After a long while of thinking, I also figured that this was basically the first time that he wasn’t being directly depended on by his friends (being unaware of Robin). The stakes here wasn’t anything like a crew member’s life or well-being (compare to Enel and Nami), it was “my life” versus “some people I just met a few hours ago,” even if it was people he did sympathize with. (Sure, franky might be disappointed but hey.)

It’s also the first time his bluffs has had such severe consequences, and the first time people trusted in his credibility so much. His main motivation for being there initially was “well I can’t talk Robin out of this but she’s strong and can protect me at least.” But without her, as he keeps hearing the tontata waiting for him, his motivation becomes “standing by my word” (or “by my lies” as the case may be) and that’s a pretty big deal for him to do.

Anyways all that is kinda honestly hard to display in shonen manga, especially when he’s gonna be constantly compared to the rest of his crew, who do have a lot of willpower to fight for people they don’t know based on certain factors (women, children, patients, “because I feel like it,” etc)

I’ve always maintained that Usopp’s one of the most... realistic/relatable characters in the way he acts and how he thinks about things (at least, from a reader’s perspective, if any of us were suddenly dropped into the OP universe I think we’d probably all have a lot in common with him!) so I completely agree!

And while he might not have instantly thrown himself into the line of fire, by the time he worked through everything he still realized that his conscience wouldn’t let him run away without trying something (and later in the arc when he’s directly faced with being able to help Luffy he doesn’t hesitate at all) and again I think that’s something a lot of people can understand looking at the situation as a whole.

From the work "If At First You Don't Succeed, Find A Loophole" by MalkyTop (@sleepdepravity) on ao3!!!!

(even with my busy schedule .. i had to draw today's update, it drove me insane)

[itsmorrisworm]

More fanfic fanart, this time for @sleepdepravity’s ongoing timeloop fic If At First You Don’t Succeed, Find a Loophole. Really like the unique writing style, maybe it’s just the repeat endings but it reminds me a bit of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy text adventure (I was not very good and kept dying repeatedly, if that gives you a bit of an idea).

Didn’t mean for this to come out so cartoony, feels a bit goofy haha. Reigen’s pose reminds me of a visual novel?

Take the reigen visual novel png and another version I was debating on

[its-hai-time]

Get bonked, idiot.

fanart for this fic by @sleepdepravity which is amazing and funny. I’ve been trapped in the time prison.

[mixel-pixel]

Fan art for @sleepdepravity for their WONDERFUL mp100 fic “Curses and Such” cannot recommend it enough, please check it out

[purpleleavesday]

The fic Mr. Cellophane by @sleepdepravity from like 2016 has taken over my mind so I made fanart based on it because my mind has been consumed by it utterly and completely

If you read Mr. Cellophane and like it then I'd also highly recommend the continuation, A Human Being is Worth More than Air by Flyndragon as well, these are easily my favorite one piece oneshots

@sleepdepravity

HEY! My sister made fanart of If At First You Don't Succeed, Find a Loophole! She doesn't have a tumblr, but she wanted me to deliver it to you.

(also, a safe is driving the trolley - you can see it peeking through the front window wearing its very official conductor hat)

Sis says: "I'm sorry."

All My Fault

Serizawa has a new nightmare about the Loop Curse, Reigen is there to comfort him.

Archive of Our Own Link: All My Fault

Takes place after the end of If At First You Don't Succeed, Find a Loophole by @sleepdepravity

________________________________________

Serizawa grumbled and opened his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, his first instinct was to check his bedside clock. 6AM, first day of the month.

"Looks like I failed again..." he sighed, placing his hands on his legs, as he sat at the end of his bed.

He got up with a sigh. He had to get away from Reigen. All he did was cause the trigger for that mavolent spirit to use everything in her power to Reigen. He just had to get away, he only made things worse.

Serizawa hastily made some toast for breakfast and got on his bicycle, deciding to eat on the go. Reigen would be here any minute, he had to go somewhere, anywhere, as long as Reigen wasn't there. He opted to go north, cycling through narrow country lanes to throw Reigen off.

After what felt like hours, Serizawa stopped for a rest.

Reigen surely couldn't arrive during a short, one minute break, could he?

A taxi pulled up and someone got out, the last person Serizawa needed to see. He mentally groaned as he saw Reigen gesturing to the driver. Reigen was in for a world of pain from forces beyond his control and he was none the wiser.

He made his way over to Serizawa once the taxi had driven off.

"Serizawa, why were you cycling down here?" he questioned, tapping his foot impatiently, "I checked by yours to see if you were okay because you hadn't come in, and I saw you cycling away!"

His gaze then softened and he placed his hand on Serizawa’s shoulder.

"Sorry, that came if all wrong,." he apologised, "What I meant to say was, are you okay? Something has to be wrong for you to start cycling away with toast dangling out of your mouth."

Serizawa cringed. He saw that?

"I'm serious Serizawa, you can tell me." Reigen reassured, "I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to."

That was what made Serizawa to break down.

"I've said it so many times already!" he cried, putting up a barrier between them to block a tree branch that was sent hurtling towards Reigen.

"You're cursed badly Reigen, and md initiating any contact with you, whether over the phone or physical, triggers that spirit to try and kill you with everything she's got!"

For a second, Serizawa’s barrier faltered, and a large rock flew into Reigen’s head, killing him instantly.

_________________________________________

Serizawa woke with a start, hyperventilating.

"I... failed again... it's all my fault..." he managed to choke out. To the left of him, someone stirred, but  didn't notice, his mind was still focused on what had just happened.

"Serizawa?" the voice said groggily.

Serizawa did not hear this either, he was beginning to panic even more.

"It's all my fault all my fault all my fault, all my fault!" he cried out, clenching his eyes shut and curling in on himself.

The books and assorted plushes began to float around him.  He couldn't shake the thought that it was his fault.

The owner of the voice shuffled quietly over to sitting front of Serizawa. The noise caused Serizawa to open his eyes. It took a few minutes for Serizawa to realise that Reigen was sat in front of him, alive and breathing.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Reigen asked softly.

Serizawa could only muster up a nod.

"Good, good." Reigen reassured, "Now, when you're ready, we are going to breathe in and out for five seconds, you got that?"

"I'm not ready!" Serizawa hyperventilated,

"It's okay Serizawa, I'm giving you all the time you need."

After a few minutes, Serizawa had  calmed down enough to give Reigen a weak thumbs up.

"Breathe in..." Reigen said, counting to five on his fingers, "And out."

"In... and out."

Serizawa followed suit.

After a few minutes, he had calmed down enough that the book and plushies weren't floating anymore.

"There we go." Reigen smiled, "Are you able to tell me what happened?"

Serizawa sheepishly nodded.

"I had a nightmare about the loop again." he said, fumbling with his hands.

"Ah, that dreaded loop." Reigen said, "Do you need any physical comfort so you know I'm here? You can always say no if you're not comfortable with that."

Yes please..." Serizawa asked, "Is holding hands ok?

Reigen smiled softly. "Of course it it is."

Reigen gently took Serizawa’s calloused hands in his, and began to gently rub them with his thumbs.

"As you were saying?" he said.

Serizawa paused for a moment to think.

"The loop started off like many other loops did, I got up, got dressed, and left to get away from you so I wouldn't hurt you."

Reigen nodded, listening carefully to his boyfriend. He continued to rub circles into Serizawa’s hands.

"I tried to cycle as far away as possible, but you found me." Serizawa continued, "You asked what was going on so I explained it to you as I blocked projectiles with my barrier, but I faltered for a second, and a large rock flew into your head, killing you."

"It wasn't your fault, Serizawa." Reigen reassured, "You didn't know it would happen."

"But it is my fault!" Serizawa retorted, "No matter what happens, I can't save anyone, even in my dreams!"

The plushes and books began to float around them again.

All I do I hurt people..."

"Serizawa, please look at me." Reigen spoke, putting one hand on Serizawa’s shoulder, causing Serizawa to look up.

"You don't have to look in my eyes but please listen to me. What happened was not your fault."

"B-but!" Serizawa tried to interject."You didn't command those objects to fly at me, it was all that witch." Reigen said, "You did your best to protect me."

"But doing my best is never enough, I should've been able to stop it, no, I should've been able to outrun you!" Serizawa sobbed.

"You are more than good enough,  Serizawa." Reigen stated, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here right now."

"Your nightmares and OCD are trying to scare you into you didn’t do enough and that you only hurt others."

Serizawa sniffled, rubbing his eyes with his free hand.

"You are kind, Serizawa, kinder than most people I've ever met. You have grown leaps and bounds since both the curse and Claw."

"Really?" Serizawa asked, the plushes and books around him spinning very weakly.

"Of course!" Reigen grinned, "Someone who didn't care about others wouldn't turn themselves around and save mine and others lives."

The plushes and books dropped to the floor.

"I suppose you're right." Serizawa chuckled, "I need to get better at telling myself that."

"You're doing amazing, I believe you can do it." Reigen encouraged.

"Thank you so much, Reigen." Serizawa smiled, wrapping his arms gently around Reigen.

"You're welcome." Reigen said, hugging Serizawa in return.

I JUST LOST THE ASK (accidentally deleted the draft oopsie) BUT HERE’S REIGEN AND MINORI FOR @sleepdepravity

Reigen

Why I like them- Ok so this is a Whole Thing with me. Reigen on his own isn’t my favorite character (still a great character though, I don’t have a single favorite for mp100 I love them ALLLLL) but looking at his bonds with others as a whole makes him SO much fun to analyze. It’s the effect he has on others that I find so interesting about him and why I make so much Reigen content, ESPECIALLY WITH MOB!! They’re so family. They’re SO family oh my god.

Why I don’t- using this as an excuse to talk about why I like to viciously ruin Reigen’s life in fics and stuff. Not because it’s fun to see His reaction but to how others around him respond, like what would Ritsu do if his brother’s Shishou suddenly keeled over? That’s my jam. Fascinating to me

Favorite episode (scene if movie)- sigh. S2 EP7.

Favorite season/movie- do NOT make me answer this theres too much good stuff of him in every season. Every frame where he looks fugly. That’s my favorite!!!!

Favorite line- “You’ve grown up so much, you know?”

Favorite outfit- if expressions are outfits then whatever the fuck this shit is. I WISH I WAS A CARTOON CHARACTER LIKE THAT

OTP- sometimes serirei

Brotp- guys guess what my favorite trio is. You’ll never guess (it’s Reigen Mob and Dimple they’re my favorite friends)

Head Canon- has an office candy jar because he quit smoking (insane about this)

Unpopular opinion- I’ll leave the “Reigen isn’t suicidal the finale was a self sacrificial thing and the train was an act of desperation” rant for another day and go with REIGEN QUIT SMOKING GUYS ITS CANON PLEASE

A wish- Reigen. Manga. Animated.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen- Reigen manga Never Animated

5 words to best describe them- “please call him a slur” (/j)

My nickname for them- ray gun

Minori

Why I like them- PEOPLE CAN CHANGE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE oh my god. I love her for learning and growing from mogamiland. I love mogami arc for the way it ends on a. Bittersweet note for lack of a better word? Hopeful I guess?

Why I don’t- she would have bullied the shit out of middle school me

Favorite episode (scene if movie)- End of mogami arc :(

OTP- none

Brotp- alright hear me out on this one, Matsuo and Minori hanging out. Bc matsuo had Mogami trapped for a while and Minori was stuck with Mogami for a good while. And. And EXPLODES

Head Canon- she developed a bad habit of watching snuff as a coping mechanism before she started to get better

Unpopular opinion- I’ve seen the interpretation that all of her actions were controlled by mogami even in mogamiland and. It’s just not true! That’s not true at all! not unpopular but all I could think of

A wish- MINORI OFFICIAL ART

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen- mogami arc stage play. I love the stage plays but idk if mogami arc would fit that tone

5 words to best describe them- “middle-school autistic boy’s worst nightmare” (/j)

[alamariart]

I may or may not be serial commenting on @sleepdepravity 's in absentia*. I had to take a break to draw Reigen freaking out over his soul

sleepdepravity

Hell yeah!!! Magic puzzles. They’re fun. That one is fun. It’s cute

This puzzle is incredibly cute and also defying all my expectations of what jigsaw puzzles can do. I love it a lot already.

[itsmorrisworm]

Tumblr loves killing my images and not letting me post them :’)

Drew a comic of a funny moment from @sleepdepravity’s Curses and Such! This one’s from the second chapter where Reigen buys a cursed tie that steals his voice. It’s a really cute and good fic about the different ways Reigen gets cursed
