#and i never will. and neither will teru

[quirkle2]

he's such a fuckin nerd

[gumy-shark]

Re: the Shou and Teru roomate situation I think it's sooo. Interesting to think of the different and same ways they have been affected by Claw. Shou not having a place to stay after the world domination arc bc like where is he supposed to go/where was he even staying to begin with. And Teru bc Claw BLEW UP HIS APARTMENT...

EXACTLY!!

also btw their friend group does not find out about this situation until shou invites ritsu over to hang out and the same time teru invites mob over. from then on teru forces shou to coordinate calendar events with him once a week to prevent conflicts from happening again

[ltlemon]

thinking about how if tsubomi accepted mob’s confession for whatever reason, how utterly Shit it would go. the world’s most autistic aroace boy and the school popular girl are like so doomed to crash and burn and it would be Incredibly fun to watch.

first off, mob really doesn’t have a crush on her.

he knows her from kindergarten and they’ve rarely spoken since-they might’ve counted as friends before, but now they’re much closer to just acquaintances. fact is, he doesn’t know her. he’s interpreting these feelings of adoration, nostalgia, and a desire to reconnect, as what’s entailed for a romantic crush. he likes a girl, she’s pretty and popular, so this must mean he likes her.

tsubomi is the shape of a person. she’s an ideal to adore, a fantasy to think towards, but she’s not a part of a real grounded relationship, nor is he ever setting her up to be.

don’t get me wrong here! he definitely likes her well enough, and maybe thinks she’s beautiful, in an aesthetic sense, but he doesn’t really ever involve himself in those feelings. they’re very analytical, they’re treated not as reasons he loves her, but just as…things. when mezato asked him “what exactly do you like about her”, he seemed genuinely shocked, like he’d never really thought about it. he stood there and tried to think about something that he loved about specifically her, some reason or some sign that he was in love, and there was nothing. all he could say was that she respected him.

so anyways. what i’m getting to with this, is that i honestly don’t think mob planned any further ahead than just…”confess”.

she’s the ideal crush, this far away idea of the girl he should like, and she doesn’t exist outside of that. since there isn’t anything deeper, if she accepted him…??? GOD.

i actually don’t think he’d know where to go from there. he didn’t plan that far ahead, even though she was the goal, this carrot on a stick the whole time.

there’d be so many weird attempts at dates and outings, they’d do “couple things” but neither really knows the other enough to know what they like, or how to talk to each other, especially with the sudden change in relationship.

mob never thought to bring her flowers or a gift until teru told him that was a thing couples usually do. so following that, he’d probably mainly instigate things in that same sort of “well, this is what couples do” sort of way. adhering to the societal expectations of how you should act when you get the girl. their relationship would be empty and forced, dragging each other along… and i just think it’s interesting because. that would be the standard ending right? boy gets a crush, works really hard on himself, musters up the courage to confess, then they get together and it’s great and everyone’s happy forever!!!

but one of the main messages of the whole show is literally “we’re all living our own lives, and we have to be ourselves despite it all.”, and having the classic guy meets girl ending specifically and loudly not click with who mob is as a person is a Very Interesting Choice. dating tsubomi, while also obviously not what she would ever choose, would also crash and burn for mob. him ending up with her would mean not being himself, and that’s basically textual. mob’s happy ending is literally accepting his emotions and walking away smiling at rejection. if that’s not so incredibly aroace of him i don’t know what is. 🎉

My take on ‘teruaoi’ in the new chapter ❗️❗️ (spoilers obviously)

Ive seen people take in the new teruaoi thing differently, from how it could erase akane’s entire personality to the exact opposite, but i think personally the teruaoi thing might be good (for now at least)

for the entire manga since very VERY early on (book 1), it was established that akane was entirely for aoi, not changing himself or pretending to like things aoi likes, but like worshipped her with his entire being, but he seemingly prioritizes her happiness, above actually being with her.

so when he found out teru and aoi were getting engaged, he tried to go back to the clock, and remembered he needed the other clock keepers to do so.

Realizing he can’t do anything, despite how much he doesn’t like it, he lets it be. Maybe aoi’s happier with teru? Who knows.

for just about the first time in the entire manga, this almost COMPLETELY severs akane from aoi, giving him (again for the VERY first time in the almost 10 years tbhk has existed) a chance to be just akane.

we need to remember akane is under the impression teru likes aoi, he might assume since one is happy, the other is too. Whenever teru teases him with ‘what if i asked out akane-san’ he never considers or even thinks aoi will reject him, he assumes they’ll be happy together since teru’s happy (spoiler neither of them are)

rounding this back to my initial point, since aoi is no longer apart of his personality (if he really does accept teruaoi as is) he will act simply as him, not as aoi’s fucking worshipper but yk just him

the only time i think we’ve seen this before is when aoi’s in the far shore and teru&akane are like going around town after the karaoke date but before they actually go back to retrieve her.

And during this time may i say teru was almost making moves on him?? Like not blatant but i’d say some of the most compelling evidence that ‘teru likes akane’ is shown all relating to aoi, but ALWAYS when she’s conveniently not there to witness.

Whether aoi’s stuck in the far shore or being married off to someone, whenever aoi’s not present and/or in some kind of difficult situation terukane really pulls through. 😭 who knows maybe it’ll be another ‘coming back closer than before’ kind of falling out they’ve had like 5 times already after this arc. HOW MUCH CLOSER CAN YOU GET LIKE KISS ALREADY

maybe this might push akane to do things he’s never done, maybe we see a side of akane we’ve never had the chance of seeing before, who knows.

this is simply all my interpretation, if you see something different here pls tell me im very interested. Terukane REAL

[thelunarfairy]

Hi! I just saw your post about Nene and this question came to my mind. Do you think that Nene and Tsuchigomori are similar in that sense? Since neither of them likes to intervene in other people's problems…

Yes, but there is an important difference between Nene and Tsuchigomori.

And that is the simple fact that Tsuchigomori recognizes that he was oblivious, that he didn't care enough, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS WORRIED about Amane.

Yes, he was concerned, he asked if everything was okay, he was interested in knowing if Amane was going to tell him. You saw Tsuchigomori asking him directly what was going on and Amane not answering and even getting angry about it.

The thing is, Tsuchigomori knew what was going on, yes, he knew, he asked but he didn't take the liberty of actually doing anything about it.

But, I believe that if Amane had been honest with him, Tsuchigomori would have helped. And yet, even after he didn't do anything, he regretted it.

TSUCHIGOMORI REGRETTED IT.

It's no wonder he actually continues to help and be by Amane's side, protecting him in any way he found. Tsuchigomori is still there, and he regrets not having helped Amane so much that his yorishiro was Amane's lunar rock.

And remember, HE IS A SUPERNATURAL.

He has no connection or obligation to Amane, and yet, he was more empathetic to Hanako than Nene.

Nene was curious to know Hanako's past at first, and Hanako promised that one day he would tell her, but if she was really that interested then why didn't she take advantage of any moment when the twins gave her the opportunity to talk about the past?

When Nene found out about Hanako's past, she wanted to run away, she wanted to abandon him (which is something I understand, seeing her situation at the time) but she decided to stay.

This means that she can't handle such a heavy story and Hanako's feelings, even if she was interested in knowing what happened to Hanako in the past.

And here we have another point, I said that Tsuchigomori has no connection or obligations with Hanako, but Nene is in love with him, she wants him to be her boyfriend.

So she OBLIGATORILY, must worry about him.

We saw that in the conversation she had with Mitsuba, she wanted to become his girlfriend so that Hanako could talk about the past, and for that reason I thought about the convenience of the script.

She wants to know his story, but at the same time she is oblivious.

See Hanako suffering, see his traumatic childhood, see his brother lost in a house that appeared out of nowhere AND DON'T TELL HIM.

She knows that Hanako has a lot of weight on his shoulders, she wants to know the story, what happened, but what about his feelings?

The PP arc chapter is sad because of this. You can clearly see how she doesn't consider his feelings. Amane is always trying to be with her, trying to give her a good day, asking her to go to the movies, he was literally having a day he dreamed of.

Even when Tsukasa showed up, he was clearly showing his feelings.

She didn't notice any of this, and if she did, she never mentioned it.

She never asked (even though she knew Amane was Hanako) about him asking her to go to the movies, about him saying he "wasn't going anywhere".

I could spend all day giving examples.

That's why this arc is sad, it's the moment when Amane felt free to show his feelings, which Nene doesn't see.

Nene was worried about finding Hanako.

I won't blame her for that, but not even when they were on the roof did she stop for a bit and pay attention to him.

When they finally talked, it was about HER, about her lifespan, not about him.

Nene, despite all this, still tried to show a bit of empathy when she said that she would stay in the current reality because Hanako hadn't died and become an adult.

But still, she failed at that too, because, as TERU HAD TO SAY, YES, THE GUY WHO HATES HANAKO HAD TO TELL NENE, WHO LOVES HANAKO, that there was no guarantee that he would be happy in this reality.

Do you see how superficial she is with Amane?

Tsuchigomori knew, he tried to help, he asked, he bandaged him, he TRIED, but he didn't have enough courage to tell Amane that he knew the whole truth, and he regrets it.

He is happy to see that Amane is happy with Nene and Kou.

But Nene can't realize that Hanako wouldn't be happy when Tsukasa isn't with him, when Tsukasa isn't completely "normal" and safe like he wants.

That's the difference.

And that's great, this manga talks about feelings, about how the characters have difficulty talking about it.

And in this case we see Nene, who finds it easy to talk about how she feels, but has difficulty showing interest in finding out how other people feel, even the people she loves.

Nene is developing, and I hope she learns to deal with it.

Meeting someone who doesn't exist

[ ONE-SHOT ] [ Hanako, Yashiro & Kou ]

[ Toilet Bound Hanako-kun / Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun ]

I saw something similar to this happening in two of my favorites stories and I was like fuck off, I'll write about it!!

I enjoyed writing this SO MUCH!!! I hope you enjoy reading it too ❤️

One day an interesting aparition started to wander around the school, no one really knows from where it came from or how long it has been here, not even the supernaturals knows about it, even the leader of the seven misteries were surprised the first time he saw you

Hanako, as the leader of the seven, has to make sure you wouldn't be here to cause problems to humans or supernaturals, so when he finally noticed you he started making his research, aproaching you in hopes to solve this peacefuly (and dragging Yashiro and Kou with him). Words more or words less, Hanako was very clear with his intention to know you better, mainly your name and your reason to be there, however he encounter a problem that he would never guess it could happen, you cannot answer his question because you don't know the answer

All of them were surprised by your answer but tried to help you remeber, is normal to ghosts to don't remember about their previous life as humans so they just assumed it was that (or wanted to believe that it was that), is more likely that they end up dragging you around the school in hopes that something, anything could bring you memories (honestly, it was more Kou and Yashiro's idea), they drag you all around the school, the classrooms, the clubs, even where the borders are but nothing was of use, you couldn't remeber anything, you couldn't even remember your name

The whole situation was not only weird but also suspicious, deciding to move forward more cautiously all of them (mostly by Hanako's hand) started to drag you with the supernaturals in hopes that they could be of help, even just an advice could be of use. When the options began to run out they opted to even try to search for your book with Tsuchigomori, but it was usless since you don't know your name; as last resource they visited the first mistery, asking their help in an attempt to know more about your past, but they couldn't help neither because you don't have a past

In a attempt to be able to solve the confusing puzzle you are, Kou had even resorted to ask Teru for his help, making him promise that he won't get violent with you (or Hanako) right away before even letting him meet you, Teru accepted only because his brother asked him and for how he talked about you he actually wanted to know you (because he wanted to make sure you weren't just hiding your intentions and be a threaten), but the moment Teru finally met you he was completely taken aback, he take a full moment to watch you closely, trying to comprehend you, but at the end his conclusion wasn't better than from the others, according with Teru you shouldn't be even here, you weren't human but you weren't a supernatural neither, you simply aren't anything, even when they can see you, talk to you and even touch you you just don't exist

No matter what they do to try to help you or find out more about you, the more they try the more strange the situation turns to be, they can't help to feel completely worry about you, specially when you don't seem too bothered by it, yes, you may be surprised by everything and worried at first but no matter what else you find out there is always the feeling inside of you that tells you that it is okay, you don't have to afraid since this is the way it should be

At some point, and thanks to their help, you did finally was able to understand that you being here was an error, some time ago you had given up to not only your life but your complete existance, you had been completely erradicated from the world for a greatest good, something that, in your eyes, was totally worthy of the sacrifice you were doing and you don't feel any kind of regret about your decision, even if at this point you don't remember anything about it and you know you shouldn't even be there you were at peace about it

Hanako was completely confused, he didn't undestand at all, Yashiro were terrified by the posibility of you don't existing and even being an error your presence, and Kou couldn't just bring himself to even accept that fact, it was too much to process for the poor guys, and yet seeing you take this situation so naturally was even more confusing. They couldn't just undestand nor accept the fact that you shouldn't exist

How could you say that you don't exist or shouldn't be here when they can see you and touch you? You had even became their friend! All this time that all of you were trying to trying to find answers you had share a lot, you were having fun, getting all confused and worried together, and all of that wasn't a lie, you did laugh and worry with them, you talked and shared a lot with them, you can't just came and say that you shouldn't be here now

By trying to help you (and probably try to cope with the shock) Yashiro bring out the thought that since you are here then you exist! even if the world refused to aknowledge you they can see you and that is more than enough for them to know that you exist, so with that it mind Yashiro, followed by Kou and Hanako, were now determinated to give you a new life, to aknowledge your existance, and the first step to do that was giving you a name

Mob Psycho 100 X Gegege no Kitaro Crossover (pt. 2)

Salutations. I made this post a few days ago and it seemed like quite a few people liked it!!! Me @ all 20 something of you: have some more food💕💕💕

As always, press/click for quality and for the full image!!! (I sharpened them so they are easier to read, but they might hurt on the eyes a little??? Maybe??? I'm sorry if it does;;;)

Also there's a sand grain in my phone's camera;;; my bad if you spot it (I will find ways to clean it I prommy;;)

Intro image because this post is going to be LONG ⤵︎⤵︎⤵︎

(WHY IS MY NEZUMI THE BEST DRAWN CHARACTER ON THIS POST THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DRAWING HIM AHAHAHA)

I'm not sure what timeline this is, but I just threw in some sketches of characters that I thought would have interesting interactions (specifically the Claw/Ryūga interactions because I don't think they'd fit in timeline wise). But GOD, please let Tome and Neko Musume interact I'm begging!!!!

Also I just wanted to practice drawing muscles;;; that's my excuse for drawing the combat-trained dads undressed.

(Also also I’m still proud of the “Mizuki-kun” thing;;; like, it makes ME happy ;w;

And Gege/Iwa/Mizu is like the first poly ship of mine (I do not know their ship name;;) just in general and they make me so happy!!! Headcanon that Iwako comes back for Obon—(maybe she’d be a spirit guide just like Dimple?))

↪︎ Maybe I won’t use this in this AU (if it even becomes large enough), but can we all just pretend that Mizuki’s name is “Shigeru”? 😭 Mostly bc of the creator of Gegege no Kitaro but also bc hearing Mob’s mom call him “Shige” and have both Mob and Mizuki turn around would be actually kinda funny—

※I'm sorry, Ritsu's dialogue on the second panel is so unreadable (my sleepy handwriting is JANK);;; It says: "Just because you aren't blood related doesn't mean you can't have powers. Neither of my parents have any."

Anyway, I apologize for the Mizuki takeover I drew him so much (I remembered his scar this time I'm sorry sir);;; but anyway I wanted him and Ritsu to interact because I bet Ritsu would be like: "nah this bro gonna get his powers soon, watch" and Mizuki'd be like: "whatchu sayin' little man???" (bc Ritsu was able to awaken after Dimple's influence)

↪︎ (This is also based on everyone's art in the JP side of the fandom where we're all in denial of the ending credits of the movie so we make Mizuki a hybrid and give him his memories back to make up for it 👍 I just realized I'm never not in denial wtf)

Also have some Gegerō sketches because I didn't give him enough love last time (c'mon we all love our hot grandpa I'm no different than any of you)

I like the concept of fusing with Dimple giving Gegerō back his body and scaring the shit out of everyone lol (and him thinking that Teru's his kin because of his massive hair... and then teaching Teru to use his hair like an extra appendage (though this doesn't really make much sense MP100-wise,,, maybe it's a specific kind of telekinesis?))

I also like the concept of Mizuki living for so long he looks at Ritsu's homework and is like: "yoooo ww2's in there already? that was fast" and Ritsu would just combust on the spot--//shot

Anyway, there's a lot of notes on the sketches themselves, too, so, have at it everyone!!!

Once again, this isn't a serious crossover, but I'm willing to make it serious if I get more ideas (give me some ideas if y'all have any)!!!!

[oceanwithouthermoon]

i think every single person in saikis group still sleeps with at least one stuffed animal, or in a few cases wants to but is too insecure to and just has lots of pillows/blankets instead (idc that weve literally seen some of their bedrooms and they arent like this idc idc its the vibe)

its saiki, kuboyasu, and saiko that are too insecure btw👍

yume definitely has the MOST stuffed animals on her bed, i think she barely has space for herself😭definitely makes little outfits for them too, probably has at least one teddy bear that she changes into pajamas every night with her

imu is in second place for the most

aiura only has a few but theyre really big ones, like a body pillow sized tiger stuffy and a unicorn or something like that

teru has a pretty regular teddy bear with various accessories she probably sews herself.. like cute little bows and scarves.. she also has a few stuffed animal keychains, and a couple of cutesy stuffies she got from yumehara

mera used to have a lot of those food themed stuffed animals on her bed, like sushi cats or burger cats if you know what im talking about, but she would get extra delirious in the mornings when she was hungry and try to take bites out of them☠️they are now stored on her desk or in her closet and her bed has just a few bunnies and cats yume gave her

hairo strikes me as the type of guy to keep his childhood stuffed animals and blankeys for the rest of his life because they mean something to him.. so he probably has a standard teddy bear, along with some superhero blankets and some build-a-bear stuffies with fun outfits (i bet you he thought superman and other superheroes were real guys when he was a kid, and looked up to them and wanted to be just like them)

nendo also has his old baby blanket and childhood teddy bear but they are absolutely in TATTERS

akechi has like an ocean themed entire bed i think☠️his sheets and blankets are shades of blue and he has a bunch of sea creature stuffed animals

toritsuka has body pillows but that goes without saying.. i think he also has a batman stuffed animal (or like, a build-a-bear with a batman costume.. because thats what i have lol) which he refuses to admit

saiko and kuboyasu never really got stuffed animals from their parents as kids and never thought to ask for them (neither of them know how they wouldve responded and it freaks them out) but they would always get secretly jealous of other kids who had stuffed animals and cute toys and keychains.. they probably both have some that either they made (yasu crocheting hc🫶) or were given to them recently by the group but they hide them out of embarrassment

saiki prob also has a few from the group and keeps them mostly hidden

[shigayokagayama]

I'm sure you've probably said before but i don't remember lol anyway how do you think the terumob confession goes? I'm sure you must have a super specific idea of it in your brain

i am of two minds of it

what i think would happen in my extensive post-canon mindscape: i have the very specific worldview that. ok teru kind of stops having a crush on mob around the same time mob STARTS having a crush on him so theres like a couple months overlap where they COULD have asked each other out but since teru is so used to being the one GETTING confessed to and mob is so in the mindset of "well he's really handsome and popular he wouldnt like me" that neither of them does anything abt it and teru's crush on him kinda fades. and then one day at a sleepover terus like "you know whats crazy i used to have a huge crush on you LOL" and mob is like "haha wow thats wild" while internally kicking himself. and then after that in college they sorta drift apart for a while and teru and ritsu end up going to the same college + becoming roommates so mob and teru start hanging out again through him and kinda mutually go "oh RIGHT i forgot how much i liked this guy!" and at this point teru's grown up enough that he can actually be like "hey. i like you. do you want to go on a date?"

fanfic idea i might write some day: OKAY SO there is this fanbook interview where characters are saying their thoughts on other characters and dimple says he wants to possess teru and ruin his life and it gave me the fic idea of dimple catching wind he has a crush on mob and, assuming that mob would never in a million years like this guy back, is like "hey ill possess you to help you ask him out LOL" and then does it in the most embaressing possible way but mob still says yes and dimple doesnt know what to do with that so he just leaves and teru has to deal with the aftermath of that

[musicalmoritz]

hi hi mutual :D

I’m not a huge aoinene shopper (although I do ship it) but! I wanted to ask for your Aoinene hc’s since I have labeled you as the Aoinene expert in my head and I saw you reblog that post we reblogged about the ship hc’s and such!!

convince me into the aoinene lore…. /hj -Bunny

Hiiiiiii mutual!! First of all I’ve said this before but I love being known as the Aoinene Expert™️, so happy that’s my reputation lol

Headcanons are my specialty so I’m glad you asked this!! I will gladly convince you into the Aoinene lore/hj. They’ve been rotting away my brain all day so I’m gonna take this opportunity to ramble abt them and explain how I see the ship

• So as far as canon goes I wouldn’t change either of the canon pairings for them, shipping for me sort of exists in a multiversal vacuum where I can imagine alternatives for who the characters end up with and how they end up with those ppl via fan content

• I do, however, love the idea of them having mutual crushes on each other in canon. I think Nene plays hers off as just admiring Aoi but deep down she feels the same way abt her that she does Teru and Fuji (or maybe a little bit more serious since they’re best friends). And while I think Akane is Aoi’s ultimate soulmate in canon I can see her having feelings for Nene as well, though I think they’d start to fade once Nene began to pull away from her

• As for fanon tho…

• In my head there’s an alternate universe where these two end up together after everything. This usually involves lesbian Aoi bcuz I do adore that headcanon in anything that’s not the actual manga. I like to think they both developed mutual crushes on each other in middle school and Aoi was very internally angsty and aware of her’s whereas Nene was very repressed abt her feelings for girls in general

• They totally have sleepovers every week, on Fridays specifically. They do typical things like watching movies and painting each other’s nails but they’re teenage girls so they’d also probably try to summon demons. And since this is tbhk they’d probably succeed a few times (now I need an au where Nene summons Bloody Mary instead of Hanako)

• Since it’s Aoinene ofc there’s gotta be a moment when Aoi finally opens up to Nene about everything, but I don’t think that would come without difficulty. Lots of avoiding each other and being super distant bcuz neither of them want to be the first to bring it up, then maybe a dramatic fight or two before they come back together on calmer terms and have a long conversation at one of their sleepovers about everything. Whether platonic or romantic that's usually how I envision their resolution

• I think it would also have to come after Aoi's taken some time to work through her mental health problems, she's made progress but she still has a long way to go and that stuff isn't easy to talk about, especially when she knows Nene's view of her will change

• I don't think Nene ever intends to hurt Aoi though, she's more-so negligent and a bit self-centered. And she seems to know something is off with Aoi never talking abt herself but she can't take that further step into understanding WHY she acts the way that she does

• To be honest I see Nene as stressing a lot when she realizes something's going on because she doesn't want to lose their friendship, and I do think she would embrace the real Aoi with open arms if she ever were to meet her

• Then I think they'd have some struggles of adjusting to their new dynamic and figuring out how they work with Aoi being herself + Aoi would instinctively try to pull away a bit, but I think they'd find a way to make it work

• They would constantly be going on dates, wanting to try new places together. They've probably tried every cafe in their town, I could also see them being the type of couple to have each other's orders memorized

• A lot of fics tend to pull them away from their canon love interests in one way or another but not me, Hanako and Akane automatically become wingmen. Those girls are a mess and they need all the advice they can get, even if their makeshift relationship counsellors are far from qualified

• They match their outfits whenever they go out, and they're also 100% the type to do matching Halloween costumes

• Nene has a houseplant in her room that's a gift from Aoi

• Nene calls Aoi every time she has to run errands but doesn't want to do it alone. They end up at the pet store a lot

• Their moms are both convinced they're secretly dating and place bets on when they'll announce it

• They both get easily flustered around each other when they first start dating but in different ways; Nene is a very loud and dramatic type of flustered, very shoujo protagonist core. And Aoi is more the quiet, tsundere genre of flustered

• In the future I picture Nene as a successful writer and Aoi as a flower shop owner and they have a house by the beach. And a hamster, of course

• I also choose to believe they were girlfriends in the Ghost Hotel au before Aoi passed, then they got reunited when Nene arrived at the hotel

• Nene cries very easily and Aoi is a good fake-crier

• Aoi is a little spoon, pass it on

That's all I can think of rn, tysm for your ask! I am going to continue brainrotting over Aoinene for the foreseeable future lmao

[nanabansama]

Akane despite saying that this new gift is better, her expression says the opposite as if she was in denial with herself. In other words, he himself doesn't seem to be very confident with the watch keeper's decision, even though this new reality seems perfect. We both know that there is no perfect reality, not for Aida Iro. So what I wanted to know was if you think that this new reality has something wrong hidden or probably the guardians of the clock did something very bad in this reality

Hi! Thanks for the question.

I agree, I think Akane is trying to convince Teru that this new present is a good thing as much as himself during that scene. To accept the new present is the easiest choice, after all, and his superiors (who he respects) were the ones to select it. But the reality is this present is not and was never theirs. Their previous lives melded them into the people they are today and they would be losing themselves by embracing this new one.

I think it's possible that AidaIro will go the simpler route, and show that there is bad in this timeline, too, which can already be seen by Nene's love, Hanako, being taken from her. We still haven't seen Akane talk to Aoi yet, either, and I theorized before that Aoi has regressed to a worse version of herself (the person she was before the Severance) and I can't imagine Akane truly being satisfied with a present like that.

But I would personally like the "badness" of the timeline to be something more subjective. Let's face it: Hanako living and becoming a teacher isn't bad, is it? Neither is Aoi being a normal high school girl with working hands. You can make arguments that they're better, even. And I think that makes the dilemma more interesting than if, say, someone died in this new present. (...and that someone isn't a person like Tsukasa who everyone basically dislikes *painful laugh*)

I think AidaIro could go either way, and I can't deny I love the innate horror of a seemingly perfect reality revealing itself to be something entirely not...it's just we already did that with Picture Perfect, did we not?

So I'd like them to do something different. And I honestly don't think it's bad for Nene to reject this new present purely because it's not hers! Or anyone for that matter. Her experiences made her who she is today and she wouldn't trade that for the world. I think that's admirable. ♡

so one thing i rly like abt mob psycho (shocker !) is that the Incident between the kageyama brothers is kept entirely contained. like, most other shows—at least ones that i've watched—feature long monologues of characters traumadumping to other characters, sometimes in the middle of fights, and while that Does happen a lot in mob psycho, the kageyama bros never do this abt The Incident, and i think that's a fascinating choice bc The Incident is the entire reason why the show starts in the first place. it's the reason mob meets reigen at all, it's the reason mob doesn't fight back against teru, it's the reason ritsu goes through his character arc. it is arguably the Most Important Story Beat and the show has countless opportunities to let the characters spill their guts on screen for drama, and yet neither of the brothers let this spill. neither of them talk about it, except with each other

there's been numerous times i've watched shows where people suddenly traumadump and tell their life story unprompted when truly not a single soul asked, but with mob psycho, both the bros are Constantly berated with questions on Why they do these things; Why are you so off-putting and quiet, Why do you not use your powers, Why won't you fight back, Why do you want psychic powers so badly, Why are you ruining these students' lives now that you have them, Why are you helping me defeat my evil dad . all of these questions eventually loop back around to The Incident, and yet neither of them ever let it slip. neither of them Ever share, and the only time they come anywhere close to it is in the wd arc

it is the event that Shaped Who They Grew Into, and yet it is not known by the main cast at all. teru has no idea, even reigen doesn't seem to understand the full extent of it, even though The Incident is what caused mob to come to his office. their parents prolly don't even know

idk, i just think that's a good detail. the brothers both hold the weight of their troubles close to their chests. and even though that makes it seem as though they figure it out on their own, it couldn't be further from the truth

their own experiences with the people around them allowed them to grow and make mistakes and learn from them, all without sharing their deepest secret, and then both took those new experiences and lessons and applied it to this issue, and learned Again

meanwhile, the rest of the cast is largely clueless abt this Entire issue. it's Crazy to me that most of the cast has no idea what the main issue is, and i think it's a brilliant choice. these characters helped the kageyama bros without ever meaning to or knowing about it, no matter how big or small the role. you truly never know what somebody else is going through !

and even in the end, it's not like there's a big reveal that tells every character the kageyama brothers' Tragic Backstory. nobody fucking knows, still. like Yeah they should totally talk this out and go to therapy or smth but i just like the fact that the story doesn't treat it as some dramatic fanfare for Other Character's Shock Value and doesn't let them air their troubles to the ends of the earth. i appreciate that

Please may I..(oh this is going to sound rather sad) have Fairy tail headcanons of what Juvia's childhood was like before she went to the Orphanage..with her parents and everything.

Is it canon that Juvia went to an orphanage? Idk why I thought she was in a boarding school lol. Either way lets get into it

Juvia's mom was cursed when she was pregnant and the side effect created Juvia's rain problem

When she was really little, the rain would only surround her. Imagine a little storm cloud following her around

It caused Juvia to get sick a lot. She spent a good chunk of time in the hospital

Unfortunately her parents didn't have a whole lot of money and the hospital bills took up most of their budget

Her parents loved her. It was hard for Juvia to make friends so her parents did everything they could to entertain her as a toddler

Juvia's mom made Juvia's first teru teru bozu doll because she knew how much the rain bothered her daughter

Juvia adored her little doll and played with it everyday

Her parents liked that Juvia was happy but also told Juvia that her rain was not something to hate. They never wanted Juvia to feel like a burden because of the rain

Neither of her parents had magic so the best they could do about the rain is try and teach Juvia to love it

As Juvia grew older, the rain grew stronger and after some time her parents began to get sick from it

They were so focused on Juvia's health that neither of them noticed their declining health until it was too late

Juvia's rain killed her parents. Juvia hated the rain and blamed herself for it. This was the start of Juvia spiraling to the darkness

ship/anti-ship asks: let's go for a couple of odd ones but aicon (dcmk) and mobteru (mp100)

Thanks for the ask, s- (ask meme here)

co/ai

1. Why don't you ship it?

Haibara deserves better.

2. What would have made you like it?

Alright, expanding on that a little- I think their dynamic is cute in fanworks, and I like how dedicated Conan is in keeping her safe especially in movies. I just hate how Aoyama writes Conan with her (and Ran, and honestly probably any female character.) Haibara deserves better than a boy who constantly keeps secrets for no good reason from her, and is nice to her just to get what he wants (the antidote).

For real, why didn't he tell Haibara about Akai-Okiya, or about anything on Mystery Train?? Haibara keeps plenty of secrets as well, but:

(a) Conan has already proven himself to be too reckless- he's lucky to be alive with how eager he is to throw himself into the Organization's claws.

(b) Haibara is likely traumatized, and thinking back to her days with the Organization wouldn't help with that.

Just. Argh.

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

Haibara deserves to be happy too... and Conan does make her happy.

mob/teru

1. Why don't you ship it?

In order for me to ship something, I either have to really like their dynamic, or really like both of the characters in the ship, neither of which applies here. I don't hate them or anything, they're just not blorbos, y'know? Probably doesn't help that they're so young.

Even besides that, I can see Teru cares for Mob, but Mob never seemed to cherish Teru quite as much. It's been a while since I watched the show/read the manga so I may be forgetting some things though.

2. What would have made you like it?

Mm, nothing really comes to mind. Even if they were ten years older, I don't think either of them would really be characters I tend to fave.

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

It's nice that Teru was able to pull his life around through Mob's words.

Moon Walkers - romaji & Eng translation

Artist: VΔLZ Original lyrics: buzzG Translation and romanization by Snowdust64

Formatting is as follows: - Mostly a line-for-line translation, but the grammar didn’t always work out. - As usual, implied pronouns are in brackets with my best guesses. - Text from the original lyrics that was already in English is denoted in bold. - Text that was changed from katakana to English is denoted in ALL CAPS. I did this to make certain words more readable.

Additional translation notes at the end.

Floating and Adamski-shaped, suspiciously swaying, [I’m] intrigued It would be better not to stray from the correct path, but [I] still chose the unknown

Ridiculed Adamski    Passing the time, and once again in vain Ignited * Even to unknown destinations, there are paths made by the wild **   But, beyond the "if"

If there was a fiction where we never met [I] would become a useless walking corpse *** Surely abandoned by both gods and demons If you’re not in it, the story is no good

Let’s dance a waltz of this dazzling life and of the moon Continuing on a journey of reaching out toward that cryptic light

The ugliness that comes from thinking of someone And the despair in realizing that it’s fake Whose fault is this? Reincarnation, the next life [I'll] bet on? How pointless    Without you, tomorrow holds no meaning Let's embrace it all and shine on

Standing on the moon, let’s run, we shooting stars At a speed fast enough to blur out both tears and hesitation Running onward    Even if it burns up [our] lives [We’ll] resonate for ever and ever, continuing to dance Moon walkers

===== Translation notes =====

*  ‘takitsukerarete’ – ‘to be set on fire.’ As a metaphor, it means ‘to be provoked,’ like when something suddenly rouses you to action. Can be in a negative or a positive way.

**  ‘kemono michi’ – Literally, 'animal path,' referring to natural paths through the wilderness that are made by animals passing through. They may be crude and wandering, but they are paths nonetheless.

***  ‘kōshisōniku’ – A phrase adopted from Chinese that means a moving body without thought or soul; in English, what we might call a walking corpse. In Japanese the meaning has evolved a bit, and now is used to describe a useless/worthless person. (In this line of the lyrics, the word for ‘corpse’ appears separately, so it ended up in my translation anyway.)

In exploring what "Adamski" was referring to, I found two possibilities:

1. George Adamski, a controversial writer and speaker who claimed to have seen hundreds of UFOs in his lifetime, as well as befriended aliens and traveled aboard their spaceships.

2. The Adamski effect, a photo-editing technique named after Josh Adamski, featuring heavy motion blur of the background while sparing the people/objects of attention in the image.

Based on the rest of the lyrics, I would favor the first option, but a simple search of just "Adamski" turned up more results for the second, so I didn't want to discount it.

Ask game time good morning!!! Maybeee considerations on hanakou and Aoinene tbhk..? And classic tsukkiyama haikyuu :3

ask me about a ship and I’ll give my opinions + classify them as does / doesn’t make sense, does / doesn’t compel me

and good night! this is like 12 days overdue lmao... do forgive me. since u asked for three I’m gonna have to go under the cut:

first, hanakou! I’m gonna say it does make sense, doesn’t compel me. I think like. I can see the bones of it—kou clearly cares for hanako, and his belief in him is to the point that he’ll stand up to his own brother about it. and this isn’t just bc he likes nene! it’s bc he cares about hanako in his own right. I think I really enjoy kou’s perception of hanako… there’s this line in the red house where he’s like. it would be easier if hanako was just an evil spirit and that’s always stuck with me. it’s also cool how hanako, for some point in time, is the only person other than kou who even knows about mitsuba. they’ve both got their own repression issues huh? where they just do things without explanation. the reason it just doesn’t compel me is like. I don’t have any real incentive to see it romantically? like. hanako’s relationship with kou is interesting to me in part because of how kou’s relationship with nene and mitsuba affects his relationship with hanako. his love for the both of them and wanting to “save” them aligns with how hanako wants to save nene, only hanako’s operating with a much higher degree of cynicism (and, some would say, realism). so i think it’s interesting to have this friendship between the two in the middle of that, and I don’t really feel an impetus to make it romantic.

aoinene on the other hand… it does makes sens and does compel me! aoinene’s so fascinating to me because like. they clearly adore each other and they’re like. girl best friends yknow. only nene doesn’t tell aoi about the whole ghost thing for the longest time and aoi doesn’t tell her about her issues with her hand. nene kind of idolizes aoi as this perfect popular pretty girl and I think, in some ways, aoi treats nene the same way? but her perception is of this naïve good-spirited kid she can’t quite be honest too. so like. that’s compelling, that they both love each other, but their understanding of the other lacks. and from the first chapters we see that nene’s like, dazzled by teru’s shine and such… she’s obviously kind of taken by this façade and also this very thin and minimal crush that’s not really love, right. so I feel like I could see aoinene be really interesting because aoi absolutely has her own version of this façade. we get into lots of fun stuff about honesty and what’s real and such. so this could definitely compel me romantically even though I haven’t thought about it much.

and tsukkiyama!!! does make sense and does compel me are you kidding me. what more do you need than pride!!! gonna lay down forever about it. tsukishima and yamaguchi are a really fun longtime-friends dynamic because they like. change? their relationship evolves but it doesn’t make them not important to each other, even if the shape of themselves and their interactions change. which is why that bond feels so strong. they both think each other is kind of the coolest actually. I’ve never really had the need to read much fic abt them tho? maybe I’ll look again sometime but its just like. man. their relationship in canon is so good to me already… ch 86-89 my beloved. the manga does a really good job of like… their relationship always feels real and solid but they’re also 100% individual people. and it’s such good development too. neither of them becomes a crazy genius but they develop as people. I love how hands-off tsukishima’s growth over canon is… like he’s a genuine good kid that just thinks a lot, and I don’t think he’d respond so well to people steamrolling over him with their own assumptions yknow? anyways tsukkiyama’s good. works in a sorta understated way where it being not too emphasized makes it work more, yknow. I loved reading haikyuu!! and thinking like why does a guy like tsukki hang around someone like yamaguchi? and then understand. oh. they’re both so earnest.
