#[ head in my hands in despair ]

[vulturevanity]

Katarina: Maria Campbell is exceptionally kind, hard-working and talented, not to mention beautiful and graceous in a way I could never hope to be; I love and admire her greatly for it, and the feeling grows with every moment I spend with her. Anyone would be very lucky to be graced with her companionship and falling for her is as easy as breathing. Status and money are irrelevant to me, nothing would make me happier than living by her side for the rest of our lives. I could kiss her a million times and I actually almost asked her to marry me once. I am heterosexual

Thinking about an AU where Ritsu is the one who ends up being Reigen's student instead. Say he's there when Mob sees the sign, dissuades him from going in because "it's probably a scam anyway!" But then of course, little envious Ritsu ends up coming back the next day, unable to help himself at the chance, the possibility that someone could help him develop psychic powers like his brother. He figures Reigen out almost immediately, of course, because he demands to be shown Reigen's power. But Ritsu is desperate, and Reigen has always had a kind way with words, and soon enough Ritsu and Reigen are going ghosts adventures! Leaving Mob behind :') Even more alone than before :'))

And as S&S fills up with things of ACTUAL spiritual significance, like artifacts and purified salt and herbs at Ritsu's obsessive insistence as he tries to find an in to psychic powers and Reigen tries to encourage him without encouraging him, Ritsu and Reigen get closer. Ritsu is more surly than Mob, less inherently trusting and more emotional, more easily annoyed—but he has no reason to hate Reigen in this verse. Reigen has never even met Mob, much less used his powers for his own gain. Reigen grows incredibly fond of this desperate boy, good at everything but the one thing he wants to be good at, and tries to lead him away from those feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. In turn, Ritsu himself is healthier. A little easier going, though still almost perpetually bristling with temper 😮‍💨

He and Mob are closer as a result! He becomes Mob's only friend, more open with his own thoughts and feelings and, thanks to Reigen, far less afraid of him. Mob is more emotionally stunted than ever, and though he has some tentative acquaintances in the Telepathy club, he's still mostly alone and isolated. All of Reigen's helpful advice on dealing with his autism (identified by how Ritsu speaks about his Shige-nii and the behaviors he says he exhibits) is relayed through Ritsu, who comes to understand Mob a little more because of it.

But—oh, didn't I mention? This is a soulmate AU :)

Ritsu has two marks; one for Mob, and one for Reigen. Mob never develops a mark for Ritsu, but he expects that, obviously. Reigen also doesn't develop a mark for Ritsu, but given their age difference, Ritsu also expects that. He's a smart boy, and he knows that not all soulmarks are reciprocated. It's fine. They don't need to be. Ritsu has mostly made peace with his lot in life.

That is, before Mob and Reigen finally meet in person. And instantly develop matching soulmarks.

...Ritsu's psychic awakening is only slightly better than his brother's.

[astralpenguin]

[cornertheculprit]

so wholly obsessed with the idea that mia is the one who taught phoenix how to play poker in the first place

[bornetoblood]

I am so silly about Gehrman’s cut dialouge. He is so very very miserable in the Dream and he knows how to get out of it. But he’s not gonna do that is he? No cus he promised this dead guy he’d wait for him.

[despair-tea]

that book was pretty good, yea. glad I came back around and finished it.

the (part 1 - end) at the end is so funny - you mean after they resolved all the problems in the story, that's just the beginning? The beginning of the rest of their lives? lmao

[glomscrooge]

I understand why people carry dt17 scrooge's teasing into glomscrooge content based on the show, but please consider how embarrassing it would be for him to admit that he likes this glomgold. I'd kill myself honestly

[trophygony]

[onemightygoldfish]

Having songs stuck in your head is such a cool concept in theory, but in practice?? ....like wdym I have the; "Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? What do you wanna say? What do you think will change? Maybe I'm afraid of you. Maybe I'm afraid of you." and NOT TO MENTION the "I'll bite the hand that feeds me Bite the hand. Bite the hand that needs me. Bite the hand." part of Bite The Hand by Boygenius playing on loop in my brain??? Like... wdym??? Hmmm??? Why would you do this to me?????? What have I done to the gods?? Can they at least tell me why they're punishing me??!
