Decided to draw some Lanky Hizashi for once! Had fun with the shading (he's got a lollipop in his mouth. Nothing beats thinking alone at 4 am under a street light with a lollipop)
Closeup and alts!
Why aren't there so many present mic fanarts? Its design is super cool.

I FORGOT TO SAY IT WAS MY BDAY BYE đđđđ (Korean Time zones its now 27th, I MISSED MY OWN BDAY)
Underground hero AU
Present Mic is an underground hero. "But Dingus! Mic's loud??? How the fuck???" Within this AU Hizashi heavily focused on changing his quirks frequency range instead of going for the loudest sound he could. This means by the time he graduated, he had it fine tuned- a vocal range from 10 Hz to 30K Hz. Now with this range he can produce sounds that you couldn't hear at all. Pretty useful stealth weapon.
Hizashi in this AU is BOTH pro and underground. Present Mic being his pro-hero persona (its cause he wanted to be a radio host so bad and he needs an outlet for all his BOMBASTIC energy) and his underground hero self having literally no information on him.
Appearance (I might recycle the actual outfit from the Eraserhead outfit I did a while ago but change a few things cause I love that design sm): Hair tied up in a high ponytail, bandana over his mouth and neck, black tighter fit, defensive padding, reinforced knuckles and boots.
The bandana is there to both hide his identity better and to cover his mouth. This is so that the enemy can't see it open for when he uses his quirk. They don't know that his quirk is Voice. They just know that whenever this new prick is around the effects can vary, like:
Uneasiness
Dizziness
Nausea
Anxiety
Headache
Worse cases involve tinnitus and internal organ damage
But he can also do the opposite, in hostage situations he can help those calm down easily (please listen to the frequency of love) without saying a word. He daren't go any lower than 10 HZ however because 7 HZ is deadly and capable of bursting all organs.
Along with this, he can easily change his voice. Making concealment simple, mimicking easy and intimidation hit hard.
Hizashi pounds his fist against the mahogany door rapidly while Shouta and Oboro stand behind him, Shouta with his standard bored expression and Oboro with shifting, anxious feet. Beside them, a small white cloud floats drowsily with a small grocery bag full of chili bean soup and medicine inside it.Â
Unlike the three boys, Nemuri is already living alone in a small apartment complex a few streets away from UA High School, working two jobs to keep up with rent and her own chaotic interests. Although her independence gives them a great place to hang out to play video games on weekends, it also draws most of her attention away from them most of the week. Despite this, Nemuri has always been a punctual, upstanding student who turns in her homework on time and always makes room for friends. Nothing has ever stopped her before, and it still amazes Oboro to see her act like such an⌠adult.Â
Bottom line: Nemuri is a busy bee and itâs not uncommon to not see her for days on end. What is uncommon, however, is discovering she hasnât been at school or internship for the past three days and apparently called off work for the next two weeks.
This knowledge has been bothering Oboro nonstop. Is she okay? Did she get hurt while on patrol with His Purple Highness? Did she get sick? Is she all alone? Her parents live in Saitama Prefecture, a whole three hours away from Musutafu. If she is sick, knowing Nemuri and her stupid habit of hoarding her burdens to herself, she didnât tell them or anyone else. Oboro knows for a fact she didnât tell him, Shouta or Hizashi; the only reason they know of her strange absence was through Iida Tensei, who Oboro shares his math class with.Â
âOh, she called His Purple Highness and told him something came up and that she wouldnât be coming in for a while,â Iida had told him casually. âWhy? She didnât tell you?â
It pissed Shouta and Hizashi off that Nemuri wouldnât let themâ her best friendsâ know about her getting sick, but it just worried Oboro. It took a lot of convincing, but he managed to drag them with him to the local grocery store, grab Nemuri her favorite soup and some medicine, and come all the way over here. Shouta and Hizashi kept on glancing at Oboro strangely and whispering to each other, but Oboro doesnât understand why they would act so weird about it. Heâs Nemuriâs friend! Friends are supposed to look out for each other, right?
âNemuriiii!â Hizashi shouts through the door between rapid knocking. âI know youâre in there, I can smell hoe for miles! Open up the mcfuckinâ dooooorrr!â
Shouta lifts an unamused eyebrow at Hizashi. âDude, what the fuck?â he deadpans, and Hizashi glares at the ravenette from over his shoulder.Â
âWeâre friends! Iâm allowed to call her a hoe.â Hizashi turns back to the door. âNemuri! Open the DOOR!â He emphasizes âdoorâ with a high pitched shriek, and Oboro shoves his palm into his face to stifle his snorts.
âYou guys are both assholes,â Shouta grumbles, though itâs obvious heâs smiling.
The door swings open in a quick arc that slams into Hizashiâs forehead with a comical bonk. Nemuri is standing in the doorway, clad in her pajamas with baggy pink sweatpants and a white tank top with spaghetti straps. Her red glasses sit on the bridge of her nose, her deep indigo hair tied up into a short messy bun atop her head, and her tired blue eyes glare at the boys with exhausted irritation. Seeing Nemuri without her usual playful smile is surprising in and of itself, but Oboroâs sky blue eyes widen at what sheâs holding against her chest with one arm.Â
A small baby dressed in a cute little sailor suit is leaning into her chest, snoozing quietly with one thumb in his mouth. He looks like the splitting image of Nemuri, with a matching mole under his right eye and pale skin. The only thing that differs from her is the babyâs hairstyle, which is short and curly.Â
Nemuri releases the door knob and readjusts her grip on the baby, still glaring at the boys. âWhat the fuck, guys? You couldnât even call in advance?â she hisses at them.Â
Shouta and Hizashi stare between Nemuri and the baby, speechless, while Oboroâs brain turns like slow moving gears. After a solid three seconds, he suddenly utters a horrified gasp that attracts the eyes of all three friends. âNemuri! You were pregnant?!â he shrieks.
The accusation breaks the shocked spell in an instant, and suddenly Hizashi is lying flat on his ass, howling with laughter. Even Shouta ducks his face away, trying to stifle his giggles; Nemuri narrows her eyes at Oboro pointedly.
âOh yeah, I got pregnant and gave birth in three days. Of course I wasnât pregnant, dipshit.â Nemuri readjusts her grip on the baby again, holding him up a little higher. âThis is my older sisterâs kid. Say hello to baby Haito, everyone.â
Not knowing what else to do, everyone waves at the little baby, and the baby lifts his head drowsily. When he opens his eyes, Oboro is surprised to find the babyâs eyes are a light blue that matches the hue of the sky above, with faint freckles dusting over his cheeks. Upon seeing the newcomers, the baby fusses anxiously and buries his face in Nemuriâs bust.Â
Nemuriâs attitude changes in an instant, from tired and angry to worried and tender. She lifts one hand to gently pat the babyâs back and she rocks him from side to side. âShh, shh, shh. Itâs okay Haito-baby. Itâs okay. Auntie Nemiâs here. Youâre safe with me,â she coos into his hair, and the babyâs whines quiet down. Her voice is so soft and gentle it warms Oboroâs heart just by hearing it, and he can tell Hizashi and Shouta are just as shocked by her motherly tone.
After the baby quiets down, Nemuri lifts her head to peer at her friends, suddenly tired all over again. âSorry for being a bitch, guys. My sister and her boyfriend had to go abroad for some job interview in South Korea, and since my parents think her boyfriend is a deadbeat, they want nothing to do with him or the baby. So she gave Haito to me,â Nemuri explains, punctuating her words with a tired sigh. âIâve had, like, no sleep for the past three days. Damn⌠and my rentâs due next ThursdayâŚâ
Shouta and Hizashi look between themselves, unsure of how to react. Only Oboro is willing to meet Nemuriâs eyes, and worry pangs to life in his chest at the dark bags under her eyes. âWhen will they be back?â he asks her.
âHm? In about two weeks, I think,â she says, and Oboro can almost feel her invisible walls rising, guarding her from their worry. âDonât worry, guys. Iâm fine. Iâve pulled all-nighters before, this is nothing.â
âYou werenât taking care of someoneâs kid, though,â Oboro gently protests. âHave you been eating anything? Anything at all?â
Nemuri pries her eyes away from his concerned stare. âI had a protein shake yesterday,â she replies stiffly.
Oboroâs brows lower into a frown. âFor breakfast or dinner?â he presses.
Nemuri sighs. âBreakfastâŚâ she mutters in response, then quickly shakes her head as a wobbly smile forces its way onto her lips. âItâs nothing. I mean it. You guys donât have to worry about me.â
Oboro is already shaking his head. âThatâs bullshit,â he tells her, and when he sees her shoulders haunching defensively, he quickly adds, âI know you can take care of yourself, but as your friend, I still worry about you. I mean, look at you! You look like you could pass out any second now!â
âIâm fine,â she replies, her tone harder this time.
Oboro stares at her incredulously. Why canât she just let them help for once? She has it in her mind that she has to be the strong one, the responsible one. Why canât she see that sheâs a kid just like the rest of them? It frustrates him to no end, yet in the depths of his exasperation, an epiphany comes to mind.
âWhy donât I help you take care of him?â he offers, and his friendsâ eyes fall on him in surprise.Â
âYou? Help me? Take care of⌠a baby?â Nemuri echoes, her words slow and meticulous as if she were taking her time tasting a treat, figuring out whether she liked it or not. She glances down at the baby in her arms, then to the small cloud floating beside the taller boy, eyeing the small grocery bag full of medicine in particular. Oboro has never seen her look so⌠anxious before.
Assuming sheâs just not used to being offered help, Oboro goes on cheerfully, âYeah! I have a little brother, remember? Iâm a pro at babysitting!â Something about his words is bothering him, the reason flapping seamlessly in the back of his mind, though Oboro canât pin down why. He just smiles joyfully at her, hoping his smile is convincing enough.
Finally, Nemuri sighs. âCome around six tonight,â she tells him, her tone strange. âHaito usually gets fussy around dinner time.â
Oboro flashes her a thumbs up. âBet!â he cheers.
Nemuri smiles at him, and Oboroâs heart gives an unexpected beat; somehow it feels different from her usual broad, gleaming smiles. He doesnât have enough time to decipher it before Nemuri quickly bids them goodbye and closes the door, disappearing back into her apartment.Â
A long beat of silence passes between them, and Oboro doesnât dare move his eyes away from the front door. He can feel the hot stares of Shouta and Hizashi on his back, pinning him in place like a butterfly on a bulletin board.
âHoly fucking shit. Did you justâŚ?â Suddenly, Hizashiâs face splits apart into a bright smile, and he latches his arms around Oboroâs to shake rapidly. âDude, I canât believe you did that! Youâre so smooth!â
Oboro blinks at him owlishly, still not comprehending what just happened. The flapping in the back of his mind is deafening, now. âEh? Whatâd I do?â he asks.
Hizashi laughs loudly. âDonât play coy with me, bro! You totally went, âfear not, my love. Even if this child is not mine, I shall support both you and the baby!â That was so domestic it made me blush!â he squeals.
The puzzle pieces finally fit together in his brain, and a blush hits him with the speed of an oncoming train. Suddenly, he remembers the faint blush on her cheeks, and the tender pull of her smile. Although Nemuri is the type of person to extend a helping hand out to anyone in need, she rarely accepts help from anyone else. In spite of that, sheâs letting him help her with taking care of her sisterâs baby?Â
Oboro has no idea what expression is on his face right now.
âOboro.â Shoutaâs stern voice reaches his ears, grounding him before his brain could float into the sky like a balloon. He slowly turns to face the ravenette, and finds Shouta watching him with dark, serious eyes. âDo you have any idea what you just did?â he asks, his tone flat.
Oboro blinks slowly, his brain slow and muddled yet filled with thoughts moving at the speed of light. âI⌠said Iâd help witâ da babyâŚâ he murmurs dumbly, the words feeling alien on his tongue. Shouta sighs.
The trio finally gather their wits and begin walking away from Nemuriâs doorstep. Oboro is suddenly thankful her apartment is on the first floor; he doesnât think he has the motor skills to walk down stairs right now. âI know you said you have a little brother, but itâs been seven years since you had to change a diaper. Do you think you can handle this?â Shouta asks the taller boy, and Oboro wrings his hands together tightly.Â
âI mean, yeah, why not?â he replies, more so to convince himself. âBetween me and Nemuri, how hard can it be?â
I'm sorry dudes, no art today. Spent the whole day outside so I'd like some feedback instead! Doesn't have to be something you like either, something I could improve on will also be much appreciated! Either via comment or inbox. This will help me improve and focus on areas y'all like
