Hi! I love all your MP100 metas. Truly amazing! Here is a popular take on mob which I noticed quite common in eastern fandom but not brought up much in western: shigeo actually has very strong ego, in a way that he only allows himself to be affected by words he wants to follow, sticks to his wants without giving in to others' wishes, and sometimes breaking others' worldview (teru) or challenging (ritsu, dimple, reigen) simply by following his own will, which relates to ??? . What do you think?

*blushes* THANK YOU AAAAAHHHHHH

i agree with you! shigeo himself is not even aware of his own strength in that regard for much of the story; watching him become more comfortable with his own iconoclasm is one of the things i enjoy most about mob psycho 100. i think shigeo's strong will and (mostly) unshakeable principles are maybe not mentioned as much in western fandom because shigeo is pretty far from the western--i'm just gonna say american here, because it's the perspective i'm best acquainted with--ideal for a young male protagonist.

we tend to prefer at least some degree of blustery, extroverted self-confidence in our heroes; soft-spoken, sad, traumatized kids who seem unsure of themselves don't fly here unless their character development involves 'outgrowing' this. shigeo is understated, and quiet, and downbeat, and kind of sickly even after gaining stamina. he also doesn't trust himself or his own perceptions for quite a while, and i've read more than a few reviews of MP100 in which these qualities made it easy for the authors to discount him as a whole. if a viewer finds him 'boring' or can't relate to him at all, they won't bother to stick around for his steely tenacity or his surprising resistance to groupthink.

despite his apparent 'weakness', he doesn't give in easily, doesn't bend even if his life is at stake, and even manages to persuade others or change their hearts in his own quiet way, simply by being himself. and his strong ego, as you put it (i would actually say his id, if we're going freudian with this) actually SAVES HIS LIFE. repeatedly. that and ???% are one and the same.

i live in a country where quiet people are routinely overlooked because they're not boldly proclaiming their greatness to everyone they meet; to me, shigeo is a reminder that i don't have to compromise who i am to have a successful life. and that is a powerful message to hear at any age.

We all should start collectively talking about Rick Rossovich like a group of young girls at a sleepover, legs up in the air, giggling into the plush pillow like no reason, clad in cute pajamas, staring at the phone screen, blushing as we share the photos of one of the most beautiful actors to ever have played so many perfect cinematic renditions of himbos and DILFs

Gentle Kisses - Choso Kamo

summary: cuddles and kisses with this cutie warnings: none, fluff, established relationship

The afternoon sunlight bathed the room in a golden glow, painting everything in warm hues as you and Choso lounged together on the plush couch. The day had been a flurry of activity, the two of you hanging out with Yuju in Tokyo, but now, in each other's presence, time seemed to slow down, allowing you both to savour every moment.

You nestled closer to Choso, his body heat providing you with a sense of safety that you had never felt before meeting him. His fingers idly traced patterns on your arm, sending tingles of warmth dancing across your skin. You could feel the weight of his gaze on you, soft and tender, "What are you looking at?" you giggled softly, looking up at you boyfriend lovingly. He was silently admiring every curve and contour of your face, warmth flourishing through him as he looked at the person he loved more than anyone.

With a playful grin, Choso's fingertip danced lightly over your lips, eliciting a soft giggle from you. His touch was feather-light, yet it sent a jolt of electricity coursing through you, igniting a fire that burned brightly within your chest. You couldn't help but lean into his touch, craving the closeness and connection that only he could provide.

The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you in your own little bubble of intimacy. Choso's touch was the only thing that mattered, his presence filling your senses with a heady mix of desire and affection. Every stroke of his fingertip sent shivers down your spine, drawing you closer to him with an irresistible magnetic pull.

As his touch lingered on your lips, you felt a surge of longing welling up inside you, a desperate yearning for the taste of his kiss. With a gentle sigh, you tilted your chin towards him, silently urging him to close the distance between you. Choso's eyes sparkled with a mixture of tenderness and desire as he met your gaze, his lips curving into a soft smile.

Without hesitation, he leaned in, his lips capturing yours in a tender kiss that spoke volumes of his love and devotion. The world fell away around you, leaving only the sensation of his lips against yours, warm and inviting. It was a moment of pure bliss, a fleeting yet eternal connection that transcended time and space.

As you pulled away, breathless and exhilarated, Choso's gaze locked with yours, his eyes filled with an intensity that took your breath away. "I love you, my sweet girl" he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper as he brushed his thumb across your cheek.

"I love you too," you replied, your heart overflowing with love for the man who had captured your heart. In that moment, surrounded by love and warmth, you knew that you had found your home in Choso's arms, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

the father, the son, the end of the world (x)

[ID: two digital drawings of three iterations of kiryu kazuma that are intertwined in a downwards sequence. the background is a night sky with two framing clouds, and city lights, moon backlightning the three figures. the colors are tinted blue, and the image is held in a frame that is transparent on the outer part.

on top, kiryu is shown in his yakuza 3 okinawa outfit, in the middle in his yakuza 0 pinstrip suit and at the bottom, in a black shirt as he appears in infinite wealth.

y3 kiryu curls his right arm around y0 kiryu's neck, hand in a fist, his right hand comfortably lying on top of lad8 kiryu's head. his expression is a deep frown, as he stares at the audience.

y0 kiryu is turned to the left side of the image, as if running away, his left arm resting over y3's left forearm, hand slightly curled into a fist. his right arm curls forward over lad8 kiryu's shoulder protectively, palm held upwards. he is frowning at something off-frame, mouth slightly open.

lad8 kiryu has his right hand in a fist over his stomach and the left one reaching up to hold y0's left forearm. his expression is blank, as he stares at nothing, mouth slightly agape.

The second image is the same, only slightly less dark for visibility. /End ID.]

So MHA´s ending makes sense even if is not a good ending

So, I saw a youtuber (Brazilian one) and his ideas are more or less what I´m saying. The ending makes sense: The whole individuality became collective ("I can be the biggest hero" "We can be the biggest hero") and I get the feeling Hori WAS trying to put in the story, I do. The execution is poor bc the author forget about his own MC.

The one constant of the manga is how Izu is always suffering...always.

And we do have a right to see an issue with that, hell, narratively, what´s the point of Midoriya thinking he is useless from chap 1 till the end?

But it makes me wonder now...Is the Izuku a reflection of the Japanese boy out of the Japanese patterns of normalcy? I know someone will scream "LoV" but LoV is something different... The bullying there is ...horrible, and not always the victim get any justice, the word is enduring.

A kid like Izuku WAS set to fail in his mission ALONE.

Yes, we can make fics where he is OP. Or he has friends(good friends, mind you bc no matter what anyone says...A1 are fake friends in canon) or money...won´t change how in canon, Izuku was doomed to fail alone.

Is that intentional on Hori´s part or he just hates Izu? We don´t know...his writing shows he doesn´t like Izu and prefers BK (smth Brazilian critics can pick up, but maybe is just Hori being incompetent)

It´s a cyclical ending, in a way, bc Izu starts the journey not being able to be a hero bc he has no quirk...until he meets AM (a lucky chance) and ends with him being a hero again bc AM (plus his damn abuser and A1, supposedly...some translations don´t say if they helped, some say they did but BK and AM helped the most) with a suit keep in secret from Izu was in the make for 8 years.

Why this has to be a secret?

Why everyone was so damn busy to talk to him? Are all of them working extra time to get him a suit?

What if Izu didn´t want a suit?

What do Izu think of AM suit?

Is Izu a well-liked teacher?

What do Izu teach to the kids?

Why we couldn´t see Izu happy in his job?

Why does he feel alone?

I know Hori wanted to end this manga ASAP, not blaming him as making a manga IS hell, but he could have ended this with a happy Izu (one that looks an adult, same for A1 and I don´t like them)

The manga does make sense, I swear but it´s smth linked to the first chapter...Izu is not treated well, he feels useless without a quirk (no quirkless discrimination ever happened, only Izu abuse) and only gets to be a hero bc AM (a lucky chance one in a million) happened to him. He didn´t earn anything.

And all his efforts aren´t recognized. Like, he cleaned a beach for 10 months.....NO ONE SAYS A WORD.

OFC the ending would be like that. If Izu gets nothing for his deeds on chap 1, why the ending would be rewarding for him or for us?

can you draw about human kaijus please and thanks

i'm sorry friend... I appreciate that you still like my old kaiju art, and I will probably return to the godzilla fandom someday, but today is not that day.

I'm very deep into a rain world hyperfixation right now, and to be honest, i'm actively trying NOT to let the 'godzilla' and 'rain world' beams cross in my brain too much. i havent even watched godzilla x kong: the new empire yet, because I already know it would just fuel my current brainrot. I'd end up making a whole new AU based on it. i'd write essays about all the thematic parallels. i'd write a thesis paper deciphering what mothra's symbol means in the language of the ancients. i'd redraw every stupid kongzilla meme that pops up on google images. i'd unlock a level of autism this world is not prepared to contain.

like please im already struggling with every fibre of my being not to redraw this fucking thing:

im fihgting for my life
