The Institute for Palestine Studies has just launched a comprehensive encyclopedia of Palestinian history that's interactive and informative and really fun to explore. Now is the time to be learning history, not just for other countries but for your own as well. Really recommend taking a moment to check it out, especially the chronological timeline which I've been super enjoying:
dabi and hawks? for ship opinion?
okay okay i'm going to be more detailed this time around.
i have very complicated thoughts on dabihawks. like... i do read dabihawks, but that's more because it's all i can ever find for dabi content and i'm at the point where i'm like, whatever, i'll take it. i also will read fics by any mutuals who write dabihawks bc i trust them on their portrayals. and occasionally i'll read a good fic and suddenly get feelings for the ship again (because i used to like it).
HOWEVER... in general i'm not a fan of the ship. for obvious reasons in canon, but i think if it were just bc of canon i would have ignored the ship. its that the shippers have sort of ruined it for me. obviously this is not every single shipper in existence but some of them make it really obvious that they're just hawks stans who don't care about dabi and only use him as an accessory or therapist to hawks. either that, or they demonize shigaraki and the rest of the lov and act like dabi is somehow more morally pure than them, which is... wrong? i dont think this happens a lot anymore but i will occasionally stumble across that even now (i saw one like this today :/) and its just really weird.
i also feel really sick and uncomfortable at any fics that make dabi get together with hawks post-266. i've seen it a few times and i genuinely feel nauseous seeing that sort of stuff because it's like, twice just doesn't matter anymore to dabi bc he's getting together with twice's murderer, or it downplays hawks' actions and pretends that dabi is the aggressor or that he's abusive or something and he needs to beg for forgiveness. and i just really don't like that. before 266 is fine though.
Oh I’m so irritated at how Lady Nagant’s story line is going but why is it everyone is acting like Hawks is a mass murderer for just showing up? Their storylines are connected so it makes sense. It’s not like he’s killed thousands with no remorse or anything. I feel that hate is better spent on AFO who is the in-story reason for her problems rn.
wait hold that thought, hawks needs help choosing an outfit , which one looks better on him 😕
but nws i have enough hate in my heart for two ppl 😁✌️
I’ve never really put these two scenes together in my mind, but ya gotta love how Dabi criticizes how Shigaraki handled the attack on the USJ by saying that it would have been better to go with a small group of *elite* villains when the last time we saw Dabi, Giran was like “yeah, he hasn’t really done anything yet, but he likes Stain. So there’s that.” We stan a bitch with confidence
