Genuinely think the only way to approach art is to like the things you like instead of tearing down what other people like.
"You should read classics because those are real literature unlike that TikTok garbage." Bad. Turns people away from reading the classics because it makes them sound stuffy and boring and makes you sound like a snob.
"You should read classics because this book is amazing! I love the characters and the story, and it's so cool to read a story that uses different techniques than modern fiction does." Good. Makes people want to read the classic. Suggests there's something good in this story instead of just suggesting that other stuff is worse.
"You don't like the modern art? That's because you're an unwashed plebeian who only likes what's pretty." Bad. Puts down the person and makes them even less likely to be interested in this type of art.
"Wow, I love this painting! Look at the technique! I love the message behind it!" Good. Helps the person to appreciate what might not be obvious at first glance, instead of shaming them for not automatically knowing this.
"You should watch this show because it's so much better than that other garbage show." Antagonizes people who like the garbage show and makes them less likely to feel positively toward the show you like.
"You should watch this show because it has great writing/characters/plot etc." Good! Tells people what makes this show appealing and makes them want to try it.
"I listen to this music because it's real art and not that manufactured pop garbage." Bad. Makes your genre seem like an exclusive club of snobs that I don't want to join.
"I listen to this music because I like the sound. Here, listen to this song." Good! Shows me something good within the genre and may encourage me to explore further.
There's a place for criticism. You don't have to like or approve of everything. But it's not a great technique for getting people to like art. Hating on the things that are bad just drives people away. If you want to draw people toward something, you have to help them to appreciate what's good.

pushing daisies kaishin au #2
pushing daisies au where shinichi has been able to revive dead animals, plants, even people since he was a child.
kudou "i can literally talk to the dead" shinichi
shinichi's parents didn’t exactly encouraged him to use this power. especially not in public. they’ve seen him revive and re-kill dead plants and animals in the same breath, it doesn’t take a detective to figure out what could happen near a human corpse.
but a young shinichi is curious, a young shinichi admired his father, and a young shinichi wanted to prove himself a detective. but most of all, a young shinichi wanted to help.
so when he saw his father struggle in solving a particular case, a young shinichi figured that maybe asking straight from the source would help give them a hint.
the complete horror in yusaku's eyes shinichi saw that day made him promise himself to never do it again.
shinichi realizes later on that reviving someone just for a clue on the whos, hows, and whys of their death only to touch them again, to basically kill them again, is sick and twisted and the realization leaves him feeling raw and dirty.
he then decides that if he’s gonna find out the truth, if he’s gonna bring justice, it’s not by making the victims suffer a second death. he will unravel the mystery not by magic but by logic.
the curious case of kuroba kaito
hakuba immediately contacts shinichi.
“he was...a friend. if i have to gather all the best detectives to catch his murderer then so be it.”
hakuba goes on to explain.
it was a kid heist. shots were fired. snipers. kaitou kid was caught on camera falling, as if he’d been shot, but he appears a minute later flying away on his glider with not a speck of blood on his suit. all should be well however, a few buildings away in an alleyway, the body of kuroba kaito is found dead. gunshots through the heart and chest.
a simple explanation would’ve been that the glider was a fake activated by kid’s assistant as a last ditch effort to save his legacy and this kuroba kaito was kaitou kid himself. he would’ve said it out loud but by the look on hakuba’s face, he can tell that he already connected those dots long before shinichi even stepped foot in the morgue. that wasn’t what hakuba called him for.
“can i...take a look at the body alone?”
hakuba raises an eye at him but moves to leave without questioning. "alright then. i have to check on another friend anyway. she's been...distraught ever since she heard the news and..." hakuba's words trail away as his eyes unconsciously drifted towards kuroba kaito's covered body. shinichi patiently waits through the quiet pain that he sees on hakuba. the pinch in his brows, the tenseness of his body. he must've been a really good friend.
hakuba shakes his head and turns his attention back to shinichi. "sorry, i...its been a long day. i'll leave you here then. call me if you find anything."
left alone, shinichi carefully zips open the body bag covering kaitou kid's upper body. he looked eerily similar to himself and imagining his own body cold and dead in the morgue sent a shiver down his spine. shaking his head, he pulls a chair close and reads through the file hakuba brought him.
"no witnesses. no camera. not a trace nor lead to anything. just some reports on mysterious gunshots in previous heists that lead to nowhere." they were professionals, whoever did this, shinichi thought. it was not going to be an easy case.
he takes another peek at the body. so this was kaitou kid, huh. too young to be the same as the one before his hiatus. perhaps a successor? motive could be related to his predecessor. his mother hasn't said anything of interest. does she really not know or is she protecting him? he runs his hand through his hair. there's too little information to go on...unless...
temptation rears its head. the source of information is right there in front of him. one touch and it could open up new leads to the case. an immediate disgust twists deep into his gut. he promised himself to never use it on people. to never kill. his father's haunted eyes embedded in his mind. he shouldn't. he really shouldn't. but he remembers the anguished look on hakuba's face. if he was going to do it, this might be the only good time. any longer and his touch would not revive kid. and gone along with him would be vital information to catch his murderer.
shinichi heaves a deep sigh. he has never used his abilities on dead people since that one incident as a child but he couldn't shake off the look on hakuba's face. it was now or never. shinichi reaches for kid's hand.

Tumblr media
Pag 2
1: I'd answer “of course there are”!!
Tumblr media
Pag 3

but when we do meet

Manami and Mountain King!
Just a few minutes until they reach the mountain line!!
Soon!
Goo Hakogaku!!
Take it, Chiba!!
Tumblr media
Pag 7

It's a race of willpower!!

Huh!? They're arriving!? Wait, my heart isn't ready
Not yet
Not yet!? Not yet!!

Even though I'm not the one running

Oh, and you come from Kanagawa!?
Yes, well
That's amazing

Toi... ah!?
2: Huh!? Wait!? What!? Directly!?
Use the inside stairs... be caref....
2: Hop
Okay I get it, I get it, I'll come there
4: You know the other day... while I was running... a butterfly was flying,. And then I thought “oh, it's gone?”
And then when I went home and took off my jersey, it came out of it fluttering
What- you just came down the second floor so smoothly and started making conversation!!
Tumblr media
Pag 12
1: Am I not amazing like a magician!?
Boys are strong...
Ah, yes yes, that's true
2: Is that all you wanted to tell me? I've been asked to go to the audiovisual room to bring these documents

5: Huh
6: “Something he wanted to ask”
This year
Ah
7: “Inter High”
Tumblr media
Pag 13
1: You came to the Inter High every year
I didn't know you liked road racing so much, Class rep
I...

You even passed me a drink on the mountain last year
I thought

5: that it was because I went to see him that Sangaku...
6: lost
Tumblr media
Pag 14
1: I know it's unrelated... but, at the same place, screaming the same words
This year it'll be in Kyushu thought, so it's far...
2: It's small, it's a small thing, but if it gets in Sangaku's way
Hakogaku is going by plane, so it's easy
3: If he was even just a little distracted because of me and that made a small difference
(Win, Sangaku!!
Win, Sangaku!!)
4: Then I think it's better if I don't go this year
6: Because I want him to win
Tumblr media
Pag 15
1: Ah, as expected Kyushu is too over-budget
That's not... ah... uhm
2: …. yeah, sorry
3: Well, I'll tell you the highlights
There'll be a camera, so you can watch videos
4: Watch it
The first day's mountain
“The first day's... mountain”
5: I think Sakamichi-kun will probably there too
“Sakamichi-kun”... the guy with the round glasses
6: We'll probably fight there
I think
Tumblr media
Pag 16
1: It will be the culmination race of these three years
2: “Culmination”!!
3: “Of these three years”...!!
4: Such heavy words... this is Sangaku being serious
Culmination....!?
Tumblr media
Pag 17
1: We have to fulfill our promise, so I'm sure Sakamichi-kun will come
2: “Sakamichi-kun”... they must be... close friends....
3: I think it'll probably end up being our best race
4: A... are you close friends!? You.. you and that Sakamichi-kun!?
5: Hahaha
Well, I guess
6: Even though we only contact each other two or three times a year
And that's being close friends!?
7: I lost against him during our first year... Hakogaku ended up losing, so I resented him
But I was blaming the wrong thing, because after all it was because of my lack of ability, wasn't it?
8: Now we often talk after races
Is... that so
9: But why don't you send more texts to each other? Is- is he really a close friend!?
Of course!!
Tumblr media
Pag 18
1: After all we both “like hills”
Tumblr media
Pag 19
2: Come see me if you can save money
Ye... yeah
3: Sangaku's smiling face that day was incredibly persuasive
I really wanted to see you race
4: So I came
to Kyushu!!
5: But
7: I really don't want to move forward, after all
It's enough if I can just see him a little... from behind here
Tumblr media
Pag 20
1: What are you doing
2: Hyaa I'm sorry!!
I'm sorry for not paying attention to who was behind me! I'll just lean down a little!
Why don't you move forward?
3: Huh
4: Isn't he
5: a close friend of yours, and you used to always listen to his nonsense?
To... Toudou-san!!

rereading the nuca pink doujin and seeing yakumo tear himself apart re: his snake form vs his human form all this agony and self-doubt and silent suffering and fear of rejection like "if i looked less human would u hate me" , "if u saw me in my true form wouldn't that be horrible. terrifying. disgusting" , "if i admitted i want to swallow you whole would you think worse of me"
and i imagine him asking something like this to the crowd of clan members , who are , undeniably,, a group of Kinky Fuckers
they all smile with the serenity and carefully masked excitement of a horny olivine. masterful beautiful reassuring expressions (errr..... masked to different degrees depending on the clan member)
#yaku is in his head so much about that#he thinks his snake form would be gross right? right????#eiden might give me Wet Hole privileges when i look like this carefully crafted human avatar#but if i revert to my original body there's no way anyone would ever want to ..be with me... like that? right???#meanwhile eiden's just got that sly look on his face in the corner waiting for yakumo to make the proposal#i can't imagine any of the clan members being particularly freaked out about yaku in snake form.....#all the yokai are immediately eliminated from Grossed Out pool. like. that's them. they know how it be#then you got the ppl who have lived way too long to be shocked by a sweet little snakewife being more noodley than usual#rei and quincy fall into that category most likely. blade by association because . well. blade.#he's gonna make a Yakuchan Snake sculpture and it's gonna be extra cute so yakumo doesn't feel shy about his snake form anymore#(actually it's going to freak yaku out even more and he's gonna spiral thinking that he's uglier than he ever imagined)#(and he's gonna run away feeling more insecurity while blade is SUPER CONFUSED because he captured his cuteness perfectly??)#(eiden's gonna have to reconcile another misunderstanding. sorry eiden. artistic differences are rough)#and you have the general Kinky Fuckers like eiden oli and morv#morv won't care as long as you feed him LOL#and eiden and oli are just sideeyeing excitedly like. snake? snake??? can we. can we try that 👀#i imagine that the only people who might express hesitation at first are edmond and dante#eddie would probably cave though once he realises it is IN FACT still yakumo in there. and he can fully consent#(then we give way to Kinky Fucker Edmond. Welcome to the party eddie!)#hmm... dante... never really thought about him and snakekumo...#how would that even go DOWN? like what is even the siTUATION here? how did we get here??#dante catches sooley who has a tiny snakekumo in his mouth??? a tiny lil guy who was lurking in his palace for some reason???#hm. warrants more thought exploration. we'll come back to that another time.#nu carnival yakumo

My roman empire is the difference in how Horikoshi draws Dabi and 'Dabi'
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Smirking so wide his cheeks staples are popping out exposing the muscles underneath the grafts, staring straight into 'camera', carefully controlling the way he looks and is perceived. It's not a natural way of being, it's performative. Exposing and highlighting his grotesque scars. Chin raised high, looking down at the characters he interacts with and at the audience. His gestures wide and self-assured, throwing his arms out. He forcibly attracts attention, even the negative kind, especially the negative kind. A smug and self-confident asshole.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then he is off his Dabi hours and suddenly no longer filling the room with his presence. Gone is the oppressive evil charisma that had even the pro heroes scared of him. Now the hidden, nameless, hinted-at since his first appearance real identity is left exposed. His head turned down, avoiding eye contact, slouching. His wrists hanging limply. Arms crossed - hugging himself, a tell-tale gesture of discomfort. Curling into himself, making himself smaller. He looks younger, rolling his eyes and pouting.
Touya has run out of his social battery and doesn't want to be engaged with. He is vulnerable, the way Dabi can't afford himself to be. It's just so fascinating how his way of masking is putting on an artificially created Dabi persona.

(╥﹏╥)
#Some. Thoughts about the last chapter since yesterday I didn't put them down as I usually do.#I could preface this by narrating the odyssey that was my day yesterday but I suppose that wouldn't be very interesting lol.#It'll suffice to say I had to face a 11am-7pm long train travel while also sick. A lot of throwing up in train stations. Wasn't very pretty#So like the premise really wasn't the one of a good day#The chapter comes out around 4pm here so I calculated I was going to have a few more hours before the translation came out.#I open the translators account to check if they've got any prevision on the time the chapter is going to come out and IT IS ALREADY#At that point I was in a station cafe waiting for a change drinking tea to help with nausea. And ***THAT*** HAPPENED#Screaming in my cafe table I'm telling you. Silently screaming for real. Desperately showing the phone screen to my sister.#Wait I didn't mean to tell all of that. Anyways#Well. Great chapter (╥﹏╥)👍 Really one of those you already know will make history it was so good to read. Such an already iconic scene.#Insane insane insane. I don't think I need to comment further on the ss/kk but regarding the rest...#(Let me comment on the ss/kk again actually. That was incredible. I'm still not over it seriously peoples. Can't believe it's true.#What the hell. I love this little gay story so much. Ss/kk love each other so much it's?? Insane???? What the hell. I'm so glad for ss/kk)#Literally didn't process anything past the title. Like I wouldn't have been able to compute anything normal let alone something like–#4th dimension talk lmao. Everything I got from it is like there's Dazai?? Saying words?? And it's the Dazai in Atsushi's head I think????#The only other thing I got away from it is that Atsushi is finally getting agency???? To which‚ freaking finally‚ if you know me you know–#I've been rooting for that direction forever. I'm not sure about it yet (like isn't the Dazai in Atsushi's head still giving him all the–#answers?) but that's definitely the direction I'm rooting for#Then again for Atsushi to sacrifice himself for Akutagawa WAS his initiative and his alone. And I'm forever cherishing that 🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏#Reading the chapter again now... I have a feeling that the fourth dimension is something of a subtle nod to the fourth wall in literature.#All the people living in that universe (the bsd universe) are–#“three-dimensional humans [who] can't properly perceive” the “fourth dimensional space” because they're all characters of a book–#who aren't aware of being characters. So they lack fourth wall/dimension perception#The ending of the chapter feels quite abrupt. It's a little curious. Gives the impression that the author was running out of pages#Anyways reading Dazai's apparently nonsensical words out loud to my sister was very funny#“Feel strongly // That's what you do when you want to experience the past” is a cool line tho. I really feel Asagiri that time they said:#“I want to create famous lines. I love storing exciting lines in my brain. I love it so much that sometimes I even recite them in the bath.#I try to be conscious of making my lines stand out. I like lines that flow like a melody or harmony.#Lines that shock the reader‚ stand out‚ and are inserted at the right time.”#Ran out of tags but I'm noisy so making another addition
