I CRY LAUGH EVERYTIME SOMEONE DRAWS HIM WITH THE ARCH SOBBING

I feel like what separates Tim Botsford from other bumbling dad characters is that his bumbling doesn’t bleed into his parenting. Like he can expertly de-escalate an argument between his kids but he also tried to get his wife out of jail by “trading cool stuff” after first putting on his “danger pants” I also really like that “sibling” was one of the few words of the day he already knew, even if he didn’t necessarily know how to give a definition of it. He can be comic relief while also being a very competent dad when he needs to be.

In the same vein I like that even though Sally is more sensible than Tim is some respects, she doesn’t fall into the “mom who basically parents her husband” trope. She’s just as goofy as he is, but her goofiness is something she turns on and off, when she’s having fun with her family/husband it turns on, when she’s in professional settings or when she needs to be more serious for her family, it turns off. 

so basically the Botsfords live up to animated sitcom parent archetypes with the parts of those archetypes that would be detrimental to their children and marriage cut out. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

A digital mob and a spread from my sketchbook of me trying to figure out how to draw these guys pfft

Wdym guys this is literally what happened

?? Idk what endings you guys got but mob is fine on the episode I watched

Sometime post-series, Reigen takes Mob out for one of their semi-monthly ramen nights and the kid seems more distracted than usual. After he bends his spoon for the second time (and the ceramic ones are much more fiddly to fix), Reigen’s finally like “Okay, Mob. What’s bothering you?”

Mob: Oh. Well. I … realized that I have feelings for Hanazawa. Reigen, clapping him on the back: Hey, that’s great, Mob! Mob: But I don’t think I can tell him Reigen, immediately shifting into Business Mode: Why not? Mob: *stares wordlessly into his soup* Reigen: Now Mob, you shouldn’t be afraid of rejection! I know things got a little … hairy with Tsubomi, but in the end you handled it like a champ! Mob: No, it isn’t that. Reigen: Of course it isn’t! He’s not, uh, dating someone else, is he? Mob: No. A lot of girls have confessed to him, but he says he isn’t interested in any of them. Reigen: Well, that sounds like great news for you, right? Mob: *continues fixing his spoon* Reigen, internally: shit, is someone giving him trouble for liking boys? is he afraid of how people will react? are society’s judgements preventing him from following his dreams? Reigen: *deep breath* Reigen: *launches into a long and heartfelt speech about how it doesn’t matter what other people think of you and you should always be true to yourself and pursue what makes you happy, and being different isn’t bad, in fact it’s beautiful, and how no matter who he loves Mob will always, always have his support. By the end he’s crying a little and so are half the other people in the ramen bar* Mob: Oh. Mob: Thank you. Mob: But it’s not that either, Master. Reigen, giving up: What is it, then? Mob, wringing his hands: When you ask someone out, it’s polite to pay for their food. But Hanazawa’s appetite is so large and I don’t have a lot of money. There’s no way I can afford to date him! Reigen, suddenly haunted by the Ghost Of Restaurant Bills Past: … Ah.

(and that’s the story of how Reigen ended up sponsoring their first date)

Uncle Cedar and baby Becky bein’ cute doodle and RELENTLESS Cherie comic xD Cedar belongs to the wonderful @doodlenorth 💛 Cherie belongs to moi 🍒💣

Colored those doodles of Cedar >:) (first one is in his early 20's during his teaching years, second one was done a week ago and is his current age being late 40's, also a bonus Doc in a silly suit I found lmao)

We're gonna ignore the fact I forgot his arm hair head in my hands

THIS IS SO GOD DAMN REAL I GOTTA DRAW IT

i dont think mob will ever get taller than reigen bc he is a short king in my heart but i think ritsu would and he would get so excited about it like popping champagne bottles and crying and patting himself on the back and he’d go into spirits and such just to stick it to him and reigen would just not care at all. like he’d be like “wow haha hey mob’s brother it’s rare for you to drop by” and ritsu totally thinks he’s owning him by being 5′11 but reigen’s just like “shit what was this kids name again?????”

this part was so cool omg

I wanted to redraw a page from Reigen's manga

First is my redraw second is the original manga panels and then some close ups I liked
