I wanted to redraw a page from Reigen's manga
First is my redraw second is the original manga panels and then some close ups I liked
Will be thinking about these two for the foreseeable future
From @wormspoodle’s Miss Power au!!! I tried your wordgirl design and I love it!! The second one, he’s in the meeting room with the others. I was thinking that the lights in there would be a super stale green/yellow fluorescent color like offices or the backrooms xD
Flustered Mob goes wob wob wob
Teru’s soft little smile tho my life span has extended as a result of watching it on loop
For the last time. A bear is a FAT hairy man. FAT. FAT. Say it with me because it's not a bad word. Bears are fat men. Stop showing me dehydrated and muscular hairy white men. That is not a bear. That is some generic white guy I don't want to look at. Give me real bears or give me death.
He's literally me
ritsu is so funny to me. he says shit like "I'm a completely normal middle schooler, I'm the utmost case of plain and simple" which is clearly something normal people say. he keeps a spoon in his pencil cup. and in his pocket. he got up in the middle of the night and did weird poses around the sink to try to make water float. he's a rude and judgy bitch but only in his head. when asked if he has friends, he responded with "I talk about the weather with pretty much anyone, so don't worry about me." he canonically doesn't listen to music. his brother thinks of him as his calm and collected little brother who always knows what to do, when in reality he's the most neurotic kid on the planet. he saw teru wearing a giant wig and thought "wow his brain must be so big." when he and shou first met, they beat the shit out of each other until he was knocked unconscious, and then when they met the second time, it was when shou came to his house unannounced and was like "hey do you want to help me kill my dad" and ritsu was like "okay. btw I think we have similar family trauma." he tried to zap a bug with psychic powers and then screamed for his brother's help when he couldn't get it. he used to cry as a child about spoons. his first instinct when seeing a spirit for the first time was to slam it repeatedly into his knee. he is the thirteen year old of all time.
Sometime post-series, Reigen takes Mob out for one of their semi-monthly ramen nights and the kid seems more distracted than usual. After he bends his spoon for the second time (and the ceramic ones are much more fiddly to fix), Reigen’s finally like “Okay, Mob. What’s bothering you?”
Mob: Oh. Well. I … realized that I have feelings for Hanazawa. Reigen, clapping him on the back: Hey, that’s great, Mob! Mob: But I don’t think I can tell him Reigen, immediately shifting into Business Mode: Why not? Mob: *stares wordlessly into his soup* Reigen: Now Mob, you shouldn’t be afraid of rejection! I know things got a little … hairy with Tsubomi, but in the end you handled it like a champ! Mob: No, it isn’t that. Reigen: Of course it isn’t! He’s not, uh, dating someone else, is he? Mob: No. A lot of girls have confessed to him, but he says he isn’t interested in any of them. Reigen: Well, that sounds like great news for you, right? Mob: *continues fixing his spoon* Reigen, internally: shit, is someone giving him trouble for liking boys? is he afraid of how people will react? are society’s judgements preventing him from following his dreams? Reigen: *deep breath* Reigen: *launches into a long and heartfelt speech about how it doesn’t matter what other people think of you and you should always be true to yourself and pursue what makes you happy, and being different isn’t bad, in fact it’s beautiful, and how no matter who he loves Mob will always, always have his support. By the end he’s crying a little and so are half the other people in the ramen bar* Mob: Oh. Mob: Thank you. Mob: But it’s not that either, Master. Reigen, giving up: What is it, then? Mob, wringing his hands: When you ask someone out, it’s polite to pay for their food. But Hanazawa’s appetite is so large and I don’t have a lot of money. There’s no way I can afford to date him! Reigen, suddenly haunted by the Ghost Of Restaurant Bills Past: … Ah.
(and that’s the story of how Reigen ended up sponsoring their first date)
Sending you directly to jail for this 😭/j
Evil thought. AU of your AU. The alternate universe idea. LOL. Amazo never went missing. Steven never got the mouse brain because Amazo managed to get the mind reading device off of him just in time but not enough time to let go himself. Just how guilty would Steven feel?
OOOOOOHHH that's SO evil xD I love it!! I'm gonna write for the next chapter rn but I'm DEFINITELY gonna try to draw this somehow during a break hehehe that's so evil
Here's a written version of how I think it'd go in fanfic form hehe (tw of course, uh, science gone wrong?):
He gently knocked on the frosted glass of the door. "Stevie?" He reached into the pocket of his leather vest and pulled out a key. With a swift turn, he unlocked the heavy door and stepped inside.
The dark ceiling loomed over him, beeping lights trailed up the pipes on the brick walls, and tables were dumped with tools and spare parts.
He heard two heartbeats... Both pounding and... he smelled adrenaline? Who was the second person?
With a deep breath, he blasted into the testing chamber, nearly blowing the door off its hinges.
He looked to what looked like a massive control panel.
A mouse...?
"Steven?" He called out.
"Adam? What are you doing here?" He called out from the hall.
"What's going on? You're nervous about something." He called back.
Steven emerged from the dimly lit hallway with a sandwich. "It's not that I'm nervous... I just... I just hope this works."
Adam shot him a weird look. "You're not trying that brain experiment, right? You said you'd wait for your paper to finish being peer-reviewed." He frowned.
"I-I know. It's taking so much longer than I thought and I know this is going to work. Everything is set up and I'm sure I'm about to be the first person in all of history to have direct communication with a mouse." He grinned.
"You don't know that."
"Yes, I do. I've run every test I could think of and almost everything is set! Though, I really shouldn't leave him there on the control panel for too long. He might press the wrong button."
Adam looked over to the panel, watching as the little hand lowered onto a big red button.
Why does that button say-
Adam dashed and ripped off Steven's helmet. The machine overloaded and sparks flew into the air. What felt like a million jolts of power surged through him. He screamed and felt his hands tighten around the helmet.
"ADAM!"
The lights flickered. He felt his head spinning. One last firey jolt of power blasted them to the ground.
The room fell to complete darkness.
Steven fumbled with the flashlight in his pocket and tried to keep his hand steady. The light from his hand shook intensely as he tried to stand up again after who knew how long.
"Adam?!" He tore the fried helmet out of Adam's hands and threw it aside.
His best friend, the person he loved most in the world, lay sprawled on the tiled floor, nearly unmoving. His labored breaths and small groans filled the silence left from the machine hums and beeps ceasing. Steven set the flashlight on the ground.
"Please, please-"
He looked up at his hair.
What?- Why is this part white??
He reached up to the tuft of hair that was swooped back. He took a shaky breath and tried to focus.
Adam's eyes struggled to stay open.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry- I didn't mean to- I should've waited. I should've waited like you said." Steven pleaded, almost trying to convince himself that he wasn't the type of person to nearly kill his fiance in a very preventable untested experiment.
"Steven...?" His voice, raspy from his screams, barely carried to Steven's ears.
"I'm here, I'm here." He took another shaky deep breath. "I'm sorry, Adam." His breath hitched in his throat, turning into hiccups.
AND SCENE </3
Okay, bc I totally rushed this, lemme ramble coherently!
So in this au of my au (lol), Adam doesn't get the mouse brain bc he wasn't wearing the helmet but parts of Squeaky did merge with him, giving him a bit of white hair. I think Amazo is much stronger and able to resist a lot more of the transformation both bc he's a highly trained superhero and bc he wasn't actually wearing the helmet. Squeaky does die from this experiement and that's a death Steven takes very hard. He was electrocuted which is such a painful way to go.
Amazo doesn't get a new personality but he does blur the line between what's justice and what's going too far. His sense of justice is completely skewed after this and Steven tries to help but is met with incredibly hostile rejections every time. This splits them apart because there is no clear indication of who Amazo is and Squeaky's influence from the grave.
Steven looses himself anyway (just like in canon) and he dedicates his life to trying to stop Amazo and bring back the Adam he knew and loved. He does get hurt trying to stop him and this universe's WordGirl struggles to stop him as well. They try teaming up but Steven is too far gone with guilt and shame. He can't focus and becomes very unstable while Amazo ruins his own legacy within the city and among his loved ones.
This is the worst timeline because nothing is reversible :)
the genius of mob psycho 100 is that its simultaneously the most goofy and most realistic shonen anime you're watching at any given time
THIS IS SO GOD DAMN REAL I GOTTA DRAW IT
i dont think mob will ever get taller than reigen bc he is a short king in my heart but i think ritsu would and he would get so excited about it like popping champagne bottles and crying and patting himself on the back and he’d go into spirits and such just to stick it to him and reigen would just not care at all. like he’d be like “wow haha hey mob’s brother it’s rare for you to drop by” and ritsu totally thinks he’s owning him by being 5′11 but reigen’s just like “shit what was this kids name again?????”
