Day 2: Spirit Or Space

might be just me but I find it kinda hilarious how Teru like. visibly and audibly goes heart-eyes when Mob is around. every time he sees him he has to say hi and start walking with him. he compliments him and gives him positive affirmation constantly. he drops everything no matter what to give Mob a hand or some good advice. like

oh my godd stop looking at Mob with love and affection in your eyes and a gentle hand on his shoulder while afternoon sunlight illuminates your face they're gonna think you're gay

Day 2 - Spirit and Space

Click for better quality, I decided to make all my terumob week art wide for some reason because ???

Beautiful massive spirit Shigeo my beloved. Teru giving his spirit boyfriend a kiss~

Closeup because I love them so much. And it looks better close up:

Prompts below the cut:

Personally? I refuse to get over the fact that Monkey D. Luffy, one of the most fearless, reckless, tough, impulsive, fight-happy, determined, rough, hopeful characters I have ever seen in fiction, does not have a fight reflex when he is legitimately afraid.

He has a freeze reflex.

You know how few protagonists have a freeze reflex?

You know how many One Piece characters have a fight reflex? It's probably most of them (Ace, Zoro, and Kid are pretty notable examples). And after that, flight is probably next (Usopp, Nami, etc).

But Luffy has a freeze reflex. Consistently. Sure, he's learned to push through it, to snap out of it, but when he's really truly scared? It's like he's seven and helpless all over again, and he can't move. Just for a second.

Happy easter, have some digital eggs painted lol :D

remembered this morning that mp100 takes place in 2012 so these are the social media sites some of the characters are active on

Reigen: canonically a facebook and twitter user

Mob: he has a facebook account. he accepts any friend request from anyone he recognises. his parents are concerned that he’s friends with so many adults that they don’t know

Ritsu: tumblr user. he also has a facebook. rarely uses either but posts a lot when he is active

Teru: again probably has facebook. he’s one of the only characters with a smartphone i think so he probably has an instagram too. after his character development he has a tumblr too because that’s the social media site he associates most with commoners. is unknowingly mutuals with ritsu. occasionally he’ll post a take so bad ritsu has to break his month long hiatus to vaguepost about him. teru doesn’t realise these are about him because he assumes all his opinions are correct and will give ritsu a response about how some people are just stupid, further angering him. ritsu has never once considered blocking teru

Tome: tumblr user. runs a pretty popular blog. also has a twitter account posting similar things to people who don’t care as much

Shou: doesn’t have any online presence because his dad is a terrorist

My part of the mp100 secret spirit exchange for @bizarre-blues ! They asked for flustered TeruMob I am here to deliver @mp100secretspirit

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.

Teruki week Day 5: Fashion

I have wanted to draw Teru wearing some peak Tokyo street fashion for awhile and found an amazing ref with a mustard suit and white boots and I knew IT WAS THE ONE.

Teru would be a man of fine suits. I also keep putting him in a mustard suits. I did that in my ageswap fic. I just think he would look fire.

Most fashionable man alive.

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.
