Claw Reigen? 👀
oh GOD I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS
TIME TO LOOK AT MY OLD NOTES ABOUT HIM TO REFRESH MY MEMORY 😭
So Claw Reigen was this AU I came up with based on that moment in S1 where they make it seem like he's the Claw Boss. I never believed it for a second, but in my head I was kinda going "huh it would be an interesting au if it WAS true". Then I had my friend Parker watch the show and they genuinely fell for it and got super upset, so this made me come back to the random idea in my head and develop it more.
He's not the actual boss in my AU though, I made him a Scar instead because I thought that fit him better. Although he's a member of Claw's 5th division, no one has ever seen him use his powers and he still only describes them as "spiritual" when asked. Despite this, he is the 5th division's second-in-command and the leader Sakakibara obviously favors him despite him seemingly not contributing much to the group. This leads to rumors about Reigen being an incredibly weak esper or maybe even someone who isn't actually a Scar. (Because how could the Boss have respected his weak powers enough to spare his life after challenging him?)
None of these rumors are true, however...
(more details below sorry this got really long)
Reigen is certainly hiding many things from everyone in his life, including his fellow colleagues at Claw. But perhaps he's hiding the most from his disciple, Mob, who he is training to become a strong esper. He wears makeup to hide most of his scar when he's not interacting with Claw members, so Mob doesn't see his scar until... Season 1 events. Mob believes that Claw is a group of superheros whose mission is to make the world a better place. If he proves his worth, they'll allow him to join his ranks and become a fellow hero. However, as of now he is just an apprentice and is not allowed to meet any other members.
Claw is actually unaware of Mob's existence, and Reigen very much intends to keep it that way. In truth, he's not actually loyal to Claw, but he knows what he must do to survive. He's fully aware that his scar is not a badge of honor but is in fact a marker of his own unworthiness to Suzuki. Once Suzuki completes his world domination, Reigen knows that he and the other Scars will be disposed of, and he is determined to not let that happen. Somehow, Mob is a very important part of this plan...
In terms of personality, Reigen is similar to his canon lighthearted counterpart when he's with Mob. However, he can have a bit of a cruel streak—when he saves Mob from the S1 art gallery scammers, he intentionally sends an evil spirit to haunt them. He's also not the best role model and still smokes around Mob sometimes, though he'll awkwardly snuff it out and make a lot of excuses if Mob stares at him for too long or points out that it's bad for his health.
This is in stark contrast to how he is when Mob isn't around. The makeup he wears to hide his scar also hides his dark eyebags and stress lines on his face. He generally has a bored, heavy look to his face and doesn't smile. When he's with Claw, he sneers a lot and talks very condescendingly to make sure he doesn't look weak. (Also he just hates everyone there tbh-) People don't take him seriously, but the few who actually manage to piss Reigen off know that his sneer disappearing is a very bad thing.
(Another random but important fact that I'm not sure how to fit in here is that he never takes off his gloves.)
In summary, Scar Reigen is still very much a man of lies and self-serving deceit, just... in a far more twisted way than canon. He thinks he's long past redemption or changing his ways, but is that really true?
Anyway uh wow I talked a lot I'm not even sure if any of this makes any sense 😭 I was pretty into the idea of writing this au out as a fanfic last year but I quickly got stuck because I just couldn't figure out where to begin with it and what the structure of the story would even be like. I don't exactly see myself coming back to it but who knows. Idk

[Age Swap Mafia, Reigen gets hurt while protecting Mob]
MobRei | Mob Psycho 100 Age Swap Mafia AU 22-06-2023
Seeing a cool fanart on my TL and now am wondering (and once again mobrei Age Swap Mafia AU lol)
What if Reigen take an attack on his back (a sword or something else sharp enough to leave a gash) to protect Mob as someone tried to sneak attack him.
And Mob just goes berserk on everyone that was fighting them while Mamoru tries his damnest to stop the bleeding, Ekubo off to fight like a mad dog too to protect them both.
Reigen is immediately rushed to the family's medic and Mob is absolutely restless, only settling down once he knows Reigen is alright-ish and safe.
Despite how Reigen is still a bit in between from the pain and the anaesthesia he scolds him for doing something like this when Mob can very much defend himself and survive something like this.
"I moved before I knew it" Reigen weakly argues back, eye teary, "I couldn't let something happen to you when I could try something".
Reigen's crying has Mob immediately cooling down, kneeling at his side and trying to comfort him. He's still mad at himself for letting this happen, but he doesn't want for his precious boy to feel like he's being hated for it.
In the year that follows, every time Mob sees that scar he's reminded of the time he had allowed such an incident to happen, vowing each time to make sure it would never happen again (which it hasn't).
When Reigen finally gets his tattoo it covers it up fully, the texture of it the only sign that it's there. He can't stop being a little sad that his battle scar saving Mob is gone, but the happiness of getting the tattoo is enough to let him get over it.

Moth Psycho 100 AU
Tumblr media
Something that I latched onto for mp100 is the moth imagery for Mogami. More than once is a moth shown as symbolism, but it’s also associated with Mogami more than once, whereas with the other bugs he’s shown associated as, it’s just once i’m pretty sure (even if not, moths show up as symbolism the most so uhhh yeah)
So @cupofchemicalchatter and I cooked up an AU idea :)
Mogami Arc happens as normal except for the very end. Instead of Matsuo catching Mogami’s spirit and trapping him, Mogami is able to go and watch Mob from afar like he said he would: “You made your choice, kid. I’ll keep watching from afar to see if you made the right one.”
At the end of the Mogami Arc, Reigen says: “Anyway, history has shown that no good ever comes from drowning in wealth, fame, or power. Think about it: Mogami let his own powers swallow him up too.” Remember this, as this is important for the AU I’m about to explain. 
And this will go into the next arc, the Separation Arc. The part where Reigen is in the alleyway under the streetlight with those moths above him always felt deeper to a level that it probably wasn’t supposed to be and by that I mean I was connecting it to Mogami’s moth thing.
What am I talking about? Okay well, just imagine the Separation Arc happening as usual UNTIL that moment. The moment where Reigen is in the alleyway:
Tumblr media
Mogami had been keeping an eye on both Mob and Reigen, figuring that a way to break Mob was to use someone he cared about, that person being his mentor. So in that moment, Mogami had been possessing / using that moth as his vessel to watch Reigen. The moment that the moth drops dead and Reigen looks up is the moment that Mogami transferred his possession from the moth to Reigen, causing his sudden change. Now he is determined to “become somebody”. Of course, just like in canon and like Mogami did, he starts out by helping people out with their problems. He stated in the Mogami arc: “Mogami? Yeah, I modeled part of my work off him when I started this job.” Mogami stated that “at first, I used my abilities for good, giving advice and solving various problems.” Mogami was the “Psychic Star of the 20th Century”, with Reigen being the “Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century”. Mogami basically told Mob the classic villain thing of “we’re not so different, you and I”, but Mogami now sees that with Reigen as well. Despite the man not having powers, he would prove useful.
Reigen began “developing” psychic abilities. He thought at first that it might have been something residual still left over from when Mob gave him his powers while fighting the Scars, but he soon began to believe that he had dormant abilities that became awoken once he set out on “becoming somebody”. However, it’s actually just the possession from Mogami. He begins to realize that he doesn’t need Mob anymore. He can do exorcisms on his own now! So, he starts pushing everyone away…the people who would be able to actually help him out of this.
Reigen starts to hear a voice in his head. It’s Mogami speaking to him like he did with Mob, but he disguises it as Reigen’s own voice, allowing the conman to think that it’s his own thoughts. Reigen begins to separate himself from this “new” version of himself (which is just Mogami), but not in a way of “oh, these are bad thoughts” but in the way of “this version of me is my only true friend.” Since he’s being possessed, he’s not really thinking rationally. 
His reflection becomes a way that Mogami can communicate visually, while disguised as Reigen, of course. He speaks to Reigen, convincing him further that he doesn’t need anybody. Only himself.
His shadow also becomes a visual way for “Reigen” to communicate (because I thought that would be cool, kind of like Morgana in Ducktales 2017, or in The Princess and the Frog). 
The turning point for where things actually go south is the Supernatural Detective TV spot. When Jodo suggests that Reigen be the one to do the exorcism, instead of letting Jodo trick him, Reigen insists that Jodo go ahead with how the program was planned. In this world, the event is reversed. Jodo actually does the fake exorcism, since it was scripted, but then Reigen steps in and explains there was no evil spirit to exorcise, hence making Jodo the fool rather than Reigen. The host praises Reigen and the child reveals that he was acting the whole time. 
And then begins his true metamorphosis. 
Usually, butterflies are used to represent change, however moths go through that same transformation, but to most, they are held typically in a lesser regard than their daytime counterparts. Not really important, but I just thought it was interesting.
Reigen starts to spiral, becoming more and more of a corrupted conman. He isn’t assassinating people for money like Mogami had done, but he is lying more and more and more. The more he becomes corrupted with power, the more his psychic abilities grow (think Ritsu with Dimple and the student council stuff)/ The idea actually started out by me suggesting that as he gets more corrupted, he starts to cough out moths (sorta like an odd moth-based hanahaki, but having literally nothing to do with unrequited love and he won’t die from the moths. He just coughs them out because we thought that went kinda hard), but of course, he keeps telling himself (as well as Mogami telling him) that he’s fine. 
His powers (Mogami’s powers) are getting stronger and he’s taking out bigger spirits, taking on bigger clients, and becoming a bigger star. He finds himself losing consciousness / disassociating at times, only to wake up and find that he is stronger. It has become a little of a Jekyll and Hyde situation, but while Mogami has control of Reigen’s body, he uses it to consume evil spirits to try and regain the power he lost from fighting Mob. How we’re visually showing the possession is through a scar (like how Dimple has the red cheek spots). He got the scar under his right eye when Mogami exploded that one-way mirror in the Mogami Arc, and since Reigen’s technically being possessed during the duration of the AU (once that moth dies), the scar is visible the whole time.
In the end (we haven’t figured out when but we just know), Mob has to confront Mogami inside Reigen’s head, like he did with Minori. Inside Reigen’s head, it becomes blatant that Reigen isn’t psychic, although Mob’s sorta known that for a while (as it is alluded to at the end of the Separation Arc). But, Mob himself doesn’t want to acknowledge that fact. Reigen always said he had powers! Why would he lie? So although Shigeo knows the truth, Mob doesn’t see it. He pretends that it’s not true. He believes in Reigen’s lies. The student has become the master, in it that Mob is now lying to himself because he can’t bring himself to believe that Reigen lied to him.
After everything, Mob is able to separate Mogami from Reigen (but of course, not without everyone getting their fair share of trauma). The scar goes away, as he is no longer possessed. He’s back to being powerless, and now he knows that it was Mogami the whole time. However, Mob says that line. He says how he’s known that his master is genuinely a good guy, because it wasn’t on his own that he did all that conning and evil spirit stuff. It was because of Mogami’s corruption and influence. I think Matsuo would still somehow come across Mogami’s spirit and capture him, just so that it can come in handy later when he’s used in the World Domination Arc bc I don’t wanna mess that up lmao
Anyways yeah that was my attempt at compiling some frantic and excited discord DMs about this AU into something somewhat cohesive! Now here’s art for the AU, because I wanted to share them, but I needed to explain what was going on first!
Tumblr media
This was the first one I did for the AU, when I knew I needed to draw something up for the concept of him getting corrupted and coughing moths 😄
Tumblr media
And then the shadow and mirror thing (I LOVE the one of “Reigen” in the reflection oughhhh)
Tumblr media
If you remember that post where I said I woke up and found I had written “twink controlling a twink” the night prior, this is what it was in relation to 😭 why did I call Mogami a twink very very late at night? Who knows. The important thing is that doing so altered everything and now he is one in my mind, so I can’t do anything about it. Don't ask why this page seems really fruity, it was like 3 AM and over a week ago so I don't know (/silly)
Tumblr media
These were from when I was rewatching the Mogami Arc to pick up details for the AU
Tumblr media
Moths have the patterns on their wings to mimic eyes, so there’s that inherent aspect of deception and lying. It makes the moths seem like a bigger threat than they actually are. (also I have him wearing Mogami's blazer and shirt)
Tumblr media
And then just the moths and such with Mogami’s spirit
Tumblr media
And me pulling a quote from when Dimple was explaining who Mogami was.
YEAH I just really love drawing stuff for this AU bc of the fun moth symbolism.If none of any of this makes sense, I’m so sorry. I just needed to finally post about this AU bc it’s given me brainmoths (like brainworms, but y’know)
We kinda came up with the AU backwards and filled in random spots here and there after the fact of our original conjuration of it, so I had to try and piece it together HAHA

mob warriors au redesigns and such, some i barely changed and others i pretty much started from scratch lol
full canvas and explanations under the cut, theres a bunch of other characters and stuff i didnt manage to fit or didnt have the energy to draw that ill probably get around to in the coming future
Tumblr media
so by virtue of mob psycho kind of acting as a parody of a shonen in a lot of its characters and usage of tropes i felt like it was fitting that a warriors au sort of act as a parody of warriors.
basically, pretty much every major character is either a house cat of some sort, but they all see clan cats as these sort of cool aspirational things so they give themselves warrior names and know of general clan concepts (though, since the nearby clan left a long time ago due to twoleg construction on their territory, these concepts have sort of become distorted over time. istg i came up with this before warriorclan me and erin hunter just have some odd psychic link)
saltsplash (reigen) is a declawed kittypet who loves the taste of freshkill, so he has taken on the persona of a former medicine cat who came from far away on some sort of spiritual quest to help the cats in this area (in reality his owners just moved here) in order to get cats to catch prey for him in exchange for advice. flockpaw (mob) comes to him for advice, since he can see spirits and keeps getting dreams from starclan, and saltsplash agrees to take him as an apprentice
there is a pretty significant ghost problem in the area, the destruction of the moonstone equivalent (this isnt the setting of og warriors because i find switching what region/biome theyre in to be kind of part of the fun to making warriors aus so this is still japan. cats can now encounter monkeys.) has left a lot of souls trapped in the physical plane and unable to pass on. dimple (still going back and forth on his name) is one of these cats, he was a clan cat but so long ago that he's forgotten his original life and only remembers the goal of "bring back the clans with yourself as leader", which he initially tries to posses random cats to do before meeting flockpaw and settling on him as a good potential clan leader
the actual clans, meanwhile, have gone way downhill since they moved away. their numbers were dwindling pretty badly when hawkstar (toichiro) took over his clan, renamed it clawclan, conquered the other clans in the area and marked all his dissenters with scars, and has forged forward with the goal of reconquering their old territory in the twolegplace in the hopes that it will bring the clans back to their glory days. a lot of the more sensible cats, including his mate, have left the clan, so he's resorted to recruiting outsiders as well as kidnapping young cats with warrior potential in order to fill out their numbers
other stuff i dont want to write entire paragraphs for
-teru was someones outdoor cat but his owners moved :( he named himself starpaw and everyone who knows shit about the clans tries to tell him hes not allowed to do that but are too scared to argue further with him about it because he gets really pissed when you point it out
-the telepathy clubs goal is to meet lions, which everyone thinks arent real
-the awakening lab is mitsuura (curlystar maybe?)'s attempt to start his own clan
-the student council is a gang of young kittypets who have tasked themselves with enforcing "the warrior code" among the delinquents (rivals gangs of young alley cats). all the older cats see this as a game theyre playing and dont take it seriously
-flashpaw (mezato) was part of dimple's initial play to brainwash a bunch of cats into reforming a clan and worshiping "starclan" (him) and those group of cats have shifted to seeing flockpaw as starclans prophet, so she's trying to convince HIM to start a new clan
-rainshade (serizawa) was initially a kittypet who always hid in his cat carrier out of his fear of his starclan given powers, hawkstar found him on one of his recruiting missions because his mother was worried for him and was asking around for someone with experience with starclan
-mogami (crowflight maybe? maggotsomething?) was an actual former warrior who went to twolegplace to get help for his sick mother after starclan said there was nothing that could be done for her. kittypets offered to get her help in exchange for him helping them with spirit problems and got their owners to bring her to the cutter (vet) and when they did the vets put her down so he started killing cats about it seeing them all as selfish thugs beyond redemption before his own death and transformation into a vengeful spirit
-minori (still thinking of a name bc i dont have her design down) is someones very haughty purebred show cat who gets hella possessed.
-didnt anyone ever teach you feeding downed fledglings was bad manners?
-SunClan (the rising sun union) are a gang of random housecats, some of whom have actual StarClan connections and others are just opportunistic liars, who use extremely predatory means to help cats with their ghost problems (asking for a specific share of a cat's meals permanently rather than saltsplash's ask of like. one fresh songbird)
thats all the stuff i can think of off the top of my head but if you ask questions i can probably answer them bc ive been thinking about this since like. march 2022.

MP100 roleswap edits because I wanna see other people share their takes on this!!!!!!!
Dimple swaps with Reigen, Ritsu swaps with Mob, and Teru swaps with Shou (ages stay the same minus Dimple bc idk how old he is)
Original screenshots and more info below the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In this au, Ritsu got his powers first, Teru’s a part of claw, Shou’s a delinquent in school, Mob is still very awkward, Dimple runs a scam of his own, and Reigen became a spirit at age 24
General plot events are still somewhat the same but they’re also switched around! (I’ll leave the changes up to interpretation, I wanna see people have fun with this concept!)
Some major points in my own interpretation: The mechanics in mogamiland and divine tree arc are swapped around, so mogami (or mogami-adjacent foe) uses brainwashing while reigen creates a false world (and fake dies like dimple because :3), the two major claw arcs are swapped around, meaning Serizawa joins the crew earlier and the members of Scar are tougher, like dimple possesses ritsu, reigen possesses mob, dimple is not as good as a mentor to ritsu as reigen to mob in canon
I haven’t thought of anything creative for Tome’s role andthe final arc, and I sure as hell don’t have a human dimple design yet but!! Lemme know what y’all think (pleasepleasepleasepleaseple)

Mob psycho brainworms.... @lunanitic-moon has been helping my insanity
Under the read more is my rambling... feel free to ask me bout my shoving scar and car into this ive been having fun ,,
Au wise i like imagining it as a season 4 where Reigen got very desperate for a new employee, cuz people were getting run ragged when theres only 2 people there, and Serizawa is taking night school lessons so isn't able to be around the entire time,
and after making a kinda really bad job listing supposedly no person who's not going through their own problems would take, Scarlette took the job cuz her self esteem is so low she thinks she deserves the shittiest job on there that she can walk to, but also realizes it's absolutely a scam the moment she she's actually there and is too much of a people pleaser to escape this situation + meets her new coworkers n gets worried cuz 'do they even know' and ends up Stuck There
and Carter is just along for the ride to torment people but he probably befriends Dimple and Tome (he cannot see ghosts but he is fully going to beileve they exist and this is where everyone translating for Dimple comes in. Tome Dimple and Carter working together to harrass people. Friendship)
Rattles it's been fun 4 me, im bad at knowing what and how to draw lately though so bweah
I think scarlette fits well with how mp100 deals with arcs kinda only cuz she has so many issues thats slowly ruining her i think its fun to shove her into another world where people save her and get it through her thick skull that hiding everything thats hurting her from the people who care will only hurt them too cuz they wanna help, shes not a burden

JUST READ EVERYTHING THERE IS ABOUT THE ZOMBIE AU !!!!! LOVE THIS SO MUCH WAAAA
you mentioned that ritsu, by the end of the story, is broken and practically insane. once shigeo is cured and "back to normal," i'm guessing that ritsu doesn't exactly go back to "being normal" either :( he'd gone through too much to be the same after everything... do you think he ever goes back to old habits and treats mob like he's still a zombie, only to be shellshocked at the fact that it's all over?
also this au is very reminiscent of this post (grieving the undead) https://www.tumblr.com/applejuicewerewolf/735120232698593280/no-need-to-keep-this-in-the-tags-youre
WEEEE IMSO GLAD U LIKE IT it's the direct result of my brainworms
yes ritsu is definitely Not Normal by the end and he should be put into therapy immediately. poor kid's seen way too much at way too young of an age, and he's been put through unreal amounts of stress that is definitely not good for a growing brain. he most certainly does not go back to "normal" when mob is cured, and much like his brother, he's never quite the same as he was before
he Absolutely has trouble squashing old habits, yes. he tends to just Do Shit for mob that he's fully capable of doing now, no matter how simple, bc as a zombie mob couldn't rly do all that. he opens food packages for him automatically, he unlatches doors even though mob is perfectly capable of Figuring Out a Lock. sometimes when it's raining ritsu will even pull mob's hood over his head—he used to do that for him when he was a zombie, to keep the rain off him, even if zombie mob didn't rly give a damn if it was raining or not
if mob were anybody else, he'd prolly find it a bit insulting, but instead he finds it kind of amusing most of the time
sometimes he grabs mob's hand and leads him around and it's only when they're like halfway there that he realizes what he's doing. mob doesn't particularly mind, but when his goal is elsewhere and they're aiming for different places he has to go "ritsu ..." and it's this awkward blinking session like . oh .right. yes.ofc
i think mob would ? maybe get a little annoyed at the hovering that ritsu totally unintentionally does. he hovers so closely bc zombie mob never rly minded, or ,, noticed. so now that he's back to "human" levels of awareness it is . extremely obvious. and it's not even that ritsu is Worried, it's just like he's spent so long Hovering and Fretting that it's just kinda second nature to him now
it's a strange role-reversal—it's very weird for mob to wake up and have scattered memories of the last two years, and suddenly feel like he's the younger brother instead. ritsu is now the caretaker, and it's... strange. and honestly, the first real goal mob has in mind after waking up and recovering for a while is settling back into the role of older brother. it's important to him
but much like how reigen now has trouble corralling that kid, mob has some difficulty getting ritsu to settle back into it too. he's too high-strung and stressed and permanently scarred to rest and let people take care of him, too used to being the caretaker himself. for the longest time he was forced into the mindset of, "you stop, you die," so ritsu keeps going bc his instincts r shot and he feels like he's in danger all the time
after a while of gentle nudging, mob gets the hang of convincing ritsu to lean on people, to lean on him, but mob is quietly distraught at the overall state of ritsu's mental well-being. it takes him a while to rly get a grasp of how bad it truly is, but once he realizes the damage, he's .. so fuckin upset w himself for letting this happen to his brother
as if it's rly his fault at all, but he regrets being slow and getting overrun by that zombie horde to begin with. maybe if he hadn't turned, ritsu would be a lot better off now—they woulda been able to join a settlement, and live in a place where there is supplies and food and clothing and other people to talk to other than your mumbling brother who no longer fully understands you. it likely would've spared him a lot of trauma
and alsoYES that post is EXACTLY it the concept of mourning a person u still see every day is ougougouhoguhg ,., .,witsu ..................

In honor of the anniversary of the last Divine Tree arc episode, which has haunted me obsessively for the entire intervening year, I thought I would gather some of my meta and fics about the arc in one place! You can find these posts (as well as a bunch of art and meta that isn't mine, and some cool facts about vegetables) in my "broccoli blogging" tag!
Meta:
(Lots of these are very short, focusing on a specific parallel. I haven't had the energy to write big meta posts, which was one reason I wanted to do this compilation!)
Vegetable horror vs. nature horror
Mind control in the Divine Tree arc
Vegetable heads as dehumanization
On the use of "Exist" in Divine Tree arc
Teru and Dimple in Divine Tree: "You really are amazing!"
Dimple's expressions of tenderness are visual callbacks to his previous violence: [Forehead touches] [Hair ruffling]
Big Cleanup/Divine Tree parallels
Mogami/Divine Tree parallels: [General parallels] [Dimple's last stand vs 100% Courage] ["Have you ever met an evil spirit that seemed happy?"]
World Domination/Divine Tree parallels (also they are twinned in the narrative structure which I need to make a specific post about!)
Mirrored Themes in Confession and Divine Tree
Dimple and Reigen parallels: [100% Trust and 1000% Gratitude] [from the start] [Divine Tree/Separation parallels] [Scars]
Fic:
I view fic as another method of analyzing canon, so a lot of the themes and parallels that I've talked about in the above posts get further articulated and explored in my fanfiction!
Faith In One Another (ficlet about the walk to the broccoli and themes of lonliness, also on tumblr here)
First and Final Orders (Dimple character study)
The Brassica Heresy (AU broccoli horror fic where the Divine Tree continues to rule over Seasoning City, and Tsubomi is the only person to realize that something is Wrong)
Other:
My Heretic AU tag, for thoughts (and also some mind-bogglingly great fanart!!) related to "The Brassica Heresy"

role swap au concept doodles cuz idk (mitsuura owns s&s, ritsu awakens his powers first, kamuro is salt's banchou)
mob feels much inferior to ritsu cuz he has no talents and all. he visits the awakening lab, which is owned by reigen. mob is more open with his emotions in this au, so is just generally freaking out all the time, but ritsu admires him for his kindness and determination. mob feels like he cant be his true self next to his brother because of envy and guilt so he locks his emotions around him.
teru and shou are swapped in the sense that teru is a scar in claw after a successful kidnapping and shou goes to black vinegar. he’s not the shadow leader though, he is in their student council. onigawara is salt’s not so reliable student council president. idk what the situation would be that he needs to one up black vinegar, but shou and ritsu end up fighting obviously. maybe shou is looking for a fight.
because of respective personal insecurities that are brought up by family problems, kamuro convinces mob to rebel against the student council. from there dimple helps mob realize his esper powers. he’s kidnapped, etc.

i just thought of a(n interesting?) mp100 AU concept
(good LORD this got WAY LONGER than it was supposed to,,., my bad)
so basically,, about a year before mob would have originally met regien, and a few weeks after suzuki recruits serizawa to join him, a young sho catches his dear old dad toichiro wiping blood off of his hands after beating the soon-to-be newest claw member(s? others could possibly have possibly been involved) in a psychic battle. after seeing the bloodied and now scarred bodies on the ground at his feet. after witnessing the true nature of his fathers actions, he fears for his own life, as well as the lives other claw members. as such his ideas and conceptions he previously had about his father, and the thought of wanting to be like him, are put into question. what would happen if he follows the path his father already walks?
unsure of what to do, and unsure of who he can trust among the upper echelon of claw that follows his father, he seeks out the newest member, katsuya serizawa, hoping he, as an adult, can shed some light on the situation. he begs for serizawa to help him. to help him understand what’s going on, and what he should do. serizawa can’t entirely understand the situations, and he doesn’t know what to think as it’s happening, but he sees innocent people, hurt. and he sees suzuki at the center of it. and he sees the man’s son, scared. alone. unsure of what to do. and at risk of being hurt too. and so. with what little knowledge and experience he has as a recluse. he makes a quick decision. he takes sho. and runs.
and runs.
and runs.
serizawa takes out his umbrella (it had started raining), and continues on, carrying sho in one arm.
they eventually end up in a place known as seasoning city. far enough from the current claw base of operations to feel somewhat safe for the time being. unsure of where to go, they end up looking around for anywhere that could be suitable for a couple of stray espers. a hotel, or somewhere they could find food, or a map. or something. anything. they just wanted to get out of the rain.
as they’re looking around, they see a sign.
“Spirits and Such Consultation Office”
they enter the building, entering into the office, a man introduces himself as reiegen arataka (he was in the middle of having a smoke break, thinking about where he’ll be after another year in the psychic business, how he’ll probably job hop again, thinking about what his next job will be,, maybe he’ll be a PI for a little while.) but before he can ask how he can help them, he’s caught off guard by the state the two him are in. he tells them they seem like they’ve ha a rough day. serizawa attempt so to speak but is too nervous. sho introduces the both of them, and asks if they can tak to him. reigen decides to humor the two.
sho tries his best to explain that him and serizawa are both espers, and that based on the sign outside, they thought reigen might have the same abilities that they do. reigen is incredibly suspicious of this claim, asking if this is some sort of elaborate prank they’re trying to pull. sho denies this, and does his best to explain to reigen vaguely about how they came from a place with some scary people, and that they’re both really scared, and not sure what to do. sho explains that to him they don’t want to be bad people too, and asks reigen if he can help them.
so reigen, still dubious of their claims, gives them advice the best advice he can think of on the spot. (pretty akin to what he tells mob in canon)
reigen decides to get up and grab them fresh (hot) refills of their tea, as he doesn’t have anymore clients for the day, and was simply waiting on walk-ins. reigen then loses his balance for a brief moment, and lets go of the cups of tea in his hands by accident. to his surprise, this prompts the two to each catch a cup with their psychic abilities, as well as keeping reigen from falling on his face. reigen looks at them with surprise, and asks if they are able to see spirits, and also if they’d like to learn how to exorcise them, offering to teach them how. sho looks at serizawa who nods, and sho agrees for both of them. reigen tells them that he’ll teach them how to use their powers in a way that won’t be scary or bad for anyone.
reigen also takes it upon himself to asks serizawa if he’s sho’s father, to which he shakes his head no, and sho proclaims he has no father. reigen decides against asking about any other possible parents. once their tea, and conversation, have been finished, reigen asks them to head home and come back tomorrow, the same as he’ll be doing. they glance at each other, and then glance at reigen, and then glance back at eachother. he asks if they actually have a place to stay for the night, and the two admit the have nowhere to go. reigen (after a bath and changing into some clean, non-damp from rain, clothes, allows them to stay at his apartment for the night, staring they’ll work on proper living arrangements later.
(he also buys them takoyaki in the morning)
so,, basically reigen and serizawa basically end up raising sho and sho ends up mentoring under reigen and working at spirits and such (reigen also ends up enrolling sho into school so he can get a proper education). meanwhile serizawa, while also doing his best to help reigen with sho, is also being mentored under and helped by reigen to reintegrate into society and adjust to living a non-reclusive life, while he also works at spirits and such alongside sho! (he eventually decides on going back to school, but that’s much later, and also the idea of going to night school specifically was reigen’s)
meanwhile, at the claw headquarters, a few weeks after the disappearance of sho and serizawa, and the aftermath of a search for both individuals who fled with no turn up of either, Suzuki decides it would be best to find a replacement for serizawa if possible (he has no reason to believe he’ll share what little information he had) and ask his wife of sho’s whereabouts (even though they hadn’t spoken in some time), assuming she had something to do with his disappearance specifically.
eventually, about a year (or perhaps a bit less than a year) later, his search leads him to seasoning city, where he digs up old rumors about a young child that once displayed the possession of substantial and rather impressive psychic abilities in kindergarten. eventually he is able to find the whereabouts of this child, and thus finds himself on the lageyama’s doorstep.
under the guise of an “esper councilor” he offers the parents of the young boy, shigeo kageyama, his expertise, in order to assist his growth into a stable, healthy, and powerful esper. to which they eventually make an agreement. an agreement allowing shigeo to visit mr. suzuki every other weekend, a timeframe that eventually shifts into every weekend, to which he eventually offers to be the boys teacher, having more than enough of the proper credentials and skill sets.
seeing how much happier shigeo is thought suzuki’s involvement, shigeo’s parents agree wholeheartedly, but ask one for one request to be fulfilled in return. to help mentor and nurture the growth of their youngest son as well. they explain to suzuki that, as far as they are aware at the moment, that he does not posses any psychic powers, however, he has been incredibly lonely, and misses his brother dearly when he is away from home. they expressed a concern that, although this private schooling could greatly benefit shige, they didn’t want it to negatively impact his little brother, or their relationship, and that perhaps being mentored together would benefit them both much in a much greater way than one being mentored alone.
suzuki agrees.
under suzuki’s guidance mob’s powers grow and flourish, having been gifted an umbrella by suzuki originally for comfort, it becomes a useful tool for harnessing his powers in a satisfying way.
ritsu also unlocks his latent abilities under suzuki’s influence. however they are much more unstable. as such, suzuki gifts him an umbrella to use as an outlet to use his powers in a safe, and controlled manner.
time passes, and after much nurturing training
the highest group among the upper echelon of claw, and the group working the closest with suzuki.
becomes known as the Ultimate 6.
(ALSO WHAT THE HELL THIS WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE SO LONG AAAAGFHRGRAH,,,.,., thank u for reading all of that if u somehow actually managed to get to the end. and maybe drop a reblog if you'd be interested to know more.,? dbsifbdi u don't have 2 obvi, but it'd be super nice!! i plan to make more mp100 content anyways so maybe even follow while ur here?? jk jk,, unless? okay i'll stop rambling now OH and thank u again for reading ^^ <3)

stupid normal world au where reigens backstory is the same. that whole thing with the muggers (?) and the kageyama kids happens but instead of loosing control mob finds all the strength in himself to drag ritsu to the closest building, which so happens to be reigens office. mob and reigen are just as close in this au BUT ritsu is begrudgingly fond of him as well they dont work for him but visit every weekend. when reigen meets their parents he basically becomes a glorified babysitter and godfather and couldnt be more proud of these kids.
serizawa is diagnosed with autism at a young age and later at 15 with harm ocd and bipolar and all of it kinda ends up mixing into Awful agoraphobia, but instead of suzuki!!! his mom introduces stuff to him slowly while home schooling him !!! and medication. and therapy. because good lord. BUT he eventually gets to a point where he can live on his own (dw shou lovers hes still there, he goes to the same school as teru and lives in the apartment next door to seri!! he lives with his mom!)
NOW QUE STUPID FUCKING SERIREI MEET CUTE
other notes:
the ultimate five and the scars are in a therapy group together that shous mom recommends to serizawa! they are all friends shut up
teru and mob meet in basically the same way but instead the fight ends just a few seconds after teru starts choking him and bro starts Weeping like uncontrollably and mobs hyperempathy autistic ass starts crying just as hard 😭😭😭 theyve been inseparable ever since pretty much

(ART COMMISSIONED FROM @eldridgeparking PLEASE COMMISSION FROM THEM THEY ARE AMAZING)
Sooo I've had this AU idea for a while and am working on writing it out but
What if Reigen really was a higher-up from Claw and hid it from Mob the whole time until the 7th Division Arc? Hehehe

[Age Swap, Mob pushes Reigen away after hurting him]
MobRei | Mob Psycho 100 Age Swap AU 07-03-2023
I need to go to sleep but I am having thoughts of Age Swap mobrei where Mob loses control and it ends up hurting Reigen pretty badly.
And he just can't stop the guilt from running through him.
He decides that for Reigen's safety he needs to push him away. Next time he sees him he keeps a calm and cold face, apologising to Reigen and telling him he doesn't need to come back anymore. He's a bit harsher than needed, hurts him to do so, but he simply needs to get Reigen away from him or else....
Reigen does end up leaving after being kicked out like this.
Like to imagine Mob, the man who was always pretty stoic, locking himself in the office as he cannot stop the wave of tears from coming out of him, apologizing Over and over again to reigen, the hurt look on his face burned in his memory.
But it's for the best....
And surely, he can go back to how he was before. He can go back to being the emotionless man he was and helping people as best as he can. He can go back to not feeling so strongly about someone. Something that scars him.
But things don't go like that...
back to had some more.
But Mob who, as times keep going, he just gets worse and worse. He's worse than when Reigen first found him.
He liked Reigen too much, knew he shouldn't have, but it felt good liking him. It felt good having him around. He had never actually felt this good in his life, someone reminding him to take care of himself properly.
now he looks like he barely caught any sleep in days, barely has the appetite to properly eat and goes between drowning himself in work and not being able to do much because it requires him to use his power, the exact thing that nearly killed Reigen.
He had half stopped smoking since he had started to have Reigen around him nearly all the time. Now he's smoking even more than before Reigen joined his side.
Reigen had been a bright, warm and colourful light in his sad and cold life, yet he was the one who took it away.
Wonder what would be Reigen's reaction to seeing the way Mob has deteriorated like this.
Maybe it takes weeks before he finally finds the courage to go and see Mob, thinking he can worm his way back into his life.
He passes by the office after school, only to find Mob looking like a walking corpse, eye bag worse than he has ever seen before and looking a lot less healthy than he did before. The smell of cigarettes is also surprisingly really bad. Was it always like this?
I feel like whatever Mob tries to tell him to push him away this time Reigen ain't gonna listen. He won't let Mob deteriorate like this, someone has to take care of him.
Maybe he forces him back home, demanding he takes a proper shower and shaves too. Forces him into comfortable and clean clothes. Cooks something simple for Mob to eat while Reigen busy himself cleaning around his little apartment. Mob can't even stop him, doesn't have the energy to.
and deep down, something doesn't want to. Something feels warm that Reigen is here again.

So I’ve (in my mind) made a swap au. Basically Ritsu swaps with Shou and Mob swaps with Teru. I made two design sheets for Ritsu and Shou.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Shous design I wanted to keep the spiky aspect of his hair while also making it more down turned. Instead of him being in student council he would hangout with the delinquents like Tenga and his friends so I gave him their color palette and undid the top button of his uniform. He also gets his hoodie color palette from his varsity jacket.
In this au he and Teru are adopted brothers. Shou ran away from his father before he ever awakened his powers and ended up running into Teru who was under the guardianship of Reigen. Shou goes to Salt middle and finds it easier to slack off than focus on school. At some point Tenga and them get beat up by Mob, the Black Vingear Shadow Leader.
This is the start of the Teruki Hanazawa arc (Shiego Kageyama arc in this au) Shou tells Teru about this and then Teru confronts Mob. Teru wins, but not with power. He wins by convincing Mob to use his powers for good and by telling him that he’s just normal like everyone else. After that Shou is confronted by Kamuro. He offers to turn a blind eye to any trouble Shou causes around school if he helps take down the school thugs.
This starts the Big clean up arc. Shou agrees but feels increasingly guilty since the delinquents are his friends. He joins the awakening lab kids in attempt to awaken his own power. After enough build up of guilt he awakens his power. Unlike Ritsu he can control his powers much better in this au, defeating the need for dimple in this arc. He helps beat up the thugs that come to his school in search of Yellow-T poison (Teru lol). Mob finds out and warns him to stop. Shou doesn’t listen and Mob tells Teru. Teru confronts Shou in an ally. Koyama shows up and kidnaps Shou.
7th division arc starts. Since Teru isn’t strong enough the fight is short and Shou is taken. In their cell, Shou and the awakening lab kids, plan to escape. Before the one scar with the massive chin (I don’t know his name) comes around Shou melts through the cell bars and takes out the cell guards. They wander the facility and take out a group of claw soldiers. Ritsu appears and recognizes Shou as the bosses son. They fight but Shou loses since his powers are so new to him. Teru finds Shou and freaks out. Ritsu quickly knocks him out and they are taken to the room where they can’t use their powers. Shou and Teru make up and Reigen gets them out of the room. The division leaders attempt to stop them. Mob isn’t confident in his fighting skills so transfers his powers to Teru so he can fight claw. Reigen tells him to run and the power transferred to Reigen after he hits 100. With the combination of Teru and Mobs powers Reigen easily defeats the claw leaders. Ishiguro try’s to attack after Reigen runs dry of power. Ritsu stops him. Ritsu reunites with Mob but has to leave, Not before he tells Shou that he has potential. I’m only doing season one because all 3 would be too much to type.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now for Ritsu. I kept the right heavy aspect of hair while also making more upturned. His pants are the same color as the ones he wears in the world domination arc. I changed the varsity jacket to suit him better and changed the bolt to a spoon because I thought it was funny.
Since Claw’s bosses son ran away they have been on the hunt to look for him. While looking for him they find mob who is very strong. They try to kidnap him but end up getting the wrong brother. When they figure this out they put Ritsu through the awakening experiments to see if he has powers like his brother. The experiments succeed but they are brutal. Since Ritsu is the most successful experiment Toichiro takes him under his wing kind of like replacing his son. Ritsu plays the role of the obedient son but plans to take down claw and get back to his family. He is sent on mission to find good recruits for HQ, he plans to recruit others to help oppose claw instead. After recruiting Fukuda and the other he ends up at division 7. One day a group of kids tries to escape and he stops them. He recognizes the leader of the kids as the bosses real son. Ritsu believes he would be a valuable asset for taking down claw. Shou tells him that their are espers stronger than him that he knows. Ritsu immediately thinks of his brother. They end up fighting so that Ritsu can get a gage of Shou’s powers and to lure out his brother possibly. He ends up realizing that Shou could be much stronger than him if he trained his powers. Ritsu waits for Mob to find Shou. He’s disappointed to see Teru show up instead. He knocks him out and drags them to a room where their powers won’t work. His brother is in there to after being defeated but In the moment he can’t recognize him since he has that stupid wig on. He leaves to find out what the division leaders are doing. The division leaders and the intruder end up fighting. Ritsu watches and intervenes when Ishiguro tries to get the final blow in. Ritsu easily defeats him and looks back to tell Teru that he was disappointed in him for being a coward but decides against him when he sees his brother, who no longer has such a stupidly large wig on. They reunite and Ritsu promises he’ll be back but not before acknowledging that Shou has serious potential. After everyone leaves Ritsu gets a call from Toichiro. He informs him that the 7th division was defeated and suggests that maybe claw isn’t as strong as he thinks. Toichiro reminds him that he’s talking to the boss and that he should watch what he says. The call ends and he walk off to get back home to plan claw’s take down now that he knows that there are more strong espers that could help.
Well that was fun. I’m going to start working in Teru and Mob designs too. Hopefully I finish them this week

I think "reigen is the real leader of claw" aus dont work bc i can never really see reigen doing smth like that even if he did have powers but i do have this very specific vision of it where reigen joins the 7th div as like a security guard or other nonpsychic job position smth not really aware of what the company actually is. And then he fails upwards into like scar level and eventually HQ thru a series of Wacky and Hilarious misunderstandings and eventually Toichiro invites him into his office bc he wants to know how this guy is pulling all of this off. But gets reigen to go make tea first and reigen accidentally uses sakurai's Evil Cursed Lethal Tea instead of normal tea and toichiro dies and because Claw is a fucking sham of an organization it works on The Santa Clause (1994) rules so reigen is the leader now.

[blasts through the door so that unrealistic 3d blocks aimlessly and slowly float around as dust particles]
If I may-th impead on your domain. I ask-th, if you may, tell me about either most angst ideas you've ever had with OC x canon or the "kicks feet and giggles" sweet type ideas
I saw ur post n Tumblr said nah so I came here.
ANJJKNSKNJS
Ok So....
The Beauty that is scarlette is.
She has so many fucking issues man every SINGLE ship ive put her in has been slowburn strangers friends to lovers in some form cuz i genuinely cant imagine her one day getting randomly into a relationship in like, a blind date way.
SO A LLOTTA THE ANGST CAUSE IS JUST *HER DENIAL* AND AVOIDANCE, i quite frankly LOVE using misunderstandings with her in particular cuz she is so avoidant, she stsrts to avoid her crush and loses friendships that way a lot,
"they'd hate me if they knew i had a crush on them" cuz past trauma of first confession in middle school where everyone already didnt like her and all, and her only friend back then was her "crush", (which might have just been her desperate to cling to the only classmate she thought was a friend) and he just. Slung A lotta insults after she confessed that was the last straw caused her to be how she is
SO EXPLANATIONS OVER HERES THE FUNNY SHIPPING PARTS, read more to spare ppl. Also realizing this isnt just aus but abit vaguely entirely au related in some cases so. Beware
Scarhouse:
Angst; her starting to gain a crush and upon both Madhouse and her pining she realizes this and starts becoming so so *so* avoidant, which makes mike think she hates him now and Robyn has to force them BOTH to confront each other about it in the end (confession time at least happens)
Sweet; i like to think scarlette uses mike as a mattress cuz she can touch ghosts so he CAN hold her, so just cuddling typically on a hot day, wrote a fic n put it on ao3 and i still think its really fun.. touch starved individuals BHFJ
AnxiousGlamour; cant think of angst but the entire dynamic of enemies to friends to lovers with them is so fucking funny to me they yell at each other and insult each other banterly their dynamic before friendship is so funny to me, but lord they genuinely have surprising amount in common, sweet moments wise in my Monsterheart au Scarlette checks on Mettaton cuz ya know. Limbs, and just. They talk. Quiet moment of "you arent so bad afterall." Just quiet moments, Mettaton and her take the boat back to waterfall cuz Scar wanted to say goodbye to Napstablook, before she supposedly died or not. Somber ish moments before she says a "final" goodbye
Now ACTUAL shipping wise? Confession where scarlette is finally okay enough to acknowledge she wasnt get slaughtered or hated by a now at this point good friend just for having a crush, confesses to Mettaton, and "I'll uh, I'm probably gonna be pretty avoidant so i can make the crush go away so im sorry in adva-" "Darling I have been flirting with you for weeks now" "What" hjVKV
MonstrousLiars (okay so NAME CONTEXT. They're both liars. One would think Reigen would be more monstrous cuz ya know. Conman. So figurative 4 him but also hes Really Not. Scarlette is a Literal Monster.): Scarlette nearly dieing to save his and the kids asses which makes her go fully into a kinda adrenalyn fueled shapeshifting moment where she may be a Little drunk off the magic rushing through her veins and afterwards kinda has to be watched over cuz shes not doin great rn,
Scarlette is able to sense curses but not see them (ie she gets very bad vibes gets pale and goes into a minor cold sweat when too close to one, or gets a bubbling sense of dread with skin prickling etc etc, shes essentially absorbing the cursed energy against her will so her body feels BAD) so she just feels really ill and like shes dieing when she DOES get cursed, walks all the way to the office and collapses concerning everyone.
The ingeneral fact this woman wont let anyone help her with her issues is a great cause of pain for everyone cuz they WANNA help tbh
Sweet moments wise Scarlette at some point finally trusting Reigen enough to just, be a person, joke around abit, get him extra snacks she knows he'll like cuz getting people food is a love language.
Reigen and her having one on one dinners cuz he just wanted to know her better meanwhile shes just. Shes not even here for FREE food shes SHIT at interacting she doesnt even know why shes here but hey. coffee ! ghjFVUHG
Bonus cuz current brainrot is these two. Scarlette learning from Mob and Serizawa how things used to be way emptier and hints at reigen also just kinda, not being as having friends as one would assume he would have,, and Scar being just. Able to see that. Maybe theyre abit more similar than she thought and reachimg out abit.
She's been keeping pretty closed off, so i like to think her noticing Reigen is more similar to her than she would have assumed first, over him noticing it first, seemed fitting here, cuz shes learned bit about him through others, whereas she's been really rather. Not prone to even talking about herself, and the only way they can maybe learn more info bout her is carter or random moments of her hyperfixations pop up somehow
