Feeling a lot better after... 5 or 6 days of being sick. Still have a bad cough and nasal congestion, but I feel more energized and am going to get to asks and all that. Fuck the rain, love you guys!

Quirk Mutation PT.1

"Woah there, sorry. Did my wing hit you?" Hawks asked as you picked yourself up from the ground.

You didn't expect his wings to be so powerful that a simple flap would knock you off your feet. You dusted yourself off and turned your gaze to him. He waited for an answer as he looked you up and down, analyzing you and your mood.

"It's fine. It was my mistake to get so close to them in the first place." You admitted, getting ready to head to where you were going.

Hawks let you pass, but not before questioning what had happened. Normally, he would have picked up the vibrations and moved before his wings would have hit you. However, he didn't sense a thing. Was he sick? Were his feathers alright? He didn't know. He decided to write it off as spacing out and went on with his day. A few villains and helping the common folk was what his day was filled with. That is, until he got a call from a certain flame user. He went to their normal meeting spot and waited for Dabi to arrive.

A few mintues go by, and Hawks goes to call Dabi, wondering where he was, only for a ringtone to go off behind him, making him jump. He clutched his hesrt as he turned towards Dabi, who stared at him bewildered.

"How long have you been there?!" Hawks exclaimed, trying to calm down from the near heart attack he almost experienced

"I've been here, waiting. Didn't you pick up on me walking behind you?" Dabi questioned the hero, clearly confused.

"I..." There was no way for Hawks to lie and make an excuse, so he decided to just tell the truth.

"I haven't been able to sense anything with my feathers as of late. Haven't been able to pick up on anything. I'm worried it may affect my work and efficiency."

Dabi raised a brow, clearly unamused.

"Let me test something then." Dabi went to grab a feather and plucked it from Hawks' wing. He didn't sense Dabi going to grab it, and watched seeing what he may do next.

"Tell me if you feel anything." Dabi stated as he set the feather ablaze.

Hawks didn't feel a single thing, which terrified him. Usually he would pick up on his feather being burnt, the pain equal to that of a pinch. However, he didn't feel anything at all, as if the feather wasn't even a part of him. As if it wasn't apart of him...

"Anything?" Dabi asked

"Nothing..." Hawks muttered.

"Send a feather my way, yeah?" Dabi suggested.

Right. He couldn't sense vibrations, that was all. Right? Hawks tried to send a feather at Dabi, only for nothing to happen. His wings didn't even move. This caused fear to shoot through Hawks' spine, and the feathers on his wings puffed up. He turned his head, wide eyed as he looked at his wings.

"That's not supposed to happen." Hawks admitted, as he tried to flatten his feathers.

He couldn't, the panic he felt was too great, causing his wings to stay the way they were.

"Are you okay?" Dabi asked, getting sort of freaked out by the display in front of him.

"I don't know, I d- OW!" Hawks removed his gloves as he looked at his hands, more specifically, his nails.

His nails, once trimmed and filed, now long and sharp, darkening as they grew. He watched as his hands changed, his fingertips now thickly padded and the back becoming layered in scaley thick skin. He kneeled over in pain as he felt feathers begin to grow on his back and neck, some on his shoulders, face, ears and even his arms. The feeling overwhelming as he turned to Dabi in desperation. The villain, taling a step back as he watched Hawks transform before his very eyes.

Hawks felt his eyes dialate as his surroundings became more clear. His throat burned as if his vocal cords were on fire, a deep throated, high pitched shriek coming from him instead of his usual scream. He could feel his muscles contract and relax as his whole body transformed into something, not even he could comprehend.

"Da-bi... wh.. what is happen- ing to m-me...?" Hawks groaned, his voice hoarse and dry.

Dabi readied himself, arms in flames as he watched from a distance, waiting to see if Hawks would attack. After another minute of pain and agony, Hawks ended up passing out from exhaustion, his body reformed. Dabi wasn't sure what to do, but he did know one thing. If Hawks was to be spotted, then his plans of using the hero, would go down the drain. So he stayed, and waited, and watched. He waited for the hero to wake up, maybe then he would get some answers as to what the fuck just happened.

He has come so far from "When I start losing feathers, it becomes difficult to fly and stay in the air." To "I will use the what little feathers I have left to help my comrades, and still be able to fly. Fuck you, your still to slow."

Hawks is flying with two sticks and sheer will alone at this point

Been making a Hawks playlist, anyone interested?

Anyone have a good Hawks fic of him taking care of you while your sick?

Unrelated news, I got sick.

Mineta ain't liked by anybody.

Dabi 😭

Just watched a turf war between 2 crows, a hawk and 4 vultures. The vultures won.

Just realized that season 6 is right around the corner. I AM NOT READY FOR WEAK VOICE, RECOVERING, AND OPTOMISTIC HAWKS AKFIWOGOWJ

F.Hawks: I am too fast for my own good, just try and out fly me. YOU CAN'T

C.Hawks: I'm too fast for my own good, both in the air and on the ground.

F.Hawks: Dude, you aren't that fast a runner.

C.Hawks: Oh really?

C.Hawks:

F.Hawks: Doesn't prove anything.

C.Hawks: Wanna race then?

F.Hawks: ...

F.Hawks: No.

C.Hawks: Thought so.

You see, the problem with MHA fans is that they believe any of their class 1A favs can do what Hawks did and reach top ten in their early twenties, let alone pre-twenties. Do you have any idea how unprecedented what Hawks accomplished was? They simply can not compare. Sit down.

*finds a really good dabihawks fic with angst, slow burn, fluff/comfort, and even smut*

Fuck.

the darkness of hawks my hero academia

I remember when Hawks was first introduced and opinions were kinda split since we were still trying to figure him out. Even with a bit of a shaky start, I think some people were enamored with him from the get-go. Anyhow, you’re right to say that he was designed to be a fan favorite, Horikoshi admitted that himself when he said he wanted him to be popular!

Hmm. That’s kind of interesting to point out. “A rags to riches story?” And the “opportunity of the hero system” ooh that makes me think, and once again I am wishing we got more on Hawks’ side of the HPSC story and how his debut went. I can definitely see them pulling a “with hard work, you too can be a hero!” and “the hero life offers you many great opportunities and grand splendor” to reel people in, but I think that happens naturally because of the All Might craze. Hawks’ history was kept private so nobody’s gonna be saying he went from rags to riches, and certainly not Hawks himself with how little he shares.

Woah 😂 Oh my god, the spooky music came out of nowhere! That surprised me, and what a dramatic explanation, “crafted on an empty conveyor belt by men in suits and empty office rooms” and you called him a chameleon HELP- but apt description. I feel like I’m reading a fanfic by a theatre kid, this is neat. Really poetic in a serious, looming darkness kind of way. And then everything playing in the background??? Haha, really cool way to design a video and with the sound effects.

I’m glad you acknowledged that while Hawks’ theatrics COULD have been bits and pieces of who he might’ve turned out to be without HPSC interference, it’s mostly trained acting. Which is part of why he became my favorite. I think it’s really cool to analyze what he does and try to figure out the intentions behind them, and how he switches from one personality to another.

And…there’s where I’ll have to disagree. Lady Nagant might’ve been a hired killer, but Hawks isn’t. The HPSC stopped the whole “killing” thing after the last Chairman was killed. And he’s never tried to enable them? He was really upset about that, not wanting to turn a blind-eye to the League’s victims, didn’t let anyone die during the High-End incident despite the HPSC clearly saying “you can, and you will” even if it could’ve convinced Dabi. He’s not the HPSC’s blind puppet. And he definitely doesn’t like them or working for them. Otherwise he wouldn’t have said, “there’s nobody to give me orders anymore, I’m free of my shackles.” When they got shut down.

The spy gig wasn’t the first time he expressed disliking their ideas. The HPSC loves putting up appearances, past and future, with “false sweetness” and he ruined their elaborate little public showcase of the top heroes. They wanted polite PR lines? They called it a “critical turning point?” he threw that line back in their faces. “If this is a critical turning point, then what I don’t want to hear is all these PR-friendly soundbites.” You know, the same thing that annoyed Nagant for it being a lie to the public to save face. Perfect, “safe words” but not real, honest heroics. He sounds rude, but he shoots down the idea of “clinging to the past” by making a counter-point to every line said during that. The HPSC was very frustrated with losing All Might, this was their way to make up for it. But society shouldn’t cling to that old system. Hawks is the first hero to ever say that. Otherwise pretty much everyone is trying to cling to the old ways and become the next All Might.

It’s funny. They expressed frustration over “this is what we get for relying on one man.” But the HPSC continues their old habits of relying on one man when they sent Hawks in alone to spy on the villains with no way out for him, forbidding him to tell anyone of his mission and hiding how he was undercover even during the raid. He could’ve gotten help, he wouldn’t have thought killing Twice was his only option if he had back-up. But nothing. They sent him to deal with the consequences alone, and they got their karma from making the child of a villain, pretend to be a villain and do things he hates, thinking he’d do it easily, but Hawks drew it out for so long that Twice’s clone of Re-Destro destroyed their HQ and killed the Chairwoman. And might I add it was really stupid of them to invite Re-Destro to talk teaming up with support items or whatever when there’s no way they wouldn’t have known he was dangerous. Hawks would’ve warned them. And he knows they’re manipulating him. Isn’t it sad that he says “calling it a proposal when I can’t refuse? how malicious of you” when Nagant tried to refuse killing, she got a gun pulled out on her and got dumped in Tartarus. Hawks likes being a hero, and helping people. And they’re providing support for his mom, and hiding his family history. They’ve got blackmail on him, and Hawks himself can’t refuse if saying yes means someone else won’t have to dirty their hands in his place. He’ll take on the burden so people can rest easy.

And as funny as the sentence “what is Wash’s body count?” is, Hawks and Nagant are the only ones of their kind that were created in this way. Horikoshi’s said it, I’m not just pulling everything out of thin air.

I don’t view heroes killing villains or criminals as “dark” at all

sometimes when a villain is dangerous you have no choic

MHA MANGA SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T READ (Haha imagine)

I want more of this. Give it. Gimme

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. ;-;

Fanon lovers, take note:

F.Hawks: SCREEEEE

C.Hawks: Why can you make that noise?

F.Hawks: Why can't you?

C.Hawks: Why would I?

F.Hawks: How else are you going to establish dominance over your fellow hero partners?

C.Hawks: ...

Something we should include in quirk swaps: Someone not being able to understand the feedback from Hawks' feathers. Not just directional or not getting overstimulated- but flat out just not comprehending them. I'm not deaf but from what I've heard, cochlear implants don't just "give you hearing" it's something new that you have to learn how to interpret over a long period of time and it doesn't always work out in the end. I think Hawks' quirk works exactly like that. When he was a kid he said "my feathers were tingly and I felt something was wrong" so this isn't an immediate adjustment. If someone gets Hawks quirk, they're definitely going to struggle a lot with it.

Tell me what songs you think fit Hawks the most. Personally, I think Identity by Grandson fits him the most.

Went to see the new Jurassic World movie and now it makes me wonder what type of dino Hawks would be.

I feel like he would be an Archaeopteryx or a Microraptor. Small feathered dinosurs that lack power but are very fast.

Fandom Etiquette

I’ve been around for a really long time in various fandoms, and no one ever writes this stuff down. I’ll start. Please add to the list. We can’t expect people to follow “rules” they don’t know exist.

Fanart

if you like something, reblog it. Help the artist get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you. 

if you want more of it, support it. This can be via commissions, reblogs, recommending the artist to other people, shouting in the tags, or sending the artist asks/messages. 

if you hate it, keep scrolling. Keep the hate in a message window with a friend, not in the artist’s notes. 

if you want to use it, ask permission. Artwork is beautiful and you want to show it off. But please ask the artist before you throw it into your header or your icon. 

if you use it, give credit. And not just a post where you say “Do you like my new icon? X made it!”. Put it in your blog description, that way when someone rolls around your blog three months from now, they also know where your icon/header came from. 

Fanfic

if you like something, reblog it. Help the author get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.

if you want more of it, support it. Kudos are fine, but if you want more of the thing you like, you should comment. Subscribe to the story or the author. Send them a message about how much you like what they wrote. 

if you read it, kudos it. Or give it a thumbs up. And this is just if you managed to get all the way to the end. If you finished the story and you actually liked it? Comment and reblog. 

don’t demand content. Be patient. Stories take time. You can encourage without being demanding. Show your love for what’s there without telling them to post more often. 

be gentle with criticism. Some people want it and some people run away from it. If you don’t know what type of person the author is, it’s best not to go there. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”

Fandom

ship and let ship. You love your ship and other people love theirs. No one needs to “win” when we’re all going to end up in tears anyway. 

if you hate it, stay out of the tag. This has two meanings: 1) don’t deliberately put hateful commentary in a tag and 2) if you  hate a tag, don’t go and read through that tag just to make yourself angry

if someone makes you something, appreciate it. Read and comment the fic. Like and reblog the artwork. Pimp it out and tell them how much you loved it. It’s a gift, treat it like one. 

if it’s a gift, put some effort into it. You signed up for that exchange three months ago and now it’s a week before you have to send the gift and you don’t have the time or the inclination to do the thing. Well too bad. Someone out there has been working hard in your gift, so you should do the same for them. 

none of us are “better” than anyone else. We’re all trash for our particular show/film/book/ship/artist/what-have-you. My fave is no better than yours and yours is no better than mine. 

actors are not their characters. They are people. Treat them like people. 

Very much true, for any ship really

If your ship realizes they are in love and there's not a immediate sense of horror and dread I don't see the point tbh. Like, what even is their reaction then?

A shrug and 'alright then' thought?

My dog scratched my arm and left two gnarly scars.

Now I think about if you get into an argument with Hawks and you are trying to walk away and Hawks tries to stop you by grabbing your arm but you try to pull your arm away and his talons end up scratching you and draw blood. Then he looks at your pained expression and then his hand in horror of what he just did and apologizes before leaving. And then the next time you see him, you notice he clipped his talons and filed them to dull nails. He looks at your now bandaged arm and can't stop thinking about how he hurt the one person he truly loved.

Seeing that Hawks canonically says things like 'ain't', makes me relieved because then I don't have to suppress my southern dialect as much, though I still do. Until he says shit like wouldn't've and shouldn't've, I'll stick to the bare minimum of him saying 'ain't' very rarely.

*Secretly headcannon Hawks saying American slang, due to him working over seas and picking up the slang from Americans.*

Haha, cute birdman says: Those shoes are pretty ballin, think I'll save up for those kicks.

Left, right? Ambidextrous!

Fanon Hawks: Be gay! Do crimes!

Canon Hawks: No. Do not do crimes.

Fanon Hawks: Then... Be gay?

Canon Hawks: Be gay, but don't do crimes.

Fanon Hawks: Hmm fine.

*Fanon calls Fanon Dabi*

Fanon Hawks: We can be gay, but we can't burn down the commission.

Canon Hawks: ... Wait-

Fanon Hawks: Sorry, you said no crimes.

Canon: 👁👄👁
