what's your hc of how reigen was like as a kid & teenager? (appearance or behavior-wise)

page of miscellaneous kid reigen doodles. 1997 is a big year for him, both end of evangelion and revolutionary girl utena come out when he turns 13 and i think they would awaken things in him. i think he's kind of a nerd and doesn't have any close friends but gets along w ppl superficially, and as like a 6yro i think he's just A Weird Kid (undiagnosed autism)

a little bit grown up!

hhhhhhh okay. u ever think about how one of the things Mogami does in his world is *hijack the narration*? it doesn't show up that often but in the rest of the show there is a narrator voice and its view of the world is fundamentally compassionate, and then Mogami tries to replace it with his own voice and his own worldview, until in the 100% Courage fight the regular narrator comes back as Mob reasserts his rejection of Mogami's understanding of the world.

WHY DOES RITSU HAVE TWO SPOONS

maybe try your hand at a spirit form reigen if you want? like the little blue axolotl that mob is :3

i have a soft spot for whenever people draw him like this dhjsf

but here's an actual idea (i enjoy drawing hands idk if you can tell)

the original has more pink in the shadows but my camera ended up washing it out rip

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.

The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.

There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.

Will never be over how ???/Shigeo hunted down Teru’s ass for round two after he threw him full across town. He wanted that little gay boy dead. HE PURSUES NO ONE ELSE. HE DOESN’T EVEN GO AFTER REIGEN (REIGEN JUST REPEATEDLY GETS IN HIS WAY). HE LET SHO AND TOICHIRO GO. TOICHIRO. this all happened even before Teru’s “you’re normal after all!!!” comment lmfao. he was just really fucking fed up with him. Teru tries the friendship speech and Shigeo sends him straight to hell same-day shipping.

mob psycho sketch dump because I miss them

the saddest thing about teru for me is that he hates claw so much but has already been indoctrinated by them. he believes that his powers make him better than everyone else, and imo the only place he could’ve learned that is claw. his “protagonist of life” thing could even be thinking he’s a savior for using his powers for “good”, since every other esper he knows is with claw. he’s not just surprised that mob’s a natural esper. he’s surprised that an esper isn’t trying to kidnap him. and after realizing all this his shadow leader days were clearly just a small scale world domination. since teru’s parents left he’s basically being raised by the terrorists he’s fighting

liar? liar!

everyones so mean to him and his ugly ass fashion like have you considered i think he slays

things my therapist has told me that have cracked me open like an egg, pt 2:

"anxiety is like a faulty alarm. it thinks it has sensed smoke and a fire when there is really just dust or deodorant. when you are feeling panic take a deep breath and tell your nervous system: thank you for the warning, but there's no danger here. i am going to press your reset button now."

fraud

will you please take my whimsical ass seriously

Something about Mob Psycho 100 I truly adore is how beautiful and real the platonic love is. I know this has been said again and again but as a younger brother it just slaps me in the face sometimes. I feel like casual platonic intimacy between people who care about each other is so undervalued in media in general, and the way Mob loves people unabashedly and with open tenderness is so important to me.

His open adoration for Ritsu, despite the hurt underneath. My sister and I have hurt each other like breathing over the years, but there is no one on this Earth I would give my life to protect like her. No one else knows me like her. And I see that in Mob and Ritsu.

Mob’s deep love and appreciation for Reigen. The way Mob sees his own loneliness reflected back in Reigen. The way Reigen is the only person who can tell Mob it’s going to be okay and make him believe it. The way Mob collapsed into his arms when he said his family was okay, even when Reigen was lying through his teeth. Not even Dimple’s word was enough. He finally felt safe enough to sleep. How Mob disrupted and terrified an entire room of reporters on purpose, when he’s already scared of his powers, so Reigen wouldn’t have to look so sad and cornered and alone anymore. Remembering his birthday, even when they’d been apart for a long time. Reigen always crouching down, hand on his shoulder, eye-to-eye; mutual saviors. They both entered each other’s lives at the perfect time to say, “You’re going to be okay.”

Even Mob’s love for the ones who have hurt him. His unwavering resolve to help Toichiro Suzuki apologize to his wife and his son—to see them again, to make amends, to build a better life than the one that saw him wandering the world for years and years alone, looking for something more. To channel his vision and his drive into a future that Shou deserves. The way he embraced Serizawa when he felt his fear and his pain and welcomed him into a better life without a shadow looming over his shoulder, accepted him as a peer and a friend that he never had. How Shou burned down his house and nearly made him destroy the world in horrible grief for his family, but still he was roused with anger to defend him from his father’s hand. “I’m sure you have a lot going on. I mean, look at what your own father has done to you.” Look at what the pain has done to all of you. What has it done to me?

Mob and his heart full of love, and the story of how, eventually, that loving heart learns to love itself. God. Shit.

mob needs advice (gone wrong)

[there will be a prequel]
