A while ago, my friend suggested me to host a tomezato focused event this year. The idea intrigued me. I have never organized this kind of thing before, and I know that the theme of this hypothetical event is rather niche—even more for a fandom with mostly M/M pairings. Even the femslash focused weeks I've seen before were wayyyyy more general than this

However, as I showed my yuri rarepair to the world, I ended up finding a very positive reception. Not only this: I've been seeing more and more tomezato recently, even though this change seems like nothing at first glance! This motivated me to make this post and discover who would this interest

This week probably won't be popular, but I don't mind. My intention is to bring light to a really cool ship and give its fans the opportunity to see their love for it DOES mean something. Their creations, their ideas—they ALL are important and they all deserve to be seen. It doesn’t matter the medium, nor if its "good enough"

I hope this will be fun, if it ever happens : )

If enough people like this idea, TomeZato Week will happen in their birthday week (27 and 28/09), and I'll announce the prompts at least a month prior. I don't know if I'll make a whole sideblog for it, but who knows? Either way, any suggestions are appreciated!!!

I like my tags but I don't feel like re-formatting them into actual text, so I'll put them here:

tome fans in the northern hemisphere, how are we handling the summer?

trying to recreate the will to live from first principles w/ miscellaneous mobbles

So, I (maybe unsurprisingly) have a file dedicated to various instances when Mob’s thoughts or actions are rather dark. Which was started as evidence gathering mission to try and counterbalance the excessively saccharine treatment Mob tends to get and to recognise the interesting and multifaceted character he actually is…

Characters in the series often have difficulty recognising Mob’s opinions and emotions, and while we as an audience are well aware of his emotions, I’ve noticed people tend to overlook Mob’s actual thoughts on things if they don’t align with what people think he *should* think.  

Mob is someone who does the right thing, for as many people as possible, not because he can’t comprehend bad, or doesn’t realise it’s an option, but because he is someone who actively wants to be better. And that doesn’t mean he forces himself to like or forgive everyone who wrongs him (that’s unreasonable to expect of anyone - let alone a 14-year-old kid), sometimes it just means avoiding doing them actual harm out of that dislike.

and yes, sometimes someone has to step in before Mob is pushed over his limit - thank you Reigen and Dimple at various points in the series - sometimes Mob doing nothing in a situation is the best he can manage. Because it’s better than the alternative ie: 100% murderous intent vs Mob 0% and Reigen 1000%

Mob thinks his actions through a lot in the series (although he actually vocalises those thoughts much less). And he takes the time to think through actions and consequence thoroughly 

Which in the above instance freaks Reigen out, and also highlights a difference between them: Reigen says the right thing instantly because it’s the Right Thing to say, while Mob takes a… concerning amount of time to really take a look at what he would do first. And I love them both for different reasons as a result of this interaction.

Mob is conscientious and a good person. not because he lacks the ability to comprehend doing wrong, but because he thinks and works really hard to overcome those thoughts and be better. 

He thinks about doing the bad stuff, and then actively works really hard to avoid doing them.
