snapshots of a stolen childhood

Had to update the old one now that we have more Hawks.

[tiredhawks]

Tumblr has the worst search known to man. So many old posts I want to find that are lost to the void.

[tiredhawks]

So I wrote a fic based on one of your older posts (crediting you in the author's note and linking to your post, but without asking your permission first, my apologies) and it's here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53100175 Just wanted to let you know that it was a great prompt and very cathartic to write

I actually used to have a note to say that all my ideas are free for use and all I ask for is a link to read but got a tad annoyed by the amount of times that people wouldn't let me know at all so no worries at all, I appreciate the callout a lot

Also the fic was absolutely gut wrenching 10/10 I loved it. There's something so wonderful (sinister) about Hawks experiencing love for the first time just to lose it and feel worse than he ever did because he truly knows what he's missing now. To think there's something wrong with him 🫶

Remember three years ago when I was like haha already started the sequel get ready and then never posted it

You know what gets me with the whole hating Hawks because of Twice thing, is that this is almost for sure not his first time doing something like that. At the time we didn't know that, sure, but we do now. Like what Lady Nagant said to him and her backstory? It's pretty much canon, short of just actually flat out saying it, that Hawks has killed "threats" before on orders to do so. It's part of his character. I understand of course if you don't like him for that, but objectively it's kind of funny when people go "he killed someone" like idk hun, you might want to make that plural.

If you ask me, Hawks should get a power-up like Maximum Ride and just randomly fly at superspeed one day. And then immediately calling Dabi to tell him he accidentally flew to China.

Dabi: You got on the wrong flight or something?

Hawks: No like, me. I flew here.

Dabi: ... What

[tiredhawks]

Highschool AU where Dabi is so jealous of Hawks that he just hyperfocuses on the only thing he has on him- money. It's become no secret that Hawks' family is in poverty and the school helps him out with a lot of things regarding lunches and uniforms. Yeah Hawks is the top of their class with the perfect quirk and perfect looks and perfect personality and perfect grades- but at least Dabi doesn't have an old phone covered in cracks or some cheap off-brand backpack with fraying straps.

So when they get paired to work together on a long term project, Dabi is actually ecstatic. They go to Dabi's house first. And then a few times after that too. That was all intentional, so he could make Hawks feel safe and then spring it on him last second. It's not fair to only use Dabi's house and important pro-hero stuff is going on there, they have to go to Hawks'. There's no choice. No they can't meet at a coffee shop, there'd be zero room to actually do their project in public. He finds the despaired look on Hawks' face pretty funny if he's being honest. For once he gets to see this perfect know-it-all knocked down a peg.

It all becomes pretty unfunny, though, when he gets to Hawks' "house". Dabi doesn't believe it deserves that title, and that's not even him being mean, it's just truthful. Because that's a shack. With several boarded up windows and no insulation and a roof that looks like it'll shake right off if the wind gets too much. The inside is worse. There's a woman sitting in front a shitty television that doesn't twitch as Hawks pulls Dabi right past her without a word. His room is the only clean part of the house, but it seems like a hopeless effort regardless. He can sweep all he wants, but the floor is stained and there's no storage for his belongings. For once, Dabi says nothing. He just sets up the project and does his best to ignore the tension in Hawks as they work in total silence.

It's odd, because he was so proud of himself a couple hours ago. He'd been planning this for weeks and it went so well. But when Hawks visibly flinches when a distant door slams open accompanied by a male voice- it doesn't feel like a victory at all. And when Dabi gets home that night and looks around himself, it's hard not to feel like the shittiest person on the planet.

The amount of people commenting on this about how shipping is more than fucking is driving me insane I'm literally asexual can you guys take a joke or do you need every contingency typed out for you like OBVIOUSLY 💀

Shipping isn't trying to explain why a relationship is actually canon. It's not even trying to explain why it should or could be canon. Shipping is saying "wouldn't it be funny if these two fucked" and everyone needs to remember that.

Corn beef hash should be 2 fucking dollars it's shlop in a tin can stop fucking with me America

[tiredhawks]

Just remembered the time I went on a business trip to Germany and when I got to the hotel I just was confused for an hour until the guy I traveled with sent me a text saying that you have to put the room key in the slot by the door. I didn't ask or anything he just sensed my confusion.

Enrichment dinner night!! 🥰🥰 (I dropped the food)

[tiredhawks]

Dabi, raving about the quarter million dollar cat Hawks has: "how did you get your hands on one of these. I didn't know you even liked cats."

Hawks, who never has any fucking clue what's going on his life: "she bit my ass when I was at a food stand then broke into my house."
