Volume 19 - Extra

Spoilers for the Vigilantes Manga specifically the School Days Arc because that's what I have to talk about with Hizashi mostly.

Alright here we go. Starting off with the screenshots from my Twitter (a portion is cut out of one because the response was from the OG just talking about how Hizashi was just a boy/kid when they lost Oboro)

(link to the og thread I qrted for this discussion below ⬇️)

Okay let's talk about this. I didn't say a lot in regard to my actual thought process but I have got to talk about it.

First of all: The way in which Hizashi is completely fucking shattered. He's partially mask off in terms of like his entire mental state being shifted into hell. He literally looks about ready to bawl his goddamn eyes out, like he's going to entirely lose himself.

He does technically lose himself, he loses more Hizashi Yamada, the loud "happy" teen with a voice quirk. It's his persona he has aside from Present Mic which I want to say at this point does in some way exist. Maybe not as we know it in the main manga but pretty damn close.

When I say he forced himself to glue the pieces of himself back together and "cope", I mean like he's literally gluing himself back together as he's putting back on his smile. He physically is forcing himself to be happy just for a moment. He goes into the mentality of "I need to be strong for others (Shōta), everything will be okay" when it isn't okay.

It isn't okay here and it isn't okay fifteen years later when that façade entirely crumbles again. I always bring up when I in some way write about Hizashi in general pre-timeskip, post-war that he wears a cracked mask with pieces falling off of it. He really does and this mask probably started earlier in time but ended up becoming worse once Oboro literally was dead in front of him.

He puts up the front when his world view is crumbled, shattered to pieces in front of him that he's still happy-go-lucky in a sense. It's jarring because many people in this situation would've outwardly shown how devastated they are. He starts off that way too and as everything progresses, he doesn't give himself the time of day to process what's going on and for the next fifteen years, he still doesn't give himself that.

The shock and horror we see here? Yeah he gives the same when he's faced with the horrible reality that he's losing his "friend" (Kurogiri/Oboro) again and watching it happen in real time.

Like I have so many thoughts on this y'all got no idea. This ain't even the half of it-

They are getting ice cream. 

Edit 10/03/2024:

The blog @amethystartchive is my art archive blog for my own art! Sometimes I reblog from there for bigger pieces and it varies sometimes there. Just as a head's up because I don't really use it often. I mostly post doodles over here because it's easier than big pieces.

Don't expect to see doodles over there, expect finished artwork that's like fully rendered and "pristine" to my standards.

Um, I've been on here for not a long while but a bit (I'm lurking sometimes my bad). I'm trying to write out a full welcome post but for now, Hi there!

A little bit of stuff I'll talk about:

I'm an artist, traditional and digital but leaning more digital. I actually am studying to be an animator, currently figuring out some animatic stuff and exercises for my animation skills because by God do I need it. Oh I also sometimes write although you probably won't see it, emphasis on the probably.

I'm very much stuck in TOH brainrot still even though it ended in May. That being said, I am a multifandom and OC artist, at the moment leaning more on the fandom aspect. I don't talk very much on social media to the point I have a Twitter but I don't use it very often.

Anyway, I'll see y'all when either I post that massive intro post or when I post my art/thoughts. Thanks!

I never elaborated on this. It's gotten worse it's evolved passed 3baka hold on-

I'll elaborate more on this when I'm out of class but I have to put it out here before I entirely forget about it.

Had the most awful (/pos) drawing/partial animatic idea just because of one post on Twitter and listening to "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA:

Young Shōta being the "winner" during the time when Oboro passes with Oboro being the "loser" and Kurogiri being the "winner" when he gets destroyed during the war while Hizashi is the "loser".

And it's not using the main part of the song for "the winner takes it all, the loser has to fall" oh no it's the outro portion for like animatic purposes.

3baka are spinning around in my head like a microwave. Again, I'll elaborate on this more later when I get out of class but man I had to put it somewhere.

Alright I finally have enough energy to post this!

Skater Zashi ft. Rooftop Squad with a slightly adoring Shōta.

Alts and a quick note below!

Alternatives! Including no text, Hizashi by himself and no text by himself.

Alts pt. 2 featuring the rest of the squad with and without text!

Quick note: This is probably the one and only time I have any of the squad (specifically Nem) refer to Hizashi as Yamada. Unless I see a reason to do so, he's being referred to as Hizashi outside of costume.

Forgot to put my linktree for my socials outside of Tumblr my bad y'all.

Ahem, Present Mic everyone. The one character I'll end up learning how to draw hands from like good lord because I want to draw his different hand poses (or some of them Im just intrigued) and Im finding out a lot-

Needless to say, I hope y'all are ready for those doodles/sketches.

EraserMic doodles because I got a bit bored and couldn't focus. Featuring a half done with work Mic and a very tired Aizawa

My knees hurt a lot and I haven't even done anything. It's my first day of classes too so my body is gonna have to suck it up.

Oh I think I'm going to post that sketch dump thing I was talking about/showed on Saturday when I get home and maybe, just maybe, I might doodle more MHA stuff since it's on the brain and I cannot stop either thinking about it or drawing it. There's gonna be a total of probably four sketch pages since I did accidentally draw EMic stuff on the other page, it was not intentional at all but I really couldn't help myself.

That's it until I (hopefully) post later it's again not going on the artchive because it's doodles so it'll be on this page for as long as I wanna have it here!

Here’s some WIPs of younger Eda and Timeskip Eda in the punk/rocker style clothing! It’s only the head up for both because I am currently working out the kinks of the bottom part.

Also I won't lie to anyone, it's been a hot minute since I've drawn Eda in any capacity. I've mostly been drawing our other hags and the hexsquad members (looking at you, Huntlow and Lumity).

Idk when this is going to be done, class just restarted for me so I am figuring out a healthier schedule than last semester.
