I was thinking about my favourite ships (in mha) especially rare pairs. Dabihawks is one of my favourite ships but I love Hawks so most other ships I like/love are Hawks x someone. The ship I was thinking of was shigahawks and a lot of people don't like this ship which I think is fair but I want to rant about why I like them as a pairing and how they compare to why I ship Dabihawks.
Spoilers for the manga/anime if you haven't read/watched it yet but want to.

I love the way Hawks and Shigaraki could have ended up as each other if they had been found/trained by each others abusers. Keigo grew up poor in an extremely abusive household with no idea heroes are real but still having hope in life, he was homeless after his fathers arrest but he had hope because heroes are real. Keigo became Hawks when the hero commission forced him to give up his name and then groomed him until he was 18 and continued to use/control him until they died by using the whole "you could be a hero like the person who saved you" situation. Had Keigo been found by All for One he could have 100% used the same situation in a different light "the heroes saved you from your father but they left you to die, they don't care about you they care about getting the next big bad" and Hawks (he probably would still go by Keigo but we ball) could have been like Shigaraki. Tenko grew up comfortable (money wise) but he had an abusive father and a mother who couldn't/wouldn't defend him (like Hawks). While Keigo's dad was a famous villain, Tenko's grandmother was the number one hero and he looked up to her with so much admiration and love. Obviously after his parents and the rest of his family met a tragic death Tenko was homeless but he still had hope in people and heroes the simple thing was that he never got saved. Had he been 'saved' by the hero commission he would have become a hero. They are so similar it's really just their luck or lack there of is how they ended up as they did. Which I think could give them an amazing understanding for each other I don't think they would be healthy (I like my ships that way in case you couldn't tell) but I do think they would get together by mutual understanding and being touch starved. I ship them for the same reason I ship Dabihawks but I personally like them better because they were failed in childhood the same way and failed in adulthood the same way. Also in the universe they are together they either both die in the war or they both survive or secret third opinion they both survive but Shigaraki gets the death penalty because he killed a bunch of people.
