Band au Toga playing this????
bro is failing the nonchalant act
the core of dabis character is that he's a front line soldier in the idgaf war, but he's constantly losing
#dabihawks Post-war where Hawks visits Dabi in prison because there's something he needs to work out. For himself, for the both of them, who knows? They're a fucked up pair matched in hell.
And they have these heated exchanges where Dabi riles Hawks up all the time and then still asks for him to come like Hawks didn't walk out that day with bruised knuckles and Dabi's laughter ringing in his ears, blood trailing down his lips.
For reasons he still hasn't figured out, Hawks always does show up. Like some kind of fucked up clockwork. Like this, is ever going to be closure that he needs. Like Dabi, is the only one who can figure him out. See right through him. Even if it's another taunt, another cut right to the core and sets everything inside of him on fire—
"You know in another life, you might've tried to save me. Becuase that's what good heroes do, don't they?"
And Hawks wants to stab a feather right through those scarred hands, the same way that he wants to kiss his bloody lips.
He hates him. He wants to save him. He still wants him. Desperately and unforgivably.
So if Hawks secretly throws himself into studying law, what of it? The legality isn't so far from what he's already known as a hero and passing the bar is just another exam in the number of many that he'd excelled at years ago. Regulations just requires him to get hands on practice first.
He can do it. In a few years time, he'll become a lawyer.
And free Dabi.
Becuase there's no other life than this one, where he bores gold eyes into the blue of Dabi's soul and throws out in the most sarcastic kind of way—
"Aw sweetheart, what do you want me to do? Turn into a lawyer? Get you out? File an appeal?"
It is exactly what he does.
(insp. by Daredevil 'in another life, you might be defending me')
For day 3 of that fem dabihawks event 🙏 fantasy au this time
You denying the kiss Hawks deserve?! Oh! Oh! Jail for Dabi ! jail for one thousand years ! ! !
You know what ruins me ?
The sibling bonds in demon slayer.
Usually i think about the shinazugawa siblings but NO. IM TALKING ABOUT THE KAMADOS TODAY
Imagine the pain of having to watch your sibling go through it time and time again just to protect you ? And the worst part is that it's applied both ways. Well it's not the worst because I think demon slayer is so good at showing what lengths you would go for your loved ones.
What takes me out every sing darn time is the first time tanjirou is trying to save nezuko. Imagine, he was walking home after a typical day, and a night spent away from his family, completely unassuming of what his neighbour had unintentionally saved him from.
That is, until he smells blood. Imagine the fear that makes his heart, his heart that has been raised to love and care, drop and ache with paranoia.
And then he's met with the horrible sight of nezuko, his closest sibling, resting in a pool of her own blood that stains everything, from her hair, to her face, to her clothes, to the child in her arms, to the snow that they lie one, to the snow that falls gently on them. His soul is already grieving despite the fact that all he feels is despair and confusion .
And demon slayer does a really good job at conveying that hurt and panic through they way they animated the scene:
And nothing is said, tanjirou just screams, devastated by the scene in front of him. What does he do ?
He must've felt the world just crashing around him as all that matters to him is taken away in the most cruel way possible.
As an older sibling, I can't even fathom the idea of losing my younger brother. Granted, he's not that young anymore. He's always going to be a baby to me. So when I first saw this scene, all I could imagine was the heartbreak tanjirou must feel. As well as the feelings of failure as he wasn't even there to protect his siblings.
THE PAIN DOESNT EVEN STOP THERE GUYS.
I think it's common knowledge that tajirous first reaction to his whole family being slaughtered isn't instant tears. It's just shock and disbelief that something so horrific has happened to him.
Even after he's processed that, his second reaction is to check if anyone is still alive. Which to me is just
BECAUSE HOW ELSE WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS STILL WARM ? HOW WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS THE ONLY ONE THATS WARM ???
imagine the rush of adrenaline his body gets when he realises that nezuko could still be alive ? Once again, Ufotable delivers with the portrayal of this as you can see it tanjirou's body language. The way nezuko has been hastily wrapped up to preserve as much of the little body heat she's still producing. The way tanjirou is moving as fast as he can as a 13 year old kid with another 12 year old on top of him. The way he literally says that his lungs feel on fire but he keeps pushing on because it's his little sister.
It's heart breaking.
Guys the kamado siblings actually have me in a clutch. They care so much for each other that it's so cute but devastating at the same time. I think this is one of the main reasons why I think that nezuko is the sole reason as to why tanjirou hasn't gone fully insane yet.
I mean, the guy sees ghosts at like every corner, but he doesn't even bat an eye. He has two very loud and hyper friends that he's constantly surrounded with. And a breathing technique literally no one has seen in a thousand years. And he questions none of it bruh, his sister is in his backpack. He's fine. There's literally nothing to worry about. lmao tanjirou is so funny for that *sighs sadly
tanjirou's grief is lowkey overlooked sometimes. It's cute that nezuko and tanjirou care for each other but it's also so sad to me as to why they are so close.
Hawks Headcanons
bc he's the love of my life (also spoilers for post II War arc)
Has a slight tan from being up in the sky all the time
Has freakishly long nails that he usually trims
Prefers his apartment to have a "psychiatric ward" look to it
Also probably autistic (theres gonna b a lot of that) he's just better at masking
Passive to a fault.
Has joked about kissing a man once in front of an interviewer and tried to laugh it off (he was not joking)
Secret Introvert. He's super quiet if he's comfortable around you. It's kinda scary
After he lost his wings he had to learn how to drive and absolutely hates it. He can't drive for shit 💀
He also hates being in airplanes. Anything flying that he cant control is an automatic no.
Not a cat person lol
Emotionally intelligent enough to be able to read other people's emotions like a book but not enough to talk about his own.
Has double fangs 😋
Huge foodie. this man can EAT
Not a huge consumer like at all. The HPSC ends up buying stuff for him a majority of the time.
Still has that dirty ass Endeavor plushie on his bed.
Is an advid pop and RnB listener (rip Hawks you would've loved Chappel Roan)
Even when he does retire his Hero name it still feels weird to here ppl say his real name. He even prefers if they still call him Hawks.
He's a compulsive liar.
His wings get dirty asf after a full shift
He doesn't admit it but he's into that toxic shit 🤭(Dabi lmao)
Bisexual
Would be a gamer if he had any time
has zero fashion sense
He and Dabi have fucked idk what to tell you
Has assassinated ppl before; most likely during his teenage years. gotta make him useful somehow.
He's so incredibly lonely it makes me cry. Someone hug him.
Me and him:
