Anything On This Blog About Mic Will Only Ever Be Dedicated To Mic. I Love Aizawa But Damn Fandom Won’t

Anything on this blog about Mic will only ever be dedicated to Mic. I love Aizawa but damn fandom won’t let the funny bird man DJ stand on his own two feet. You mention Mic and suddenly people are like ‘Aizawa this Aizawa that’ and I just don’t give a shit, man. If I go searching for or get recommended anything with Mic, I’d say a good 98% of it all is tied to Aizawa in some way. Hell if people find out Mic is my favorite character, their first instinct is to ask me ‘Do you ship him with Aizawa??’ It’s really fucking sad.

Don’t get me wrong. I love tf outta Aizawa. There’s so much I relate to with him that fandom often forcibly changes and throws out for the sake of horniness and shipping and that alone makes me feel really depressed and isolated and broken in these spaces. Man was my favorite character in MHA until Mic threw himself out in front of him. I also love tf out of Shirakumo and the 3 baka dynamic. Yet strangely, a lot of fandom seems to love pretending Shirakumo never existed to begin with. Wonder why…

If Hori decides to write them to be together. Great man, I support it. I trust Hori’s writing, but fandom’s… Not so much. But with rare exceptions I don’t care all that much about shipping in general especially when it involves a character who doesn’t seem to indicate or give a shit about anything romantic to begin with. I hate ‘will they won’t they’ shit so much.

People can think about Aizawa as his own character and depth that has no involvement with Mic. Mic though? Everyone forces everything about Mic to revolve around Aizawa and I’m so tired of it.

Let Mic be Mic. Let him have his own spotlight without having to live in Aizawa’s shadow 24/7.

Why I think Hizashi could have been more fucked up by Oboro's death

To start with, his life started with his quirk hurting other people. Whether you subscribe to the headcanon that he was orphaned because of that or not, it's definitely the kind of thing that would fuck somebody up. But despite his powerful, dangerous, terrifying quirk, he still gets into The hero school, where he can use it to help people instead.

And then instead it's taken from him, twisted around, and used in the attack that kills his best friend. Maybe he didn't deal the killing blow himself, but he followed an order that he should have second guessed. He wasn't there with his friends to help them. He's part of the reason that Oboro is dead. He can't even allow himself to grieve then because his quirk had already done enough damage. And that's going to fuck him up even more.

So now there's Shouta. He's obviously fucked up by this. He was right there and couldn't stop anything. He didn't even realize Oboro was dead until after it was all over. We're clearly shown that he's fucked up by this. But. Oboro's death also motivates him to become a better, stronger hero. Is he coping well? No. But his poor coping mechanisms seem to be entirely self contained.

And Hizashi? Shouta is Hizashi's coping mechanism. We see that he's dedicated himself to making sure Shouta's okay, trying to pull him back into things. But he's also build up a wall around himself that he only lets down around Shouta. Except Shouta doesn't even see it. He's just...shut everything that could hurt him out. Including Hizashi.

The last thing we see of them is Shouta erasing Hizashi's quirk. And then we're not even shown if Hizashi is around Shouta in the first few years after graduation. Shouta spent the rest of his time at UA learning to be self reliant and cementing the idea that he was better off on his own.

But Hizashi's ability to cope seems to have been entirely dependent on Shouta's presence. And he lost him too. And that had to have fucked him up even more.
