DABI ~ confessions

summary: you ask dabi why he never says those three words back.

cw: toxic relationship vibes, but still kinda cute. dabi opening up in his dabi way.

a/n: bee aren’t you on a writing hiatus? -no comment, also first time i’ve ever written for him and i know his stuff is prob a dead side of tumblr but when in rome.

tagging: @i-literally-cant-with-this (i almost forgot)

“how come you never say it back?” you ask dabi, adjusting your position against him on the couch. this particular question had been on your mind for awhile. whether or not he loved you back. it was something that twisted in your gut like a knife each night that passed. his stark blue gaze flicked away from the television, finding your eyes momentarily before flicking back to the TV.

dabi’s lips twisted slightly, forming a semblance of a frown, one that made his eyes seem even colder and more distant than usual. the faint glow from the television cast unsettling shadows across his scarred face, emphasizing the harsh lines of his expression. “say what back?” he retorted.

you felt your heart beat painfully against your chest. “that you love me,” you whispered.

a low grunt escaped him as he pushes himself up to a sitting position, forcing you off his lap and creating a small distance between you. dabi’s voice drops low, his steely gaze finally settling back on you, sharp and piercing. “love doesn’t really suit me now does it?”

your heart sank at his words, but you couldn’t let it go. “okay…so you don’t love me?” your voice was rising, a mix of frustration and sadness weaving through your words.

dabi looks away again, his jaw clenched tightly. for a moment, there's a flash of vulnerability in his eyes before it disappears behind his mask of indifference. “it’s complicated," he finally says, his voice gruff.

you felt the sting of tears, trying to will them away but failing. “what does than even mean…i’m your girlfriend.”

his silence hung heavily between you, the air charged with the unspoken. he sighed, a sound heavy and filled with something that could almost be mistaken for regret. "can you just drop this and watch tv? i’m fucking tired.”

you wipe away a tear. "no dabi…you know i put up with a lot from you? for one you’re an asshole and like you’re not always nice to me. plus you use my body however you please. but despite that i love you…so i just deal with it.” you begin, the tears now rolling down your cheeks unchecked. “i just want to make you happy. and now you’re telling me you don’t love me? what’s the point?”

"fuck, " dabi cut in, his tone sharper than he intended. he saw the hurt flash across your face and it stirred something inside him. you were right, you do put up with a lot from him. always finding ways to justify his behavior, excuse his cruelty. “don’t cry i hate that shit. i’m not good with feelings and all that.” he runs a hand through his messy hair. the tv light flashes bright, casting a glow across his face illuminating his scars. “it’s not like i don’t care about you.”

“but you don’t love me? i guess i just don’t see why you’re still with me if you don’t.”

there’s a long silence as he struggles internally with the weight of the conversation. “well i am with you aren’t i? who else would put up with me?”

“oh so it’s out of convenience than? that’s real nice dabi jeeze.”

he glares at you for a second, almost like he’s insulted by the insinuation. “no. it’s not out of convenience okay! jesus christ, you’re impossible. can you just drop this please?”

“if that’s the case than why can’t you say it back?” your voice comes out exasperated, shaking and choked. laced with tears and sorrow.

frustrated beyond measure dabi’s blue eyes reflect a mix of anger and turmoil. like there’s two sides desperately clawing away at each other inside him. finally he explodes. "fuck…if you're really that desperate for meaningless words then fine…fine, I LOVE YOU, YOU STUPID IDIOT!" he screamed, his voice cracking under the intensity of his own emotions. the room fell silent, save for the faint hum of the tv in the background. he was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling fast as he continues yelling. “i love you so much it’s fucking infuriating. why do you think i get so mad all the god damn time when guys look at you? why do you think i push back all the time? cause i’m fucking scared. i’m scared you’ll realize what a piece of shit I am and leave me. i fucking love you y/n. of course i do. fuck…are you seriously that dense that you don’t see that?”

the second those words left his mouth, there was a palpable shift in the air. the room suddenly seemed colder, and you could barely believe what you had just heard. you stare back at him in disbelief, unable to form words.

watching you struggle for a response he snorts, shaking his head. a low gritty laugh, utterly emotionless, escapes him. “of course you don’t see it you fucking moron, too busy whining and being a pain in the ass all the time.”

a feeling of relief bubbles inside you, mixed with annoyance at his utter lack of tact and disbelief at his confession. the swirling of emotions comes out of you in a laugh, one that lasts a fraction of a second too long. “how can you be such an asshole while saying something like you just said?” you continue to laugh, wiping the tears from your cheeks.

he rolls his eyes. “just because i said love you doesn’t mean ill suddenly change you moron.” he says, though the hardness in his tone has softened. he shifts uncomfortably, almost as if unsure how to handle the vulnerability he just displayed.

you smile, leaning in to kiss his cheek before settling back on his lap. he scoffs slightly but his arm wraps around you as you both settle back into your prior position. despite himself, dabi finds some comfort in having you close. there’s some peace that bubbles deep within him whenever he’s got your body pressed against his.

you look up at him, tracing the scar along his cheek. “well, i love you a lot…and i wouldn’t leave you by the way, so there’s no reason to be scared.”

“whatever,” he mutters dismissively. “just shut up and watch tv.” he shifts on the couch grabbing the remote and turning the volume up, but not before he leans down to place a small chaste kiss against your forehead.

[survivalove]

can i just say defacing aka editing art of any ship to make it your fave is weird? especially if it’s from a ship you hate? it’s funny cuz i don’t think this is an unpopular opinion and yet…

there are still people who do this and people who encourage those that do

and no official canon art is not an exception?? you respect fan artists more than the artists that created your favorite piece of media? do you even know the names of the artists you’re disrespecting?

like i’m just not understanding how some people can be so disrespectful AND unoriginal at the same time? pick a struggle…..

#respect artists #even if you don’t like their ship #don’t go putting your favorite character over someone else’s work #like what is wrong with you #don’t ask me for tea or nothing cuz i don’t got it #i’m just not understanding why this is still a thing in 2024 #especially when the media in question is like 20 years old #you guys have had plenty of time to make your own art pls….. #and i’m gonna tag #kataang #kataangtag #not because this is a fandom problem #but i just want ka shippers to…. not do that? #i don’t know any ka artist on here who does…. #but just in case

It’s the year of our lord 2023, and people are still acting as if a small, grossly insinuated single paragraph in f&b translates to rhaenicent’s story somehow being taken from laenyra (or whatever it’s called) and given to Alicent and Rhaenyra.

We can all agree to the notion that Laena, all of the black girls/women on the show really, got the short end of the stick. No need to dispute or argue that because it’s just a fact. So, don’t take this as me saying I didn’t want more laena. But the idea that Laena’s story would’ve been more fleshed out as the ‘third’ in a throuple with her first cousin and old ass second cousin is hilarious to me. As if the character development would come through her being in a relationship with the people that marry immediately after she tragically dies. Not seeing her claim vhagar, not finding out how she, grown up with two daughters of her own now, really felt about her parents pimping her out when she was 12, no real scenes between her and laenor as adults. Hell, not even just her and Rhaenyra as adults, since this is apparently about wlw representation that was ‘taken from them’. But her relationship with *checks notes* Rhaenyra and daemon.

Mind you, the people that say they care about laena and her lack of development are the same ones that were cheering about those leaks (which more than likely could’ve been fake knowing how much this fandom likes making shit for the sake of it) depicting daemon possibly cheating on laena with a man. Pushing aside the cheating/disrespecting his wife to call him a ‘bi icon’ lmao.

Oh and this isn’t even touching how people pretend to care about Baela and Rhaena. They are more worried about how that leads back to Daemon’s characterization than how those girls are surrounded by people who undermine their best interest at every turn

#you don’t like rhaenicent or see no use for it in the show? fine you are entitled to your own wrong opinion #but let’s not act like Rhaenyra and Alicent’s relationship (even if they went with the cliche shit in the book) #would not have been a big part of the show regardless #she’s Aegon’s MOTHER #she’s the QUEEN #the way I never see people talk about laena and Rhaenyra in earnest #the same way the people pretending to care were giggling and kicking their feet over what happened at LAENA’S funeral #I go back and forth on how I feel about that scene but one thing that stay is that it was nasty and disrespectful to her memory #anti daemyra #anti daemon targaryen #I don’t know how else to tag this #I don’t think this is negative towards Rhaenyra bc she was also groomed #but #anti rhaenyra targaryen #just in case #anti laenyra #I guess

AND ANOTHER THING ☝🏾

something about the way that “colorful teachers” comment/moment happened and then babs looked at the camera like that and then ava looked at her like that.. idk i feel like that should be added to the ava is queer column 🤷🏾‍♀️

#they had a moment and I won’t be told otherwise #Barbara knows ava is queer but they haven’t talked about it on camera yet? #is this thing on are y’all seeing what I’m seeing here #basically this show is gay as hell and I mean what else could we expect from Quinta people be gay Brunson #we love to see it #also like I don’t think it’s a secret per se I just think ava is private about her real life #abbott elementary #Abbott Elementary spoilers #again not really a spoiler but ima tag it just in case #okay now I really do need to go do my actual job lol #im just sayinggg it was quick but it was there #ae s3

Spoilers for Alan Wake/Control games and DLCs: one of the things I really like in Alan Wake 2 is the confirmation that, no, Alan can’t create something out of nothing. There were implications in-story that supported that, but it was good to have that be a big part in the sequel. The AWE control dlc easily made it seem like Alan himself had a role in the events of the game and the formation of the FBC, and, personally, seeing it through that lens cheapened a lot of the game and Jesse’s story. Instead, having his writing influence the Hiss and try to manipulate (even out of desperation) Jesse/the FBC to end Hartman and get help, fit right into plot and conflicts of Alan Wake 2, with Alan being sympathetic, but also an asshole for trying to change and control people’s lives in his writing.

#since the awe dlc dropped I was slightly worried that it was going the meta route of Alan writing everything in control #but since Alan wake 2 I’ve been. thank god that wasn’t the case 😭 #this way makes everything more complicated and mysterious. which I appreciate. makes everything creepier #will say. it’s still wild how much Alan can influence the narrative. #light spoilers for the final draft but—> makes me think of the writers room video where he doesn’t know what he’ll be at the spirals end #like I don’t think he’ll be Evil or anything. but it’s unnerving #might delete #Alan Wake 2 my beloved #so many times in that game it could’ve gone a direction that would’ve lessened or soured the story but somehow it didn’t lmao #more game spoilers but for ex: Alice coming back at the end instead of leaving it with her demise in the documentary #when I first saw that it was devastating. but also wasn’t sure what to feel if that’s how she’s gone from the story #having her actually manipulate her photos. become art to make Alan think she died. go to the dark place and help him and saga #that last video left me Speechless it was so good. #esp after how much I disliked Control (spoilers here) for quickly ending with Dylan in a coma and not much else. #could not be happier with how the AW2 ending played out and the clear love for all its characters #REALLY hope that Control 2 ends in a good or interesting place. give dylan some focus! #not tagging this bc I’m just yelling my thoughts. but knowing tumblr it will somehow be seen on every tag 😵‍💫

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight

#it simply does not compute #like don’t get me wrong im into tragedy and well written character deaths ALWAYS get me #but idk i just thought neji was a poor choice if you HAD to kill one of the konoha twelve off #not that i WANTED any of them to die but i do think someone else would have been a better option #or killing off more than one would have balanced it better #and then it was also just how it was crammed between all the other big events so we had to rush past it #shout out to the fillers always knowing naruto deaths aren’t striking hard enough and giving the dead characters more significance lol #can always tell someone is about to die when the fillers start giving them all the meaningful moments rip #idk though even the folllow up grieving and references just didn’t add enough #plus how it kind of just contradicted the main goal of the series idk #i just don’t like it so my brain is just like what death??? #probably would stick better if i ever rewatched post war or if i watched boruto though #but i dont so i continue to relive the ‘wtf why :/‘ every time i remember it lol #naruto shippuden spoilers #naruto spoilers #????? #does anyone need that tag??? #idk i added it in case

ya’ll be like: show Daisy is too much angrier than book Daisy, show Daisy is too weak/dependent compared to book Daisy, I don’t like that show Daisy thinks she’s better than Billy and challenges his decisions with confidence it makes her look too arrogant, show Daisy’s lines are too corny, she’s too much of a manic pixie dream girl, she’s boring compared to book Daisy, her character development is ruined because she said she didn’t regret a good day she had with her terrible spit marriage husband even though he was terrible (like it’s a bad thing to look back on your past actions and forgive yourself/not blame yourself for how things went???), her character development is ruined because Billy saved her after she ODed and I’m going to pretend I’m mad at this because I want her character to have agency and not shipping reasons (but then at the beginning of next ep they gave you the scene where she kicks Nicky out after realizing he left her to die just like in the book so argument completely moot I giggled), she’s too shameless about the emotional affair I could respect her in the book because she fought her feelings but in the show she’s too flirty with the man the story revolves around her having an intense emotional affair with and should be crucified for it, she isn’t doing enough substances or being chaotic enough, while complaining about how her addition is/isn’t portrayed I’m going to actively ignore how her being an addict is a part of her character writing in the show and effects her actions/how she responds to things because I’d rather just make fun of and have no sympathy for her, they made her too mean and messy, they softened her character too much and she’s not chaotic enough, I hate that they focused more on her parental issues and trauma because her character isn’t about that (which could be fair ig but what do You think it should be about instead?), she’s unprofessional, she’s way too good at everything too fast and succeeds too much, also I hate that the show is focused on her so much over other characters when she’s the mc of the story which is named after her, oh and she’s a pick me girl because of a funny little comment she made while she was high and a mess to the point of injuring herself without noticing while really really depressed and heartbroken.

Ya’ll: but the writers are misogynists who didn’t write her as a complex character and that’s the issue!

#s speaks #like don’t you see your arguments about this are really contradictory as well as everything else #daisy jones #djats #like at a certain point it’s not the writers misogyny that I think is the biggest issue #(and in case anyone comes for me I have critiques of misogynistic choices with female chars on this show just check my Karen tag trust me #I’m not Not critical. But ya’ll are ridiculous!) #addiction mention tw #self injury mention tw #daisy jones and the six #like really i want to know what you liked about her in the book if this is how you feel #also there’s literally a line in the book when older Daisy says that back when this all happened she was selfish/mostly thinking about #herself and her own feelings and heartbreak. That line that’s like heartbreak and addiction are two things that make you so self centered #she was always being portrayed with those flaws just older Daisy in the book could reflect with hindsight and maturity #Daisy in the show does not have yet. #I’m not even going to touch people hating how Riley plays her those people are just plain wrong and stupid

Little mini psa for hermit ao3ers! The tag “impulse - character” syns to “Bart Allen” (dc character who’s superhero name is Impulse) so you might want to tag him as ImpulseSV or some variation!

#it’s not like an overly disruptive issue in the Bart Allen tag it’s just something I’ve just noticed #and I understand that the official impulse tag has rpf on it and that may be offputting I’m just Saying #impulseSV #Hermitcraft #fanfic #I don’t know what else to tag lol #just in case anyone wants to be sure their fic will be found when someone is searching for fic #mcyt

Well, also no, this is ‘The Fowl Twins’-era, so Artemis is in his mid-to-late 20s at this point, Minerva married and had a kid with an elf, also becoming a crime boss, after briefly dating Artemis (it didn’t work out), Beckett married a ghost, and Myles sort of has superpowers. The idea of a being considering Artemis and Holly as parental figures is just funny — the discussion is mainly drawn out of how technically she meets the definition of offspring, the idea that Artemis wouldn’t realise until afterward being incredibly in-character for him, even if not the focus of the main plot (that being more things like a random immortal man, an evil nun, and a regular little person impersonating a fantasy dwarf for years).

. . . Okay.

Artemis, regardless of whether this is Fowl Twins-era or not, was still a child when he met Holly and was such for the vast majority of his ‘screen time’. Holly has always been an adult, knew him through his child and teen years, and thus shouldn’t really be shipped with him, because it’s an adult with a child that they knew as a child for the majority of that time. Like a former adult babysitter trying to hook up with someone they babysat when they were little once they become 18. Like… despite it not being an A/H thing, are you defending A/H to me now? I’ve expressed countless times that I don’t like it either way and that’s not what this discussion is about.

(Anon, the way you are explaining this to me makes it out as if I’ve never read TFT or it’s sequels- I’m aware of where everyone else ended up, and have spoken about it before. Do you know like… anything about my blog?)

I don’t care if NANNI ‘technically meets the definition of offspring’- I reiterate, by that logic she’s not ‘Artemis and Holly’s child’, but the child of like… four people. Seriously, the emphasis on A/H specifically makes it look shippy. If that’s the case, then just admit it, or at least acknowledge how it looks. I don’t give a flying flip whether or not you ship it, but it looks that way to everyone else, regardless of initial intent.

At the root of this, breaking it down entirely, I don’t think an A/H ‘parenting’ dynamic is funny. It’s weird. Therefore, the joke, while slightly amusing once, is no longer funny, the sheer volume of asks regarding it is weird (especially towards artists), and the whole thing is just… odd. Really odd.

#just because this series is ridiculous doesn’t mean that it’s fans have to be- come on now. #i don’t know how long you keep on planning for this to go my friend like ive said what I said and I mean it lol. the joke isn’t funny and #- any scraps of amusement are dead and gone by now. #now you’re trying to justify A/H to me or something? dude I don’t care I don’t like it I think the ship is gross and weird. if that is an #- issue for you or anyone else like… pls leave. I’ve said multiple times I don’t want A/H shippers following me- that goes for people who #- are okay with it too… but something tells me you’re not a follower of mine at all. #asks #(for all my poor followers I’m gonna start tagging these ‘nanni chronicles’ so feel free to block that in case anymore come) #NANNI chronicles

Do you know about the (somewhat) new game that Hellbent games released? Video Horror Society?

Didn't really know why I thought to ask

If so, what's your thoughts on it?

I do not know..

I’m unsure... I looked at the trailer but I completely forgot about it until today.. I’ll go check it again.

Ok I checked.

I’m not unsure anymore, it’s really creative, it adds to the 70’s 80’s-90’s vibe... (I had to check with my parents first to make sure i got the dates right.)

But I’m way too hyper fixated on the wick fandom to properly look into it.. so...

Hey I’m just really curious if this is a common experience with executive dysfunction or not because I can’t find anybody talking about this

(Putting it under the read more in case people don’t want to see me talking about my executive dysfunction and the pain(?) that comes with it lol)

I’m talking about that moment when you know you have to do something, and your brain is doing the typical Executive Dysfunction thing of making it impossible, but you push through it like a brick wall and try to do it anyway

Does anybody else get physical pain and a floaty/dreaming feeling that comes with doing that?

Because for me it manifests as a compressed sort of feeling in my chest (not anxiety) along with this restless ache crawling up my spine that I can only describe as the feeling you get when you need to stretch or yawn, except nothing relieves it except for lying down and napping. It sort of feels twitchy if that makes sense?

Then if I push through that, everything feels all floaty and dream-like and just… weird I guess is the only word to describe it. Off. And I can’t think. Like brain fog turned up to eleven

And I have no idea what that is or if anybody else experiences that, but I’m really curious because I have never seen another person talk about this, nor have I seen any papers about this, nor have I seen this mentioned or alluded to really anywhere

#executive dysfunction #it’s not really a vent but just in case. for blacklisting reasons #very much not my normal type of post but this has been on my mind and I need to know I’m not alone in this experience #surely someone else with executive dysfunction has felt this right?? #I need to know #ask to tag #seriously I have no idea what to tag this with and I don’t want to upset anyone #it’s not a vent cuz I’m not really upset just curious but if it should be tagged as that for blacklisting let me know please #/gen

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims) 

#tumblr #tumblr tips #tumblr tags #tumblr search #tumblr how to #new to tumblr #why did I pick croissants as the example? who knows! #but I'm a pro at finding things on people's blogs especially my own #takes me like 4 seconds to find Exactly The Post I'm Looking For no matter how long ago I reblogged it
