I'm In LOVE ❤ Now Time To Add A New Challenger To My Already Long Following This :' )

Smoke

Arataka Reigen kept a packet of cigarettes in his left side drawer.

It was a new pack each morning, and a cheap one, bought at the gas station along with a plastic-wrapped sandwich for his lunch. He’d tear off the seal, toss them into the drawer, and pretend to forget about them for as long as he could manage. When Reigen would open the drawer, he would hesitate and think better, and grab a pen or paperclip or post-it stack instead. He did this again and again, sliding the drawer open and closed until the cigarettes rolled loose from their pack and spread around the drawer like so many blunt pens.

He could do this for maybe an hour in the morning until, antsy and alone, Reigen would finally pull the first cigarette from the drawer. And he would be quiet in lighting it, hunched in so no one could see. He would smother his thoughts in the first searing puff, then sit there silently, pulling long drags and listening to his own breath for company. After a while he would put it out. Then he would pause, and think, and press the pads of his fingers together in consideration before pulling the second cigarette from the drawer. He would light it, and pull from it, and listen to his breath, and think about what sort of people might walk in today. Whether or not he would speak with anyone else for the rest of the day. He would finish the pack by 5pm every day. It touched everything, and the wallpaper stunk like smoke.

Arataka Reigen smoked when he was alone. And he was almost always alone.

Q&A with Serizawa Katsuya (from the fanbook!!!)

credits: Muz🧂🌂 on Twitter

Q1. What are your grades at night school? What's your best subject?

A. I'm best at language and history. My grades aren't bad, but I'm not trying to compete with anyone.

Q2. How did you end up at Spirits and Such?

A "If you have nowhere to go, how about you work here?' Seems like other people got that offer too, but I guess I'm the only one who took it.

Q3. What do you usually talk about with Reigen?

A. Things we liked eating at the konbini recently and so on. He often asks me about what's going on at school, or about games and anime that are good for passing time.

Q4. Do you plan to keep working at the consulting office? A. It's rare for me to get hired, so I'll keep working there as long as my employment period lasts. I don't really know what I'm capable of doing, so it's enough that I have a job I can do.

Q5. Do you stay awake for New Year's or do you sleep when the time comes?

A. Awake.

Q6. Who did you talk to most when you were in Claw?

A. The President and Shou, I guess. They have very different personalities, but they treat everyone equally. I'm the kind of person other people usually look down on, so I can tell.

Q7. What's your alcohol tolerance? Do you go out when you're free from work?

A. I don't drink. Reigen doesn't either. We went out for drinks once, and we basically licked the surface of our beers before we started going madly at the edamame. Actually, Reigen fell asleep in the store just like that.

Q8. Serizawa-san, you're reliable and trusted by your boss. Give some advice to the rest of us working adults!

A. When you're just starting out, it's enough just to be able to say hello, thank you, and apologize! But doing these correctly is actually rather difficult.

Q9. What did you do with your first paycheck?

A. Reigen-san lent me money for my suit, so I used it to pay him back.

Q10. Is there anything you wish Reigen-san would stop doing?

A. At first, I thought he kept farting loudly and with no hesitation. Even if he's my boss, I'd hope that he can at least control the volume. It seems like that was actually the sound of the chair being in poor condition and rubbing against the floor, though, so hope he can fix the chair. Also, wish he'd stop joking around when there's dangerous evil spirits in front of him. Kageyama-kun says those aren't jokes, but if that's the case, there's really some situations I don't understand.

Q11. What's the most useless information you learned from Reigen?

A. He said there was a secret method to eating pizza without burning your mouth and then immediately burned his mouth. Also, there's supposed to be some trick to throwing salt around...? My school exams are coming soon and I'd like to remove those memories from my memory, even though I respect him very much.

I have had this EXACT same conversation with my friends XD It's literally my go to

this made me think of sans…

It has gotten so bad that my brain doesn't do its job of giving me signs until after 4pm XDD

Jeff: BLIMEY! Dis bloody Starman tosser really put on some kerfuffle... oi Ness, hit me with ya PSI-Healing, would ya mate?

Ness:

Reigen would start tweaking out 🤣

Old man Reigen gets bullied by teenage daughter

(Original)

hey what happened to Teru's parents? or if it wasn't revealed then what are your headcannons?

oh my goodness I’ve spent so much time in fanon that I can’t really remember how much we know about Teru’s parents in the actual canon of the story jkljklKSLDFSDF

there are a lot of theories about Mr. and Mrs. Hanazawa floating all over the place, and close to none of them are good. the Hanazawa parents don’t play a major part in the story because they simply aren’t around. It’s implied that they simply left and are paying for Teru’s livelihood overseas (canon/fanon mishap, please correct me if I’m wrong), but they aren’t a presence in the story and–more importantly–his life. 

Which of course is why so many people (myself included) practically dive headlong onto the “Reigen becomes the parental figure that Teruki never had” bandwagon, because he’s never had a parental figure in his life before, and Reigen definitely fits the bill. 

my own headcanon? Teru’s parents were freaked out by the “psychic” gimmick and with their kid being the target of a dangerous organization, so they removed themselves from the situation and left him to fend for himself. which he did. but he shouldn’t have had to do it alone. 

(and of course now, he’s finally surrounded by so many people that love and care about him, and he won’t have to be alone again.)
