from the response from non mp100 fans to mob winning tumblr autism polls i kinda get the sense that people who havent seen the show think hes a “diagnosed autism at fandom because socially awkward” kind of character and not like. the most autistic character ever written.

#shigeo mob kageyama no one is doing it like you #i know ive said this before but: genuinely the most Seen ive felt by a character ever. i love him. he's awesome #mob

been wanting to make a teru adhd masterpost but cannot be bothered to go and search for screenshots so here’s a list

teru canonically

is prone to aggression/frustration

is impulsive

lacks restraint (in some cases)

acts without thinking

has trouble relaxing/is restless

always needs to be doing something or else bored

has trouble engaging in conversation without relating the topic to himself

has little to no sense of danger

also this dude has rsd big time

like if anyone has an extreme emotional response to rejection by important ppl in his life, it’s him. that’s trauma babey!

overachieving as a way to avoid failure. always improving and being the best to fit his idealized version of himself that can not receive any criticism

presenting a false self to others in order to get praise, often forgetting one’s own goals and motives while constantly being a people pleaser

he literally gets fevers from defeat you think that isn’t some psychological response to rejection?

do you understand?

Sometimes I think about Teru And The Narrative and lose my mind. like. I joke that he's the only character who knows he's in an anime and that can be funny, but the truth is that he's so desperate to find a story to fit into because that's the only way his life will Make Sense. No, his parents didn't abandon him; they just had to go somewhere else to keep themselves safe, and he has to be the one dealing with the threats because he's The Protagonist. It doesn't matter that he's a kid; the protagonists of the stories he reads are as young as him and they deal with worse than this all the time! He has to {learn to fight off adult attackers} {hone his powers so he's unbeatable} {violate the Geneva Convention} because that's what protagonists do!

And then he meets Mob.

But instead of the experience making him realize that he isn't in that kind of story, it convinces him that he is, but he isn't the protagonist. Mob is. (And obviously, from our perspective, he's right, but he has the genre wrong. Teru has never seen a story with themes as kind as Mob Psycho's).

So then: he's a side character. He's Mob's rival (complete with intense homoromantic adoration). He redefines his role in the story, but he doesn't redefine the rules that tell him it's okay that he lives alone and is constantly fighting for his life. In fact, he keeps going out to find more ways to get in trouble. He goes to confront the broccoli alone. He makes himself a superhero outfit and starts flying around Seasoning City hoping he could gain some fulfillment from playing superhero. His after-school activity is taking down terrorist splinter groups!

Because if he tries to change the genre or abandon the conceit, tries to live his life as an ordinary middle-schooler, suddenly he doesn't have an excuse anymore. For his parents leaving. For what he needed to do to survive. It stops being fun and becomes horrifying.

In Confession Arc, one of the things that he has to face is that Mob isn't the protagonist of the world any more than Teru himself was. I don't think that he's broken out of his narrative thinking completely (he still calls himself Mob's rival), but it finally shakes some of those foundations when he sets himself and Mob on equal footing for the first time.

So afterwards, maybe he can become the protagonist of his own life. Maybe, finally, he can start making decisions about the story he wants to be in instead of trying to adapt himself to fit the one he thinks someone else has defined for him.

#teru #hey what if i EXPLODED #im holding this post in my teeth and shaking it around (lovingly) #nothing to add its just rattling in my brain
