Hello! I just read some of your works and fell in love! I didnt know if I should give mob psycho 100 a chance at first but just finished season 3 and must say it is a masterpiece, and you write Reigen so well! I dont know if you accept requests but if you do can you make a drabble/fanfic about Reigen having a shy coworker of a few years who secretly has an only fans and a crush on him? And one day she comes to ask for a raise and he just confronts her about her other job and her obvious crush on him, teasing her? Idk if the idea is silly, thanks in advance in case you ever write it, have a nice day!

*₊˚💬୧ oh my gosh, CONGRATS ON ENRICHING YOUR LIFE BY FINISHING THE PERFECTION THAT IS MOB PSYCHO!! welcome to the fold of reigen aficionados <3 and thank you for your kind words, that means a lot because i try my best with characterization! i think that is really important when writing fics of any kind so i'm happy i'm doing a good job!!!!!!

i don’t really take on requests per se but i just had to run with your idea! with a few tweaks that i hope you don’t mind!

“So this is what you’ve been up to?” Husky and filled with carnal hunger, Reigen’s hot breath fans over the shell of your ear as he sits under you while his hands continue to work, performing circling ministrations from your swollen clit to the juices pooling at your entrance. He’s always been expressive with his digits, but now it’s a whole performance: for him, for you, and for your camera roll. 

You’re too ashamed to speak, capable of only lewd squeaks and pants, as your legs remain parted in an indecent display that should only be reserved for the bedroom. Reserved only for lovers. The intense twitching of your thighs, the fat rolling with every quiver, is too much for him and you have to know, he’s greedy for more of it. 

“You’re not going to answer?” Reigen purrs, nuzzling his nose against your earlobe on his way to your neck, where he starts to nip and suck until your skin flashes and flares under his relentless mouth. You stammer, try to find an explanation fitting for your ex-coworker but how can you even begin? How can you admit to using your office space after hours for your sexual escapades, broadcasted under a pseudonym for a well-paid side hustle? 

His hand suddenly freezes over your cunt, finger titillating close to your trembling clit. You start to babble, anything to get him to start again, “J-just s-sometimes. P-Please, please, please.” Your hips lift from his lap in an attempt to resume the friction and he obliges you, easily slipping inside you with two digits off the bat. “N-No one’s supposed to know.” You’re far too meek for how lewd you look, seated on the lap of a man you’ve fancied for far too long and with your legs parted and bent over his knees, the phone in front of you two capturing every squelch, every moan, and every second of Reigen pumping his fingers knuckle deep inside you.

God, it’s too surreal Reigen has to remind himself that this isn’t a dream, nor the fantasy he’s fucked into his fist nearly every night since he met you. The sight of you, so wrecked with pleasured bliss, reflecting back on the phone screen makes his cock twitch and writhe in his slacks, his member pressing up against the damp fabric from pre-cum and your slick. “Man, I’m glad I came back to get something.” He groans into your skin, latching onto the slope of your shoulder as his fingers scissor and dig against your walls until you’re so tight, there’s no way you can hold back your first orgasm of the night. 

You whine and breath quick and heavy, body falling lax against his chest but he straightens his back out against the chair’s spine, forcing you upright as he pumps your own essence back into you. “Who said we were done? Don’t you want to film another?”

Sans my beloved ❤️ I think he's sexy in his personality and attitude. And he's a really deep character, which you know I'm a sucker for deep characters that are more than what they seem.

Not me getting flashbacks from misreading this thinking you meant he looks sexy- but yea anon, you’re absolutely right! Sans is genuinely a pretty cool and interesting character, it’s probably how he originally got so popular in the first place! (Though AU‘s and his placement as tumblr sexyman probably did the most afterwards)

Sans being not only a, but one of the tumblr sexymen is actually incredibly funny considering he fits absolutely none of the criteria aside from fandom obsession, plus we all know if that poll was actually on tumblr instead of asking Twitter volks, he would‘ve absolutely swept the competition away (probably idk I just find it funny because Twitter isn’t exactly liked here afaik)

The Fiasco Finale of Future [1/2]

So in the penultimate episode of Steven Universe 2, the climax of both the season and series as a whole... is a group hug. As I expected, plenty were not too pleased with this turnout. Some felt it was anti-climatic, some felt it was resonating, and others tried to own the critics by digging deep into the scene like they always do sucking this show’s co- Coming from nearly a month later, I’m... split. One hand, I didn’t mind the climax. On the other hand, it was pathetic compared to plenty of other finales I’ve seen in media. It’s like this show as a whole, I enjoy it, but I also enjoy smacking it upside the head cuz it made some Karen-esque, All Lives Matter type stupid shit that I just cannot get behind. So you know what, Perry the Platypus, let’s mix it up. I wanna express the good and bad of this climactic end to the show and see where we can go from there. You ready?

What’s Good:

You truly wanna know what makes that final hug a great scene? A real showstopper? I have the truth, the best truth behind this, you won’t believe me but here goes. The climax worked because A Hug Is Nice. That’s it, there’s nothing else to it beyond a hug being nice. “But Monkey, you incel troll, there’s should’ve been more to that. The episode shouldn’t have taken that long to get to that point.” Well, in typical fashion, let me put it this way by talking about Spider-Man 2 (better than Spiderverse, don’t @ me). The whole movie is centered around Peter’s life getting shat on. He’s getting fired left and right, his people are abandoning him, he even loses his powers, he’s just at his utter lowest. But at his apartment, while contemplating, in comes his landlord’s daughter, Ursula, who offers him some chocolate cake and a glass of milk.

We can say the scene comes out of nowhere and that this is all that happens, feeling pointless, but I say this is an important scene because after everything that happens to him before, this one gesture from somebody out of nowhere to be honest was one of the nicest things he’s received in a while. It’s the seedling of a scene that keeps Parker going before Doc Ock comes to make him truly spring back into action. Above everything, it was nice. Like a hug.

I don’t need to be philosophically deep with SU2′s meta to tell you that a hug can be a worthwhile thing to get more than anything. It doesn’t resolve all the baggage Steven has in his mind, but a group hug from the people closest to you (and the Diamonds) can be a gesture so nice, it can numb you out, if only for a moment. Only other times where Steven got a hug was when he felt everything could be okay. With Lars, Peridot, and Connie after her “rejection”, and it’s after that “rejection” where he slowly loses it in his attempts to shake off that harsh feeling of abandonment and that everything can be okay. It is something where he can turn to the others for help but the concern of their response makes him reasonably suffer in silence. That last part is a little dumb, but I’ll get to that later. He can’t really hug himself because it doesn’t work like that. The point being that Steven, at his lowest, just needed something nice to consider. And a hug from everyone who loves him (and the Diamonds) can be that piece of chocolate cake he needed to be at ease, again, if only for a moment.

Like let me tell ya, as a deliriously depressed man that constantly wishes for death, a hug shouldn’t be spat on. Whether it be from your friends or mommy, a good hug can, at the very least, keep you sane and going. It isn’t medication, let’s not get it twisted, but a healthy remedy nonetheless, especially if you’ve ever felt touch-starved like I have before. It’s an affectionate gesture that for what it’s worth, should never be taken for granted. And while Steven could’ve well gotten this big type hug at almost any time he desired, I can at least appreciate the show for saving that at the right time. Whew. But, while the moment itself is nice, it’s predictably almost everything around it that unfortunately puts the moment in a vacuum and me with a bad taste in my mouth.

What’s Bad: 

Let’s get this out the way, because I’m such a literal bastard... *inhale*

Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis.

MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!

Congrats on those with the corrupted!steven theories who no doubt had it hard on when this horned trunk ascended, hung its head high, and beat its meaty chest with blind rage, the crewniverse certainly had the balls to go with this design and a long discussion of utilizing Monster Steven’s full potential. And if you think I’m nasty about this, hoo boy, be glad that words are all you’re seeing right now because artists no doubt had a field day potentially ruining this design for you even more. I’m surprised Tumblr’s flagging system hasn’t taken down whole posts with this. HEHEHEHAAAAAAAA!

As you can probably tell, I’m not a fan of this Diamond Dinodildo’s design (say that 5x times fast). I mean Rebecca could be as horny as she pleased with this show, but this is next level, I tell you. But seriously, it honestly sucked that this is what they came up with when it served no purpose to Steven thematically other than him being a literal peen of a monster. Said this before, but what does becoming a corrupted looking amalgamation mean to him beyond “he’s a monster”? Corrupted gems weren’t the worst things in his world, they were products of a even worse thing. Turning into a diamond like figure would’ve said something about the cycle of abuse making you not feel like yourself, but a reflection of who you not only resent more than anyone, but were the indirect causes of your newfound issues. That would’ve took his struggle in the Diamonds Days arc to its next logical extreme, and brought most of Future’s episodes centered around Steven’s issues to a sensible turning point. Being a warped Diamond version of himself would’ve meant finally embracing inhumanity, and that would’ve conveyed the peak of Steven harshly feeling less like a human over the course of the season, especially when we had several episodes and new powers centering around him being inhuman. And a previous episode had him try to shatter a Pink version of White Diamond, two beings generally responsible for everything that’s happened to him. And it isn’t the design that made this a turn off.

What was Steven even gonna do as a monster? He does nothing to the town, he never even makes it pass the cliffside. He doesn’t even try to attack anybody, the only times he does is when he’s provoked by either the Cluster, the Diamonds, or any of the gems. Spinel raised more hell than Steven. So on the look back it’s insultingly sad they hyped up this big dick energy only to do... genuinely nothing. He already didn’t deserve turning into Pinky the Phallisaurus, but having him not even do anything as a monster left far more to be desired. Mob Psycho 100 did this nearly identical, but better. You can’t deny that it would’ve worked better with 22 minutes, actually give him something to do beyond screech and stomp like he’s Scrat from Ice Age. As much as I don’t like Change Your Mind, 45 minutes worked to its favor to do everything it did. Oh wait, this episode did make good use of time... with a fucking pity party.

They wasted my baby

This is. The WORST scene in the entire series and I’ll stand by that 100%. It’s one thing to show something offensive, but it’s another to have something be completely pointless. Yes, Connie talked some sense into them, but we didn’t need to waste time having White Diamond and the others bitch about something everyone who isn’t a toesucking simp should’ve figured out at that point. Not like it mattered, the Diamonds and Spinel never show up after this episode anyways, so good job making them count for something, I guess. This as well as minorly acknowledge the fact that the gems had a lot to do with Steven’s mental trauma because hey, we don’t have to hold these gems too accountable for child neglect. Speaking of which, where was Jasp- This plays well into my previous point, we aren’t shown what Steven was gonna do as a monster, so what else is the episode to do beyond holding him back in time to just make the characters go “All is lost” for one second before getting back up like this is Marvel’s Captain Driftwood?

Friendship is Magic had this type of moment in its penultimate finale but in that, more time was given to show the villains getting the upper hand, Twilight at her low point, her turnaround with her friends, and the lead in charge to defeat the villains. While some moments felt convenient and downright insulting, they made the most of their limit. The same can’t be said for this and it makes no sense. Speaking of things that make no sense:

Was this shapeshifting or corruption? Rushing or dragging? This personally bothers me because people are saying he shapeshifted even when they were also on board with him corrupting. But what was the point where monster Steven cums cries into the ocean turning it pink?

Now if Steven got himself corrupted, this would make sense since the three Diamonds are there with so fully turning him back to normal wouldn’t be an issue. Questions would arise about how corruption can happen to a human, then again this is Steven Universe, fans never really wanted you to ask questions. But if this was shapeshifting, then why have this permanent monster form? It would’ve made a little more sense of Steven changing his shape depending on his emotions, like what we’ve seen before. Additionally, Steven should have been capable of talking normally instead of roaring and growling like he switched brains with an actual animal. Just because he kinned Godzilla’s joystick doesn’t mean he was unable to speak to anybody, that is if he shapeshifted. Lastly, and this is more implicit than my previous points:

This season shouldn’t have tried tacking mental issues and trauma onto this dickslap of a climax. I’m on the side where we should’ve seen more from monster Steven, but what does this tell me for the topic of mental health? Nearly killing people on three separate occasions didn’t help, but having him transform into a near mindless beast is a backhanded way to convey post traumatic stress. Let me put it this way, if we didn’t get that episode where we learn Steven had held up trauma and stress from Doctor Priyanka, everything surrounding it afterward wouldn’t feel as fucked up as it did. Yes, understanding a root of a character’s problems is good, beneficial even, but having your character nearly, sporadically, commit MURDER THREE TIMES only to then have him become a wildin’ creature does nothing, if not disgust. It's disgusting when you talk about PTS one minute and have your main character be socially dangerous the next. You’d feel sorry for him, sure, but I gotta say nearly killing people is not something we should just hand wave. That is not a good or realistic depiction of depression and post traumatic stress; especially when you trying to discuss this with children. And don’t try to justify it by saying it was necessary for his downward spiral. Having to think and see death before my own eyes in real life, there should’ve been a better way to make Steven hit rock bottom without putting other’s lives on the line. It wasn’t compelling or resonating to see him become a witless creature after saying he could get away with anything, it felt jarringly hallow and teeth gritting sadistic to think this was acceptable. It took him turning into a literal creature to finally go to therapy or a throwaway line about therapy in this show’s case? Are you kidding me?

The hug is a nice moment on its own, but it took far too many kneecaps to get to this point and think it’s believably or justly earned. I can make fun of the monster design all I want, but what they put Steven through to get to this point is the most insulting writing I ever have to think about. Because you know what that hug told me, personally? It’s that you can commit near irrefutable atrocities, you can behave like a blithering rampaging beast all you wish, but that won’t matter. Because you’re valid and your people will love you. That is not only asinine, but it kinda pissed on what I went through growing up. Like, as idealistic as that felt, it didn’t add up because it made the mentally unstable come off as more unstable than they mostly are. You can disagree all you want with this, it won’t change the baffling fact that I came to this conclusion in the first place when I didn’t want to. “But the crew said in an interv-” NO, just nope. If the message the show gives is this polarizing for those that invested or were concerned with it, maybe the message wasn’t clear enough, who knows? I can believe Mr. Rogers never fucked this up when he made his show. I tried thinking of this differently, but I can’t excuse what they did and how they did it. Bojack Horseman never pulled this with its main lead and when it truly did, that was given more time to sort out; not an 11 minute epilogue in its final moments. The hug was nice, but this episode was trash.

Speaking of which, next time...

We Finally Look to the Future

Here’s Part 2, if you’re up.

[thescrapbookingscientist]

Biweekly Media Roundup

- The Sandman (TV) - I suppose Sandman was a bit of a grower for me, as while I did enjoy my first watch quite a bit, it was only a few weeks later after engaging in some fan content and revisiting it that I really appreciated it. I standby that it’s not flawless but I was less bothered by expectations the second time around and was able to appreciate the cinematography and overall themes a lot more. Dream is a great character in both concept and portrayal, so easy to root for and simultaneously so fun to bully. I do really hope Netflix doesn’t screw it over and actually greenlights a season 2 soon, I’m really interested in seeing how the rest of the Endless are portrayed given how interesting the ones we got were. Anyway Episode 6 deserves all the awards, we love Death and Hob here.

- Do Revenge (Movie) - Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with this one - I heard quite a bit of people hyping it up as a fun callback to 90′s and 00′s teen comedies, but I can’t say I found it particularly interesting or funny.  I wanted to like it- I was getting Jennifer’s Body vibes at first - but there were just too many extraneous characters, not enough comedy, and too little impactful or memorable moments overall. I don’t know, I don’t want to be too mean as I don’t think it was completely inept, there were some interesting costume designs and plot twists, but I can’t say I got much out of watching it or would ever be interested in seeing it again.

- Holes (Movie) - Yearly rewatch of Holes with my sister, man is this movie so good, just textbook clever writing in how well it ties everything together and makes every little detail meaningful. Also, what a unique concept and setting.

- Shadow’s House (Anime) - So we come to a close on Shadow’s House season 2 and man, do I hope the Japanese viewership was high enough to warrant a season 3 because this show is so underrated and underappreciated here in the west. I do kind of get why - the genre mixing of an engaging horror mystery and slower paced slice-of-life esque shenanigans make it hard to recommend to fans of one or the other, as the horror fans will likely find the occasional slow of pacing for interpersonal stuff annoying to the pace of the mystery while cutesy fans could definitely be turned off by some of the more horrific imagery and concepts. I don’t mind as much personally as I find both the characters and their relationships charming as well as the mystery and horror elements super well done, but even I felt the pacing drag a bit between each major revelation. It reminds me a lot of Princess Tutu - a genuinely great anime full of both whimsy and dark elements that is super creative in concept but quite hard to sell people on thanks to it’s child friendly slow buildup. I might wait a bit to see if a season 3 will be announced before reading the manga, but I absolutely will be returning to the series at some point, as I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the concept and execution of the mystery and the slow reveal of the Shadow Family.

- Mob Psycho 100 (Anime) - Yup yup. Congrats to Reigen for sweeping all those twitter polls btw. The Tumblr Sexyman Poll will go down in history forever.

- Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Anime) - They Yassified Dio. Also I know all Jojo outfits are ridiculous but seriously, wtf is pink boy wearing. 

- Star Trek: Lower Decks (TV) - Hey Lower Decks is back sweet! Still love the whole cast as well as just the concept of a show about the lives of the one-off/lower ranking background crew members rather than the higher ranking officers. The show can get pretty creative with it’s episode ideas and settings which I definitely appreciate, but to be honest I’ll never get tired of seeing the cast watch some crazy alien shit go down only to casually respond with “ugg not this shit again” and then cutting to them having to deal with the collateral after someone else fixed the issue. Not that the cast doesn’t get plenty of heroic  moments to shine, there’s just a great comedy in seeing them treat cursed mind controlling death masks and killer robot outbreaks with the same level of concern as a typical tax accountant filing a report. 

- Made in Abyss (Anime) - Okay we are 6 episodes into the 3rd season and it’s gotten a little better, more focus on lore and plot rather than. the other stuff it was doing. Hope it can stick to that so I don’t feel weird about watching it. 

- Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (Webnovel) - Rather than binging this I’m slowly making my way through the audiobook. Honestly my attention kinda waned during a fairly early arc due to it’s reliance on the audience being familiar with korean history but now that that’s through it’s starting to get pretty engaging again. It will probably be awhile before I’m finished but I’m glad to have it.

Listening to: Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift, House of Memories by Panic!

[animentality]

So yuri on ice won every category it was nominated for, as I predicted.

It won by a large quantity.

Mob psycho 100, well, guess your animation sucked.

Be ashamed for having the breathtaking telekinetic power surges and wildly creative colorization of emotional eddies in animated form.

next time have some more ass shots, huh?

Yuri on ice won most heartwarming over an abused girl’s first normal meal in Erased.

Lmao abused girl eating a home cooked meal and crying just doesn’t top two guys almost making out on the ice and the nonexistent homophobic riots in their respective countries that followed.

Yuri on ice also won best ending and opening, but that’s not in dispute because music means nothing so far as quality.

Ok.

Well.

I was wrong, yuri on ice fans are either somewhat sane or they just didn’t have the numbers to insert their anime into every other category.

Let’s go the neutral route and assume they had the numbers but some measure of decency.

They dominated their poll groups as expected.

Poor Erased and Mob Psycho didn’t have a chance.

Too hetero, I guess.

Well.

What can I say?

I’m two for two.

I was right.

I knew that when you get Tumblr onto something, they won’t let it go.

But here’s something you should consider as you crow that all of you yoi fans going to the polls to vote is a clear sign that your gay anime’s win is revolutionary..:

How well would you have done if yuri on ice had shown in January 2016?

And not at the tail end of the year?

Would an earlier release have looked so kindly on your numbers?

Well we’ll never know hypotheticals I suppose.

Congrats yuri on ice!

You won over an abused girl being fed and an animation marvel that literally surpassed one punch man, which if you remember, looked so fucking real it propelled one punch man almost into the mainstream consciousness, by studio fucking bones. All On sex appeal. I mean popularity.

Popularity contests sure make a person feel goooood, amirite?

No one cares about quality, we just want charisma.

That’s how we choose our presidents and how we choose our favorites.

I was wrong. Knowing I’m right as always doesn’t make me feel any better.

I’m going back to bed.

[blackrabbit-megapig]

chocolatetwirls replied to your chat “JUST FOR CLARIFICATION”

I feel like it shouldn't have gotten best animation or most heartwarming. Also, in my opinion, I didn't really like the opening or ending songs and wouldve rather had mob psycho 100 or boku no hero academia win those. Best boy was also iffy. Yuri is kinda a boring character to me. The only interesting thing about him was his anxiety issues. And even then, there were better male characters in yoi. I wouldn't have minded victor winning best boy. Best couple I'm fine with.

@chocolatetwirls I read all your replies and yeah, maybe YOI shouldn’t have gotten all those awards, but it was fan-decided, so what can you do //shrugs

IMO besides animation and most heartwarming, every other category was fair game. It was a popularity contest and if some people couldn’t grasp that and move on, I don’t know what to say to them. Maybe they should’ve rallied other fans to vote if it was that important to them. You can’t get mad at YOI fans for doing what they were supposed to do.

It just makes me mad when people use this as an opportunity to start slinging hate at each other. That I don’t like. 

And referring to TheAnimeMan, I just felt embarrassed for him tbh. I thought he was gonna do a video that showed controled, mature frustration and critique CR for their lack of choices. Maybe that was my mistake for putting that much faith in him, but instead he decided to spend 30min ragging on a show that he claims he analyzed from a “non-yaoi fangirl” perspective and found no redeeming qualities. 

As a YOI fan, I DID in fact watch Mob, and Re:Zero, and Kabanari, and Flip Flappers, and a large number of 2016 anime titles, because I’M AN ANIME FAN. I’m also a female who consumes yaoi media, yet I didn’t vote for YOI for every category. And based on what TheAnimeMan was implying, I think he thinks that people like me just voted blindly without watching everything else and thinking objectively. 

Look, if a show can cause real, PROFESSIONAL figure skaters to watch it through to the end and rake in 60k disc sales on its FIRST VOLUME ALONE (with like 5 others to go that haven’t even been released yet) considering the budget it had to work with and how much Kubo and Yamamoto had to fight to get it greenlit, then there was SOMETHING redeemable. He was overreacting and was a little unfair in my opinion.

When I checked the comments on his video there were people who were making valid arguments about the show and were very respectful when they tried to defend it, but then he goes on social media and is like “LOL the YOI fangirls are SOOOO butthurt LOL!!!111″ Like, buddy boy, you’re the one that was pissed off enough to make a 30min rage video. Congrats, you played yourself. Even Gigguk made fun of you.

And also, if a person simply states that they don’t like YOI because they thought it was boring or that it wasn’t their type of show or whatever, THAT’S COMPLETELY FINE! You don’t have to like something just because others do. You have tastes and you have preferences. Someone shouldn’t get labeled as homophobic or whatever because they don’t like YOI. However, when people who don’t like the show start to be unnecessarily cruel to fans, that’s not okay. We all need to chill. 

And some of TheAnimeMan’s fans were so disgusting like, you can make fun of the YOI fandom all you want and complain about it being toxic, but you need to check your fans dude. People like Gigguk handled the Anime Awards in the right way: like a big joke and something that shouldn’t have been taken seriously. It’s for fun, it means nothing, EVERYONE BUT *YOU* HAS SHIT TASTE!

I just wish people could have a conversation about something and argue respectfully without having to resort to name calling and putting people down. On both sides. This was a mistake.

(Hopefully I don’t get pegged as a rabid, butthurt YOI fangirl for having these opinions. I just want people to be respectful, preferences and all. Sorry for ranting.)

[explodingpringlescans]

Congrats, Mob Psycho 100 fans!
