Our Boy Mic

Y'all better be ready for a yap session on here when I cross post my villain!Mic design (His villain name is Ear Piercer). It's gonna go over his support gear and some facts about him. Oh and he still has a tooth gap and freckles (don't worry he'll always have them in some capacity)

I'll preface with this -

If I ever am very vague about Ear Piercer's dislike of the media especially around younger heroes (and the unfortunate ones that may lose their lives young) think about two things:

Remember how Aizawa didn't want the kids to get bombarded with interviews after the final war when they got requests?

Remember also how Aizawa and Ear Piercer (when he was Present Mic of course) were teens who were involved in a tragedy that resulted in media coverage and interviews?

It only takes one too many questions and too many times prying for someone to break. For someone to completely snap and suddenly go MIA. To make a scene.

Even when you think it's over, when you think nothing bothers you, something can and WILL snap.

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

hey guys you should totally follow me on TikTok (same user) ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡

Drew a pretty lady. Don't know if y'all know her or not-

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-

Okay last WIP before I add things and figure out backgrounds n stuff.

If y'all get any ideas from previous wips for this (the other two) then by all means tell me I want to hear it-

Below the cut is just all the WIPs of them together:

I unironically call them the holy trinity of trauma-

UA Beatboxer - new merch line inspired by Horikoshi's Beatboxer Kacchan sketch

Some sketches of the sillies and my MHA OC, she can turn into a big birdie but dw she doesn't bite (I guess.. )

I'm about to become insufferable (I'm writing up my HCs for EMic family dynamics).

Heads up to those that don't know: Hitoshi both does and doesn't live with Shōta and Hizashi because in my brain, he lives with some family members! He lives with his uncle, aunt and four cousins in which his family is known for having varying types of emitter quirks! The only one that doesn't have an emitter is the "technical" second oldest cousin, she was adopted and has a transformation quirk.

I'll add names and quirks in another post but to give the jist (I haven't posted this to Twitter yet, heads up anyone who follows me there) his parents did pass away in an accident and that's why he lives with his uncle and aunt instead of his parents or in the foster system.

So his dynamic works as his dad's older brother is taking care of him with his wife and he helps take care of some of the younger kids when they can't. It's not a requirement, he doesn't get hurt physically but he does have a hard time as he along with his older cousin have to take care of three other family members.

I'm also drawing out the family trees for Aizawa, Yamada and Shinsō family lineages specifically. If anyone wonders, Eri does also stay with EMic but she is also taken care of by other members of staff when they can't fulfill duties as parents because, y'know, Hizashi has three jobs and Shōta is sometimes very busy.

Anyway I'll expand on a lot of this in another post because I'm about to ramble too much. I love their family dynamic and other stuff dearly!!

WIP. These two istg

Gotta go back to hw

Tiny thing below

Yes I consider Aizawa to be more of a vigilante than a Villain BUT ITS STILL THE VILLAINS AU OKAY I HAVE JUSTIFICATION
