Such A Pretty Bird! 😍

So my friend and I have been having a disagreement about if canon Hawks and fanon Hawks would be good at playing poker. Opinions?

The way I see it, Canon Hawks at some point, would have been introduced to Poker, rules explained and he plays a few rounds. He isn't that great at first, but later down the line, he starts to memorizing the patterns needed to win. He becomes pretty good, and knows if he can win or not based on the others around him. Because of how social and emotionally intelligent he is, he can read the room and people around him. When he knows he has lost and is unable to bluff, he folds, but if he knows he can get away with it, he will press on.

Would he be good at poker? Not at first but eventually yes.

Fanon Hawks, would be a pro at it from the start, no questions asked, he would even use his feathers to slip cards and use his charm to distract the table as he cleaned house.

How I would imagine Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would interact with Y/N after seeing them again.

C.Hawks: "H- Oh I remember you, it was... Y/N right? Great to see you're doing well!"

Vs.

F.Hawks: "Hey there kid, haven't we met before? I sure hope a dove like you isn't stalking me, or else I'd have to punish you for doing so~."

The most heartbreaking thing about this panel/scene in general is that Hawks isn’t lying. It was supposed to be a lie. He’s supposed to be making up the most obscene things in order to trick the villains into thinking he’s on their side… but in this moment? Where he’s talking about the hero society turning out to be a bird cage that is locking him up? And how he wants to be free? It’s the honest to god truth and he knows it. Of all the times where he’s put on that fake smile, this is the one that actually looks painful.

Painful because it’s the truth. Painful because he has to use it as a lie. Painful because he’s never, ever opened up about it with anyone before but Twice, this man on the opposite side, his enemy… that he has started to grow attached to anyways. Hawks is bearing his heart to Jin in this moment, but he won’t ever know it. He’s going to be cut down, betrayed anyways because that’s just a part of this sickening job he’s stuck with to “protect people.”

Who will protect Hawks though, when he’s doing this mission singlehandedly, not being able to tell a soul about it? Who else is there to turn to but the villains around him? Little by little, he’s realizing more things about himself while infiltrating and it hits him harder than he could ever imagine.

Here, unlike his other half-hearted smiles, he can’t even open his eyes. He might actually show some emotion if he did that. He looks so… small and meager. He’s showing his teeth so awkwardly, like someone in complete submission, like someone who’s acting like it’s all okay but can crumble at any given moment. He’s crying out for help.

That moment when you want to talk about specific moments from the Manga, but don't want to spoil the Anime only folk.

So Hawks has [Redacted] [Redacted] which means his [Redacted] will never be the same. My question is how did [Redacted] notice them, like are the [Redacted] that different from his [Redacted]? In the Manga you could barely notice it.

I wanna here your opinion on this

I honestly think Hawks is kinda weird and I know it's probably due to the way he was brought up. But he got those weird little quirks that makes you think like "oh that's not a normal thing."

Idk maybe I'm reading to much into it. Like I personally think his real smile is more awkward. Like when he smiled at Twice or when he was smiling/talking to lady nagant.

I think the stuff he does like saying "I'm home" at an empty apartment (that not even his) and thinks calling an empty supply closet (or was it a studio apartment?) a home seems kinda weird and sad.

I kinda wonder what weird things he does in a relationship and thinks to himself "ah yes, doing this in a relationship is definitely normal human behavior." Like maybe he knows a little bit too much about his S/O just to impress them but it comes off weird.

S/O: I love this (*insert interest*) it's so cool

Hawks: oh you mean that (*goes on a ramble about said interest and about other things his (S/O) likes*)

S/O: how did you know that, I never told you that before.

Hawks: I-...

He's conically nosey too so he'll definitely love to here about the latest drama/tea his S/O has.

We can all agree, Hawks is a bit weird. But we love him for that. Like, imagine being normal? So boring! And yes, some things Hawks does, isn't the "human norm". And to be honest, Hawks isn't normal. He grew up in a poor household, was neglected. Then was sold off to the commission, in which, AS A CHILD, trained day-in and day-out to become the perfect soldier, or in his brain, "a hero". Then when we see how he acts during the hero rankings, he is outright bored, and is able to read the room quite well. The event mainly brings small comfort to the people, but everyone is still on edge after All Might retires, and rather than letting the population give in to false hope, he gives a speech on why everything the other 7 are saying is bullshit. Basically calling them all out. I say 7 because, Jeanist isnt there, Hawks hadn't said anything just yet, and Endeavor still hadn't gone.

Hawks, IMO, is a realist. Doesn't care about false hopes, or pretty little lies to keep everyone safe and comfortable. He is aware of his own weaknesses, and works to improve himself along with keeping the population safe. Hell, when he talks to twice about the commission, he speaks the truth on how he feels. Hawks feels a connection with Twice, and truely wants to save him rather than what the commission wants him to do.

When he talks to Lady Nagant, he can be truthful with her and even through all the hell he has been through, he still smiles because as he said, he is an optomist. Hawks, after his fight with Dabi, and unable to speak for a long period, his first words, are about him no longer being caged and no one holding him down. He is free to do what he wants, and what does he do? HE CONTINUES TO BE A HERO! He commits to what he has wanted to be since he was a child! And this time, he can do what he wants!

Now, with having a significant other, if ever. Hawks would be the nosey type, he always has been nosey. However, Hawks also is a master in the arts of acting. He knows how to play the part, and would do what he can to take care of his partner. Hawks wouldn't seem like the type to pursue someone who is clingy, but perhaps someone who can take care of themselves quite fine and just with him for companionship and comfort. Someone who isn't in Hawks space all the time, would make it easier for him, and in fact would give him a reason to not be as skeptical and nosey. He would gain more trust in his partner.

Hawks is goofy, funny, serious when he needs to be, stupidly smart, fast, and powerful. He complains that he isn't strong and is useless against power types,but Hawks is strong in other ways. And we love him for that.

Saw that communities are now a thing, so I made one for our favorite bird man!

Haha funny, okay not really but my neighbor's apartment caught on fire and I live in the same building complex. Every is smokey. I'm fine though.

New headcanon of mine is that at some point, the Softbank Hawks baseball team sponsored Hawks and had him as their mascot for the time of his sponsorship, which causes a popularity boost for their team. This, and Hawks unironnicaly loves baseball.

I own 2 now XD lmao wait...
