The more I think about all that trapped-in-the-Fade situation the more possible ways of interaction pops up in my mind. Just like flowers after rain.

I mean if Solas will be connected to Rook in some abracadabra fade spiritual mental way.

Few tiny thoughts:

What it's like to have a freaking god inside your head? He lives much much longer, he has a very different definition of time, way of thinking, or a depth of feelings.

Rook may not be able to handle the weight of that kind of emotional pressure. (Not because they're weak, because they're mortal).

I mean if an ancient elven god suddenly felt a bit sad it has to be like a qunarian punch in the face. Evening discussion in Lighthouse and Rook idk just starts ugly crying during the conversation for no reason. Or flies into a berserker rage because the weather isn't that good. Or catching up a devastating depression mood like Howl (because Solas remembered his vhenan 🥲)

Solas thinking or murmuring on ancient elvhen which Rook doesn't understand and it drives them crazy. Like a broken radio you can't mute, "blah-blah, dirthara, blah-blah, set'lin".

While everyone else speaking Rook is also continuing arguing inside their head, having two conversations at a time. And it's not always going well.

For example:

Harding: ..and then we finally found..

Rook: CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR A FREAKING MINUTE??

Harding and rest of the squad:

Memories mingle all the time. Flares up like fireflies over and over again. Old, disturbing or just too strange to this world. But some memories are surprisingly understandable. Maybe familiar even.

If solavellan involved the first meeting must be soooo embarrassing.

"I see that "Inquisitor" for the first time in my life, why in the hells I feel so.. sad and full of regrets? Why the heart beating so fast.. and wtf is this? Am I, what, sweating now??"

Some changes is going. Rook started to use words they never prefer before. Some of those words on elvhen they can't translate but just know the meaning. Solas accidentally found himself asking not the "did you consider the upcoming consequences of your own actions?" but "what the fuck are you doing now?"

Undesirable thoughts and growing anxiety. "Am I still me? Just me? What is this, my thoughts or nightmares he sent to manipulate my fears? Or..?"

Meanwhile Dreadwolf scratching Rook's sculp inside with claws in silent rage, forced to be an observer incapable of continue the fight he started a long long ago while two evanuris are fleed from the cage.

And there it goes another day and all starts over again...

such a capturing topic to speculate with oh gooods

[chunkymamatam]

Do you have any more info about shifting to MHA? I know that was probably a while ago but I really wanna try shifting there so yeah!! :DDD

Yeah. It was a really long time ago. Like 4 years lol

So this was actually the first time and place I wanted to shift to. It was mostly mini shifting.

One time I went and I “gained sentience” as me and my friends like to call it lmfao in the street. I looked around and I was like “oh shit. I’m actually here.. huh. I wonder if I can bother Hawks” I saw he was busy and I was like “man I’ll go bother Aizawa he’s too busy with fan girls for me to introduce myself.” I go to walk off and I hear flapping of wings

My first thought was “ah he has hero work to do.” Tell me why this man lands in front of me and knocks me on my ass. That shit hurt like a bitch 😭THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO ASK IF I NEED HELP GETTING UP LIKE HE DIDN'T DO THAT SHIT ON PURPOSE

Also keep in mind I had never met that man until then. I shifted home it freaked me out so bad lol It's funnier when I remember over there my clone teleported her ass away pfff

The next time I managed to shift there I was in an alleyway and all of a sudden a feather floats down. This stalking ass bitch was watching me up above. He drops down and I kindly (NOT) tell him he needs to stop doing that shit (He hasn't done it since pfffff) and he was like

"So.. You're the one who teleported away in the middle of a crowded area?"

"What does that matter? The fuck were you doing watching me???"

"That's for me to know and you to never find out! Haha anyway duty calls" THEN THE BITCH FLIES AWAY Keep in mind I didn't think he was actually stalking me and that's why I didn't freak out more and this next bit happened.

I left after that interacting and came back a different night. It was night and I was just trying to figure out wtf to do now that I'm here and tell me why this man appears behind me saying some "We meet again!" Now if I call you one of my many claimable slurs...(/j) but seriously tho little 18 year old Tam was just happy to be there lmfao. He comes at me with the "I just got off of work you wanna get a bite to eat"

... I said yes and he finally asked my name LMFAO I ended up going to his place at the end of the night. Crazy I know but again I didn't think he was ACTUALLY stalking me okay????

It gets better because after that I ended up accidentally shifting into the LOV hide out LMFAO I literally don't know why tf my clone was there but I was trying to get out of there so fast. They wanted me dead bro. Now I momentarily shot myself in the foot when I was arguing why they should let me live. Shiggy asked why I should be allowed to live and I was like "I got dirt on everyone"

he said "prove it"

I was like "Well I got dirt on everyone here too so I could probably prove it like that"

BRUH BAD MOVE THEY WANTED ME GONE EVEN WORSE WHEN I PROVED IT

I revealed to Dabi I knew who he was and gave a few details about every person there that I definitely shouldn't have know from there perspective but then Magne came in and I was like "HOLY SHIT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE????" proceeded to give them life saving advice for her and went home cuz that shit was TOO stressful. had to let my clone deal lmfao

It worked considering I was a free man when i went back. did it last long? no. Was freedom nice for a while?? yeah. Tell me why I run into Hawks and Endeavor. He introduced us and idk if it's just his face but bro was mean mugging me. Endeavor please stop looking at me like that I haven't even started dogging on you verbally yet. They end up running off to do their job or whatever and I walk off. Tell me why I see Shigaraki creeping in an alleyway just watching. HELLO??? I cross the street and end up getting snatched up by Dabi and Twice anyway but fucking christ bro. They take me to the warehouse and tell me why they hit me with the "You were right" MAGNE FUCKING DIED BRO I WAS SO UPSET

Long story short they forced me to stay with them after that. Dabi for the longest time gave me the cold shoulder and was acting like he hated me. I'm just gonna say he didn't and not go too far into what happened cuz idk how old you are. There was also this time when Shigaraki kissed me out of nowhere. I was drunk and rambling and crying about something to him and he kissed me. Gonna be honest I thought he just wanted me to shut up and he was just following the trope. I didn't think he liked me. I only found out because he found out what happened with Dabi and chased me down to confront me about it. It was a wild time. I was so fucking scared bro.

He said "How did you not know I liked you??? I literally kissed you"

"I thought you just wanted me to STFU!"

Shiggy after I said that dumb shit:

I'm fucking stupid when it comes to people liking me in short. I stopped going to that specific DR shortly after that. I have other MHA DRs if y'all wanna hear about them.

minidura chapter 4 react

simon i SWEAR ill get you out of there and that horrendous art style

also though. TEENAGE SHIZAYA CHAPTER LETS GO???? idk if narita made the minidura or if it's a separate illustrator but they are giving the FOOD rn

i was wondering where the official knowledge that simon forced izaya and shizuo to eat sushi together came from. i mean i guess this isnt official and it was probably stated in the anime somewhere but still, good to see it illustrated pff

AAAAAAAAA ive seen this image around tumblr but i didnt realize it was from minidura 😭 i thought it was fanart or smth (<-dumbass)

wait im actually going crazy over this akwjhkjdshs they're washing dishes together!!! now we just need them to do laundry and taxes and-

im going to go over the image limit this time on god

wow cant believe they're bathing each other too (<-delusional)

something about the first shizuo panel reminds me of aggretsuko. which is. actually. huh. arent they both like adults with anger issues. durarara aggretsuko au when

also deadass i forgot dennis existed until i read about him in a shizaya fanfiction and i was like "who's dennis" pfgfkhkd

so true though never throw kitchen knives kids

LMFAO HE JUST GAVE THEM MORE WORK INSTEAD OF RESPONDING

they're gonna be here all day at this rate. actually shizaya as fast food/restaurant staff au when because they'd have the stupidest rivalry known to man and i need it

fucking imagine shinra walks in and sees shizuo and izaya working by the counter

i hope izaya gets to eat fatty tuna by the end of this though. god knows he's gonna look cute as hell

made funnier by the fact that izaya at least definitely knows how to cook with how long he's been on his own and needed to feed his sisters

damn ive actually never seen someone's vein burst in a way where blood sprays out in anime akshGKJHJKSD thats impressive actually

dont look now but this may or may not inspire me to make a mermaid/pirate au (<-obsessed)

who needs kaiju battles when you can have blue fin tuna vs crab

they're literally never leaving this place bro they're gonna be stuck here for eternity. anyway here's a literary analysis of durarara pointing out why russia sushi is actually representative of dante's inferno /j

i want to read those blurbs so baddddd screams sobs bangs table

rip dennis dude he doesnt get paid enough to deal with shizaya

rippp time to listen to izaya pine hopelessly for the man he cant stop annoying for five seconds

simon had the right idea. too bad shizaya are shizaya

what is that face izaya. i cant tell if he's irritated that simon's right or irritated that simon cant understand how instinctual their hatred is or amused that simon thinks he and shizuo could be friends or amused because he thinks meaningless fighting is hilarious

oh......that kind of hurts actually

i can imagine izaya suggesting it as a joke and then lying in bed that night thinking about how it's never going to happen and it really sounds like a funny joke huh? (he is not crying)

i cant believe simon's been dealing with these bitches for like 7 years now like dude has the patience of a saint

😭give him his 50,000 yen simon

we can see that the crack in the sign is actually fixed now too ahhh time really flies when you're stuck in a relationship of mutual hatred

chibizaya is so cuteeeeeeeee

im sure he intended to paint himself that way in his recollection though pff

THATS RIGHT SHIZAYA BE THE PORCUPINES. SNUGGLE. DO IT

step aside erika, simon is the face of the shizaya nation now. especially with that "you just have a shizuo complex dont you" quote that i found the other day which i still havent recovered from

HAUDGHUSDH orihara izaya, pro unreliable narrator

hilarious how we never see tom's face. just his dreads lmfao

dennis and simon are so done with like izaya bro i think they can tell at this point that he's horrifically pining and has no healthy outlet for it. the bills go to him because they're bullying him

it'd be funny if they billed him 50,000 at the end actually pft

I KNEW WE'D GET THEM EATING TOGETHER!!! I HAD FAITH

they're so cute oh my god can i make that my header or something

10/10 chapter im going to punt izaya into a wall and get simon flowers

What is your favourite headcanon for TheSunVanished? Also if you could add anything to it, what would you add?

I thought long and hard on how to answer this and honestly? I cant really think on anything to add to the story that has been presented so far. I do have some ideas for stuff that could be added in the future (remainder of season 3)

Nat getting a remember album, but instead of pushing her to make some big sacrifice it pushes her to become her own person and to move away from following in tucker and tsv's footsteps. The album dissappears when she follows them too closely, and a new photo is added when she does something truly unique to herself and makes her own decisions

Danyon appearing one final time in the story to put an end to his tale. I'm thinking him and nat get stuck together in some house for a few days while a ship flies over and nat ends up interviewing him because she notices he's acting a bit different than last time (air of defeat around him). Danyon is an asshole the whole time, but gets really mad when talking about tsv's death, eventually telling her to fuck off and stops the interview. The warm spot is colder by the next day and danyon is already gone when she wakes up. He never shows up again. The clip would show that danyon sucks but he did still care a little bit about tsv, mostly out of guilt for how he treated him. He would have never changed his behavior, though. Tsv made him feel powerful, and beyond that aspect danyon cared very little.

Lucid reveals to nat that theseus was the son of two lucid members who died going to the fake coordinates nat sent them. "You killed his family nat. This is all your fault." That kind of psychological manipulation is right up lucid's alley and i really think it'd break nat too. Really get the plot going there

Another idea is that I would change how tsv died. I would have him annouce that he was dying via the doctor's results and then have him spend more time with tucker and nat. They play games and hang out when they have time. More posts like the dancing video basically. You even get to see tsv's mental state improve a little bit and he ACTUALLY starts to move on from danyon. Then as he further deteriorates (coughing up blood, weak, ect) he makes his difference and blows up. Idk i just feel like it all went so fast and having tsv live just a month or two longer would have made it more meaningful

As for my favorite headcanon? Honestly probably my headcanon that a group of strobes is called a rave. I think it's fun

House of Earth and Blood Chapter 15

So, it seems Syrinx is indeed only a part-time guard-chimera, as he's currently chilling with Bryce in her apartment. Which begs the question - who (or what) is guarding whatever it is that Syrinx guards when Syrinx isn't there? Alas, the book has no answer.

We get a rather lengthy description of what Syrinx looks like, which seems to essentially boil down to "slightly lion-like pug." Bryce angsts because apparently Fury told Juniper what was going on, but Fury still won't contact her directly. All I can say is, know that feel. It sucks.

She spots Hunt watching her from a rooftop across the road and shuts the curtains. He then immediately calls her to demand she open them. Obvious creepiness aside, was Hunt seriously just sitting there in plain view as he watched her? Jeeze, he sucks at his job.

Anyway, Bryce is trying to watch TV.

The idea of the Umbra Mortis watching a dating competition was laughable enough that Bryce hit pause on the live show. At least she could now speed through commercials.

I mean, I know even these days you can "pause" livestreams (well, not the stream itself, but your feed of it), but... will they really let you fast-forwards the ads? In capitalist hell? What happens if half the livestream fast-forwards and the other doesn't? Unless Bryce is just referring to it being paused now and being able to fast-forward until she catches up. Idk. I'm probably overthinking this.

“Protecting me doesn’t entitle you to invade my privacy.” [...]“Other people would disagree.” She opened her mouth, but he cut her off. “I’ve got my orders. I can’t disobey them.”

Bryce makes a good point, but uugggghhh, of course his "orders" supersede it and make everything a-ok. He's not stalking her and trampling on her autonomy, you guys, he's just following orders! How long before Bryce stops bothering to even try to set boundaries? I won't lie, this kinda reads like a token resistance that the book put in to deflect claims that Bryce was weirdly okay with being stalked/accusations of Hunt being a stalker. "No, see, she protested once! But Hunt had orders, so what can ya do!"

Ahhh, we even get a reference to Hunt's angst when dismissing the stalker-ness of it all! "No slave can disobey their orders," indeed. I mean, sure, he probably can't, but... it still reeks of making it "okay" for him to stalk her. We aren't allowed to be appalled that Bryce is being stalked, because think about how hard it is for Hunt to be a slave!

Hunt’s chuckle skittered along her bones. “We’ve been ordered to get to the bottom of these murders. So I hate to tell you this, sweetheart, but we’re about to get real up close and personal.” The way he said sweetheart—full of demeaning, condescending swagger—made her grind her teeth.

I really hope this is a sign that maybe Bryce will hate him and he won't actually be the love interest. I mean, I won't hold my breath, but still. One can dream.

They banter over the phone a bit. Nothing that seems particularly important.

She clearly saw the middle finger Hunt lifted above his head. Shadow of Death, indeed.

Yes, book, point out yourself how ridiculous it is that all these allegedly scary badasses behave like utter children. Saves me the trouble.

Bryce purred, “You would make a good delivery boy with those wings.” Angels in Lunathion never stooped to such work, though. Ever.

Yes, they never "stoop" to delivery work. But don't worry, Bryce is totally disgusted by rich people and their condescending attitudes towards The Poors.

Bryce shuts the curtains again, Hunt whinges about her trying to enforce boundaries, she tells him to fuck off. So he flies right up to the window.

The Fallen angel hovered right there. Glaring at her.

A bit nitpicky, because I'm pretty sure every fiction every does this, but it's actually really, really difficult for flying things to hover. I think the hummingbird is the only bird that can? So Hunt better have his wings going hummingbird speed.

“Spare me.” Hunt’s dark hair shifted in the wind. The rustle and beat of his wings overpowered the traffic below—and the humans and Vanir now gawking up at him.

Wasn't it meant to be a secret investigation? Well done, Hunt. You really, really suck at your job.

They argue more - Hunt seems to be under the impression that Bryce making a list of suspects requires his presence for some reason, and Bryce keeps telling him to fuck off.

Fucking alphahole.

Okay, this continues to annoy me. I've been thinking about made-up swear words, and why some work and others don't, and I think I've got it boiled down to this:

The root word needs to not have an existing, non-swear meaning

The root word needs to be a swear word on its own

The root word needs to exist in a larger grammatical context

So, if we compare this book's "alphahole" to, say, "smeghead" from Red Dwarf. The root word, "smeg" is not a real word (in English, at least). Ergo, we learn what it means from context on the show, and we very quickly see it being used in place of various expletives. Furthermore, the word "smeg" can be transformed grammatically e.g. "smegging," "smegged off," "smeg-for-brains," etc. It makes it feel like an actual word that we'd just never heard of before now.

"Alpha" is none of these things. It's a real word with a real meaning (in English), which means we have to override our initial understanding of its meaning every time it comes up. At no point in the book so far has it been used as an expletive on its own - only in the context of "alphahole." And it also can't fit in a wider grammatical context - alphaing, alphaed, etc. It's not even used in other compounds so far e.g. alphahead. All this makes it sound fake and forced, instead of a natural part of language. And so, it sticks out like a sore thumb instead of blending seamlessly into the world.

Anyway, moving on.

Hunt’s stare lifted to her own again. “Do you own any weapons?” The purely male gleam in his eye told her that he assumed she didn’t.

Does... does the book realise how utterly, utterly creepy that sounds? He's got a "purely male" (sweet jesus I hate that phrase) gleam in his eye when he thinks of Bryce being defenseless in her apartment. Like... how are we meant to find that anything but creepy? It sounds like he's planning to go in there and attack her and do "purely male" things to her.

Understandably, Bryce shuts the window in his face. We then POV switch to Hunt.

Hunt wondered how much trouble he’d get in if he chucked Bryce Quinlan into the Istros.

Given the only excuse you have for being here is protecting her, probably a lot.

Since it's a Hunt POV, that means a lot of angst and infodumping. He calls Isaiah, who's at the gym (but Hunt makes sure to tell us he could be with his boyfriend, because we were overdue for a sex reference, I guess), then tells us about all the cameras in the city and how indestructible they are, the various powers of chimeras (which include picking locks, opening doors and teleporting, apparently), and the circumstances around why "Lowers" are traded like property. He mentions that attempts to change the laws designating them as property had been shot down, but fails to tell us whether these Lowers have higher than animal-level intelligence or not, so I'm not sure how mad I need to be about it yet.

Anyway, apparently Hunt has called to whinge about his assignment, after a mere ten hours, because the chimera teleported over and bit him on the ass. And then Bryce saw him rubbing his ass, which apparently translates to "worst morning ever."

See, this is another reason why I have trouble taking his angst seriously. He moans about this as if it's the Worst Thing Ever, yet he's allegedly meant to have survived multiple stints of slavery and torture. Get over yourself, Hunt.

And oh, apparently he knows Bryce's windows are enchanted because he tried to get in them all last night. Holy fucking shit is this guy creepy. The only reason he didn't break into her house (and do "purely male" things to her?) is because he was literally stopped by magic. So far, it seems Bryce is having none of it, but... in a flirtatious manner. Or at least, what this book considers flirtatious. The book literally has no idea how utterly horrifying this is.

“The emergency, asshole, is that I might kill her before we find the real murderer.” He had too much riding on this case. “You’re just pissed she’s not cowering or fawning.”

Isaiah with the real observations lol.

“Gazing through the window of a nail salon like a gods-damned stalker.”

Oh, so... he's aware he's acting like a stalker? And... he doesn't seem to think this might have something to do with Bryce not wanting to cooperate with him? No? *sighs* I mean, of course he doesn't, but still.

“You’ve faced down enemy armies, survived Sandriel’s arena, gone toe-to-toe with Archangels.” Isaiah chuckled. “Surely a party girl isn’t as difficult as all that.” The line cut off.

Thank you, Isaiah, thank you. I think I will go ahead and like you. Don't make me regret it.

Anyway, apparently not only is Hunt once again just standing in the open watching Bryce, he's making all the other patrons of the nail salon nervous. This guy, just... I don't understand how anyone is meant to like him. He's just a grade-A asshole. No redeeming qualities whatsoever (contrary to what the book seems to think, a tragic backstory is not a redeeming quality. All villains have got origin stories, after all).

Hunt continues to watch Bryce get her nails done, bitching and moaning about it the entire time. Book. This isn't interesting. I don't want to listen to Hunt whine about having to do his job.

Anyway, Bryce eventually finishes and comes out.

She popped open the umbrella, nearly taking out his eye. “Did you have something better to do with your time?” “You made me wait in the rain.”

She didn't make you do shit, Hunt. You could have left. Or just gotten your own damn umbrella.

There is one thing I will concede to Hunt, though - his main source of irritation (well, one of them) is that Bryce isn't working on the list of suspects. We've yet to hear from her why this might be the case (or if it even *is* the case), but I will give him that, at least. Doesn't excuse the stalker behaviour and general assholery, though.

Speaking of assholery, he decides to threaten her into making the lists, implying he'll report her for hindering the investigation if she doesn't.

But the chapter isn't over, because we POV switch back to Bryce. She's at work. Immediately, Lehabah is moping at her to let the handsome angel in. Fuck off, Lehabah. The angel is a rapey stalker.

Bryce and Lehabah banter about Hunt for a bit, and Bryce warns Lehabah (who is a fire sprite, in case anyone forgot. I did) not to get too close to the documents she's working on, since fire sprites are made of fire. Does beg the question of why you'd hire/buy one to guard a library, but the book doesn't seem concerned about that. Surely an air sprite would be better, to do some temperature/climate control?

Bryce tells us a bit more about sprites in general - apparently, they're all automatically slaves, because they joined the angel rebellion and "dared" (Bryce's words, not mine) protest their status as Peregrini, a kind of Lower.

So, it looks like Lowers are of above-animal intelligence, and given they're treated as property, makes anyone who "owns" one a slave owner. Including Bryce with Syrinx. Lovely.

And before anyone says that chimeras might be of animal intelligence, apparently Syrinx talks to Lehabah. So no, they are capable of communicating.

And... well, I'll have to see how the book handles it before I can really make a call. I don't believe that books should shy away from topics just because they're politically taboo. That includes writing from the perspective of characters who are okay with the taboo thing, because it's considered okay in their world or whatever. However, they do need to handle them in an appropriate manner, which I have absolutely no faith this book can do. It doesn't even seem to realise that Syrinx is technically Bryce's slave.

And I get that "handle appropriately" is pretty nebulous. But it can be done. An example I like to think of is GRRM with A Song of Ice and Fire - Westeros is indisputably a sexist setting. However, the female characters have a wide range of personalities, goals, flaws, perspectives and so on; but most importantly, they're shaped in a realistic way by both their environment and experiences. They make decisions; they make mistakes. And those mistakes have consequences. They are people, first and foremost, and they behave as people would do in such a setting. So, while the setting is sexist, and many characters within that setting hold sexist views, the writing itself is not sexist. Similar principle applies to things like pro- vs anti-slavery views.

So many books seem to end up the opposite (with both ACOTAR and this book being prime examples) - they think they're creating a non-sexist setting (on paper, at least), and not only fail at that, but end up creating a sexist book as well.

Well. Anyway. Back to the book.

Apparently the fire sprites (and all sprites, presumably) once belonged to the House of Sky and Breath, but were kicked out for their part in the rebellion. Not entirely sure what that means.

Lehabah sat up, legs crossed. “Membership in the Houses is not something a government can decree. Our expulsion was in name only.”

Despite all the infodumping that's been going on, it really isn't clear what role the houses play in all of this. They don't seem to be part of the government structure at all. The preamble at the start of the book seemed to suggest they were just for categorising the various creatures in this world. But Jesiba left her house and joined another; the sprites were kicked out, but in "name only," apparently. So what the heck are the houses? Do they have leaders? Does the government have control over them? Why have you explained so much other shit but neglected to clarify the very things your books are named after????

Also, it seems the book is aware of the stupidity of putting a fire sprite in charge of the library, but apparently some of the books try to escape sometimes, so that makes it okay. Or, hear me out... you could put someone in charge who won't burn the escaping books when they try to catch them?

Jesiba calls - there's a client coming soon. Bryce describes the gallery to us some more, including reminding us about the animals in tanks that may or may not have once been people. Book, when you've dragged things out long enough that you need to be reminding us of descriptions (we're only at ~20% of the way through, btw), that means there's too much god damn padding. Get on with the fucking story.

Anyway, apparently Bryce is going to be doing something later tonight that Hunt won't like, but she doesn't tell us what it is, and the chapter finally ends.

.... 7 am...? BRO IT'S 1:30 AM HERE You're in the future fr fr

💌 : 𝜗𝜚 I know, it’s crazy😭 Like it’s so fucking early here and i’m just working on some random thrists/drabbles of Sergio/Professor bcuz idk what else to post to feed ya’ll :(( i’m clearly obsessed with that man so bad that I think i need to be sedated and placed 10 miles away from him if I ever met him (which sadly I can’t🙁) And yeah i think I am in the future, time flies pretty fast… 𝜗𝜚

[brattyfrenchvampire]

It's been 1 month and surprisingly harder than I thought to not drink. We've gone months and even over a year before without trying. I think it's that finality that is difficult. It was easy when I had a choice and just said no. Where saying "I can't" or "I don't" makes me want to fight back for some reason. I suppose I felt I had more control when I chose when I drank versus abstaining. (I'm aware of how much that's an addict's thoughts.)

Alcohol is a tricky thing. For one it's everywhere and for cheap. Also, if you turn down someone's "gift" of a shot or drink they take it personal. I'm not even talking about the guys trying to get into anyone's pants. (Though they're annoying as well.) You have people from your own group that will order drinks without asking you. It's lightning fast, "here do these shots, also here's a whole drink...we're leaving in 5 minutes so you better slam it. It has red bull in it." Okay, yeah the last time I was at a bar I really didn't care for dude bros pressuring me. I actually can have fun without alcohol, besides I know my own pace best. I can drink fast but I don't chug. Idk it felt very disrespectful. (Besides this vessel needing to avoid caffeine for our heart. Yes, have an energy drink. It will give you wings when your heart flies out of your throat.)

Anyways, I might be hanging out with some of the group this week and I'm sure we'll end up at a bar or someone's house with booze and I'll have to tell them I don't drink anymore. I wish that was something that was more accepted. I don't care if they want to drink around me, I'll still hang out at bars with them, nothing is changing other than I don't want alcohol in this vessel. How does 1 sober person affect anyone's fun? I'm not policing what they want to do and put into their own bodies. I'm certainly not judging either. If they're that weirded out by it I can always have an edible or smoke. Like why does everyone have to do the same stuff?

It's horrible but part of me says that since I'm done drinking, I should have one last blow out. 1 more fun time. Why?! Non, it's a good thing the last time was so terrible. That's what I need to remember. Being dehydrated, having fucking neurologic issues, probably needed to go to the hospital. That's the reality of drinking. I always take it that step too far. I think I'm tougher than what I am. I've never had a drinking problem where it was too often. But why is it every other time I drink I go on a bender? That is a problem. The quantity, it's too much. It's dangerous even, I need to treat this vessel better it's fragile as is. I've had a couple nights I thought a drink or two would be nice. There was 1 night it was pretty bad, shocked me actually, as I never considered I had a problem with alcohol. I've made it a month, how can I even entertain the idea of one more hurrah? And throw that month away? This will be more challenging than I originally thought, but it's worth it.

Honestly I think it’s just the natural “extreme” of his power. Like how we saw Diego’s bullet manipulation possibility in the season 2 opening. I don’t remember for sure, but I feel like Reginald experimented on him to make him hit that strength in previous seasons, and then it was only possible through a means that forced those ape features on him. Now Luther’s ape mode is just there because they’re all at “extremes” for their powers.

I’m more confused with Lila, Allison, and Klaus’s new tricks.

Like for me the others at least make a little sense-

Luther- Super strength and durability charged to even more strength and durability with the side effect of unlocking animal genes- similar unlock to what Reginald experimented out of him before

Diego-Okay normally bullets are so tiny fast and forceful it never even occurred to him to try his powers on them because it was ridiculous, supercharged to doing it on instinct- very cool and clear

Five-Teleporting through space and traveling through time supercharged to teleporting to a place that lets him travel through timelines- there’s enough connection I buy it and it’s compelling

Six-The monster in his chest is now a part of him and the tentacles are now his. (Not sure if this is what happens but that’s the way I interpreted it)

Viktor-Already OP monster power is difficult to supercharge- I feel like they kinda pulled it off well though. It felt almost like they made it smaller, and counter intuitively made Viktor stronger as a result- because instead of him being this slow build bomb that’s almost too powerful to be of use without causing friendly fire, suddenly his power can be summoned really quickly and directed in little energy balls right at his targets.

But then there’s Allison, Klaus, and Lila.

Allison-Okay sure not having to say “I have a rumor” makes sense. But she only controls someone’s mind once this way. Mostly the power up they focus on with her is like, telekinesis or something? What’s the connection there? I feel like they should have leaned into the way they portrayed her supercharged in the S2 opening, where she still “heard a rumor” but instead of just controlling minds, it affected physical reality. Could have achieved most of the same things she did with her telekinesis, even. “I heard a rumor, I busted your balls” type deal.

Klaus-So okay? His powers are the same but…He floats/flies? (And why did they bother with the trick shaky table when he could have just made things look believably mystical by floating in front of them idk). He also just doesn’t use it. We see him get the ability just with a throwaway moment of him chilling meditating and floating and they use it in one moment at the end where they would have usually used a pre-Season 4 Five blink. Otherwise he’s just got his normal abilities. It’s possible he unconsciously made Thunderbolt’s barking audible, but as he made Luther essentially completely physically present in Season 3, that doesn’t seem new.

And Lila- Power mimicry supercharged is fucking eye lasers? Her original power isn’t even visual, she mimics Viktor’s powers in S3 through a closed door. I feel like they just wanted to give her a power that was completely her own but it was just really jarring and random. I would have liked to see her become a shapeshifter, or create clones of herself, or travel through mirrors- or all of those things, or any combination of those things, or just ANYTHING relevant.

Not even all I want to say, but I’m gonna cut off my tangent so I can sleep lol.

Someone please answer me why does LUTHER HAVE THE APE BODY

That's not his default

His default is super strength

Please explain someone please

[noelssluttt]

Can’t stop thinking about camerons comments since i read them about noel

First one is that “he didn’t think would noel come here ,and he want noel to leave his house more “

The other one was when a fan asked noel about coming to london he said “I’m down” but cam didn’t here it and said something about noel “not doing it “

When the fan informed him about noel coming he said “yeah i love london”

I fully understand noel side , not wanting to leave the house and having no energy or patience to do the stuff you really want to do

It is hard and the more you spend time at home the more you don’t want to leave

Most his hobbies are ‘alone ‘ hobbies you don’t talk to people doing them

.painting .reading .working out .writing ,All of it is stuff you do alone

Funny enough that’s literally what i do everyday + leaving for class not talking to anyone then coming back to my studio to just set there and do ‘alone ‘ stuff alone

I wouldn’t say i feel lonely and i don’t think he does ,He have a wife yeah but staying in your own bubble everyday doing your own thing ,Watching something and reading something I don’t think they have conversations as much as you think a married couple ‘should’

Being in a relationship for 2 decades is pretty much living with a sibling you don’t talk to them a lot you just exist in the same house ,In different parts of the house ,His house is pretty big not small so they have a lot of space between them

I can imagine him waking up going to work out coming back settling on his phone - reading a little-phone again -eat something-phone again-talk a little with wife -phone again -write?nothing no inspiration-phone again -work out 2-eat-phone again on bed -sleep,And coffee here and there

Is it lonely?not really you don’t really feel it you don’t feel much it’s like you’re sleep walking and time just flies by ,You do tell yourself your doing something but you forget about it somehow ,And now you’re back at square one

Do i want him to do everything and for this con to help him? Yeah ,But it’s not that easy ,He would probably finish his life like this ,Like a zombie until the end ,Dying like that is not weird or never happened before it happens all the time the difference is he’s famous and have people looking at him

Part of me is very thankful to cameron for trying to get noel out and i do really wish it work and noel slowly starts to do stuff with other people

Seeing noel in that prospective is like seeing a pov of myself ,And understanding how hard and stressful it is to want to do something and feeling useless even when you’re as useful as you can ,It’s hard because in your mind time is going really really fast , your brain is off most of the time

And for other people it’s not as fast so you see them do all this stuff and you feel like shit for not doing anything ,Then you’re literally back at square one,Trying to get out of it

Some call it a depression unending circle , going to therapy and getting medication is not going to fix it ,Literally noel is the only person who can fix it ,and it’s sad , even if he want to fix it it’s not just like that,It requires a lot of strength and patience to go through

I couldn’t do it so i just live with it and try my best to live next to it

part of me thought maybe noel did that too? He gave up? He just live with it and wait until somehow it goes be itself,he doesn’t have enough strength to try getting out of it ,he said it himself he’s not a strong person

It’s a very depressing topic but i couldn’t shake out Cameron comments out of my head

Now I think that’s the last time we see him out this year

Idk fuck this

[i-am-cesear]

I don't know much about BSD because I still did not watched most of the things nor I read the manga but Tanizaki is my ultimate favorite character since he played the bomber and I also want to say stuff about him. So. Yeah. Also, the last time I watched BSD was Cannibalism Arc so my examples are coming mostly from that and before Cannibalism.

I love how Tanizaki makes himself look like this weak, ordinary guy who is not flashy like other ADA members and "not having an ability suitable for combat" but played the bomber so well, almost choked Higuchi to death, almost killed Gin AND Mori and flies a freaking helicopter. If Akutagawa was not there, Higuchi was fucked. The way he used his ability in Anne's room?? That guy knew what he was suppose to do and he was great at it.

I agree about how he is close to evil because I remember how he was so ready to kill Mori without blinking. He was like, "Would that save the President? Ok, let's kill Mori." And I am not a Mori supporter or anything, don't get me wrong but he had no moral compass about it. When he sees red, then it's over. He never thinks about consequences or possible guilt of taking someone's life. We saw him being shy and guilty after he played the bomber, he apologized to Atsushi for tricking him like that but he only felt that because there was no real danger and it was "just a role". When it's about Naomi and her safety, he never thinks anything else but violance. When Steinback talked about Naomi, he was immediatly in killer mode. When Hirotsu said that Gin is an assassin and she can just kill Naomi, his whole personality changes. He is not that shy, weak guy anymore.

I love my evil guy so much, he have a great potential to be an awsome assassin. If I remember correctly, even Hirotsu said that he had that potential. Which is so cool.

Also. I know it was actually the real life author Junichiro Tanizaki who was afraid of earthquakes but there should be something about that in BSD Tanizaki's backstory too. It is kinda weird how his dislikes is not related to Naomi, like "Losing Naomi" or "Naomi getting hurt" or maybe even "Naomi being too flirty with him when they are in public." It's just. Earthquakes. I wonder if we'll ever see anything about that either.

(maybe he is not afraid of losing naomi because naomi is actually not real and she is a product of Light Snow. I read a theory like that years ago, idk whose theory was that and i kinda like that theory too. because when we think about it, we don't know much about Light Snow either. We only know that it can cover only some area and when he was trapped in Mori's bedroom, he said that because Ozaki's demons was too fast, he will die but how long can he put Light Snow?? How big can he make it??? )

So. Junichiro Tanizaki is a really cool character. I don't like it how much people hate them because of the most likely references to the actual book and being sexual and "being siblings", meanwhile Naomi literally made herself a shield for Junichiro and Junichiro tried to kill multiple people just for Naomi. I'm glad I read Naomi and knew their sibling act is MOST LIKELY not real. I just know that he have so much story and characteristics and I hope that we will see more of him.

I will finish my words with this bomber Tanizaki. This was my PC wallpaper for years, I think. This face can't be just "an act", come on.

Do you have any thoughts or insights about tanizaki? We’ve known him for so long but I feel like I still know little to nothing about him 😭

That was the truth. He had made it this far in life because he was easily swayed by others. He went along with Kunikida’s scheme because he was asked to, and he was going to play the bomber because that was the role shoved onto him. Despite having a slightly bizarre skill, he wasn’t great in combat like the other agents, nor was he especially cunning. Tanizaki didn’t have any mortal enemies, nor did he have a dark past or any trauma. He was an ordinary guy. The only thing he really even wished for was his little sister’s happiness. - A Day at the Detective Agency (from The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency light novel)

Tanizaki sees himself as a pretty average guy, as someone without a notable past or fancy skills... and as a pushover. He doesn't really have convictions besides "Naomi" and goes along just about anything. But...

Tanizaki is the person who comes the closest to “evil” among all the Detective Agency employees. This is what I always tell everyone involved in this work. [...] [...] Tanizaki hit the enemy with the truck of a civilian who happened to pass by. By doing that, the truck would be completely destroyed and the driver would not be able to come out intact. But Tanizaki couldn’t care less about such things. Because for him, justice, morality or peace for the people, all come after his “sister”. - Asagiri, for the bsd expo (source and complete translation)

Tanizaki is canonically leaning on the "evil" side of bsd's grey morality. Since he has no bigger motivation than keeping Naomi safe, he'd do just about anything for her, no matter the price. He is in a good place, being at the Agency, where he is surrounded by people who do want to uphold great ideals and help others. However, he was also very quick to offer himself up as tribute to be transferred to the Port Mafia in Yosano's place. Again, he's a pushover at heart and lets himself drift around as the people around him see fit.

Naomi being his "sister" is probably a cover of some sort, since the book she's based on had exactly that (a scandalous marriage hidden behind a false, more familial relationship). Even our Naomi points out that she and Tanizaki look nothing alike (while groping him) and seems to make a show of their supposed relationship. There's no way they are actual blood siblings, and there definitely is a story behind that. There's also that book Naomi was making her husband, who was obsessed with her, do whatever she pleased. It matches our Tanizaki's pushover nature and our Naomi's assertiveness, at least as inspiration.

That's about as much of an input we have of him at this time, but Kenji's backstory was just revealed, so surely Tanizaki's turn will come... his ability came from somewhere, he met Naomi somewhere, he got into the ADA someway/somehow... and even if it's ultimately not that eventful... well... characters can get their trauma during the story, instead of before...
