I regret making this……

Where did these nation people come from? They sound like fucked up aliens or something.

Okay, now you got me there... I tried to look up for some explanation in the documents that I have access to. However, there's no clear information on where those creatures come from, or when they came to be. Perhaps, people had never figured out how it worked, or they had, but the records about it had been lost with time. Or even... they might still exist, but the government keeps them under lock and key. Which means they are not accessible to me...

I'm new to this job, and I just got to know about nations. They must think I'm not trustworthy enough. Not gonna lie, it's a bit frustrating... but, since I'm sharing informations about the nations existence to the public without them knowing, they have a point.

Now that you mention it... Yes, with their concept, they really seem like some kind of weird aliens that appeared here on Earth with no more or less. Immortal beings, that look extremely alike (if not identical) to a normal human being, which have a complex memory capacity, inhuman knowledge and habilites... Even though, I doubt they came from another planet or something. For what I understood, they are "connected" to the land and people they represent, so they are directly affect to factos like weather, natural disasters, human development index, economy, satisfaction of the population with the country conditions and the government (so, apparently, they can go against the government... that's how the French Revolution happened then?)... The personifications seem to be connected to their countries in a very curious and interesting way, perhaps in a way that neither of us humans could understand until how far it would go.

This makes me think... Have them been here on Earth since forever? Have them existed even when humanity just came into being? Are they creations of us humans ourselves? Because, if you think about it... If the countries humans founded were never created, then the personifications would have no reason to exist, right?

What are they? Are they creatures born from Earth itself? Did they use to be humans before turning into nations? Are they born like normal humans? Or do they appear out of thin air? What are the conditions for a new nation to be born? Which was even the first nation to ever exist...? The more I think about it, more questions I have. It's already giving me a headache.

I'm starting to think that, to get some proper information, I'll have to take some risky decisions... like talking directly with the personification of my own country. I could ask it questions pretending I'm just curious. After all, I'm sure that, having lived literally centuries by humans' side, nations must be already used by being questioned on how they work. However, I'm worried if it'll get suspicious if I question too much... God, it's not possible that there aren't any type of professional who study especially about the nature of nations, instead of a random person who just make theories and give us no concrete answers in the end. There must be any record that someone wrote which can give me enough answers to understand exactly what they are. If there aren't any that I can reach, than I'll have to record my own findings myself.

You are going to be the witnesses of my research. I'm not letting this story end this easily, no matter how much they're trying to hide the truth from humanity.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

The colours as little paper chain guys was an idea I couldn’t get out of my head, so I drew not one but two versions! (Cuz I’m a sucker for shadow >:))

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

apparently when Astarion is reading the Necromancy of Thay book and he says "No I won't kill them. Well maybe [character name]" the companion he mentions is always the one who has the highest approval with the player (or second highest if he has the highest approval) Lmao He is jealous. I didn't know how this works. I thought it's random but he always said Shadowheart in my game and I never figured out why.

Honestly the more I think about grian and zedaph’s dynamic the more I’m obsessed with it. These two have such a weird rivalry going for absolutely no reason. The quartz shop the base swap the. whatever is happening with the dragon egg right now. They bring out the absolute worst in each other. If you put grian and zedaph in a box together they’d tear each other apart like betta fish. Why? Why is that? They both exist at the fringes of hermit society, often elusive and shy around those not in their inner circle of trusted besties (yes this applies to grian too, trust me ok). And yet when they interact with each other (approximately once per year) they are such haters to each other. And for what. They don’t even know each other that well!!! Two species of animal who occupy the same environmental niche and thus must compete for resources type dynamic. Maybe british people are just like that. Idk.
