Thinking back to when Hawks first debuts in the manga and anime, we get to see how his feathers work. And now thinking of it, he actually did gain his mother's quirk. Normal feathers can't pick up the vibrations of an entire person, let alone see. Yet we see that Hawks is able to "see" with his feathers, when he focuses and listens to the vibrations, he is able to visualize in his mind exactly what caused the vibration and if it's a person, who that person is. MEANING. That instead of having extra floating eyes that allow him to see. His wings are so sensitive to sounds that he can literally paint a picture in his mind from the vibrations alone. His wings are a second or rather, hundreds of sets of eyes. So he did get his mother's quirk, just not in the same form as hers.
Tempted to re-read @sleepwalkersqueen 's Fear of You....
Fuck it, Ima do it.
Look at the boys!
Some old DabiHawks sketches
Fanon Hawks: Be gay! Do crimes!
Canon Hawks: No. Do not do crimes.
Fanon Hawks: Then... Be gay?
Canon Hawks: Be gay, but don't do crimes.
Fanon Hawks: Hmm fine.
*Fanon calls Fanon Dabi*
Fanon Hawks: We can be gay, but we can't burn down the commission.
Canon Hawks: ... Wait-
Fanon Hawks: Sorry, you said no crimes.
Canon: 👁👄👁
Mmm next chapter, next chapter. What to write for it. I got a few ideas, hmmm
How I imagine Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would react to seeing you being pushed around and even falling in a large crowd of people that are his fans.
Canon Hawks, seeing this would tell the crowd to spread out and be careful, and when they become overbearing, they ignore him. Now bothered by this, he spreads his wings to get everyone's attention. They move aside as he walks towards you and holds a hand to help you up. Everyone now aware of this, feel guilty for not listening and potentially harming a civilian. He asks if you are okay, then proceeds to tell the crowd as to why you should listen the first time. So things like this don't happen.
Vs.
Fanon Hawks, seeing you fall in the crowd of fans, would move away from you, and have the crowd follow, then after they are away, he would fly up and over to you to ask if you are okay. Seeing that you are, he would apologize for his fans being so pushy.
I've given up on being in a relationship. If you don't meet my fictional character standards, I don't want any.
F.Hawks: Hey have you seen my boyfriend?
C.Hawks: If you mean the psychotic arsonist that is currently asleep on the couch? Yes, I have.
F.Hawks: Thanks.
C.Hawks: Please leave my home and go somewhere else.
F.Hawks: Sorry, because I'm a wanted criminal with a track record of murder and arson, I can't actually buy a place to live.
C.Hawks: You're what.
New headcanon of mine is that at some point, the Softbank Hawks baseball team sponsored Hawks and had him as their mascot for the time of his sponsorship, which causes a popularity boost for their team. This, and Hawks unironnicaly loves baseball.
F.Hawks: I absolutely love cats! Especially ones that are tall, dark, and handsome.
C.Hawks: Are... you saying you love an animal that is known for hunting birds for sport?
F.Hawks: ....
F.Hawks: Dabi doesn't hunt birds for sport!
C.Hawks: Of course you're talking about Dabi.
