I can't believe Mob Mob Psycho 100 has died 😔 F, rest in peace, you'll be missed.... 🙏

[ID: art of Mob from Mob Psycho 100 laying on the ground, in the family guy death pose, flowers in his slack hand and blood pooling underneath him. Above him, there is the letter "F". End ID.]

Happy Birthday Reigen 🌟

dialogue:

[A salt lamp.] [Another salt lamp.] [Also another salt lamp.]

Reigen: "You kids think you're real funny, don't you?" Tome, Teru, Mob: "...." Tome: -cough- [They accidentally had the same gift idea.]

Reigen: "I guess I can still use them but wow, what are the chances! Right, Serizawa?" "Now what did you get me?" [It was another salt lamp.]

Made Teru extra sparkly cause he deserves it

i see a lot of people talk about edward being disabled in fma, but it's less often talked about how alphonse is also disabled. i think it's partially because alphonse doesn't experience physical pain like edward so for a majority of the series, he's not having any of those kind of symptoms, but he is still disabled. also because alphonse's experiences are unique. like you don't see ant walking, talking suits of armour in real life (unless they're piloted by a human being physically inside them) and in world, there are about 3 others like alphonse).

alphonse is dependent on edward's survival to function. after fighting scar for the first time, alphonse is literally in pieces. he can't walk or anything until edward is in a position to fix him. similarly his body is dependent on nutrients from edward's body. like there's the point towards the end where edward gets impaled and alphonse collapses. furthermore, these periods where alphonse collapses start to become debilitating towards the end of the series and massively alter his daily living.

also, alphonse constantly talks about how upsetting it is for him to not feel any physical sensations. yeah, he's not feeling physical pain, but he's also not feeling the warmth of a fire, the sun on his face, or the fluffiness of the cats he keeps petting. he talks a lot about not being able to eat or sleep, and how there's a lot of foods he wants to try.

there's another thing that highlighted by edward at one point. alphonse's body doesn't regenerate at all. the parts scar destroys are gone forever; edward stretches out the metal that alphonse has left to repair his body. and obviously human beings don't regrow limbs, but imagine if your skin didn't ever heal over a cut. how long would your body last?

also alphonse gets told several times that his body is great throughout the series, and he literally argues against it every time, because to him it is shit. like he is missing some of his senses just for some supposedly immortal body that isn't even immortal.

even once alphonse gets his own body back, the amount of physical therapy the boy has to go through. his body has essentially been doing nothing and only receiving what nutrients it can get from edward for years. by the end of the series, he's still using a cane as a walking aid. it's unknown whether he requires that cane for the years to come, but for at least a period of time he requires a mobility aid. I don't know enough to say what effect muscle decay from inactivity and severe malnourishment during a major portion of his teenage years would have long term.

If Mob met Reigen four years ago when he was ten, and Reigen’s 27 at the start of the show, that means Reigen started S&S when he was 23.

If he took the usual education path that means he started college at 18 and left four years later at 22.

Which means:

Either Reigen has no college degree and has been winging it this whole time.

Or he had a professional office job for ONE WHOLE YEAR before going ‘fuck this’ and started a career as a pretend ghostbuster.

Quitting his job is framed as this big life changing move brought on by depression but we might need to consider that Reigen’s just always been this weird

No wonder his mom’s so mad at him

Hi @just-anarchie, I was your @mp100secretspirit secret spirit this year! You said you liked serirei/serizawa so here's a moment in which umbrellas get left behind for a bit so serizawa & reigen can play in the rain. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays!! :)
