Snuggling can get kinda awkward when you're dealing with the whole wingspan, but they make it work.

Hawk's Nest, New York: The Hawk's Nest is a scenic location outside Port Jervis, New York high above the Delaware River on New York State Route 97. Its name is derived from the birds of prey that nest in the area. The location is also known for its winding roads and scenic overlooks in the Delaware River Valley. Route 97 was originally a one-lane dirt road built in 1859. Wikipedia

Hawks: Shit.

[mjrtaurus]

Dragon ruminating over the fate of Portgas D. Ace and how it started even before he was born with hundreds of women and babies from the South Blue being butchered just on the chance one of them was carrying the Pirate King's child. How he distanced himself from his own son for years out of the fear of this happening. He's seen how much hatred the world has towards children whose parents have been deemed criminals and now he has two more to fear that happening to. Gabriel probably won't be welcomed in Alabasta for years, if ever.

Aside from being physically identical to their clone fathers, Gryphon and Gabriel have already been unleashed upon would-be rebel nations by the World Government before their deprogramming. Some islands don't even have any concept of what cyborgs are, so they were seen as demons. And seas knows somebody like Vinsmoke Judge would love to reverse-engineer them to have more advanced clone soldiers who can fight from the earliest age possible. Dragon is so scared for the future of these boys, and Kuma's son, and all of the Seraphim.

It’s something that comes up in conversation with Crocodile after a few drinks.

Crocodile, like Nico Robin, is probably one of only a few who understand the horrors of what’s weighing on Dragon’s mind.

If it hadn’t been for Whitebeard claiming him as his own flesh and blood at God Valley, Crocodile would have been killed. The World Government wanted Xebec and whatever heirs he might have had dead, and it didn’t matter how many innocent children were murdered in order to get that done.

One of the things Crocodile had used his Warlord status to obtain was the records on this extermination. He didn’t have the clearance for it, true, but he did have plenty of money to pay off a few crooked archivists who did.

Of the dozens that had been slaughtered, only two had belonged to his half-siblings. A little girl who had only been five, and a baby boy who hadn’t even seen a year… every last one of the names listed had been a child that had been stolen from their bed, a home raided, a mother imprisoned, and a life snuffed out.

There was a damn good reason he stayed Portgas D. Ace’s execution.

It was the same reason why he and Dragon sent Luffy away to live in peace, far away from the cursed legacy of his fathers.

And now Gryphon and Gabriel were to be met with the same hostility from the World Government, and with far less sympathy from the civilian populace.

They knew Gryphon could endure with their support, he was a strong boy. It would be rough, but he could make it. But Gabriel? Poor Gabriel that wanted nothing but to make friends and play and be happy? No soul was more doomed to break under this senseless cruelty than his.

Crocodile is terrified of what is to become of sweet little Gabriel- Hayati, his life- if they fail to change the world.

Would he be frightened, like he had been? Would he be lonely, like he had been? Would he be bitter? Would he be angry? Would he be lonely? Would he be monstrous?

Would he be hopeless, like he had been?

i really wish people had more nuanced takes of hawks as a character

“oh hawks has never done anything wrong” “hawks they could never make me hate you” “hawks is evil” “snake” have you considered, maybe, that it doesn’t have to be black and white, that there is grey in between “victim” and “scum of the earth”.

sighs dreamily.. kicks my feet... twirls my hair.... stares out a window longingly..... thinking about having a bird quirk that's different from keigos but you nest together <33 getting a round bed and making a nest out of blankets and pillows and stuff like that and making a full comfy nest together <333 being surrounded by soft blankets while you cuddle god please i'm so lonely

[hotwings-incorrect-quotes]

dabi: *wakes up in the middle of the night and the only thing he sees is two wide open, golden eyes right before his face* WHAT THE FUCK KEIGO?!

hawks: pretty, shiny come to the nest

dabi: god... kei, so where are we now if not in the nest?

hawks: no, i mean the new one

dabi: what new... *he sighs, gets up and follows hawks to the other room collapsed with blankets, pillows, random branches and feathers*

dabi, mumbling: fucking spring

[bearratic]

To Hawks, in the spring do you participate in bird like courtships?

“I already show off my best assets all year round, you know, but i’m not a picky bird. So even in the winter months i’m available for… practice.”

[He hoards the bed with pillows and leaves feathers everywhere in spring. Also known as an absolute mess.]

Hello, Happy Labor Day to my U.S. folks.

Them: The chicken is too hot I can't eat it!

The CHICKEN:

his fucking smirk is making me feel other things—

[mishaswolfden]

you know when things go Bad and you catch yourself thinking "I just have to Be Better and More Productive about this" so you have to go no no no~!! and forcefully make a nest to settle down in.

as much as I've been Hardwired to overwork myself to exhaustion. I'm slowly Learning New Skills. and Im now aware that That Is Bad. so Im being put on timeout in the Soft Nest until I can think straight again.

Keigo’s absolute favorite memories are of the time he spent with de-aged Fumikage. He was stressed to the max over lying to the Commission, but it was the first vacation he’s ever taken and he got to spend it with the littlest bird trailing after him in his apartment that suddenly didn’t feel so empty.

He took hundreds of photos on his burner and stored them on a memory stick that he hid away. He never ever wanted the HPSC or anyone else to know about His chick, didn’t want them to taint them. So until he fully left the Commission he would move the memory stick somewhere new (under floorboards in the abandoned buildings he’d meet Dabi in, behind loose bricks in alleys, etc). He keeps those memories a secret for years, doesn’t even tell Touya or Tomura about them for a long time.

Thanks for playing love!
