Two spot images I drew for @prince-liest ‘s fic Hop, Hop, and Away! written for the @hopstepflyzine.
“I know, I know you’re…real, it’s just - my mind, the voice, no sane person would - and I just… why? Sometimes I can’t understand why you? Why me?”
The hero shifts himself, swinging his knees over the older man’s body to rest on his hips and look down upon his lover while cradling his head in his hands. The wings droop down further, as if to block the rest of the world from this sight.
“Because I like the person you are.” Keigo says. “I really like you. I like the way you care, the way you seem to want the best for people. The way you can see me, and it’s all… so genuine. You’re such a good man, Jin.”
- Taken from Chapter 6 of Irreversible, a canon-based Jinkei/Twicehawks fic. Read the latest update here.

see I kept telling people the reason I'm a Hawks Stan is because he is a never ending source of lulz and bat shit stuff happening that gets treated completely sanely. Man happens to be one of the most casually unhinged people in this manga and everyone just treats it as normal and he talked them into giving him, a traumatized 23 year old whose job experience was being a child soldier, a very high up decision making position in the government overseeing the rest of them. Oh, and he's just casually walking around with a katana now - not even his quirk and it's like he's daring someone to try something and they won't because his coldblooded assassination of a fleeing man went viral.
And this just gets treated as normal as the rest of his unhinged actions like repeatedly setting up coworkers for murder, other assassination attempts, casually mentioning he left the hospital after being nearly burned to death so he can clean up a murder scene, etc....
Like all of this is iconique. Who else is going to give you all this?????
looking back at my initial reaction to this moment when it happened in the manga, i can't believe i didn't immediately realise that it wasn't supposed to be taken positively. as someone who's been preaching about shigaraki being an unreliable narrator for years, it's really weird that at the time i didn't realise that the contradiction in what hawks saying ('i had support') and what he's thinking about (his toy. he didn't have any real support, only himself and his dream) is intentional, and didn't notice that his speech-bubbles are shaky. he's not really fine or alright, but he's convincing himself that he is to keep going.
i believe this is what the meta liberation army guys thought Hawks was doing on his daily basis
