[osarina]

hi carina !! havent been in ur inbox for a while, hru :)) i hope ur well >^< !!

i'm mainly here to ask if u have any writing tips/advice bc ur lit one of my fave bsd writers ever i adore all ur works sm and recently i've hated everything im writing ajkrnjekncvej SO IM WONDERING IF U HAVE ANY ADVICE CEJFCNJ (hopefully this isnt strange eabfihri)

you dont hafta answer this is u dont wanna btw !!! have a great day mwah <333

REDDDDDD MY SWEET LOVE BUG i've been doing okay!! work hasn't been as awful as i expected it to be, i rlly got lucky with my boss HAHAH - how are you doing?? you had exams right?? i hope they all went well!! sorry it took me so long to answer this one, but i wanted to actually be able to give u a good response so it had to wait until i had time i fear

IT'S NOT STRANGE, ur so sweet im giving u the softest forehead smooch. i'm sorry to hear you've been feeling that way about your writing though - i get it, trust me i do LOL, i go through days and weeks where i literally am revulsed by every word i put down in a doc. actually, i just went thru it like 2 days ago while writing the first chapter of civilian dazai so it's all fresh in the head LOL

honestly, i think the most important tip i have is really basic but u should never force yourself to write just for the sake of getting something out. like, i've done it before and whenever i do, i'm soooo unhappy with the results that it usually makes me go through a huge writing slump -> this happened with uu6 actually, i was so busy but i was trying to force the chapter out on time that i ended up rewriting it like 3 times because i hated it so much. finally i decided to move on to write some pmzai drabbles to clear my head & then came back to uu6 when i started feeling it again and behold, it came with ease. sometimes when i want to write but none of my wips are doing it for me, i'll literally conjure up a huge list of tropes and just read through it until one pops out to me LOL and then ill work on that

another i think basic piece of advice is reading. whether its fanfics, or novels, or whatever. whenever i have trouble liking what i write, i find something to read. reading is actually how i taught myself to write HAHAH my go tos are fantasy/scifi- tolkein, martin, herbert, rf kuang, i've been meaning to read sanderson but haven't had the time yet. honestly, in general, if i have free time and i'm not writing something, 9/10 i'm reading something.

i think plotting is also really important!! even for like one-shots, sometimes i get so lost in the writing that i lose focus of what the fic was originally supposed to be about and that frustrates me into deleting everything i've written. so something i do is i list out all of the scenes i want to see in a chapter or a one-shot before i start writing it so that i don't lose focus.

dialogue is a huge hurdle for me - sometimes i struggle to figure out whether or not my dialogue is realistic, so LOL sometimes i just sit there and speak it out loud, acting out a conversation with myself to see if it flows properly and then adjust accordingly. sometimes i do it for like descriptions/narration too if i think the narration isn't flowing or is too clunky. reading things out loud is a go-to way for me to figure out what's wrong with my writing.

and then lastly, this is more of a mental thing than anything else, but i've just slowly had to teach myself not to be too hard on myself. like i'll get so mad if something doesn't come out exactly how i envisioned it, and it used to genuinely make me so disappointed that i couldn't bring myself to write for days. so i've just slowly been working myself into a mentality telling myself that it doesn't have to be perfect to be great, yknow. and ten times out ten, you're seeing faults in your writing that no one else will take notice of.

so the whole tldr:

only write what you WANT to write, dont force urself to finish/write something

read when you can, whether its fanfic or novels or whatever u can get ur hands on

plot things out so you don't get lost

read things out loud that aren't making sense

work on not being so hard on yourself

Bill Bonner, writing today from Baltimore, Maryland 

When Mr. Trump spoke of a Golden Age in his victory speech, we immediately thought of the Golden Age of Greece... when Pericles delivered his famous funeral oration. Athens was at war, and many people thought they should give it up, sue for peace... and get back to work. Not Pericles. He saw an opportunity to Make Athens Great Again.  

Pericles was a ‘war hawk’... and no slouch as an orator. The Athenians rallied around him, put on their panoplies — sword and shield — and the war cries resounded through the city as the menfolk, young and old, marched out to combat. 

Uh oh... the result was a crushing defeat in which the Athenian empire was destroyed, the city itself conquered, occupied by foreign troops... and its population sold into slavery. 

Not a good example for the uplifting spirit we’re looking for today...

Share Bonner Private Research

So, we turn back to Donald J. Trump.  

And one of our Dearest Readers writes:  

Yes, there's an entire mountain range of debt, but what if Trump's policies actually do make things better? What if manufacturing does return to the US in a huge way? (Does America have any choice other than to incentivize it?) What if energy prices do drop 30-50%? What if regulations and federal government employment are meaningfully cut? What if the economy does start growing at 4-6%? 

Scott Bessent, BSD on Wall Street, and mentioned as a possibility for Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury, had this to add. In the Wall Street Journal: 

The failure of Bidenomics is clear. But Mr. Trump has turned around the economy before, and he is ready to do so again. [Nobel winning economists] may not understand this, but the financial markets have clearly spoken. 

And not since Herbert Hoover’s election in 1929 have they shouted out so loudly. Bitcoin traded over $89,000 this morning. The Dow was falling, but still near a record high.

oh my god wait. we have a john. we have a paul. we have a (herbert) george. all we need is a ringo and we got all of the beatles in bsd

[macaronicoffee]

I want to do this too, so

My BSD headcanons, cuz I have a few

Dazai Osamu

-he/him

-Bisexual demiromantic

-He had so many affairs, mostly with random people, who just met with him in some bar

-Regularly go to gaybars, and normal clubs too- but never had a normal partner

-Just like the op, I hc, he has a crush on Chuuya, but it only developed, when he left the maffia

-Experienced in the bed, but doesn't know anything, how relationship works

Nakahara Chuuya

-he/him

-Gay, but also greyromantic

-He's also stupid for this

-He has a crush on Dazai, but doesn't realized yet (yes, for 7 years)

-He's gentle with women (this is canon) but he also doesn't realized, he doesn't care about them in that way

-He had no relationship, and no affairs yet, he tought he has no time for that

Nakajima Atsushi

-he/him

-I don't have a specific hc for his sexuality, so I write the popular opinion, with mine- Bisexual, with girl preference

-I'm sorry shin soukoku shippers, the bois are cute, but the Atsulucy is cuter (to me!!)

-He's also stupid in this

Kunikida Doppo

-He/him

-Aroace

-Also doesn't realized yet, so he's in the strange phase, where you want to experience these kind of stuff, and you think, everyone struggle with it this much

Nikolai Gogol

-He/him

-Be gay, do crime

-He has a mad crush on Fyodor, but..

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

-he/him

-Aroace (I promise, he's the last)

-He doesn't care

-He knows what's with Nikolai, but he just doesn't give a damn shit

Sigma

-they/he

-Doesn't know anything about their sexuality, me neither

Q

-They/them

-I honestly thougt, it's canon, it was hinted more than once (but it's fact, they didn't say it straight up, so I guess it's a hc then)

Edogawa Ranpo

-he/him

-I ship him with Edgar, but honestly I don't know, so read the op's

Edgar Allan Poe

-he/him

-Also idk, Ranpoe is cute

Higuchi Ichiyou

-She/her

-Straight, and same with the op

Fukuzawa Yukichi

-he/him

-he's asexual, or gay

-It's canon he's 45, and never had any relationship, what can I say

-He's a genderbend catlady, and I love him for that

if Q's gender a hc, I guess I must to write them too

Arthur Rimbaud

-he/him

-gay

Paul Verlaine

-he/him

-gayer

-They are basically canon

-Just they didn't said it straight up, so we should

-They gay, they do crime, good for them (good was for them 😥)

Izumi Kyouka

-she/her

-with her, it's a little strange to me to think to her as mtf (because she's so young) but I don't have a strong opinion here

Ozaki Kouyou

-she/her

-with her easier, but I don't have a strong opinion here too

-It's just little strange to think them as mtf, to me, but I'm not against that

Herbert George Wells

-she/her

-when I read the 55 minutes, at first I thought, she's canonly trans, cuz Asagiri described her face as "masculine" (and then it turned out she wore a mask)

-And her name is a masculine name

-So idk what's up with her, if she's not mtf (maybe her parents hated her from the first minutes.. or she just didn't changed her name yet)

That's it, that's enough (I didn't thought I have this many)

my bsd queer headcanons since it's pride month!!

| dazai osamu

• he/him

• labels don't suit him, he doesn't like it and doesn't want to waste his time thinking about it

• when he was in the mafia, he wouldn't be interested in anyone (sexually or romantically) - i know a lot of people love to think he had a crush on chuuya in fifteen and i agree tho

• however he does like women now

• but he's also attracted to (in love with?) chuuya

• so here's my take : women are fine, chuuya is finer

| nakahara chuuya

• he/him

• gay

• he loves men

• what do you want me to say

• men men men men

• he does flirt with everyone when he's drunk no matter their gender tho

• also i love to think he experienced with both boys and girls when he was in the sheeps

• as for his gender, i mostly see him as a cis male BUT i saw that really interesting hc once, saying that chuuya has a female body because he was originally a girl, but arahabaki being a male, a feels like a boy. so idk, ftm maybe?

| akutagawa ryuunosuke

• he/him

• i'm tempted to say aroace tbh

• but it would sound too cliché given the fact he's kind of emo (no offense bby 🥺)

• so i would say, just like dazai, that he absolutely doesn't care about labels

• he also doesn't know a single thing about it (tachihara once asked him his pronouns, he confusedly replied "i?")

| nakajima atsushi

• he/him

• doesn't know a single thing about it either, the orphanage didn't learn children this kind of stuff

• i feel like he hasn't felt attraction towards anyone EVER so he wouldn't know

• but i like atsulucy, and i like shin soukoku, so why not bi

| yosano akiko

• she/her

• she loves women

• there's no reason for me to think that, i just love her and i want her to love me back ngl

• she did try with men tho

• obviously she didn't like it

| ozaki kouyou

• she/her

• i think she loves men

• doesn't mean she enjoys it tho

• my poor queen

• i could be a better boyfriend tbh

• kisses girls sometimes

• mtf!!!

• my best friend told me she hc her as mtf because her referenced author was a man, i think it's super cool

| izumi kyouka

• she/her

• she doesn't like to think about it for too long

• but when atsushi told her he was bi, she was confused and started wondering about her own sexuality (i think it fits since 12-14 is usually the age when you start asking yourself questions)

• i like her ship with kenji so i don't hc as a lesbian

• but dazai noticed she was struggling with it once and told her she didn't need a label

• i do hc her as mtf too, same reasons as for kouyou

| miyazawa kenji

• he/they

• my little baby doesn't need to struggle with all this stuff 😞😞

• he has a crush on kyouka, but he would be fine if she wasn't a girl

• he likes everyone, no matter their gender

• also he's my son

| kunikida doppo

• he/him

• straight

• sorry kunikidazai enjoyers

• he loves women

• he's just your local straight man to me 😢

• he did try to help kyouka when she was confused, even if he didn't know much either

| edogawa ranpo

• he/him

• does

• not

• care

• at all

• is he experienced? absolutely, he's 26 not 15. does he remember what his bed partners had between their legs? not a clue.

| edgar allan poe

• he/him

• ranpo.

• that's it, that's my hc

• i mean, look at him, this man is head over heels

| lucy montgomery

• she/her

• bisexual with a preference for boys?

• i don't really know pookies

• but she's def kissed a girl before

• cute little crush on atsushi, but it's canon!!

| tachihara michizou

• he/him

• straight but definitely curious

• he's kissed boys, i saw him

• he's married to me

| akutagawa gin

• she/he

• bisexual?? straight?? idk, but i ship her with tachihara so

• as for his gender, i think he thought he was a cis female his entire life, but when people started being confused on whether she was a girl or a boy, she realized it didn't matter to her (and she liked being called a "he")

| higuchi ichiyo

• she/her

• straight, in love with akutagawa r. (she deserves so much better)

• i don't get why people hc as a lesbian when it's literally CANON that she's in love with a boy 😭😭

• like, i think her ship with gin is absolutely adorable but c'mon

| tecchou suehiro

• he/him

• does not really care, but i would maybe say he's asexual

• idk i just can't manage to picture him being easily turned on or anything like that?

• anyway i love him xoxo

| jouno saigiku

• he/him

• i'm tempted to say straight but my ship wouldn't work if i did

• bisexual?

• he once said being a cop was a great way to impress women or something, so i assume he's attracted to them in some way

| q

• they/them

• them being non-binary is, i think, one of the most popular lgbt+ hc in this fandom

• i sometimes even forget it's not canon 💀

| tanizaki junichirou

• he/him

• trans

• trans trans trans

• he screams trans masc

• just like for q, him being trans is rather a popular hc in the fandom

thanks for reading!!!
