Protectiveness

Waaaah ♡♡♡ Thank u so much, this is a really interesting question :3

Saying that is actually more of a #cope for Ritsu, it helps him feel like he has a sense of control if he imagines that he could have made other choices and isn't debilitatingly emotionally dependent on his brother's company. He's trying to feel like his own person while still also keeping the security of always having his favourite person around, like having his cake and eating it too

I haven't reread it so I'm not sure I was able to get it across in my old writing but that is how I imagine it at least X)

If it actually did happen, if he left or something happened with Mob, I think he'd regret it and crumble immediately, or get very closed off and be a shell of himself. He got his "independence" but it was more like having a crutch ripped away before his legs had healed

They absolutely did make those plans for real but I think that both Shou and Teru had Big Doubts on whether Ritsu could really handle that, meanwhile Ritsu doesn't WANT to be self-aware that he couldn't do it so he chose not to acknowledge it. He would've had to face that when it was already too late

I feel like Shou always knew he'd be number 2 and felt at peace with it, while Teru always knew he'd have to fight to even be on the list and was willing to do that

But Ritsu could never quite cope with Mob placing anyone or anything above him, and Mob would just sort of swallow it and believe that if Ritsu placed anything above him it's the right call because Ritsu is good & smart and Mob doesn't deserve anything good

I felt like portraying the angstier side of admiration, of looking up to someone so much you don't see their real self

Relief

Here are the fanarts I sneaked into one of the RitMobRit AMVs I made

Spaghetti niiiight ahahah.... it has been a while but I finally updated Sunflower :>

Overcast skies hung like fruit ready to fall.

Humidity suffocated them in their long sleeves; Shigeo in all black, wrinkled plaid unbuttoned and fraying around the holes, Ritsu in the blue one his brother often borrowed, ironed straight.

Shige looked happier in pink.

This wasn't a happy visit.
