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
ten likes and ill color this
A little doodle of a de-aged Hawks being taken care of by the League of Villains - specifically Mr Compress who is surprisingly very good with kids. And yes, Hawks is wearing Endeavor pajamas - compliments of Twice and Toga wanting to troll Dabi.
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.

happy yaoi friday to my yaoi goats

Help
I'm so sorry but ever since that teen Hawks page was translated on twitter I can't stop thinking about it. like. Mera treated him like a person. he was assigned to Hawks when he was already a teenager. did no one treat him like a person before then? was it such an uncommon occurrence that it seemed special when someone did? I mean, they didn't even let him have a person's name. they gave him a hero name, and to the HPSC, that was the name of a tool. of a product. they basically bought a child and treated him so coldly that Mera stood out to him because he treated him like a person. the bars of my enclosure.
Never gonna get over BUBAIGAWARA JIN looking at the number two hero Takami Keigo and feeling bad for him. How hard did Hawks work that sad trapped hero schtick for Jin of all people to be like, "that kid needs help." ??????? Or does Hawks like drop the mask once in a while to disassociate and everyone kind of gets the "ah this man has been through some fucked up shit" vibes?????
