#also why was i thinking about Cannibalism?

[tunamayuuu]

tuna i am so absolutely intrigued by kunicchou i need you to yell at me about them asap…. their similar values despite being on opposite sides oh god they’d be so fascinating

see the funny part about them is that they are both righteous people but the way they approach justice is so different. you'd Think they'd be similar because they're assigned the rational one/good authoritative figure in their respective duos (kunizai and suegiku), but they're just. they're so different the more you look at their actions.

ok onto similarities first, tecchou literally sees himself as the Justice guy. he's the strongest hunting dog in terms of physical strength, and he's the most Hunting Dog you're ever gonna get. he's the blade that kills upon command (jouno's command as we've seen him tell tecchou to kill yosano, and tecchou does so without question/complaint), and he'll punish evil whenever he sees it. the funny inclusion to this value is reprimanding jouno because fukuchi commanded him to do so whenever jouno acts out of line (has a little too much fun playing bad cop). he comes off as extremely rigid, in his blunt words, straightforward to a fault (cutting down a whole forest) approach to everything, and his will to exact justice onto others.

kunikida is similar in that rigid appearance. he's very strict about his schedule, is just as blunt in his words, his story constantly revolves around his ideals and how its challenged by the reality around him (especially azure messenger and cannibalism arcs). not only is he next in line for the director position, but dazai describes kunikida as the symbol/representative of what the armed detective agency is, more than any other ada member. just like tecchou, he also regards his ideals very high in his priorities, and he deems himself the only one responsible to fulfill his ideals. he will do everything in his power to protect those in front of him, even at the cost of his life.

in a way, they put a lot of pressure in themselves to fulfill the values they chose to live by. and both of them went through phases where they broke down when reality shows them that they've failed in upholding said values.

^ (plus cannibalism arc where he breaks down after the girl killed herself in front of him)

though they have a significant difference in character because,

tecchou will kill anyone in front of him, to punish evil and to achieve any additional goals

kunikida will protect anyone in front of him, and find a different way to fight evil

which makes sense! many tecchou fans agree that tecchou must've grown up in the military, or at least have been exposed to it at a young age. his job entails killing people for the sake of good, it makes sense why that's his ideal. however, kunikida, as far as we know, has been a regular citizen unaffiliated with the government. as a detective, his only job is to solve cases and uphold the law given that the ada actively works with the police. he wants to avoid unnecessary deaths, that's his justice.

tecchou will not hesitate to almost kill a child, because he sees that child as a terrorist who must be punished and is liable for jouno's disappearance. kunikida, on the other hand, will try to cheer up a little girl who's holding on to the bombs around her neck, and broke down over the fact he failed to save her, completely ignoring how that bomb was meant to kill him.

how they live out their values is so different and god i wish asagiri writes them interacting more. :( that clashing of approaches to upholding an ideal world is so fucking good and i'm seated....

also i'll be real i got into kunicchou cos of these fics, and they're literal perfection to me. i need to draw kunicchou actually hmmmm....

i think they'd be more qpr than traditionally romantic because they're just so? work-oriented? i don't doubt they'll find time to be together but like, as they are now, hunting dog and armed detective agency member, they're more emotionally involved in their line of work.

but if they were romantic? i see them as the type of couple to go out for dates a lot, fishing, eating out, visiting amusement parks, any public space is their oyster. also tecchou is banned from the kitchen. (this does not stop tecchou when kunikida is not at home, or sick)

I'll say "Fuck you, Dazai" any day of the fucking week, unprompted, with no context needed. So yeah, fuck you, Dazai.

However, and I can't believe I'm about to say this shit, Dazai may have had a tinyyy little point. Urgh, no, I hate that. Let's see–

I understand, for once, where he was coming from.

Dazai did not necessarily need them to get along, that wasn't his goal. Dazai's goal was a team that could fight against Fyodor. That's literally what he says, himself. He's also potentially looking for it to happen as soon as possible.

And as sskk show in season 3 Cannibalism arc, they know exactly how to work together, how the other thinks, how they will attack, because "How many times do you think we've tried to kill each other?"

Dazai deliberately goaded Akutagawa to attack Atsushi, because he was playing the long game. Pitting them against each other stripped away all the barriers that come with getting to know somebody. It was strategic, and it was a gamble, but it worked.

Shin Soukoku as a team was born.

Whatever the fuck is happening in the manga lately?? That's not Dazai's doing. Dazai has nothing to do with their actions towards each other. He didn't create that (though he may have encouraged it a very tiny bit).

That's just Akutagawa and Atsushi shining through as people and healing together because, as you guys said, they're fated and meant to be. That's why I think they should have a different ship name other than sskk.

Tbh I don't like the whole "Oh but Dazai gave Akutagawa the life meaning he asked for by showing him Atsushi" Because

One: I think that they were fated to meet in every universe idependent of Dazai's interference since they are literally, in every meaning of phrase, the ying and the yang

and Two: Dazai being the bridge to them meeting is exactly the reason why they couldn't just be friends

Both in Beast and in the main universe, when Atsushi and Akutagawa meet each other, both are always mesmerized by each other and interested in futher knowing each other until Akutagawa discovers that Atsushi related to Dazai. He's not bridge between them at all, he's more of the construction site between them delaying their arrival, if that even makes sense.

So it really makes me angry that people try to justify Dazai's actions with that excuse when there was literally no way of knowing about Atsushi when he left the mafia unless he's a literal prophet

I JUST HAD A HORRIFYING THOUGHT

(Tw for like, morbid stuff)

im doing a thing and-

Do-

Do the people of Slugterra,

eat Slug's?

Obviously not, right? Slugs are friends, not food,

But like, what if someone was desperate?

Or, idk was just a freak like that?

I don't know, man, I was thinking about Cannibalism and the French (as one dose), and this just sorta popped in my mind-

Wait do slug's eat other slugs?

They are omnivores, right? Like, they have teeth and fangs and can eat regular people food.

It's stated as much.

Slugs can eat regular food, but slug food is recommended simply because it contains all the nourishment they need while they are with a Slinger.

But when in the wild, they hunt and forage.

Dose than mean slugs also get territorial?

Like they form packs/colonies and stick to one major area, migrating when needed?

I-

what the actual fuck is my thought prosess rn?

WHOLE UP-

if slugs lay eggs, and that's a big if because idk how slug reproduction works -

But IF they do, are slug eggs like caviar?

This is a morbid rabbit whole I've fallen into, it's what I get for thinking about the French.

And because I can't be trusted with my own thoughts I needed to curse everyone else with it

Im sorry

Slugs are friends, not food [I repeat violently]

[cottagedreamy]

They're such a good duo...Pls let's talk about them more.....

[stars-obsession-pit]

Following an accident, Danny wakes up in Gotham City in a DC universe. Lacking any forms of ID or possessions beyond the clothes on his back, he’s forced to commit some crimes to survive. Minor crimes, but still.

And then he gets caught.

During the court proceedings, they come to the mistaken conclusion that he’s a Meta suffering from some psychiatric issues such as Cotard’s Syndrome (a real rare condition where a person holds the delusional belief that they’re dead/don’t exist/etc).

Thus, between his “need for mental treatment” and the concerns about housing someone with his unique physical traits, he is sentenced to spend time in Arkham Asylum. He’s under pretty low security aside from the anti-Meta stuff and has more freedoms than some other inmates, but it’s still not a great experience. Even at the best of times, Arkham is hardly a nice place.

Some of his fellow residents are decently chill all things considered, but lots very much aren’t.

i do not have reasoning i just want to see the arthurian knights as coworkers in a grocery store bc i think lancelot n gawain would murder each other over the correct way to stock the shelves

[havenshereagain]

Haven't done this in a while, but i'm sick so have more incorrect Batfam quotes

Tim: I'm 150 pounds of pure bisexuality

-

Steph: why the fuck would I suck dick in the laundry room, it's made of windows

-

Dick: that just sounds like cannibalism with extra steps

-

Babs: do you need help? Like, mental help?

-

Tim: damn bisexual I am

Steph: wait, what?

Tim: I was going to say "damn straight I am," but we all know i'm not

ive been so obsessed w cannibalism recently. its so intimate and romantic and i can never find the right wording to express that. when you let someone eat you you let them see everything. you quite literally let them see the real you beneath your skin. the one thats hidden from everyone but them. you let them see your inner workings. you let them dig through you and take you apart and enjoy you in the most carnal sense imaginable. you watch them get their hands dirty from your blood and you watch them enjoy it. i think if cannibalism didnt hurt and i wouldnt die and id be perfectly put back together afterwards id 100% let my partner cannibalize me any time they wanted

[spidehpig]

i haven’t even attempted a raphael fic yet and i literally have 3 cod fics i need to work on right now but i got hit with a deranged urge to write some weird psychosexual cannibalism thing with raphael & tav

[spaciebabie]

see i absolutely despise jimmy (and curly) as a character(s) but as a literary freak i can appreciate the way hes used as a story device with his relationship to curly. i could type this more eloquently but currently ive had a glass of champagne and i havent drank in like 6 months so my tolerance is low so forgive my writing but. jimmy cannibalizing curly. yeah.

theres multiple messages here, theres the message that jimmy is doing what curly (assumedly) did to get into his position and, employing another metaphor, taking the "dog eat dog world" saying to heart. and literally. devouring his competition. or maybe curly didnt do that. and thats what jimmy thinks curly did and so he aims to do the same. choose whichever one you like more they're both interesting storywise.

theres the message where jimmy "consumes" curly in some twisted expression of love. devouring curly so that he remains a part of him, an expression that he is the gold star captain and something to aspire to. admiration for something he'll never be and so he chooses to consume him in order to potentially absorb some of his skill or become more like him.

and then there is curly sitting there helplessly being devoured. its something he has no say in, not something that he chose to happen to him, its something hes become swept up in. he becomes devoured by jimmy in the literal sense of cannibalism, but also in the sense that he became so absorbed in his friendship w/jimmy he ignored his wrongdoings and ultimately led to anya's assault as well as the death of the whole crew.

curly and jimmy intertwined so that one is always consumed by the other. curly in a literal sense, jimmy in a more psychological one. i mean like its really quite crazy they did the "im consumed with thoughts about this guy and want to be him so i must literally consume him" thing quite well. when examining mouthwashing's narrative you find new things to admire every time. each little story element has a place in creating a wonderfully complex and heartbreaking story. its very well done and honestly something to aspire to from the perspective of someone who enjoys studying/writing literature.

all of this is to say i think that there should be more art of jimmy covered in blood and engaging in this cannibalism like the stupid little leech he is

my literature soap box subject would be that a great deal of the confusion surrounding Hannibal (the Novel) stems through a lack of understanding of gothic horror and gothic romance tropes, of which the story uses liberally between the titular character and Starling.

Look at that story through a lens of crime or thriller fiction and the arc makes no sense. Realise they're running through a gothic romance plot that's inexplicably set in the late 1900's between an fbi agent and a serial killer cannibal instead of say, between a deeply suppressed lady yearning to burst free from societal chains upon her femininity and the handsome, threatening man inexplicably enthralled with her set in the victorian period, and it makes much more sense.

the MW fandom so bad on Twitter that fuckin. jimcurly shippers say their ship is ok cause “they deserve each other” but then think youre a terrible person for suggesting that anya and curly like. cared about each other deeply and fucked up. i hope this fandom dies soon dear lord.

Jesus Christtttt I hope the yaoiheads die forever. Like. What the hell is it with people wanting to ignore everything there is to be said about Curly and Anya's complicated ass relationship in favor of painting Curly as a cartoonishly bad person and Anya as someone who didn't volunteer to take care of him in fucking terrible condition Despite Everything. There's so fucking much to say about Anya and Curly as people who were hurt by the same person and watched the other be hurt by the same person and ended up stuck together at rock fucking bottom in that nurse's room but nobody wants to talk about that because there's "good" abuse victims and "bad" abuse victims and they can't have any attachment to each other even if they do in text despite ultimately failing the other because uhhhh no they didn't. I fucking guess.

in relation to my dungeon meshi thoughts one of the aspects of yellowjackets i truly loved is the grieved consuming the dead. every time someone has been killed and eaten, the first bite is taken by the person that loved them the most, and you are not only keeping a part of that loved one inside you, but they are nourishing you, allowing you to continue living. it's the ultimate act of love, and being loved.

the duality of misao being one of the few psychiatrists in arkham that has actually made progress with some of their patients and treats them like human beings, but also someone who does a complete 180° later + EATS her patients and gaslights people who ask about them into thinking they were never committed there is currently making me go feral. like girlll why are you like this JSJSJ

The cannibalism perk really is the most worthless perk in the fallout franchise.

even in FONV outside of the morality game mechanics there is no survival mechanical purpose to having the perk. Even more so in FO4.

Like...even as sanded down and bankrupt as FO4 already is, it would be saying more if like, you actually can play as a Synth (you wouldn't know until like...MAYBE the end of act 1 or in the beginnings of act 2), and then gain the perk of Assimilation (or something like that, entirely replacing the Cannibalism perk) and just Resistance Is Futile Borg the fucking Commonwealth. AND actually have it affect quests and affinities of companions (and actually have like maybe 3 of the 8 or so companions in the game not care or like it to a degree), hell even giving whole ass new quests into the actions thereof.

In FONV it just makes everyone hate you. Like, villains, anti-heroes...EVERYBODY. Which...fine, that's how it is, but effectively it also just doesn't make a lick of mechanical sense to add such a perk without having like...a questline or side arc of how the Courier, the Monstrous Hero of the Mojave that they are, actually dive into like...Saying Something about cannibalism. While again, mechanically it does change how you interact with the characters in the game, it's...for the year and a half or less that the game was developed (it's still in that technicality a bad mechanic), it's literally not even worth diving into when it comes to understanding the game's story imo.

I feel like, more specifically for FO4, even modding the game for a more harsher survival mode it doesn't make sense to do so, because the baseline of survival is already fucked when you realize that nearly everything you eat or can eat is irradiated or over 200 years old. Like...your Step Out moment about that is that you're not irradiated, or rather, as the Sole Survivor, the amount of radiation within your body is significantly less than everyone and everything within the commonwealth, and through the whole game you're adapting to that level of radiation that everyone else has normalized already.

Obviously!

So with that said, even if you were to make food more scarce or harsher* through modding, mechanically speaking, you have radroaches, radstags, radscorpions (afaik they have the most irradiated meat to cook so...why?), brahmin, mole rats, Deathclaws, and possibly other animals to cook and eat, and until you can get the Lead Belly perk up to level 3, I'm sure there's still gonna be ways within those more hardcore survival mods that can still bring about some returns that are consequentially Not Good for the player character. And really only then would it then become some sort of in game litmus test for the player character to consider that eating a human is possible...BUT EVEN THEN...WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO EAT AN IRRADIATED HUMAN?! YES, THE NPCS THAT YOU LOVE (and some that you possibly want to fuck I don't know I'm not your mom, figure that out on your own) ARE AT LEVELS OF RADIATION THAT, IF INGESTED IS GONNA GIVE YOU...DING DING DING....RADIATION AND OTHER RETURNS THAT ARE CONSEQUENTIALLY NOT GOOD FOR THE PLAYER CHARACTER! (*more radiation, even have mods that make the player character puke for eating 200 fucking year old salsbury steak--I don't care that cooking it may make it safer, the Sole Survivor would fucking go through so much just LICKING the fucking BOX that the steak is in...let alone looking at it) So the question is: why is it in the game to begin with, even setting aside ANY AND ALL moral concepts and aspects about saying something about the Human Condition within the Fallout universe...why is it in the game as a game mechanic other than to just see a grotesque animation of a character eating another human being...and get some or all your health back?

The cannibalism perk really is the most worthless perk in the fallout franchise.

Is it a hot take to say I think Jennifer from Jennifer's body is not bisexual and is in fact a lesbian ??
