Description
““Did your powers get rid of the barrier?” Mob asked, brisk. He felt enveloped again in the man’s voice, protected by it. The nearness didn’t scare him anymore.
“What the heck do you mean barr—eh, yes, yep kid, that I did, uh-huh, no more barrier, okay? Stop talking about the barrier. Now are you gonna answer any of my questions or no?”
Mob curled his hands in. He stared at them, stunned. “Got rid of it…?”
“Yup, vamoose. Now tell me why you’re running around out here at night. Is someone chasing you?”"
…No more barrier?
Phantomrose96 finally got to a hint of the fluff she promised in the summary of chapter one of her AU fic, A Breach of Trust , this scene and the parallels to it were all so so good I had to draw it…! (I've been waiting for them to meet since chapter 1 of course I was gonna draw it DX)
Gooooshhhh I haven't drawn a full blown paneled colored (mostly) comic like this in ages...!! Sorry for the inconsistencies''' Probably shoud have posted them as separate pages but I wanted them all here for full effect
I'm just sooo so happy they met oh my goodness, it was about time! And aaaa the PARALLELS!! Mob Reaching out for Mogami and being denied comfort and love...and continued denial for 4 freaking years...and then Reigen. Bumbling, confused, exhausted, 'has no idea how incredibly lucky he is to be alive' Reigen. Finally offers that warmth to this poor kid within what, like the first five minutes of finding him on the street?? I'm not crying you're crying ;A; ughhh this imagery was really fun to work with too aaaaaa--I really liked the lamp post halo thing and I had to draw it ;7; (not to mention Reigen's spirit tag papers resembling feathers ) great hand practice too! I just...kinda went bonkers with the symbolism. Oops.
Ackkk the bandages are on the wrong hand though''''I noticed too late DX Thankfully she didn't seem to mind ;w;
Mob's nails probably would be longer than that...? And he should prooobably be taller. But I'm gonna chalk it up to extreme malnourished over the course of 4 years :T Damn you Mogami *wants to throw him into the sun again*
Haaaaa idk how to background but I tried ;;; Ok ok ok really this time, goodnight~

Oh my god my FEELS. ABoT is by far one of the best-written fanfics I've ever read, if not the best!
and holy shit I love your art style

Yup, hair tends to get long and tangled when not cared for after 4 years.

That fanfic is an AU where Mob was kept in almost total isolation after being told that his presence is dangerous to other people (the blood on his hand isn't his). He is physically and emotionally suffering from long-term extreme neglect. This scene is the first time in four years that he's come into contact with another (real) human being.

Honestly I was going to respond with just that (I...try to put all the context I can in the art description...c'mon now) but thank you for popping in to explain :')
(Also I'm being kicked off the internet for the day so it looks like so I can't get to more messages currently but there will be more drawing in the meantime >3>''''')

This is so good!!
(Lol, I see what you meant about getting some good hands practice with this one!)
I like all the ABoT-Mobs I've seen so far, but yours is my favorite because I think it's the most accurate. When I picture a kid who's spent four years rotting in a basement, this is exactly it, the hair that's not just super-long, but also tangled and matted from lack of care and washing, and the long cracked fingernails, and the way-too-small clothes. I think you got him perfect!
Speaking of fingernails, I think those are fine! I'm sure that some of them would have broken off accidentally, and I think Mob might have cut them with scissors or a knife if they ever got too inconvenient.
Aaahhh, Reigen looks so kind, I think it's the combination of the smile and the street lamps and the angle (looking up at him) and his cluelessness. Like, he has no idea what's going on here, but kindness is such a part of his nature that he happens to blunder into doing the right thing, anyway.
