prey as predator; the angel of death; the last of your kind; fallen from grace; death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Very Headcanon Based. This blog follows fan theories of Mihawk being a Celestial Dragon with original lore. This blog will inevitably become an AU/Canon Divergent as Oda actually addresses Mihawk's background.
Very OC friendly ❤️ // Dupe Cautious, but Open ⚠️
Crossover Friendly

I dont mind spoilers.
Penned by The Reverend, aka Rev
My Mihawk is heavily affiliated lorewise with my Crocodile (@sircrocodillian ) These two blogs go hand-in-hand!
Rules under Cut
My name is Rev. 35+. Autistic. I am a he/they butch lesbian. Over 25 years of writing and rp experience under my belt. I am Old and I am Tired. I am married and currently work in archives. I am actually an ordained minister with Dudeism, a Dudeist Priest if you will, so this blog runs on vibes, 🍃, and a piece of string.
My rules are pretty straight forward
mutuals only. anon is always off.
Primarily iconless
Formatting is pretty basic. At most I do small text. I don't care too much on graphics. I will occasionally do aesthetic posts.
I try to keep politics off my blog, unless it's in verse poltics, which is very likely to happen. I love writing political intrigue and stuff, but refrain from real world parallels.
This blog is very headcanon heavy. Please refer to my lore/headcanon tags as needed. With as little information we have on Mihawk in Canon, I will go very into my own lore. It's my rp blog and I can do that. I'm not wanting to be the 'best' Mihawk nor am I trying to adhere concretely to Canon. This is for fun.
Regarding Cross Guild, I think the dynamic of Cross Guild can lead to some fascinating character dynamics and interactions. It's also important for Mihawk's character. However, I know how rpcs can get about interactions that highlight abusive relationships, so if that squicks you out, I'll tag anything mentioning Cross Guild accordingly.
Due to my age, I prefer to only rp and engage with other muns who are over the age of 25. Smut/NSFW will ONLY be with muns older than 30. No mun name/no age = blocked.
This is not a 'no drama' or 'good vibes only' toxic positivity waste dump. This is not a 'i dont do drama!!' rule. I believe the 'you dont owe anyone anything' mindset can lead to very toxic results. I hate misuse of 'therapy speak'. I don't think that relationships are 'transactional'. Sometimes, people need to vent. Sometimes, people need to get their feelings out so they can work through them. I believe that conflict resolution is healthy and necessary for relationships. Please do not be afraid to approach or discuss matters with me if they are deemed necessary. I will always hear you out first before I make my own conclusions.
I will tag common triggers liberally with *trigger cw* as the tag. If you would like something tagged, please let me know.
Don't be a dick. I have a busy real life including a full time job and earning my second Master's Degree. My rp blogs are for me to do a passion I have had for a long time, but they are low priority. This is not a job. I will block liberally if I feel my boundaries are being crossed. That being said, I rp to make friends and share passions. Please don't be afraid to approach me, even if we are non-mutuals. I will always respect your time.
Muse is well into his 40s and is a mature adult. I enjoy exploring all manner of relationships, be it romantic, sexual, platonic, familial, ect. However, I will not accept romantic or sexual ships aimed at him for muses younger than 30. If you're strictly here for the potential for smut, this isn't the blog for you. This is for what I am comfortable with writing, not meant to be judgemental.
I ship with Chemistry. I am a Mishanks Shipper and a CrocHawk shipper , but I am open to most things (as long as they're SSC and do not violate my age rules) . If you're open to a Ship, chances are I might be as well.
I am multi-ship. Each ship is independent and develops within its own verse. I might only change this if the partners I ship with start wanting to branch out into somehing effecting multip blogs.
I don't police peoples writing. Please don't police mine. If you're the sort who has a dni a mile long, we're not gonna be compatible. Live and Let Live. I do ask that if you do write smut involving incest or underage characters to please tag this for my own blacklisting. I am anti-censorship, but these topics make me uncomfortable and I wish to not engage with them personally. I do not judge those who explore topics in FICTIONAL scenarios, but I put up my own boundaries.
If you actively use AI in your direct, person facing writing, then I take you gently by the hand and ask you why are you in this hobby to begin with. I write with other humans, please.
If you're a person with a cognitive thinking system, I'm going to assume you agree with the phrase that MUN =/= MUSE.
If you can get passed my 'old man' tone, then welcome to my little passion project and I hope to collaborate with you all in the future
“Well now… look at you, finally playing along,” Shanks purrs, voice warm and teasing. “Mother, huh? Never thought I’d hear that pretty title come out of your mouth.”
He's going to take the mature route and not ask Mihawk to punish him for he's been a naughty boy. But do note that it took considerable effort on his part.
"And you probably won't ever hear it again, Red-Hair, if you push your limits." Mihawk tutted. "Come back to me when that head of yours isn't filled with nasty thoughts."
I typically don't really like the whole 'mihawk is autistic' thing cause it feels like it relies way too much on stereotypes, but my one 'mihawk probably is autistic' thought is I think he is a toe walker.
"One day, that is all I will want to do. But it isn't time for me to run away. Not yet."
Ah, how very straightforward of him, he thinks.
There’s seldom times where Mihawk hesitates to say how he feels — only opting to say so much if the subject is particularly complicated or requires room for thought. However, there are times, rare as they may be, where he finds the man holds back from saying how he truly feels. Sometimes he says just enough to placate himself — rather than the one he's addressing.
〈 He often wonders if it’s because he thinks his dreams are unobtainable ... or maybe, just maybe, he hasn’t had the time to think about his dreams at all. 〉
It’s kind of sad, if he thinks about it, his beautiful little bird … caged not by the world but by the mind. If only he dared to spread his wings more often, he’d be able to see how free he really is.
Scrunching up his face as lips connect to cheek, he puts on his best pout. An over-the-top display of greed manifesting at once, as he soon reaches out to take ahold of the man and pull him back in.
"Now now, that's just cruel — " Palm shifting from sturdy hip to the lower of the man's back, he urges him closer. "You can't just dangle meat in front of a starving man and refuse him a bite !"
In a world set full of dreams, what did Mihawk think of when he drifted off into his time alone? And for the mighty swordsman, the question was more 'how often was he with another' compared to 'how often was he alone'. Mihawk spent most of his time alone, either in his abandoned castle on Kuraigana or adrift at sea. When he would rest his head and slip into slumber, there were very little dreams that the swordsman could feel.
He had lost those ages ago.
Now all he dreamed of was a chance to rest.
A singular eye closed as he felt the kiss on his cheek. While Mihawk was not the manner of man to showcase outwards displays of affection, he knew his lover was of a different breed. If Shanks had his way, Mihawk would be kissed every minute of every hour, much to his chagrin, but the swordsman made little effort to fight him off. Instead, he just let the other place affection on him and, inwardly, he enjoyed it.
"Haven't you learned the art of patience?"
Oh, now that? That was a tease, and it was evident in the way Mihawk had the faintest telltale hint of a smirk. A ghosting of a smile. Ever so quick that it might disappear in a moment and he would deny the plausibility it had ever been there at all.
"Isn't the meal ever so pleasant to the man who is starving? Do they inhale their meal, or do they savor it?"
"Do you always have to think about these things? Can't you ever just feel?" He asks with a soft chuckle, head canting somewhat as his gaze sweeps across the Swordsman's face.
He hadn't meant for him to get all philosophical on him. Hell, he hadn't really had any ulterior motives at all. In fact, spending the night with an old friend for the first time in ages simply left him feeling ... nostalgic; prompting him to say whatever it is that came to mind, with very little forethought.
Not that it mattered, much.
"That's not very fair, you know. Who said anything about going at it alone? It's not so bad to have others to rely on, who also rely on you." His mind flickers briefly with an image of such; of them two, like this, only situated in his Captain's quarters with the steady rocking of the ocean beneath them, rather than being stagnant in some seedy motel.
A man could get used to that.
"You should try it, for once. Hell — you might just find that you enjoy it !"
The Warlord kept his gaze focused on Shanks' features, unblinking. To most, the gesture might be unnerving, but the Red Haired had never seemed to take it as such. In every gesture, Shanks met Mihawk, and they would continue this dance until one stepped away. Who might that be, though? For now, Mihawk, deep down, did not want to cancel this dance.
Instead, his fingertips moved up to play with a strand of loose red hair that had fallen over Shanks' ear.
Though Mihawk was not the manner of man to wear his emotions on his sleeve, he certainly seethed them in his words. The man thought broad, and he thought deep. A simply statement blurted out of Shanks' mouth would be taken for every essence it might give by the stoic swordsman.
Fingers continued to play with that strand of hair.
"That is the fundamental difference between the two of us, isn't it?" He offered before he dropped his hand and tucked it up against Shanks' neck. "How often have you been disappointed by your crew?"
💌 special delivery: @drculeeyed | one-liners galore! (accepting!)
“So you're tellin me . . . even though I've done everything you’ve asked, and I still can’t spar with you?” He groans between ragged breaths. Perhaps sobriety is influencing his sour mood.
Arms remained crossed over his chest as Mihawk looked down towards the young swordsman. There was no malice in those hawk eyes, though trying to read any emotion on the Warlord's face was probably frustrating. The man was a blank slate, a mirror for someone else to cascade themselves off of and come up feeling wanting.
"You have done everything I have asked, yes. For that, I cannot fault you your aptitude, young Roronoa." Mihawk sighed as he dipped the last drops of his wine into his mouth to swallow. "Yet, something hinders you. There are still shackles that you have yet to shed."
*rubs hands together* okay Im doing to do my drafts. I'm gonna delete my inbox though unless there's something I REALLY want to write there but I'm semi clean slating it. I'm keeping stuff for Nate for sure cause I owe nate on....everything LMAO but Mihawk is active
// i wish i could look up King in Yellow stuff and its about the actual book / play / carcosa and not the three different pieces of media that have swiped KIY as a character//
Im thinking about how I read that Mihawk just seems to be the one who Notes when someone has potential and recognizes their power. Like with Luffy where he just clocked that kid from first encounter that he was special and was going to be the thing that turns the world on its head. Also with how he noted Zoro had true potential to overcome him while he just knocks most contenders away without a notion of sense.
Mihawk as an Oracle or Seer theme. Something something
