#but I NEEDED to get this outta my head

Honest to god can I put yall on a crack ship I think about a lot?

Idk what the fuck it is but I believe Rei would like him... Hed have such a different energy from Enji (ew i just typed that lol) that she'd be afraid of at first but I think very slowly she'd open up. Like bro, it doesn't even have to be romantic I think they could be buddies, she'd probably find comfort in him, a lot more comfort than she thought she would.

I personally head cannon that FG knew about what Endeavor was doing (at least to some extent) because one fateful night either Rei called or one of the older kids called the police and FG (who worked closely with the police at the time/is heavily implied to have been part of the force at some point) responded to the call but Enji was able to bribe the other responding officers/the chief officer or something and every time Fatgum tried opening/reopening a case after that he was shot down unusually quickly so despite wanting to do something he just wasn't able to...

I think he'd bring her flowers or little treats, He'd visit her and if anything he becomes a friend for when she may need one.

Obsession

“I don’t think you understand the extent I would go for you,” Villain murmured, running his coarse thumb over Hero’s lips, slicking them with the blood of Hero’s allies. “They were going to turn you into me, betray you to save their own pathetic, worthless lives.”

Hero trembled in the arms of Villain, who looked like a god of blood with how violently and gruesome he killed all of Hero’s teammates. How he didn’t bat an eye or flinch when he got to Hero and scooped them up in his arms and cradled them to his chest like a vengeful angel.

“I will never let anyone hurt you, Hero. It’s become…” Villain trailed off and then laughed. “Well, it’s interfering a little with my work. You know yourself, chain of command, orders from the boss I ignore to protect you.”

Hero shivered as Villain pressed a kiss to Hero’s temple. How could something so gentle feel so threatening?

“But I can’t help it. You are the most exquisite thing I’ve ever set my eyes on,” Villain murmured, tightening his arms around Hero and squeezing them closer. “And I will make sure everyone knows exactly who you belong to.”

Ykw pisses me off? When canon shippers think they can shame people for shipping whateva the fuck they want. Like get your head out of your ass you boring ass raccoon.

You don't need to shame or put any other ship down in the name of a) "it's weird" b) "it's not canon! It will never be!" c) "this is some white propaganda bigotry blah blah blah"

Who tf are you to call a ship weird? You're the weird one trying to make these judgments about fictional characters. THEY ARE FICTIONAL for godsake. And people who don't ship canon pairs KNOW that they're pair isn't canon, so sit the fuck down. Stop politicizing fiction, please like literally stop not every thing has to be politics let people have fun with what they want and let people ship whatever pair that they want to ship without being called a racist or a bigot.

I am writing this post because I recently saw a take on Twitter where someone was saying that shipping Pen with other btons is some bigotry. I get that it was directed towards people who hate woc BUT WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE POLITICS. LIKE AS A WOC MYSELF, MY FIRST THOUGHT IS NOT "oh they fucking hate woc cus they hate xyz" When someone dislikes a woc character. Like please touch some grass and get help.

still imagining the snails as like. horrible snailish doppelgängers, trudging towards you as harbingers of your inevitable death, which made me think of the movie “lake mungo” and made me want to draw that moment. didn’t really go into it planning to draw gem but i can’t stop thinking about how horrifying the relationship she had with her “snail” would be if it were a humanoid snail/corpse abomination instead of just a snail

Since this is nagging at me, and the point of contention in Shuichi's background and 'style of detective' is being... kind of a pain in the arse, to put it lightly, let me try to lay out the odd situation with his detective background as plainly - and, as fairly - as I can. Here goes:

He did detective stuff as a favour to his uncle, that is, was not a formal detective but an apprentice to one. It's likely he wasn't constrained to roles, in this respect.

His tasks involved catching out cheating partners, finding lost pets and eventually, finding runaways. The latter of which - according to his uncle - was a 'preventative measure', to stop them before crime occurs. Shuichi's job was, explicitly, to stop them before it got to that.

He picked up a motto from his uncle, the 'coffee stains on someone's shirt' metaphor. Extraordinarily vague, and one he used in the context of a 'heavy burden' when talking with Ryoma, but the phrasing can imply 'stains' of a person's (perceived) guilt. You could infer that this is a matter of catching out people who are cheating, but you can also generalise it to crime. What's more, the mixed ideas with this motto - that Ryoma was faintly amused by, thinking it strange - makes it feel like something is not communicated adequately.

He read a psychology study, whether purely of interest, what his uncle taught him etc. is unknown, but the key component of said study was how it tricked people- that is, into believing cold water was hot (this is especially interesting to me given that this kind of extreme trick was a theme for DR2's shtick likened to a 'fictional world', and he brought it up in the Virtual World, which DR2 was based in, and Shuichi declares the game 'fiction' by the end, so it really does feel significant, even if not directly related to detective work). So, we're talking some applied psychology, here. Hold that thought...

Shuichi is a good liar- at least, one of his skills is to sway a group into believing him, sometimes with emotion as well. In that sense you could say he's a good actor, which seems unusual for someone who's mainly a sheltered character. That said...

His uncle's policy on runaways was that it was 'necessary to follow up with runaway and client both', and Shuichi explains the policy as 'making sure both parties are happy'. If Shuichi is involved in this process, he is - to some degree - trained to work with people. Is de-escalation part of this? You would expect so, at least. What's more is Shuichi could not confirm if this was a typical detective's policy, just that it was his uncle's.

Shuichi solved a murder case. We don't know how he happened on it, only that it was 'by chance'. We know that lost-pet grade detectives don't solve murders, although the runaways part of the tasks was, at least partially, linked to crimes. What kind of crimes? We just don't know. You might assume however, that one such case could lead to a murder, particularly if a de-escalation attempt were to... fail (this is speculation as an example).

In summary: the extent of Shuichi's uncle's 'education' of him, is vague enough you can infer (as I did) uh... a mixture of things, with no clear idea of where the boundaries in those things are. You also don't know if this is 'above board' training that is typical of a detective, especially with the presentation of a murder case - something exceptionally out of whack for an apprentice to handle, although not an unthinkable consequence - and possible mixed communication going on between him and his uncle.

Also? You don't know how truthful Shuichi himself is being - to himself especially - since he's a known liar. While that's not proof he's lying about anything, it is at least a concern since at the least, he may have cause to lie to defend others based on feeling (and this is something he does in trial 2 for Maki regardless that she wasn't guilty of Ryoma's murder, she still had involvement in the situation, but the nuances of that aren't the point here).

Anyways, how this pans out in the game is up to you, but I felt compelled to clarify my own logic from the start re. this, since it does get kinda-

-from here in terms of my theory, so the 'making sense' can be hard to do. I hope this much is clear, though.

something something i think maybe a lot of people struggle with feeling empty and like nothing matters because every day on social media we have fake things thrown in our faces mixed in with the blunt reality of how humanity fails each other. and by fake things I don’t mean unrealistic bodies or skin care products claiming to fix a problem that some company invented JUST for you to buy their product (not that those aren’t also issues), I mean nothing is authentic or original anymore. Clothing, fabric, and toy qualities are declining, people are trying to create new trends to be popular but they don’t stick around long enough to mean anything and and I think young people trying to express and find themselves struggle to do so because everyone is trying to be everyone as fast as they can and if you’re behind on a ‘trend’ you’re cringe and you’re bullied. spaces and styles and media that used to be safe for the “weird kids” are now used as fast fashion trends and if you still like those things or dress that way when the trend is over it’s back to being made fun of for you. creativity is dying, children are being shoved into molds that aren’t even solidified themselves because they change every week when a new trend pops up. “this week we’re being alt, but it’s not really alt. oh this week we’re wearing beige, you’re still alt? why would you dress like that thats so 2020 of you.” you used to be able to hear kids playing outside but you can’t really anymore, and now if you do hear them they’re speaking to each other through internet terms because that’s how they’ve learned to communicate and express themselves because we have allowed the world to destroy itself to the point that online spaces might be the only places these kids feel safe, because it certainly isn’t schools. “kids are on their phones too much these days” look at the world thats left for them? i think people feel empty because nothing is real, even the online fandom experience has started to feel like it’s something that’s being sold to you through ads, and hopeless because how could you not feel that way when you open up tiktok and it’s full of how kids are scared of having their phones locked away at school not because they’ll lose a snap streak but because they’re terrified they won’t have the chance to say good bye to their parents? its so hard to look at the world and see whatever light and goodness remains something something everything feels so fucking fake all the time what if i just want to eat a polly pocket dress and choke and die on it like its 2008 and the world still has color?
