The First Time Tetchou placed Jouno above Justice:
The Airport Scene TM is so significant for SGK cuz it marks the first major instance of Tetchou placing something above justice (Jouno). And while it is a 🤌 of a scene, I actually think this was the SECOND time Tetchou prioritized Jouno instead of justice.
When was the first time? It was during the first couple years after Jouno joined.
As much I absolutely LOVE current Tetchou’s unyielding devotion to Jouno, I honestly don’t think that’s how he’s always felt. In fact, I think that he originally hated him and that these two were actually enemies to lovers. This gradual shift marked the first time Tetchou placed Jouno above justice. Lemme explain.
Jouno was literally everything Tetchou stood against when he first joined. An unfeeling, murderous criminal who was allowed to basically get away with it all scot free. Not even JUST getting away with it, no, this filthy criminal actually got REWARDED with actual Hunting Dog status. In other words Jouno literally escaped justice. Ofc, Tetchou was gonna absolutely hate his guts. He swore he would never see this murderer as a Hunting Dog. In his mind, the only way this injustice would be righted is when Jouno finally paid for his crimes and faced capital punishment.
But then something insane happens; the ex-mafioso actually changes. Tetchou starts to see him casually risking his own life to save innocent civilians. He starts to notice the very faint, slightly flustered (and cute) smile on Jouno’s face whenever said civilians would thank him for rescuing them. In just a year, Jouno’s dedication to the HD manages to rival even that of his own. And that’s when Tetchou realizes he was wrong about Jouno and that somehow, this man has actually started to grow on him. (Don’t get me wrong; Jouno does still have his sadistic side that occasionally riles up Tetchou, but it’s rly more of a minor annoyance rather than anything serious anymore.)
But that’s when reality hits him. Jouno’s recent change in behaviour still does not erase his crimes. At the end of the day, he should still be on death row. Nothing about this situation has changed; in the eyes of justice, Jouno is still a criminal. Tetchou should still hate him. It shouldn’t matter that Jouno feels just so fun to be around despite because of his cattiness or that he has an utterly adorable smile, or that he never hesitates to protect the weak, or that he’s just become so stupidly endearing to Tetchou that it’s honestly overwhelming at times.
And yet… it DOES matter. Somehow the thought of Jouno dying has gone from something jubilating to utterly terrifying for Tetchou. Try as he might, he just can’t see Jouno as a criminal anymore; all he sees is a Hunting Dog; a hero. But again, he knows he can’t like Jouno and still claim to be a follower of justice.
And so, Tetchou decides to make an exception to his justice philosophy. Realizing that he just can’t hate Jouno anymore (and rly, doesn’t ever want to) Tetchou Suehiro, CHOOSES to place his love for his beloved partner above his love for justice, for the first (but definitely not last) time.
#bungo stray dogs#bsd#tetchou suehiro#jouno saigiku#hunting dogs bsd#suegiku#god we are literally STARVED of SGK content#it’s honestly just so unfair lol#I also had like a little side note I was gonna add but that got so stupidly big i decided to make it its own post rather than make u guys#suffer even more lol#I’ll hopefully be posting that ‘side note’ soon (maybe)#I’m writing about SGK at 3am again…#what. a. surprise.#I love Suegiku#Enemies-to-lovers SGK my beloved#(even tho I’m not even that big of a fan of Enemies-to-Lovers tbh lol#it just ✨works✨ here for some reason#I absolutely NEED more SGK backstory-

Bought one of my lil nephew giannis shoes for his birthday bcs he loves giannis and these are some of the ugliest fucking things I have ever laid my eyes on in my life. anyways it's his bday today so i gave them to him. but they are so ugly. he loves them
#i am not a sneakerhead#i wish i could be . finacially i can be. but mentally i cannot#i am not a car guy either. i could. but i cant mentally#bcs the only time id get smthing pretty is to look at it. and keep it safe#and then id want to km$ for not using smthing thats intended to be used bcs i hate wasted potential#once i got these rlly nice shoes#ive worn them once when i was trying them on#and i hate myself every day for doing that but also i just cant get them dirty#BUT I HATE THAT#some ppl can do that. they get a million things and only use it once and yea i COULD but psychologically i just CANT#im friends with a lot of sneakerheads and chain wearers and while i cant mentally make myself one#i can understand why they can#like ppl always wanna excuse not helping ppl by pointing at the stuff they already have#like oh u can buy urself a chain but cant buy ur momma and u a nicer place to live#like ok so credit scores are not existent then. especially when ppl use that phrase against ppl growing into crime like#yes they are making money now but is it good clean money? no. thats not gonna go into smthing long term n hefty like a house#chains are a rlly big thing bcs sometimes some jewelers just dont ask questions. hence bmf's jeweler getting roped into their crime schemes#any business can be like that btw. like michael jacksons doctor getting paid to kill him. the difficulty lvl just changes#and also. random ppl make fun of the stuff they can see or hear right in front of them#random ppl can and will make u feel bad abt any little thing they know or see the best bcs theyre assholes like that#u wear shoes all the time everywhere. thats more and more eyes noticing how old/dirty ur shoes are#or ur cars old n busted or ur phones a fucking android like it doesnt matter. the more ppl can see. the more theyll know#the more sensitive u get abt whats actually small to u at the start but big 2 them n then it gets big 2 u#anyways yea so like. i get it. i dont do it but i can see why others do#anyways yea these shoes are so ugly lol like i dont buy merch of my favs unless the style matches mine personally#he just liked them bcs they were giannis tbh n then i pointed out they were modeled after 1 of the jerseys#which made he rlly want them a while back so i surprised him today#but yea these things are ugly lol im glad he likes them but ew LMFAO

genuinely this is nobody on this site, this is a twitter thing. but some of yall take random users shipping things you dont like waaaaay too seriously
#our t#yes this is about dirkroxy and the ppl who dont like it#which is understandible i mean we dont like the majority of dirkroxy stuff bc of our own reasons of which there are many#but its still a ship we like exploring *because* its fucked up and messy as shit esp in post-canon/hsbc#like holy smokes meat!roxys transition would complicate shit that is already complicated and largely left there untangled#bc 1) dirk just REFUSES to aknowledge that roxy's harassment fucked him up that bad (or at all tbh) and#2) roxy probably thinks theyve 'moved past it' bc he already talked (to jake) abt how guilty they feel abt it and roxy is#just that kinda person. theyre avoidant as shit and dirk is as well#i would NOT be surprised if there were leftover feelings of 'whats wrong w/ me now then' in roxy. he is that kind of guy#and again i COMPLETELY understand why a lotta fans wouldnt want to touch that. but its JUST FICTION. ITS FAN EXPLORATION#BRO ITS JUST ART-AUDIENCE INTERACTION!!! PLEASE CALM DOWN!!!#a dirkroxy shipper isnt attacking the concept of gay men & theyre certainly not harming any. are you okay??? like are u actually okay#step away from fandom for a while maybe holy shit. it is NOT that big a deal#what happened btwn dirk and roxy in hs1 is insanely important to portray but shippers arent erasing anything wtf are you talking about#the source material is still there guys. some of the hsbc team shipping it isnt the big horrible oppressive thing yall think it is#shipping isnt activism. what the actual fuck is going on here#the privilege of being this pressed over what other ppl ship.....

Ppl are like 'texting gives me so much anxiety'
And then u start a convo with them and right away u see the 'this person is typing😀' dots and yr like
Okay sorry i have a folder for reaction pics but theres only like ten things in there. And this fuckin.. wojak. is the closest thing i could find. But uhhh moral of the story: go into settings and toggle all of that shit OFF, don't let them see shit! I've even heard the 'oh but then they'll wonder why I turned it off' no fuck em! Turn it off! Unless yr in an abusive environment where doing so would be dangerous, you have NO reason to add even more anxiety to an already anxiety-inducing activity! Signed: a very nervous guy whose text app just updated to this new shit and IMMEDIATELY turned all the shit off. bc I'd rather someone watch me take an actual literal dump than have them be aware of how long it takes me to text them:D
#this rant is bc of someone i know (big surprise)#they are also a very nervous guy.. like even more nervous than me in some situations#and like. idk if the visibility things are even what bother them? so i dont wanna overstep and sound all patronizing#all i know is they REALLY bother me. like 'damn girl u live like this' whenever i see someone with it on

Listen I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled programs with shoujo fan arts and (hopefully) some art fight art this month.
But for now, the green Finnish rapper man from Vantaa has taken over my hamster wheel of a brain.
#idk what happened#next thing I know Ive been fondly looking at pictures and videos of this guy and kicking my feet on my bed like a teenage girl#bless your heart Kärtsäri youve made me like goatee beards and wearing the color green again after i avoided those for years due to trauma#seriously i didnt expect to find art inspo from some random dude on Eurovision and then get so invested in his music that I wanna make art#not even Dadi Freyr gave me this energy and I listened to him for 2 years straight during the pandemic#(then again it mightve been due to him being my comfort artist so listening to him was my way of feeling normal in the world at the time)#(Dadi´s music back then was like a warm hug and a being told ´´its okay youll be okay you will be fine´´)#so yeah im quite surprised that käärijä has been my next big hyperfixation jfc#albeit to a modest degree because lets be real im not gonna be prying across another persons life i just want to see his concert clips#and the translated interviews people bring (thank u Käärijä Supporters in you we trust)#dia talks#käärijä

guess who thinks she had her first sub drop experience?
#guys it was horrible#like so so bad#i went from good crying to bad crying so fast#maybe it was my fault cuz what sane person masturbates to hide from their cramps#or maybe cuz i had my last one in the wrong place and passed out but had to get up and come to bed and maybe it would've been okay if#i just did the last one on my bed and fell asleep immediately#maybe this is just what happens when u act greedy#but like seriously#it sucked so much#i still kinda feel worthless and bad and i have a surprise test in 2 hours so i gotta get out of bed#and get to the centre before then#gonna go cry in the shower#my handsomest big butch dog#this has nothing to do with u#u were amazing and perfect#like kai istg I'll throw hands if u read this and think it was your fault somehow

i do love that vash is the Definition of high int, low wis. he puts on the goofiness to get ppl to not pay attention to how absolutely Bonkers skilled he is so ppl just assume he's a dumbass. and like. he IS. in some ways. he is SUCH a dumbass. but he's an incredibly intelligent dumbass. he has layers.
#speculation nation#focusing on the wiki page's bit that says his IQ is higher than most humans#like YES he's a rabid little guy (big guy tbh) all bark no bite least intimidating motherfucker around (until he Gets Serious)#but he's also like. legit super sharp. like Geeze it takes me by surprise anytime i see it#if any1 thinks he's genuinely stupid. Pls. pls. pay attention. he is VERY smart.#he also is the kind of stupid where he would shoot a hole in a jelly donut#listen you can be highly intelligent and highly stupid at the same time. believe me. that is my entire existence.#me projecting onto vash in yet another way re: high int low wis#im a total dumbass & make all sorts of stupid decisions. many just for the fun of it#like how yesterday i sampled the hazelnut extract. despite knowing FULL WELL that sampling the rose and vanilla extracts#made my tongue numb. guess what happened when i tried the hazelnut extract?#if u guessed that it made my tongue numb. ur right!!! i had to go to the sink to rinse out my mouth just like i did with the rose n vanilla#did i know that was going to happen? yes! did i sample it anyways? YES! this is the kind of chaotic dumbass im talking about here#sometimes life is boring and you gotta do what u gotta do to get ur kicks ok.#vash is an immortal guy living his life trying to be underestimated so he doesnt have to get into fights#but pulling out the Big Guns (heh) if it comes down to it. and STILL manages to be skilled enough to keep it non-lethal#the fucking Precision he needs in order to shoot nonlethally with his pinpoint accuracy is Insane#ok im a wolfwood girlie first and foremost but the more i think about Vash the more im drawing hearts around him in my mind#i think. im more in love with trimax vash than tristamp vash is the thing. i love them both but FUCK dude#trimax vash is just. hooooooooooooo boy#just like wolfwood. i prefer trimax wolfwood over tristamp wolfwood. that's just the facts#idk where im going with this. im just drawing hearts in my mind's eye around them Both now. there is no downside

Life hack apparently! Listen to a musical in another language when I’m paying too much attention to anything I put on lmao
#puts on a musical in japanese bc I watched it w folks like yesterday or smth and it’s been on the brain. idk if this is the same recording#bc I’ve already got my screen red for the night and am sleepy but um. :P#if what’s his name isn’t as dramatic tho it’ll b a crime. I love when a characters a bit of a dramatic freak abt things. like hell yeah look#at this guy sprinting down the slippery slope and laugh abt it#NEVERMIND IT IS RHE SAME INE U RECOGNIZE THAT GYYS FACE#< spent too much time staring at this one actor when we watched it lmao#also the opening up with big dramatic groan is still a mood#so like. familiar ish sounds but there’s no over-analyzing for me to do of how accents affect words bc. I don’t speak that and my screens to#dark to read the subtitles. surprise life hack! ideally I’ll b asleep before this loops but

#the way people wont let giannis feel any other emotion besides the one they only want to see him as is insaane#like they looove their infantilism of basketball players from outside the country#if they arent always seen as goofy and 'ooo whAts a VenDiNg mAchInE?@??!?? WhAt IS thIs .. PECULIAR DEViCE?? :O?'#the hate they get for showing normal human emotion is#yucky!!!! it's just not right !!!#marketing has some part in the blame here mainly with ppl like boban tho cus#while he can be a big goofy guy hes mainly more of a... 😭#his personality beyond that may surprise some people#it's easy for fans to forget their fav celeb has more personality than the pr probably allows them to show#but it's like fans with like giannis feel like theyre ENTITLED to this image theyve embellished upon his#nature !!!#EVERYONE can act a little like a child in an adults body sometimes!! once they feel happy or safe enough!!#they act like thats ALL giannis HAS to be for them tho!#like sometimes!! giannis is UPSET !!! LET HIM BE UPSET !!!!#n then his haters are always like 'oo so no dad jokes now huh?' HE JUST LOST AS A FIRST SEED ??????#of COURSE hes not gonna say fuckin DAD JOKES RN R U STUPID ?????!???#his goofy personality isnt fake. it just gets unfairly stretched sometimes by ppl whose views should be..#maybe contemplated a little more before putting them into practice#idk... anyways#wanted to show off this cute owl 🥰🥰 i love birds so much

on a semi related note there r like 2 specific times i remember expecting one of my safe foods and getting something entirely different and being SO insanely upset abt it even though the thing i got still tasted good
#the first my uncle asked me what i wanted 4 dinner while he was staying with us#and i said cheesy chicken and rice my fav food and he Made cheesy chicken and rice but it was like. a completely different dish than what i#refer to as cheesy chicken and rice and it was good food but i was rly rly rly upset. and i feel bad bc again it was good and my uncles a#great cook but i was expecting my comfort food and got something different#the other big one was i always get the wisconsin six cheese from dominos. and if i dont get the wisconsin six cheese i get the beautiful an#delicious pizza me and my mom named greg . rly funny story actually. but greg is basically. hes got ranch instead of tomato sauce and then#chicken bacon (always at least these 2) and mushrooms if possible for toppings. and hes great#and one time my mom was ordering dominos and asked me what i wanted and i said the wisconsin 6 cheese yk. and it came and it had ranch sauc#and my mom was like oph yeah i thought itd be fun to try the ranch sauce since we like it on greg so i thought id surprise you. and i#literally couldnt eat the pizza and i started crying over it bc i had been rly excited for the 6 cheese#but yes. greg is my goto pizza everywhere except dominos on occasion if they dont let u do rnch as a sauce we do alfredo instead#hes very trustworthy and i love him... we got him umm. the first time we ordered him was when we were doing my sleep study#so we were like waiting outside the hospital and we were like oh we should order something 2 eat since we havent had dinner yet#and we went to order and 4 somereason we couldnt get the 6cheese idk if like one of th cheeses was out of stock or something ???#but we were like ok lets just make a new pizza lol. and we made him and then dominos was like Ok what do you want to name the pizza#and idk why i think it was late but that question was like. HYSTERICAL to us KJADBJWABD bc we were like what is it a baby#of course now i realize its so you can like. have that pizza saved to easily order it again yk. but we were like idk.. greg??? so yes. and#im ngl to you guys idk if it was just bc it had been a good day and i was happy and like kind of silly since i was at a hospital#but that was literally theeee best pizza ive ever had in my literal entire life. istg they put crack in that pizza it was soo good#sooo yes anyways sry 4 rambling.

diversity loss! those ppl correctly gendering u assumed you're straight..
#well 'correctly gendering' they genuinely just saw me as Some Guy i think so automatically referred to me as he#anyway there are a group of usually four to five ppl at the train station nearest to me who stop u and talk to you about sj stuff and/or as#you to donate. so stuff like immigrant rights lgbtq+ rights the environment et cetera & they were eyeing me when i was approaching (to#potentially be stopped & talked to etc. i get stopped like. 80% of the time around there) but then turned back towards each other and said#something along the lines of 'oh this is so scary this is so hard he's so scary' and then didn't stop me to talk and literally as i walked#away (i was JUST past them some ppl rlly do not wait for someone to be out of earsight to tall abt them) one of them said 'his face looked#good (as in approachable & a potential Person To Converse With) but the rest of him....straight man. look at that blouse.'#the previous sentence loosely quoted but it was smth like that...........WTF DO U MEAN STRAIGHT MAN??? TAKE THAT BACK PLEASE I BEG 😭🙏#<<<<<< also they meant cis straight man specifically i'm pretty sure...which is the absolute worst part of that whole assumption.#ALSO what's wrong with my blouse.........#thanks 4 the gender euphoria though. much obliged 👍#double also i don't think i'm using this meme setup thingie in the way it is supposed to be used but it makes sense either way. to me.#TRIPLE ALSO we're just assuming that if someone is a straight man they immediately don't gaf about social justice stuff?? okay.....#i mean i get it but also big generalization. but also i get it. but also big generalization. anyway. in other news i found out my grandma#used to write my grandpa actual poems. like ACTUAL actual poems of the professional sort that she made up and wrote down herself to give#to him <3333#& more news though this one is not very surprising and in fact very predictable I AM SO SLEEPY TIRED. ZONK TOWN I'M COMING DON'T U WORRY❗❗#just need to read the newspaper (the mutuals' posts of 2day) and then i am going to bed IMMEDIATELY u best believe.

dreaming about opening up a fish shop, as if i would ever be financially or physically able to, just a dream that i will continue to think about forever <3
#im like not even hugely experienced just super super into freshwater aquariums and specifically nano fish and shrimp#im just imagining it and being able to own a shop and treat the fish and keep the tanks the way i wish other fish store would#and literally i was thinking god wouldn't it be just so cute to make up little identification cards with information on them for fish so ppl#can read abt the fish and its requirements easily#and like plants as well#so many aquariums in my area dont even have plant names or anything next to their plants#which i hate bc if i dont already know what it is it makes it hard to google#and u would be surprised by the number of invasive plants that circulate in this hobby#and i know the way fish stores keep fish is temporary but i cant help but think of ways i could do it better#like im still thinking abt how exactly id do it but id definitely do some sort of quarantine tanks set up bc so many fish shops dont do that#and i feel like itd save so much hassle in the long term to quarantine fish from breeders#and i would have like terrestrial plants out the top of every single aquarium and in the tanks some type of easy to manoeuvre around plants#and substrates in them as well#most aquarium shops dont put substrates in their tanks but i think itd actually be beneficial for them in the long term#like gravel basically works as a filter in lots of cases as the waste filters down thru it#like my goal would be to set up a shop where i dont do any water changes like in my tanks at home#maybe the quarantine tanks would be the exception just to absolutely avoid cross contamination#and id just sell little fish like nothing above 10cm#bc they r my favourite and i find lots of bigger fish eat the little creatures like limpets and shrimp in tanks and i love those guys#lots of variety of fish in the smaller types anyway#like a specialised store has a lot more ability to care for the fish better as well#i also find that my way of keeping fish with zero water changes works bc of a combination of light stocking in a big heavily planted tank#and that gets harder to do the bigger fish u get bc the tank size has to expand exponentially#crazy long rant here#basically im just yearning#zerofunposts

gonna show u guys a little opalescent highlight hack i threw together today
rainbow gradient above your main figure (i usually have all my main figure folders/layers in one big folder, so i can clip gradient maps + adjustments to it!). liquify tool to push the colors around a bit. STAY WITH ME I KNOW IT LOOKS STUPID RN I'M GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS
THEN: set it to add/glow (or the equivalent in ur drawing program), lower the opacity a bit, and apply a layer mask. then u can edit the mask with whatever tools you like to create rainbow highlights!!
in this case i'm mostly using the lasso fill tool to chip out little facets, but i've also done some soft airbrushing to bring in larger rainbow swirls in some areas. it's pretty subtle here, but you can see it better when i remove the gradient map that's above everything, since below i'm working in greyscale:
more granular rambling beneath the cut!
u could also just do this with a brush that has color jitter, but what i like about using layer masks for highlight/shading layers is how simple and reversible it makes everything. i can use whatever brushes i want, and erasing/redoing things is super low stakes, which is great when i often approach this stuff with a super trial-and-error approach.
example: have u ever thrown a gradient w multiple colors over an entire piece, set it to multiply etc, and then tried to erase it away to carve out shadows/highlights? it's super frustrating, bc it looks really good, but if u erase something and then change ur mind later, u basically would have to like. recreate the gradient in the area u want to cover up again. that's how i used to do things before figuring out layer masks!! but masking basically creates a version of this with INFINITE undo bc u can erase/re-place the base layer whenever u want.
anyway, back to rambling about this specific method:
i actually have TWO of these layers on this piece (one with the liquified swirls shown above, and another that's just a normal concentric circle gradient with much broader stripes) so i can vary the highlights easily as needed.
since i've basically hidden the rainbow pattern from myself, the colors in each brushstroke i make will kind of be a surprise, which isn't always great -- but easily fixable! for example, if i carve out a highlight and it turns out the rainbow pattern in that area is way too stripey, i can just switch from editing the mask to editing the main layer and blur that spot a bit.
also, this isn't a full explanation of the overall transparency effect in these screencaps! there's other layer stuff happening below the rainbow highlights, but the short version is i have all this character's body parts in different folders, each with their own lineart and background fill, and then the fill opacity is lowered and there's multiply layers clipped to that -- blah blah it's a whole thing. maybe i'll have a whole rundown on this on patreon later. uhhh i think that's it tho! i hope u get something useful out of this extremely specific thing i did lmao
