this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

// @ofpowr asked ; we’re gonna die ,  so what’s the point ?

well, when he puts it like that... tetcho feels less guilty for what he's about to do to the detective turned wanted fugitive. auburn gaze burns into the back of dazai's head for a too-long moment before wishing he'd taken the opposite turn a few blocks back. maybe then he'd be back with jono and the others and not listening to the shorter man's complaining. really, if he were more concerned with dazai's feelings on the matter of the dog's skillset and ability to keep them both alive, tetcho would bite back a response of some kind.

as it stands, though, the bloodhound doesn't say a word as he sheaths his sabre and rolls his shoulders, stretching his back and arms out before a hand reaches out toward dazai without warning. a fist grips the back of the detective's jacket and lifts - dragging the slighter man along behind him as tetcho breaks into a sprint in the opposite direction to their pursuers.

it's not until they're at least a block away that tetcho glances back at his passenger that he deigns to comment on the matter. his tone is flat, almost bored sounding. "the point is that i have a job to do." jono will kill him if he fails this one. he'll never hear the end of it.

You haven't given up on others yet. And you don't need to give up. At the least I'm looking your way, Sakura. So why don't you look this way as well? If you do, I'm sure… you'll become what you want to be.
