Now That Asks Are Open Again, I'll Go For A Fandom Favorite (you Don't Have To Answer If You Don't Want

Current brain rot is Dabi being protective of Hawks before they meet up again as adults. When the LOV is in a meeting with another group and they bring up targeting Hawks, everyone pauses and looks to Dabi for direction because he made it clear that the No. 2 hero will not be one of their targets. When Hawks turned 18, Dabi had the news on constantly to catch his debut and after all these years finally see and hear about Keigo again, even if its from a distance. When Hawks is up against quirks he struggles against, Dabi keeps himself in the area. Just in case.

When Hawks meets up with him, Dabi wants to be upset. He wants to be angry that someone is forcing his Keigo to put himself in this dangerous situation. That they'd force Hawks to be corrupted by hanging around people like him. He wants to be angry, but he's too busy searching every inch of Hawks' face for changes that couldn't be seen on TV or in pictures.

Fandom Etiquette

I’ve been around for a really long time in various fandoms, and no one ever writes this stuff down. I’ll start. Please add to the list. We can’t expect people to follow “rules” they don’t know exist. 

written with the help of @unbreakablejemmasimmons

Fanart

if you like something, reblog it. Help the artist get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you. 

if you want more of it, support it. This can be via commissions, reblogs, recommending the artist to other people, shouting in the tags, or sending the artist asks/messages. 

if you hate it, keep scrolling. Keep the hate in a message window with a friend, not in the artist’s notes. 

if you want to use it, ask permission. Artwork is beautiful and you want to show it off. But please ask the artist before you throw it into your header or your icon. 

if you use it, give credit. And not just a post where you say “Do you like my new icon? X made it!”. Put it in your blog description, that way when someone rolls around your blog three months from now, they also know where your icon/header came from. 

Fanfic

if you like something, reblog it. Help the author get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.

if you want more of it, support it. Kudos are fine, but if you want more of the thing you like, you should comment. Subscribe to the story or the author. Send them a message about how much you like what they wrote. 

if you read it, kudos it. Or give it a thumbs up. And this is just if you managed to get all the way to the end. If you finished the story and you actually liked it? Comment and reblog. 

don’t demand content. Be patient. Stories take time. You can encourage without being demanding. Show your love for what’s there without telling them to post more often. 

be gentle with criticism. Some people want it and some people run away from it. If you don’t know what type of person the author is, it’s best not to go there. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”

Fandom

ship and let ship. You love your ship and other people love theirs. No one needs to “win” when we’re all going to end up in tears anyway. 

if you hate it, stay out of the tag. This has two meanings: 1) don’t deliberately put hateful commentary in a tag and 2) if you  hate a tag, don’t go and read through that tag just to make yourself angry

if someone makes you something, appreciate it. Read and comment the fic. Like and reblog the artwork. Pimp it out and tell them how much you loved it. It’s a gift, treat it like one. 

if it’s a gift, put some effort into it. You signed up for that exchange three months ago and now it’s a week before you have to send the gift and you don’t have the time or the inclination to do the thing. Well too bad. Someone out there has been working hard in your gift, so you should do the same for them. 

none of us are “better” than anyone else. We’re all trash for our particular show/film/book/ship/artist/what-have-you. My fave is no better than yours and yours is no better than mine. 

actors are not their characters. They are people. Treat them like people. 

I find it so amusing how fast Hawks can run backwards, especially after falling and hitting his back on the roof of a building rather harshly. Man is zooming, backwards forwards side to side. Hawks is speed. All while controlling his feathers to pick up debris and move them from harming others. 😭😭

How I imagine Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would react to Y/N being flirted with by someone else who is making Y/N uncomfortable.

C.Hawks: *very casual and calm, doesn't even care because you and him are not a couple. Then he notices how visibly uncomfortable you are getting so he decided to tell the person to leave you alone. The person doesn't stop and he sees that Y/N is starting to back up a bit as the person gets closer, which makes Hawks push the person away repeating himself telling them to back off, in a more aggressive tone. After the person leaves he turns asking if you are okay.*

Vs.

F.Hawks: *Wings are puffed up, but is smiling trying to look casual. Seeing how you are uncomfortable, he decides to insert himself between you and the person flirting with you, in an attempt to get them to leave, while also being very passive aggressive. The person who was flirting with you now starts to feel uncomfortable as he is now all over you, with his arm around you and he pulls you closer, asking if this guy is bothering you, whilst also being semi flirty/affectionate towards you, and glaring at the person. After the person leaves, he sighs and shakes his head, going on about how 'some people just can't take a hint'. *

This? *chef's kiss*

Dabi: Okay, we gotta get through this locked door. Hawks, quick, give me your credit card.

Hawks: [hands over the card] Here.

Dabi: [pocketing the card] Cool. Tomura, disintegrate the door.

My procrastination levels have skyrocketed this month. I need more Hawks content to steer me back to writing. Someone feed my addiction please.

How I would imagine Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would interact with Y/N after they tell him happy birthday.

C.Hawks: "Hey- oh, thanks for wishing me a happy birthday! I hope yours will be just as great!"

Vs.

F.Hawks: "Thanks for the birthday wishes, birdie. Though... I think having you as my birthday present will really make my birthday a lot better~."

Also big happy birthday to the best bird boy, Hawks!

Just realized that season 6 is right around the corner. I AM NOT READY FOR WEAK VOICE, RECOVERING, AND OPTOMISTIC HAWKS AKFIWOGOWJ

I guess I should make this announcement due to the number of asks I have been getting. But anyway, I have the freedom to choose what I answer, and there are some I will not answer on this blog, just because they ask are very specific or explicit. And because minors have access to media, and some, do have access to my account and a majority of others. Now I don't see them as "very explicit", but others may and I just rather be on the safer side of things for now.

Now then, I will be fine to answer those on my other blog/account, Hawksinabowl, because that one is meant to be more 18+ with the rp, requests, asks. So if you do want me to answer asks that are very explicit or very specific. Any type of 18+ asks/requests/submissions can be posted on that on that account. I would prefer to keep Hawksinacup, more... wacky shenanigans, and fun. Hope you all understand.

Also please note, that me, getting to asks/resquests are slowed down due to having to take care of a puppy.

That moment when you want to go onto AO3 to find a new fic to read, but then remember you haven't read the latest MHA chapter so you do that instead. Then after that you get hungry and eat waffles only to remember that you were planning on going onto AO3.
