cloudmicmonth25 prompt 1 - First Encounter!!
I don't draw them very often but I like to think "first encounter" can mean many things, like being heard/acknowledged. So that's what I did.
The prompts are under the cut for those who want to participate!
I actually just switched the image don't mind me
I might repost that drawing, twitter and Tumblr ate the color again-
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!
> Saw this TJ Max
> Anyways when Mic’s doing his radio broadcast and there’s no guest + Aizawa’s too busy w/ either patrol or teaching duties -> he just whips this bad boy out & sits it across from him so he feels like he’s still talking to someone besides the audience
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-
being a little kid was so funny bc you could literally just say somethint like “I think everybody should get along and share :-)” and all the adults in your life would go oh GODDDD STUUUPIIIIDD!!!!!!!! STUPID FUCKING KID ALERT!! Don’t uou know when you grow up you have to face the Government Mandated 100000 Wild boar Attack
