Hey. I just want to talk. Are you the physical manifestation of the ultimate Hawks stan???? Do you personify the idea of galaxy-brained thoughts??? I'd be rich if I had a dime for every single time you Said The Thing We Hide Away In Our Deepest Desires Validating Them Or Introducing A New, Exciting Concept And Expanded With More Wonderful Thoughts!!!!

(+) That panel lives rent free in my head and comes in two flavors. "Aw, cute bby. Look at him hiding behind his fwuffy wittle jacket uwu, I love he! Squishy round face, hand gestures ahhh. Omg, awkward bby. He knows too much lol. Snoopy birb."

(+) And the other being fuel for the idea of Hawks letting slip little things to let the HPSC know to watch themselves, showing that they aren't the ones with the upper hand. He's dangerous! A weapon that you build can be used against you, and he's choosing to be obedient, but he knows them Very Well. Even the things they don't speak of, it doesn't escape his eyes.

(+) As for That Panel In Particular. Its such an awkward "whoops" moment, that you won't notice anything unless if you really think about it. Why did he choose that? It makes him seem less intimidating. Which can be useful! Making it seem like he recognizes mistakes, and doing that in front of the HPSC? Ahhh. I can't word it properly lol. Double purposes! But really, hiding behind his jacket? Its not just out of being caught, might be to hide his expression. Look at the hardness in his eyes.

(+) And he continues to have that in the next page! He also probably chose to let that info slip to question them on why they were sending him on such an immoral mission. When they already had plans, I wonder what reads as odd to him? Using the knowledge he has on their normal workings and decision making? I also think Hawks is aware of why they chose him. And its not just "sharp eyes and ears" as the President says. (Goofy Hawks is a great disguise, but not in front of them. So he drops it.)

(+) . Which! Notice how she's the only one who takes it in with stride, responding naturally? While the other guy responds to Hawks knowing something he shouldn't. Notice how Hawks automatically (and correctly!) assumes they're telling him to ignore the League's victims. Which goes against his very nature! Before they even said anything alluding to it. And the other guys eyes are all narrowed at him when confirming, so there's definitely some tension there.

(this is the post that prompted this btw)

aagdjdbdj as much as i’d like to call myself THE hawks stan there are people who’ve been at it longer than me! i’m just having fun over here :^) rest of my answer under the cut because this is p long already

i too am consumed by thoughts of Oh My God cute squishy baby stuffs face in jacket,..,.... hes so cute hhhhh i cant be coherent about this... anyway, what? oh, hawks’ tense relationship w the hpsc. we love to see it. two parties with a lot of history, the hpsc having the power by virtue of raising hawks but hawks not taking it lying down.

i hope we get more on the president and hawks! i imagine that they’re as intelligent as each other and and anyone in the room can viscerally feel that tension. hawks isn’t afraid to speak his mind and the president takes it in stride. she’s used to his back talk as much as a mother’s used to her child’s petulance, huh? (not that they have that kind of relationship..... maybe some weird mirror of it. she raised him through glass screens and indirect orders perhaps, not a real mother but a clinical substitute for one. hori please validate me)

not to seriously derail this into wild speculation abt hawks’ relationship with commission members, but damn you’ve made me interested. i get the feeling those other hpsc agents are more easily riled up by hawks than the president is (he likes messing with them probably....) and they wish she would put him in his place. but she knows hawks’ yapping is shallow and even a little entertaining so she lets him make himself feel better with it, until they both drop pretences and the room gets a little colder as they do. ooooh i want more interactions i want it,,

#sorry yeah i derailed that with headcanons. ur asks just inspired me #hawks #ask #long post #commission president #give us her name hori.... or keep her an intimidating unnamed figure that works too
