hawkeye hawks <3

It’s like burning…

Hit the man quota time for lesbians

i think hawks only felt like a child whenever he'd feel powerless against his father's rage i think he couldn't wait to grow up i think it's crazy that horikoshi confirmed that 22yo hawks tries to grow a beard to appear older

Sth sth Takamis and overly empty spaces as a trauma response

Sth sth feeling safe in places that would look jarringly barren to a normal person, because such places are so radically different from Hawks's childhood home

Sth sth Hawks pretending that the past is in the past and he's over it but having such clear signs of overcorrection

do you ever think about how Hawks had the biggest failure in the manga? Like if the core theme is that people who are left of society need others to reach out to them and that if people genuinely try to understand others there can be a connection, essentially the character and narrative who completely failed this theme is Keigo and Jin. Keigo failed Jin. Like, Keigo's even been the mouthpiece for this theme of connectedness in the manga and bringing people together (his comments when Deku was brought in), several times over, and I keep thinking of how it will look when Shigaraki is saved and reached out to by Deku, how this will look when Touya is finally home with his family, when Himiko gets to have a normal night with Ochako and just be a normal girl. Keigo's just going to have to live with the very apparent realization that the kids succeeded where he failed and that Jin's blood is on his hands needlessly. He'll look at the kids and the villains they saved and look around himself and realize he could have had that, too, if only he'd tried to connect. Hawks has always been a really tragic character, and I know from the start we were into this idea of a boy thrown into tragic circumstances with no freedom out of them, but I think there's something to be said that the biggest failure in this manga, and likely of his life, was due to his own actions and buying into his own narrative of never having another choice.

Can we talk about how the shadow looks like Hawks is behind bars, and the crack on the wall behind him looks kind of like Twice's head, complete with an eye crying????

My hero might be over but my original fiction continues! Please consider reading Gold Rush, an adventure novel hunting down pre-Columbian gold and traveling across Brazil.
