Friendly/Unfriendly Reminder:

WIP for the final prompt! Shōta is laughing his ass off, Zashi is holding in his anger, we got a nice Eri winning and then there's Hitoshi (who will have two awful cards in his hand). He almost won.

I'm also gonna add real quick (I accidentally posted before adding this):

I think this really does play into his response when he beats up Kurogiri/Oboro. Like he's letting it out in what many people may think is unhealthy but he's probably felt like this for a long ass time. He's been bottling things up, drinking a lot and trying to get through his life without needing to talk about it and when he did talk about things? It wasn't with the only person he now has left at the end of the main manga.

He preserved Shōta's feelings and memories and took the brunt of it like he did back when they were second years. It's not to say that I'm going to place blame anywhere but not being able to talk about this second round after the war is probably not good for his mental health. He wears a broken mask that he's again gluing back together just like he did fifteen years ago.

That being said, SOMEONE GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON HIZASHI. I care about Present Mic, okay, but I NEED TO KNOW WHATS UP WITH ZASHI PLEASE. His entire mental state collapsed twice in the span of fifteen years, he probably has a lot of trauma packed into himself too and all we have is "oh he's okay!" from Deejaying. No, that's Mic. Mic is as okay as he's gonna get, ZASHI, I want to know what's going on with him, if he's okay. If he talked to someone about something after he had to put on that front again ESPECIALLY after Nemuri passed.

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 I'm 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-

I can completely say that in the future if any of y'all see any animated content (both art pieces that have no movement and 2D animation) and it features flamenco in it, it's because of my dance class. My professor gave us free references to use for practice but I'll probably use some parts as pose references because holy shit it's good. (Also I'll give her credit since she's amazing)

Like I didn't expect to get references for dance so soon but here we are.

Jirou was a fan of present mic growing up, I don’t make the rules.

Can it be April already? I want the Vigilantes anime to come out. I'm also enjoying that official art of Mic for it HIS HAIR MAKES HIM LOOK SO LITTLE. THE TINIEST EVER OMG.

I wish we could get a hair down of Hizashi. Any Hizashi at this point JUST ONE TIME PLEASE I PRAY. He could have shorter hair and it would be so cute.

Also someone pointed out on Twitter that it looks like Aizawa straightens his hair and now I can't unsee it.

Um, I've been on here for not a long while but a bit (I'm lurking sometimes my bad). I'm trying to write out a full welcome post but for now, Hi there!

A little bit of stuff I'll talk about:

I'm an artist, traditional and digital but leaning more digital. I actually am studying to be an animator, currently figuring out some animatic stuff and exercises for my animation skills because by God do I need it. Oh I also sometimes write although you probably won't see it, emphasis on the probably.

I'm now stuck in MHA/BNHA brainrot while I try to create my own characters and other things. Expect some gay husbands and such. That being said, I am a multifandom and OC artist, at the moment leaning more on the fandom aspect. I don't talk very much on social media to the point I have a Twitter but I don't use it very often.

Anyway, I'll see y'all when either I post that massive intro post or when I post my art/thoughts. Thanks!

I might repost that drawing, twitter and Tumblr ate the color again-
