give it up for the One and Only Karamatsu Boy™
bolting awake in bed. actually how old was teru when claw started targetting him?? because the page we find this out he says
and the use of "a few" rather than "a couple" indicates "more than two years ago". and last time i thought "oh maybe it's just translation weirdness and theyre using a slightly less accurate word" was this
in which case "a few years" ended up meaning five
Drew some fanart of @kellen-kat ‘s fanfic, “Sweet Little Lies” on AO3! This is specifically from Chaptee 13, Mystify. I’ve never had a scene from a fanfiction hit me as hard as that one did. I tried to draw the scene as softly as possible especially since it was really emotionally charged.
Anyway I was absolutely in love with the fic, and can’t wait to see how it ends!
Building up to episode 24 I was expecting something written with the purpose of being angsty, like a real tear jerker you know?
But what we got, oh god what we’ve received, it’s so much better than that
This episode was so much more sincere than I expected it to be- it wasn’t written to be sad: It was written to continue the the two season long arc of Osomatsu’s character development, it was written with purpose and love
And you can feel it, you can feel the love the staff put into this episode
First off, the animation is FUCKING GORGOUS in this episode
Like, this whole season has been a huge improvement when it comes to the overall quality of the art, lighting, and the overall smoothness and effort put into the animations
But this episode takes the cake
Everything is so beautiful to look at- watching them even do simple everyday tasks was euphoric
god
fuck
DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN THIS EPISODE WAS HOLY SHIT
There’s just so much continuity, subtlety, attention to detail whan it comes to parrells between shots in this and other episodes
When Oso’s walking around aimlessly without his brothers, he passes by several different locations throughout town- these places are the exact same places he saw his brothers in episode two of season one
And in the sky, in the season one episode twenty four, they’re all conected by the same moon
But in this episode, there’s no moon at all, Oso is completely severred
GOD THIS EPISODE IS SO FUCKING DELICIOUS FINALL SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD
and finally
the most important thing of all
WE FINALLY GOT A COMPLETELY OSO CENTRIC EPISODE
FUCK ME
His development from season one is absolutely some of the most amazing character growth I’ve seen in a long time
In Season One epsiode twenty four Osomatsu is:
- violent and irrational
- closed off emotionally
- ageinst the idea of getting jobs
- doesn’t take care of himself
- most likely (because of his low self awareness) he doesn’t really understand what it is he’s feeling
- let’s decisions of others affect his life
BUT NOW, ONE SEASON LATER, OSOMATSU IS:
- Coping with stress in a healthy manner
- Openly expressing
- The first to suggest getting a job to support their father
- Is bathing, eating, and even doing chores
- Has reflected upon his feelings
- Gaining enough confidence in himself to want to make decisions seperate from the group
And even though he’s still afraid of change, still suffering from his identity complex and from dissociation, evn though he’s lonely; he’s still able to handel the failing health of his father, isolation from his brothers, and a minimum wage job
Hes the best boy in the whole world
amen
the song from today’s episode! (homura’s screaming at the beginning so loud warning for that)
I’ve just got a lot of feelings about Bakugou ok?
everything is f i n e
Ichi always being so negative..
I wanted to draw something warm
Another thing I've heard some people mention is the differences between Mob and Ritsu's bedrooms. Ritsu has a bed, vast bookshelves and things on his walls, while Mob has a futon, a singular bookshelf and nothing on his walls. And this isn't a design flaw, it's a silent character story. As Mob grew up with psychic powers that he struggled to control, it was likely that both he and his parents thought it would be safer for him to have the bare minimum of things in his room so that nothing gets broken and/or wouldn't put Mob or those around him in danger. Ritsu didn't have powers growing up, which meant he could decorate his room.
This is only a small theory/headcanon that I've seen floating around, but I think it's pretty interesting and says a lot about Mob and Ritsu's childhoods.
