hey

Alright so probably a mix of feral and trying to mix into society! Heck yeah  @howdoistormspirit, your idea is like exactly the narrative I thought would fit for this type of AU when I thought about it! We’re at the same wavelength!

So here he is, cat cryptid Aizawa! He only dresses in enough clothes for people not to call the cops on him (it wasn’t pleasant last time, the noises and blinking lights are terrible for him). He hates wearing shoes or socks. You know those videos of cats walking funny cus of socks? That’s how Aizawa feels about it, it feels weird on his toe beans!!! 💖💖

Imagine Aizawa works at Buzzfeed, and gets the idea to write an article about how Twitch streaming is stupid and pointless (because he’s a video game snob.) He chooses Present Mic’s channel to watch at random, because he’s super popular, but Aizawa immediately goes from undercover reporter to absolute fan. No middle ground. Just “huh, okay i was wrong” and subscribes.

He tunes in to all the live streams, because Mic is very funny and also very good at video games, and it’s cool to watch him play. He has skills, his commentary is A+, and Aizawa develops a little crush. But it’s not a big deal!! Mic is a celeb, Aizawa knows they’ll never meet, it’s harmless.

Sometimes the chat for the stream gets assholes in it, as you’d expect. Mic can’t monitor the chat too much, but Aizawa has no problems telling jerks where to stick it. And once, after a particularly egregious incident where some moron said something crude about women in gaming and Aizawa ripped him a new asshole, Mic sends him a personal message thanking him and asking him if he wants to be a mod, which of course, he does. He doesn’t know how to reply - this is his big chance to talk to Mic!! So of course he just says “sure” - no further conversation.

Aizawa has, of course, zero personal details on his Twitch account. No info, no icon, his screen name is a random string of numbers, he’s a ghost. The Ron Swanson of video game enthusiasts.
