Neither Of Them Could Forget Each Other Let's Be Real-

Something that I think doesn't get talked about enough is the fact that erasermic always ALWAYS come in a pair. If there's one, the other is bound to show up eventually. It's so prevalent not only in the fandom spaces but in canon as well. They are inseparable, whether you ship them or not. They met one day and now one can't live without the other. One can't die without the other. They are so intertwined with each other that they almost become one. And yes, that is contradictory in the sense that they are complete opposites of each other. But I think that's the thing that makes them so dependent on each other. They are NEVER going to find someone as far from the spectrum that they share because they are so far away from each other that it loops back around with their ass cheeks pressed together. Again, it comes back to the point of inseparability of these characters. And it's driving me crazy that it doesn’t get talked about enough.

Last WIP of the night but chat do we see the vision?

I also needed the anime reference again because Jesus I forgot how to draw the elbow pads who am I-

Im doing a thread on Twitter but instead I ended up doing sketches. The context is that I thought of Hizashi being a rollerskater and being called a "loudspeaker on wheels" (affectionate) and then the thread has devolved from there. I'll post that here too when I get to it.

Anyway as compensation throughout this process I'm doing, y'all get some WIPs while I take 2000 years to write and edit a thread (and for here a post)-

A whole lot of rambling is happening below so I cut it off so y'all don't have to scroll!

It's my first time drawing the entire rooftop squad on a canvas. Especially Nem I haven't drawn her very much.

I do like this teen Zashi right here tho he's becoming one of my favorite drawings of him and he's not even done yet.

I'm figuring out the rollerskates so that's why I'm not showing the rest of him.

Y'all already know this mostly because I've shown my WIPs before but because I have Oboro here I gotta say it:

The colors aren't final, it's usually how I figure things out in greyscale n stuff that's why they're grey and white respectively. I usually don't post anything with the greyscale attached (the last WIP didn't have anything like that, it was just Zashi on a grey background) so I thought I'd clarify.

That is one of his daughters. He looks at Uraraka so fondly I swear to god. It makes me ILL oh my god.

What's this? A colored version of the last sketch?? Tiny cat having gay panic ladies, gents, and nonbinary nobles.

WIP of that idea. God forbid he not be broken down to atoms. Hitoshi is also broken down to atoms but I didn't take a SS of him. Also alt text is in case you can't read my handwriting (along with general alt text of what it looks like of course)

Final prompt for erasermicmonth2025! Family ft. Eri winning Uno and Hitoshi being a menace

This was such a fun challenge I love them so much.

Final time posting the prompts below!

Wanted to add rq:

Y'all can have any HC for the song Shōta requested. The one I will say I listened to while I drew it was "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra. I named the file "Hey You With The Pretty Face" cuz of that.

I'll also be doing the extra aftermath after the event is over because I have to do some extra work this week and I still want time to do the last prompt!

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-

Making a ramble based off of that last Mic/Hizashi post I reblogged. Yes I'm aware I still have to post the Midnight one but rn this takes priority because my brain is fixed on talking about the injustice that is Hizashi's arc at the end of the manga. I will post her's soon but right now? Right now we're talking about Mic for a second.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our favorite cloud boy, Shirakumo Oboro!!

Surprise! I had an extra one in me for today!

hi tumblr im alive but my brain is brainrotting hard rn
