The League Of Villians Is The Forbidden Child Protective Services
Shigiraki be like: You abandon a child and I will disintegrate you right here right now.
Dabi be like: You beat a child and you're dead.
Toga be like: You oppress a child and I won't even drink your blood after killing you
Twice be like: And you better give a child emotional support or it's Sad Man's Parade!
And you know Spinner, Kuroguri, and Mr. Compress gonna be backing them up.

BNHA and villain decay
The major League of Villains is like the opposite of villain decay.
Deku starts mastering ofa, stops breaking every bone? Tomura starts being able to only use 2 fingers. Toga can now use quriks from people she transforms. Twice can multiply himself. Machia joins the team. Tomura gets Spinner to believe in him. They get the PL Army. Deku gets blackwhip, flow and starts to get danger sense? Tomura gets the power upgrade of the century with tons of quirks. Compress compromises himself if needs be. Dabi (with Skeptics help) detroys his father’s career, hawks image and hero society in one go and shows that he can do a prominence burn. A Re-Destro clone goes rampage and takes out chunks of a building. A ton of heros get killed, more get injured, some permanently. Spinner uses the power of friendship and family trauma to wake up AfO (not the plan, but got them out). They get an army of Nomus. AfO cracks all major prisons open to release the prisoners to do however they like. They saw the kids leveling up and decided to up them.
Also if you consider what Tomura does for his group alone he is very friendly. Especially if you think about the fact that AFO had his claws on him for most of his life and he was abused by his father before that and he never went completly inhumane.
Especially during Deika (after spending 1.5 months fighting Machia with the Lov) you can see that he is very human at core, something the hero society and the pro heros on top don’t see at all.
He actually cares for his group, wanting their needs to me met:
Like he just came out of a fight that left him with half of a hand and the first thing he thinks of is getting the Lov into a fincancially better situation and Compress his sushi (and Toga her new coat). And even during the fight he cares for Spinner, in contrast to someone like Overhaul who literally uses his own men like shields.
They are in the middle of a messy battle and Tomura is definitly sleep deprived since Machia only slept for 3 hours at a time, we saw him kill dozen people easily during the fight but he always stops his decay before it can reach Spinner, even if he isn’t in his direct line of sight and asks for his well-beeing.
He compliments Twice (who he never forced to try to clone himself and was never mean to him if things didn’t go as Tomura wanted) his friend for being able to finally make his own clones.
To think that someone who started out getting raised by a physical and psychological abusive father and both an enabling mother and grandparents that got taken in by a man who groomed him to become a weapon of mass destruction is still so kind and caring about his companions is incredible. None of that came completly from the outside, the outside worked against him becoming such a nice person given hatred over and over again but the more away he got from AFO the more we saw his human side and that he is actually deep down a good person, that just got abused to the point where he wants to destory everything. Well everything that isn’t what his allies want.
I think that what makes Shigaraki’s backstory so much worst than everyone else’s is the absolute lack of choice and consent.
He never had any choice at any points, he was used and manipulated from beginning to end. It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any responsibility or agency in the story, but he is the only villain who never CHOSE to become a villain in the first place. Dabi, Toga and everyone else made the choice to go against the law at some point but Shigaraki didn’t. And sure, we can speculate that he would have become a villain even without AFO, but the terrible truth is that we will never know, because he was trapped since the very beginning. And even now as he is finally starting to doubt AFO’s words and influence, he is physically and literally being possessed by him, the ultimate form violation and manipulation.
For me, this is the true horror, this is the true tragedy, and this why he is so much more compelling than everyone else.

So after an still ongoing discussing with @greenfablesstorytims about chapter 311 and the different translations that stated in this post I am still not sure who is actually refearing to whom in wich sentece. But this post still makes sense if you look at it from a different perspective from Hawks talking about the hatred that Tomura has -which he does but he also has so much love for the league.
Because this panel definitly in any translation refears to Tomura and not AFO:
RANDOM LOV INCORRECT QUOTES YAY
Hiiii! Welcome to "Me discovering that I can talk about my random thoughts on Psychology and MHA cause those two have been hyperfixations for years and Tumblr is the best place to talk like that"
"Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn" Part 2 : The League of Villains!
(You can't understand how happy I am to see that the first one really interested people!!)
So Touya/Dabi was already made in Part 1
1st, let's start with Toga. We know her past, she was seen as weird, a freak, disgusting by her own family (I heard she had siblings, so even as far as them). But during years, she faked being a "perfect little child" that listened and was calm and "normal". Her family confronted her behaviours and she was in a full Fawn mode. One day, her mask that she forced onto herself fell and all her repressed needs, who are in her D.N.A., came as they could. The need of blood made her attack someone. This feeling of finally being free (herself) brought her to the LOV and to find a family that accept her and her "abnormal" behaviour. She seems to actually only need that, a family, and when she can (like in the Yakuza mess), she'd rather Flight the conflict. However if her family is targeted (like with Magne and Twice), or when her family gives her orders to, she will Fight. Because she just wants to keep her found family.
2nd is Twice. Pretty much like Toga, he only needed a family. Due to his mental instability, his fears and his self-doubts, he could have been a Freeze and not react, be stucked while facing confrontation (kinda like what we can see even before with his old boss). Though he trusted his new family so much that he was, like Toga, either going for the Flight or the Fight depending of how much his family needed him. (Though a bit more of a Flight then Toga before season 6, still because of his insecurities and fears of fighting eating his confidence away).
3rd Mister Compress. We don't see much of him, we just know that thieves are normal and biological in his family. So I would say that confronted, Compress may prefer to go for the Flight. Fighting would be if an irrespectful act is commited but he wouldn't stay doing nothing, or wouldn't dirty himself for a random person.
4th, Spinner. We know he's a follower. He follow Stain blindly because he doesn't know what else to do, then Shigaraki because he becomes a good leader, and listens to Dabi because he sees him as superior. He doesn't really have his own way of thinking and weighting the good and the bad side of his decisions. His "primary leaders" being Fighters, he would immediatly Fight back too. Same as Toga and Twice for the found family part, if his family is threatened, he will Fight for them. But before the LOV he was definitely a Freeze. Lizard side or not, he seemed to be very "NPC"-like towards his life, so no much reaction to confrontation before he had a goal.
5th is Shigaraki himself. He's a Fight. Confrontation = Fight for him, he was raised that way. OFA raised him that way. He won't be a perfect silent person, he won't say nothing and stay still, he won't escape from the situation. He yearns for a new society, a new reign, he wants to see a country and the world crumbles. A full Fight made to be like that by OFA.
Bonus because he was asked!
Stain : Stain to me would respond by Fight or Flight. But while his Fight would be very direct (you confront him, he confronts back), his Flight would be controlled. He doesn't want to avoid a situation of confrontation because he is scared, how because that's how his mind instinctly answers, he just doesn't want to confronts and will leave instead. But this situation is pretty rare, it's the type of situation we can only see with All Might (because he is worthy enough to be a hero by Stain's psychology). Stain would, and that's what we can see with anyone else until now, only attack and kill because he sees the "unseriousness" of being a hero, the need for fame and not actual saving as a unique goal, as a threat to the job of being a hero.
I hope I didn't forget anyone.
Thanks to have been there for my little talk, if you have anything, professional or not to say or ask you can gladly interact I'l be very happy! ♡♡♡
