Look at the boys!
Some old DabiHawks sketches
F.Hawks: Oh come on, can't you forgive me just this once?
C.Hawks: You let Dabi escape.
F.Hawks: I don't see anything wrong with that.
C.Hawks: He is a villain. A murderer! He doesn't care for anyone other than himself!
F.Hawks: That's not true, he cares for some people
C.Hawks: Oh? And how would you know? Did you talk over a cup of tea and become friends?
F.Hawks: Yes, actually.
C.Hawks: What.
C.Hawks: Please tell me you were talking to Fanon Dabi, mistaking him for Canon Dabi?
F.Hawks: F.D. isn't usually up til noon. I had this conversation with Canon before I let him escape.
C.Hawks: I'm arresting you.
I REALLY NEED TO FINISH THIS FFS
With an expression like this? AGREED
I think we can add 'goofy/laid back bird-like blondes possessing feral or black air force one energy and trauma' to a list of tropes I'm weak to
One shot ideas
If I were to write a short one shot of Hawks, what should it be about?
First post on here and it's a Hawks bday dump!!!
HBD king 🙏
Happy Birthday Takami Keigo! 🎂🎉🎈
Think about how since Hawks no longer has wings, he can finally recline in a chair and not have to feel uncomfortable. Even when his feathers were exhausted, he still had the nubs of his wings. Not anymore. He can relax to his hearts content.
THIS and he would rather stay at the home he owns rather than one given by the commission. Simply because it is his. It wasn't given to him and he has free reign in his own home to simply relax.
can we just talk about how tragic hawks' story is
from a young age, he was shamed for his quirk. then the commission came along and exploited a child for his quirk. his whole life was centred around his quirk and being a hero. then he lost it in a battle. he was so young too like he was in his early twenties i think?? AND it was not long after dabi burned his wings. i feel so bad for hawks i just want to give him a hug :(
Im curious. Is there a Hawks fic that ya'll haven't read but have been wanting to read? Like a concept/plot that hasn't been done but you wish has?
LOOK AT HIM!
h a w k s
I need a fic where Hawks permanently loses his ability to speak after getting hit with a quirk and now has to rely on his avian instincts to communicate. However, everyone starts to lose their interest and love for him until his popularity drops to the bottom of the barrel. This causes him to lose faith in humanity and become a hermit, never leaving the new home he made himself in an abandoned warehouse and slowly losing more of his humanity until he is a feral bird of prey. He gets captured after having killed a few people who decided to get too close to his home and ends up in rehabilitation rather than prison. Why? Because he isn't deemed sane or even seen as human, ar least mentally. So now Hawks spends months trying to learn to be human again, but being unable to speak makes it incredibly difficult. That is until he makes a few chirps and squawks, thsn slowly over the months he manages to parrot words and phrases, and then learns to speak broken English and finally becomes fluent once more. After being fully rehabilitated, he is welcomed back into society. Question is, would people still accept him?
(Needed to get this written out before I forgot about it. Might stash it for a future fic to write.)
Just spent 2 hours reading this tooth-rotting, painstakingly sweet fluff of a DabiHawks fic. Thought I'd share since I loved it so much.
Thinking of adding onto this at some point
RANT ABOUT HAWKS
Thinking about Keigo's wings, and how a lot of people like to base Keigo's wings on a Red-Tailed Hawk. The average wingspan of RT-Hawks are just under 5 feet, and so if we scale it up by about 3.1x (taking the average size of a TRH and matching it as close as possible to Keigo's height.) Then multiply that by the average wingspan, (Lets say 4ft 2inch). Keigo would have a wingspan of around 13-15ft, depending on the size, so about 14ft.
From what we have seen, Keigo soars in the sky, like a Hawk would do. Understanding how a Hawk is able to soar, you would know that it conserves a lot of energy by doing so. We see that Keigo gets bored while flying during work, as its takes so little energy that it would quite literally not require him to concentrate on flying at all. (Theoretically, he could soar the skies effortlessly without even thinking, second nature type shit.) This allows him to use his eyes to scout the ground below, or shift his body during flight.
We also know that Keigo states that he is not powerful, and relies on speed and agility. Keigo can also manipulate his feathers to sharpen them, use them as blades, sense things around him, and pick people or object up. We know his feathers are incredibly strong, specifically the calamus, or quil. If we take that into account, we can theorize that Keigo could probably lift close to a ton with his feathers. We know this because when Hawks rescues the civilians in the collasping building in the nomu fight, he is carrying well over 20 adults (possibly 30-60), the average weight of a human being anywhere from 120-200 lbs. Even as a child, Keigo has saved adults during the high-speed car accident, meaning Keigo's feathers have always been strong.
Knowing all of this, we can safely say, I have no idea where this is going other than Keigo is stupidly fast, smart, and strong. Even if we only see two aspects, his speed and wit, we also get bits of how powerful his wings are.
BY THE WAY, Keigo is stupidly resiliant... He lands on his back, tumbling and recovered within the instant, adjusting his wings for balance as he runs at an inhumane speed, not only backwords, but squated, or knees bent close to 90°, any other hero would more than likely have taken the fall, stayed down for a good while then recovered.
Keigo is also impulsive, manipulative and aware. He can read others better than they think, he states how he is impulsive and can't control himself when he wants something. He snuck his way into Twice's brain along with 95% of the PLF. Keigo is so casual about how he presents himself, that people never notice how alert he is.
Oh and and and, THIS IS IMPORTANT. KEIGOS WINGS ARENT CONSTANTLY SENSITIVE. We knows this because canonically, kids and adults touch and mess with his wings when he deals with his fans. We only see his feathers detect sounds, vibrations, etc. when he concentrates to do so. Meaning he needs a lot of brainpower to "listen in" through his feathers. If they were constantly sensitive, then he wouldn't be able to use them during combat, rescue, or near others.
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
(Edit: spelling)
(Side Note: I could keep going, I really could... but if I did this would be stupidly long.)
I will never stop loving this goofy man. Deserves to be protected at all costs
oh baby 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 hes so pookie loser boy <\3
Saw that communities are now a thing, so I made one for our favorite bird man!
Hawks Fan Club community is now available to all!
Such a funny little goof
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.
My favorite head canon is Mera and Keigo, having a father/son dynamic and Mera being the one taking care of Keigo as his 'handler'. Whenever another commission worker tries to push Keigo past his limit, and even after seeing him clearly struggle, Mera will step in and berate the other workers, reminding him that he is still a kid. Mera is just overprotective over Keigo and still sees him as a person rather than the next commission hero.
*Everyone is giving advice to Keigo after he joined the lov*
Mr. Compress: It's okay to ask for help.
Kurogiri: You're not a burden.
Dabi, Himiko, Shigaraki & Spinner: Murder is okay.
Magne: Your feelings matter.
Pulled him a third time 🪶
Pulled him TWICE
There is nothing better than a battle full of Hawks.

Skip if you are not caught up on the manga. (Final vol.)
(You've been warned.)
I don't care what anyone says, Hawks still looks handsome in his early-thirties. He's been through living hell, almost died on multiple occasions, and suffers trauma and lifetime permanent scars. He lost his quirk and went through experiences that would have mentally broken anyone. He got his wish in the end, he can relax and enjoy his life.
Hawks is one of the strongest characters in the manga, and I don't mean physically. He most definitely went to therapy for all the trauma and possibly to help adjust to losing a whole sense (his quirk) and his wings. Rather than retire from hero work, he became president of the commission, to which he now helps lead the new generation of heroes and looks after the safety of Japan. He still cares about others, and rather than lose his shit over all the trauma he experienced, he lives happily. He sleeps well and clearly takes care of himself. He is most definitely on happy pills and possibly suffers from PTSD, but at the very least, he is alive, happy, and well. He kept moving forward and finally became the person he wanted to be.
AND TO ANYONE WHO SAYS "Oh, he's ugly or looks like his dad, or he's not my Hawks." Shut up and listen. You aren't going to stay handsome after surviving multiple near-death experiences that left multiple scars along with possibly destroyed nerves. Recovery, even with how advanced the medicine is in their world, isn't going to restore you to your youthful self. If you've ever met someone who had battle scars or suffered heavy trauma, they aren't going to look how they used to. Plus, genetics? Of course, at some point, he'd look like his mother and/or father. Whatever the case, Hawks is still the same character I love and adore. I will continue to adore and love him for who he is.
I don't care what anyone says, I will fucking die on this hill.
Hawks, but he's in an inflatable turkey costume, gobbling at everyone in the commission to boost morale. He remembered that Americans celebrated a holiday, he couldn't remember the name exactly and started going around the different offices shouting "Merry Turkey Day!" Everyone was confused as to why a 30yo is acting like a child. Then everyone remembered it's Hawks.
I got sick a few days ago and it reminded me of this
How I think Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would react to you getting a fever. (Been a while since I've done one of these)
Canon notices you still hadn't gotten out of bed around noon and went to check on you. Your face was pale and your lips were redder than normal. He checked your temperature, you were burning up and were barely awake. Immediately Hawks went to the fridge and grabbed a cold compress. He wrapped a cloth around it and placed it on your head to cool you down. The most Hawks knew was that rest would be the best option, though for a temperature as high as yours he decided to get you some medicine. Checking around, you had nothing for fever which meant Hawks would have to go and buy some. He goes out to buy medicine and stops to buy some chicken noodle soup as well. Coming home, he gives you the medicine and begins working on making you the soup. While the soup heated, he readied a cold bath and some spare clothes for you as he woke you from your needed slumber. He apologized and helped you up, leading you to the bath room. Helping you strip down and into the tub, you almost jumped back into Keigo's arms, but he reassured you he would be by your side. The cold water woke you, and as much as you didn't want to, you needed to cool your body down. After fighting your mental self, you had him help you in the tub and prevent you from escaping the cold water. A few minutes passed before you adjusted to the water. You felt slightly better, but after the bath, you just wanted warmth. Keigo helped you get dressed and lead you to the couch, where he had already prepared a few blankets and pillows for you. He served you some soup and set you on the couch as he went to change the sheets in your bedroom, throwing your current into the washer. Keigo wasn't good with his words when it came to you, but he was very expressive through his actions. It was something you loved about him, we was never static, in fact, he was very fluid with his motions and made sure to express his emotions. He took care of you in sickness and in heath. The rest of the day, he spent by your side, tending to your every need. Your fever was bad and lasted about a week. After you had recovered, the following week Keigo got sick himself and now it was your turn to take care of him.
V.S.
Fanon senses your sickness and begins to panic. To you, you just had a simple fever, to him you were on the brink of death. He can be a bit overdramatic with his actions, but you knew Keigo meant well. He immediately left to get medicine, soup and even some bottles of water. He gave you the medicine and began making the soup. As he did, he left a few feathers around you to keep an ear out for you. He kept a cold wet rag on your head and kept it wet to help break your fever. Keigo didn't want you to move a muscle, he fed you, helped you drink water, and even checked for any other symptoms. He hoped it was only a fever and nothing worse. Keigo dreaded losing you, you were all he had and he would be lost without you. His wings were disheveled, and so was his hair. He paced around the house as you slept. Eventually he got so anxious that he sat by your bed and held your hand as you slept. He stayed with you as you slept, eventually falling asleep as well. Waking up feeling better, you turn to see Keigo asleep, he was on his knees and half of his body was on the bed. His head resting on his arm and his hand intertwined with yours. You watched him sleep and decided to wait for him to wake up to tell him you felt better. An hour had passed before he woke up, and upon hearing you were feeling better, he rushed to give you a hug and covered your face in kisses. He wings flapping happily and little chirps could be heard from him as he nozzles his face into your neck. You laughed and told him to take it easy, but Keigo wanted nothing more than to hold you in his arms for the rest of the day. And he did just that.
The fact that this was posted in April and is STILL getting likes blows my mind. IT'S JUST A SILLY HEADCANON! WHY IS EVERYONE ALL OVER THIS?!
Whenever I re-watch the 3rd MHA movie, I like to think that Hawks is fast, but like, inhumanely fast. So fast that he can dodge literal gunfire and take down the enemies with ease. BECAUSE HE FUCKING DOES! He moves so fast that he is unharmed as he fights on the ground and still keeps going. Without his wings btw, because his feathers are busy searching, so ye. Hawks is fast, but like, inhumanely fast that it's scary.
Hawks has big wings. We love it.
Something the manga captures that the anime doesn't.
An old favorite
Fanon lovers: Hawks would be a shitty boyfriend since he is always working and probably uses his body in some lines of his work.
Canon lovers: Hawks is a precious fucking bean that must be protected. If you try and slander the precious nugget, you are going to meet your McFucking end.
With MHA being over, it's hard to say theres anything else to write about. I think I'll just periodically repost really old posts about Hawks from now on, and answer any asks!
Stories... stories.. I'm thinking of writing another fic, but idk what I would want it to be about...
Any ideas?
Okay I like sting bean hawks, but hear me out, hawks would have massive pecks/chest and back muscles because of his wings…and then like have a skinny waist….like a triangle/Dorito 
IIRC Hawks has complained about his body not being able to accommodate his wings properly. But in light of your comment. I do think rather than having a bugger chest, Hawks would likely benefit more if he had a spare set of pectorals. If you were to think of it on an anatomical level, the pectorals help with the movement of the shoulders and arms. For the movement of wings, you would more than likely need another set of pectorals to help, along with stronger back muscles.
Hawks, per say, wouldn't need more muscles to accommodate his wings, but rather, he would need a body that actually accommodates his wings.
I think a good way to explain it would be your stereotypical harpy or wyvern. Their arms are wings, meaning they have no hands, so they would have no need for an extra set of muscles. Harpies are depicted as a part woman part bird creature in mythology. However, with how the body is *typically* structured, their bodies are more bird than humans, so the muscle structures would look different, yet it would accommodate for the wings.
Wyverns are depicted as dragons who have wings for arms rather than a typical western dragon that has wings on its back. Western dragons are usually depicted as having strong, large bodies, and while we can not actually confirm their muscle structure, we often seen them design with large chests, and more than likely a complex muscle structure to also accommodate for their wings. Wyverns wouldn't need as large of a chest as a western dragon and more often depicted with slender bodies compared to that of a western dragon, yet still are big since they need strong muscles to fly.
Let's take Hawks now. Being human, his body is not adapted to have wings. If you look at, say, a body builder and how they large muscles, if you gave them wings, what muscles exactly would be used to promote the wings to function? None, why? Because every muscle on the human body already has its use and purpose. Simply put, you would need extra muscles on your body that are specifically for said wings. If we were to put that into Hawks, his body would look different. If we were to go off of how his quirk is used and how long he has been training his quirk, and if he did have the proper muscles to accommodate his wings. Hawks would look completely different. Yes, he would have a winder chest, but he would have extra muscles, such as extra pecorals and even extra back muscles.
Anyways I got off track here.... sorry about that >.>
Yes, he would have a strong upper body, but IMO (OPINION BTW) his entire body wouldn't also be as strong. He is meant for speed, not strength. We don't know a lot about how his wings actually work if you think of it from a muscle standpoint. Hell, with how his quirk works and what we have seen in the manga and anime, we can't even guarantee he has wing bones.
That being all said. I'm just rambling, so ignore me. But I still prefer string bean Hawks over muscular Hawks :P
