My name is Laith Raihan & I draw stuff. Certified Reigen hater & possibly lover. You can find all my drawings in #my art. My main blog is @laith.
This blog is SFW with the exception of figurative gore, a bit of blood & talks of sensitive topics, such as abuse & violence.
You can visit laithraihan.net for all my links. If you want to view some of my works in high quality, they're at reigen.moe/galerie.
Some little things to know:
Make sure to read the FAQ section on my website before asking me anything.
I don't answer every ask I receive, so please don't get offended if I don't answer yours... I have like 60+ 100+ messages in there. But feel free to harass me if I don't answer something important.
Instead of hiring a hitman to snipe me so that I permanently shut up, you can just mute #asks if I talk too much.
I never make jokes ever. Everything I say is 100% serious. Take everything I say at face value.
I hope we can all make Reigen suffer together. Peace & Love โ๏ธ

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.
Hello random post ๐ from now on I would prefer if you stop referring to me with she/her pronouns/calling me a woman & switch to he/him instead. I know it's probably impossible because everyone switched to she/her for a year & a half but I wanna at least try before giving up
people have been calling me transgender & congratulating me for "coming out", some were trying to figure out if i was a cis guy or not, so i just wanna ask everyone to stop forcing any of those labels on me or trying to guess what's in my pants ๐
think of it that way: people can use fake names online. people can lie about their ages. you never know what's true & what isn't. i've been going around pretending i'm a 74 year old woman online & multiple people believed me. maybe i am actually 74 years old, who knows. i could be 35 & i've been lying to you all about being in my 20s. i could be a really smart 2 year old who knows how to handle a computer. i could wake up one day & tell everyone here i'm nonbinary while in reality i identify only as a woman or only as a man. i could be 7 feet tall or 2 feet tall. i could be a fat white guy living in the suburbs of alberta.
never trust the internet & never trust yourself. this is a basic internet rule & the only way to survive on here. always be skeptical of anything you see online because everything is bullshit. do you really think my government name is laith raihan? do you really think the e-mail you got from the daughter of a dead libyan politician where she asks you for your bank info to give you an insane amount of money she inherited from her father is real? do you really think white people exist?
everything is fake. we're all fake & none of us are authentic. everything is a performance whether you realize it or not. especially on the internet, we're in a world too far away from reality. if you wish to believe i am a man on the internet, go ahead. but you don't know anything about the real-life counterpart of that internet guy you find so annoying. i may be a guy in reality, or not. i don't know. and you don't know either.
maybe i'm a chicken that has a chip planted in its brain so it knows how to communicate like a human. maybe i passed away & i'm a ghost wasting my time on the internet because there's nothing to do in the afterlife aside from doomscrolling & being forced to hang out with other ghosts i find ugly. you know nothing. i know nothing as well. always doubt everything & always overthink everything to the point where you're too paranoid to leave the house. still, it's good to touch grass. maybe eat it too. thank you. god bless.

I posted a fanart that I found on pinterest with no credits on my @reigen-arataka-impregnator blog, I want to credit the real artist, can you confirm if it's yours?
nope, that's my dear friend @xylobayo's art! you can go ask them if it's alright for you to post it ๐

helloooo i'd just like to know how you did the marquee(?) to the right of your latest reigen art if dats cool ^.^)b
Of course... It's actually very simple :-) You just need an editing program that uses keyframes (I use clip studio) oh & you need to make it a tile pattern if you want the wall of text covering the entire image like mine
To move an image like a marquee The only things you need to do are adding a keyframe at the beginning & the end of the timeline, moving the image of the last keyframe in the direction & speed that you want (the further you move the image of the last keyframe, the faster the animation will be) and then stopping at a position that makes the first & last frame look identical
Like that โ
Notice the green dots on the timeline (those are the keyframes) & the blue outline on the right side of the canvas (that is the image Im moving)
The image in the first & last keyframes is in a different position but they look exactly the same. After you're done with all that Remove 1 frame at the end without editing anything to get a looping animation that looks smooth
All of this applies to anything you wanna loop. You can make Reigen float & spin in a circle endlessly until he dies
about your recent post, are you coming out as trans?
No details about my gender will be disclosed.
I made the change because I initially never wanted people to call me she/her or a woman, but ever since That Day everyone started doing that for some reason that I'll never know. So I let it happen because I had other priorities & I didn't want people to attack me even more if I pointed out that they've all been calling me the wrong pronouns. Later decided to go along with it for over a year because I'm an idiot who couldn't stand up for myself.
I'm still trying to understand how that happened in the first place... I thought maybe it was because everyone was calling me a whore/slut/bitch/cunt/whatever else so people thought I used she/her, but I could be wrong.
In any case I don't know if people will respect this now so I'll stay a bit pessimistic to avoid being disappointed if this doesn't go the way I want to.
Edit: The only detail I'll say about my gender is that I don't want people to view me as a woman or call me a woman

Hi!! Your art is really amazing!! I adore your use of colors and how you draw people and expressions.. your art is what got me into mob psycho and zard and I thank you for that lol, I was curious if you had any thoughts or anything on Teruki and his mindset,,maybe before he met mob...I find him pretty interesting as a character and would be interested in hearing your opinions on him
Thank you so much for the sweet message โ๏ธ Im also glad I made you love them both :'-)
But hmm about Teru... I can't confidently speak about him because I haven't touched the source material in a very long time + he's not really the type of character I personally like, but I find him neat. He reminds me of Dimple since both of them wanted to be "god-like" & powerful using psychic powers, but changed their mindsets after fighting Mob
He has this very hierarchical (idk if I spelled that correctly I hate typing that word) mindset where he classifies people as strong or weak depending on their psychic abilities. He used to place himself at the very top & now Mob took his place, so he reaaaally admires him. I personally don't see it as a crush but more like Teru still obsessing about power but directing it at someone else instead while seeing that person as a friend rather than a threat. I dunno if Im just saying bullshit Im dehydrated & had a long day & all Im thinking about is killing someone & that someone is Reigen Arataka
As much as I don't care about Teru for being blond & bald I still enjoy seeing people talk about him... outside of shipping.
