gotta love how ONE made reigen respect women so hard. like some guy was creeping on his female neighbor. PUT HIS ASS DOWN. he tells mob people who hit women are losers. HELL YEAH!! its just amazing and going back to the person who was creeping on his female neighbor. im so glad that that moment was taken seriously and not just for laughs like it would be in most anime. like they actually made that moment creepy instead of some weird ass fan service and i love it.
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

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.

It's so fun when people give characters nicknames based on their own language, and it gets even more apparent in genderbends
Mob POV terumob fanfiction: Hanazawa-kun is so cool and nice and handsome... do I like him? 😳 But does he like boys too? How should I tell him? 😖
Teruki POV terumob fanfiction:
I've had so many terumob thoughts lately. I have had this story in my head for over a year and part of me wants to sit down and blast it out and the other is just not quite sure how to start it yet.
But i have been noodling on the not great Terumob moments. The arguments, the struggles, the "Teru still slips into worship phases" that causes tension and discomfort.
The moving in together moments that are no so pretty.
Teru who has lived alone for most of his formative years is suddenly living again with another person.
Shigeo who still struggles to be his whole self (because he will always have ups and downs) who doesn't always read the room and misunderstands queues from Teru. No fault of his own. But Teru gets frustrated and annoyed. Because that's just how humans are. We get upset at the ones we love sometimes over things that we love them for.
Of Shigeo leaving the dishes uncleaned because he just didn't notice.
Of Teru staying out late and not telling Shigeo because he never had to tell someone where he was because no one ever cared. And Shigeo feeling hurt.
Of Shigeo getting frustrated over small things and making the whole apartment shake. And Teru loves him for being himself but he also has a massive headache from making poor choices the day before and now is upset.
Of Teru doing everything because he has ALWAYS done everything and not communicating what he wants.
Teru not understanding the unsaid family relationship Shiego has with his parents. The things no one says but they all do that he, in all his observance, can't always figure out.
I'm rambling
But I just love exploring their relationship as adults. I want more of this. I need to write this. One day one day
After I write the like, 10 other things I have in my WIPs
how long do you think it took for reigen to learn mob's name is shigeo

For me the peak human Dimple design is one in which he is a bald buff 50 year old guy. Basically a reskin of his original form. Some old man you would see in a bar. A guy that slumps against the sofa and SNORES after the first minutes of a movie but on the moment you turn off the TV he claims that 'he was still watching'. Loveable morally gray antagonist in a 2000s animated movie.
This drawing is one of the few that I liked the result of, which is very rare. I will probably draw emo Shigeo more often ^^
Thinking about how "You really are amazing!" from Teru to Mob in the broccoli fight is about disconnect. About Mob succeeding where Teru failed (giving Teru yet another reason to idolize him). He views Mob as incorruptible, so there will always be an uncrossable distance between them.
But then "You really are amazing" from Dimple to Mob at the end of divine tree is about connection! It's about understanding! He gets Mob more in that scene than he ever has before bc his godly powers gave them a shared experience. He knows Mob is fallable and as a result knows how hard he's working not to fail, and Dimple's desire to emulate that work for Mob's sake gives the scene such a gentle intimacy.
The admiration isn't the problem. The problem is that at this point Teru sees Mob as a deific figure, while Dimple sees Mob as a friend.
mob psycho feels so beautifully queer to me. like i know it wasn't really written that way but i find the dynamic in fandom between gay adults helping raise gay kids to be so comforting. maybe it's just because i have barely had any experiences with older queer people, but seeing it in media always has me mesmerized. i finished watching dungeon meshi a while ago but what really stood out to me is the pure representation of care between everyone involved. it doesn't mean that there isn't conflict, but that all of the characters have specific and interesting reasons for why their dynamic works and how they care for each other. i feel like that same sentiment is carried by mob psycho and i love it sm.
i love when terumob makes a guest appearance in a ritshou fic because most of the time its like they descend from the heavens as the older, more mature couple to bestow advice to the poor foolish children. while in every terumob fic ever theyre the most romantically inept fools ever who cant catch a break at all
RitShou Fanart for our favorite redhead's birthday ^^
(This is my first time drawing a kiss that turned out well, so I'm really glad THEY were the ones who made it work)
