Amchanrambles: In The Tags Edition - Blog Posts

I need everyone to know if I slow down posting art (might not happen given my track record thus far but it's a fair heads up) that I'm starting new classes and adjusting to the schedules. They are very labor intensive for me so it might be a hot minute.

Rq I'm gonna cross post (this will make it's way onto Bluesky eventually I PROMISE FOR THOSE OF YALL WHO ARE PROBABLY STARVING FOR YAPPING-) this here so y'all can see the reason why I named Present Mic/Yamada Hizashi "Ear Piercer" in my Villains AU.

This came from my strawpage hence why I'm putting the screenshot here:

Answer -

Quick tldr: Villain!Mic's name in this AU is Ear Piercer! He uses it as a means of tricking his enemies into not knowing what his quirk is.

(Below is my ramble because I cannot shut up sorry anon!) so for those that wanna hear the long one, it's under the cut!

Long answer:

My villain!Mic's name is actually Ear Piercer! For people that haven't heard of him, the name serves as a means of throwing them off of his quirk.

Cuz some people think "oh Ear Piercer? Must be a dude that has a quirk that physically pierces something" not "Ohhh he pierces people's ears with Voice".

He thought it was obvious at first because he also wears a mask similar to his directional speaker but apparently not!

The first like several fights when he announced himself, some heroes and villains prepared by covering their faces or other body parts instead of covering their ears like they would had he announced himself as Present Mic.

He uses this to his advantage of course.

Also he chose his name like he did with Present Mic. He wanted something related in some way to his quirk without calling himself what his quirk is.

saw a thing recently about how callin ppl “y’all” and “folks” is becoming cringe. buddy you can pry those terms of address from my cold dead hands, they’re the only thing keeping me from calling everyone “honeybee”

What is one or more things everyone seems to get wrong about present mic?/what mischaracterisation of present mic pisses you off the most?
