F.Hawks: Oh Come On, Can't You Forgive Me Just This Once?

Headcannon: Sometimes I like to think that Hawks weighs close to nothing due to having hollow bones, but like, its a double edged sword. Because he has hollow bones, he is extremely fragile and like, a good punch to the gut can put him out of commission. So like, we all know how fast Hawks is, and I like to think the reason for it isn't because of his quirk, but because he is scared that he will be killed or severely injured if he got.

Sometimes I like to think that Hawks was never allowed to have a pet. One day he decides to adopt a dog and enjoys the day he has with it, only for the next day when he comes back from work for the dog to be gone, and the president of the commission to tell him, "oh yeah we got rid of your dog because its a distraction to your work. Fuck you and your happiness." And so Hawks gets upset, but then gets a cat, because they are independant creatures, but the commission gets rid of the cat as well, saying the same thing. So then Hawks decides to get a pet fish and the commissions allows it because fish do nothing but swim in their tanks and don't require much upkeep. When Hawks finds this out he decides in invest in a giant salt-water aquarium in his agency as a fuck you to the commission.

C.Hawks: It's Dabi from the league of villains! Stay back everyone, he is very dangerous. Plea- What are you doing?

F.Hawks who is approaching C.Dabi and wrapping an arm around his shoulder: Hey there hot shot, why don't the two of us go back to my place for some fun?

C.Dabi who sees both Canon and Fanon Hawks and is now visibly confused: Why the fuck are there two of you? And why is he trying to flirt with me?

C.Hawks who is now facepalming: That's Fanon Hawks... It's how fans/stans/simps/etc. of me, like to see me as.

C.Dabi: Dude... what the fuck is wrong with people?

F.Dabi off in the distance: Ayo Birdie, wrong Dabi you shithead!

C.Dabi seeing his fanon self: Now what the fuck is that?

The most heartbreaking thing about this panel/scene in general is that Hawks isn’t lying. It was supposed to be a lie. He’s supposed to be making up the most obscene things in order to trick the villains into thinking he’s on their side… but in this moment? Where he’s talking about the hero society turning out to be a bird cage that is locking him up? And how he wants to be free? It’s the honest to god truth and he knows it. Of all the times where he’s put on that fake smile, this is the one that actually looks painful.

Painful because it’s the truth. Painful because he has to use it as a lie. Painful because he’s never, ever opened up about it with anyone before but Twice, this man on the opposite side, his enemy… that he has started to grow attached to anyways. Hawks is bearing his heart to Jin in this moment, but he won’t ever know it. He’s going to be cut down, betrayed anyways because that’s just a part of this sickening job he’s stuck with to “protect people.”

Who will protect Hawks though, when he’s doing this mission singlehandedly, not being able to tell a soul about it? Who else is there to turn to but the villains around him? Little by little, he’s realizing more things about himself while infiltrating and it hits him harder than he could ever imagine.

Here, unlike his other half-hearted smiles, he can’t even open his eyes. He might actually show some emotion if he did that. He looks so… small and meager. He’s showing his teeth so awkwardly, like someone in complete submission, like someone who’s acting like it’s all okay but can crumble at any given moment. He’s crying out for help.

Absolutely nothing, or else... uh... you will lose your water privileges.

NOTHING BAD IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO THIS MAN. DO YALL GET ME?? NOTHING. I SAY.

Hey, back to this, now that it's been animated and what not.

So Hawks has prosthetic feathers, which means his wings will never be the same. My question is, how did AFO notice them? Like are the prosthetics that different from his feathers? In the manga, you could barely notice it.

Man, can wait for when Hawks [Redacted] his [Redacted] gets animated. Then [Redacted] realizes that Hawks' [Redacted] is not what [Redacted] expected.

That moment when you want to talk about specific moments from the Manga, but don't want to spoil the Anime only folk.

Your Canon Hawks vs Fanon Hawks content is great, I love it! A lot of the Fanon Hawks stuff cracks me up. I don’t realize just how flirty Fanon Hawks is usually written until you brought it more to light. Honestly it’s funny. 😆

Thanks! And yeah, Fanon Hawks, from every media platform I'm on, he is usually flirty. Doing the Canon v Fanon brings a lot of light to the difference between the two, which makes me happy when people notice the major difference.

Man, sometimes I need to remind myself that I'm not writing a book, just a part 2 of an AU. But even then so, there's just a lot of detail I want to add. Maybe I will cut it to 3 parts...

Hawks unhinged and feral is sexy and you can't tell me I'm wrong. The way his eyes are sharp and focused, his smile is replaced with a snarl or frown. His movements are cold and calculated, meant to kill. Willing to risk his life and die protecting others. The way he laughs over the fact he could die, and doesn't care at all. We love it. I'm all here for it. Give me more. Please Hori, give me more. ;-;

Hawks has big wings. We love it.

Something the manga captures that the anime doesn't.
