portrayed in canon, Mob is shown with a crush on a girl and is fond of the idea of getting attention from girls

Reigen doesn't show outward preferences towards anything - but then again he doesn't even have friends and seems to have had superiority issues and is currently just bad about being honest about his feelings

WHEN I ROLEPLAY THOUGH

I don't typically care, I usually expand on the vague canon mentions so that I can enable as much shipping as possible

I literally don't care I'm in this to have fun and for me that usually means opening the door for potential romantic CR to develop

bc Mob getting a crush on anyone/having awkward feelings about getting confessions

adorable

and Reigen is currently in a smut game but in a normal game I'd probably play him closer to canon

I rly like aro reigen hc but i also ship serirei so im in anguish

I can see why aro or ace reigen but I think it mostly boils down to Reigen having the aforementioned social issues so idk when you start RPing a character as nuanced as Reigen you kinda gotta set down the foundation of your characterization for him

It really is funky his situation... his charisma levels are off the charts but he cant make steady connections

like as a kid I doubt he was unpopular or anything. he was just the guy everyone knew but not knew knew

probably part of it is also the lack of ONE inserting any ~past relationship~ stuff common with some mentor figures, but certainly not all

I think it's good that it hasn't been bogged down since it's not necessary to understand his current situation

he might not have real friends from school - he might've been a blowhard trying to impress them just like he did for the losers in the bar

and no one kept up with him once they left school

cries over his empty bday email

literally just mom trying to get him a normal job

hes still in the process of growing!! it saves him from death flag mentor syndrome

PFF yeesh ONE wouldn't kill Reigen

at least not anytime soon in the story

hell I doubt Reigen'll even come close to dying

YEAH basically mentors who are. Too Gud on the onset are highrisk

reigen is great and reigen is flawed so hes safe

also it's ONE

he rarely follows conventions like that

yep. i still remember this blog i read for a bit bc one of the contributors was a good sakuga commentator then

there was this other dude... who thought everything abt mp100 was conventional... idk what lenses he was using on his glasses but he needs those peepers checked
