#personally i can never forgive hawks for this even tho it's a bit more nuanced than that ☝🏻

i love hawks as a character and i love how he interacts with Other characters especially endeavor. i love their relationship and the way hawks comes off almost like an airhead and it pisses enji off meanwhile hawks is doing this super secret investigation right under his nose and then endeavor ends up being the only person hawks feels like he can trust with information about the PLF and obviously that kinda reframes hawks and endeavor's entire relationship because now endeavor is finding out hawks isn't at all who he thought he was and i just Love it okay? but as much as i love him i can't ever look past the stuff with twice. i think it was a bit easier in the anime cause it didn't hit as hard (although i still cried there too lmao) but in the manga it feels so much more visceral and i just cantttttt. i know he saw the good in twice and ultimately advocated for trying to get him out of there and i know he Tried and tried and tried and there just wasn't anything he could really do at that point but Ugh. it's just so sad 😭 like as much as i like hawks, my sympathy for twice overpowers literally any justification i can make for hawks. i know hawks didn't want to kill him and i know he did probably all he could in that moment (although who knows im maybe just saying that bc i like him lmao) but i just wish he'd done more :( i don't even know what that would look like but i wish it had played out differently. i guess im glad that if twice were to face any hero at all, that it was hawks instead of someone who couldn't see the good and humanity in him despite his status as a villain.
