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.
imagine overworking Hawks
little hawks got his hair ruffled
love language
My Hero Academia is ending after 10 years this month
Thank you for 2 years of great manga 🤘🤘
Touya and Keigo but make it TV Girl
see I kept telling people the reason I'm a Hawks Stan is because he is a never ending source of lulz and bat shit stuff happening that gets treated completely sanely. Man happens to be one of the most casually unhinged people in this manga and everyone just treats it as normal and he talked them into giving him, a traumatized 23 year old whose job experience was being a child soldier, a very high up decision making position in the government overseeing the rest of them. Oh, and he's just casually walking around with a katana now - not even his quirk and it's like he's daring someone to try something and they won't because his coldblooded assassination of a fleeing man went viral.
And this just gets treated as normal as the rest of his unhinged actions like repeatedly setting up coworkers for murder, other assassination attempts, casually mentioning he left the hospital after being nearly burned to death so he can clean up a murder scene, etc....
Like all of this is iconique. Who else is going to give you all this?????
