If I had a nickel for every time Bucky banned an asshole from his place of business for being rude to his girl and his friends backed him up, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

one thing that strikes me about mob psycho 100 is how closely it hews to shigeo's direct emotional experience. depending on your tastes in worldbuilding and characterization, this can either be a strength... or a weakness.

the only characters fleshed out somewhat are those shigeo is truly close to; almost everyone else is painted with just enough detail to make them feel like people. but not much more... not unlike real-life acquaintances. this rings mostly true for events in the story, too. MP100 also shines very little light on what strangers think of its protagonist, in part because he doesn't notice or care all that much.

and even those people who matter most to him? shigeo doesn't really ask about anyone's inner lives, so we only get to know others at a 'surface' level. what's ON that surface is still rich AF, but it's mostly free of backstory: we get impressionistic flashes of who reigen, and dimple, and ritsu, and teru are almost entirely from what their lives are like in the present. as a result, the story is a very autistic (and for me, relatable) headspace to walk around in.

the mutual bond ritsu and shigeo share would not feel as strong without ONE letting us rummage around inside the younger kageyama brother's head for a bit, of course. shigeo loves his little brother more than anyone else in the world, but he isn't even privy to ritsu's emotional landscape until ritsu lashes out at him in an alley one day.

and we wear reigen's skin the longest, apart from shigeo's, because the boy spends most of his free time at spirits and such. but who was he before shigeo shyly opened his office door in search of empathy? surely he was more than a bored salesman everydude looking for something to give his life meaning, but this is all that we are shown clearly. unfortunately reigen's inner life is terra incognita to shigeo: he doesn't share it with the boy and shigeo doesn't even begin to ask until the story is nearly over.

shigeo in turn shares so little of his inner life with reigen that the man isn't even aware the child has friends his own age. and his immense, map-redrawing destructive capabilities frighten reigen all the more because shigeo never fully trusted him with that knowledge. the wrath of shigeo's shadow self is as ruinous as it is because shigeo couldn't trust anyone with his emotional insides, either.

how well do we really know those we love? how well can we know them?

how well can we know anyone?

"I am Dan Reynolds" is kind of the new "Got my foot on the gas" tbh

Chronic illness life is all about learning to just roll with stuff.

The Hubs just walked back to find me sitting on the floor slurring “POTS flare! Ooh Oooh ooh!” to the tune of the Duck Tales song while half-conscious.

I did a little sketch of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett as villagers while working on my Good Omens x Animal Crossing drawings. They look like Leopold and Graham.

I love them so much.

one of my favorite mistakes I made as a new genshin player was with artifacts. Instead of thinking a 2pc or 4pc set meant a single character having 2 or 4 pieces of an artifact set, I thought it meant 2 or 4 characters each having the same artifact. Like, to get the four piece artifact benefits you had to have all of your party each have like their own gladiator’s finale cup or something

If Kris has 20 HP in the Light World, but 90 in the Dark World, then it would be a logical assumption that the Dark World has that power, right? But does that power apply to Darkners as well as Lightners? If so, would that mean that their HP is decreased all the way down to zero when they’re in the Light World? When enemies get down to zero HP, they either run away or turn into an item. Do you see where I’m going with this?

They do love each other, but hurt each other as well.

i'm shocked by how many people hate the idea of aemond being antagonistic towards aegon and consider it ooc? we have their loaded backstory with aegon being the #1 instigator of bullying towards aemond, further aemond is the second son and suffers from a very severe case of cain complex. the younger brother harboring resentment and envy is a very straightforward result of their upbringing.

also, do not use the book as a defense; each and every character in f&b is a cardboard cut out— we do not know what went on in any of the character's heads. we know that aegon at least appreciated his brother enough to want to build a statue in his honor. we also know that aemond gladly took the crown after rook's rest and said "It looks better on me than it ever did on him." does not scream fully devoted brother to me, does it?

again, i'm not insinuating that they fully hate each other— some love and devotion is certainly there. but, as with so many characters, they do not know how to be good to each other; it's the quintessential tragedy of this family.

also, conflict between the character is interesting and is needed for good fiction! why are you afraid of characters that make bad decisions and act erratically? it's just human.

Headcanon that the Alolan Meowth the helped the TRio out (and went to headquarters later) was sent by Nanu. 😂
