Y'all better be ready for a yap session on here when I cross post my villain!Mic design (His villain name is Ear Piercer). It's gonna go over his support gear and some facts about him. Oh and he still has a tooth gap and freckles (don't worry he'll always have them in some capacity)
I'll preface with this -
If I ever am very vague about Ear Piercer's dislike of the media especially around younger heroes (and the unfortunate ones that may lose their lives young) think about two things:
Remember how Aizawa didn't want the kids to get bombarded with interviews after the final war when they got requests?
Remember also how Aizawa and Ear Piercer (when he was Present Mic of course) were teens who were involved in a tragedy that resulted in media coverage and interviews?
It only takes one too many questions and too many times prying for someone to break. For someone to completely snap and suddenly go MIA. To make a scene.
Even when you think it's over, when you think nothing bothers you, something can and WILL snap.
Quick spoiler disclaimer for beyond the cut. It does talk about the final episode and other parts of season 7 for MHA/BNHA! Not a lot but there is a mention of a few scenes just in case y'all haven't watched yet!
I have so many drafts like it's not funny. There's a new one I'm writing that's just my thoughts on the end of MHA's manga because some of it makes me kind of annoyed. I already have one I'm finalizing for Midnight (don't even get me started RN for that one, she deserved better all Imma say), one for togachaco and one for Present Mic/Yamada Hizashi because of one of the things I reblogged like five days ago.
This one is gonna be on my thoughts for like the rest of the students because, at least to me, we don't talk about them all enough. We talk about Uraraka, Todoroki and Midoriya (and by proxy Bakugō) but we don't talk about Momo, Jirō, Kaminari or anyone else enough. Yes this is spurred by that parallel back to season 1 where the students are all flashed to and we see Kaminari staring down at where Midoriya is during the season finale.
To put it simply as to what that one is probably gonna have in it: these heroes are kids. All of them that are in the damn war are fucking kids. We don't talk enough about the trauma of seeing people die, people get hurt, the after effects for some of them (ex: Jirō and her ear), watching people potentially die (ex: Kaminari watching Aizawa and Mic fall practically to their deaths if not for Kurogiri) and so many other things.
They're seeing what no adult wanted them to see this early, hell they saw things during the PLW too, don't think I'm gonna forget about several students seeing Midnight dead. Like I think we don't talk about a lot of this enough and it's prompting a really, really long ramble post because I want to talk about it. It rattles around in my brain a lot.
