#Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable; you're unable to touch / Dazai

"Thought I'd be seeing you pass by here!" Dazai greeted with a wave to the stranger. "You might not know who I am, but I've seen you around these parts before! Though I'd get to know you!"

[clown-demon]

"That's great that you learned, and sought out help. I'm proud of you for learning such a skill. I've tried cooking my own meals, but honestly, I just find no motivation to cook. I never feel like it. Why spend time cooking a meal when I can just quickly throw something in the microwave and eat it?"

It wasn't because Dazai COULDN'T cook. He just.. never had any motivation to cook. He never felt like taking the time to cook. It was depression that really hindered his ability to do a lot of things at home...

"You might be surprised, but...Tanizaki-san taught me." He meant Junichiro, not Naomi, but she had helped actually, so technically both of them. "He's really good at it...and I spent a lot of nights experimenting on my own. I made a lot of mistakes...and called him over to help me fix them. They've both been so kind to me."

He seemed pleased with himself though. He was naturally a pretty good learner, but he had never been given the chance until now.

"They tell me I'm a god, I'm lost in the façade

Six feet off the ground at all times,

I think I'm feelin' odd

No matter what I make, they never see mistakes

Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake

They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above

The people blend together, but I would be lost without their love

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

It hurts me just to think, and I don't do pain

...

Lay still, restless

Losing sleep while I lose my mind

All thrill, no stress

All my muses left behind

World is below

So high up, I'm near-divine

Lean in, let go

I feel fear for the very last time"

was listening to 'My Ordinary Life' by The Living Tombstone and it made me think of Stranger Things!! :)

[sticker-mania]

Ok I’ve had art block and have wanted to try something and wanted to get input from other Black clover mutuals so here:

I wanted to make some little artworks of each of the black bulls with lyrics from “My ordinary Life” by the living tombstone

1. They tell me that I'm special, I smile and shake my head

2. I'll give them stories to tell friends about the things I said

3. They tell me l'm so humble, I say "I'm turning red"

4. They let me lie to them and don't feel like they've been misled

5. They give so much to me, I'm losing touch, get me?

6. Served on a silver platter, ask for seconds, they just let me

7. They tell me I'm a god, I'm lost in the façade

8. Six feet off the ground at all times, I think I'm feelin' odd

9. No matter what I make, they never see mistakes

10. Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake They tell me they're below me, l act like l'm above

11. The people blend together, but I would be lost without their love

12. Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

13. The people blend together, but I would be lost without their love

14. Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

15. When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

16. Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

17. It hurts me just to think, and I don’t do pain

I’m excited to do this, it’s gonna take a bit and none of the numbers have to do with order it’s just so I know which characters to put

Please give suggestions for characters you think fit!

@pcrplevenom

Her face flushed a little more violet, softly nodding. "I'd love to go on a date with you, Dazai. I'm free anytime, sso I'm open to go anywhere as well."

"You're game for anywhere to date? Hm... I wanna do something fun and make sure you have a fun time too. We could go to a nice cafe and chit chat if you'd like? Maybe end the day in an arcade?" Dazai suggested. He wasn't great at figuring dates out... most of his dates were one night stands...

[clown-demon]

"You probably get a feeling for someone though dance. Some people have a certain way they get a feel for one another. You might have that way through dancing with another."

Funny enough, Dazai knew right now Danny was playing a role-- was not being himself. The man was wicked smart and could figure someone out at a mere glance. No matter how masterful they were at covering up true emotions or suppressing their true self, the detective could snuff it out and know if someone was being genuine or not.

"I actually really hope we get to meet again. I'm stationed here for a bit while my job requires it. But I am hoping when and if I meet you again-- I get to meet YOU, not the character you are playing right now," the man spoke honestly.

Very likely no one else would be able to tell Danny was playing his character, but Dazai was interested in Danny the cat-- not Danny the Hollywood star.

"I have a burner phone that's connected to the service here in America, since my own phone Japan cannot connect due to different countries. Would you like it to keep in contact? Maybe we can get a cup of coffee and we can chat. I think it'd be more homely for me while here if I have someone I know, than all by myself, not talking to anyone."

"I don't really get touchy with anyone. Maybe someday, I don't think I'd really care whether it was a man or a woman. But first I'd have to meet someone like that. I dance with people all the time! But that's business, usually. I don't really make friends with co-stars."

A nervous chuckle, as the dance came to an end, and his arms returned to his sides.

"I guess I'm just kinda. Too much sometimes. I think it puts people off, so I've sorta stopped trying."

A very indirect way of openly admitting that he had a role to play. A character to keep. A character he wasn't supposed to be playing. Even now, he was forcibly toning himself down. Suppressing who he was. He'd have done that anyway, but he'd especially do so around a human.

"Sorry, didn't mean to talk your ear off. Thanks for dancing with me! Maybe I'll see you again sometime, if you plan on staying in the city for a while."

He kept that smile on. No breaking character.

"I don't wanna keep you from anything you might've been doing. Keep yourself safe, though. Especially if you go out at night. City's a dangerous place sometimes. It doesn't matter how good someone is at anything. One slip up, and that's it."

He meant that in more ways than one. It related to being in a dangerous situation, but that wasn't the only thing it related to. It related to deep rooted feelings. One slip up. One break in character. That's all it'd take.

Listen I may be going through my middle school playlist or smth but you can’t tell me “My Ordinary Life” (The Living Tombstone) doesn’t go hard BUT ALSO

The entire song is so ripe for fan edits.

Like I am all in favor of letting songs be songs on their own but also I value the art that is fan edits and THIS SONG IS SO GOOD FOR THEM.

The entire thing but like, just look at one of the final snippets.

“Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

It hurts me just to think, and I don't do pain

Stayin' still, eyes closed

Let the world just pass me by

Pain pills, nice clothes

If I fall, I think I'll fly

Touch me, Midas

Make me part of your design

None to guide us

I feel fear for the very last time”

Since this is my Hunger Games blog I wanted to point this out because HELLO❓❗️

So many characters can fit those lyrics, especially the victors. AND the characters from the Capitol (Effie, Cinna, Plutarch). Hell, even Snow if you’re a Snow sympathizer (I’m not but just saying 💀)

Fanart, animatics, fan edit, etc.

[my-names-kris]

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

It hurts me just to think, and I don't do pain

Here's my taglist.

Three songs for The UnTitledverse, Wings And Horns' original spin off trilogy and Far Cry The Silver Chronicles below the cut.

First is "My Ordinary Life" for the main antagonist of The UnTitledverse, Zachariah the Orchestrator, the "Hand at Fate's Table" and the second-borne Eldritch that is the center point of majority of the multiverse's issues.

"They tell me that I'm special, I smile and shake my head I'll give them stories to tell friends about the things I said They tell me I'm so humble, I say I'm turning red They let me lie to them and don't feel like they've been misled They give so much to me, I'm losing touch get me? Served on a silver platter, ask for second they just let me

They tell me I'm a god, I'm lost in the fascade Six feet off the ground at all times I think I'm feelin' odd No matter what I make, they never see mistakes Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above The people blend together but I would be lost without their love

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable you're unable to touch Is there a real me? Pop the champagne It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain."

Silva may not be aware of it, but she actually has a rivalry with the Voice, or at least her supernatural Third Eye does. Abridged explanation of the Third Eye: some mystical entity commonly tied to the human soul but doesn't necessarily need to be to help its user, usually just retains memories and personality to give some back to the renewed soul upon reincarnating so the variants of the person don't become carbon copies, however instances like Silva and Paul who don't have a soul (due to the circumstances of their "births") they instead only build up their own Third Eye to protect themselves, which gives them back their memories, personality and skills into their next lives deep in their subconscious, so while they don't consciously remember most familiar things they instinctively do and gravitate towards that. The Third Eye also has an OP mode and can enhance the user who is aware and works symbiotically with it in ways humans back in the beginning of the multiverse could do. Paul realized this and gave Silva some subtle lessons (never explicitly saying what it was for) so Silva just thought it was meditation to make her more spiritual with her soul or something and doesn't actually realize until much, much later in her life that she's powerful enough to kill a God if she wanted to. There's a lot more for the Third Eye but I'll explain in a more detailed post.

Anyway, the Voice genuinely hates Silva for constantly foiling its plans in some shape or form, especially by the time of Silva's Hope, as the Voice hasn't exactly made itself look capable of governing one corner of the universe to its extremely cruel and unforgiving superior. And since the Voice is very biased and hypocritical on why "a deputy woman trying to live a normal life is more deserving of torment and needless suffering than the the prophet who killed his daughter for it and the other prophet who gaslit, gatekeeped, manipulated, mansplained, manwhored and manslaughtered his way through life", once Silva becomes aware of the Voice, its on sight. Anyway song below:

"Kill me again, again and again But I come back knowing so much more Learning all your tricks I'll make you sick Because the truth is...* I'll make you quit."

"Try to stay [first], [have to] stay first** You're still good-good, admit to this Don't fight anymore, it's such a snore One more step, and I'll make it war."

"And I still love the way I "hurt" you."

"It's determination, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-yeah Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-yeah.

I love the way, I love the way I love the way you keep on trying I love the way (I love the way), I love the way (I love the way) I love the way you keep on dying."

(* = Obviously I had to emit Sans name due to that probably not being the Voice's name ** = The Voice is against Silva, and since Frisk is from Undertale, I had to adapt the lyrics here a bit)

A song for the unnamed original trilogy I'm working on, which spins off from the events of Wings And Horns, but focusing on two characters who appeared in it, unnamed but can confirm they're both women, with one being trans. This pair are the first humans to have ever explored the Multiverse, and the trilogy will be following their story in life, navigating the aftermath of the abolishing of the soulmate system, discovering + exploring the Multiverse, and seeking out the Wheel of Reincarnation in the Afterlife, while facing internal and external problems, the most prominent being the Mad Kin of Carnage himself, Discord.

"I'm born to run, down rocky cliffs Give me grace, bury my sins Shattered glass and black holes Can't hold me back from where I need to go

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Yellow hills and valleys deep I watch them move under my feet Stranger things, have come and gone To see the world and take the throne

Don't hold back Oh, I won't hold back

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run I'm gonna spend my time like tomorrow won't come Do whatever I want, like I'm born to run

I wanna see Paris (Hey), I wanna see Tokyo I wanna be careless (Hey), even if I break my bones I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run.

A winding road, where strangers meet To feel the love of a warm drink My body moves, it's speaking loud Don't have to say what I'm thinking now

Don't hold back Oh, I won't hold back

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run I'm gonna spend my time like tomorrow won't come Do whatever I want, like I'm born to run

I wanna see Paris (Hey), I wanna see Tokyo I wanna be careless (Hey), even if I break my bones I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run.

All these things, I've seen and done I live my life like I'm born to run All these things, I've seen and done I live my life like I'm born to run All these things, I've seen and done (I was born, born, born, born, born to run) I live my life like I'm born to run (I was born, born, born, born, born to run)

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run I'm gonna spend my time like tomorrow won't come Do whatever I want, like I'm born to run

I wanna see Paris (Hey), I wanna see Tokyo I wanna be careless (Hey), even if I break my bones I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run.

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh!"

[clown-demon]

"You know your denial about being cute only makes you cuter!" Dazai teased the woman and brushed his hand through her hairs. "Yeah you're perfect cuddle height. Nothing wrong with being short-- makes you nice to hug and hold~."

The man laughed and gave her a squeeze. "The lil cutie is defeated~."

She huffed loudly, cheeks now puffed out and exhaling sharply. Soldan silently agreed. Dazai had a few good points and nothing to counter back with. "I-I'm not cute!" denial hitting her, however. "I suppose I'm a good height for doin' thiss, no sense in me disagreeing." Body going limp, fins fully drooped down. "Ohh nooo, I've been defeated."

I feel like "My Ordinary Life" by The Living Tombstone would fit Adam is heaven.

"They say that they're below me. I act like I'm above. The people blur together but I would be lost without their love. Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable you're unable to touch."

Crying screaming throwing up, Adam performing this in a Rockstar AU

OMG YES!!!

Passes the vibe check ✅

They tell me I'm a god, I'm lost in the façade

Six feet off the ground at all times, I think I'm feelin' odd

No matter what I make, they never see mistakes

Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake

They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above

The people blend together, but I would be lost without their love

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

It hurts me just to think, and I don't do pain

@pcrplevenom

Soldan nearly choked on her cursed soup, a small cough coming out to act like it didn't help. Fins flared open, sharply exhaling. Speechless, for once. Muttering something in a language she only knows, calming down. A quick, but light kiss on the lips before pulling away. "There. I think I did it right? I'm not experienced. I dare you to try now!"

"Oh? A dare? Are you sure you're not daring me to try it just to get me to kiss you back~?" Dazai teased as he reached up and cupped her cheek with a hand.

"Well-- I can't exactly back down from a dare..." the detective spoke as he brushed his lips against hers before kissing her softly, parting after a moment hold.

He wore a big smile, figuring she'd be really flustered. "There you go! Dare completed!"

[micharedmc]

Uh oh, brain is going full-steam mode again.

Lily going down Vergil's path. Perhaps splitting herself too? I'm listening to 'My Ordinary Life by The Living Tombstone' and some of the lyrics are inspiring me like LISTEN AND LOOK PLEAS- Lily realises, much like Vergil after he splits, that she's made a mistake in her search for power. She was doing this for the people she loved to protect them but in doing so is at risk of losing herself entirely and even her demon knows this and is scared of such happening! Aforementioned song lyric inspiring me: "The people blend together but I would be lost without their love." She splits and although she can remember who's she's fighting for, the memories of them slowly blend together and she's terrified of forgetting their faces. Her son Jack, her brothers-in-law Nathan and Alex who supported her even though they can't always be around, her mother-in-law that accepted her as her kid from day one... And it's not just her human side who realises it! Her demon side realises this too, like "shit, i don't want to forget the ones who need me, who I NEED" Song lyric 2: "Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch." She KNOWS she's damaged and that she's screwed up in her efforts to protect those she loves! And though she's gained the power she's so badly wanted to protect them, she's wondering to herself whether she actually needed what she has, whether the cost of gaining all that power was actually worth it... And now that she has all this power, that she thinks she'll hardly be beaten by anyone anymore, will she still be able to feel like she could before? Lily is a demon, even with all her human blood. Demons thrive from battles, it's their way! We see it with Dante and Vergil, she felt that thrill with fighting Nero and swore it brought them to some understanding! And even with the stupid, funny little back and forth arguments she had with Jack... has she lost one important part of her that she needs? The thing that, despite its demonic originality, made her truly human? If there is no challenge, there is no fun, no struggle, no achievement or need to improve. Those have been a constant force in her life before and that's what pushed her on. And I can imagine rather than having a Lily's-demon-becomes-like-Urizen, her human half and her demon half go through trials to reconnect before they get split forever, or before her human side crumbles like V nearly did! AAAAA brain is pumping out ideas to fast

Edit: And omfg the shame Lily will feel after reconnecting both sides! Dante, Nero and Jack standing there as she appears together again after they fought to weaken her demon who, even though she wanted to reconnect with her human half, fought them all because she was afraid, kept a wall up to protect herself. Lily feels evil, but somewhat like a weight has been removed from her. In order to forgive others, to love others, to protect others, she in turn must forgive herself, love herself and let others protect and love her!!!! Once her demon half is laying defeated on the ground, we hear a weak whisper. Lily's human half walks up to her, nothing but sad sympathy on her face. Her demon speaks: "I'm afraid. I don't want to hurt again. I don't want to lose all I have again. All I have left is few." Lily's human half speaks back: "Fear is for the brave. Without it, we are all fools. It is a protective barrier, but it is also a wall that prevents those we love from loving us back. Let others in, allow them to shield us as we shield them. The wall we built blocks our family and friends out and we risked losing them of our own doing. I am sorry that for years I rejected you, made you feel desperate for the love I wanted. I love you and want you to forgive me as I forgave you in your worst moments. Let us love ourself, so we can love others." In doing so, Lily can heal the part of herself that saw weaknesses within her where there was strength left unnoticed. She can work to open up, to break down that wall blocking her loved ones out and accept the love she felt she didn't deserve!
