woah this character is so cool i wish they were covered in blood their whole body trembling with a look of absolute horror on their face as theyre struggling to breathe in panic

a little personal response / tribute to "here's the life i've always longed for" by Anna Haifisch. the original means so much to me, and even though it's hard, I feel like every day i'm making more steps toward finally being on the other side of that fence <:)

infuriating that it's been 15+ years and so many people still get Roy killing Lust wrong

"it's ironic that Lust was killed by a womanizer" "Lust was killed by a man who lusted after power" NO! Lust was killed by a man who did it because of love.

It's ironic that she was killed by a man who uses his (false!) public reputation as a womanizer to conceal the fact that he is one of the most steadfastly loyal people in Amestris. It's ironic she was killed by someone whose entire motivation revolved around gaining the power to help others. It's ironic that he killed her for threatening his people.

Lust was killed because Roy refused to let Havoc die, because he refused to let Riza throw away her life. He killed her because he refused to die without making sure the people he loved were safe. Lust was killed because of love. That was the point.

I’m… terrible

I find it really wonderful and comforting that Mob Psycho 100 is so inherently optimistic, even though its main message, “you are not special” sounds so mean at face-value. Being special means that something matters more than something else of the same category. Being special at baking? Great! Being special at math? Super! Being special at bodybuilding? Neat! Having so many people have such unique special abilities is what makes the world work. But having a special ability doesn’t mean that someone who doesn't match your special ability matters less than you. You can't be special for simply existing, because that would mean someone else isn't. You aren't special because you inherently matter.

The thing that’s so ridiculous about fans infantilizing Mob is I feel like they’re losing sight of one of the most important elements of the series. Mob’s explosions are not him being taken over by someone else, he isn’t being possessed, these are the result of him being pushed too far with his emotions. Granted we still don’t know what ???% is (I honestly thought it was his subconscious but who knows), but his explosions are actually part of him. This isn’t like when Naruto would slip and get taken over by the Kyuubi. This is him hitting a boiling point. What Mob needs is self control and help with restraining himself in a healthier way as repression does not work. That’s literally why he went to Reigen and what his entire character arc is based around. And people come across like they’re missing this when they’re all “pwecious smol babu who needs to be hidden from harsh reality”.
