Heal
🕑 Added 2022-12-14 21:49:54 +0000 UTCApologies for the Touya angst from the other day, here's some grandpa Enji and Todofam soul searching to make it up to you 🙏
This references another sketch comic I drew in July (Link to that post here!), with Enji being a grandpa to disgruntled Natsuo's litter of kids.
Now, I am a SUCKER for tropes like this, just the drama and tragedy of a hurting family and the complexities of healing, I don't know why but I slurp that shit up. And I really crave for narratives that would discuss the Todoroki kids coming to terms with Enji's atonement and the contrast of past and present, I justkjjhgfkjds I am. SOFT.
(Hawks better not fuck around and find out, Natsuo doesn't want his kids having aunts or uncles younger than them!! He has a medical degree and he's not afraid to use it, ethics be damned 😂)
[ Enji, Hawks, Endhawks, Shouto Todoroki, Natsuo ]

Tautröpfchen
Aww thats kinda beautiful how Enji is healing
doon 🪬
natsuo is so real
Nomad
So now we need to see Natsuo's reaction if Hawks absolutely doesn't abide by his threat
Ashyscribbles
Enji squeezed into the tiny tent is so precious 🥺 Also Natsuo doesn't play around, Hawks gotta be happy with his step sons and daughter XD Also love my boy Shoto being blunt and rational about things as always

I have to say, this is one of my favorite pieces to date. I love all the work you do, and the story telling you put into them. This one hit different, and I love it.

HIS LITTLE SMILING FACE IN THE BABY TENT IS KILLING ME Also, this of course is adorable, I just want to tell you this is adorable, oh my God it's really adorable, I love how confused and happy Enji looks the whole time+ And I love the commentary on healing 🥺
Nia
Ok listen I adored the angst but just— this is so lovely. I always think the dynamic between Hawks & the todo brothers is really interesting since they’re such different perspectives, & I love what Shouto said about Enji healing. He can’t magically take back being a POS father but. He can try to atone & grow. Would absolutely love more scenes like this!! 🥰 aaaand the bird baby fever comment was so fucking funny 😂😂😂 & yet… low key want hawks to fuck around & find out 😏
MagpieCrime Fancy
Djsjhdhd it would be too too funny if he was already eggnant and like, knew and Enji shows up with the Eggie strapped to him ala daddy penguin because he warm
Sunshine
I remember that one!! You should absolutely draw her again!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Swiftkill
Haha I bet he has!! oh I need to re read that! but I'd love to see more of her!
Pete
Shouto used Sudden Emotional Intelligence. It’s super effective 😂🙏💕
Pete
I’m so happy to hear this resonated in such a positive way, thank you so much💕 And I agree, their family dynamic has so much potential for complex narratives for trauma and healing, I always love to see it explored 🥹
Pete
The tears are sourced from a different wholeseller from the brain 😂 Thank you! 🙏
Pete
AAAAAAA🙈😳 I haven’t written any fic, I just- pull fancy words out of my butt for comics 😂 It’d be awonderful skill to hone though! 🙏🥰
Pete
🎯 Thank you 💕
Pete
oh that’s the face of a man who’s already going through it! 😂
Pete
Thank you so much! It makes me feel so warm to hear this, because both are things I get great enjoyment from drawing 💕
Pete
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUtooo oo oo… o..😭
Pete
🥰
Pete
Thank you!!! And yeah that might be inevitable now… 😂
Pete
It really does! There’s potential for so many good stories in that dynamic 🥹
Pete
FOR REal yes absolutely, agreed 100% 👀
Pete
I have all the time in the world for this joke 😂😂
Pete
Thank you! 🥰🙏
Pete
Thank you so much! 😭 I have such a soft spot for Shouto who is usually so goddamn thickheaded but can suddenly pull out moments of high level emotional intelligence out of his ass 😂
Pete
He issss! Fertile ground for EMOTIONS!
Pete
!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Pete
He’s in a happy place 😭
Pete
Thank you! 🥰 Natsuo is just so done lmao, he has seen how Keigo looks at Enji and has already a compiled a list of reason for ”Why You Should Not” 😂 and oooh I had a design sketch for a enho kid in the ”what’s in the box boy PDF, actualy! I should bring her back 🥹
Pete
lmao all the basic food groups 😂😂😂
Pete
Emotionnssss!!!!😭🙏
Pete
omg yes I was laughing the whole time drawing that 😂
Pete
For real, Enji is such a delicious source for emotional narrative when it comes to all that 😭 AND I DO, I actually had a little sketch page of it in that ”what’s in the box boy?” PDF! I should maybe draw her again tho 👀
Pete
oh fuck that’d be so funny tho……….. Too late, Natsuo……… agh, navigating fandom when you like a hated character is such a pain 😩 But we have our international Middle Aged Shit Dad enjoyers support group to drown out the noise! AND YES I love drawing the family resemblance!! Especially with Natsuo and Shouto since they’d be so annoyed by that fact lmao
Pete
HIS SMILE, KEVA—— 😭 Thank you!💕
Pete
🥰
Pete
💕🙏 Thank you!
Pete
Thank you! 🥰
Pete
hehehehe Thank you!! And YES NATSUO IS SO DONE already in advance lmao 😂
Pete
!!!! This comment makes me emotional??? Because like- Enji has become such a source of emotion to me and I sometimes think I can’t possibly ever truly convey that level but hearing that some of it still bleeds through like that—- 😭💕 Thank you so much
Pete
AAAhhhhh well I hope it’s a different kind of sad 😭🙏 Like a hopeful kind!
Pete
Thank you 💕 and well… I guess that means I’m gonna have to apologise for my apology? 😂
Pete
There’s so much potential for that with them! 😭💕
Pete
Thank you! 💕
Pete
Angst crimes paid back 😂🙏 Thank you!
Pete
🥰
Pete

🥹🤲❤️!!!
Toasty
Wow... Shoto is amazing for having such a mature perspective on the situation. He does love his dad. My heart goes out to the family.
queerchisme
One of the reasons I adore the source material is because of how nuanced and relatable the Todorokis grieve/cope with generational trauma. As someone with a father like Enji who’s trying to have kids, I felt this on such a visceral level and loved every second of it. Thanks as always for the great art, Pete
Haha Hala
A whole different set of tears for this one. The emotions, so raw and beautiful.💛😭 Seeing Enji smiling especially!
Parker
God you’re so GOOD AT THIS what the FUCK . Do you write???? I need to read whatever a Pete fic is I’m . How do you get me crying and laughing in like five pages
Maggie
Yep, right in the feels 🥹 I really like your Enji 💕
Jessica V
Hawks face at the end is definitely one that he’s thought about it
Rue
This is absolutely amazing, and why I love your work SO much. Porn too, obviously, but you're a fantastic writer too. You seem to get the characters and can illustrate their expressions so well. <3

MagpieCrime Fancy
Baby bird fever would be great though hfjdjsjjs
Leo

Robin
You’ve got me getting all misty (in a good way) at grandpa Enji. He really is trying. And that last panel XD Hawks’ eyes always get me
SpaceNip
Pete you are making me cry with these comics 😭😭 Enji looking so happy and silly with his grandkids, Shout being the voice of wisdom and looking so somber and handsome too AAAAAA
Gamer Candy

Swiftkill

I also love Natsuo threatening to castrate Enji lmao, least his medical degree comes in handy for threats agaisnt the bird man's hind brain haha would love to see any idea in enji/keigo babies though! (one day my fingers will keep up with my brain so I don't have to rewrite stuff ><)
maggiekarp

Thiriously
Awww Peeete!!! T.T
Riley
enji in the tiny tent is killing me XD I love this....
Dunes
SECONDING THIS….👀👀👀
Sunshine
This is SO CUTE and it genuinely makes me so happy to see someone showing Enji growing and learning. The idea of him getting to heal at some point makes my chest hurt and my eyes water. 😭 On the note of Bird Baby Fever, do you have any Endhawks children designs? C:
Madeline Hunter
He's threatening to do it to his dad, of predictable biology, and not mutant-quirk Keigo.
Nekowhatsit
little do they know Hawks is already pregnant (lmao) Seriously, though, this is beautiful in so many ways! It's been extra frustrating lately because I've been seeing a lot of hate in my peripherals in the fandom and having others put my love for this old man so truthfully and so eloquently just makes me emotional. Also I will never not laugh at how well you draw Natsu and Shoto looking exactly like their damn dad. Shoto's expression in the last page just sent me, haha
Liltkeva
Pete!!!! Enji's smile...MY HEART...IM USING IT AS WALLPAPER
Jamish
Ah my doul
FillyBoy

Zackary

Mina
Maaaann, you know Pete I was telling my friend about your work and we discussed how Earnest your love for Enji’s character is, and how it really bleeds through your work - I think this is one of those comics that Especially shows that. I love love love this, it’s so bittersweet and warm and makes me especially emo. Thank you for sharing, how lucky we are to be able to indulge in your care for this character!!!!!!!!
