he tries to play it sooo cool lmao.
im still figuring out how i wanna draw the mob cycle characters, but as always i will be drawing whatever i want ^_^
bonus:
I really liked how this one turned out, so I'll indulge myself in some rambling hehe
First of all, I was thinking about making a normal cake, but Teru seems to deserve more than JUST a cake... Then I had the BRILLIANT idea of making a Swiss roll, which is still a great dessert but stands out for the occasion (birthday, I mean) !
So for more details on this sweet, it has chocolate dough, the filling (orange part) It's filled with passion fruit, it's citrusy but sweet, and the little pieces of fruit in the middle are mango !! Let's say that the whipped cream and cherry on top were Teruki's own whim, but come on, he deserves it !!!

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.
Reference was from this Elle magazine:

☆ Day 4 : hairstyle or pets
Prompt list :
☆ Day 3 : found family or fever
Alternative versions/prompt list:
THIS ONE NOW!
I LOVED making this one! It seriously got me out of the artblock abyss SO fast urghh
I think the clothes already give it away but the design is based on the fight against Shimazaki n s2! I love that fight, so when I thought about portraying Teru's side in it I got a little carried away by the thought that he's practically my age and was saving the world from self-centered terrorists
I wanted a scared, afraid, terrified Teruki... That's what I wanted to portray, the FEAR of losing and knowing (or maybe not) the consequences of his failure! It was tense, and he couldn't win alone (in fact I think that deep down, deep down he was never content with not having killed that blind man).
So if at any point you expressed that you liked the expressiveness or movement or anything like that in the drawing, THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know because it makes me happy that the message got across ^^
End of the lecture, thanks for reading hehehe (^^)
☆ Day 2 : hobby or fight
Prompt list :
Can I babble on about this one a little?Ok let's go
So, finding the pose wasn't difficult at all, the reference appeared on my feed and I said, THERE IT IS! This is going to be my Teru!
So I sketched the pose and started sketching out the face, I didn't stipulate his age but you can see in the drawing that he's not THAT old, maybe in his early 20s?
For the style (which was the most fun part) I wanted to keep the essence of Teruki Hanazawa that we already know! But looking for something more realistic I have to admit that I was STRONGLY inspired by David Bowie's looks and clothes!! Every outfit I saw in the photos reminded me of Teru, I think it was a sign LOL
You can see how he seems to be talking, and it's no wonder! I imagined him on some kind of talk show while I was drawing him, but he doesn't necessarily have to be on one, IDK if I would like a famous Teruki, no... doesn't sound very HIM to me...
But of all the ideas I could have for this boy's profession in the future, the one that I love the most (as ooc as it may seem) is costume designer!!!
Imagine how adorable he would be dressing people in plays or musicals! Or even movies!! He would definitely form a LOT of partnerships with drag queens to put together their looks like... Look at HIMM !!!!!! I need to see him do this one day, even if it's in a dream, but I need it! It sounds so TERUKI to me it's almost stupid ... !!
Ok,end of the chatter! Thanks for reading this far ^^

Oh marcille, they could never make me hate you ☺️ your my favorite little lesbian
If you guys like jazz, bossa nova, folk music and even progressive rock AND are interested in listening to more Latin American/Black artists, I can't recommend Milton Nascimento's music more. His instrumentals are magnificent. His lyrics are extremely beautiful. He has one of the most breathtaking voices I have ever heard. AMAZING stuff, trust me.

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.
!!! HII !!!
Oh pls forgive me for just... DISAPPEARING! If only I could tell you guys everything that's been happening lately!
I'll leave this WIP here as a reminder that I'm still here, I'm still an artist and that I need to finish this sooner or later!! I promise I'm trying hard to post again! It's just that you can't have a good academic, social and artistic life at the same time, one of them needs to be sacrificed O_o
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
It was the same thing with Pinterest a while back, seriously Tumblr? I trusted u :,-)
why does tumblr have reels now
why does every app need to have a tiktok feature
I dont come to tumblr for videos, I come to tumblr to see my mutuals post gay shit from things I don't even care about
hello!! i just saw your post about teru’s character arc and dynamic w/ mob and was blown away - i never EVER noticed the heart eye panel. i was curious if you had a deep character analysis of teru/would be willing to share your opinions on teru’s arc? at risk of sounding completely media illiterate i feel like most of teru’s arc went completely over my head watching the anime and i would be curious to hear your thoughts (if you would like to share)!
oh it's totally not your fault, a lot of teru's arc was already pretty subtextual in the manga and the anime cuts a lot of the small details that give you the context to put the whole thing together
im gonna put my own interpretation of his arc under the cut because i could literally talk about this kid for years
ok so basically, teru's starting point as a character is "im special and important because of my powers because i have to be special and important or my life is empty and meaningless"
the entire construction of his social life; his overachieving in sports, his popularity, his place as the shadow leader of a middle school gang- all of that exists to prop himself up as the main character of the world and distract himself from how crushingly empty and devoid of connections his life is. hence-
this fight is what dismantles the idea that his powers make him uniquely special and enlightened, but it doesnt really do anything to actually built an internal sense of self confidence. his realization that he is an ordinary person doesnt come with "and that's okay because everyone is", it's just a reshuffle of the heirarchy he has viewed the world as. now instead of himself > everyone, it's mob > himself > everyone.
the fact that he knows special powers don't make him special is his new point of false confidence- he isnt uniquely enlightened because he has special powers, he's uniquely enlightened because he knows those powers don't make him special
and while the 7th division arc serves some challenging of this worldview, it's not really until wd arc that it actually gets dismantled.
to...
BUT this isnt the end of it. teru's notion that he is uniquely special and important has, by this point, been thoroughly dismantled. however....
other people....
by necessity no growth can really occur within broccoli arc for anyone but mob and dimple. since everyones memories of this arc get wiped, it serves as a good setup for where everyone's characters arcs are left to go before we get into confession arc. teru has been left in a place where, while his place in the "special and important people" hierarchy has been dropped, this has left mob at the top of an unreachable pedestal. dimple's prior efforts to convert teru through force, with the cookies and insisting himself as god, were fruitless. being controlled like that only made him angry. it was only through teru's idolization of mob that he was able to replace himself in that already existing spot in teru's psyche
so going into confession arc, teru has this unshakable, almost literally godlike image of mob in his head, which leads him to the same mistake so many people in this arc have to work through.
this isnt him. he's perfect. he doesn't make mistakes. he would never lash out and hurt anyone. he would never-
once civilians are in the picture is the moment it clicks for him. and then we get this wonderful mirror that kills me to think about.
so many of the parallels in these fights (which. i dont feel like finding all of them) culminate in this. because ultimately, they are very similar conflicts. both represent the dissolution of their respective personas. confession arc is a crossroads in mob's brain: to spend the rest of his life restraining his powers and- by extension, his identity- for the sake of other people, or to let his powers run wild and push away all these people whom he sees as only liking the fake him ("mob").
the breaking point, murderous intent, the point at which this fight goes from simply trying to push the other way/push the other into fighting back, is the assertion of the other's normalness. teru pushes back with the violence of a commoner, mob pushes back with violence that can only be exerted by an esper. teru cannot accept his powers do not make him uniquely amazing, mob cannot accept his do not make him uniquely horrible- uniquely despicable- uniquely unlovable.
which brings us to heart eye panel.
because this is the moment that teru sees mob for who he truly is- for a human being with flaws who's capable of having ugly emotions and losing control and lashing out- and still loves him.
and through this teru, despite his uglier emotions, despite whatever he's done in the past, is a person who is capable of being loved. he doesnt need to be the best esper or the best at sports or the best in his class to stand out, to be paid attention, to form genuine connections.
the people close to you will love you despite your flaws, will understand when you're going through hard times, will offer support even when you push them away. they dont just love the perfect image of you you try to present, the non confrontational person who doesnt speak out for themselves, or the overachiever who's always good at everything. they love you.
