good in his father, the “good” being that luke knows, through literal mind-reading, that vader absolutely will not kill him, and wouldn’t have killed him on bespin either. the “don’t make me destroy you” was a bluff.
luke uses vader’s hilariously un-buried feelings about him (smash cut to palpatine saying to vader, “are you sure your feelings on this matter are clear?”) to manipulate him in much the same way vader uses luke’s hilariously un-buried feelings about his friends in ESB, and then leia again in ROTJ, and can i just say, for as much shit as we give vader for being kind of a terrible manipulator, he knows exactly what he’s doing by the duel in ROTJ. he pushes luke closer to the dark side than the emperor manages - by threatening leia, vader unlocks luke’s batshit temper, and luke literally beats him into submission and slices off his hand before luke realizes what he’s almost done. but vader reads luke’s affection for leia, and the truth that leia is his biological daughter, directly out of luke’s brain. no one could read the direct truth out of someone else’s brain like this in the prequels, or else the plot would be literally impossible - the closest we get is maybe yoda sensing anakin’s grief for his mother in AOTC, but that’s nonspecific. this is vader and luke plucking pertinent feelings literally out of each other’s heads. they’re so weird <3
