Happy Father's Day

God, I love him. Having a sense of humor (even as a defense mechanism - I'm sure he thought they came to tell him off)

In pinterest I found a photo with kids sailor dresses and thought about Todoroki children.

this is actually like redraw of my old fanart from 2021, when I had just started watching the anime (haven't read the manga) when I drew them. So I didn't know their age gap, that touya in this age allready had white hair and of course didn't know about their height difference

tell me then, how will it be, me without you?

Keigo is perched on Mr. Endeavor’s shoulders as they walk in. His little wings are flapping happily behind him, taking in all the sights and smells and sounds. He can smell meat cooking, the sound of it sizzling on an open grill. “—it’s cause you’re a girl,” Touya is huffing at Fuyumi, who just blinks at him. They’ve been bickering for awhile. This morning the three of them had been playing outside, until Touya had found a nest of ladybugs in one of the trees. Touya had immediately found it fascinating, while Fuyumi had found it gross. “They’re bugs!” Fuyumi frowns. “They’re gross for everyone, you’re just weird!” “You’re stupid!” “Yeah, well Keigo thinks they’re gross too!” Fuyumi huffs, which makes Keigo’s eyes immediately widen. “What! No he doesn’t!” Touya huffs. He and Fuyumi both glance up at Keigo. “Right Keigo?” Keigo’s wings flutter. He feels his cheeks warm and his eyes widen. He opens his mouth to be doomed either way between betraying Fuyumi or Touya (because really they were kinda gross, they were everywhere and made a lot of noise) when he gasps as he sees a server bring out a delicious smelling meal that has big round fluffy circles and strips of different kinds of brown meat. “Mr. Endeavor, look!” Keigo says, his wings flapping as if to try to get higher up to see more. Mr. Endeavor puts his big hands on Keigo’s legs to make sure he doesn’t actually fly off his shoulders, considering Keigo can’t really hold his own weight in the air yet. “That’s a Western style breakfast,” Mr. Endeavor says. “Pancakes and bacon, I believe. You can order some, if you want to try it.” And Fuyumi and Touya are thoroughly distracted now and forget about the ladybugs. So it’s a win in Keigo’s book.

Do you mind talking a bit about Enji and Rei? To me they have one of the most interesting relationships in the series, but discussions around them never really go anywhere. Pls I'm starving 😭

You'd have to be specific about what you want me to talk about lmao, there's a lot to be said.

I think their relationship is so tragic, because they could 100% work. "Right person, wrong circumstance".

In the right circumstance, Rei cools Enji's fire, and Enji builds her self-confidence. They balance each other nicely, like in My Father's Warmth.

But in the canon series, they're both so awkward, emotionally weak and have some many flaws that they're doomed to crash. With my interpretation, they both saw each other as a means to an end (especially at the start), Enji was enabled, and Rei was so cold. It's really interesting, because they WERE happy before Touya’s Quirk started hurting him, and Fuyumi is trying to put the broken pieces together. Both Rei and Enji neglected their kids (in the books, Natsuo mentions disliking Shoto because he took away their mother, and wanting Enji's attention), they blamed each other instead of working together before Touya's "death". Fuyumi replicated her mother's behaviour of "smiling through it without confronting the issue" and Natsuo replicated Enji's, "anger and running away", while Touya is the extreme of both (mutual destruction), and Shoto is the good of both that they have (which despite what the fandom claims, there's a lot of good in both).

They're both broken victims of the same society that the LoV wants to destroy, all the while being part of the problem (Bystander effect, a huge theme of the series). Generational trauma and all that (Enji with his father, Rei with the Himura)

They are so wonderfully nuanced and complex but ofc nobody is willing to talk about it because nuance is scawy.

I could go on, if there's something specific you want me to talk about, ask me!! :]

For the Endeavor stans 😔👊🏼

Enji's soft expression, the joy on Touya's face...we should all blow up

commission for @certainaestheticfictionmuffin love drawing todofam interactions 🤧🤧💗

While I don't like forming super specific theories on what will happen in this series, I personally suspect Shoto and the Todofam in general are ultimately not going to get a bleak ending. I just think that after the story showed what it looks like when a dysfunctional family DOESN'T love the especially troubled oldest kid and are willing to wash their hands of them completely as with Toga's family, I can't see the Todorokis getting a 'realistic' gloomy ending when it's already happened with so many other characters in similar situations. ESPECIALLY after what Shoto and Rei were willing to do.

(plus, this seems more obvious to me after the Todofam Cuddle Pile Of Primal Devotion, and how this type of thing never happened with the other screwed up nuclear families in this manga. Exceptional narrative actions tend to create exceptional narrative outcomes).

Happy birthday, Touya
