Ok, but can we talk about something… when people discuss Hawks’ popularity in fics, they always make him reach his fans through some kind of social media, but…
he’s actually pretty down to earth and I think this shows perfectly when we see him in Fukuoka with Endeavor
Like, this scene is meant to give the readers a real feel of just how popular and capable he is as a hero; he multitasks like he’s born to be one: he doesn’t even look at what’s going on, he just acts, as if sensing it instinctively.
But besides that I want you to take a closer look at what he’s doing. Saving a dog from a speeding truck because he knows that granny won’t ever be able to reach it on time; helping another granny with a walking cane carry her heavy bag across the stairs;
he’s not just known amongst the younger generations, but also with the old people. Meaning that he actually talks to them, and helps them out a little when he happens to be in the area. Heroes in the bnha society are kind of like idols, or celebrities of sorts. Less like cops and more like pop-culture figures. And yet he’s popular among the grannies. He’s so well-loved, and sort of gives-off the impression that they care about him like a grandson who’s gone places, not like a public safety officer.
has a social presence in the area, is what I’m trying to say
he’s also not very stuck-up about it?? he makes sure to pay attention to what everyone is trying to tell him, and keeps multitasking not to let anyone down even as he’s basically being swarmed by all that attention
also, look at that selfie. He doesn’t just smile, he does a peace sign to mirror her. It’s like he’s trying his best to answer in kind to the attention he receives
people are literally up in his space, some kids are even touching his feathers and crowding him from every angle, but he’s completely at ease ???
he even checks with the kid if it’s okay for him to ruin his stylish bag with his (probably messy) signature ????
Hawks is one of the most good-natured and genuine pro-heroes out there and we don’t acknowledge this enough.
Like, he acts as though everything he does, he does for PR purposes, but we can see that it’s not true based on how he behaves around his fans. And just saying, but we’ve seen him do that before, too
he pretends like he’s lazy, laidback, and somewhat not serious enough for the job, but he actually cares a whole fucking lot and is probably one of the most dedicated heroes out there
