It's interesting to think about how Three differs from SecUnit in certain ways. And also the reactions of those around it:D

Inspired by one of my fav fics I really want a miscommunication fic where Shane thinks they like Broke Up Broke Up. Of course Ilya wants more. Of course he wouldn't put his whole life on pause for Shane Hollander. Who would?

Ottawa is terrible. And Shane sent him there. Of course its not enough. It's never enough.

He breaks his phone accidentally and decides to get a new number. Start fresh.

Calls his mom and - oh wow Ilya is over there? Thats. So nice. Its so great that Ilya already told them and his parents love Ilya and don't want to take sides. That's awesome.

He's just. Not ready to talk about it, mom, and has to go actually, and maybe don't tell Ilya I called? Yeah - no, of course he already knows. Sure. Yeah. Love you too. Talk soon.

How long. How long could that POSSIBLY stretch on for before Ilya becomes aware that Shane thinks he broke it off?

Delicious.

(Ilya: you think is that easy? Hm? You can get rid of me like that? I would go to hell for you. I would crawl on broken glass to kiss your fucking skates. I went to OTTAWA. FOR YOU! Death will not do us part you stupid motherfucker!)

based on these passages from the odyssey and the aeneid (and i think it might have happened in the iliad too, though i can’t remember where):

athena and aphrodite know EXACTLY what matters and that is HEROIC BIMBOFICATION!

"This 14-year-old is the most powerful person in the WORLD but really... he just wants to be a normal middle schooler...!" is absolutely not new to anime but USUALLY it's all a power-fantasy. It's humble-bragging. It's an awkward marriage of relatability and bus-window-day-dreaming. "Oh MAN, I just SAVED the WORLD 😱😏🌍💥but I still have a MATH TEST tomorrow 📏✖️AND I have a CRUSH 😊 (who doesn't know I'm the coolest badass in the world because that's a secret!! 😜)"

Which is all to say once again that no one is doing it like Mob Psycho 100. Because Mob is unambiguously the most powerful entity in the world and he goes "Okay but that's not very interesting. Being powerful isn't a personality. I'm gonna try to improve myself in ways that matter."

The evil spirit on his shoulder spends all series going "PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" and Mob says, "No thank you. Do you want to help me with my math homework?" and the second most powerful person in the world comes up to say, "We are a supreme species of super-human better than everyone else!" and Mob says, "You sound stunted as a person. Maybe try working a customer service job?" and a classmate will go, "Why not use your powers to be popular?" and Mob says, "Psychic powers don't make you popular. Do you want to see me lift this 10kg dumbbell? I've been working on that."

[phantomrose96]

And it's not a joke or a bit. And it's not the narrative giving a wink-wink-nudge-nudge to the audience like 'Sure Mob SAYS he's not more important than anyone else but WE know how secretly cool epic he is for his powers 😏'

Like Mob or Reigen or whoever it is in the moment says, "Maybe you'll learn something about yourself working a customer service job" and the narrative turns to the audience and says, 'You too might learn something from a customer service job. Just a thought.'

[phantomrose96]

Mob Psycho is a power fantasy for young teens about how if you apply yourself earnestly and put yourself out there and value everyone equally and stick to your compassionate principles, then you too can foster a healthy and growing support network of people who care about you and who will help guide you as you figure out the kind of person you want to become. The psychic powers parts are just in service to that narrative.

The real conflict in Smallville isn’t Clark vs Lex, it’s Lex vs the Narrative.

I’m not even being pithy here. We have a character that is Going To Become Evil. That is the information we have going in. Then he shows up episode one, he’s kind and hurting and being emotionally abused by his father and the whole town hates him and he keeps trying.

But he can’t win, because the pitch that got the show made depends on him Becoming Evil. It externalises the evil as something that happens to him, rather than the Lexes in other media who often start out as arseholes who only get worse. This Lex could have been good, but he’s not allowed. The narrative says from the get-go, without subtlety because subtlety is not Smallville’s strong point, ‘there’s darkness in him’. And then it shows us a kind and intelligent man trying to escape from his father’s control and says ‘that guy, there. Don’t you see it? He’s going to destroy everything. Why? Oh, because he’s Lex Luthor. The narrative requires it.’ And that's the fucking tragedy.
