#dad dabi

oh hi hello yes yes, please ignore the fact that it's taken me 6 months to get to you I am very sorry, I was NOT feeling the best these past few months but I've got my spirit back, but I do like this ask and do not have the heart to delate it so...

TW: Canon typical violence probs, I mean it's Dabi he's a warning of his own, I'll try and keep it fluffy, a little swearing, platonic x reader!

and without further a-do

it's dabi!

I actually touched on his very, very lightly in endeavour's intro/headcanons

(and I also do plan on adding this as an event in my Dad! Dabi series, so excuse me if I'm being vague I don't want to give you spoilers to those who don't want it)

I quote "reader is 4 and gets her quirk in the story. her quirk is a heightened version of shoto’s quirk which I’ll expand on if this is the fan favorite."

And since clearly, it IS a fan favorite I'll expand.

Essenially, reader's quirk allows her to control the temperature of nearly everything around her, not limited to freezing water (ice) or super heating fire (Dabi's blue flames)

say, she could increase the body temp of her foe to cause a heat wave

or chill the air so that heat related quirk's (for example bakugou's explosions) would make less an impact.

I haven't worked out the details too much, I'd be open to hearing your guy's thoughts on all this.

but for the sake of staying on topic, let's say it starts with a regular old red flame popping out of nowhere one day,

Dabi would immediately lose his shit.

I'm not kidding, his first reaction is to panic, his second is to try and calm you down.

holds you and hugs you as if it's the end of the world

even if you're not upset, he'll act as if you're dying!

and since I can't tell you all too many details.

Instead, I'll tell you his thoughts.

"fuck, fuck! she'll burn herself! we need to get quirk cancellers, or something! oh God, it's over. it's over, she's gonna want to be a hero, then- then she'll get a boyfriend won't she- and then she's gonna DIE"

he's a little delusional, but nevertheless, lovingly delusional.

He tells you it's not good to use your quirk, that it's dangerous, and if you do "I'm going to be very sad, you don't want me sad do you?"

at some point, he'll tell you that the reason he's all purple stapled, is because a hero burned him with their fire, and that's why he hates heros and hates fire, even his own quirk.

he says that's the reason he never uses his quirk, and why you shouldn't either.

essenially gaslighting you into thinking that is power you have can only be used for evil purposes.

of course however that can all change if you meet the rest of your family....

Yes, Dabi’s wallet is filled to brim with photos of you opening Christmas gifts and your stocking.

Yes, this is how I’m coping with the LOV being the League of Gravestones now.

(i also require your thoughts on what his reaction would be if said s/o asked for another baby at some point, whether while theyre fucking or just as a conversation they have together at some point during the day)

Hey nonny,

Sorry that I am answering this so late. So we all know that Touya loves his family. After waking from his 3 year coma his first thoughts were of his family.

Dabi—he's different on the outside. He's hurt, he's in a lot of emotional pain and anger. We all know that.

So, at first he's gonna be giving you a hard time when you tell him you're pregnant. But he's not a jerk so he's gonna support you however he can, steal some good food for you or diapers.

But when the nurses hand him the baby in the delivery room after you gave birth?

Hes gonna be a goner.

Totally quiet he stands there, eyes wide with wonder at this little naked miracle. Not able to believe that it's something he created. That he created Life.

Brilliant blue eyes looking up at him while the little pudgy hand closes around his thumb and that's when a tiny drop of blood will find its way down Dabi's cheek.

He'll be the most supportive dad. Not ever wanting to let go of the little baby, even hesitant to give it to you when it's hungry and ready to be breastfed.

And when you ask him if he would ever be ready for another one? He'll be on you within a second, baby all fed and sleeping, dragging you off into the bedroom to put another baby inside of you.

Cause finally he has the family that he has always dreamt of. The family that is there for him and loves him the way he is. With all his scarring and faults, his tempers and emotional trauma.

He wont be perfect—no one is. But he will try his hardest to be the best dad and father for his kids.

And the best supportive partner for you.

- free shiny things/trinkets cuz he definitely has a magpie mode

-he's probably good at detangling and braiding hair since he's gotta take care of his feathers daily

Cons of bird mode:

-ya know how eventually birds just push their young out of the nest to see if they can fly????

Step Dad Hawks is so annoying because he's casually using all the bird analogy here and there, but when he's in heat, it's 100 times worse because now he's all hormonal and his bird instincts are in override and he thinks that you're in danger and could be attacked by any other hormonal person who wanna put babies in you. And Hawks can't have his baby having babies, so he's violently shoving you to the bed- or "nest" as Keigo calls it.

Your once clean and pristine bed (because mama Hawks be dusting and cleaning whenever she can- wearing a whole checked apron to complete the fit... and the vibes), is now covered with twigs and leaves and Keigo's merch(that he keeps a personal stash at home). He forces you to go and change into his smelly ass hoodie before he changes you himself, and when you return, he carries you to bed and cuddles you, which is really just him scenting you all over (to make the "predators" know you're taken). His eyes are going to be wide open and he'll be on high alert for danger, and as tempting as it is, you should not pick your phone now to call for help. Not unless you want Keigo to shriek and throw your phone against the wall, before further shoving you into his chest and cooing soft words to comfort you- even though he's he's one panicking around.

You eventually fall asleep and wait for Dad Dabi to come home, or you wait for Hawks to go to the kitchen to make you some food and that's your chance to sneakily make a call to Dad Dabi, telling him to get home before Hawks forces down worms and maggots down your throat.

When Dabi comes home, he walks in to see his daughter covered in red feathers and being hogged by Hawks who's acting even more clingier than Rei.

Dabi has to drag Hawks off you, who wants to both jump Dabi's bones but also keep an eye on you because what if you get hurt when he's not looking?

Dabi manages to convince him that you'll be alright in your room and once Hawks goes inside his room, that's when Dabi nods at you to leave. Outside, Uncle Natsuo is waiting, who laughs at your pissed expression and how you were covered in feathers.

skjdfajksd I was thinking about this my whole drive home (because I got another ask regarding this topic too), and I just want to say... YES!!!!!!!

Dabi’s daughter is a Todoroki household PRIDE AND JOY, perfect in every single way as a near perfect replica of good ol’ grandpa Enji... 

The “sad” part though? She’s also Dabi’s... which means that any possibility of her training to become a hero was doomed from the start. 

Dabi isn’t protective, not by any means at all. But still, there are certain measures he is willing to take if it means keeping his children out of Endeavor’s hands... no matter how hard you’re begged to put her in hero courses. 

If there’s one thing Dabi dislikes, though... it’s Endeavor’s influence and his monetary power, which is why there are so few qualms when he manages to placate his father by allowing him to pay for her extracurriculars instead 

While yes, he’d still move heaven and earth if it meant keeping his daughter’s flames from turning blue... that doesn’t mean she can’t use all that natural talent for singing, piano, horse riding, and ballet. That she can’t make her family proud in ways that don’t involve training with Endeavor 5-7 days a week. 

...which is also exactly why you end up with a mean girl for a daughter instead of a hero.

They have a Yandere brother Dabi Headcanon and at the end they said Dabi as a dad would be worse and I couldn’t wait to see that so i made this https://i-cant-sing.tumblr.com/post/650810751920013312/this-isnt-a-request-just-an-errant-thought-but

reader is half black!

female pronouns!

everyone go follow @i-cant-sing NEOW because without them i have no ideas

Yandere Dad Dabi

Let’s get one thing out of the way, he would NEVER hurt you

He knows the pain of growing up abused by your father too well

Instead he would threaten you and kill your friends

When he found out he got some broad knocked up he couldn’t believe it

His first thought was to just be a deadbeat and never meet you

But when your mom found him again and put his hand on her warm stomach and he felt you kick

He

Fell

In

LOVE!

he couldn’t believe he had essentially cloned another version of himself

it only got better when he learned you were a girl

now he knows he must protect his darling from boys/girls AND villains

when you were born he didn’t even let her hold you before wrapping you off and whisking you away from her

In fact, he realized all he wanted was you

So there was no uses for your pesky mother

He locked her up in an abandoned building and sent 10 nomu’s in to play

Needless to say, she passed away

Now that he had you to himself he could sit there and adorn your face for hours

He loved the way your few hairs were already curled tightly

The way your e/c eyes would follow his without hesitation

He swore everytime your little hand grabbed his he was gonna die from cuteness overload

As a kid he always would ruffle your hair and act like he didn’t care what you did

“Whatever kid, I got my own stuff to deal with.”

But everytime you even got near the front door he would pop up behind you to question your departure

Let’s say when you got older you were embarrassed and ashamed of your skin and hair since it wasn’t like everyone else’s

If he even caught you touching the flat iron he would throw a fit and go on a rant

“Your hair is fine the way it is! So what you don’t look like all those losers?”

Especially on special occasions

He would act like he didn’t care to learn your culture but it was far from it

He was the first one to teach you about black history month

Despite, living in japan he made you celebrate all month by flying you to America (where your mother was from) and Africa (the motherland)

He can be sweet but deadly

When he finds he have a boyfriend/girlfriend he’s…jealous

Not because he see’s you in a sexual light in the slightest but because he’s afraid that they’ll take you away from him

He always told you no dating but you’re 16 now and all your friends had dated before

You thought you were ready

You thought 𝗵𝗲 was ready

But Dabi proved very against it when turned your boyfriend/girlfriend into ash right in front of you

Then he yelled at you

“HOW STUPID ARE YOU?! YOU DONT NEED ANY OTHER MAN OR PERSON BUT ME!”

When you finally notices your tears he calms down immediately and stops his flames

“I-I didn’t mean to kill him. But you have to understand he would’ve taken you away from me. And you don’t want that right? Do you wanna leave Daddy?”

He would question you with glossy eyes to add to your guilt

Not only did you get your s/o killed but you also hurt your dad

Just like expected you would shake your head and run to hug him as tight as possible

Repeating ‘i’m so sorry. i’m so sorry’

He would hug you back as tight with s smug grin on his face

Now the only time you got to cut slack was when Uncle Natsuo picked you up

When you were with him he’d cover and say you stayed with him all night when you were really with friends

Auntie Fuyumi loved treating you like her personal doll

She would brush your hair, dress you up and just talk to you all day long

At first, you thought your Uncle Shoto didn’t like you

Maybe even hated you

He always held a stern cold look and when he held you as a baby it was almost robotic

Same with hugs

But keywords: at first

Once Natsuo told him you thought he didn’t like you he completely changed

He started smiling at you and only you

He would buy you everything, even things your dad wouldn’t

You like makeup? Well here you go he just bought everything in stock at Morphe

Why?

Because Shoto refused to be feared by the one thing that glued his family back together

When Dabi finally told them about you it was the 𝗱𝗮𝘆 of your birth

This was the first time in years they were all together and no one was yelling or fighting

Rei cried tears of joy

Enji tried to pretend he wasn’t interested but when you tried to wrap your hand around his finger and it didn’t fit

He swore his heart grew

Shoto was looking in shock that his brother was a dad now and he was an uncle

Natsuo was confused but happy

And Fuyumi kept asking if it was a prank

Somehow you kept ending up in Enji’s arm though

To everyone’s surprise Enji and Rei were whole new people to you

Enji would let you run around while he chased you with an undeniable smile

Rei wouldn’t flinch from Enji when he came over holding you

Even as you got older Enji always tried to outdo everyone to keep his spot secured as your favorite

But don’t get it twisted

They all are just as protective of you as Dabi

Don’t think you can have any secrets because….
