#that’s the thing though.... hawks ships are either unhealthy or tragic or completely unrealistic or ALL AT ONCE

i posted a tweet about disliking endhawks and i got a LOT of hate for it. my take on hawks ships period is that he has to figure out who he is before jumping into the responsibility that is a relationship? would you agree? like, is that offensive to say? of course i think that hawks deserves love, i just think that from his life of work work work that he would need to step back and take care of himself first. thoughts? btw i cant believe u only have 200 followers i found such a gem of a blog

to add on to the shipping ask that i sent! i also just can’t imagine a whole relationship from two characters that have a colleague relationship (endhawks) or one where they literally have tried to kill each other (dabihawks) no hate to hawks shippers: you do you!!!!! but i just mean like i need to see some content in canon that could hint to a relationship before i ship anything, ya feel?

oh boy do i feel! you pretty much summed up my feelings on hawks shipping. nothing against those who do ship him, but i’m already uninterested in shipping for the most part, and since hawks doesn’t have any canon relationships that i find particularly compelling, it’s just not for me atm. sorry to hear u got hate! you don’t sound like you were being malicious, just stating an opinion, but people can get pretty defensive over ships :/

i’ve said similar things in the past about hawks needing to to find himself before entering a relationship! i don’t mean he needs to love himself to be loved or whatever bs, i mean he literally views himself as more of a tool for society than an actual person. on top of that, i think he’s got all kinds of issues with honesty and communication. he was never taught how to have actual human relationships—only how they work, and how to exploit that for his own gain. as he is i dont think he’s ready for a romantic relationship. he’d need to form honest to god human bonds that aren’t founded in deceit before he could be in a healthy, communicative relationship. imo. of course a relationship could help him find himself, but i think it would be a lot more messy than it is happy at first.

and yeahhh, none of the hawks ships really do it for me. i’ll read most of them but i’d choose gen any day. i also just don’t like how dabihawks is portrayed a lot of the time.... and if it’s canon compliant dabihawks (which i prefer bc it’s more interesting to me) there’s no damn way it could actually be a healthy relationship, so i have to suspend my disbelief to get into it.... hawks would have major trauma after this arc and seeing him get over it so suddenly to get with the man who burned him alive is ? questionable. (not shaming anyone, just my pickiness lmao).

(and aaah glad u like my blog! it’s pretty new so i’m surprised i even have that many followers haha)
