You're the 3rd person I've seen that has Kan owning a bulldog or bulldog like pet. I find that great! :3

I don’t know how you could forget such a Good Boy! I hope we get more about doggo in the manga… even a name would be nice!

Hanging Around

Just buddies hanging around. Good Buddies. Besties. Just Besties….

[happybiteysnake]

I am diagnosed, medicated and in a job that isn't literally killing me and aggravating mental illnesses it caused in the first place so i am slowly re emerging back to my art accounts. One of the challanges I am doing to keep myself busy focused and reconnected to my passions and hobbies is taking old sketches I leave literally everywhere and making them into full works. One of the co-challanges is to treat Happy Bitey as a playground for imitating canon styles with my own tiny twist. So here's my first adaption of some of my old scribbles!

[happybiteysnake]

Mic is definately a muso, you can’t change my mind….

[happybiteysnake]

Just got my transfer out of my insanely stressful toxic job that was actively damaging my health, so I'll treat myself to a little redraw of my old Metalhead Mic art <3

[house-of-angst]

Y'all mind if I talk about Present Mic's quirk for a second? Great.

So, my partner and I have been having Erasermic brainrot lately, and while we were binging content with them, I became interested in Hizashi's voice quirk. I began searching stuff about how sound/volume works, and linking it to his canon stuff.

I'll just say, the info I found makes him a pretty scary guy. It's a shame he's so underused in both canon and fanon.

Frequency

First of all, I want to talk about something everyone knows about him: his quirk is potent enough to shatter glass. Now, when it comes to decibels, it's always important to consider the time and distance a certain note is held for, since these can impact the "hit" a certain sound wave can have when influenced by effects such as the air or vibrations.

(Please keep this in mind for the reminder of this post)

When it comes to glass, however, it breaks almost instantly under the pressure of his voice. Our most constant example of this is the man's poor lenses, but there is a scene I'd like to talk about the most, it being he one where he completely shatters Shigaraki's tank.

One might argue that the glass was already weakened from Mirko's kicks, but that's honestly part of something that makes this so impressive to me; Mirko's legs are strong enough to straight-up rip a high-end Nomu's head clean off, yet this tank was tough enough to withstand two attacks from her - including her ultimate move - before starting to leak; and the fact she was heavily injured doesn't fly here, as we very clearly could see she wasn't holding back one bit.

Now, let's get technical.

According to Google, a normal tone of voice would be around 50 decibels, while the required to shatter glass would be a minimum of 105. For comparison, that's roughly the same volume as a jackhammer. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, that's not so bad! Some singers can do that!" and you'd be right, but there's also some other things to consider. Allow me to explain.

Some singers can reach a pitch that can make glass vibrate enough for it to break, but I've personally only heard of this happening if the person has their mouth close to a smaller, empty cup, and even then the volume would be distributed around. Hizashi, on the other hand, was standing several feet away from this reinforced tank and was able to shatter it immediately, using the directional speaker around his neck to aim the volume. This would naturally require for him to hit even higher decibels, specially when you take into consideration that one's frequency must match the glass' for it to vibrate, which drastically increases when it's dampened. (Read next topic for more info on this)

And then there's his glasses which, like I've stated before, are the most common thing he breaks with his voice. Obviously, this is not directed and it's not a total shatter, but there is something to be observed; say, did you know the necessary volume for lenses to crack, when not being directly aimed at, would be that of a nearby shot from a highcaliber gun? That's roughly 140-170 decibels.

Harm factor

Boy, oh boy! I'm betting most of you were looking for this part when you clicked the read more, right? Look no further, I've got you covered, you just better remember what I mentioned before about distance and duration.

Hizashi's parents were unfortunate enough to have a mutant child that was born with his quirk already active, and I'm willing to bet a newborn doesn't have the slightest bit of control over a power as destructive as a sonic-powered voice, which immediately resulted in everyone in the room bleeding from the ears.

Sound-related ear bleeding is most commonly associated with a ruptured eardrum, which can happen at around 150 decibels and is about the same as a jet engine taking off. While a baby most likely unleashed his maximum voice power on the first breath, and it was enough to burst eardrums, I believe something like that would, thankfully, only develop fully after puberty, just like with non-powered people like us since, again, his quirk is a drastic intensification of a function and not a new ability altogether.

With that being said... The Finals Exam.

In this, Hizashi was standing very far and, even with the directional speakers, there were many obstacles in the way that kept him from landing direct soundwaves on the students. Regardless, Jirou's ears bled in less than 30 minutes being exposed to this.

This could have happened due to the fact that she has a hearing quirk, which would make hers much more sensitive, but let's study this, shall we? We don't have the exacts of what happened there, but the students are visibly uncomfortable upon the first soundwave, which would suggest it was at about 120 decibels upon impact (with 85 already being enough to cause damage to your ears) and being emitted even higher by him, considering distance muffles volume. Still, I think all that would be nothing compared to the scream he let out after those bugs started crawling on him, with how unfiltered that was.

With Jirou, it comes to no surprise this volume at this distance and time almost rendered her deaf, and realistically would take several months of healing time. How much do you want to bet Hizashi got a solid scolding from Shouta? I mean, it was supposed to be a challenge, but homeboy came this close to breaking her quirk.

Another thing I want to point out is that his voice is powerful enough to actually fucking launch people, and this only happens due to an event called acoustic trauma, basically meaning Hizashi can surpass supersonic levels. Although, it's important to note that this effect is caused mostly due to pressure and not so much as sound, so while it's not freakishly loud (about the same as thunder), it can still cause hearing and psychological damage.

! WARNING !

The following part contains graphic mentions of injury, and death. Do not proceed if these are sensitive topics for you.

Now, we look at the disturbing side of Hizashi's quirk. Buckle in, because it's a wild ride.

Remember what I commented earlier, about him having to hit even higher frequencies to be able to shatter Shigaraki's tank? First of all, as the doctor was sent flying, this qualifies as supersonic, but that's not all. To shatter such a protected tank, with liquid inside increasing the density, he'd have to hit over 200 decibels; which is considered extremely dangerous and most definitely fatal, as the threshold of pain is of 115-140 - this can cause damage such as crushed ear bones, ruptured lungs, or embolism. For comparison, this would come close to standing right next to a Saturn V Moon Rocket during launch, and is no longer considered a "sound" due to the vacuum.

With that being said, the man came very close to dying by Hizashi's hands (voice?) twice. Not only was he so close during the lens incident, literally being inches away from his face and in risk of getting his eardrums ruptured already, but if Mic had decided to raise his voice even more during his rage, it'd be possible for the frequency to make the doctor's inner organs malfunction, or straight-up burst from the pressure.

But that's not the worst part.

After establishing that the lethal amount of over 200 decibels would be necessary to shatter the tank given the circumstances, if he exceeded 240 and the doctor happened to be in the way of this, it would be enough to cause his head to explode upon impact. That old man better be grateful that he was standing a feet few away, and that the supersonic blast blew him away a bit more, or it'd be an immediate game over.

With all this being said, how devastating would it be for this guy to scream his rage out?

(Please keep in mind that many of the extreme cases in this are actually impossible to happen in a real-life scenario and are purely speculation!)

He has big loud lungs for Big Loud Scream…

So... It's been awhile. I took some time off art to try and get into a better headspace (ha!), and in the meantime, My Hero took quite an intense turn. Aizawa has lost a limb and eyeball, Mic has gone feral and buffed up, Oboru was revealed and Shigaraki has literally mutated into a million fuckhands McGee. So I decided to wait till things settled a little bit- and they (sort of) have... but my computer died a very very dramatic death, taking absolutely ALL of my art with it So. In light of the changes and complete irreversible loss of my entire body of work I'm going to do something a little insane... I'm going to redraw everything.

Absolutely everything.

Wish me luck...

Playing around with Purple. Mineta was the most sensible choice for purple, but then I would have to draw Mineta. So Jiro it is!

[happybiteysnake]

Just felt like drawing Midnight. No reason. No spoilery reasons at all...

[happybiteysnake]

We kept getting recommended Hunter X Hunter, so we finally got around to seeing what the hype was about.

Honestly, we were pretty disappointed. It felt like what happens when Dragonball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh do the Fusion dance wrong. The only reason we managed to battle through was this Murder Clown. We love him so much we even managed to grind through the Cell Saga- ahem- The Chimera Ant arc in hopes he'd pop up again.

Though clearly not a fan of the series, I'll definitely draw more of Hisoka

[happybiteysnake]

I wasn't happy with my original run of button badge designs, so doing another run, but there are so many fun designs for each of the kids, I'll give each of them several and make them available in packs!

Starting with Deku! giving him a Unform, Hero, Fantasy and Disguise option!

[happybiteysnake]

SPAM RETURNS... with the answer to a question I wonder every single time Vegeta tears his bodysuit....

[happybiteysnake]

I never really jumped on the Danganronpa train when it was trending, but I do love me a dramatic gore fest, so better late then never, eh?

Heralding a return to drawing! Go me! getting super organized and actually scheduling posts too, so I can actually post frequently and not just... forget and vanish for months on end

Entrapta was an absolute delight of a character, and really helped notch She Ra up in my books. I thought I would hate her- I thought she was going to be the crazy character that was gratingly wacky the whole time, but they really made her endearing From a social perspective, portraying an autistic character without making a big deal about it, without tokenising her, without having every second they're on screen an important teaching moment where others have to accept how different we can all be was so damned refreshing. From an animation perspective I was incredibly impressed with how they used her prehensile hair. A lot of times when characters have things like this the writers, stroyboardists and animators tend to forget to use extra limbs, tails or hair in this case unless it's convenient. Entrapta was constantly moving about and using her hair with the kind of casual non thinking movements one WOULD use prehensile hair. And in relation to the original? They took a really bland character who's existence was ONLY so she could be a marketable doll with long hair little girls could brush and plait and turned her into a fully fleshed out, non neurotypical, extremely fun character.

I have a love of drawing flowers and using the language of flowers in my work when I can. Bulma is holding an Amaryllis, signifying Pride, and she’s put Narcissus for Egotism, Magnolia for Royalty and Nasturtium for Battle Victory in his hair, while the flowers on the banner are Tigerlily to indicate their combination of wealth and Pride, and red Camellia for a firey relationship.  This work has been sitting in my unfinished pile for YEARS after coming up with the idea for it years before. I’m sorry it took me so long, my only canon OTP! 

[happybiteysnake]

It’s taken, like, about a year, but finally getting around to colouring the EraserMic Week art. Day One was Memories. Aizawa COULD warn Shinso he will not win this battle of wills, but some things are better learnt with experience... 

[happybiteysnake]

I miss drawing Vegeta...

[happybiteysnake]

They will ALWAYS be the Triumvirate.
