have you ever wondered what would happen if c!aimsey, o!aimsey, au!aimsey, arg!aimsey, and other aimsey variants met? have you ever had the thought, man, this guy needs therapy! while watching aimsey lore? do you love hera (arg!guqqie)?

well BOY do i have the fic for you!

“Aimsey Variant Group Therapy” is 2.8k words of the most unserious but also sort of devastating(??) sunshipduo content. read it on ao3 and let me know what you think!

i had so much fun writing it. i hope you enjoy :] <3

I had to realize my vision from the other days textpost.

[sabh0]

What's your opinion on the anime? I find it pretty funny, but I can't say that I am not disappointed to see so many scenes missing.

For exemple, I wanted to see Dazai cry laugh at Chuuya's young mistress act, show that it was a joke shared by both of them, rather than one made to us at the expense of Chuuya. They took a genuinely funny moment and made me cringe SO hard for no reason T^T

God i could go on for hours about how Bones ruined this series. I'm obviously thankful we have an anime adaptation but. Well just compare bsd anime to jjk one or smth and yeah.

I will be complaining more under the cut,,

First the overall writing choices:

-Deleting or changing skk scenes to the point im not even shocked when ppl think these two actually somehow hate each other.

-The way they portrayed Sigma. They deleted half of his personality and backstory. And just speedrunned the Sky Casino arc like if seeing that place was giving them nightmares. No wonder he gets mischaracterized now.

-Tachihara's internal conflict about belonging to either Port Mafia or The Hunting Dogs? Bones never heard about it. It's not like IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PLOT POINT.

-Akutagawa's whole character in the anime is just 'edgy and angry and bad grr'. In the manga he had some 'kind' or even seelf-reflection moments that were ommited in the anime. Like where he realizes defeating Atsushi didn't satisfy him (ship fight, season 1). Or when he gives files about the orphanage Director to Atsushi and says he won't fight him today because he lost someone impirtant to him. Sskk vs Fukuchi fight?? No scene where Sskk r helping each other walk. Instead we get Akutagwa just pushing Atsushi away. Won't even start on that last smile that looked more like another angry expression.

-THE WAY THEY CHANGED "DAZAI'S ENTRANCE EXAM" INTO SOME CURRENT TIMELINE EPISODES. IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY LIKE. THIS NOVEL WAS SO GOOD. Showing both Dazai and Kunikida's characters and partnership so well. But no. Let's just??? Put Atsushi there. Let's delete the fact this thing happened 2 years ago. And let's delete everything that was actually important about it, too.

-also some changes in the Dark Era arc. Like. Lord. Dazai is so much more emotional in the novel. His expressions r described so well. But the anime either shows him from the back at those moments (him finding out Oda was almost killed by a sniper in Ango's room) or just deletes/changes the thing (Oda dying. This scene is so emotional in the novel. From the description u can tell Dazai was crying/on the verge of it as Odasaku died. But in the anime he looks calm and then we get a far aeay frame and he just. Gets up and that's it yeah.) They also deleted the scene of him visiting Oda's grave.

-The way they rushed seasons 4 and 5. Just to give us an episode that goes further than the manga and has the shittiest writing ever when it comes to skk's plan revelation (im so angry about this u guys have no idea. I sincerely believe that if this episode never came out, the manga would go differently bc there's no way that Asagiri who wrote things like Stormbringer suddenly thought that some dollar store vampire make up will fool a guy who's centuries old and literally lived next to vampires. But well!! Seems like these two speeches Dazai gave weren't important at all and now we can just forget about them yippiee)

I could definitely mention WAYY more examples of that but this is already long af. Like guys. I know u cant fit everything in an animated show. It takes time to make it and all but. Bro. The character's in the anime r so shallow compared to their original versions.

.

Now onto the artstyle of the anime.

Lord. U know? It was actually pretty in the first 2 seasons. The official arts at the time were also really nice to look at.

No idea what happened later. Why did Bones suddenly decide that those ugly turtle smiles r gonna become the main thing in the character design. Why so many fisheyes. Atp sometimes i look at the official art and i go oh lord even i could fix it. It really feels like they draw some characters ugly on purpose now (Chuuya being the main victim for unknown reasons).

Tho i must say they have their moments even now. Some last episodes of season 5 weren't really bad, especially the Meursault part (love them for animating Dazai and Sigma dancing so well. And for that 101 animation. And maybe for the heartattack they gave me with 109 and Chuuya shooting Dazai so many times.)

.

On some other things, i really like the music! Bsd openings and endings never miss,,,

I feel as though everyone around me has such a bright future ahead of them, meanwhile I’m just there. I stick out like a sore thumb. I simply exist without any purpose. I feed people lies of my bravery. I realize, somewhere in my scattered thoughts that I simply exist to one day die. I’m nauseatingly ordinary. I’m one of those people I would see in the streets and wish to be nothing like in the future. Now I’m just like them; miserable, lost and unapproachable. Everyone around me will achieve such great things and I will always just watch from the sidelines. Always so close to actually getting on stage but never close enough. I think what makes me so miserably ordinary is the fact I’m me. Who I am has stripped me away of all of my potential. If someone else were to get my wasted potential they would surely make it into something great; something out of the ordinary. But I have been cursed with the most unfortunate curse one may know; the disease of being who I am. Being me has taken away from me every single chance I have had at doing something to be remembered for. My self has taken away from me my chance of living up to the title of the gifted kid; someone with so much potential and someone so interesting. Someone who mattered and someone I would be proud of. Someone I am not and someone I can only wish to have been. How strange it is to be anything at all.

pro writing tip: when writing a multi-chaptered, multi-plotted fic, get yourself one of those cork boards, pins, and a bunch of red string. pin plot points everywhere and connect them with string. it might not help, but you'll feel a lot cooler.

Listen, I know next to nothing about ARMY, but every interaction I've seen of their community with any community I've been a part of has always been so sweet, like???

Is this not the sweetest thing you've ever seen?

I love seeing people being passionate about the things they love, and something about this specific interaction makes my heart so soft. It reads like "Something I love recieved recognition by something you love, and for a brief moment we were connected and united by that love."

Idk man, something about people and their passions and the intersections communities have because of it genuinely makes me so emotional.

Hi! If lsts Lucerys hadn't gotten pregnant, how do you think Lucemond would have moved forward? How would they have gotten together, if ever? Is it an "All roads lead to Rome" situation where they would've still been sleeping together until a legit relationship (without any detours of dating other people)? Who would've crumbled first?

this is a question they both wonder about themselves!! and may or may not discuss in the semi-near future

i imagine they'd keep doing what they're doing in draconology, the smart and dedicated people that they are. luke eventually graduates. maybe he takes a really prestigious job or phd placement in volantis :) maybe aemond follows him there!! and they finally have a "wtf are we doing" conversation (maybe aemond follows him a few different places, all while swearing up and down he isn't, until they get around to it)

they have naerys, aerea, and baelon as surprise fraternal triplets in their early 30s <3 miraculously with the same appearances and personalities

i think its funny that im still really shy about the fact that i think romantic quackcicle is reductive to c!quackity's character in a way that personally grates me and not in the common discourse interpretation of "u only hate the /r because you dont think c!slime can be romantic " (not a question of c!slime its entirely abt what i personall think makes c!q's arc satisfying which is trope subversion bla bla bla).

bc like first of all i dont think abt dsmp as much second of all who gives a shit its been like two years. i am like busy in life people have jobs this is not on anyones minds but i still fear the almighty discourse God bless. anyway i put stuff in tags i really hurt my hands somehow so i cant type w as mjuch dextertiy so work w me and the typos

salty or sweet snacks? crunchy or soft? any food textures you don't like?

Wah, why the sudden influx of questions? Salty or sweet? Crunchy or soft? The food adjectives whirled in her mind like eggs whisked in a bowl. Uh, that honestly depended!Though, lightly clasping her hands behind her back, Chiyori decided to approach the quandary from a different angle.

Bending slightly at her waist, dark hair brushed over her shoulder as she tipped her head to the side. “Why, anon? Are you planning on getting me something?” A cryptic smile danced at the edges of her mouth, intonation rising and falling in a gentle song. “I can tell you if you treat me.”

(If dear anon really wanted to know though, Chiyori never really cherished the taste, or the strange soggy texture of edamame beans. As unhealthy as it could be in uncontrolled amounts, takoyaki with its delicious octopus filling, would always be a win in her book).
