“And he was bored. Miserable, because he wasn’t useful. This could be useful.” Your Hawks is so……..genuinely obsessed with him believing that he took the presidency because of boredom instead of acknowledging that he was basically bred to be useful and that’s wrong. He is so unwelllllllllllll. Get this man to a trauma-informed therapist stat, perhaps a PHP
“Tsutsumi-kun insists she’s better off in jail. She wants to serve her time, even though Hawks insists he had her pardoned, since he has the power and all. Still—she’s indifferent.” Equally obsessed with this detail. Ik it’s canon, but I want to do a run-through of Horikoshi’s mind
“He reminds the family that if there’s anything he can do to help that he will. Anything.” Yes!!! His messed up, fantasy filial connection to Endeavor!!!!
Also if you kill Dabi for real, I might lose it. In my mind palace, he’s on house arrest forever and was healed with the best healing quirks the world has to offer. The Todoroki name has gotta count for something
““I’ll come up with something.” Hawks has no idea what he plans on coming up with.” <3
“Shucks,” Hawks says, “you’re gonna make me blush, Rei-san.” The constant performance……“So building a facade on how to act is… Unpredictable.” The fact that he can’t even conceive of just existing as he is. He has zero sense of self oughhh
“C’mon, Touya-kun,” Hawks says in the cheeky manner saves for all of the Todoroki Family. “Live a little. Cash in that favor that Jin-kun was so eager to throw away. You burned my back. Only makes sense for me to scratch yours, too, right?” And he’s still an asshole <3
“Which makes sense. Hawks didn’t know Dabi was Todoroki Touya. Dabi knew who Hawks was—who Hawks used to be, for an immeasurable amount of time.” They make me ill
Their little digs at each otherrrrrrrr
Also the way Hawks isn’t mad with power, but has also never been shown how to appropriately wield power so he just sees himself as the HPSC dictator ultimately. Yeah.
The constant flips between a kind-of normalcy and outright dislike is so them <3 yeah they cannot call each other by their real names but for opposite reasons. Waow their dynamic…you’re really getting to all of it
Also fascinated by Mera’s role in Hawks’ upbringing…where was this man and what does he knowwwwww
“He’s usually great at exercising forethought. But, he used to be great and precise about a lot of things before he met Dabi.” !!!
““You made yourself late by arguing with me in the first place,” Dabi retorts.” Why have I bar for bar had this conversation with the kids I work with
““Is there something you’d like to address with the President, Mera?” Hawks muses. “I believe we teach our agents to choose in the moment if directness or coyness is the best way to engage.” Mera looks ready to strangle him.” Like really…what is their dynamic
You’re a genius. Hawks would make Touya his bodyguard in some insane hare-brained scheme <3
Tokoyami mention ‼️
also, I am. Genuinely very interested in the idea of Hawks at one point showing that he absolutely does not need a bodyguard because he has his katana.
Also love the interspersed small clips of their past!!
Comment on all too well
