Saw This Old Meme And Had To Apply It To My Bois

Saw this old meme and had to apply it to my bois

Just thinking about Present Mic and how unrecognizable he is out of his hero costume to most people. His radio voice is very recognizable as well, but he probably doesn’t talk like that all the time. I also love the fact that it was hinted at one time that he doesn’t respond to Mic when he is Hizashi and the other way around because he seems to separate his mentality when he is a hero and when he is not, which has its own pros and cons.

Because of this, I really do think he is a method actor. Idk if he is a good one or not. He probably enjoys messing around when he is playing a part for hero students, but considering his looks and how fairly unrecognizable he is, I bet he probably helps with sting operations.

Bonus thoughts on this subject revolve around him being very recognizable in costume, recognizable out of it by some students, friends, family, people he works at the radio show with, and probably a few obsessed fans who care enough to learn his look. The number of people who would recognize him if he shaved his stash (it will grow back and he can easily put on a very realistic fake one if he needs to) and chose to wear a sun dress, big sun glasses, a floppy hat, and curl his hair? A hand full of people.

I also HC that, along with his voice quirk, he has trained his voice studiously to mimic others. Including female voices. Which is really helpful for undercover ops he does with Aizawa, where Hizashi wanders home alone at night, playing a defenseless woman to lure out monsters and predators. Hizashi could absolutely handle themselves, but it’s always safer to have backup just in case the criminal’s quirk is dangerous.

I also just realized how stringy, leggy, tall Hizashi coming into the office in a dress and curled hair and makeup would probably remind Yagi of his mother at a glance.

More plot AU’s:

This one probably exists somewhere in some form, BUT…

Child (probably someone who would one day become 1A student) comes across an injured and incapacitated Aizawa. Because their parents work late/don’t have parents/place they stay is pretty unmonitored and the person was knocked out and obviously robbed (villain got the upper hand and stole his stuff and ran), they decide to take the guy home and nurse him back to health and maybe convince him not to be a criminal (he looks sort of like a criminal in his all black and they worry the person would get in trouble if they took them to the hospital).

Aizawa wakes up after a very stupid mistake that nearly cost him his life only to find himself in a child’s bed instead of a hospital or morgue, covered in poor attempts to dress his wounds and many bandages.

I love seeing Eri take on traits of Aizawa sooooooo freaking much… buuuuuuut…

Where is Eri deciding to do her hair like Present Mic one day and people just accept that she is allowed to do that (even if she looks hilarious) because nobody wants to tell the canonically abused child that had little control over what decisions were made over her own person until recently that she looks silly like that.

Where is the scene out of Lion King, where she gets mad at some random hero students being dumb and she decides to scream just like present mic, and they look at her, confused and amused, because, like, what the heck was that pitiful little squeak supposed to be? And then they almost poop themselves because suddenly Present Mic appears behind her, chest puffed up like he is gonna roar for his little kitten like Mufasa did for Simba? And the moment she opens her mouth he screams at the same time and knocks the dumb students on their butts, and she turns around excited Mic is there because did he hear how loud she screamed? And he just smiles all “oh no! You’re gonna put me out of the job like that!” And it’s just so wholesome because she has learned through Mic and her whole support system that she does have a voice. And she can make as many silly choices as she wants because she will always have support and protection to learn and grow and have a safe space to do that in.

Eri: I want my daddy!

Present Mic: I want your daddy, too!

Eri: You can’t have him! He’s my daddy first!

Present Mic: well, actually–

SMACK!

Aizawa: Stop fighting with a child, you child!

Present Mic: But, daddy!

SMACK!

Saw this and couldn’t help but think of season 1 Endeavor. 🤣

Origin. Also, I just really love the shoto react face.
