If I lay here ... would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I was sad one night and wanted to watch something fun and colorful, so I tried Fionna and Cake and really liked it! Adopting Prismo as my surrogate blorbo he is such a pal (everyone's pal, for that matter)
I've been enjoying getting to explore some new fics, which is what this was inspired by (primarily this one), and then it went kinda off-the-rails and got experimental hahaha but that's okay, I was having fun!
I think that Reigen getting so far into an online competition and having the momentum to win but losing last second is so on brand for Mob Psycho. ONE basically wrote this in season 2 (volume 9) when Reigen got famous online, thinking he was heading straight to the top when someone who he thought was going to let him continue easily just absolutely demolished him. And then the rest of the internet turned him into a meme.
Him going back a second time with the hopes of being famous enough by memes to actually succeed and failing worse is even more accurate. If someone told me this was all in an omake I would believe them. ONE would never let Reigen win anything at any point in his life.
Instead of running off to play music and summon demons, Giles and Ethan enter the world of kart racing as a duo. After accidentally causing the death of a fellow racer, Giles walks away from going pro while Ethan becomes a famous NASCAR driver.
“You know, Ashton said he only asked for my number because his friend Luke was too chicken to do it himself,” Calum says. “That’s a quote. I’m not calling you a chicken.”
“Ashton’s such a shit,” Luke says, shutting the washing machine and hitting the start button. He turns with his arms folded across his chest. Calum’s watching him curiously. “You were the star of the show,” Luke says uncomfortably. “That’d be like seeing a concert and then trying to get the lead singer’s number at the meet and greet.”
“I strongly disagree with that comparison,” Calum says, “but I see where you’re coming from. However, counterpoint: I’m clearly not a big deal since I am currently standing here waiting for someone’s laundry to be done. Do you think footie stars have to wait for other people’s laundry?”
