Yes, I'm alive 😭 I apologize for not posting anything but my art block really kicked my ass, My psyche isn't doing too well either, and on top of that, my grades are fucking terrible💀

Here's some fanart of fuyumi and tgchk as compensation for not posting <3

"I want to touch the sadness deep inside of you!"

You know what scene I still think about a lot? The conversation with Garaki and Mic.

Well, it's less of a conversation and more Garaki infodumping to cause as much emotional damage as possible before he gets his ass thrown in jail.

Still, all of the information we ever get surrounding nomu and Kurogiri specifically is so chilling. And if you've read the School Days arc in Vigilantes it's WORSE.

In Vigilantes, Oboro's death is framed by the narrative as an accident, a tragedy that comes as a result of educators and the government being too eager to throw prospective hero students into the world and out of their depth (wow I wonder where I've heard that scenario before). Shirakumo and Aizawa are in a fight they are not equipped to handle, and Shirakumo pays the price by protecting others over himself. He didn't do anything "wrong" for this to happen, but it happened anyway because the world doesn't care if you were in the right or not when it snuffs you out.

This isn't just a tragic backstory for Kurogiri, it frames Aizawa's entire mindset as he grows into an adult. His beliefs and unorthodox teaching methods come as a result of what he took away from thet tragedy. He emphasizes the unfairness of the world on the first day of class. He refuses to coddle his students. He's against the first years taking work studies. He fully intends to expel students who will not take this training or their own well being seriously because if he lets them stay, they're the next Shirakumo.

And then there's Garaki, all too happy to bring up Oboro to Mic as he's dragging his fat ass out of the lab. Because, you know, fun fact, that attack wasn't a coincidence at all. No bad luck, no wrong place wrong time, because that little work study team was All For One's target. He wanted a new quirk in his repertoire. It's just a shame that they got the wrong one. That erasure quirk would've been so useful. But, you gotta work with what life gives you, right?

Not only did that attack fundamentally change Aizawa as a person, but it was meant to kill him in Oboro's stead. And now Mic knows this. He knows that his best friend died in a deliberate attack to kill his other best friend. And with Midnight biting it not long after this, Mic has lost the last person chillingly aware of what happened to Shirakumo. The last person he would ever be able to tell outside of Aizawa himself. Mic has to sit there and mourn his coworker in Aizawa's hospital room, fully aware that Aizawa saw the lifeless body if their best friend because the intentional, avoidable attack killed the wrong person.

There's no way that Mic isn't aware of how Aizawa's behavior changed between becoming a student and becoming a teacher. He knows him too intimately to not see the difference, the callousness that grew from such a brutal life lesson, the hope that died in his eyes when faced with reality. But he can't say a word, not to him. He can't tell Aizawa that Oboro's death and Kurogiri's creation only came about because the target was on Aizawa's head. But he's forced to know that, carrying that forbidden knowledge to his grave in the hope Shouta never finds out.

Mic is attached to Aizawa, whether its healthy or not-there's no denying that. In the final war arc, Aizawa is almost entirely all that Mic thinks about. In chapter 372, he makes the move to help out Shoji and Koda, because he is reminded of Aizawa telling him to do so. When he is rushing to wake up Shirakumo, his only thought is 'Our pal's already lost an eye and a leg. Don't go ripping away those good memories from him too', once again disregarding himself in favour of Aizawa. Yet again, he acts extremely impulsively for Aizawa-after he is knocked off of the Viewing Isle, Mic jumps after him. I believe when he jumped, Kurogiri's portal wasn't open beneath them, and therefore Mic was fully ready to die for Aizawa. pretty sure in one's justice 2, Aizawa says to Mic 'you haven't changed in all these years' it's pretty obvious to us, the reader, that Mic has changed immensely, but not to Aizawa because Mic actively avoids showing vulnerability to him.

when they say "don't act like an idiot" but this is me :33

I will always love how Ochako was never afraid of Toga

Forever hating mha for just brushing off nemuri’s death, like bro I wish we atleast saw mics and Shoutas reaction. They must of been so angry, especially hizashi. But fr in general I just wish we got more on nemuri’s death and just more of nemuri in general, it’s annoying. She deserved better.
