I see a lot of people painting Hizashi Yamada as this 'comfortable with his sexuality and expressing himself in feminine ways' guy.
Mr. "Boys don't cry", Mr. "I'm not comfortable in showing my emotions", Mr. "Bakugou acted like a villain by not letting a girl win". Are we sure we are talking about the same guy?
Canon Hizashi Yamada is the most repressed man existing. He'd rather be hootin' and hollerin' than actually acknowledging that something is bothering him.
He'd rather tease Aizawa than touch upon any serious topic ever.
I love him dearly, but damn, it makes my heart die a little each time I see him portrayed as 'the sunshine femboy'.
Every Shirakumo fan should go listen to the Furuhashi-written mini voice drama and listen to how this boy snores. Get him a balloon sinuplasty stat he is so fucking congested. Congestion being a quirk drawback of cloud might be semi-canon at this point lol
Here is a shitty translation that you should not quote because I don’t speak Japanese and am more localizing the gist of what they’re saying:
Shirakumo: Yawn… I feel kind of sleepy. It’s worse now that I’ve eaten. I might sleep like this all afternoon…
Yamada: If there’s practical training in the morning, everyone will end up exhausted.
Aizawa: There are many teachers that would say “I’ll tolerate it if you’re sleeping in secret”.
Shirakumo: Past tense…? I was just woken up by someone yelling, “cut it out already!”
Aizawa: No, that was your fault, Shirakumo. That was terrible snoring.
Yamada: “GOGGAAAAA” echoed throughout the classroom.
Aizawa: There were complaints from class B [because of it].
Shirakumo: Huh? Is it that bad?
Yamada: On the other hand, Aizawa sleeps very calmly.
Shirakumo: Not exactly quiet, but it’s cute.
Yamada: He goes, “kuu..!”
Shirakumo: That’s right, he goes “kuu!”
Aizawa: I don’t do anything “cute” like that.
Shirakumo: …but, I’m surprised there’s never any mention of that with Hizashi.
Aizawa: Ah, that’s true. It would make sense for him to be the loudest snoring-wise. But I’ve never seen Yamada sleeping.
Yamada: I… try not to sleep at school. I talk in my sleep.
Shirakumo: Huh?
Aizawa: What kind of talk?
Yamada: So, I’m doing a web radio show.
Shirakumo: Ah, that’s right.
Aizawa: I’ve never heard it, though.
Yamada: Morning, afternoon, and late at night… The morning title is “GOOD MORNING, U.A.!” …say that… [note: he seems a bit embarrassed?]
Aizawa: Huh? What?
Shirakumo: I don’t understand.
Yamada: When I sleep at night, I’m thinking about the next morning’s show. Jokes, song intros, etc… Then, when it’s all finished, I apparently announce it.
Aizawa: What do you mean “apparently?”
Yamada: HAHA, because I’ve never heard it myself.
Shirakumo: Well, it’s the same with snoring, you don’t really know you’re doing it!
Aizawa: That’s a weak punchline. [note: this is a likely a fourth wall break from Furuhashi]
Y’all my favorite headcanon that I saw is that Aizawa is quiet and barely talks when he’s in public, but when he’s at home he just goes to yap town w/ his husband :*)
