I love how bsd is starting to bait us with death baits. We expect that characters are coming back so we are left on a cliffhanger of what looks like a death bait reveal that is like 99.9% a bait

AU where almost everything is the same, Dazai's still in the ADA, all that jazz.

But Chuuya's the boss of the Port Mafia.

Just so they can reunite and Dazai can look at Chuuya as he mentally puts the pieces together, his eyes widen at the site of the scarf around Chuuya's neck and he whispers:

"What happened to you?"

nobody see my vision when gem and the scotts vs grian happened..

he's not just swinging his sword but he also kick, punch, bite, headbutt everyone in there, he was going feral like some kind of desperate dog with no way out and has to choose between fight or die

that's why he get gem and scott so low, that's why in the end impulse have to lock his arms and make scott take him out for good, but even with that, he still fight back, he did until he ran out of life

as you can see my brain is completely rot

Chuuya’s ability is weird and idk how scientifically accurate it is supposed to be but I am going to share what I think is going on.

It’s not just telekinesis, it’s gravity control. But he doesn’t control how much gravity an object has but how much gravity is affecting the object and in what direction. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and it seems so me that when Chuuya touches an object it is affected only by the gravity created by his ability and not by the natural gravity of the Earth. But his ability is not bound by space, it operates almost on another plane of existence. Like when something is affected by his ability it enters something comparable to an added layer of reality. Chuuya creates enormous gravity only within that separate layer of reality, and as you likely know gravity is created by mass so he’s creating large amounts of mass and or energy whenever he uses his ability but it paradoxically takes up no physical space. To make it even more complex, it isn’t just one added layer, every time he uses his ability on an object it creates a new, separate layer, as we can tell from the fact that they move independently. To get the kind of movement he does it makes me think that these gravity layers are that red glow, and it’s almost like he consciously decides what point/angle/direction the gravity is coming from and it pulls the object in its own direction while being connected to it kinda like when you dangle a carrot in front of a horse to get it to move, a self perpetuating system. And Chuuya controls placement of gravity wells as well as their strength and can even make multiple points of gravitational pull act on a single object at once.

It fascinating and totally OP. But it also requires precision and skill.

[EDIT: just want to say that this post explains my initial thoughts before diving down this mind boggling rabbit hole and I will later post a more comprehensive and revised version when I’m done. This one isn’t entirely accurate.]

Being a bsd fan is so awkward for me rn cuz I simply stopped believing anyone other than Oda can die in bsd forever ago (hell even Oda I’m looking at with suspicion at this point). So now with everything happening in the manga I’m just watching the entire fandom lose their shit and I’m stood in the corner like ��cool😐 I wonder how they’ll come back🤔”

Like, I’ll get upset if the series ends and they’re all actually dead. But until then I’m just not buying it🤷

working on my capp siblings (mostly juliette tbh) analysis post and giggling to myself about how funny the montys scripted event is. romeo invites his girlfriend over and she 1. brings her brother, 2. insults her boyfriends brother in his own house, and 3. sics her brother on him like some sort of attack dog. once again in his own house.

how is your puppy? any good news?

hi! sorry i haven't posted publicly about it much, i have bad anxiety about "not posting if it's not art/people don't like that/will dislike you" etc, but! very good news. he did have surgery and a tiny metal plate fixed in, and has been recovering really well! he's pretty much back to 100% now in energy, and has a final xray in a couple of weeks! the cost was fucking insane so my family has started pet insurance for him lmao

world's bravest little man!! it was his front left leg which is still mostly shaved in this pic

Delusional take: season 5 is 6 episodes of Stormbringer and 6 episodes of manga adaptation

Had a dream where there was a 64-bit/Horror Visual Novel game about Merged Conscious, so now I wanna talk about it

Nameless protagonist and their nameless dog that you can name both whatever you want. Protagonist is 24, possibly enbie, and has a bachelor's in an unspecified area, but it's also left in the open whether the game takes place in the 90s or 2000s, so protagonist could have been born in either the 70s or 80s.

Protagonist suffers from severe social anxiety, so bad actually, that their mother had to step in and be the one to negotiate their house purchase, in whatever state/county MC is taking place in, but since mom is from the mid-1950s, it's understandable that she might have gotten some stuff wrong, so she ended up coming into contact with a supposed "real estate agent" that she refers to as just 'Angel', and since 'Angel' is heavily implied to be an Echo in disguise, that is supposedly the reason Protag has been targeted.

Protag's father is already dead, and though they have many happy memories with him, they also have a very traumatic one which is of the day he died, and what little their brain allows them to remember, they know that someone tried to break into their old house, and that their dad managed to drive them away on his own, but he passed away from internal bleeding before authorities could arrive. Whether or not this means that Protag was a target for the Echoes ever since they were a kid is left unclear.

The only possession Protag has of their dad is a military jacket, implying that he could have been a Vietnam War veteran. Inside, is a charged L9A1 Browning that must have been left in there by accident, and will unlock two routes if picked up.

All the routes in the game are directly tied to Protag's dog, since it is either a service dog, or is so important to Protag's life that it is basically a therapy dog.

The "choosing point" starts after Protag has gone to sleep after a long day of unpacking, and they hear a creepy sound from downstairs, followed by their dog's incessant barking. Protag starts going downstairs to assess the situation, causing their dog to see them and start following them, and for them to see Damien trying to get through/around all the packing boxes in the living room.

The "Bad routes" can be achieved by hiding in any room that has a door, or in the bedroom closet, but leaving the doggo out. One of the reasons Damien will find Protag will be because of the barking. He shoves the dog out of the way and proceeds to either abruptly slam it open or break it down, depending if it was locked or not.

When Protag wakes back up (game was a bitch and didn't specify if they're still human or not), their dialogue options will either be very impulsive and without thought, especially about their doggo, or of complete silence. Bad routes can result in either Protag being killed if Damien and 'Angel' are irritated enough, or in them finding out that their dog died because Damien accidentally kicked it with too much force, and what happens next is left out in the open, presumably for you to imagine the rest.

Neutral routes are apparently numerous, but they have one theme in common: Protag is turned but their dog survives. My dream didn't provide me with too much of these, but I remember the few that there were. 1- Picking up the dog and evading Damien by making large noises in certain rooms and then hiding in another one, eventually managing to reach the front door, but since Damien is still after them, a chase sequence in the woods happens, which results in Protag getting their foot caught in a random bear trap. 2- The exact same thing but giving the dog a blouse with Protag's mother's phone number sown into it, and letting it run outside to maybe find help, thus Protag is caught but the dog is presumably safe. 3- Hiding in the bedroom closet along with the dog, but being unable to keep calm, eventually bursting into a panic attack, which for some reason makes Damien kill only Protag but leave the dog alone. 4- Shooting Damien with dad's pistol in either the arm or leg, but since the Good route pre-requisit wasn't met, this will just result in him ignoring the discomfort and attacking anyways. 5- After Damien has made it through all the boxes, having picked up the dog or not, shove the largest pile of those on top of him and bolt for the front door. It will refuse to open for whatever reason, and Damien will get up quickly, so Protag shields their dog with their own body instead of fighting back, resulting in their neck being snapped (screen goes black and a crunch noise is heard, so I assume it was that)

Protag will wake up in their living room, this time definitely no longer being human, and Damien is gonna try and talk to them out of the TV, because apparently, up until that point no one was ever so "creative" in trying to avoid him. Even if less polite dialogue options are chosen, D won't be offended or anything, just assuming that Protag is still agitated from all that happened. 'Angel' does eventually show up too, but so does Protag's dog (through the front door doggy space) and that's the most important fact for Protag. They're probably still in a sour mood, no matter if they expressed it or not, but they'll go along with their new "Echo agenda" out of obligation.

Neutral routes are sorta like "training routes" so it's understandable if their endings aren't the most satisfying.

The Good Route, I'd say, is the one that most requires fast reflexes and thinking. Perhaps it is the true ending of the game? After Protag sees Damien midway through the staircase and the doggo notices them, pick up the dog so it stops barking and grab dad's pistol. Go fully downstairs, try to hide and be as quiet as possible until Damien has made it through all the boxes, then run and shove the largest pile of those (kitchen stuff) on top of him, and quickly shoot him either once or twice in the head. Won't kill him, but will definitely give him enough of a headache (haha) for Protag to run away through the front door and reach a safe space without him still chasing them.

Yeah, that's it, I don't remember anything else lol :P

Holy hell this is a cool as fuck dream??

That's really interesting that Damien is so present in it despite there being an established Echo being 'Angel' but also makes some sense-

Your brain made a cool game within this dream, Anon goddamn! Love myself some multi choice games, i could see it in a few different styles, like you got a classic visual novel/RPG setting, like say.. The Crooked Man! Or maybe soemtimes more like Life is Strange or Detriot: Become human in a more 3D space with quick time events. Could even see it within a more retro feel of the styles that Fears to Fathom or Chilias art games has!

Oh this is cool as hell!

Okay lads I hate (and I mean hate) to be the bearer of bad news here but like… if the captain wasn’t lying and barry in fact was real then… barry died guys :(

The captain, wandering the halls of button house calling out for his loyal friend. A friend who helped him through thick and thin—when the war started, when havers left, when the looming dread of war became too much. Eventually the whole unit starts searching for him, rummaging through bushes and scouting the nearby forest. Even the sweet promise of treats could not beckon the dog from his hiding spot.

Finally, the captain returns to his office. Under his desk he finds the small fluffy body curled in on itself. Lost in a deep slumber.

“Ah, barry, there you are!” He smiled with relief, placing a comforting hand on his companion.

The captain’s heart drops. He’s cold to the touch.

“Barry?” He asks, pleads, quietly. “Come on, wake up old boy.” A lump formed in his throat, the captain struggled to swallow as tears pricked his eyes.

The little dog’s body lay still under his fingers. His soft breathing had escaped his lungs for a while now.

And so the captain sat there, cradling the small creature in his arms. His fur was made wet with tears. Minutes, or perhaps hours passed. It didn’t matter anymore. It was strange, his time spent with barry seemed so short. From the day he brought him home to this moment felt like it went by in the blink of an eye, now time passed so slowly as he quietly sobbed behind his desk.

He tearfully breaks the news to the unit, and they all agree to give him a proper soldier’s burial. Taking the two shabby rifles and limited ammunition they had, a ceremony was held in the garden. The captain slowly laid his dog into the hole. Watching helplessly as he left the warm embrace of his arms into the cold, wet earth.

“He was very special to me.”

More words were said, but his clouded mind could not keep its grip on the reality before him.

Finally, the two-gun salute was fired and flowers were placed on top of him. A blanket of pale petals.

The captain alone buried him. Silent tears ran down his damp cheeks as each shovel of dirt obscured his only friend. Saying goodbye never got easier, despite the captain becoming used to it.
