So many fics use the fanon "Mindjack" for Shinsou's hero name but as a folkloric scholar I'm giving him the hero name "Yamabiko" which literally translated means "Echo" and is the name of a yokai known for its perfect mimicry of human voices and sounds, and are often "heard but never seen"
have i taught you nothing??
Had to include both of them.
Thank you anon!!!!!!
To start with, his life started with his quirk hurting other people. Whether you subscribe to the headcanon that he was orphaned because of that or not, it's definitely the kind of thing that would fuck somebody up. But despite his powerful, dangerous, terrifying quirk, he still gets into The hero school, where he can use it to help people instead.
And then instead it's taken from him, twisted around, and used in the attack that kills his best friend. Maybe he didn't deal the killing blow himself, but he followed an order that he should have second guessed. He wasn't there with his friends to help them. He's part of the reason that Oboro is dead. He can't even allow himself to grieve then because his quirk had already done enough damage. And that's going to fuck him up even more.
So now there's Shouta. He's obviously fucked up by this. He was right there and couldn't stop anything. He didn't even realize Oboro was dead until after it was all over. We're clearly shown that he's fucked up by this. But. Oboro's death also motivates him to become a better, stronger hero. Is he coping well? No. But his poor coping mechanisms seem to be entirely self contained.
And Hizashi? Shouta is Hizashi's coping mechanism. We see that he's dedicated himself to making sure Shouta's okay, trying to pull him back into things. But he's also build up a wall around himself that he only lets down around Shouta. Except Shouta doesn't even see it. He's just...shut everything that could hurt him out. Including Hizashi.
The last thing we see of them is Shouta erasing Hizashi's quirk. And then we're not even shown if Hizashi is around Shouta in the first few years after graduation. Shouta spent the rest of his time at UA learning to be self reliant and cementing the idea that he was better off on his own.
But Hizashi's ability to cope seems to have been entirely dependent on Shouta's presence. And he lost him too. And that had to have fucked him up even more.
the disease has spread 😞 it’s too late for me
I like to think they’d sit on the couch talking about gravel and looking at pictures of sand on a microscopic level
Full set of the Catzawa verse 🐈💕🦜
Follow me on twt to see him turned back because it will be NAUGHTY
Wuh oh wuh oh sick alert
A piece I was working on and I finished it just in time for mermay lol.
They’re teens in this btw. Hizashi doesn’t have his teen hair cause he’s a mermaid/siren so…he wouldn’t have the hair gel lol.
Vigilante Izuku, climbing in through the window after patrol: Ok, so, I did get hit by a bullet, but-
Aizawa: YOU WERE SHOT???
Vigilante Izuku, sarcastically: No, someone threw a bullet at me
Vigilante Izuku: oF COURSE I WAS SHOT.
Tweets made by Mr Yamada Hizashi on the Twitter account he made for Aizawa Shouta
They aren't dead or MIA, they just got tired of everyone's bullshit and decided to take a vacation on the Caribbean because their friendship is the most important thing
