we are in a media literacy crisis
ABoT does DnD. It’s like Actor AU except they’re a group of frustrated nerds arguing about stupid details at 1 am on a Friday night in Mogami’s basement
Ft. these scenarios probably break all the DnD rules but we’re having fun
fullmetal alchemist fans will say shit like 'tbh him getting impaled was one of my favorite moments in the story' and they will be talking about their beloved protagonist.
I want to talk about this photograph!!!
It’s the one on Reigen’s “With our satisfied customers!” corkboard hung up in the office and it appears specifically when seen by Tsubomi in s2e8.
This corkboard displaying all of Reigen’s satisfied clients didn’t show up until s2e6—after Separation Arc begins. Reigen realizes he’s completely alone at the bar, has his panic attack in the alleyway, and then starts his big push for fame with the livestreams and stuff. He puts up this corkboard around that point in the episode, partially to showcase his efficacy to potential clients, and probably also to try and convince himself that he’s not alone.
Upon first—and even subsequent—watches, I didn’t think anything about the picture. Like, yeah, of course Tsubomi would see some evidence of Mob in the Spirits n’ Such office. He’s been there multiple days a week for years. But I’ve been thinking about it more this time around and it kinda just hit me how sweet it is.
This picture of Mob and Reigen is on the corkboard for satisfied clients, where it doesn’t really belong. Mob isn’t a client. It’s markedly more casual than the other photos all taken in the field because it’s literally just them hanging out together in the office. Also, Reigen has his arm on Mob’s shoulder, so this is the only picture on the entire board where Reigen is initiating contact and demonstrating affection (the one where the lady has her arm around his shoulder doesn’t count because that wasn’t his personal action).
The picture is also pinned beneath two other photos that are layered on top, insinuating that they happened after his picture with Mob. I like to think that Reigen hung this picture up on the board after he and Mob reunited, even though it’s a board for clients, just because he loved it and wanted to have it in the office. I think he wanted to have tangible evidence of his connection with Mob after spending so long alone, especially in the office. And the two pictures on top might just be clients that came after the end of Separation Arc but before the events of episode 8. Sneaking photos of a loved one into office space is such a classic dad/big brother move lol.
In addition to this, there’s an illustration that came in the Mob Psycho 100 II DVD/Blu-Ray set that’s very similar to this. (I couldn’t find a full version without the “SAMPLE” 😭)
It looks like another version of the “satisfied client” board with another picture of Reigen and Mob pinned on it, both of them making peace signs and smiling at the camera. I think Reigen just really likes taking cute photos with Mob and pinning them around the office lol. It’s incredibly endearing when you think about it—especially since Reigen tried to act so cool and unaffected by everything near the start of the series. No one is immune to Mob.
So I was daydreaming about mob psycho fighting game, then I daydreamed about the tag team ultimate attacks, then somehow, out of all the canon interactions, these two barely interacted hooligans ended up being the first(and only?) one that I came up with.
