Despite what his initial reaction might indicate, Mob loved it

[shigayokagayama]

npd teru is real to me in the way autistic mob is in that it's less of a headcanon and more of a lense through which i read the text.

like has any character ever been more "was deprived of vital attention and human connection as a child except for when accomplishing things and developed a pathological need to be the best at everything and seen as special and important by everyone around him to a point where any challenge to that makes them feel like the world is ending as a result" as teruki hanazawa

“I wish I was a girl.”

This comic was inspired from a conversation, that’s why it looks a bit awkward because I cut some things out. (I’m a drawer, not a keyboard. 😏 get it?…)

I hope that some people are able to relate to this, and know that your supported and its good to take ur time.

...Making sense of it all was like untangling a giant ball of yarn without scissors. As far as he could tell, the legalese inferred that there had never been any potential wrongdoings committed towards his person. No abuse. No coercion. No altercations. A dotted line beckoned for his signature on the final page. With a sweaty hand, he scribbled his name. No one here--his friends, his mentor, his leader--had ever held a gun to Teruki's head and asked him to do anything. Joining Claw had been his choice. The possibility that it could have been anything other than his free will had never even entered his head until now. And in the months to come, the thought would not let go...

Teruki's decision to join Claw wasn't initially a hard decision. It was more complicated. For the first time in his life, Teruki had friends, a mentor, and a new family who actually understood him. More than that, he was infatuated with the idea of becoming a stronger ESPer like he'd been promised. Being a part of a larger-than-life ideology made every single day worth living. He took the teachings imparted to heart, but being worthy of heaven wasn't so easy.

More context under the cut

In time, the organization crept into each and every aspect of Teruki's life. You couldn't miss lectures. You couldn't dress the way you wanted. You couldn't go anywhere without permission first.

Above all, you were to remain dedicated to a single man, and a single man alone could save you.

Of course, you didn't have to do any of the above. It was only highly encouraged to follow the expectations if the organization really meant that much to you. Not obeying would make The President very sad. And The President only wanted the best for you, after all...

To deny his leaders wishes was to deny himself.

----

Rebellion was brewing in Claw. Most members were ignorant to the politics happening in the upper echelon, or of Toichiro's loosening grip on the fringes of his massive organization. A contract to silence new converts had been devised up, though no such document would ever hold up in the court of law. It was this very contract that eventually led to Teruki's awakening. Coercion wasn't a word he would use to describe what had happened to him, at first... But eventually, he came to understand that he needed to leave. Somehow. Anyhow.

So, one evening in the middle of a winter storm on the outskirts of Seasoning City, Teruki Hanazawa found himself walking out of the local Claw headquarters without submitting his request for travel. He arrived home without a single personal belonging and took a long, hot shower before curling into bed.

Claw members wouldn't actually come after him, would they?

He'd been confident at first that he could simply leave and wash his hands of all the misdeeds he'd been witness to. Yet in the next few months of being free, in both nightmares and reality, they were there. Dark figures snatching at him with their eager claws, desperately trying to bring him back to The President...

Fighting back was the only thing left to do.

He became a ghost walking through life trapped in an incessant spiral of self-blame and rumination. Had it really been free will? Wasn't this all his fault, in the first place? Would he have to live in fear like this forever? Wouldn't it be easier to just...go back?

His parents couldn't know. He had no friends to talk to anymore. No mentor to guide him.

Without anyone left to confide in, paranoia and isolation swept through Teruki's life like a storm. The best he could do was get even stronger. Stronger than Claw. Stronger than The President. Stronger than anyone.

Hanazawa was smart, after all. He'd seen the entrails of their organization and lived to tell the tale. He'd fought off so many mindless followers and seen so much, that it had to all amount to something. It had to.

Eventually he came to believe that the meaning he had sought all along was closer than he'd realized; that maybe the meaning to life and its secrets were buried within himself, and himself alone.

the people at bsky didnt appreciate it enough/j

but

the idea of teru's parents actually coming back to stay with him after claw is gone and him having to relearn to live with other people (not just leaving the house, saying goodbye when he does leave, his house not being quiet the whole time, having to tell people when he is going to be out all day or until very late at night)

and having to learn to live w the resentment he feels for them for leaving him to his own devices is just oof so interesting to me

Whateverrrrr. Go my Ageswap Terumob Yuri

[shigayokagayama]

thinking again abt teru's reaction to being brainwashed and like. as much as "oooo maybe he knows how to resist it from claw" can be a fun interpretation, i prefer to look at it from an angle of like. teru is a character who likes to be in control. not necessarily over other people, his introspection during 7th division of not really liking intimidating the claw lackeys into following him comes to mind with that, but he likes to put himself in a position where he has control over a situation. he meets someone who could be a threat, he establishes dominance. theres a dangerous situation, he goes in alone. so being that kind of person and feeling something else outside of him trying to influence him, something else taking control of his own mind... of course his anger would be enough to break that.
