Esper Squad But With Roses

Always love the interpretations of Claw as a serious, horrifying group who was responsible for severe long-lasting damage (it's a terrorist organization, after all), but I also wish people recognized it was badly administered in almost stupid levels because not only it is fun: it only enhances how awful it was!

Claw was structured specifically to attract powerhungry and deeply immature individuals, since this is the only type of person that finds it sensible to destroy society and make espers stand on top. Claw didn't have a strong ideology to guide its members besides "esper = good". Claw didn't have a focus besides creating a huge mass of strong espers to take over everything by force, because no one ever stopped to think "who would keep society running if not normal people?". What happens? Constant infighting because most of these idiots believe they have the right of being the leader. The organization only didn't crumble on itself because it worked by a "might makes right" logic and Toichiro was stronger than everybody there.

How did such a pathetic organization keep existing for 20 years? That's the dreadful core of it all. Claw only could sustain itself despite its members' overwhelming incompetence and amateurish lack of foresight because it preyed on vulnerable people. No functional member of society mattered to them. It was the cult victims, it was the lonely and misunderstood, it was the children. People who didn't have anything else - or better put, couldn't defend themselves. That's the lifeforce of the organization, because Claw couldn't depend on mature citizens to give them money and soldiers. Of course they had to target the "weak", of course. It was not like they could face anyone else either way. That above all is what makes it such a deplorable group.

COOL KIDZ!!

Mob Psycho 100 as Tweets

Been rewatching mp100 so I had to make this.

watched asteroid city and made some doodles..

realized that i never shared this here but a while back i was browsing abebooks manuscripts section and discovered this document that, according to the sj association president, is a working draft copy of a cps decree that was counter-signed by saint-just prior to its ratification on 2 thermidor (making it one of the last things he ever signed :'))

St. Just's signature: He signed with the "e" here too, as he often did, especially when communicating with people he didn't know well, likely to tell them how his name was pronounced (no more 'sinjeu' situations)

... totally unrelated question but does anyone have 1900€ that i could have as a late birthday gift ?

Shou and his resistance team are based on the moon rabbit folktale (that's why he gets a haircut)

References are in his lackeys names / outfits + other

The story in short is about a rabbit who wanted to save a starving man, so he jumped into fire to become food for him. and then was rewarded for his kindness/self-sacrifice by being taken to live on the moon and he makes rice cakes there.

(other versions have different animals, an actual starving man or emperor or god; or the rabbit's gift is his image being carved on the moon (implied that he died in fire), or the rabbit making medicine on the moon)

Ootsuki 大月; 月tsuki means moon, hence the crescents on his outfit

Fukuda 福田:

- is interestingly the name of a company that makes medical technology stuff/ healthcare products

- 田da means rice field , hence the plant on the H and maybe the white knots is a visual cue for rice 

 While in the Japanese version the rabbit makes rice cakes , in the Chinese version the rabbit is making medicine instead, so that's also related to his healing powers.

Higashio 東尾: 

- hi 火 means fire 

- 餓死 gashi means starvation. (the only one I had to skip the official way its written but if I were to guess I dont think starvation would be directly part of a name so yea)

Shou:

 -Chinese zodiac sign: rabbit

- hair looks like fire

So, Shou is surrounded by moon rabbit references, and his arc is mainly about running away vs responsibility which parallels a story about self sacrifice (as kindness/virtuous mind you). That's reflected in wd arc and confession arc, as in both arcs Shou was prepared to die to stop Touichirou. 

Because in confession arc even though Touichirou’s plan was to sacrifice himself…..he explained how to do it to Shou. the one with the self sacrifice metaphor…()

Anyway, Shou getting a haircut in the epilogue symbolizes realizing that he shouldn't sacrifice himself for others sake, like letting go of the fire that the rabbit would've jumped into.
