hawks bringing cigarettes to meeting so he can take smoke breaks with dabert
A DabiHawks fancomic by TheGreatAnso
CW : violence, blood / bruises
This is a comic based on the lyrics of the song Race, by Alex G. You can listen to the song while reading it, headphones are recommended since it’s weird garage music, if you want to hear all the lyrics. Some panels are just redraws of (beautiful) canon panels from the manga.
crazyyyy how hawks grows his pathetic facial hair to appear older because he craves pseudo-parental approval and being a good, useful guy, meanwhile dabi was already so messed by his father that the nation's biggest groomer failed at grooming him. at the end of the day we need to beat endeavor with hammers because he is the locus of their messed up attachment anxieties

Everyone looked at their trauma in the eye except Hawks. I'm going to be sad if no character changes are addressed.
I'm still thinking that Hawks' endgame will be tied to saving Toga one way or another - as something he knew Jin would have wanted to do.
Like to me, this scene looks like Hawks tried to offer himself as a "sacrifice" to see if that calms down Toga/Twice feelings of wanting revenge.
But in the end, it wasn't revenge that Toga needed, but acceptance. Ochako could accept her as a person, but she's only a student. Arguably, Hawks as No 2 hero, and influential person in the HPSC could do something about Toga having a place to live in the world.
I don't think Hori put this panel here for nothing - Hawks' ending I think will have to do everything with what happens to villains. He's tied to this theme both through his birth as a marginalized child, his experience of how a symbol doesn't reach those peripheral parts of society, but then also his friendship with Jin, with seeing close the bonds of the villains, as well as his ties to the Todoroki family.
Hawks is part of the main cast - Hori is tying up all kinds of side characters. I'm certainly expecting Hawks to get a conclusion.
im so bummed we didnt get more of hawks and tokoyami in nyc in world heroes mission i think abt it all the time
ok hear me out; Keigo personally funds a gravestone for Jin after the war that he visits and maintains it as often as his schedule permits
he goes through periods of guilt where he feels like he doesn't deserve to face him and mourn like that so he won't visit for a while, but he always comes back with a pack of cigarettes and fresh flowers after not too long
(he also helps Ochako fund a gravestone for Himiko and they put it right next to Jin's)
congrats on the fatherhood, dabi <3
