closed starter for @prcttyvxnom ( akio )
location: the morning squeeze
"Aki!" Marcel called out waving the other over to the table he'd booked, a green juice sitting in wait for the other whilst Marcel sat with his iced coffee with extra caramel. "I took the liberty of ordering on your behalf, as I need my players to be in tip top shape for next week's game. It's gonna taste nasty as hell, but it'll show your commitment to us."

I dont think Mob is naive as much as he's socially unaware, like the reason why he trusts Reigen so blindly is a bit more complex than just him being naive
Cause Mob reached out to Reigen because he was desperate to find someone like him, someone who understood his psychic specific issues, someone that could truly know what he's feeling and going through and give him guidance and support
Post incident Mob's thinking process was something along the lines of my powers hurt people -> my powers are bad -> my powers (my emotions, my instincts, myself) cannot be trusted
So he lost all confidence and trust in his own actions, resigning to being as passive as possible to avoid any further damage to anyone else, thus he started doubting his own perception of reality too
He's a kid already struggling with being ostracised for being socially inept, who just got traumatised and all of his insecurity increased by the tenfold, he doesn't know how to process what he's going through. He needs help.
And here comes Reigen, seemingly reliable, a responsible adult in a child's eyes, someone who claims he can understand him
Even tho Reigen doesnt. But it doesn't matter, because Mob finds comfort in his words and takes them to heart
Even if Reigen doesn't fully get it, even if he doesn't see the bigger picture, even if his advice isn't always the best
Eventually, Mob grows up, realises Reigen isn't as honest as he seemed through his 11 year old perspective, but like most things, he refuses to acknowledge it on a deeper level
Mob knows, but never tells Reigen, never thinks about what all those lies mean to him (ofc until he forces himself to face those doubts regarding Reigen, to properly acknowledge both of their flaws and accept them as they are, I should scream into the void about Confession Arc more God)
Due to his lack of trust in himself, Mob has relied on Reigen for years now to shape his moral compass, his thoughts, his decisions
Because well, Reigen lies, sure, but he isnt a bad person. When he hurts Mob, it isn't intentional or with ill intent, he still wants the best for him, what's the issue?
Except that it stunts Mob's growth. He doesn't develop as a person, doesn't have goals or wishes or ambitions, can't make choices on his own, he doesn't even let himself acknowledge his own emotions, he refuses to let himself exist
But Mob realises in time that he wants more than that, he wants to become better and be independent and feel again
Still, he puts the acknowledgement of the lies on hold for as long as he can, unwilling to question the way things are
This can make him feel a little naive, he constantly relies on Reigen and trusts his decisions and raises questions rarely until separation arc when he finally puts his foot down
And I do think that moment is the most resounding proof we have that Mob knows and allows himself to be used by Reigen, not wanting to shake the status quo, until he gets fed up
I mentioned the social ineptitude at the beggining but idk if I should even elaborate on that, you've watched the show, you know what I mean
He's blunt and can't read social cues or tonality that well and can't speak in front of crowds and is overall pretty awkward and I do think some people conflate that with naivety
Mob is still a child, he doesnt fully understand how the world works at the ripe age of 14 years old, but some folks take that as him being inherently naive/innocent/whatever which I don't find true

Xander & Soleil Father-Daughter Support
tried my hand at what i'd imagine their in-game support would be c: accompanying fanart here!
C-SUPPORT:
Soleil: *Sigh*
Xander: …
Soleil: …
Soleil: *SIGH*
Xander: Is it really so much to ask that you focus, Soleil?
Soleil: But this is boring! There’s way too much to do.
Xander: Perhaps if you would participate in your duties as a princess rather than flirt with the women in town, you’d have more time on your hands.
Soleil: Humph. I still don’t get why I had to get locked in here with you. You could’ve at least given me a pretty tutor!
Xander: On the contrary, this method has brought me success before.
Xander: I dealt with your father’s philandering in precisely this way, and he stopped toying with the feelings of women all together.
Soleil: You know why he stopped flirting with girls? You got MARRIED, Papa!
Xander: Study.
Soleil: Ugh. Fine.
Xander: …
Soleil: …
Soleil: You’re looking sleepy.
Xander: I’m not.
Xander: You won’t be getting out of this early. I won’t leave until you’re finished.
Soleil: Yeah, because you’ll fall asleep and it’ll take me all night…
Xander: And what was that?
Soleil: Nothing! Just working.
Xander: …
Soleil: …
Xander: … … …
Xander: Zzz…
Soleil: Oh wow. He’s actually asleep.
Soleil: I don’t wanna wake him up. I guess I could leave now!
Soleil: Though… I might need a nap, too. My eyes seriously hurt after staring at all this.
Soleil: Hmm…
Soleil: …Zzz…
B-SUPPORT:
Soleil: Papa!
Xander: Hello, you.
Soleil: Hi! Listen, I have big, big news!
Xander: Oh? And what’s that?
Soleil: I’m getting married!
Xander: You’re what?
Soleil: Yup! Isn’t that something?
Xander: I… To who?
Soleil: Who? Oh, well. It’s a… Secret. She’s really shy.
Xander: …Is that so.
Soleil: Uh huh. So, um, anyway. You don’t need to keep tabs on me anymore, because I’m gonna be completely faithful. Just like Dad, heh!
Xander: Ah. Of course.
Xander: Though, Soleil. You understand, as you’re a princess, that there is a certain procedure which must be undergone when it comes to marriage.
Soleil: Huh?
Xander: It isn’t something as simple as putting a ring on a finger, it’s a royal affair.
Xander: You must introduce her to our family formally, as well as engage her in the courtship process—there’s etiquette to be learned, and we’ll have to make completely certain she doesn’t intend you any harm.
Xander: Not just anyone can marry a princess, you know.
Soleil: Oh.
Soleil: Um. Okay. Yeah, okay.
Soleil: I’ll… Introduce you to her. Sometime soon.
Xander: Thank you. We’ll be expecting her.
Soleil: …Okay. I’ll, uh, go tell her! Bye!
Xander: Goodbye.
Xander: …
Xander: ...That girl.
A-SUPPORT:
Soleil: …Hi, Papa.
Xander: Soleil, what’s that expression for?
Soleil: I, um. I need to confess something.
Soleil: There’s no girl, I’m not getting married. I just didn’t want you to know I was out flirting again.
Soleil: It was all a ruse. I’m really sorry I lied, I probably got everyone so excited.
Xander: Soleil…
Xander: Thank you for telling me.
Xander: Though you don’t need to worry, I didn’t tell anyone. I knew from the beginning that you weren’t really engaged.
Soleil: Oh, man. Was I that obvious?
Soleil: …So I’m in huge trouble now, huh?
Xander: It’s true that your actions aren’t exactly becoming of a princess. But I would like to clarify something with you.
Xander: I’m not particularly upset that you’re flirting. But I’ll be strict with you if it gets in the way of your duties, as it has been.
Xander: It was just the same with your father—he was causing trouble, and I felt I needed to step in to prevent it.
Xander: You don’t need to lie to me. If you’d like to to spend your free time with girls, you’re welcome to. But it mustn’t continue to hinder your learnings and responsibilities as a princess of Nohr.
Soleil: Oh.
Soleil: Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. I really thought you were going to be angry with me.
Xander: No. I only want you to understand.
Soleil: I think I get it. No, I KNOW I do.
Soleil: I admit that I was putting things off for a little too long.
Soleil: I’ll do better, I promise. I’ll devote more time to my princess things.
Xander: I’m glad to hear it. And thank you for being honest with me.
Soleil: I’ll make sure I tell you when I really get married, okay?
Xander: Alright. But not too soon.
Soleil: Well of course not, Papa! I haven’t met all the women in the world yet!

Are you a non-sharing, selective o sharing Jack/Idia yume?
Hi, I'm selective sharing with Jack and sharing with Idia! tbh I only touch my Idia yume like.... twice per year
I have more intense personal feelings towards Jack which regrettably makes me more selective about the content I want to see (sometimes I'm cool and sometimes I block based on vibes) but I do wholeheartely support AND encourage people to love Jack Howl! l don't want anyone to feel discouraged to yume with him, he's already so overshadowed and forgotten in favour of the other popular characters, he NEEDS more love!!!
