Happy Easter everyone (who celebrates or observes the holiday)! I don't have much to say about it just that I wanted to make a post.

Stumbled on this and it’s been on repeat in my brain for days! Such a fun glimpse into a what-if world where heroes have time on their hands 😸

Casual reminder that we would be nothing without black trans women

WIP this. This is what got me out of my drawing funk. Alright then.

Also his hair is making me struggle so bad y'all

I'll be probably posting the TOH drawings (especially that one wip I showed) after Halloween. My art motivation is in the toilet so it's just a bit harder than expected.

I also have to work on a better intro post but that can wait a bit.

I hope y'all know I'm not uh changing my main fandom rn. I might return to TOH at some point but I'm still heavily stuck in MHA/BNHA like this anime/manga series consumes me. There's no way I can hop back and forth rn. I tried, that's how I got fully sucked into MHA again like I did in 8th grade around July.

They are right, the fandom you had when you were 13 does come back to haunt you. Cuz I'm 20 now and MHA is what came back to haunt me /pos

Spoilers for the Vigilantes Manga specifically the School Days Arc because that's what I have to talk about with Hizashi mostly.

Alright here we go. Starting off with the screenshots from my Twitter (a portion is cut out of one because the response was from the OG just talking about how Hizashi was just a boy/kid when they lost Oboro)

(link to the og thread I qrted for this discussion below ⬇️)

Okay let's talk about this. I didn't say a lot in regard to my actual thought process but I have got to talk about it.

First of all: The way in which Hizashi is completely fucking shattered. He's partially mask off in terms of like his entire mental state being shifted into hell. He literally looks about ready to bawl his goddamn eyes out, like he's going to entirely lose himself.

He does technically lose himself, he loses more Hizashi Yamada, the loud "happy" teen with a voice quirk. It's his persona he has aside from Present Mic which I want to say at this point does in some way exist. Maybe not as we know it in the main manga but pretty damn close.

When I say he forced himself to glue the pieces of himself back together and "cope", I mean like he's literally gluing himself back together as he's putting back on his smile. He physically is forcing himself to be happy just for a moment. He goes into the mentality of "I need to be strong for others (Shōta), everything will be okay" when it isn't okay.

It isn't okay here and it isn't okay fifteen years later when that façade entirely crumbles again. I always bring up when I in some way write about Hizashi in general pre-timeskip, post-war that he wears a cracked mask with pieces falling off of it. He really does and this mask probably started earlier in time but ended up becoming worse once Oboro literally was dead in front of him.

He puts up the front when his world view is crumbled, shattered to pieces in front of him that he's still happy-go-lucky in a sense. It's jarring because many people in this situation would've outwardly shown how devastated they are. He starts off that way too and as everything progresses, he doesn't give himself the time of day to process what's going on and for the next fifteen years, he still doesn't give himself that.

The shock and horror we see here? Yeah he gives the same when he's faced with the horrible reality that he's losing his "friend" (Kurogiri/Oboro) again and watching it happen in real time.

Like I have so many thoughts on this y'all got no idea. This ain't even the half of it-
