helloooo boring announcement but i made significant changes to my link directory thingy whatever website ๐ laithraihan.net
there's now an option to toggle between light mode & dark mode... wow... (i only did this because i made a light version out of boredom & i liked it better, but i didn't wanna completely remove the dark one cos i think people generally like dark mode more. but light mode is just prettier in general. would you believe me if i said i always use discord on light mode.)
the english/french options are still there but this time they're cached, so next time you visit the site (or if you refresh the page) the language setting you select won't reset. same for the light/dark mode setting. they will remember you.
no more of that /#info-en or /#info-fr bullshit. all the tab links have the language abbreviation removed because idk why i even did that in the first place. laziness probably.
more questions added to my faq section & i separated it in categories because yall talk too much & the section was getting cluttered. inb4 "bro there's no way people ask you this many questions all the time" i mean... have you seen the state of my tumblr inbox. 100 something messages in there that i'm too lazy to answer and/or delete. but anyway my rule is: if 3 or more people ask me a question & i find it funny and/or interesting enough to answer that question, then i'm adding it on that page, even if it's a stupid question. so please keep asking stupid questions to make the faq section unnecessarily longer.
minor aesthetic changes that only i care about like cute little animations, new backgrounds, wasting my time formatting stuff. and i also like leaving comments in my html files sometimes. i'm just saying this for no reason at all.
and as always, you can access it on mobile. but anyway this is what it should look like on desktop ๐ (including the list of questions)
more boring news... there's a contact form now. i know people don't like sending messages on social media so there you go. don't forget to add your e-mail or socmed username or else i'm not gonna answer whatever specific question you have. because i won't be able to. ok that's all

No ..... it's a completely baseless rumor that Laith Raihan "groomed" me (neither is it true he exposed me to NSFW content, forced me to roll his blunts, or engaged in any other predatory behavior). I want to bluntly deny this, as I continue to receive anonymous messages regarding the matter.
This rumor originated from MJ or @aratakaswife on Twitter. In February of 2025, wanting to address the allegation myself, I contacted him directly. I clearly stated that I had not been groomed/subjected to any explicit material and that the allegations circulating about this experience were untrue. I had hoped this would put the rumor to rest, but Unfortunately, he made no attempts to reduce them ..... Since then, Laith Raihan and I have made several attempts to resolve this issue by getting into contact with him ..... And despite this, more than a year and a half after the rumor first surfaced, I am still regularly asked about it anonymously. It is profoundly exhausting to have to repeatedly answer the same questions about something that never actually happened?
To be clear, I wasn't groomed, and it's made me uncomfortable to hear such vile speculations since the age of 17 (when this rumor began). I hope MJ knows he is siding with people who create predatory fantasies involving real people with this rumor.
I have no idea how people want me to prove this, either, as saying it the first three times wasn't clear enough. So, if you have questions, please message me, and I will gladly dispel any concerns.
Also, Please Contact @AratakasWife So He Can Please Stop All Of This He's A Coward For Not Replying To Any Of My Messages Since He Is Afraid Of Taking Accountability At His Grown Age #LOSER
not to mention he enabled a witchhunt towards me for 1 year & a half that included vile messages & accusations involving my real-life underage siblings. he's been contacted about it at least 2 times so he's fully aware it was happening, yet no response has been given. so much for "child safety".
fuck him for throwing around a baseless accusation & just deleting it from his account without responding to the person (who was 17 at the time) he dragged into this mess for no reason. he is continuing to enable harassment towards people who literally have nothing to do with this. fuck him & all his followers for endangering & harassing minors over fucking pixels on a screen. none of us will forget the harm he's done & i am certain he will continue to harm other people.
oh i forgot to say... i added a little announcement on my main site. basically i won't be answering messages from anybody during a certain timeframe. so take a look ๐
Hello laith, i was wondering if you would draw more solo-Minori art ? Or maybe with Tsubomi ? I find them beautiful in your art style, but Iโm unsure if youโd be comfortable with it considering what happened to you including Minori before. I apologize if this sounds insensitive ๐
not insensitive at all, don't worry ๐ช hmm the thing is now i have a hard time drawing child characters, mainly because i'm not interested enough in that to be motivated ๐ there are also other factors somewhat related to this topic that make it hard for me to enjoy looking or drawing characters who are girls (unrelated to whatever happens on the internet because that's not my priority & real life problems are always 100x worse lol)
i mean i did draw mob a few times lately so mayyyybe i could be able to draw minori? a shame because she's still my favorite character. kinda sucks to be able to draw anything but your favorite character ever lol.
i also really want to draw ichi... i can't believe i only drew her once even though she's also one of my favorite characters. i find her so relatable. we both act super similar & i'm crazy about photography/taking pictures. i want a camera so bad... all i have is a phone & a dream. but i can still manage to take pretty pictures with it. my father is trying to find me a good camera & when i'll get one i'll be so annoying about it. i'll take pictures of everything. the trees, the sewers, the raccoons who always mess with the trash bins & force us to clean all the disgusting stuff the next morning.
Yesterday at the mob psycho panel of anime expo they played a new animation hinting at the reigen ova with tome appearingโฆdont talk to me im letting a great big long sigh. Very appreciative of the teamโs efforts though!! Based off a summary thread on twitter, itโs assumed to be a teaser for their anniversary weekโwhich speaking of, are you seeing the limited time episodes in NA theaters? Unlucky day to be employedโฆ
Sorry to bring up this topic in another ask, iโm grateful for your response. Hope you have a pheasent restful day ๐
nah i haven't looked at any news about it on twitter ๐ i always avoid everything about mob psycho online unless it's in non-english spaces. but i knew it was gonna happen eventually even if i didn't want it to. ughhhhhh. i'm just annoyed that most people who are excited for the anime adaptation didn't even read the source material in the first place so it just feels like fake hype to me. not the end of the world or anything but still annoying lol
i do think i'll enjoy watching it because the animation quality is never disappointing (but i also predict the pacing will be terrible since it was the case for the anime) but i'm primarily excited for the international dub releases. mohammad dal'o please save me goddddd. this is the only thing i'm looking forward to. arabic dub reigen is flirting while jp dub reigen is sexual harassment. this is simply the truth i'm being objective here. god he sounds annoying
also i didn't even know mob psycho was gonna be in theaters LOL thank you for letting me know because now i'll definitely go watch it. too bad the only movie theater here that shows it is far away so i'll have to waste my time taking the train & the metro but i did the exact same thing for the tadc movie so it's gonna be okay. well i did get lost when i wanted to go back home i came back at like 10-11pm LOL but it was worth it. it made me love jax. i wish she could abuse me too. maybe reigen would be allowed to abuse me if he brought me a beautiful motherly woman older than me who will treat me like a little baby.

I really enjoy your Minori and Reigen content, the relationship you give them is interesting and I find it weirdly comforting. I relate to Minori a lot (I used to be evil but I was/am capable of change) I love the way you portray her as being friends with Mob and a better person but still snarky and harsh. The dynamic between her and reigen, how sheโs snarky and mean with him but hugs him and wants to be around him, and he seems disinterested. I see my self and my relationship with my dad in them. Itโs upsetting and comforting at the same time. I also see, in a different way, the relationships I have with men Iโve attached myself to as father figures.
ANYWAYS, sorry this is so long. I would really love to hear what you have to saw about the relationship youโve created for them and if my interpretations were off.
also to thank you for making such incredible art, your art is the reason I started drawing again.
i'm very happy you love it & feel connected to it ๐ฅน and i'm very happy you started drawing again โ๏ธ i really appreciate your kind words. very long answer so i'll put it under a read more ๐
unfortunately it isn't something i indulge in anymore, at least publicly, but even then i've been having too many traumatic flashbacks & intrusive thoughts lately for it to be enjoyable to me now lol. it was good for a while, but now it's not really something that makes me happy anymore.
the way i viewed them was complicated. i used to project the people who made me happy onto reigen, then it turned into projecting the people who hurt me after a specific incident in my life happened around 2 years ago & i had no idea how to handle it, so i went with what i was always taught to do because that's the only thing i've known for all my developing years. i guess it would be missing the feeling of being loved by someone older than me so i was clinging onto whatever. people call it "missing your abusers", but i don't think it sounds right. i didn't want them to love me at all, i just wanted them to pretend they did. that's why reigen is always distant, i think. i don't really know what i'm feeling most of the time so i have no idea if this is sincere or i'm just bullshitting lol
for where i got the idea of drawing these 2 together in the first place... it was the only scene where they interacted, the one where reigen was sitting on her bed. he spoke to her in a way that was too reminiscent of how adults would talk to me & treat me in the past & i was never sure how to react or feel about it ๐ it was both comforting & uncomfortable at the same time. i'm cursed with both mommy & daddy issues & it's embarrassingly obvious.
minori has a very different school life & personality from mine (and i'm also very far from being rich lol) but it didn't really stop me from projecting myself onto her. i could however still relate to some parts of her... i was (unintentionally) an asshole when i was a kid because i sucked at social cues & said whatever was in my head. i'd make offensive & weird jokes all the time too. nothing bigoted or anything like that unless it was towards myself. even now people online are always mad at the jokes i make for some reason. not to be all "heh i like dark humor & all of you are stupid snowflakes" but i'm gonna joke about everything bad in my life even if it's extremely distasteful because it's funny & i hate taking my problems seriously. i can't imagine all the discourse surrounding me if i were a fictional character. think of that cute pure innocent purple lady from the lgbt circus show. awful.
sorry this is getting all personal lmao i just don't know how to explain it without oversharing because all of it was 100% related to my personal life. i realized i prefer to express those complicated feelings through adult characters, mainly because i find adult bodies aesthetically pleasing & like looking at them, and i have trouble getting motivated whenever i draw children because i have little interest in that. even when drawing petite women who get mistaken for children, i feel like it's always obvious i'm drawing an adult who looks very young instead of drawing a kid. it's funny that everything related to underage characters interacting with adults or underage characters in questionable situations became too triggering for me now so i avoid it as much as possible, unless the child depicted is me because i don't care about seeing myself getting hurt
and i also distanced myself from all that because i hate to think about who i was as a child & wish i could self-inflict amnesia. no joke i actually googled how to do this before because i was desperate LMAO. the only thing that works for me is going to the bar to drink a g&t so i can waste my time yelling "I WANT AN OLDER WOMAN TO TAKE CARE OF ME & BREASTFEED MEEEEEEE" on the phone with my friends while walking on a busy boulevard. actually i didn't even drink alcohol when i yelled this in public i was completely sober
anyway all of that is why there's a self-insert oc now. well i initially created her because i applied for a self-shipping webring without even being a self-shipper in the first place lollll. but yeah i've been having more fun with it. idk why i'm someone who prefers m/f over anything else but that's just how it is. you can't choose what gives you dopamine & what doesn't. otherwise i wouldn't be drawing that skinny faggot all the time.
