I would like to know when you started drawing and where your passion for fanart started 😊

Oh FUCK dude i did not see this i’m so fucking sorry this is so late 😭 damn you, tumblr, for not fucking notifying me!! Anyway buckle up this is gonna be much longer than you asked for <3

Honestly ive kinda been drawing all my life! I hope that doesnt sound dumb cuz obviously almost everyone drew pictures when they were kids, but i know that it’s been a consistent hobby for me since i was little. By the time i was in 3rd grade I was hoarding notebooks to draw in. Cuz that’s something fun about me: i had a real huge habit of drawing in things that werent sketchbooks. Through middle school and beyond I did buy/receive sketchbooks, but I started out with various kinds of notebooks. One I had from like 2nd grade was like a hardcover, stationary-type notebook that I drew cats in lol, and I have 2 velvet lisa frank notebooks from 3rd grade. In high school and college I had a really bad habit of drawing in the margins on my notes and on handouts the teacher/professor would give. Those classes where the prof just prints out all the notes beforehand and gives them to you to follow along? Oh man, I spent so many classes barely listening while I drew on them! I also used to draw on my physics homework and tests and sometimes I even got extra credit for them (thank you jeff :D). I actually have a folder of various drawings I’ve kept from that 8yr time period and a lot of them are on classwork 😂

Obviously, I’ve been doing a lot of digital art lately, which I’m sure is what u were more curious about rather than the shit about drawing on my homework. I got a surface pro as a graduation gift in 2016 bc prior to that i had a wacom tablet and a janky ass laptop, so the gift was kinda a 2-in-1: i can do schoolwork AND art easily! i like digital art a lot and honestly im still learning new things abt it every time i draw. I use Leonardo currently (i’ll skip that story) but I started out doing digital art on sketchfu WITHOUT the wacom tablet in maaaaybe 2012??? 2011??? does anyone on this site remember sketchfu? Honestly couldnt even tell u how i found that site hahah the internet was just full of wonders back in the day. RIP sketchfu. Once i got the tablet tho some time later i used sketchfu still (i think) but also gimp and krita i believe.

Oh i suppose I should mention that i took art all four years of highschool and also minored in it in college! So it’s something i did academically as well as for fun. I keep thinking about going to art school for realsies but idk. I’m already $$$ in debt from my first degree i dont feel like adding to that 😅😓

Ok now for the second part of your question: I’ve also pretty much always done fan art! Ive never really been one for OC’s, EXCEPT for the self-insert superhero double life “comics” i wrote about a poodle named Sassy when i was in third grade. And then the knock off “comics” i wrote at a later time which honestly it was weird that i did a knock off of my own thing rather than just adding them to the original or making it a spin off with at least one of the og characters. Cuz it wasnt a spin off!! But anyway there wasnt really much to any of these characters; i just needed vessels to get my weird ideas out.

So anyway yeah most of what ive ever drawn has been fan art or self portraits, because its just easier for me to take characters that already exist and bend them to my will (artistically). Well excluding art assignments in school i guess because i would usually have to draw something specific and therefore not something self indulgent. But yeah ive drawn for lots of fandoms like the earliest i remember is warrior cats. Then theres things like pokemon and warriors and random other books i read thru middle school (i used to read a LOT but now im practically illiterate); spn, sherlock, and marvel through high school; and then marvel and bttf thru the end of hs and beyond. Idk i also have always loved looking at other peoples fan art and so im like “shit i wanna do that too!”. Tho i will say marvel was my biggest fandom and the one i had the longest interest in, so that was probably where the passion REALLY came from cuz I was drawing marvel stuff for such a long time (tho not posting shdjsk u have to trust me), but ive been doing fan art forever :)

(Of course, a lot of the fan art i was making prior to recently was drawn in lined notebooks or on homework sheets or what have you, and I wasn’t posting really any of it, but i was still making it and a good chunk of it still exists. Oh i should also mention most of it was with pencils or ballpoint pens like i wasnt doing anything too fancy. There was some digital art in the highschool-college time frame but it also really wasnt…much. Honestly i barely posted any of it here but I know some of it’s on deviantart)

I cant pinpoint the exact time I started getting more “serious” about my art in general, but i know the first pandemic lockdown gave me more free time and i was less stressed about schoolwork so i just kinda had a good outlet. (Tho i will say that prior, I had been in a life drawing club for a short while, and i had also been working on a personal sketchbook project that had me pretty ~inspired~ to do art. Also i watched twin peaks around this time and it inspired a lot of Feelings and i was making funky collages and other art pieced that were sometimes related to that. Some of those are on deviantart)

Honestly I think the Big thing with my digital art was coincidentally getting back into BTTF the summer of the 35th anniversary bc the fandom here was THRIVING and i was like “oh shit wait i want to contribute!” But as i kept drawing i kept wanting to improve and that leads us to right now where im constantly trying new things (whether subtle or obvious) and challenging myself to do full body drawings with different poses, and doing screencap redraws and what have you for various reasons (backgrounds, proportions, pose, etc)

So yeah :) Basically I’ve been doing fan art forever (I didnt even get into all the mediums ive tried but that’s another conversation bc this is already so long and convoluted) and it’s kinda coincidental that ive suddenly really gotten back into it and have improved dramatically in such a short time. Thank you so much @rovermcfly for the ask and again im really sorry you had to wait so long for a response! Stupid tumblr

[”Okay but what about a LAMP soulmate au where, when touched, your skin discolors to one specific color, whether it’s some stranger or close family. If your soulmate touches you it’s the complementary color to that.”]

-quote from one of my old posts a year ago

I just wanted to redraw these when I found them (and also add some D to that LAMP and a little highschool au) and I love it!

(Dee and Roman are already together. Patton and Virgil meet when Virgil moves into Patton’s city. They live in the city next to the one Dee and Roman are in. Logan goes to school in another neighbor city. They all meet at some fair, a school sport game or another meet-up between the schools. The coup is that most of them lived this close together and never really met.)

soulmate color // normal touch color

Patton: cyan, red-orange Roman: red, light blue Virgil: yellow, dark blue Logan: mint, pink Dee: magenta, yellow-green

I was thinking of some headcanons while drawing so you get them too:

Dee always walks around like a runway model both clothing and attitude wise

Roman loves it

They both get all the main parts in theater club

They’re very dramatic, sometimes they fight so vicious the whole school hears is, people bet on how many hours it takes this time until they make up again

Roman is insecure about his height

Dee loves his height, very hug-able

Dee only lets his soulmates touch him, strangers make him uncomfortable

Virgil has natural curls but straightens them as long as he has enough motivation

Patton cares for the animals in his school’s petting zoo

Logan and Dee already met, they’re both part of their respective school’s decathlon teams (not that they know that they’re soulmates)

Patton just wanted to make friends with the new kid, grabbed his hand in the halls and now has a soulmate who doesn’t actually want a soulmate :(

Virgil had some bad memories of the concept of soulmates

his parents were soulmates but hid dad was an abusive asshole and Virgil, his mom and his younger twin siblings ran away

It took two months until Virgil was comfortable enough to start meeting up with Patton and opening up to the idea of soulmates

he did copy Pats homework in that time though

i take back the meet-up thing from before Virgil and Logan meet in the library in one of the cities in the most cliche way

Logan can’t get to one of the books on the higher shelves so Virgil decides to help, Logan gets startled, they touch and Virgil’s confused because??? two?? soulmates????

they meet up, Patton sees Logan and Virgil holding hands, runs up to them and just hugs the living crap out of them

Logan joins their meet ups

Logan and Dee befriend each other since they both learn to be opener with other people and they feel a connection

it’s still Roman and Patton who actually find out they’re soulmates

Pat, Virgil and Ro are supportive boyfriends and visit one of the decathlons Dee and Logan both compete at

Pat bought sandwiches with him and offers one to Roman

Roman takes it, they touch, they stare at each other, nervous flustered Roman stuffs his face full with sandwich and nearly chokes xD 

having more than two soulmates is incredibly rare- whoops I got four i guess

Roman and Patton are cuddle kings, the other three are more hesitant about being touched but Ro and Pat can always count on each other to be hug-ready (they’re always hug-ready for the others too though)

y’all have no idea how much fun i had with the different hair colors <3 so much better than everyone having brown hair

Roman dyes his hair different colors all the time

Virgil can sleep better when his soulmates are there

Logan looks like he’d hate any contact with any human being ever, which is also why he doesn’t have too many friends, but he actually doesn’t mind touching as long as it’s not too excessive or it doesn’t hinder him at what ever task he has to do right now

funfact: the first time you touch your soulmate the skin where you touched gets warmer and begins emitting light so you don’t frickin’ miss that your life just took a 180 degrees turn

September 22nd 2017 Vs October 30th 2019

Misora in dreamland

So I’ve decided to do this redraw because I’ve always been really unsatisfied with the first drawing. I love the background but I just hate how Misora looks. I know in 2017 I was still learning more about anatomy and posing. I know for fact I gave her a sleeping mask because I was struggling with her eyes. You better believe I hate drawing hands so heck yes I’m gonna hide it with a pillow. Also in 2017 I was still figuring out colored lineart and I haven’t touched the line/curve tool yet. I’m still learning and improving with the things above but I’ve already improved so much in the last two years. 

Okay things that I feel like really improved my artwork that folks can use if they want to. 

-Photo reference. I’m still struggling with this, but honestly anytime someone is like “wow this piece looks amazing!!!” and it a favorite among everyone it’s 10/10 most likely I used a reference for it.  -Color match if you’re going to be drawing a real person. I was going to use the colors I did from my old drawing but I decide to use a photo reference and take colors right from the photo. For example: using her actual skin color makes her feel more real. I know some people wanna change people skins tones for fun but sometimes sticking with what there is is the best.  -Add texture/patterns. I have four fabric brushes just for shading fabrics. That small texture differents really adds a pop. Also the plaid to her shirt really adds character to her. I also colored picked her clothes (if that wasn’t clear) -Overlays and such can really add put it all together. On paint tool sai you can add different overlays. I like to put one or two colors overlay on the drawing to make it look put together. If the room/environment is dark I’ll add a shade overlay on top of it to make it darker (which is what I did here). But you have to be careful to not lighten or darken to much especially with human figures. People will think you’re trying to whitewash characters and call you out for it(even if you didn’t mean too). It’s something you have to keep in mind. I normally try to make the color over the skin more transparent to skill keep the og color intact.

Don’t ask me about backgrounds because that’s my biggest weakness and I’m still learning more!  Sidenote: When I was in highschool my art teacher was always like you need to make everything into triangles uwu that’s what real artist do. uwuwuwuw So ever since then I would try to add triangles thinking that would make me legit but looking at all my old art that has triangles they all fucking suck. Circles or squares are much better for what I’ve been doing. Triangles are too awkward for backgrounds.

2009 x 2019 art challenge!

I found my old art from highschool a couple weeks ago and my intention was to do a redraw, but time flew away from me. But well, i have the same oc since 2008, so not a problem finding an older version of her.

Here's how Mairen was in 2009. It was already very different from the 2008 original concept, but man, was i bad at art xD

Some things you can see that i carried with me, like how i draw hair and also how i do the lines. But look at the proportions! The anatomy!

I grew in many ways this last decade, and my art has evolved with me. May it accompany me for all my years, and may it help me even more than it did before.

Art Growth Compilation

I really enjoy doing posts about improvement in art.

It makes me feel better about my work, especially with how busy I am these days.

I wanted to compile all the comparisons I’ve made over the years and kinda discuss the posts, for myself or others.

I thought it’d be funny to start with comparing how I first drew on a tablet, using dodge and burn tools, to how I do now which is using layers and actually painting. It’s funny to look back on that, you know?

I linked the post I made, compiling all the month to month memes from 2003-2017 that I try and do yearly. And everything else is under a cut ;w;’‘/

Most artists have done a drawing of themselves and a few Pokemon, or their team. I did that in 2010, and was dissatisfied with my work...

I took a crack again in 2013 after I’d learned to draw more animals and not be so Edgy(tm) I really liked the results. I still didn’t use references though, because I was lazy. I just didn’t want to. I still was on that boat feeling like I was CHEATING. I wasn’t being CREATIVE if I looked at references.

Artists get stuck on using reference and it’s AWFUL. USE THEM. USE TWENTY. LEARN!! It’s so HELPFUL, I wish I had started sooner.

In 2014 though -

I tried again.

I had gotten better at anatomy, but most of all, I started to work off references more. I started to really focus on not stylizing so much, but to work on actually making things look like things. I started to work on caring about COMPARISON sizes. Composition!!

While Pokemon reference sizes are -wiggle hands- and while my team changed up, I was satisfied that I could draw Arbok ACTUALLY like a cobra now, Meowth is easy given it’s just a noseless cat so to speak, Haunter is literally a triangle cloud - I was satisfied having drawn that team.

My secondary team in the new games? I was excited to draw them. It was fresh and new and FUN and it turned out PRECIOUS.

I learned better how to proportion things in an image for layout, and just... making characters feel COHESIVE in the same space.

It was a nice thing to keep visiting. I have a sketch in the works for an update even hopefully.

These pieces are kind of interesting to me too, because they’re towards the end of my era of THIN lineart?

My lineart has gone from this, and THIS,  to this.

Literally I use to not believe in line weight, I can still do thin work of course, but I’m not a fan of trying to FORCE it like I use to? Even the second link, I went from the SMALLEST brush in Sai, to using a marker brush that had barely ANY give, to a custom brush on Sai that acts like a Paint Chat brush I use to use with friends online!

That’s what I mean about style too, like you may reserve yourself about things - like not coloring black in and outlining with white, or certain ways you do things. But the growth and changing and figuring FUN ways to color that black etc is where the fun of art comes in, to me??

Learn. EXPERIMENT. PUSH!

A few months ago, I did my first redraw. Of this piece from 2012.

Six years difference.

This was interesting for a number of reasons. There’s aspects I like more in the old one, but not many. I really like the pose a bit better, but I like the casual closeness that I did in the new one because that’s more my Shepard.

But technically speaking, it’s worlds better because I took time. I paid attention to details. I did fun things instead of rushing. I took time with my coloring and didn’t SMEAR it around. I had a friend who use to complain I drew so fast and they felt so SLOW, but I love what that taught me. I started taking more time on my art, and enjoying it more since I caught more mistakes and vastly improved. By leaps and bounds.

It’s amazing what a difference six years makes in not only style, which is often a FOCUS of these things? My style has come awkwardly and naturally to me over the years of critically picking certain things apart? but I really love where it’s gotten.

I have things I want to get back to, but I love... where it is, and CAN be?

But it’s wild to me how much change happens in technical handling? It’s a hand in hand thing, you can’t focus on one or the other only, or the other suffers.

Honestly this has been my favorite improvement to notice though?

Kisame was a character I felt I should be able to draw EASILY? Not so much. Itachi? ALSO EASY. Not so much??

Kisame has weird eyes to grasp how to draw? Thus focusing on them kept making them wonky to me!! On top of that, he’s everything I’ve been use to drawing for AGES because he has a muscular body, with a smaller waist? ... that was something I was use to drawing? I still was awkward getting back into the swing of that... Drawing HIS HAIR though? NOT SO EASY....

But like, Itachi should have been easy, but I have a thing about him appearing too feminine as he gets drawn because his eyelashes, and I’ve really found a nice... medium at this point?

But even still like my face styles and eye styles are finally to a comfortable point for me? I have stopped focusing on some weird things with Itachi’s hair and just... DO IT? But even still like...

The improvement here is literally just if I don’t know how to do something, or I’m not satisfied with how I do it? I just keep at it.

It’s a theme of this post honestly... repetition, persistence.

Keep drawing it. Keep trying to figure out what it is that’s catching you off about how you do it. Don’t like how you do eyes or how they fit on the face? Look at facial structures and references and figure it out. Draw them separate and figure out how to apply them to what you are.

Remember there’s a skull in there. I draw the holes in the skull like the eye sockets, and the nose area to help my proportions for SURE.

I’ve also gotten to a nice marriage in my lineart? The piece before the recent one, those lines feel HARDER or HEAVIER? The newest piece seems...softer? Like I’m lighter handed again?

I really like critiquing my own growth on what is good or working better for me? Older pieces it looks like I’m putting lineweight for SAKE of it versus where it goes now?

INTERESTING.

Like this lineup -

My style shifts so RAPIDLY, it still is noticeably MY style to people, but parts shift so VIOLENTLY because I’m constantly picking at what I don’t LIKE.

It’s funny too in the case of Kisame and Itachi because consistently I’m drawing the SAME character over and over - can make you REALIZE how you’re doing something wrong?

Like, here’s a difference of eight years, and it’s all the brush I use now, and it REALLY shows how my style has changed - in the aspect of one point of reference?

I have a childhood favorite character too, of Daisuke, and I use to be bad at drawing boys, and I use to be SUPER bad at drawing fluffy hair?

It was something I specifically started to learn to do? And I started to draw Daisuke every few months or years for a while. Especially when I started to first REALIZE I didn’t like my style that much?

But the middle one was July 2009, top left is less than 6 months later, and the last one is about a year later. DRASTIC DIFFERENCE. But next -

This one was in 2012, when I started to do more with teeth, or first dipping my toes into anatomy. I started to focus more on HANDS too, I was super bad at them. Overall I started to focus more on making my art have...ages? Like a boy versus a man. Facial features being DIFFERENT.

I can look at this boring little bust and see that he comes off more of a teenage boy to me now. I need to work more on figuring how to draw asian features especially the eyes. Sometimes I hit the mark, other times I don’t.

but between this and 2012? Not too much has changed. I do hair fluffier now, and I angle the eyes better. The teeth not being outlined doesn’t give that weird effect where I might give him TOO MANY TEETH....

People do that and it’s easy but whoof.

So there’s still learning and adapting to do in QUICK drawings, you know? but I can still see there’s good things. That took me like 5 minutes to draw? Not bad honestly.

In it’s own bracket is original characters though too?? But also divergent of STYLE shifts because like...

OKAY. Nightmare Syndicate’s story.. started for me in 7th or 8th grade, that was when I was...14? 15? I’ve been fleshing it out for like 13 years, that’s wild haha!! I love my kids and all.

But okay so SIALI. She’s still fairly similar but I restructured her face for SURE. She’s gotten less edgy, she’s.... a teenage girl.

FELIX?? CHRIST. He’s been such a long journey!! More on that later?

Rot and even Cor?? Rot and Cor are a shorter span of development, but Rot started in Highschool so almost 10 years ago, and Cor has been fairly solid - but even just DRAWING him over three years? Go look at how much he changes.. I’m not married to concepts easily. haha!

People act like making a character you’re STUCK with it. Like Oh boy, I better make this character good, from the get go!!

I only worry about that with small potatoes like my Pillar(Gods) designs I just made for the comic?? Even still, small things will change with them I’m sure.

But not only has Felix and Siali changed, but they’ve GROWN with my style and DEFINED it even. I’ve had to adjust my style to support Felix’s look honestly a LOT. Bend my rules. Break my anatomy stickler attitude - and honestly, that’s the thing.

You have to learn the rules and anatomy BEFORE you can break them. A style built upon broken anatomy will fail you down the road if you just excuse everything with style.

Learn to draw the hands. Learn to draw the feet. Figure out the face. Bones exist. You can break the FUCK out of it once you learn how to do it, you know? Like I’ve seen so many styles I LOVE who are cartoony and BROKEN AS FUCK, but there’s still some STRUCTURE to it. Most of those people can still structure a face just fine, and the reason exaggeration works so well is because there’s like unwritten rules for what works and doesn’t based on that?

Idk.

Felix has a very elongated torso, he’s like 7′ or 8′ tall so I mean?? He’s... broken anatomy, but he’s... lanky - but his muscle is LITHE and stretched. It makes contextual sense. That’s the important part.

But even designs, it’s important to understand designs YOU make, or like... to understand they’ll CHANGE and that’s growth within your art too?

Like okay, example. Felix has a millipede inspired monster form. But with designing that? I still have to know how millipedes and SNAKES work because there's bones and vertebrae in there??

But there’s also the difference of like... CONCEPT, versus execution. You can design a fucking badass character, but understanding your own concept is SOMETHING.

I had no idea how this would play out, until I was mapping out his ‘midsection’ spikes? and man. MY STYLE WAS MADE FOR THIS CHALLENGE NOW. Which is so interesting how smooth my style has always been? Felix has defined ANGLES in it, and it’s hilarious tbh?

But even too, I’ve had to work with Felix’s monster form FACE, to break the rules to make it WORK the way I need it too?

On the anatomy subject too, like when I first got into Marvel comics 6 years ago or so? I had no idea how to do muscle structures?? I was so BAD at it.

I can look at this left image and CRINGE so badly at how NONE of those are muscles?? THOSE ARE THINGS I PERCEIVE AS MUSCLES. Like...

A course I took taught me to draw what I see, not what I know. That’s the whole point of that post that goes around about drawing a shrimp. Look it up. It’s hilarious and cute.

But it’s like, asking an artist to draw a bike, you can tell who uses reference and who WINGS it. It’s funny, but like it’s what you know versus what you see.

I started to study anatomy like crazy and was seeing improvements days at a time. The right image was done like... a month later? already I can see the muscles under the pectorals? those look normal now. the abs aren’t dough lumps under the skin in a perfect 6 pack, they’re the actual plane shapes.

I was trying to find a good reference for myself of learning to make men ‘thicker’ too in terms of the waist etc since the left is really...thin.... but...

A bit better, but even still, comparing these two - they’re 2 months apart? and I can see understanding more about arms and how they connect to the body, where the planes ACTUALLY lay for the chest and obliques and such?

I can see improvements from July 2012 up there, to - WHOOPS. I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE YEAR LMAO... TO FEBRUARY 2013...omg

I mean, I could go on and on about improvements I see, when I go through my art though? Gosh.

Like I’m seeing so SO many bad hands and feet in my old stuff, and just CRINGING because tricks I learned for myself by now?

I give so many pointers and streams and screenshares on discord still to help people with art and it cracks me up?? Like...

I dunno. I’m pretty mediocre tbh, but god damn.

[breezy-cheezy]

For the MP100 Ask meme, #10, if this Ask is the extra push you need to type that up. :p

*squints* Oh right, I remember who this is now lol thanks

MP100 Ask Meme!

10. Is there any character that you strongly identify with or understand their behavior?

Haaaaaaaahahah okay SO I already said Mob, and there’s another reason I relate to him too...y’see, I headcanon Mob has Attention Deficit Disorder...like me. I meant to make a whole post with example pics and stuff but that’s taking me forever so I’ll do it some here! Just the way he spaces out so often (ex. crouching down and hyperfocusing on a trail of ants whilst forgetting Reigen is still talking to him, orrr...the entirety of the “demon king” mini arc, with Mob constantly thinking about what he’s going to do for his school festival even while he’s taking care of some pretty “dangerous” spirits with Serizawa. There are more, that’s just off the top of my head) and the particular way he struggles in school (he’s not dumb, he just...misses information so often that he gets lost and is too shy to ask about it) really strikes a chord with me! Alot of things he does I also have done (spacing out often, hyperfocusing on certain things, talking slowly to let words catch up with the mind and hopefully say the right thing) and it’s just really interesting to see on a story protagonist! I find him relatable in alot of ways; my A.D.D. headcanon being one of the big ones ;v;

You also added later...

14. Is there any crossover other than OPM that catches your attention?

...all of you asked this X’’’D Okay so I can’t believe I never saw one of these, so i ended up thinking of a Voltron crossover myself! Thennn I mentioned it to Xi one day and many thoughts later it grew into a rather big thing! O.o Just my luck. X’’D But here, figure out who each paladin is based on a redraw of that one iconic screenshot:

Lol, that took longer to draw than I thought it would Ovo;;;; I’ll post it separately when I draw up Mob and Ritsu (the roles of Allura and Coran, respectively :P) The outfits are mainly based of canon MP100, but with color tweaks to match their paladin colors ;) (the only black clothing I’ve seen for Teru is that awful World Domination arc tracksuit of his, so I guess he’s stuck with that X’’’’’D It kinda works??) 

11. Headcanons on older (Teru, Reigen)?

Oh boy oh boy *rubs hands together* I guess I can try and throw out a few? I’mmm not that great at this but...

Teru

- He eventually grows his hair out again, long enough to easily tie in a ponytail; not to impress others, but because he himself likes it that way and likes having more styling options!

- I think he enjoys working with the awakening lab kids so much that he continues to teach...I can’t decide if it would be gathering more young espers and guiding them so they don’t make the same mistakes he did, or just a normal teaching job in general. *shrug*

- Teru just grows more confident in himself, but not for his powers; he’s made great progress in becoming a Good Person. 

- He’s still incredibly grateful to Mob for setting him on this path in the first place, and I like to think they’re still close friends as the years go by and life takes them in different directions.

Reigen

- This poor man starts greying waaaaaayyyy early X’’’D

- Sometimes scares Mob and Seri by throwing out his back or something, since he can’t be as hypermobile as he used to without hurting himself! Old habits die hard though...it once got so bad that Mob and Seri had to practically force the silly man to go to a hospital;;;;

- He got Empty Nest Syndrome really badly when Mob finally quit work and moved on... (to Highschool or college? Idk) But Mob still comes by so they can have lunch together once every one or two weeks, and they keep in contact through texts and emails so it’s not...as painful. Not to mention Serizawa still works with him and that Shou kid continues to drop in his office at random intervals, so the loneliness isn’t too crippling.

- Speaking of the little fireball, somehow Reigen ended up with unofficial custody of Shou. He’s been well informed of the kid’s family situation, however, so it’s not like he really minds.

- I also like to think that Reigen ended up friends with the 7th division Claw members, and they go out to drink occasionally. He drags Seri along most of the time for this X’’D (I just want the guy to have more friends his age too, c’mon)
