I FORGOT TO ADD THIS:
I did use a reference image for her pose and it's this!
For anyone who followed me from Twitter or Bluesky (or both I see y'all):
Because I don't have a large limit on words other than how much I want to say, imma yap a lot here. So example: the Ear Piercer ref is taking longer here vs how it was on Twitter cuz of this.
I do more shit with explaining because I'm not limited and I can format better over here than I can on Twitter (or even Bluesky) so I'm taking my time with it. I'll do the same with Villain!Aizawa or even other refs I'll post. I like to talk a lot and explain things.
Just in case y'all wonder why certain things haven't been posted to other places. I try not to bombard y'all with my talking π
hey guys you should totally follow me on TikTok (same user) qβ ββ βΏβ ββ q
Nice little WIP. Hope y'all like really runny eyeliner-

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 β¬οΈ)
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 (ShΕta), everything will be okay" when it isn't okay.
It isn't okay here and it isn't okay fifteen years later when that faΓ§ade 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-
So I said on Twitter I was gonna draw ShΕta. Turns out I'm drawing Zashi instead. Y'all get to see him until I figure out if I wanna post this WIP on Twitter or not. He has no reason to be this goddamn pretty-
I'm writing my headcanons for Hizashi and ShΕta individually because I am going way too in-depth with Hizashi's to just put them both together in one post. They both mean so much to me like y'all have no idea I can't even put it into words-
Warmups between starting the Mic chibi again. Yes that is ShinsΕ in a dumpster. And no Zashi is not related at all to the thought process he is just there.
Posted this onto Twitter (so I'll be copying and pasting) buut:
Someone pointed out that the students have their hero costume designs on the microphones, checked EraserMic and they have a part of their costumes on the microphones too-
I like both of them but Mic's is cool, it resembles the studs on his jacket and shoulder pads. Aizawa's are his goggles of course so that's so cool. I'm in love man.
