Soooo uhhhhh I did a whole thing...... Hehehehe. Thank you for the suggestion truly, this was a delight to draw. Hurt/comfort my beloved :3

(I was gonna draw Ryland's burn scars from when he had to carry Rocky back to his atmosphere in the book, but I forgot to do it after the first panel, oops. They are there in spirit, trust.)

I'm gonna put my rambling under the cut ↓

"There's just...so many of 'em," he whispers, voice breaking on the last syllable.

WIP / Alt Ver. Below

It’s been so long since I got to see a thing and think: wow yeah this could only happen on tumblr. This is one such thing and I had to contribute. Let Simon have a weird fucked up religious sorta relationship with Grace! This man has issues!! He’s never been off a space station!! The Hail Mary is literally as close as he could imagine as heaven!!!!!!

No text under the cut

Also, Liam Mairi was also very, very attractive to me. Much more so that Xaden.

I'm still thinking about it, but so far I would have gone for Liam, then Dain, then Xaden in book one.

Dain and Violet weren't very compatible as a couple but I still like Dain. I think people are being too harsh on him. He was just trying to look out for him chronically ill childhood friend/crush and didn't know the right way to go about the situation.

I’m somewhat late to the discussion on this, but I feel like the reason Endeavor’s atonement arc was such a hit for his fans and such a miss for his critics was because his atonement arc was almost entirely characterized by others coming to him, just so he could grow as a person.

It sounds pretty accusatory, but this aspect about how he went about his atonement has been bugging me ever since the war arc when all the Todoroki’s gathered in the hospital.

One of Endeavor’s first line of thoughts upon waking up wasn’t “where has Touya been all these years?” or “what exactly caused Touya to become a villain?” or even “why didn’t Touya come back home?” but instead a thought about how he, Endeavor, could not fight his mass murdering son.

And then, of course, the rest of the Todoroki’s gathering to assure him that he isn’t alone in this, and that Shouto is going to deal with Dabi himself. So now Endeavor does not have to confront Dabi at all.

Which is what my main problem with Endeavor is. While the baggage and abuse the Todoroki’s went through is explained, it’s never truly been addressed by Endeavor. It’s instead focused internally in him and how he feels (and how he perceives others to feel). Nothing about the neglect Natsuo or Fuyumi faced, the abuse Shouto/Rei went through, or the way Dabi was groomed into his hero idealism.

Even the point of view Endeavor takes on how he should fix/help his family is rather singled minded. Which is to say that all of the family lives together, excluding Endeavor. This works out for Natsuo, who wants that, but not for Fuyumi, who 100 percent wants all of her family to be together. You could even include Rei wanting her family to be together too.

It’s not surprising that he takes Natsuo’s (and somewhat of Shouto’s) viewpoints seriously, as though they are all rather conflicting, they are also similar in how all three of them are assertive, outspoken, and strong-minded (in Natsuo’s case, physically intimidating too). The wants of Fuyumi and Rei (even the idea of her) are left behind.

And then we get to the final war arc. Instead of fighting Dabi, trying to reach out to his son, Shouto is left to the task. There really is something about how Endeavor, who gave shape to a “failed creation” that is Touya, had Shouto, who is meant to be a perfected version of himself, deal with Dabi.

In the end, much like how Shouto decided in the beginning of the series to come to Endeavor to intern at his agency, Dabi was the one that had to come to Endeavor too, with the rest of the Todoroki family following, because Dabi knew Endeavor would not come (or even look!) to him. Once again, Endeavor did not reach out to his family but instead had to have his family reach out to him.
