ok now that theyve been definitively cut can i just say im really mad that we lost this conversation bc i feel like it was really, really important to understanding the shigeo/mob dichotomy
shigeo, the whole person, is convinced that if he is his “true self”, people will not want to be around him. “mob” exists as the mask he wears around people, the “fake” him, the image he puts on to make other people happy.
“shigeo” exists as true thoughts and feelings and fears and wants he has suppressed for so long to put up this performance to other people. mob wants to go on keeping his “true” self suffocated, because he’s afraid of losing people. shigeo wants to be himself, even if that means pushing people away. but they’re both wrong. people don’t like him because he’s agreeable and opinion-less and doesn’t push back or cause trouble. people like him for him. he’s saying no one will ever come near him again while all his friends and loved ones run to the epicenter of a fucking hurricane to help calm him down.
that’s why reigen’s confession is what finally gets through to him. if reigen, this person he looks up to more than anyone, someone he cares for deeply, can be masking in the same way he is, and if that doesn’t change the fact that he respects and cares for him, then cant people accept shigeo kageyama just as much as they care for mob?

you know when you love someone and it's just like.. i would like to make some soup for you
It’s me again, folks. Do you enjoy good fanfic? We’re reaching the end of the line, but I’m here to hook you up! Whether you’re new to the fandom and diving into the ROTTMNT fic scene for the first time, or a veteran looking for content you might have missed, my hope for this project is to point you to something you’ll enjoy!
This rec list is the last of three and focuses on longfic in the fandom, with a word count reaching anywhere over 15,000 words. You’ll find a variety of fic here, from novellas to full-blown novels—some complete, but many still ongoing! Though it may be heresy on the streets of New York, this is the list you want when you’re craving something really thick to sink your teeth into: a sit-down experience exploding with flavor. Don’t have time for that, actually? Then consider checking out my previous rec lists as well!
NEW YORK STYLE, BABY!! ROTTMNT FANFIC RECS (UNDER 5,000 WORDS)
STUFFED CRUST!! ROTTMNT FANFIC RECS (BETWEEN 5,000 AND 15,000 WORDS)
DEEP DISH!! ROTTMNT FANFIC RECS (OVER 15,000 WORDS) — You’re here!
If you enjoy any of these fics, make sure to reblog and spread the love! Don’t forget to check out the other works by these authors; many of them have written multiple wonderful stories not featured here that are just as good. Additionally, consider leaving the authors a comment! I’m not always the best at that myself, but fic writers work hard and deserve all the love in the world.
With all of that said, it’s time for the recs. Let’s dig in!

Are you looking for some fics off the beaten path? Some hidden jewels that you are surprised you have not discovered before? Then look no further! This is a short and improvised list of fics from authors who are all amazing and underappreciated and should be showered with love and support! There’s surely something for everyone and don’t forget to leave some kudos and comments because more than coffee, it’s your appreciation that fuels them to keep going! Once I Was by @hellstrojanhorse Our queen of angst! Trojan has so many fantastic stories that beautifully handle rather heavy subjects. This collection gives us some heart-wretching glimpses into the apocalypse timeline and I can guarantee you’ll forgot to breath at certain points. Risetober 2022 by @mej2235 Mej is a brilliant writer who is like a cornucopia of ideas! She never runs out of them and so her Risetober challenge really shows her at her greatest with playing around with and deep diving into all kinds of concepts and prompts that will you leave wishing for more! I think we broke the time continuum by @havendoesthings This is hands down one of the most creative, fun and wonderful crossover conepts you will ever encounter! This chat fic focuses on the disaster twins and their counter-parts discussing all sorts of problems and ideas in server-chats leading to fun and moving interactions irl. Only a Hundred Days by @ashtreeess Ash possess some seriously raw talent when it comes to writing. They are currently working on a grander Rottmnt OC project but this post-series fic is a great teaser for their ability to write crisp dialogue and atmospheric scenes.
The Era of Tigerclaw by Moon (I don’t know your tumblr wefawefwE) Moon is our champ when it comes to creating cool Rottmnt OCs and they’ve created their own version of Tigerclaw in the Rise universe. Enjoy their variety of intriguing yokai characters and their own adventures!
Baby Blue, Flew Away by @ossadeaurata Our second queen of angst! Ossa’s writing is raw and emotional that draws you in with on-point pieces of dialogue and heart-wrenching character descriptions. My rec is a one shot she wrote shortly after the movie’s release and when I read it for the first time it was making me feel all the feels! For anyone who’s reading this (and that goes for those that I tagged too), feel free to add some works of yours to the list! I would love to discover new fics and there are so many that do not receive the love they deserve!
