ultimate… what are ur headcanons for present mic..

SORRY I JUST SAW THIS NOW!!!! anyways let the hcs commence......

As for general headcannons, I think Hizashi has this persona, a very intense persona that, at least, I feel surfaces most noticeably when he's in costume. In Vigilantes if you've seen it, there's a scene where Hizashi meets up with Kayama and she calls him Yamada where he corrects her and asks her to use "Mic, Present Mic." It's clear, at least to me, that when Mic's in uniform he isn't Yamada. But that doesn't mean his real feelings as Yamada don't slip out every now and then.

Referencing these two images, I have also come to the conclusion that at least, physically, Hizashi does not make too much of an effort to hide his emotions. His eyes, in particular, give away how he feels. I forgot where I heard this, but one person said the eyes are the gateways to the soul, and with Hizashi I see that clearly.

These two points are not to say that Hizashi is always silly and whatever, but I feel that his reactions in the series are some of the most realistic. He gets frustrated, speaks his mind without second thought and can get into an offensive/defensive mindset in combat. This is why I think he's such a compelling character--because he's multifaceted and impossible to box into one category.

thanku for asking this im probably gonna talk more about this in the future heheheh i have a lot more hcs about his upbringing, life before ua, jobs and physical appearance

why are people so afraid of representation?

i recently saw a rooftop trio vid that i loved so much! the animation was incredible and i had to smash every button on my screen. but ohh dude when i got to that comment section? 😒😒my blood pressure went up i swear

the creator drew aizawa and oboro (as he is in canon!) tan and the comments were full of baseless accusations of blackwashing and people offended that someone drew their favourite characters with a different skin tone.

every time i draw the rooftop trio, i get similar comments so you can only imagine my frustrations. i have a lot to say about these claims.

first off the accusation of black-washing? black-washing isn't a thing and is an odd thing to comment. is every tan or dark skinned character automatically labeled black? the creator didn't specify headcannoning oboro or aizawa as black and even if they did, so what? what is so bad about drawing fictional FICTIONAL characters black or other races? if the character's racial background is integral to their story, it's pretty straightforward that you shouldn't change it. but if nothing about their character would change, who really cares? i know i don't

also i just don't get what is so crazy about drawing fictional characters with different skin tones. here's a fun exercise. (In the context of my designs, i headcannon oboro to be filipino-japanese and aizawa to be a quarter black.) how many mixed POC asian characters are there in my hero? like what, one? (Rock Lock's kid) what about in a broader sphere. how many mixed POC asian actors, singers, celebrities or etc can you name off the top of your head? now how many white celebrities can you name? the difference is insane. headcannons like headcannoning a character to be mixed or another race when it doesn't affect their character or personality doesn't do anyone harm. it makes it so people who don't have the privilege of seeing themselves so openly represented a stage! a chance to be seen. call me crazy but i don't think that's so bad
