Sluttiest Thing A Man Can Do Is Have An Air Of Profound Melancholy

mobdonalds (more below the cut)

Can it be considered fanart if it involves the collective effort of 4 almost-uni-students spending 1.5h at a local mcdonalds cutting up nori, arranging fries and artfully using ketchup packets to recreate the faces of mp100 characters?

Further info on our reasoning behind the type of food used for each character:

(All in good fun, we were just goofing around with our food)

Mob is a double cheeseburger while Ritsu is a normal cheeseburger - this is due to Ritsu's feelings of inferiority

Haystack Teru gets some nice fries for his hair for that golden crispy look

Reigen is the plumpest juiciest burger with the nicest bun because. You know.

Shou... I'm so sorry Shou you deserved better (ignore how it looks like a crime scene)

Reunion

Reigen: It’s already dark, guess I lost track of time. —Sigh—- Another day passes…

Mob: Master Reigen: Those were such good times…. Mob: Master Reigen: Time passes so quickly. He’s an adult now, out living his own life…. Mob: Master…. Master…. Reigen: I miss him. I can still hear how he used to call me. Ugh I’m hopeless.

MASTER!

Mob: It’s been a while, Master Reigen Reigen: …………. Mob? 

Reigen: You…..Why are you here? What are you doing here? 

Mob: I was thinking back to old times, and I wondered if you’d miss me at all, so I decided to drop by. 

Reigen: Idiot! Of course I do!  Mob: I was only kidding Mob: Master, I was wondering if you wanted to go get some drinks, since I’m in town. I’m twenty now. 

Reigen: Well… um, I’m not really much of a drinker. (Thinks: Can we pick something else?) Mob: But I’d like to get drinks with you.  Reigen: Uh….Well, we both know I can’t say no to you. Mob: Just one drink 

Mob thinks: ah… he’s only had a few sips

Reigen: You’ve really grown up.

Mob: You’ve gotten older too, Master.

Reigen: Ugh, don’t remind me

Reigen: So you’re in college now yeah? You doing okay?

Mob: Yeah

Reigen: You ever encounter supernatural stuff anymore?

Mob: Occasionally But every time I do, I think of the things you taught me and the things we’ve been through together. And it’s through these experiences that I’m able to live a normal life.  Reigen: Haha you’re giving me waayy to much credit. 

Mob: No it’s true, meeting you was the best thing that happened to me. 

Mob: Uh…. are you crying? Reigen: Of course not

Reigen downs his drink in one go and falls forward onto the table Mob thinks: Has he had too much?

Reigen slurring: Moooobbb Mob thinks: Is he okay?…He’s really falling apart. Reigen: Awww look at your chubby cheeks, just like when you were little. Mob: Ugh not this side of him

Reigen pets his hair for a bit. Reigen: But… real talk. I’m really happy to be able to see you again.

Reigen: Mob…. you’ve grown up into a really good person. Mob: Of course I did…. I’m YOUR student after all.  By Gamtga on twitter

This is not a fully formed thought but. Considering the ways in which one of the big tensions of Mob Psycho is "Do you see other people as people or do you see them as tools?" and how in World Domination it's revealed that despite building this huge organization Toichiro views everyone around him as literal power sources (and how the ground troops think he's doing everything for them and the Scars think 'Well *those* people are useless but he's doing it for *us*' and Shimazaki tells the Scars 'Well *you're* useless but the Super Five are *actually* important' and then manga Toichiro says that he only keeps the Super Five around as spare batteries), and conversely how in Divine Tree Dimple realizes that even though he's been using all these people as power sources it's not accomplishing what he wants because he's actually desperate for someone to see him as a person. And considering how Psycho Helmet is the purest and most terrifying incarnation of "people are only worth what power I can extract from them" because it was created from those predatory impulses and nothing else.

Looks like someone needs to call in "???" to school

I love jolly posting

I did some Mob Psycho hand studies this week because I love how expressive and simple the studio draws them!! Most of these are.. Reigen’s hands. I want to study every Reigen frame.

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR FOLKS

He got a makeover. No more star, but he has lights

I genuinely love so much that Roy Mustang, for all his brutal pragmatism and haughty coldness and quick ruthlessness, is an idealist. I especially love that his idealism is explicitly different from a naive idealism that does not yet know what the reality is, like that of his youth.

The idealism he carries during the series is a very conscious, active, vicious idealism armed with teeth and claws that he stubbornly and aggressively chooses to possess. He tells Hughes, as the war ends, that he is aware that these are pipe dreams, that this is unrealistic, that this is runaway hope, but he chooses to dream anyway because it is necessary for better futures (and he's right, imagining a better future believing that things can become that IS necessary for change). It's an idealism that is wildly optimistic but in a very grounded, pragmatic way. And for that reason, it's actually never at odds with his very calculating and aloof manner.

It's just so great. He is a ruthless idealist, and his idealism itself is vicious in the way that it is prepared to fight bloody to protect and enact this dream of things getting better.

MP100 Theory: Mob’s Power

(This post only uses manga caps for convenience’s sake,)

One of the main plot points of MP100 is Mob’s aversion to using his powers. This was due to a number of things, but that main two being Tsubomi and a tragic event where he accidentally hurt his brother.

This, of course, eventually leads to Mob’s explosions or “100%.” But in theory, these explosions wouldn’t be nearly as bad if Mob wasn’t as powerful. Which begs the question - where did all of Mob’s psychic power come from? 

We know he’s a natural born psychic. He’s had his powers since he was young - Ritsu confirmed as much.

But obviously being able to float dogs since birth doesn’t give you godly powers. There are at least four other natural born psychics in the show, and their abilities all differ.

We also already know that Mob hasn’t been “training” his powers or anything. He’s avoided using them at all cost. So why the strength if he’s not even training? Well, the answer is simple.

Holding back his emotions.

We already know from Dimple that emotions can affect your psychic powers, and from Ritsu’s “experiments,” we know it can increase said power.

So it’s safe to say that after years of stress and other floods of emotions (that Mob has been holding back,) his power naturally increased because of all his turmoil. However, this wouldn’t be bad if he were also using his powers freely like Ritsu did. But since Mob is still too afraid to do such, he was accidentally saving energy.

Saving energy is something that we know is possible due to both of the Suzukis doing it. You can still use part of your energy and save the rest. Kind of like eating one slice of pizza instead of the entire thing.

These two things are what makes Mob so overpowered. Whenever Mob goes 100%, he is using part of 10+ years of held back emotions.

But keep in mind that this energy isn’t being immediately replaced. When you eat a slice of pizza, another one doesn’t magically take it’s place. You either have to cook more or buy another slice. Both of which takes time.

So when Mob goes 100%, he is depleting part of the energy he has saved for so long.

This leads you to believe “Wouldn’t Mob eventually run out of stored energy?”

Yes, but when he uses ???%, this energy is replaced.

During his fight with Teruki, he absorbed the other’s power. (Along with everything else in the atmosphere.)

Luckily, ???% is much rarer than 100%, otherwise Mob would eventually take in more energy than he got rid of.

TLDR: Mob’s power is due to him holding in his emotions and if not for his 100% explosions, he could eventually kill us with a sneeze.
