Happy late birthday Reigen💓💞💖

So, let me preface this by saying that I think Tsubomi is a cool person in terms of pure story. Super well done too. She's a sweet and considerate yet quirky and relatable character who did a good job at being Mob's primary motivator; and I don't think any of use were surprised when she rejected him in the finale. It's been obvious for the entire series that she just hasn't been holding a candle for him. But over, yeah, she's a cool person.

That said, what's with all these weird takes on the finale? I'm seeing them everywhere.

Stuff like

"Yooo Tsubomi's a GANGSTER for waiting on Mon even through the storm. What a freaking G, dooog"

Or

"Tsubomi's actually SUCH a bro. She actually waited for Mob. I can like totally see her being a wingman later down the line."

These are some of the dumbest takes I've ever heard. Dude, she waited on a bench. Yes, it was amidst a deadly looking storm, and as I said, she's a cool person. So God bless her for waiting. But amidst all the life risking labors of love performed by Hanazawa, Ritsu, and Reigen, it really wasn't THAT impressive, much less impressive enough for all these weirdos to be talking about how much of a "gangster wingman" Tsubomi is. I'm getting big simp energy from this.

"HEY LOOK AT ME! I'M SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE GIRL CHARACTER DOING THE SMALL BUT GOOD THING! BUT IT'S A BIG DEAL TO ME CUZ I'M SUCH A GREAT FREAKING GUY! SOMEONE PLEASE TOUCH MY PP"

Again man, I like Tsubomi. But these losers need to stop it. She didn't do THAT much. Much less anything to overshadow the awesome stuff Mob's friends did for him. Ya'll need to chill on your simping. It's super annoying.

Probably the best ship in mp100 history. What do u guys think (real ship art of us)

So it all started when i was hearing the drama cd scenes of the mp100 OVA II. I was a SeriRei shipper so i was dehydrated for some bit more interactions. As I come to the end of the masterlist of the translations of the audio scenes, it hit me how shitty reigen was being. Reigens great and all and we all stan! but i just let myself think about the stuff hes done. Now that i take off the rose-colored glasses and looked at the character as a whole, i am now seeing how....well... not so likeable he is. It then went into the way i drew the ship and i didnt feel confident in why i think he should be paired with anybody and i see that in the ova audio scenes. Serizawa and Reigens dynamic is not so good so far and it CAN become good but, isnt there some of that in every relationship with Reigen?? What im saying is that there are more con than pros. I guess im typing this so someone somehow proves me wrong and make me see him how I used to.
