Please Don't Repost My Work.

WIP again.

Currently coloring this one. The yearning contest is on for Teen Shō

What if before nemuri died her last thought was being able to see oboro again but when she died she was confused and upset because she couldn’t see Oboro anywhere, unaware that Oboro is still down there trapped inside a villains body and she will never know that.

Share to save someone with nut allergies a hospital trip hoooly shit

Happy Halloween y'all!

Usually I have something planned/prepared for the occasion (usually it's OC art which I'll post some of those eventually, maybe) but this year I'm in the spirit just not apparently mentally there to make anything right now.

I did say on Twitter I probably will make something for Halloween when it's over. Like I have an EMic family drawing thought up but it's not even sketched yet so it's not happening until probably November.

For now, I got nothing other than:

be safe, don't over eat candy to the point your stomach hurts, those over 21 drink responsibly and uhhhh have fun. I have class today (boo) so I'll try to be spooky afterward.

One last update before I color them because he is such a joy to draw with long hair-

I only have the anime ref up btw because I somehow forgot how to draw his sunglasses?? What a concept

Y'all getting a WIP. Long hair in a ponytail Zashi mood. That's the mood I'm in tonight.

Normalize this response

found family

I chose to do Sleep for this drawing out of either dissociation/sleep!

(more info about the month event under the cut!)

Btw, this month is something happening currently over on Twitter! Idk if it's been posted over here but I'll send out the prompts and Twitter post for anyone who wants to join in for the month of February! It's being put on by @/aizawasscarf118 and @/lcthxia!

Villain!EMic thoughts (to be added to when cross posting from Twitter)

I've been having villain!EMic thoughts lately (if you follow me on Twitter I posted a stupid thing today about it after that piece I did) and y'know I really think this might be the only universe other than the one in which Oboro doesn't die that Aizawa and Mic can actually drift apart without being on bad terms.

These two, in the main canon I use for most of my artwork, are absolutely NOT on good terms in their early 20s. They aren't even together in their early 20s, they are broken tf up because long distance didn't work for them at all.

The villain one involves them (so far I might change this) drifting apart because they lost contact. Mic changed his phone number after Oboro died (years later btw they texted but stopped once Aizawa kinda didn't want to think about their friend anymore) and Aizawa fucked off to god knows where.

They both became villains because they had to witness their friend pass away and both could not cope with it for shit. Neither of them decided to get together (unlike my main canon. They're friends to lovers to exes to friends to lovers there) and they meet again at a goddamn bus stop. There's more to this that I have to cross post over here but it's the most awkward thing ever because Mic didn't realize he was talking to Aizawa (disheveled villain!Aizawa my beloved) and accidentally confessed his feelings.

So he's pouring out his heart and soul to a guy he thinks is a stranger until Aizawa moves his hair a bit and he realizes "oh. SHIT." So one hour long (Mic's was a whole hour, Aizawa got off 30 minutes into the bus ride) awkward bus ride and a sneaky slip of his number into Aizawa's pocket later and they are talking again.

I really want to expand on this more btw because they do get together and have a kind of strange dynamic (still in love with each other and it's still a bit complicated but it's not entirely emotional constipation all over the place. That's still a thing but there's a lot of "taking out hard feelings" on people who make them angry) and I also want to explore the shit outta villain!Mic and villain!Aizawa. They are dear to me.

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-
