Been itching to post this! HD Prints and variants plus
An Ambush Simulation Sequel. Minor trigger warning for self-deprecating PTSD references.
Legend has it Mr. Compress still can't find his way out of the woods. But give him credit for calling for help even though he knew Dabi was probably gonna be an ass about it.
Aizawa was my favorite part of drawing this one. Dabi may not be a villain in this AU, but he’s still an exhausting person to deal with, and the job seems to have been once again delegated to the usual crazy person wrangler.
"Kid, who hurt you? Give me a name."
...
If you missed Part 1 of Ambush Simulation and are confused about the orange fire instead of the blue, Dabi has gone and turned the temp down for the purposes of not being identified.
The relative humidity and the soil moisture are both factors that affect forest fires. Happy, hydrated plants don't burn easily.
There is also a method to the madness behind the forest fire aside from scare tactic. After UA’s summer camp, the Wild, Wild Pussycats are planning on hosting a class on forest restoration after wildfires for people with plant-based Quirks. So they were planning on burning part of the forest down anyway.
...
Aizawa: So…your brother——
Shouto: What I can tell you is he has no fear, no sense, and no restraint, but otherwise my oldest brother is an enigma my family has given up on trying to understand, and it’s probably best if the rest of the world follows our lead.
Drawing this was a must. We've all seen his biceps, after all.
If he can't have a dog...
Also, yes, these are translations from the official Furby wiki 😅

(This is an old artwork I did in 2022 that I updated a little bit. In the old fanart her eyes were blue LOL)
It needed to be said. That outfit was hideous.
Imagine Tomura and Dabi swap bodies and the whole time Dabi is like “Why is everything so hard to do? I just decayed my fucking phone.” while Tomura is like “This body is in constant pain and I can’t even cry about it.” and then once they get switched back they both have a silent respect for each other.
“Touya-nii” just kill me omfg
A panel of happy Hawks followed by an utterly destroyed Spinner breaks my heart Twice would be turning in his grave by now
Tomura: “I feel like it’s been too long since we’ve had a meeting about what is and isn’t appropriate during missions.”
Dabi: “Did we ever?”
Tomura: “No. Anyway, asking Kurogiri to warp you to Wendy’s mid-fight is not appropriate. I won’t name any names.”
Twice and Toga standing there with Wendy’s fries and nuggets.
Dabi: “But it’s okay when you do it?”
Tomura, also standing there with Wendy’s fries and nuggets: “I waited until after the fight. Speaking of which, Dabi, it’s also not appropriate to stop mid-fight and take photos of me being attacked.”
Dabi: “I wasn’t taking photos.”
Dabi, pulling out his phone: “It’s a video.”
Video showing Tomura being flung around.
Tomura: “… I hate you.”
Toga: “Send me that.”
Twice: “Me too.”
Tomura: “No. Delete it.”
Dabi: “Sure, but a 10-hour loop of it was already uploaded online.”
Tomura: “God dammit.”
Dabi: “It was me.”
Tomura: “I KNOW IT WAS YOU.”

Shigaraki will literally break your fuckin pussy and guess what? I'll still sit there and take it break it daddy
Touya and his impatient foot tapping is EVERYTHING I needed today
The park flashback/scene where Tenko plays with Mikkun and Tomo-chan in Chapter 418 first takes place in early afternoon, as evidenced by the clock reading almost 2:00 PM.
The art in the scene confirms this: clear bright skies, and the shadows under the children are short.
However, the time in the scene changes after Mikkun and Tomo-chan tells Tenko he should be All Might (the moment Tenko decides he wants to be a Hero, as he tells his mom in Chapter 235). Suddenly it's evening: the clock shows 6:13 PM, and the sky darkening because it's nearing sunset.
When Shigaraki/Tenko thinks of the League, he and the League (and Deku) all have long shadows, the kind you see when the sun is low in the sky.

The context:
Sunset is the time to go home. Children who have been playing outside, in playgrounds, at the park, are supposed to go home, to get back in time for dinner, back to their families.
In Japan, many cities and towns have a bell/chime/song that plays from public loudspeakers at around 5:00 PM. It's a daily test of an emergency broadcast system, but it has also come to be seen as the evening bell, a 'go home' signal, especially for children, telling them to go home before it gets dark.
In manga and anime, all these elements have become common imagery and symbolism, associated with each other: red-orangey colors, sunset, long shadows, the chime, children saying goodbye to their playmates for the day, the idea of home and return.
(from Mushishi)

Putting it all together:
When the park scene first shows up, it's Tenko memory of playing with Mikkun and Tomo-chan, likely exactly how it had occurred in real life: it's early afternoon, the sun is shining bright, their shadows are short, they're at the park, they're playing Heroes, and when the kids tell Tenko that he should be All Might, Tenko is overjoyed.
But this isn't the scene 15-16 years ago; this is a memory. Tenko is also Shigaraki here. He has just had his core pried open by Deku, and given relief. The Crying Child has been symbolically saved, but the past, the massacre, the Walk still all happened.
So it's suddenly 6:13 PM, it's sunset now, because it's way past proper time (5:00 PM) to go home - because Shigaraki/Tenko can't go home to the Shimura house. It's too late. It's been long over.
Shigaraki/Tenko then looks away from Mikkun and Tomo-chan, to the side, and say, 'Nah' to their suggestion, because besides it being late, he also no longer wants to be All Might. He's deciding he's a Villain, he still holds malice and he still destroys.
So, the scene changes again to contains the League now, all six of them (plus Deku). They exist in this sunset time, hence their long shadows. They exist with current Shigaraki/Tenko, they exist in the now - and arguably, they would be the home he would return to at sunset.
-
Up to interpretation, of course, but the sunset/going home context is real.
Japanese tweets about it (translated):
[When Tenko got the words he wanted, his eyes lit up, but it was past time to go home so I'm guessing that means "it's too late."]
[It is just heartening that the League members are the place where Tomura would return to when it was "time to go home." I'm sobbing]
[In the scene where Tenko is at the park, the clock is already past 6:00 PM, the time when good kids go home, so if he had met Deku a little earlier, Deku might have been able to stop him, but this seems to show that they're past that stage now, which is good.]
Yes i know he is out there to kill but I CAN LITERALLY SEE THE EXCITED LITTLE TOUYA IN HERE DONT TALK TO ME
tomura :D
Remember when the anime blessed us with a POV shot from between Tomura's legs?
Because I will never fucking forget. 🥵
I still think about these two panels so so so so much … he really said "I’ve connected the dots" … he really put two and two together and figured out that "Re Destro = money = sushi for my homies" I love him so very dearly ❤️
Endeavor has been trying to take Pro Hero (Retrograde) Tenko's ID picture for about 3 hours now. Tenko has insane timing to ruin everything as usual.
