It’s actually killing me how canonically kind and sensitive Giyuu is.

He stitched the haori’s of his two loved ones together and wore it for years. He remembered Murata’s name after all this time. He felt so strongly about Sabito’s death he had to repress his feelings entirely to function again. He gave two siblings a chance to try to find a way to cure becoming a demon despite his duty to do otherwise. In the manga he helped Mitsuri up when Tengen accidentally knocked her over at the first pillar meeting we see. He wanted to try and befriend Sanemi by giving him his favorite snack.

The fact that he went from smiling so wide and tearing up over his friend slapping him to showing hardly any emotions at all–just so he wouldn’t succumb to the despair and hopelessness of his grief, just so he could keep living–it’s so heartbreaking.

hi *i say as i spread the shoumob truth*

THIS ONE NOW!

I LOVED making this one! It seriously got me out of the artblock abyss SO fast urghh

I think the clothes already give it away but the design is based on the fight against Shimazaki n s2! I love that fight, so when I thought about portraying Teru's side in it I got a little carried away by the thought that he's practically my age and was saving the world from self-centered terrorists

I wanted a scared, afraid, terrified Teruki... That's what I wanted to portray, the FEAR of losing and knowing (or maybe not) the consequences of his failure! It was tense, and he couldn't win alone (in fact I think that deep down, deep down he was never content with not having killed that blind man).

So if at any point you expressed that you liked the expressiveness or movement or anything like that in the drawing, THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know because it makes me happy that the message got across ^^

End of the lecture, thanks for reading hehehe (⁠^⁠^⁠)

☆ Day 2 : hobby or fight

Prompt list :

Thinking about how "You really are amazing!" from Teru to Mob in the broccoli fight is about disconnect. About Mob succeeding where Teru failed (giving Teru yet another reason to idolize him). He views Mob as incorruptible, so there will always be an uncrossable distance between them.

But then "You really are amazing" from Dimple to Mob at the end of divine tree is about connection! It's about understanding! He gets Mob more in that scene than he ever has before bc his godly powers gave them a shared experience. He knows Mob is fallable and as a result knows how hard he's working not to fail, and Dimple's desire to emulate that work for Mob's sake gives the scene such a gentle intimacy.

The admiration isn't the problem. The problem is that at this point Teru sees Mob as a deific figure, while Dimple sees Mob as a friend.

!!! HII !!!

Oh pls forgive me for just... DISAPPEARING! If only I could tell you guys everything that's been happening lately!

I'll leave this WIP here as a reminder that I'm still here, I'm still an artist and that I need to finish this sooner or later!! I promise I'm trying hard to post again! It's just that you can't have a good academic, social and artistic life at the same time, one of them needs to be sacrificed O⁠_⁠o

Mezato is a very intriguing person despite her position as a side character restricting the audience's knowledge on her, but there are some implications I have become very interested on.

During her conversation with Ritsu post-LOL Cult arc, she mentions something akin to "people really aren't born as equals", referring to how Mob is so disadvantaged compared to Ritsu even thought they're siblings. However, that also says a lot about her motivations. Mezato has two main reasons for organizing the Psycho Helmet Cult and trying to make it influent (with Mob's help as their messiah): 1) it sounded fun; and 2) she wanted to take part in such a massive event. Although the "fun" part can be attributed to the fact that well, she is a fourteen year old with a weird perspective, both motivations are directly associated to not only Mezato's passion, but her opinion on herself.

First of all, she becomes fixated on anything that appears worthy of her attention. It kickstarts her adventures as the school journalist, hunting for any kind of news that she believes to be interesting, and by that she doesn't mean "math class is cancelled": Mezato goes far beyond, from catching shoplifters red-handed to infiltrating a cult that supposedly brainwashes its members. It's clear that the mundane is not enough to her. Mezato wants the current biggest thing. This is one of the reasons she gets so interested in Mob, and being so obsessed with the worldchanging, Mezato cannot bring herself to care as much about the common, the mundane. This way, she can only see entertainment, or better put, value, in what stands out.

Equally, Mezato wants to participate in something she sees as 'big'. Being someone who is so attracted to the flashiest parts of reality, she wants to have an active, direct role regarding them. It makes her feel entertained. It makes her feel fulfilled. It makes her feel special, most of all, because even being in the Biggest Thing's shadow removes her from the condition of banality she disdains so much. That's what makes the Psycho Helmet Cult sound like such an excelent idea, as hollow and uncritical it could be.

But what does these beliefs say about Mezato? Simple. Mezato doesn't think she can be interesting or valuable by herself. She is not shown as pretty, or academically gifted, or athletic. She doesn't appear to have friends. She doesn't even have an ability with the occult like Mob does. Mezato is a normal, lonely girl who has no other excuse to be noticed besides her imprudent detective work, but worse than that, she thinks she can't change. Mezato will never be attention-worthy as herself, so she appeals to inserting herself in whatever interesting thing she finds in the hope that it'll make her Someone by association. She could be a loser, a nobody, but at least she helped build something that is wonderful, and that is the closest she can get to being important.

Her interests and achievements, in this sense, are more like an extension of herself than a result of her passion. A passion that isn't understood by anyone else. A passion that others ignore and are annoyed at, which only reinforces her loneliness and her obsession with chasing after Big Things. If she succeeds, she will finally have a part of herself she can be proud of. After all, there are a hundred wonders in the world with the potential to change everything; there is only one Ichi Mezato and she can never be like them.

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: i am not a creep. i am not a weirdo. i do know what the hell i’m doing here. i do belong here

Terumob Week Day 1: Family/School Life

Teruki settles for studying in the same high school as Mob. He doesn't know, but Mob is trying his hardest to go to Teruki's dream college too.

I have a theory now for how Saitama got his power and it’s ‘Saitama accidentally did to himself what the Weapon X program did to its subjects’

Like you can say that his training program wasn’t that intensive but when you remember that he had like no money, thought a banana for breakfast was enough, and did not step himself up gradually, yeah I can see why he was spitting blood and it’s because he was straight-up starving himself, man was burning SO many calories that he did not have

So yeah he stress-activated his own meta gene

And no one understands it because the OPM world is in fucking shambles and no one has figured out exactly why some people develop powers and some don’t (aka they haven’t discovered their version of the meta gene yet)

I feel that this theory is sound and holds up to scrutiny
