some hawks

Mha villian oc and her bird bf who wants her dead

everyone, from characters in the manga to fandom: hawks just...optimistic isn't he? Wow, Horikoshi is just not going to make him reckon with what he did, continue on thinking he was right to murder twice, continue his parasocial and creepy obsession with Endeavor and the Todoroki family, wow his writing is SHIT.

horikoshi: *literally NAMES JIN HUMANITY AND MAKES KEIGO KILL HIM IN THE NAME OF DUTY*

horikoshi: *draws this man getting progressively loose and deranged with his facial expressions WHEN HE STARTED OFF HIDING THEM KNOWINGLY FROM PEOPLE*

Horikoshi: *likely asked the people in the anime and Yuki Hayashi (i believe music is composed before animation might be wrong) to specifically frame the scene a certain way just in case people got the wrong idea*

Horikoshi: *draws hawks screaming they have to kill twice again NEARLY EXACTLY LIKE HE DREW DABI MANICLY TALKING IN A VOLUME EXTRA, LIKE A PANEL TWIN, DID THE SAME FOR SPINNER WHO HE'S ALSO SHOWN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND LOSING HIMSELF*

Horikoshi: *word for word makes Hawks talk about liking Jin in the same way Toga does when she wants to "become" someone and they both use the same language when they tell someone they like them*

Everyone:*sigh* well, that's it with hawks then, he's just going to live in denial forever. or maybe he wasn't even wrong????

dabi and hawks and perfomance and mask and

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?????

so this is how we’re coping

I've seen some people on Twitter say they think this ending has rewritten Hawks' persona to be his true personality and was wondering what you thought about that? I've always had mixed feelings about people dismissing a lot of his behaviour as being fake/persona since I feel it's a little more complicated than just being the polar opposite of the hero Hawks

Keigo is indeed too traumatized and complicated to have a simple "real" and "fake" personality. There's layers. I think he's always had the kind of charisma to be able to do what he's doing (SPC prez). And he even questions if he has time to kill in his last panel, but it feels very tongue-in-cheek.

My view has always been that happy/optimist/charismatic Hawks might not be "real internal" of Keigo's personality, but they were what he aspires to hence why he tends to wear that persona. And I don't think that's fake.

Maybe I'm coming from the standpoint of someone with a personality disorder where we change our personalities, but I strongly believe what we want to be and try to be is part of our personalities, too.
