Work Text:
It all happened on a warm, sunny and objectively quite perfect day.
And by all, what we really mean is that a particular blog went viral on the social media platform Y.
-
Y was a platform used by millions of people all across the world. It was the singular most looked to platform for information on heroes and the like. Sometimes, and only sometimes, did heroes manage to avoid their PR teams and post by themselves. But by god when they did, it was glorious.
But this story isn’t about any heroes managing to dodge their quite objectively horrible PR teams, oh no.
This story is about how a personal blog run by an (alleged) villain gained so much traction that it almost broke the platform.
This is the story of how Dabi, formerly known as Toya Todoroki (though that wasn’t knowledge anyone but he himself had), broke the internet.
-
Dabi didn’t think of himself as unreasonable when it came to using social media. He just posted what he felt like, and if someone wanted to interact with his half sleep deprived thoughts, they could go right on ahead.
But what he never did expect was for his sheer presence and Endeavour hating competency to break what was previously the unbreakable and unshakeable internet.
He was wrong.

I still can’t understand how Endeavour hasn’t lost his hero license. His public property damage is astoundingly high and does anyone actually look forward to seeing him ”save the day”? I imagine not. He should have his license revoked and then beat up with a dishwasher.And then maybe burnt to a crisp. I rest my case, I can’t stand that bitch.

Should we be concerned??? This sounds like something that only a villain would say?? Are you sure you aren’t going to maim our near and dear Number 1 hero, our Endeavour?? I advice you against it boo…

That recent fight that Endeavour took part in made me cry laugh out loud. I couldn’t contain it, he was so fucking hilarious in his stupidity. Number 1, yeah right. He didn’t even have enough sense to avoid that attack sent by that glass bending villain. I hope Endeavour dies a painful death at my hands and suffers greatly while I burn hima live and laugh in is face. Then when he’s been buried, I’ll dance on his grave and cackle like the madman I am.

Well this seems awfully like a violent fantasy. Mayhaps the mods should delete this, to me it seems like it’s encouraging violence. (And fair warning, even though I am not Hawks, I have contacts with his agency in Fukuoka.)

I really really hope that Endeavour drops dead some day in the future. (Perhaps a handsome wanted villain will help the people to get what they want?)

The information given to us by this post and all the posts before on this account give us a rough idea on the personality and also identity of the poster. If what I have gathered in my analysis is right, this account is most likely run by the wanted villain Dabi, who is as mysterious as his name suggests. This allows me to draw the conclusion that Dabi is very mentally unstable and has a personal grudge or vendetta against Endeavour.

Hey man, it’s nice you (maybe) figured this out, but it’s more wise to not talk about something like this on the internet. You should be careful, just in case your right and he decides to come after you.

You’re right! I’ll delete my comment and try not to interact with this account anymore. Thank you for looking out for a stranger!

These were some selected posts made by the user @D_4B11_. These interactions all happened before the personal blog went viral, but after it did, all of these previous posts were also called into question as suspicious.
It seemed almost too clear to all that this account was run by either a villain or a villain sympathicer, but what could the police do? They couldn’t arrest someone because of a gut feeling, and the IP address of the account only led them to a shady internet cafe.
But regardless of what the police thought or wanted, the post Y user @D_4B11_ made on the 31.7.2XXX wasn’t deleted, no matter how hard they tried. It always popped up again and again as screenshots and HeroTube videos and the like.
But without further ado, here is the post that threw the former ”hero child” poster boy Toya Todoroki’s opinions into the limelight.

The day I meet Endeavour again, I’m attacking him with a chainsaw I set on fire. Then, when he’s screaming and crying because I cut his arm off with a blue flaming chainsaw, I’ll force him to swallow it and then reveal the secret I’ve kept inside myself for eleven years. Let’s see how he likes it..[PRESS TO VIEW MORE]

Hey buddy, this seems really concerning. Maybe you should contact a therapist or something? (Or read The Meta Liberation War novel, I don’t really care.)

We have graciously been given a screenshot taken by a dedicated viewer that showcases this horrific post. If you are squeamish, we at Japan Daily suggest that you don’t read the following screenshot.

As you can see from this post, the original poster is aggressive and violent in their fantasy about maiming our N.1 hero. This is a horrific attack on Endeavour personally, and I’m sure we all wish him well in this hard time.
The public reaction has been an outcry for this accounts ban from the platform Y, and not without good reason, since the police, as well as many Y users, have a strong suspicion that this account’s owner is the violent and dangerous villain Dabi of all people! This is terrible as it easily…[BUY OUR SUBSCRIPTION TO VIEW MORE OF THIS ARTICLE]

Class 1-A had never been quiet, but this time they were even less so. Shota felt like hitting his head on his desk to avoid asking them what the problem was, but he knew that would be avoiding his problems, he he sighed and asked in a tired voice.
”What are you talking about?”
His class shut up very quickly and they all turned to face him, their faces blank and a little calculating. Shota felt a slight shiver run up his spine, and he schooled his face into one of blankness.
Uraraka whispered into Midoriya’s ear, likely saying something that Shota would regret not stopping sooner. Jirou joined in, and soon half the class seemed to be pressuring Midoriya to raise his hand, while the other half looked on expectantly.
Midoriya raised his hand.
Shota called on him, not expecting anything good to come out of his mouth, at least not according to the expectant gazes of his twenty students.
He wasn’t wrong.
”Aizawa-sensei, is it true that that Y user who went viral yesterday is the villain Dabi?”
Shota sighed and prepared himself for a very long conversation about internet safety with his horrible, really terrible students.
He just hope he didn’t need to update the student-teacher interaction handbook.
Oh who was he kidding?
He already needed to do that.

Dabi had just gotten back from his rumba class. He had really needed to charge his phone, but that had had to wait for after his dance class, since bribing and threatening the instructor to still hold the class with an A-ranked villain in it was hard enough without having to worry about phone batteries for fuck’s sake.
Dabi sighed minutely as he finally plugged his phone into the charger that had been left sitting out in the charging port god knew how long. Toga never took the charger out.
Dabi sighed again, a little more annoyed this time, and waited for his phone to charge a few precent before forcing it open.
He had thousand of notifications.
What in the ever loving fuck had happened????
Dabi opens his phone with a speed he didn’t know he possessed, and looked at the notifications he had from that damned app Y with a slack open jaw and bulging eyes.
Dabi grit his teeth tightly as he tried to compose himself and keep looking at the bright and annoying phone screen.
He was just stating his opinion!? Actually, it was the truth, but either way, he wasn’t trying to defame Endeavour for nothing. So why on Gods green earth, why had it caused a national crisis about his burner account on his burner phone of all things??
Dabi threw his phone across the dingy and dirty room before burying his face in his hands, his cheeks burning with embarrassment and humiliation. Dabi needed to calm down before he burst into flames because of the tingle of irritation flashing on his burnt and crispy skin. It hurt to think, and it hurt to imagine what even caused this explosion (let’s call it what it is) of publicity to be slammed into his life.
He just wanted to kill Endeavour and Shouto in peace, was that too much to ask for??? Apparently so, since half of fucking HeroTube was talking about his Y posts.
Of course this would happen to him, Dabi thought bitterly. Fate just couldn't let him plot his future fratricide and patricide in peace.
Really, all Dabi wanted was a single second of peace in which to plot Endeavours imminent demise, but noooooooo, the whole of Japan had to latch onto his every single word??
Dabi needed a long fucking nap.
