[mblue-art]

Sorry for that question but I really curious!

What made you fell in love with Cross and Lust?

Tell us more!!

😳😳😳 hhuh what rreally,, , ,,, 😳 u wanna hear me yap abt my sillies, my beloveds,,, (i appreciate the enthusiasm tho omg 🥺🫶🫶🫶)

i want to have the yuris with lust and the yaois with cross I I MEAN HWHWAT 🧍‍♂️

UM.

haha anyWAY,, (oh gog this ended up long)

🍫—

cross checks so many boxes for me it makes me go insane. too good to be true. versatile(??)— like it's somehow way too easy to put him in Situations. (he's bf and husbone material??? just -20hp me now; that already kills me) he's. hh. gawddamn there's reasons why he won a utmv sans sexyman poll.

he's like a crush that you can't get out of your head no matter what you do, i'm so freaking down bad for him it's not even funny anymore. ever since simping for cross i have not been the same since. the man has changed me. the attraction/simp feelings hit me like a bat out of nowhere and i don't understand why it's so intense— i. hh.

,,i like when ppl make him dorky. stupidly silly (absolutely love shitpost shenanigans and would absolutely LOVE to get into silly shenanigans with him and with/without his bestie epic). fun to be around when he's deemed you as a good friend. stars, he'd give good hugs. strong, solid, and warm, the kind of hugs u don't wanna pull away from so soon. a little endearingly cringe. fanon simp cross is adorable and fun to mess around with. tsundere cross is adorable and fun to mess with. cute anxious guy under all that intimidating aloofness. when i say his smile is an absolute treasure, i mean that. his blush making him look like a grape or a glowing bulb is adorable and makes me wanna tease him more. anime protag/character vibes so strong i wanna have a cute bl/shoujo manga romance with him type shit yk.

then there's times when he's The Hot Dude and i think it's illegal if he's all confident and smug and dom actually (/hj) cause that makes me wanna fucking fite him HELLO? SIR? ILLEGAL????? (<- the fight or flight response of a tsundere towards a milder tsundere LOL).

-hp every single time. mf gets successful d20 rolls w/ rizz on me and i get a critical hit every time. it's a 50/50 either i fluster to death and become weak or i wanna fite his dumbass

i'll. i can fight him. i'll lose but i can fight him for sure. (why is he so cool⁉️‼️💢💢💢RRRRRRR)

he makes me feel things. lots of things. (mostly fluster but when i'm feelin sooper soff i jst wanna shower his skull in keeses. ima kissy lil guy)

tired cross makes me just wanna take care of him. want him to come home to me without any worry because he thinks i'm his safe space.

when he's being stubborn i want to tell him to chill out for a little while, take a break and watch some funny stuff while drinking choccy milk or eating his fav foods and be cozy. bapping him if he's gonna try to get out of this too soon. he's gonna get the free time he deserves n relax n get cuddles n kithes.

the way he can gently hold my hand and look at me with a sincere look in his eyelights and say something genuinely affectionate feels like cupid shooting an arrow through my soul, but also feels like a balm. (a promise of loyalty and faithfulness.) (a kiss on the forehead? a cherry on top.)

well now i can't be mean to him with all the nice he's saying and doing. i just want nice things for him o(-< (even if he's a bastard sometimes lol<3 all circles back to the silly) (silly is always important)

💜—

i love lust. so so so much. the fanon interpretation of him, anyway.

(don't get me wrong, i absolutely adore the feminine slay content of lust; but am i wrong for yearning for more masc lust content?)

i like my lust sans respectful, goofy, sans-like, an absolute sweetheart, and a caring, wonderful life partner. under the flirty personality and charm(ing looks), is a sans behavior that made me fall deeper. (he makes me feel very gender too) (ohmygofd yeah no he actually makes me think of gender sometimes rauauagrrgh<3/pos). i don't have to worry about showing my cring, weird side to him, because he's also a gremlin,, o(-< he doesn't have to present himself all nice and pretty all the time (although he's always pretty in my eyes). he can be comfortably himself; with me 🥺

i want to be his safe space.

i want to see him heal and be happy and be happy with me and give him all the love i can give and care for him and make him soso happy i just want him to feel SO sosososo loved, he deserves so much more

he's the only one who's able to get a certain reaction out of me; to pull flowers out of my heart. to pull out words of love and devotion and appreciation, heart bursting with affection only for him.

for him, i would try. i would live for him. i wish someone like him (the him i've created from interpretations and headcanons) was real irl.

i want to not care i don't care if he's a gorgeous well-known person that people fawn over, or if he's a campus crush, etc.,

i want him to think i'm worthy enough to keep in his life. for him to know how special he is to me, for him to know how much i want him in my life as much as i want him to keep me in his.

my immediate reaction when i think of him is: 😊💕💜💜💜eeeee kicks and giggles and flaps hands teehee

i love him so much i get a heart-on for him (/silly but it is true sometimes; love him so much it aches (in a good way))

[djsherriff-responses]

I desperately need season two of CLH I’m going insane right now

Unlike my Jade and Sarah posts, this one is a lot more speculative as I’ll be discussing my theory regarding what Bullfrog’s backstory is and he’s the character we have the least information to go off of. I may also ramble about other stuff, but Bullfrog is the main focus

We got a lot of Sarah’s backstory in the show already , Dolph had a manga dedicated to explaining his and while Jade and Pey’J don’t have much going on, we do know they’re a close “family” (die Pey’J) and any other details about their lives we can at least make some educated guesses based on information from the show and outside sources. Cody probably has a wiki dedicated to him or something, idk

Bullfrog though, we know very little on him. We only know for sure that he’s the last member of the Assassins Creed, a group who fought for freedom and has been in conflict with the Templars for most of human history

But maybe that’s all the information we really need to figure the frog out

I made a lot of heavy comparisons between Bullfrog and Sarah beforehand in my Sarah post , especially in terms of their colour palette and the symbolism regarding that, but what exactly could Sarah's backstory hint to us regarding Bullfrog's backstory?

Firstly I want to take a quick detour to talk about Jade and Dolph , which will only highlight my theory on Bullfrog's story

While the relationships are very different at a first glance, upon further inspection I have noticed some similarities between the relationship Dolph has with Alex, and the relationship Jade has with Pey'J

Jade/Dolph takes care of Pey'J/Alex's well being , with Jade taking care of Pey'J emotionally while Dolph takes care of Alex physically

Pey’J/Alex sexualised Jade/Dolph , Alex was a groomer. Pey’J , despite knowing her since infancy and basically raised her, has confessed being attracted to Jade. How Pey'J sexualised Jade may just be my theory that he's meant as commentary on fathers who partake in purity culture, I think it's still worth bringing up regarding this pattern

Despite how young they are, Jade and Dolph are also more mature than the older men in their lives. While with Dolph that's debatable considering he spends most of season one dealing with a lot of negative emotions and wanting revenge, prior to the betrayal Alex behaved much more cocky and playful than Dolph who took the heist job more seriously than Alex. I already wrote a huge post about how Jade is basically made to mother her own uncle

Alex and Pey’J died on the same night by gun shots

But the major similarity between Jade and Dolph is they're victims of men much older than them, and those men are fatherly figures that Jade/Dolph trusted to protect them

Jade and Dolph are , possibly not by pure narrative coincidence, both orphans too. Jade's parents are straight up dead and Dolph has no clue if he even has a living relative, nevermind finding out what became of his parents

The common thread between Jade and Dolph's story is primarily focused on non blood related father figures that traumatised them

(I got nowhere else to add this but if Jade is in season two, I want her and Dolph to bond so badly and for them to become friends and help each other heal. They deserve a second chance at a good life)

What does that have to do with Bullfrog?

Let's look at the other ghosts

Cody is a celebrity cameo and isn't really a character with narrative purpose , so can't really pull anything from him. And Pey'J is.... Pey'J

Which leaves us with the one who kidnapped these people to form team ghost in the first place: Sarah Fisher

Now while Sarah is a character whose story is tied to her relationship with an older man , that relationship is nothing like the relationship Jade and Dolph have had with their respective old men

Though the relationship between Sam and Sarah is messy, the two also have genuine love for each other regardless of everything that's happened. Sam , while a human with flaws, was at the end of the day a loving father who wanted nothing but the best for Sarah and her well being. Sarah , as twisted as she has become, wanted nothing more than to have her father be safe

Sam has never been a predatory person to anyone , much less one that's comparable to Alex or Pey'J and certainly not towards his own daughter

Sam is a father who'd do anything to protect Sarah, his own flesh and blood

Since Sarah and Bullfrog are meant to represent the Templars and Assassins as well as the conflict of those two groups, than Bullfrog's story could have a strong focus on his bloodlines. Both groups in the original assassin games have had a strong focus on bloodlines within their respective organisations

Side note: While I’m not an expect on creed lore, being an Assassin or a Templar isn’t always something you’d inherent directly from a a parent or even grandparent. While the memories of past assassins is important to preserve, you don’t need to have any blood relation to join the brotherhood. I think I read somewhere it’s actually sometimes discouraged for assassins to start families (at least while they’re still actively an assassin? Need to look more into it). So while I do think the theme of family/bloodline and their legacies are going to be part of Bullfrog’s story, he himself isn’t going to be picky on who who can join him in (hopefully) rebuilding the brotherhood, it just adds to the already high amount of pressure the guy is under

Based on the deciphering on Bullfrog's mugshot, people have managed to make out that his full name may be "Bullfrog Korvin Jr". While some argue Bullfrog's surname may be "Kermit" instead, the Junior part of the name is easy to make out

Bullfrog Junior implies that there's a Bullfrog Senior for a little tadpole to be named after

I wanna point out as well that hybrid children exist in this universe and are seen along side human children, ( I'm assuming this is a field trip or something?). So while hybrids were created to fulfil a purpose in Eden , they can still get together and start families like any other hard working American Eden couple and if they're lucky their children can be involved in society along with human children, such as school activities

If I am onto something regarding Regan being in the Templar order and her being the reason Sarah has the ideals that she ended up having in the show , than it's my belief Bullfrog's story will parallel with Sarah in that regard and that Bullfrog had an Assassin parent, and that Assassin parent is the person who gave, or at least inspired, the beliefs Bullfrog holds on to in the show

This may be wishful thinking, but I'm gonna believe until proven otherwise that it was specifically Bullfrog's mother that was the Assassin parent

Besides wanting more women in this show I do actually have reasons to think Bullfrog's mother is the parent who passed on the assassin legacy to him, rather than his father

If Sarah and Bullfrog story's parallel each other , and the two are meant to represent the conflict between Templars and Assassins, how does Sam fit into that?

Simple: Sam doesn't

While it's entirely possible that Sam could've learned about the existence of the Assassin brotherhood before he died, we know that he had no knowledge of either the Assassins or their conflict with the Templars when Sarah was growing up. If he did, he would've been far more vigilant about the propaganda that was brainwashing his own kid, even if Regan was directly feeding it into Sarah’s brain

At most, we can take a guess the earliest Sam could've learned anything about the Assassins was some time after he lost custody of Sarah when she snitched on the watch dogs, and that's just a guess on the earliest he could've discovered them. Depending on how open they were in their involvement with the wasteland war or if they were even "public" at all in Eden prior to Bullfrog becoming the only member of the brotherhood, Sam may have died completely unaware of the mere existence of the Assassins

In other words, Sam was pretty much in the dark about the Templars and that side of Sarah’s lineage

Going off of this and my theory that Sarah and Bullfrog’s stories are meant to be parallels of one another, it stands to reason that Bullfrog Senior was , much like Sam , left unaware of the Assassin brotherhood and that part of his own son’s lineage

Bullfrog and Sarah inheriting their mothers’ legacies of eternal conflict with each other can be a sort of play on the phase “sins of the father”. At least with Sarah , having it be “sins of the mother” makes more sense since Sam is more or less a good guy in the narrative who doesn’t have any sort of millennial old legacy to uphold, and for Bullfrog? Again , wishful thinking

If I really wanted to push that angle, I can probably make a reference to Eve , the first sinner and mother of all humanity. Bullfrog is technically already the snake offering a fruit of forbidden knowledge to Rayman’s Adam , so the symbolism is already present

“But it’s kinda weird that Bullfrog, a frog hybrid, has a bird themed surname if he’s from a family of frogs and was raised by his biological frog parents” And while the basic answer would be “it’s an Assassin’s creed reference and even if not , surnames don’t always make sense for an individual” the other possibly answer to that is to bring up another old man in Sarah’s life:

Marcus Holloway

I’ve seen a lot of people theorise that Bullfrog was adopted by a bird (usually crow or raven) hybrid and that’s how he got the bird themed surname. It’s an adorable headcanon

But going off of my theory I’ve explained thus far, I believe that a member of the Assassins creed , who happens to be a bird hybrid, was a friend of Bullfrog’s mother (and maybe father, but Senior wouldn’t be aware of the brotherhood’s existence) and was basically the Marcus to Bullfrog’s Sarah

Now, while I’ve said I believe Bullfrog’s backstory will parallel Sarah’s, I don’t think it’s going to be exactly one to one and the two are different characters , and my Marcus comparison here is an example of that

Remember the hero’s journey and how I used that to figure out Sarah had a hero complex?

While this entire post is a ramble of a theory and I’m most likely off the mark on a lot of stuff (besides maybe Bullfrog’s story involving blood lines and their legacy) , based on everything I brought up till now, we can probably take some (wild) guesses on what events Bullfrog experienced prior to the show's events

Having used the hero's journey as a template to explain the events in Sarah's life and keeping in mind that her story is likely meant as a parallel to Bullfrog's, we can use that to estimate what events happened in Bullfrog's life

Call to adventure:

Considering Bullfrog has a French accent and speaks French, his family originated from either France or a country with French as the dominant language

In season one , we do not have any information about what life is like outside of Eden. The only thing we know in this universe is that America was a country that existed when Rayman came to earth along with the rabbids, but soon after that the very concept of America disappeared and slowly became Eden, essentially wiping almost all traces of the country ever existing beforehand

There's a massive desert area called the wasteland smacked in the middle of Eden, with how a large piece of area in the middle of a capitalist nation where every other corner is a city building wanting to sell you something became untouched is not known

With how control is a defining factor in their beliefs and how they're a global threat , the Templars may have control of other countries , or least the more powerful countries (such as several European nations) in similar fashion to how Eden is currently functioning

Alternatively, Eden may be the only place left on earth that's actually bearable for most life , with every other country essentially being wastelands ,less likely due to the Templars and more so the Rabbids doing

Either because France sucks under Templar rule or Rabbids made it a hellscape , Bullfrog's father decided to leave and try getting into Eden to get a better chance at life , much like what Sam tried doing for Sarah

Supernatural aid: The crow hybrid assassin (or some other ally character) helps out Bullfrog and his family

Threshold , beginning of transformation: Bullfrog gets someone arrested

Bullfrog tells Rayman that he used to watch his show as a tadpole. While Bullfrog is clearly disillusioned by Eden propaganda as an adult, it could've been a very different story when he was a child

Maybe even a raykid?

Now obviously if Bullfrog's mother was an assassin, she would've kept her children as far away from Eden propaganda as much as possible

But going with Sarah and Bullfrog being parallels, so are their mothers. Sarah doesn't speak of her mother in the show but it's safe to assume that Regan, while someone who existed, was absent in Sarah's life before Sarah snitched on the watch dogs

It's likely then Bullfrog's mother parallels with Regan in sharing same fate as her, whatever that would be

Another reason I actually prefer for the mother to be Bullfrog's assassin parent is another parallel that can be made with Sarah: their fathers being against their conviction

While Sam wasn't part of the assassin brotherhood, Sam was never on the side of Eden . Sam may not have had all the information, he did know what Eden was doing was wrong and didn't want Sarah to become another cog in their machine

So paralleling with Sam , Bullfrog's father in contrast was pro Eden, at least by some extent, and thus would've encouraged Eden propaganda onto Bullfrog

Especially when his wife was no longer in the picture to say otherwise

So at some point after arriving in Eden proper , Bullfrog gets someone arrested in a similar fashion to how Sarah got the watch dogs arrested. Who that is exactly and under what circumstances I can't really say, but I can say one thing: It makes Bullfrog feel wrong for doing it

While Regan ensured that Sarah knew of her Templar heritage and the ideals that came from that, so that Sarah knew when "to do the right thing". Bullfrog's mother ensured Bullfrog knew of the beliefs of the brotherhood and understood the importance of justice

Bullfrog , despite being surrounded by repeat propaganda and his own father's belief in Eden, knew on a subconscious level something was wrong

I mentioned that I believe that a bird hybrid assassin would be a parallel to Marcus , and I believe that bird hybrid and Bullfrog have a bond that Marcus could've had with Sarah

If only their circumstances were different, Marcus could've been a second dad to Sarah

At some point there'd be conflict with Bullfrog senior being against his son becoming "terrorist" , and thus Bullfrog deciding to distance himself from his father and take on his mentor's name , Korvin

Challenges and Temptations : most likely Bullfrog's assassin training, maybe something to do with revenge (?)

Revelation, Death and Rebirth: Okay either the brotherhood dies, probably in the wasteland war or Bullfrog senior dies

The brother hood dying fits this better, but Senior dying or rather getting himself killed could be the final step from Bullfrog to let go of his past and fully commit to his destiny as an assassin

You can probably make a plot of Senior seeking revenge only to end up getting innocents and himself hurt along the way, and this that's what formed Bullfrog's views on revenge

Transformation: Bullfrog becoming a master assistant, maybe?

Atonement: Much like Sarah, Bullfrog's story isn't finished yet and thus, we'll have to see what happens in season two

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

Stsg anon back at it again with a new idea for you to eat!!! poly, teen!stsg where they both develop a crush on reader who’s quiet, who’s timid, who keeps to themselves. Not as strong as either of them and not as popular. They two are best friends and they certainly won’t fall apart over a crush, so they talk it out and decide they’re both perfectly fine with arranging some sort of polyamory (if you return their feelings, of course. That was something suguru pointed out btw 😭)

(…which they both convince themselves is totally just for the sake of maintaining their friendship, just for the sake of both of them getting to date you, totally not also because there’s some romantic tension between them that they aren’t ready to face yet.)

But they have such different ideas on how to go about courting you and they bicker (lightheartedly) about it all the time. Suguru who thinks that they should go about it gently, kindly, who thinks they should take it slow. Who’s so thoughtful, who recognises that being flirted with by two very attractive and popular guys could be overwhelming, especially for someone shy and introverted. Who’s charming because he’s gentle, because he brings you food when you mentioned you were in a rush and forgot to make your own, who’s just so kind and always seems to offer you a spot with him and satoru when he spots you alone in your classroom at lunch. Who gives the softest smiles and gently taps your shoulder to get your attention, who’s big hands gently brush against your own when he hands you a worksheet.

But Satoru is eager. Confident, exceedingly so. Who, when he wants something, he gets it. He’s the Satoru Gojo for the love of god, he knows he’s everybody’s dream man, so he sees no reason in waiting or being slow- who, not for the first time in his life, needs suguru to calm him down and force him to be rational and not freak you out. He’s the embodiment of a lovesick puppy. Who showers you in gifts even if you aren’t dating yet, because he just can’t resist ! Who brings you flowers he remembers you said you liked, who writes witty and flirty notes and chucks them at your head (gently) in class when the teacher isn’t looking, who’s always slinging an arm around your shoulder, flicking your forehead, ruffling your hair. Who grins and winks at you in such a satoru way, who excitedly grabs your hand and interlinks your fingers when he wants to bring you somewhere, who has to physically hold himself back from squealing and giggling like a schoolgirl when he catches you glancing or blushing at either of them.

Both of them who make sure nobody gives you shit, who are with you constantly, always making sure you’re okay and not upset about anything, who help you to become a little more self confident and extroverted (around them at least), and who don’t mind it when it’s one of those days where you’d prefer to just be your normal self, to read and be alone (alone from everyone but them of course, god forbid the clingy bfs go a second without you..)

Giggles so hard…. They’re such cutie pies <3333 this might be a little bit too long but I just needed to share this thought augh I’m such a sucker for them and how they respond and think about things differently yet are still each others ride or dies :3 !!

HELP MEEEEEEE THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER I COLLAPSED 😭😭😭 stsg anon u need to write a fic this concept makes me so weak

i know i already said it but u r just FEEDING me atp….. i lovelovelove reading these SO much pls never worry about them being too long!!! u could drop a whole essay into my askbox n i wouldnt mind at all <333 i adoreee poly stsg and ur thoughts on them !!

AND THIS CONCEPT …. hhhh :( so sweet. it gives me insane shoujo manga vibes anon !! just all heart fluttering n giddy. theyre cutiepies its true <33

and ofc i agree so much!!! sugu being the more gentle one, patient, considerate… (he’s soooo <33) while gojo is just so eager to see u smile and laugh and blush he LIVES off ur reactions……. him being his lil lovesick puppydog self and sugu trying to keep him in check LMAO thats so so cute!! squealing n giggling while sugu rolls his eyes (fondly) (lovingly) (in adoration) (i just feel like he’s so whipped for both of u… he thrives off ur joy </3)

(ALSOOOOO ANON….. the romantic tension between stsg…… i agree so so much. i think they just dont really have a word for what they feel for each other yet, but once they do… maybe there would be an adjustment period where they’re just figuring themselves/each other out but !! i think it’d be short. they just care for each other so much yknow??)

AND AND them being so protective <///3 u know the way to my heart. and understanding too!! we’ve talked abt this before anon but they really ARE such a great duo bc gojo is always there if u feel more extroverted and outgoing but on days when u just want to be silent and cozy sugu is waiting on the couch w blankets and tea <333 and them being so clingy LMAOO it’s so true…. on days when u want to be ALONE alone sugu has to literally pry gojo away from u w his bare hands 😭😭😭 n then he just waits outside the door like a dog. and sugu starts getting headaches bc he has this itch to tend to ur needs but he knows he shouldn’t disturb u PHDHDHS codependent losers <333

i loovveeee imagining them in more fluffy scenarios like this it makes me so happy wahhh… its what they deserve!!! i LIVE for ur thoughts anon tysm for the meal as always <333

[beevean]

hiii i dont really have anything to say this is just an invitation to ramble if you ever want to. for freebies. talk at me ill take notes. rattle on about anything ill be quite gleeful about it. this is your free talking ticket (not that you need one per se but i thought the note that i like reading about your thoughts might be nice if nothing else)

Awwwww I appreciate the free ticket a lot 🥰 you're right, it's always nice to have confirmation that others care about your ramblings, so thank you :3

I'm using it because brain got stuck on a random thing: while I was in my phase of gorging on CoD fanfics, I found interesting how different fans interpreted the in-universe reasons for Isaac's appearance.

(sir. sir why do you look so good in a random ass mobile game)

He clearly cares a lot about how he appears. He styles his hair in a certain way, he wears eyeliner (red eyeliner that matches his hair even, which implies he put thought into the best color), he wears impractical but stylish high heels, and in the MF manga he's shown having long nails: while I interpret this as him striving to imitate vampire claws, it still would take a lot of manteinance, and he even hides them under his gloves. I have also pointed out that in PtR his uniform is kept more prim and proper than Hector's, weirdly enough. And with the exception of his uniform for obvious reasons, Isaac still puts care in his appearance after going insane with the Curse.

But what does it say about him?

Some fans seems to simply think he's kind of a peacock. He's vain, he's flamboyant, he knows he's the hot stuff, maybe he's really trying his hardest to hit on Hector lmao. It fits with his arrogant attitude. Maybe he's even a bit of a perfectionist/tryhard: he doesn't need to waste time putting on eyeliner, but damnit, he wants to look his best to work. A king, if you ask me.

Others seem to think it's a sad form of overcompensation. Isaac is not particularly pretty, especially compared to the very beautiful Hector. He has traits that others might see as ugly, like slanted eyes, a large mouth and a big nose. Even worse, while silver hair is obviously unnatural but can be seen as fascinating, red hair in that era was 100% seen as the mark of the devil - and Isaac's red is bright, attracts even more attention. It's not impossible that Isaac was abused for how he looked like, and has some sort of complex about it. In fact, we all know Isaac is the incarnation of the inferiority superiority complex: he has an arrogant, cocky attitude, but he's also extremely insecure about himself, his skills, and being seen as second best/not good enough. So maybe he spent most of his childhood hiding and being ashamed of himself, but now in the place where he truly belongs he has rebounded in the opposite direction: oh, you think I'm unsightly? Have all of me in glorious display! You think my hair marks me as a demon to extirpate? Why yes, I am a demon, and I'm not letting you forget it!

With this mentality, no wonder he'd cover himself head to toe in demonic tattoos that prove his utter loyalty to Dracula, and no wonder that, after he dies, he lets his clothes rot off his back to show even more of his self. He has nothing to hide anymore.

And he still wants to hit on Hector, obviously :P

Sasunaru ask by sasunaruotp

Yeah I know I’m not supposed to answer to the questions that way, but whatever! I’m bored and I love SNS with a burning passion, so let’s go. Just remember that it’s just a bunch of personal headcanons based on my opinion.

1- What is your absolute favorite SasuNaru moment? Their dialogue at Vote2 "Why did you do this?" "Because I love you YOU IDIOT" "Okay I’ll cry" That’s beautiful, and that’s what REAL love looks like. Not but seriously. I think it’s the moment that clearly made me realize that they were in love with each other. Also, all of the times where Sasuke was smiling, crying out of relief, laughing or just expressing himself freely, while he was lying on the ground with his most important person… it’s just so good to see him like this some times.

2- Who says “I love you” out loud first? Sasuke, I think. He might be more discret about his feelings in general, but it’s harder for Naruto to verbalize what he’s feeling to Sasuke. Usually they both express their love for each other’s by little gestures, like holding hands, or touching the other’s hair.

3- SasuNaru, NaruSasu, SasuNaruSasu, other? I don’t give a damn about the top/bottom thing. But I usually use "Narusasu" to talk about the ship because I like the way it sounds. Or just "SNS", it’s shorter.

4- Sexuality headcanons? In canon I see Naruto as gay. But I headcanon Naruto as bi and more attracted to men. And Sasuke’s gay, definitely.

5- At what point in the manga did Naruto realize he was sexually attracted to Sasuke? When did Sasuke realize he was sexually attracted to Naruto? I like to think that Naruto realized he was sexually attracted to Sasuke before he realized he was romantically attracted to Sasuke… Probably when he met him after all these years at Orochimaru Hideout. For Sasuke, I think he realized he was sexually attracted to Naruto after the War. Dealing with his feelings was already too complicated…

6- At what point in the manga did Naruto realize he was romantically attracted to Sasuke? When did Sasuke realize he was romantically attracted to Naruto? Sasuke started to realize he was in love with Naruto after his fight against Haku, and he realized it more clearly at Vote1, when he was about to leave Naruto behind in the "Spiderman kiss" scene. For Naruto… I think he clearly realized he had feelings for Sasuke after Hinata’s confession. Before that, he never properly thought about the nature of his feelings for Sasuke. For me, Naruto labeled Sasuke as his best friend, or brother because he process his thoughts by words. These words were familiars to him. But him being "in love" wasn’t something he properly knew. When Hinata said she loved him, and described her love for him the same way he could describe his love for Sasuke (I mean the part where she had always looked up to him because she admired him), he was clearly able to label Sasuke as someone he loved in a romantic way. Which explains his speech to Sasuke at the Kage Summit.

7- What is their first time like? Really clumsy and awkward, they were both embarrassed. Neither of them was really experimented and they’re two touch-starved dummies, but in the end they both though it was great.

8-Land of Waves or Chunin Exams? Land of Waves all the waaaaaay it’s literally one of the best arc of Naruto. Sasuke sacrificing himself, and choosing to die even though his goal of revenge wasn’t achieve yet for Naruto. And even without regarding SNS, this arc is great just for Haku and Zabuza.

9- Orochimaru’s Hideout or the Kage Summit? Kage Summit I guess? For the whole "We’ll die together" thing. Orochimaru’s Hideout was insane though. Especially for the scene where Sasuke openly flirts with Naruto.

10- First Valley of the End Battle or Second Valley of the End Battle? Second Valley of the End. The fight was much more intense in my eyes, because it was the conclusion of Sasuke and Naruto’s relationship development. But both are important and impactful.

11- Who steals the other’s clothes and wears them? Sasuke likes wearing Naruto’s jacket. He doesn’t do it too often because Naruto’s clothes stink, but he still find them oddly comforting. (He always do this) Naruto also wears Sasuke’s clothes to annoy him. (Bonus: Naruto sometimes wore Sasuke’s headband while he was training with Orochimaru, to feel like if he was there with him)

12- Post your favorite SasuNaru fanart. There’s way too much SNS fanarts I like, it’s too hard to choose. But I particularly love this one, it was one of the first Narusasu fanart I’ve seen, and it’s absolutely magnificent. Also I want a whole 100k fic about this one, it’s so beautiful, and this one is pure gold. And this one. And this one. And this one. (Yeah in case you haven’t notice there’s a lot of talented artists out there)

13- Post your favorite SasuNaru art drawn by Kishimoto. I couldn’t choose between two of them:

I just love to see the two of them having their head tilted slightly to the side, like if they were reaching out to kiss… And I really like the utilisation of the words around them. There’s a great analysis of this drawing here.

Their outfit are so beautiful… There’s also a good contrast between their posture and their respective outfit. Also Sasuke is particularly pretty in this one.

14- Link your favorite SasuNaru fanfic. There’s a lot of SNS fics I love. Some of them are french though… But for the one in English, I particularly like to read homesick for a mountain’s song and stay. They’re the one I like to read the most. If you wan’t my SNS fic rec, it’s here.

15- Choose a side-pairing: KakaSaku or ShikaTema? Kakasaku?… Yikes. Shikatema all the way

16- Tell me about a time Naruto made Sasuke laugh. When Naruto chokes when he eats Ramen too fast. It always makes Sasuke laugh.

17- Describe or Draw a SasuNaru child (Mpreg, adoption, surrogate, whatever). To be honest I don’t think they would have a child if they were actually together. But I like to imagine that if they had an adoptive child (or biological child, with Orochimaru I guess everything’s possible), it would be a girl (with Uzumaki’s red hair if biological child, because who cares about the logic of genetic??)

18- What is your favorite AU to put SasuNaru in? Outside of the self-indulgent scenarios I play in my head when I go to sleep, I love fantasy AU and Sci-fi AU.

19- Would Naruto’s parents like Sasuke? Kushina wouldn’t like him at first. She wanted Naruto to marry a women with the same personality as her, after all. But she would see that Sasuke makes her son happy, and that he’s a polite and handsome man. Eventually she would consider him as a real member of her family, but it would take times. Minato would be nicer than his wife, and he’d accept Sasuke in his family quickly. But they wouldn’t talk much together I think.

20- Would Sasuke’s parents like Naruto? Mikoto would immediately like Naruto. Fugaku… I’m not sure. He would think Naruto’s an idiot, and not worthy enough to be his son’s lover. But I think that with times he would learn to appreciate him for his skills and his determination.

21- How does Kurama feel about Naruto’s relationship with Sasuke? He made it clear that he hated the Uchiha brat when they started dating, but he was glad that Naruto was finally able to express his feelings for Sasuke. It was getting annoying for him to see them pinning for each other all those years.

22- Who is the first person they tell? Who finds out first? They told Iruka first of course!

23- Describe Sasuke and Naruto’s favorite things to do in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Spring is the time when they travel for some days in other countries to admire the sakura trees from different regions. In Summer they love to go swimming all day long in the rivers around their house. In Fall, they spend a lot of time in their garden, either cultivating vegetables or picking up dead leaves. In Winter they like to go outsides and play with snow when there is some, and when there isn’t they like to stay at home in their bed with tones of blankets.

24- Rewrite the Ending, pleeeease. Basically Naruto and Sasuke goes to a journey together then they marry each other and come back to Konoha to change the system. Also Sakura goes to therapy and realizes that her behavior toward Sasuke is problematic, Kaguya doesn’t exist, and Neji doesn’t die as slave. Or maybe Hinata sacrifice herself to protect Neji? She would never do that in canon, since she only think about herself, but it would be a nice character development I guess. But it wouldn’t be really in character, so whatever… Also Karin and Naruto should properly interact with each other’s as cousins it would be nice. We haven’t seen enough of the Uzumaki Clan in the manga!

25- Link a song that perfectly describes Sasuke and Naruto’s relationship. Mitski songs are literally Naruto and Sasuke’s relationship in music. But @sueske also made a playlist for SNS (go listen to it if you haven’t already!!)

26- Link a song that perfectly described Sasuke and Naruto’s sex life. I really don’t know… If anyone have suggestions, I’d like to hear them!

27- Pretend you are Naruto and write a short poem about Sasuke’s hair. 

"Dear Sasuke.

Wow. Your hair is like blueberry"

28- What is your second favorite SasuNaru moment? Their reunion at Kage Summit. The whole "We’ll die together" thing is so dramatic and romantic, I love it. And when Naruto and Sasuke both read each other’s hearts…

29- Ramen or Tomatoes? I really like tomatoes, but… Ramen superiority! I love every types of noodles, especially Udon.

30- Do you like Sasuke’s spiky duck-butt hair or his slick-down hair better? Do you like Naruto’s hair shorter or longer better? Sasuke’s Boruto hairstyle is horrible, even if the way Kishimoto drew his slick-down hair was gorgeous in one of his sketch. But the duck-but hair is iconic. And for Naruto it’s easy. He looks incredibly bad with his short hair, and even Kishimoto couldn’t change that. So, long-haired Naruto it is! (I think he would look good with an undercut though)

31- Who bites in bed? Naruto, most of the times. In bed, he bites hard. Sometimes Kyubi’s instincts take over everything else and he just wants to feel blood on his tongue. But he makes sure that it doesn’t hurt Sasuke too much. Also, Natuto casually bites Sasuke in their everyday life either on his cheek, or his fingers, just because. It’s affectional of course.

32- Who cooks? Neither of them properly knows how to cook… Sasuke knows some good recopies, but it’s complicated to cook with one hand. So usually they try to cook something nice together.

33- Who denied his feelings longer? Probably Naruto, because of internalized homophobia. He didn’t really denied his feelings to himself, but he didn’t want to admit them to others, fearing that he would be excluded by people,

34- What is your third favorite SasuNaru moment? When Sasuke sacrificed himself to save Naruto at Land of Waves. This scene always makes me emotional... Sasuke ready to give up on his dream of revenge for Naruto is the definition of love.

35- Who catches them having sex all the time and constantly tries to bleach his/her eyes? I don’t think Naruto and Sasuke would be caught having sex, at least not often. They’re ninjas after all.

36- How does Itachi feel about their relationship? He feels like Naruto is probably the only person in this world that will make his brother truly happy. So he’s glad for them.

37- Hot Spring Sex or Hokage Office Sex? Hokage Office Sex, definitely.

38- How does Iruka feel about Sasuke? He thinks Sasuke’s a good kid, and even if he doesn’t really understand what had been going on with him and Naruto, he’s glad that both of them are able to be happy together.

39- Describe Taka’s relationship with Naruto once they learn he’s with Sasuke. Karin’s jealous of Naruto, but she wants what’s best for Sasuke, so she tries not to show that’s she’s pissed off. Suigetsu just makes nasty comments every time he sees Naruto, but he thinks Naruto’s funny. And Juugo doesn’t mind him. Naruto think they’re all weird, and he’s jealous of them to, but most of the time he doesn’t feel too uncomfortable with them, because he doesn’t feel like they’re judging his relationship with Sasuke

40- Who threatens to end Sasuke’s life if he ever hurts Naruto? Gaara.

41- What is your fourth favorite SasuNaru moment? (I could keep going with this, there’s like a million SasuNaru moments!!) The Spiderman kiss scene at Vote1. This moment right after the fight feels so intimate and precious.

42- What does Jiraiya think about Sasuke? He thinks Sasuke is a friend for Naruto, and that their relationship is a just phase.

43- Do you think it makes sense that Sasuke doesn’t stay in the village at the end of the manga?  Yes I do. I don’t picture him staying in Konoha after the War, at least not all the time. I think he would always go on journey around the world, but would come back in Konoha for a few days/weeks when he feels like it.

44- Do they get married? They do get married, but like some sort of private party. They just invited a little group of people and made a ceremony. It was more about them than about other people.

45- Who’s more aggressive in bed? Neither of them are really agressive. Naturo’s a little bit rough sometimes though…

46- Describe a perfect day for Sasuke and Naruto.  In the morning, they really like to cuddle in bed, and then they take a long walk in the forest while Sasuke listen to whatever Naruto wants to talk about. For lunch they either eat at Ichiraku’s or make themselves a little snack. In the afternoon they like to go training together, then they rest at home either taking a nap or enjoying their garden. In the evening, Sasuke reads with Naruto besides him, then they try to cook themselves something good. After this they either go to sleep, or make love when they’re in the mood.

47- When they’re training together, who always gets distracted and turns the training into fooling around? Naruto!

48- Which outfit of Sasuke’s is Naruto’s favorite?  He loves every single one of them equally. (Well, maybe he does have a preference for the Sasuke-tidies-out-Uchiha, but that’s a secret)

49-What does Sasuke find the most attractive about Naruto? What does Naruto find the most attractive about Sasuke? Sasuke likes it a lot when Naruto does his fox-smirk. And his whiskers are cute. Naruto absolutely loves when Sasuke smiles. He craves for these moments. He think he’s insanely attractive when he smiles. Also he loves his hair and his eyes.

50- If you could tell Sasuke and Naruto one thing, what would you tell them? "Have you watched Brokeback Mountain?"

ur makima post made me want to read chainsaw man omfg i cant tlel if its really that good or you just make it sound that good. is it misogynistic like shounens tend to be ☹️

misogyny in chainsaw man is interesting. as i mentioned, you see a lot of the series through denji's point of view, and he is sort of a passively sexist sixteen-year-old boy. however i find that chainsaw man has some of the most complex and interesting female characters in most new-gen shounen.

a big part of denji's character arc is learning to view women as more than one thing, basically, which coincides with him slowly learning that what he craves in women is intimacy and genuine connection. by the end of part one, denji's closest female bond is with a young girl who he becomes the adoptive brother of, taking care of her like aki once did for him.

so, like, there's the running joke that denji is horny, and yeah, sure, he is. his big motivation for a bit of the first part is that he wants to touch boobs. but then this ends up happening with power, and he feels nothing, which is super telling of what he actually wanted out of the experience (and what makima later uses to manipulate him with, by explaining the concepts of intimacy and passion).

i find the female character design to be really cool, too. i feel like in any other manga, makima who plays into the seductress role would be wearing really tight clothes with insane body proportions, but she just kinda looks like this:

as you can see, she also wears a lot of heavy, bulky trench coats that make her look bigger and more intimidating. i really adore how makima is designed—she's not over-the-top sexy ( attractive, obviously ), but it puts more emphasis on the mental work she has to do to enamour denji to her, rather than relying purely on her physical appearance.

i think fujimoto has good female character design down in general, really. i find that the one-off devils they encounter are a fairly even-split mix of male-coded and female-coded, and he seems to have more fun designing female characters in general, lol. i mean, the protag of part two is a schoolgirl, and she wears like... an accurate japanese school uniform which... count on one hanf the amount of times you see girls wearing accurate uniforms in a shounen:

so like, long answer short. because the message of the series is that denji needs to earn self-respect, and stop seeking it in women, he (and we) slowly become disillusioned to the objectification of women. i find that the couple of side-eye moments i might have, like asa stripping down to her underwear for one fight, are overshadowed by how complex and dimensional the female characters are, and how much care fujimoto puts into creating them.

thank you for reading!! i would recommend looking up a trigger list before starting chainsaw man, but other than that, i can't recommend it enough :D

SUPER LONG ITAPAN RAMBLE INCOMING!!!!

OKAY. OKAY. its been a while since ive rambled on this account so today im going to clear up how i see itapan so that no one gets confused when i say “i dont think they would ever date” and then proceed to draw them making out or whatever.

when you hear “one sided itapan” you might think italy has the stronger feelings (because he’s the one approaching and hugging and kissing japan or whatever) but i feel that it’s actually japan with the stronger feelings.

when italy’s affectionate towards japan, its not because he’s necessarily attracted to him, but that’s just how he behaves. i think that he’s kind of trying to lead him on so japan is nicer to him. italy has been coddled his entire life like he’s been taken care of by austria and hungary and spain and france and germany and literally everyone loves him. and he KNOWS that everyone loves him so he purposefully babies himself to others so he can get even more special treatment. hes an annoying little asshole who uses his good looks and weakness to get out of trouble and i love it!!!

throughout the series (both in anime, manga, and a little in hetamyu), japan actually grows a bit of a soft spot for italy because of how weak and pathetic he makes himself seem. at first he’s polite and awkward because he idolized italy to be strong and capable, but once his expectations are SHATTERED he gradually begins to want to take care of him in a way. he doesn’t get mad at him as often and sometimes even defends him when germany is upset or lecturing him (like in hetalia fantasia). he tucks him in bed and lets him sleep on his chest and share a bed and bathe together and do the gayest shit ever. i probably would’ve thought “well thats because he’s too polite to refuse” but he ACTIVELY wants to do this stuff with him. he puts a hand on his back to keep him in place when he rests on his chest. he visits italy often and loves to cook with/for him. he wants to learn how to hug and kiss him back even after italy says its fine. he writes him letters and a SONG where he asks italy to visit him and gives him a pressed flower bookmark. japan goes out of his way to return italy’s affection and spend time with him while italy just does it because he’s italy.

i dont really think it’s a “sad” one-sided crush because in the end they’re still friends! they still both care about each other and confide in one another and hang out. italy isnt just affectionate to japan because he wants to lead him on and get more special treatment, but because they’re friends and he does still like him platonically! they can act like a couple without actually BEING one and thats insane!!! i love that shit!!!!!

ive mentioned how itager/gerita was my first hetalia ship and it still stands as one of my favorites. the problem is that im PICKY with it because i dont like a lot of the fandoms’ interpretations of them. i guess i wasnt as picky with itapan and liked it simultaneously with (although much more than) itager. but when i rewatched all of hetalia over the spring i realized how much MORE i liked itapan in the context of itager, which kind of blew my mind. like i remember mentioning to some itapan friends how i think they would never date and i still stand with that today. like italy and germany are too busy trying to win eachother over and they would just get together instead. japan actually likes his friends though and wants them to be happy so he would just go “ok” and move on while still doing all that gay shit with them. i guess jt makes itapan more of a brotp but it doesnt make it any less enjoyable for me. i LIKE to see them hanging out and being friends and dont really mind fanart where they’re dating or whatever because i can just pretend that they’re not!

anyways sorry for being a little insane i hate itapan but i actually love itapan okay i love them okay yahoo!

Random question

Other than his looks, what made you fall for Levi?

-♡

first, i can’t give you a detailed recount because i forgor😔in late 2020 i had just escaped a long insanely emotionally abusive co-dependent relationship, i was starting college, escaped my home life, and i heard that aot was FINALLY getting a season 4 so i rewatched it on a whim (i was very much a fan in 2016 but i wasn’t a manga reader, and after wit whimped out on animating after s3, i fell out of interest🤷🏻). idk why levi didn’t catch my attention at that time..

but in a perfect storm of irl variables, i became obsessed❤️honestly levi ackerman made me realize i was on the asexual spectrum. (so levi ackerman was an influence in me breaking up with my casual boyfriend at the time also.) then i went through some Traumatic Stuff and with no exaggeration if it wasn’t for levi i wouldn’t have made this blog or be here today

(so as more of an aside, my sexuality makes me feel like the attraction is even more real in a way?)

but what about HIM made me fall for him??

- well first of all i have a type🤷🏻emotionally unavailable, strong aloof fictional man with a heart of gold

- also he was extremely relatable. i could see so much of myself in him which was particularly nice when i was working through stuff i hadn’t even been aware was trauma before. rly made me feel less alone

- fictional man has unwavering sense of loyalty who knows what it feels like to be chronically abandoned so he would never do that

- independent fictional man that wouldn’t smother me in affection, and doesn’t feel any need or desire to be, idk upfront about it?—because it’s felt and shown in his actions plenty. this was a massive factor for me

- he always has his shit together. i mean he’s in total control of himself at all times and that kind of stability attracted me

- back to being relatable, i have the same outlook about life and feel i have a lot of the same personality traits🙂

- no nonsense. doesn’t mince words or lie to make someone else feel better. not a dominant guy. kind of course, selfless and empathetic but also morally grey with a darkness in him. more humble but not in an insecure way that requires me to be constant emotional support. lacks charisma in a very very very cute way. levi is so shy yk??? while also being a tough badass🤷🏻

- he’s short and small. i didn’t think about this until later but i love it😭😭short guys for me>>>

- if this makes sense, he isn’t sexual? even though he has plenty of sexual appeal (DUH). shows no interest in romantic relationships or sexual encounters while also being the most loyal, doting, and thoughtful partner if he was in a romantic relationship.

- this isn’t canon necessarily (although i remember this being a fan rumor), but he’s more docile and submissive in a relationship. that isn’t to say he can’t be dominant, but he’s mostly the former and that’s a major attraction to me

ok i’m getting into headcanon territory so i’ll stop😅but those are the major things :)

[fatuismooches]

your thing for webttore vs gamettore is something i literally annoy my friends with all the time SO

I personally love the personality webttore has, he hahahehehoho'd into my heart, but i also ADORE the elusiveness of gamettore, what people dont seem to realize is that while its hard to notice, boattore (i think boattore was the one talking to tighnari anyway) has a personality different than the gamettore we see with nahida, the sass he displays when talking to tighnari is so silly to me, while attractiveness i Cannot decide, webttore is more sauishable to me, he seems like he'd have soft cheeks behind his mask, while gamettore seems??? sharper??? maybe it's his stupid fucking bird mask (affectionate) but even if webttore has his shark teeth (I NEED THEM ON GAMETTORE NOW) webttore seems softer than gamettore to me??? idk if it makes sense but id bite webttore on the cheek with no fear for my life but would probably have to work my way up to gamettores cheek by biting his arm first

gamettore really made me start paying attention to dottore in general since i (admittedly) havent read the manga and only downloaded cuts of every panel webttore was in because what else am i supposed to do??? actually read the webcomic??? you think i can read??? anyway seeing dottore in the winters night lazzo made me go "omg hes real" and soon he finally wormed his way into my mad scientist adoring heart, although a gripe i have with gamettore is that we don't really see him unlike webttore methinks, which makes sense and the times we did see him had be giggling kicking my feet and rolling at 297482847273 mph but there's like... 3 cutscenes??? and i think we see him like 10 times ar most.. i think im mainly just waiting for dott to become playable to find out more about his lore because.. i cannot put my adoration for dottore into words he's genuinely one of if not my favorite genshin character, im the mad scientist now i need to pick apart his brain and see his motives more clearly - 🎈

AHHH THIS THIS THIS. The personality of Webttore has my heart, but I love the cool confident calm demeanor of Gamettore. And yes, Boattore definitely has a different personality than Omega. I’m not sure how to describe it but you can kind of just know? Not to mention, during the Archon quest the Fatui npcs mention how different this Dottore is from before, so it’s really shown how different even the in-game Dottores are. Boattore speaks in a different tone as well lol i love him

AHHHH YES WEBTTORE IS SO SQUISHY. Not to mention i absolutely love his haircut it looks so fluffy and messy, i also want to cup that tiny space of his cheek where the mask doesn't cover and give him a lil kith 😔 I'd also pull on his lil bow tie. But Webttore is the kinda guy I'd make fun of (affectionately ofc) while I would think twice about that for Gamettore 😭 Though Webttore would have more heated reactions while Gamettore is just like 😶

HELP i first read the manga for the plot, every other time i go to read it solely for Webttore 😭 And yea i am slowly going insane with the lack of Dottore cutscenes, I'm losing sight in the right eye rewatching all his cutscenes🥰 Though i can't expect more, he did his job and left after it was done lol... The only thing i hope is he appears in Fontaine 🥺

[acilykos]

Hello sorry I am the anon that just sent you something a few minutes ago and I am rambling more now HRJMSKKDKS SORRY IDK WHO ELSE TO TALK TO ABOUT THESE THINGS BUT YEAH. I think one of the things that is difficult to accept by the fandom about aroace Senku is that, see, Senku /is/ attractive, right? most of his friends and the people he've met throughout his journey that are not also on the acespec are definitely capable of being attracted to him 'cause, well, he is attractive! So the idea that in spite of him being, well, such a 'catch,' this idea that his friends respect him enough to not make a move on him and understand/respect that he's not interested and will never be, is such an insanely warm and heartening thing to watch as an aroace. HAHAHA Okay I'm done now have a good day pt. 2!

Yes!!! I completely agree hahaha And same, I love talking about Senku being AroAce!

None of his friends force a romance onto him, no one going "Ah, eventually he'll come around" it's the opposite! Even Luna who "crushes" on him respects his autonomy and doesn't do anything, no plot of trying to get romantic or physical, even she respects his decision on whether or not he actually wants a relationship with her.

Kohaku and Chrome both say "People don't know Senku at all" whenever there's a "Ohh you're into them?" comments, like about Homura. They all know and just respect it.

I thank Inagaki and Boichi everyday that there wasn't a last minute forced romance between him and Luna or Kohaku, also because I feel like shonen specifically doesn't value male and female friendships together as much as it should be, and always makes some weird romance happen between the (male) protagonist of the series and their closest (female) allies. Seems to be changing in recent years tho!

I'm actually glad we as a society kinda move on from having a forced romance for the protagonist trope in shows ajdjwjr

Also I ranted about this to @cosplayprincess21 but sometimes I feel like the reason why we have both Taiju/Yuzuriha and Chrome/Ruri as established will be couples in the series, is to divert from Senku like "Nooo, look at those romance plots, nothing to see over there, yes look away from the scientist" and even then their romance plots are very, very subtle and don't feel forced, they're very sweet and I like them!

To paraphrase myself from one of our convos, in a way, the series just feels AroAce-spec by having every other types of relationships, like family (Byakuya and Senku, Ruri and Kohaku, Ryusui and Sai, etc, etc...), friendship (I don't think I need to give examples for those hahaha but the best has to be Senku and Taiju), and alliances from mentor and student to enemies who become allies to fight the same enemy, be highlighted much more than the romantic ones.

Like yes, we have obvious romantic moments, but they don't feel overpowering, they just feel natural and like a side note.

Plus again, they're not focused on Senku hahaha He's like a bystander who has to roll with the punches lmao

I hope this makes sense, I don't know how else to explain it ajdje 💀 Just the fact that romance is a footnote, not a driving force for plot in the entirety of the manga. You could rewrite the entirety and have the romances be just friendships and it still works, even if some details change. Plus again, just two of Senku's closest friends (Taiju and Chrome) having the romance instead of himself as the protagonist just feels very "How to make sure people won't scream for a romantic main plot"

Also yeah, I don't really count Luna's switch over as a romantic subplot, because Senku gave it his all to trick her into joining his team lmao

Boy exploited romance for his convenience and then dropped it the second he didn't need it anymore hahaha

Sorry, this became super fucking long, but I love ranting with others about Senku being the perfect AroAce rep and how it just makes sense 😭

BUT YEAH HAVE A NICE DAY TOO, ANON!!

Drop by anytime you want to rant about it :D

Before we start, I will explain that I do not know everything about Dazai as a character, and I AM a soukoku shipper. If anything is wrong/inaccurate please put it in the reply's so I can fix it. NO ARGUMENTS PLEASE, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ALLOWED.

I am not a Dazai stan, I think he is attractive, but I'm more invested in his mind rather than his looks or sob story.

TL;DR at the end of the text.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

Okay. Dazai Osamu.

He is a murderer, liar, manipulator, abuser, and many, many more.

But despite what his ability may suggest, he is human, but not in the way I see this fandom many times portray him.

I mostly see (at least, in recent times,) Dazai portrayed as simply a manipulative psycho, which he is not. He does not kill for no reason, he does not manipulate without planning for it.

He is an absolute asshole, but we all know why.

M*ri purposely made Dazai his little puppet, at the age of fourteen. He was raised and groomed in a terrible environment, and he was so bored and tired of simply living everything he did was due to the idea that it might let him finally die at the age of 15. (Remember, the only reason Dazai decided to do the mission with Chuuya was because M*ri promised to make him a painless poison to die with)

Odasaku gave him hope, happiness, someone to not have to wear a mask around.

And what did M*ri do?

Purposely set up a situation to kill the one man Dazai could truly rely on.

Dazai could never trust, never love, never feel safe, even with the people he considered partners (ADA, Chuuya, Odasaku) because he knew that they would be taken away.

He made sure to never feel regret, never feel sadness, even after killing the partner he'd had since he was fifteen. He'd felt enough of that when Oda died.

He was and is obsessed with dying, because who is there for him to live for?

He knows he can never be a good person, but he still tried, for Oda.

He will always have a plan, have a plan B, C all the way to Z. But none of these plans will ever secure a long, happy life. Most of them aim to give Dazai a miserable life where he can die as quickly as possible.

And the only person to blame for his nature is M*ri, and his nurture was grown around M*ri and the PM.

He sees everything and has a plan to pull it to his advantage and success (Dead Apple) and anyone he meets can be played by a string to follow his deeds (Chuuya, Akutagawa).

He is terrible, and I will not excuse his behaviour because even I have a limit, but just like my Yoohyun rant, there is a solid reason for why he is the way he is, and I feel this makes Bungou Stray Dogs as a whole all the more captivating and well written.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

[TL;DR, Dazai is an insanely well written character, with reasoning behind every action he makes. Also, M*ri sucks and is the reason Dazi is the way he is.]

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

hate when i have a good bit of writing and no idea on how to continue it... tenmasu drabble here that i cannt figure out another line for. its my fic and i can put in my autism headcanons.

Tenma was pacing around, and it was pissing Yuki off. That damn hack has the footsteps of an elephant, shaking the whole room, causing him to poke his needle in the wrong places.

Yuki throws a pillow at him. “What the fuck?” Tenma looks up at Yuki in his bed. 

“What are you doing, pacing like that?” Yuki looks back down at his embroidery, taking the brief moment of Tenma pausing to not stab himself with the needle.

“Just… thinking.” Tenma stops himself from continuing to pace.

“What could possibly get you stomping that hard?” Yuki ties a knot.

“I…” Tenma hesitates. “I think I’m gay.”

Yuki’s hand hesitates reaching for the next color of thread. He wasn’t expecting that.

He shrugs. “That’s fine. Being gay doesn’t make you any less of a hack.”

“What?” Tenma turns around to the usual insult, but realizes the double meaning. “...Thanks, I guess.”

“Anything else not that groundbreaking to confess?”

“Not that groundbreaking? I’ve been agonizing about this for ages!”

“Half the company’s gay, I’m used to it at this point.”

“Really? Who?”

“You haven’t noticed? You seriously think Homare of all people is straight?”

“Okay, now that you mention it, I guess.”

“Not that I really care, but what made you realize it at this age?”

Tenma cringes. “Promise you won’t laugh?”

Yuki thinks it’s probably serious, so he nods. 

“...I think I like Masumi.”

“WHAT?!” Yuki’s scream shakes the whole dorm and theater. Tenma cringes again, extremely embarrassed. “That guy? Really? Are you more insane than I thought?”

“I said promise not to laugh!”

“I’m not laughing, I want to send you in for a psychiatric evaluation!” Yuki moves his needle away so he doesn’t stab himself, even though he kind of wants to. “I can’t believe I’m having this conversation, why? What about that psycho could you possibly like?”

Tenma sighs and sits down on the ground. “He’s… attractive, and his acting is really good.”

“Yeah, and that’s true for pretty much every single person in this company.”

“But he’s like, different. Ugh, I don’t want to talk about it!” Tenma picks up the pillow Yuki threw and throws it back.

A knock on the door. It opens, it’s Muku. “I heard a yell, are you guys okay?” He pokes his head into the room.

Tenma looks pointedly at Yuki, eyes signaling for him not to say anything incriminating.

“Yeah, Tenma’s just insane. You want to check him into a mental hospital with me tomorrow?”

“Oh no, Tenma, are you okay? How many fingers am I holding up?” Muku enters the room, rushing over to Tenma.

“I’m not insane! You’re insane!” Tenma yells up to Yuki.

“That’s what an insane person would say.” Yuki says.

“How bad is it? Do you still remember me? I’m Muku, your troupe mate!” Muku pleads with Tenma, gripping him by the shoulders.

“Muku, I’m fine. Yuki’s just being rude.” Tenma gently pries Muku’s hands off him. “For no reason.” Tenma once again glares at Yuki.

“He’d probably judge you way less than I do, being a shoujo manga addict.” Yuki picks up his embroidery again. 

“Huh?” Muku perks up at shoujo manga being mentioned.

Tenma gives the middle finger behind Muku’s head to Yuki, trying to preserve some of his innocence. Tenma sighs. “I was telling him about who I have a crush on.”

Muku’s worried face instantly turns into an eager one. “Really?”

Tenma nods, looking away from Muku’s sunbeam of a face.

“Do I know them? Wait, let me guess. A co-star from a rival company? Everytime you look at each other you feel a spark but can’t act on your feelings due to your companies?” Muku starts to ramble, gripping Tenma’s shoulders again.

“Not even close.”

“Then, an intern on set? She applied your makeup and everytime her hands brushed your face it felt like electricity? You had to act out a love confession for the next scene but your eyes kept wandering off set to her?”

“Again, not close. It’s a guy.” Tenma flushes.

“Oh, that adds another layer to it!” Muku doesn’t even notice the effort that Tenma took to come out to him, he just gets sucked into his own fantasy world. Yuki laughs.

“Stop laughing!”

“Is it not a coworker?” Muku asks, finally releasing Tenma’s shoulders.

“Technically, no.” Sure, he works with Masumi but it’s not like either of them get paid for it.

“A school friend? No, a company member?” Muku grabs Tenma again.

“Let go! And yeah.”

“Is it Sakuya? Oh, that would be so cute!” Yuki laughs again, Tenma silently seethes. 

“Close,” Yuki jeers from his bed.

“Yuki, I am this,” Tenma puts his pointer finger and thumb together. “close to assaulting you.”

“But they’re touching…” Muku mutters. 

“Are they one of the older members? I support you Tenma, but you may want to think about giving up on them…”

“No, God no. It’s Masumi.”

Muku is silent for several seconds. Tenma smacks himself in the forehead. “Oh, Tenma…”

Muku’s reaction is somehow worse than Yuki mocking him. “I know, I know. I should probably give up.”

“No, never give up in the name of love! It may be difficult, but I know you can persevere!” Muku takes Tenma’s hands.

Being on the other end of Muku’s advice is weird, but Tenma doesn’t hate it. It’s nice to finally get some encouragement, even though it’s only been known to others for about fifteen minutes. “Do you really…?” Tenma doesn’t want to voice the question, he’s trying so hard not to get his hopes up.

“Yes! With enough perseverance, any love can happen!” Muku’s eyes sparkle.

“Yeah, you’re right! I got this!” Tenma nods his head, filled with new found determination.

Yuki sighs. He wishes he had another pillow to throw, though he might need to chuck the entire bed at Tenma to knock some vital sense into him. 

“Now, let’s formulate a plan!” Muku sits Tenma down at the table in the center of the room. Muku rocks back and forth gently with excitement. Tenma’s a little excited too, he takes a fidget toy out of his pocket to fiddle with while they discuss. It’s one of his favorites, a stretchy giraffe.

“So, how can we get you the guy of your dreams!” Muku starts rocking back and forth harder.

“Calm down, Muku. Don’t get motion sick.” Yuki calls from his bed. He may not in any way want to be part of the conversation happening on the floor, but he keeps his eyes on his two best friends anyway.

“Thank you, Yuki.” Muku takes a deep breath in. “Masumi is a very romantic guy, he would love a big romantic gesture… Maybe something like hiring a skywriter to confess, or giving him a hundred roses!” 

“Wait, we need to make sure he won’t reject me. He still has his heart set on Izumi, so how do I change that?” Tenma ties the giraffe’s neck into a knot, then unties it.

“Um, maybe be super nice to him? Like, hold the door open for him, leave leftovers for him, minor stuff that will have him swooning eventually!”

aaaaaand idk what else. i love writing yuki bc hes so mean

[dollwritesarchive]

HI BABE SO NOW THAT YOU WATCHED IT..TOGE. THATS ALL. I loved seeing him use his quirk more and the part where he was doing all those backflips!?? Also the movie made me like maki even more I'm rooting for her so hard and THE SPLIT MY GOD 💀 hate to admit it but it also made me like gojo a little, like not enough to thirst over him but him genuinely caring about yuta and itadori is pretty cute

I WILL DEFINITELY ADD SOME DABI CONTENT FOR YOU OMG 😍 I'll probably also add a shigaraki one too since hes my second favorite and I think you'll like him. In some ways he kinda reminds me of mahito, like I've seen some people describe him as almost a man child in the beginning of the anime before he turns into a real monster. I dont really keep up with the manga but apparently hes really fucking shit up right now 👀

So literally the only content I've seen of dio is the tiktok you sent me and somehow I had a dream of him last night where he had me in a mating press so I thank you for influencing that experience and I WILL start watching it soon lol

Also now that you finished mugen train (I'm guessing?) CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT ENMU 👀 HES THE PRETTIEST OF ALL BOYS I LOVE HIM 😭 as of right now hes probably my second favorite demon but that could definitely change. And idk about rengoku but I would turn into a demon without a second thought for akaza, I would let that man do unspeakable things to me lol.

And as for my favorite demon... I HAD A HEART ATTACK SEEING YOU POST ABOUT GYUTARO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY AAAHHH ! Not only is he my favorite demon but he also might be my second favorite anime character ever, like you have no idea how hard it was for me to not talk about him or spoil anything and stuff every time we talked about demon slayer lol. I'm not sure how far along you are and what episode you're on so I won't say much other than hes my angel and I adore him 🥰 also idk who his voice actor is but I am way too attracted to his voice, the whiny psychoticness really does it for me lol 🥵

Also the fact that you started kinktober WITH THAT FIC HOLY SHIT YOURE STARTING WITH A BANG 👀 I love that it started out with reader being in love with mahito bc I definitely would. The whole feeling special is really calling me out lol. I literally screamed when reader looked over to see choso and haruta watching and jacking off omg and I was NOT expecting geto to put it in the same hole like it was such a pleasant surprise that I dont get to read about often lol. I'm saving your other kinktober fics to read this weekend when I have more time to really sit down and enjoy them but I'm so excited like I cant believe you have a fic like this for every day of the month that's insane 🖤

The muichiro tiktok 🥺 hes not talked about alot but I would actually die a little if something happened to him he needs to be protected ❤

ME AND YOU ARE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH I SWEAR I HAD THAT GIYU TIKTOK SAVED TO SEND YOU LOL. I literally have a folder of tiktoks to send you and that was one of them where like the second I saw it I was like I neeeed to send this to doll lol

Dio and kars I'm sorry the absolute TIDDIES on these men?? Say less I'm interested lmaoo

the movie was SO SO good I’m actually going to rewatch it sometime this weekend just because TOGE MY ANGEL. you said it best, I’m so happy they showed more of his ability. HES SO POWERFUL ITS CRAZY ?? Maki was way too sexy I have SUCH a crush on her !!!

YES I AM COMPLETELY CAUGHT UP ON DEMON SLAYER !! Enmu is so !!!! But that’s to be expected because he’s voice by the same guy that does Laito from diabolik lovers AND kakyoin from jojo LIKE OBVIOUSLY IM GOING TO BE IN LOVE WITH HIM

My top three are Kokushibo, Douma, and Akaza !! ❤️ BUT GYUTARO GRABBED ME BY THE THROAT WHEN HE SHOWED UP HIS VOIIICCEEE WAS SO SEXY. As for his voice actor is concerned, my bestie looked it up! I only know him from deadman wonderland and attack on Titan but his voice as GYUTARO was so unique I didn’t even recognize it KDKSKSK

That answers my question I just completely forgot to send it in omfg I CANNOT let myself get distracted while replying anymore I literally like almost deleted this note thinking I already sent it in goodbye.

But anyways….……

LMFAOOO THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT!!! You’ll be the first to know if I ever actually start using it HAHA honestly you’d probably end up answering some boomer like tumblr questions of mine bc I’m ngl why’s there sm on this platform HAHA now that I think about it though I straight up just don’t post anywhere maybe I should start changing that…..

NO SO TRUE because I just KNOW they’re picking the juiciest stories like I’m not scrolling through that subreddit myself HAHA

Just doing my part for the Karasu community!!! Gotta kick start it somewhere yk hopefully I’m inspiring people to talk and request Karasu more often!!!! LMAO wait that’s actually kinda crazy though HAHAHA I guess the Hiori requester sniffed out your secret side character vibes before I did smh….lowk that is interesting though?? Ok my thought process was definitely 1) ok she knows Kaiser so she’s def read the manga 2) she has no character limits so I’m just gonna shoot my shot (it worked out in the best possible way omg) I’ve def seen blogs that only write for the main characters ****itoshis but a good amount of them do out only a specific handful of characters in their request rules….wait actually pause I think the main tipping point for me is actually when I ended up reading cherry tree and was like no fucking way Karasu mention??? Time to test the waters because I kid you not I loved the way you did cherry tree but I was also so fucking hooked on the Karasu cameo I was like oh em gee….karasu mention and HE TALKS?? Guys….so yeah!! Actually that also jogs my memory and clears up my own thoughts of how I first found you (again…??) my memory’s kinda bad if you couldn’t tell HAHAHA

Ok……Mira really trying to solidify the shower evidence…sus…/j

THATS WHAT IM SAYING HAHAHAAH ok but like I was a little surprised that they were the color scene I thought it would’ve been some Kaiser Isagi Rin looking thing with maybe mini side characters in the bg kinda like your current header! Stop did we just manifest ego glow up too??

That’s funny because I also haven’t watched but ik what you’re talking about because I remember seeing people freak out over it LMAOOO BUT FR omg shin ah so gorgeous??? Also omfg you’re so right??? The side by side of Hak and hair down zantetsu….the resemblance is uncanny….but FR S2 being my real male leads into the spotlight please….

Tbh I don’t have high hopes for the fandom but we’ll know in our hearts that Karasu is just a closeted sweetheart loser!!! Ok the Nagi cheater allegations and red flags are actually INSANE like how tf??????????? I seriously have no idea what people are on do you think bro even has the energy to cheat……

LMAOO you’re giving them a reality check on everyone’s behalf we thank you for your service o7

Honestly pop off LMAOO like who’s gonna go challenge your parents sooo also wtf????!!!! BRO DID WHAT???!!!! wtf I literally have no words what the helllllllll glad you’re safe now but omg I hope you never have to experience something like that again….um wdym you have more stories like that??????????? Idk if you’ve ever seen those wild tiktok sponsored posts of like this weird pheromone attractive perfume I think you need creep repellent you’re rizz is too strong…..wtf…..also ENJOY SWITZERLAND!!!!!

But omg another storm shshshs stay safe??? Manifesting your electricity holds up from now on HAHA I’d imagine there aren’t storms in Switzerland rn so….

-Karasu anon

LMAOO no i always get so distracted that ‘save draft’ button is my savior when it comes to answering asks but ik you can’t really do that when sending them 😭 if i ever take more than like a day to respond without explanation feel free to send a check-in ask because that means i’m either being unprecedented levels of offline or i just didn’t get it/see it!!

tumblr takes soo long to get a hang of i will be happy to answer any boomer questions of yours as i probably had the same questions when i first began using the app!! i will always be here for the reveal if/when it comes

i guess the side character vibes i give off are too strong…also hiori made a cameo in cherry tree alongside otoya and karasu so they might’ve made a similar journey as you LMAOAO especially because they mentioned in the request that they had read and liked cherry tree!! that’s so funny that that fic (which i wrote for the most basic character ever) is what led to side character fans finding me!! omg no because tbh there was no reason for karasu to be the one talking in that scene but i was starving and desperate to write him and i thought he could pull it off and now i’m so glad i did that!! and yeah a lot of people tend to only write for a few characters which i think is fair because i 100% get being uncomfortable writing for characters you’re unfamiliar with 🧐 me personally though…if i’m in a fandom there’s not a character in it I WON’T write for!! if i’m too unfamiliar with them i’ll just do research until i feel decent abt it (that’s what i did for the hiori request hehe read and reread his ln + wiki until i was like “okay i think i can do this”)

I SHOWER I PROMISE I SHOWER (not clickbait!!)

maybe this means the NEL arc is ending soon?? like they’re putting all of the coaches in the color spread because we won’t see them again for a while…honestly i really liked this (much more exciting than the last epinagi one) and i’m happy it wasn’t the kaiser + isagi + rin combo again!! all of the coaches are really interesting to me as they all show diff pitfalls of professionals sports (chris + vanity, snuffy + depression/burnout, loki + selfishness, lavinho + immaturity iirc?? and noa + being boring af /j) honestly i could read a spinoff abt all of them too!! and omg ego glow up too…we sensed the vibes in the air and we knew egonation was about to RISE

SHINAH MY BELOVEDDD omg i actually once started a fic for him that was the precursor for hurricanes / hummingbirds in many ways and i still think abt it sometimes but like the fandom for yotd is so nonexistent that i never got the motivation to finish it!! but i think i answered an ask abt it as part of a tag game once here if you’re in the mood for some mira writing while waiting for bfb!! no but the resemblance between zantetsu and hak is uncanny omg team v trio is actually team shoujo trio all of them look like they deserve to be male leads…zantetsu in a historical fantasy shoujo, nagi in a high school slice of life but also mental health focused shoujo, and reo in a ceo romance shoujo SKDJFHS they’re all so bf i love them

we will always know the truth abt karasu and that’s what matters 😩 no because i need to know…do the nagi cheater/red flag (which are unrelated to his laziness) allegations stem from him “leaving” reo during second selection?? because if so that’s insane to me there’s such a difference between joining a different soccer team and cheating on your romantic partner 😭 in epinagi even reo himself acknowledges that he SHOULD be happy for nagi and nagi is so ‘no thoughts head empty’ about it LKDFJGNS bro fr was putting the pieces together like isagi…”play soccer with isagi -> get better at soccer -> win world cup with reo 😄” HOW IS THIS A RED FLAG???

LMAOOO it’s so bad i feel like looking back my time in high school just sounds unreal?? i sent a picture of my eye to another guy i was friends with (in the same friend group as the other two ironically) to show him my new mascara and no joke he responded with an entire verse comparing my eyes to “the heavens” 😭⁉️ and there was also a point in my senior year when i kinda liked a junior on the soccer team (so bfb reader of me but like. reversed.) but for some reason everyone shipped me with the captain of the soccer team?? like people would harass my FRIENDS asking if i liked him…meanwhile i liked mr junior varsity who didn’t even get playtime 😓 it was so bad too i went to a soccer game and everyone thought i was attending to watch the captain, INCLUDING THE GUY I WAS INTO 😐 i went up to congratulate him after the game and bro fr said “did you see the captain play he was amazing” i just left at that point because what can you even do…these are relatively tame in terms of mira lore sadly KJSHGHDFK this is why i have never had a boyfriend or first kiss or anything like that 💔 they’re all CRAZY 😱

SWITZERLAND SOON!! unfortunately my dreams of finishing bfb before my flight are definitely not coming true sooo ig i know what i’m doing for the entire plane ride!! hopefully the lack of distractions will help me finish it up and then i can just proofread in my downtime and hopefully post at some point soon…feel like i’ve been teasing you all for so long but i promise it will be long enough to make the wait worth it (i hope anyways)
