NOT AN RP BLOG.
This was a DGM blog but now it's more general-purpose anime. Mostly DGM and MHA/BNHA, but I've been watching anime since the early 90's so you might see retro stuff occasionally as well.
Not a spoiler-free zone, but I'll try to tag latest-chapter spoilers at least with "#dgm spoilers" or what-have-you.
please do not send me chain letters (even nice ones!)

yo dude as someone who grew up with Harry potter and avatar and all these stories about child saviours and LOVED them, reigens role in mob psycho absolutely exploded my brain like BRO. when reigen grabs mob, looks him in the eyes and tells him that he's going to lose playing by the enemies rules, and then, totally sincere for once, tells him it's alright to run away, and all the lines melt away from mob's face, and he gasps with relief because he's a CHILD who's already done enough and was only waiting for someone to tell him that he'd done his part, that the burden of destiny does not belong to a child, that there is no prophecy to fulfill, that his childhood comes before his abilities, that he is no chosen one. dude that slapped

When Riegen stepped up and said “you’re 14. Let the adults handle adult problems. You go handle teenager problems, like dating and lunch with friends.” It HIT

But THEN he turned around to face the ADULTS who had been tormenting children, building this entire psychic evil group - he looked at these people who could rip him apart with their mind, and he really said “stop acting like children, you’re acting pathetic. Stop being selfish and join society to change it instead of throwing a tantrum in your self-appointed special box of “I get what I want””

And fuck me, Reigen is such a flawed person. He’s selfish, he’s a liar and a conman, but he saw one (1) scared child in his office, and again at that confrontation, and he really said “That’s not your responsibility. That’s not your burden. That’s not your fear to hold. It doesn’t matter if you’re more capable - it’s not meant for you. Let the adults handle it.”

He was really the Responsible Adult (tm) that every child hero should have had.

And what does he get?

100% Gratitude.

He’s maybe not a good person, but he’s a GOOD PERSON, yknow?

I love Reigen.

sorry for random star wars posts, I have a sw sideblog now and I keep accidentally reblogging here because tumblr makes separating activity between a main blog and a sideblog such a huge pain in the ass
