[ID: a 3 page comic of mob and teru from mob psycho 100, with a monochrome pink/red palette and white background. mob and teru are sitting next to each other, teru rambling on about something and mob is quietly listening. mob looks at the pants teru is wearing, jeans with heart cutouts all over them. he reaches out to poke at teru's leg through one of the cutouts, absentmindedly. they share a pause of silence before mob realizes what happened and says "oh- I'm sorry," and teru responds, "haha, that's okay". teru then asks mob. "is there something wrong?. mob is flustered and says, "uh- no just, there's a lot of cutouts.. wouldn't shorts be more comfortable?" teru, also flustered, says "uh- well, i guess it isn't the most comfortable, but, i think it looks good, you know? and sometimes i get compliments, makes it worth it..." the last panel is a close-up of mob and teru's hands, slight touching, with more saturation at the point of contact. mob says, "that makes sense. they do look good on you", teru says "thanks" END ID]

i have been contemplating the circumstances of dimples death which lead me down a rabbit hole of catholicism in Japanese history, here is the result...
[ID: two illustrations of dimple/ekubo from mob psycho 100. in the first image, there is a half-body sketch of a human, pre-death dimple. he is wearing a dark navy robe and has black, slightly curly hair. next to him is a block of text: "pre-death ekubo. 42 at death. -part of a sect of catholicism[in japan] in the 1600s, hidden from the shogun due to the persecution of said sect -to keep their practices secret, priesthood was hereditary. dimple was to be a priest after his father. he died before he could. - the negative emotions leading up to his crucifixion was so strong that he turned into a spirit in the afterlife" in the second image, there is pre-death ekubo and spirit ekubo floating above him, in a color palette of red, black and gold. human ekubo is facing the viewer, his face covered in shadows. his hands are together and he is holding a rosery. behind human ekubo's head is a gold-leaf circle.

Hi.
Reigen calling Serizawa "wawa" for the first time.. And Serizawa calling Reigen "baby girl" for the first time.. I want to see their reactions.
Serizawa's POV:
Reigen's POV (long):
ever since dream bbq got announced a few years ago, I've always been drawn to taski maiden - not only because she's silly, but also because her design is deeply fascinating to me, as it's rich in history. I haven't seen any posts discussing it yet, so I thought I'd make one!
the thing about taski maiden is that her design is very rooted in mesoamerican art. her appearance is heavily based on the textiles made by the chimú, who inhabited the coasts of what is now perú and were one of the most prolific empires of pre-columbus america - check these out!
if you look at the second image specifically - which shows chimú warriors - you can see how closely the top left figure matches taski!
in fact, all of her forms share the same colour scheme present in most chimú textiles: red, yellow, white, and black.
the little guys she's carrying are based on it, too! their face is a perfect match to the creatures the warriors are holding.
speaking of the little guys, the cloth taski is carrying them in is actually an aguayo! its a rectangular cloth used by various south american cultures to carry items and small children in.
final fun fact: taski is a quechua word that roughly translates to young woman or virgin.
and that's about it! as a south american person myself, I just think it's amazing to get a design that draws from our historical art and culture. just makes me love this series even more :]
