#dabihawks Post-war where Hawks visits Dabi in prison because there's something he needs to work out. For himself, for the both of them, who knows? They're a fucked up pair matched in hell. 

And they have these heated exchanges where Dabi riles Hawks up all the time and then still asks for him to come like Hawks didn't walk out that day with bruised knuckles and Dabi's laughter ringing in his ears, blood trailing down his lips. 

For reasons he still hasn't figured out, Hawks always does show up. Like some kind of fucked up clockwork. Like this, is ever going to be closure that he needs. Like Dabi, is the only one who can figure him out. See right through him. Even if it's another taunt, another cut right to the core and sets everything inside of him on fire—

"You know in another life, you might've tried to save me. Becuase that's what good heroes do, don't they?"

And Hawks wants to stab a feather right through those scarred hands, the same way that he wants to kiss his bloody lips. 

He hates him. He wants to save him. He still wants him. Desperately and unforgivably. 

So if Hawks secretly throws himself into studying law, what of it? The legality isn't so far from what he's already known as a hero and passing the bar is just another exam in the number of many that he'd excelled at years ago. Regulations just requires him to get hands on practice first. 

He can do it. In a few years time, he'll become a lawyer. 

And free Dabi. 

Becuase there's no other life than this one, where he bores gold eyes into the blue of Dabi's soul and throws out in the most sarcastic kind of way—

"Aw sweetheart, what do you want me to do? Turn into a lawyer? Get you out? File an appeal?" 

It is exactly what he does.

(insp. by Daredevil 'in another life, you might be defending me')

Minor kny spoilers (?) And rant

I'll never get over how well the character deaths are written in kny. Like you get introduced to this colourful and very characteristic individual, you grow attached to them, you learn their backstory and you just think that the character will see the end of the story. That's what you think.

NO, gotouge just kills them off but in the most heartbreaking and soul crushing way, and it never fails to make me feel sad.

Kny is just full of tragedies that take place for the greater good with a bittersweet ending. A lot of people hate on kny saying that the plot isn't interesting and it's only saved by the animation. How does that explain the manga being one of the best-selling manga globally then, huh?

But I like how there's a pure evil villain, not a sad, misunderstood character with a complex background(not hating on those plots). Simplicity is nice sometimes.

I have so much more to say but I'm not writing allat

My brother thinks the way Hawks just kind of decrees that he and Tokoyami are Bird Buddies now is kinda weird, but honestly it makes sense to me?

He's a guy that's still pretty young and had an incredibly isolated upbringing, him immediately grasping onto the prospect of forming a genuine connection with someone (in this case over both being bird heteromorphs) isn't terribly surprising. Dude's not a creep, he's just lonely.
