If You Really Think About It, What Ritsu Was Going To Do For Mob During Confession Arc (allow Himself

i love how reigen specifically picks on mob for being gullible and for letting himself be used by others – which is a BOLD MOVE for someone who is lying to and using him, but it’s such a realistic character trait that reveals so much of his inner turmoil. he resents how easy it’s been to use mob, he wishes mob would make things easier for his OWN conscience by calling him out on it, and of course he’s full of self-disgust over how he’s been taking advantage of mob’s good nature. he could alleviate the guilt by being honest, but he thinks that their relationship will end the moment he does, so he’d rather force mob’s hand than have to confess himself. and part of mob’s reluctance to accept the obvious truth – that reigen has been lying to him – has to be some shame over realizing that he bought the lie, hook line and sinker, for years! so hearing reigen constantly belittle him for being gullible? ouch! reigen is inadvertently pushing mob deeper into repression.

I've had this ageswap story in my head where as a kid Reigen jumps in the middle of the street to save a dog and he meets Mob when Mob shows up to save Reigen (and the doggo) from oncoming traffic. So Reigen stalks Mob to the office and he's genuinely a good kid because little Reigen thinks it's the coolest thing to help people with your powers and Mob acknowledges this and agrees to take him on as his student

Friends, once again :’)

i’m upset that part of the Shigeo/Mob conversation that was cut in the anime was Shigeo holding Mob’s face almost lovingly, with Mob being the one to eventually push the hands away. i just feel like that would’ve added a shit-ton of subtext to the confession arc that the anime didn’t really provide.

It’s heartbreaking but Mob was not at all happy to see Reigen arrive with the gun.

He knew there was nothing Reigen could do. They were apart and he couldn’t transfer his powers to him. More importantly, he couldn’t protect him.

And Reigen knew his presence wasn’t soothing Mob.

Asking him obvious questions, putting the whole blame for the situation on himself and taking it from Mob (it’s not that Mob told everyone he’d do it alone, it’s that Reigen let him go), and then even suggesting things will be fine… Reigen said all of that in a very calm and collected voice, despite the look on his face. He was doing it for Mob’s benefit. 

And since Mob was so fucked up, hearing it worked a bit, and it calmed him enough for I’m to finally faint from all the pain. His head knew Reigen wasn’t going to win, but his heart still believed him. 

Little gif i did for the end of mp100 s3 ! It’s been almost a year… this series has such a special place in my heart, i was so happy to animate a little bit on s3 !

Save him!

I have the bad habit of leaving my computer on sometimes, so my dad always shuts it down because it drives him nuts. but he knows not to close photoshop without saving my drawings and this is the shit he saves them as.
