hello there!
i used to run an art blog on tumblr back in 2014, but i sadly drifted away from this site and never really posted my art anywhere ever since.
to my past 3k followers, i still miss you guys!
hoping to reach new milestones again in this brand new era of mine.
i will most likely be posting fanart of the following fandoms: jjk, csm, jjba.
thank you for checking out my blog!
#nifty speaks#i literally just made this blog before i gts#so it is very much still in the works#don't judge me for the lack of content#ty! <3

Bungo Stray Dogs - Kafka Asagiri/Sango Harukawa Vol. 11-12: Dazai and The Nurse - A Commentary (*anime spoilers and manga spoilers up to ch.114)
-i do like lucy
-oi oi oi, "there's a way to transfer skills between bodies" and a "skill user who manipulates shadows" knows how to do it? oi, wait.
-oh right, what's grape of wrath doing these days i wonder. in manga real-time these things take place in a short time span, but irl time it feels like ages
-oh yes, poe isn't with the guild anymore.
-atsushi is so sweet and kind and empathetic, but he has NO CHILL, i love that about him
-i want to grab your little hand and squeeze it, dazai-chan
-ah yes. this is where dazai gets shot and this is where i started fuming in the anime season. I AM SO ANGRY AT THIS EVENT! which is a good thing for the narrative, but I AM SO ANGRY! WE DO NOT INJURE DAZAI! HE'S THE *ONE* MAN THAT WE CAN'T FIX, WE DO NOT INJURE DAZAI, WE DO NOT-
-something i've noticed btw, and i think it might be due to the nature of the anime vs the manga timeline and arguably can't be helped, is that the suicidal-maniac part of dazai is much more sparse in the manga. in the anime, it feels like he mentions it way more often.
-you know what kind of antagonist dazai needs -and ranpo, and mori for that matter- after we're done with fyodor? someone genuinely layperson and chaotic. someone who doesn't think 500 steps ahead, someone who acts completely on a whim and has no attachments or lofty goals, someone so random that they simply cannot read them because the possibilities are endless. i'm talking csm denji times one thousand.
-and we still don't know fyodor's actual goal after eliminating the skill users and getting the book. we know fukuchi's plan, but that's not all, surely. we're so not done with this bitch yet.
-i miss hearing their voices. the anime made me more excited to read the manga, the manga's making me more excited to rewatch the anime, and both are making me more excited to get to the spin-offs and such, this is great.
-fukuzawa, i need you to remember that your black sheep son willingly got himself shot to glean information for your agency's sake. alright? I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT, FUKUZAWA! *shakes fist*
-what does "a world free of sin" even mean, fyodor, what do you want! free of skill users is obvious, but sin? are we talking brainwashing, kira cult, what are we talking about?
-atsushi destroyed his clothes before we've even gotten into the story of v12, he had a head start beginning from the cover smh
-ranpo is devastated with fukuzawa in the hospital, my heart. no offense, but fucking fyodor traumatized me in this arc, what with dazai being shot and the whole fukuzawa-mori thing and how it destroyed everyone. you can't blame me that it took a long long while for me to go from "i hate this guy" to "i hate this guy but in a good way."
-SAY IT ALOUD, KUNIKIDA-SAN, REMIND EVERYONE HOW DAZAI IS PART OF THE AGENCY, DAMN!
-this is so clearly a "we really can't have dazai around for this or else the conflict will be over in two minutes" injury.
-dude, atsushi doesn't open doors, he slams doors open, habitually
-CHUUYA IS SO PRETTY
-the way that women aren't sexualized.
-chuuya i want to pinch your little chiwawa cheeks you're so pretty
-on the one hand, the manga story is 100% streamlined compared to the anime, where sometimes i had Thoughts on the plot/focus of the story. on the other hand, i wonder, if i DIDN'T know what backstory i know because of the anime, if i were manga-only, would i feel the lack of something that i couldn't pinpoint, or would i get the same enjoyment even without it?
-okay but WHO are "the rats in the house of the dead," HAVE WE MET THEM
-seriously, no one jumps to "i'll kill" as fast as tanizaki, just lend him to the port mafia and let him have his semi-dark arc. he's so cool when he's being lethal. give him his questionable era, his moment to shine.
-wth is that grin when you're fighting kyouka, aku-kun, put that back where it came from
-IT IS SUCH A BIG MOMENT when aku-kun tells kyouka that he's glad for her that she doesn't yearn death anymore :')
-is it just me or is mori prettier in the manga than in the anime? fukuzawa too, for that matter.
-oh, dazai's clenching his fist when he says "if it weren't for my nullifying skill, i could've had yosano-sensei heal me and join in, but..." oh my heart, he truly wants to be with them. there’s no other reason to express this thought in this kind of visual than to show genuine emotion
-i love dazai so much though :')
-THE FUCK DID YOU DO WITH THAT NURSE, DAZAI?! not fucked her surely, you're injured, but THE FUCK DID YOU DO WITH THE NURSE THAT MADE YOU A '-SAMA'?! tbf, knowing dazai, it's just as likely if not more than likely that he played therapist for her or something. 'cause this is the third time a "woman misunderstanding" is happening in the manga. first you think he's flirting with higuchi, but no actually, he's bugging her. then you think he had sex with kouyou, but no actually, he just talked to her. so it's quite possible that it's a case of "you think he fucked the nurse, but actually he just lent her a shoulder to cry on." and off-manga timeline, at least in the anime, the same thing happened with sasaki, it was all "dazai did WHAT with sasaki?" and the answer was "in fact, he did absolutely nothing." i find it funny that THIS, of all things, is one of bsd's great unanswered questions though, and that there is canonical events that could very well support the "actually no, it wasn't sexual" to what looks like a sexual gag. you could argue that the manga makes a point of pointing out that even though sexual advances for personal gain would be expected from someone like dazai, it is in fact not something that dazai does (and no, chuuya’s “womanizer” comment from when he knew dazai four years ago doesn’t count). although. if we were ever given an answer, i believe it would be far sillier than anything we could imagine. like, they sing karaoke, or he shares his medicine with her and she gets high, he shows her how to beat that really hard mobile game, something utterly, completely stupid.
-fukuzawa/mori vs dazai/chuuya vs atsushi/akutagawa battle, who wins, go! i say dazai/chuuya.
-chonky natsume cat is chonky
-fukuzawa's "child of my own to take care of" is ranpo, isn’t it? IT IS, THAT��S SO CUTE
-okay, but now having read a bit more about the real oogai mori and vita sexualis i want to know more about mori-san’s skill. is elise the general concept of a cute and spoiled childhood that he himself didn’t have, is he projecting sexual desires that he won’t act on through elise, is this the childhood he wanted as in he wanted to be elise, what is it, let’s talk.
#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs manga#manga commentary#ahahaha i had so much to say about dazai and the nurse why#i get more obnoxious in vol.13#twenty pages in i'd already written an essay

Revival Rewatch - Fic Recs
Need something to read to pass the time waiting for date night to start while your (past - present? - future) partner tears his (your?) Unremarkable House apart in search of a lost Twilight Zone episode that he’s sure is somewhere in this pile of old vhs tapes? I don’t read a lot of revival fics but here are a few I can recommend:
Revival Smut:
Subterranean Pool by @somekindofseizure - Office sex, season 7 vs season 10, NSFW, so good.
Gravity by @ms-starlight71 - Sex in the Unremarkable House, NSFW.
Birthday Girl by @storybycorey - It’s her birthday, you know. Fifty-four years old and tucked into the back of a shiny yellow St. Louis cab, wearing a dress probably better suited to a thirty year old, with its slit up the side and its deep V of a neckline, but she looks so damn good in it, she doesn’t care. NSFW, so hot.
Just One by @observeroftheuniverse - Plus One sex scene, what we all needed, NSFW.
Familiar by @phillippadgettwrites - Plus One sex scene, NSFW.
Revival Fix-its:
Untitled by @myassbrokethefall - rewrite of the Plus One conversation in bed so that it actually makes sense.
End of Story by @cecilysass - Plus One conversation in bed fix-it.
Transitive Property of Equality by flicked_switch - fills in the gaps of their relationship over the course of season 11, canon-compliant, NSFW.
Of Monsters and Men, and a Woman by @snickerl - the confrontation with CSM they deserved.
After She Left by @agoodwoman - Over the course of the season 10 timeline, Mulder and Scully have to heal, forgive and learn to trust again as they decide what the future holds for their relationship before it's too late. NSFW. I’ve been trying to find a fic I remember with similar themes to this, where they work through their issues after the breakup in the season 10 era - it was a casefile (like this fic has between season 10 episodes) but I remember couples therapy being a big part of the other fic - if you know what that other fic might be please let me know!
Post Revival:
Times Colliding by @gaycrouton - 2018 and 1998 Mulders switch places, WIP but I just love this concept so much. NSFW.
Reprise by akaJake - Thirty years after Eugene Victor Tooms was mangled to death inside a moving escalator, several murder victims are discovered with their livers missing, ripped from their bodies without the aid of cutting tools. There are no identifiable points of entry at any of the crime scenes. Could Tooms be back?
Straight Out of the 3-Pack by DanaScullyMakesMeFeelAutopsyTurvey - Following the events of My Struggle 4, Scully finds a token from their shared past, inspiring a revelation and a sensual reimagining. NSFW.
It’s Après Ski, Scully by @agirlcallednarelle - Mulder takes Scully skiing for New Year's in 2018 to help them both move on from the events of the year. Some angst, some fluff, some closure. This is what I want for them post-revival.
The Rains of Bimini by @slippinmickeys - How could he have known, when she walked into his office with her bad suit and her earnest smile, that she would be the last person he would ever love? You don’t always realize the momentous things as they’re happening, and so he’d needled her a little; without any thought to his lost sister, he’d used his snottiest big brother voice and accused her of spying. Her. His last, best love. Set far in the future, it’s just lovely.

✖️ 10x01 My Struggle
The one where... 8 years after IWTB Mulder and Scully have apparently broken up and get pulled back into the world of the X-Files by a right-wing conspiracy tv show host and an unnecessary retconning of the original series mytharc.
Best: In 2016 I was just so happy to see Mulder and Scully back on my screen together that I was willing to put up with some bullshit - today… I have no time for this.
Worst: Where do I even start? The unexplored breakup. The diatribe monologues. The retconning of the mytharc. The catch phrase dialogue. CSM seriously? The decision to bring back CSM when we saw his face explode in the original series finale long after he had outlived his usefulness on the show… it’s emblematic of CC’s fundamental misunderstanding of what this revival could have been.
❌ Flashlights
❌ Woods/Desert
❌ Slideshow
❌ Autopsy
✔️ Evidence Disappears
✔️ Scully Misses It
✔️ Mulder Ditch
❌ Sunflower Seeds
✔️ Voiceover
✔️ Catch Phrase: Mulder (TTIOT), Mulder & Scully (IWTB)
✔️ Scully is a Medical Doctor
❌ Mulder is Spooky
❌ Scuuullllaaaaayy! Muullllderrrr!
✔️Dana
✔️ Inappropriate Touching (that I am here for)
❌ Casual Scully
✔️ Casual Mulder (grey tshirt my beloved)
❌ Trench Coats
❌ Bad Tie Watch
✔️ Glasses Watch 😎
✔️ Taking! It! Personally!: Mulder & Scully
50 States: Virginia x19 & DC x101 (44/50)
Investigate: Together & Apart
Solve Rate: 0% (starting over for the revival era)
✔️ Bechdel Test: It does pass with Sveta, but also why does Scully call the nurse “Nurse” and not a name like a considerate human being would do with a colleague she clearly works closely with. It’s not like we wouldn’t be able to tell she’s some sort of medical professional in those scrubs if Scully called her Kate…
MSR: 🐝🐝
Goriness: 👽
Creepiness: 👽
Humor: 👽
Rewatch Thoughts:
William check-in: Scully: … because we have a child together… Exposition alert! Exposition alert! I think Mulder’s aware. But yeah, if you need to give them a reason to continue to fight the good fight after all this time and everything that’s been done to them that’s actually a good one.
Break-up check-in: When I first heard that Mulder and Scully were going to be broken up in the revival it was incomprehensible to me - WHY would CC do that? And then do nothing WITH it, except inject some unexplained tension between the characters... It made me so sad. Now, after several years and having read fanfic that actually explores the fissures in their relationship that might have led to a breakup it makes more sense to me - but on the show it still feels like an attempt to recreate a dynamic from the original run that’s decades out of date, and like a fuck you to shippers who in CC’s eyes watch the show wrong. Because we care about the emotional lives of the characters and not about incomprehensible mytharc rambling 🙄
The episode title My Struggle makes me think first of Mein Kampf, Hitler’s Nazi manifesto - based on an interview I read CC said the title was a reference to Karl Ove Knausgaard’s novels of the same name and referring to what Mulder’s going through but he can’t have been unaware of the Hitler association and it just puts a bad taste in my mouth... Secondly, the Struggles are aptly named for what they put the viewers through - and this is probably the best of the Stuggle episodes 😬
I get that there’s some exposition that needs to be communicated but did the intro need to be SO expositiony? The show is returning for a highly anticipated limited series 6-episode revival and CC starts off not with a cold open to draw you in to the story but with Mulder monologuing while someone slaps visual aids down on the table?
OG title sequence woohoo! 🎉🎉🎉 With Skinner added yay! (Wish that actually meant we got lots of good Skinner this season but alas)
Scully’s still at creepy ass Our Lady of Sorrows booooo…
Scully: He doesn’t know how to reach you, Mulder. I barely know how myself. Wtf does this mean - they’re talking on the phone and she knows where he lives! Emotionally speaking she doesn’t know how to reach him? Just exposition to let us know they aren’t in regular touch? It’s not like she hesitates to call him or go with him to meet Tad O’Malley when he asks.
Revival Scully first impressions: The wig isn’t great, and the color isn’t red enough. She seems more brittle, stiffer in the way she talks. Maybe it’s a conscious acting choice on GA’s part - and I can come up with plenty of character reasons why the 14 years since the show ended, or even the last 8 years since IWTB, might do that to her… but honestly it just feels like GA hasn’t quite found Scully yet. Or maybe it’s that I see more of her more recent roles like Stella and Bedelia in this Scully so it’s harder for me to see her as Scully now.
Revival Mulder first impressions: I like the stubble. And maybe it’s just that I haven’t watched DD in anything else recently but he’s just instantly Mulder for me. Petulant Mulder lol.
Wouldn’t it have been so much more interesting if Sveta was actually a character from a case from the original run? But tbh they didn’t actually investigate that many straightforward abductions. I’m trying to think who it could have been - Ruby from Conduit in season 1?
Classic scoop mark scars? I don’t remember those ever being a thing in the original run. And wouldn’t Scully have them too? Ugh here comes the retconning.
Why does Mulder call Scully Dana in that moment at Sveta’s? It seems designed to needle her - when it’s always been used in moments of intimacy before. Why does he feel the need to poke at her while they’re talking about abductions, and bodily violations, and stolen fetuses - things he knows she has personal experience with…
Ugh, Sveta’s exposition about their relationship and breakup and child - so clunky. And this is all the explanation we ever get to my recollection! I guess we’re supposed to take it as true, or true enough, based on Scully’s reaction.
Sveta says Mulder suffered from “endogenous depression” - which is defined as occurring without an obvious stressful event or trigger… I don’t doubt that Mulder might suffer from depression (we saw him going through depressive episodes in the original series) I’m just unclear why the show wanted to define it as “endogenous” when there are so many traumatic events in his life that must continue to affect him (like uh, losing his entire family, being abducted and tortured, dying and being resurrected, getting sentenced to death and going on the run, being isolated and presumably seeing no one other than Scully for years, losing his son - just to name a few…) - but sure, those experiences have no influence on his mental health or why they might have broken up 🙄
So is Scully a surgeon or not?! In IWTB she was leading an experimental neurosurgery and now she’s just assisting surgeons? Although maybe she got demoted for getting her surgical info from google 😂
Scully is a grown woman and can go for a champagne limo ride with a smarmy guy like Tad O’Malley if she wants - but I HATE it. I can headcanon that she’s just going along with him to try to figure out what his agenda is - and her line later about him being a charming man full of charming BS supports that - but she still thinks he’s charming and is flattered by his attention and blesdfhhvdj it grosses me out.
Why is Mulder so shocked that Sveta was abducted by men when LITERALLY the same thing happened to Scully?? Like, we’ve done this ‘maybe it’s all a big hoax/conspiracy’ storyline before. Also two things can be true!! Humans may be using alien technology against humanity for their own reasons, but that doesn’t mean aliens don’t exist (the opposite actually) and it doesn’t invalidate the things they saw on the X-Files. I get why the show might want to say lalala supersoldiers who/what now? but invalidating the entire original run of the show just seems like an incredibly hamfisted way to go about starting this revival - annoying at the least, if not insulting to original viewers!
Why is Mulder still so distrustful of Skinner after all these years? Skinner’s little hint of a smile when Mulder gives him his number 🥺
Look, they’re at their most dynamic in that scene on the porch and emotionally there’s a lot to unpack - but the fact that Mulder’s this fired up over what seems like nothing we haven’t seen before and we’re back to the Scully trying to rein him in routine is just exhausting and I don’t have the energy for it.
Scully’s expression sitting on the couch listening to Mulder and Tad O’Malley’s rant is me this entire episode 😂 - I hate all of this. Scully: It’s fearmongering claptrap, isolationist techno-paranoia so bogus and dangerous... You tell ‘em Scully!
So are you telling me that CSM somehow reconstructed his skull after it exploded but still needs to smoke cigarettes through tracheostomy tube? Sure.

S10 Rewatch - MSR
I’m not even sure where to start here because all of the writers except CC seemed to pretty much ignore the break up, and CC had no interest in really exploring why they broke up or what it would mean to start working together again post break up. I certainly would have been on board with the show exploring the fissures in their relationship - if it actually wanted to take seriously their personal and shared traumas and how terrible they’ve historically been at communicating. (Although I don’t think they would have even needed to break up if that was the aim - people can be in a relationship and have issues and work through those issues you know! Might actually be interesting to watch!)
But all we get is one line by a random character about how Scully left because of Mulder’s endogenous depression?? Bullshit. And once they start working together again they’re fine. If there was supposed to be some kind of arc this season where they come back to each other (without working through any of the issues that tore them apart apparently) then I guess it all happened when Scully agreed to go back the X-Files in the first episode? Because literally nothing in the rest of the season would have to be different if they had never broken up… Does the Mulder who shows up - to sit with her at her mother’s hospital bed and hold her as she cries and go back to work with her even though it’s a terrible fucking idea and sit and listen as she grieves the answers she’ll never get about her mother and her son - seem like a man dealing with his ex who he still works with or like a man showing up for and supporting the most important person in his life, the love of his life, no matter how complicated the current status of their relationship?
So what was the fucking point of the break up this season? To get back to that Schrodinger’s box place the original series lingered in for far too long where they both were and were not in a relationship as long as the show didn’t directly acknowledge it? Because that ship fucking sailed a long time ago and if CC really wanted to capture the old magic he would have put Mulder and Scully on screen together for more than two minutes.
