#just some stray thoughts

[onesidedradiostatic]

I'm thinking about the stupid fucking parasocial dynamic between sir pentious and alastor. I have questions

the fact that sir pentious says "again" in the pilot and him saying they'd done battle "like 20 times" in episode 2, was this just like. a regular thing he did even prior to alastor's disappearance. where he would just come in every other week to attack alastor while he was casually doing stuff and alastor just forgot each and every time.

also keep in mind sir pentious is from the VICTORIAN ERA, he arrived in hell before alastor. how. how long has he known him. how long had he been DOING this.

sir pentious being one of the chronologically oldest major characters really makes you think about how much he has seen or knows about LMAO

also the fact that he says "for when I've slain you the almighty vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal" was he just thinking of alastor just being generally powerful that it'd be cool if he defeated him or did he know the specific significance of alastor in the context of the vees. I also find it funny that he found out about alastor's return BEFORE vox, yeah if he delivered a dead alastor to the vees after 7 years I'm sure that would've been one fucking hell of a shock

Skz as red flags

Chan, who professes his undying love—even after a week of radio silence.

Minho, who becomes concerningly aggressive every time you have a minor dispute.

Changbin, who begs you to join him at the gym, only to nit-pick every little detail once you do.

Hyunjin, who dramatizes his every move—especially when he accuses you of cheating.

Han, who is so insecure about your relationship that he cries when you go out and won't stop texting you until you come home.

Felix, who is so anxious about confrontation that he just can't defend you in groups; you're fine with that, until a group of guys keeps hitting on you, and Felix isn't doing anything.

Seungmin, who completely ignores you for days, even weeks, after an argument—just because he believes he's right.

Jeongin, who is unwilling to compromise on your need for skinship—and his lack thereof.

little a/n just in case... yall this is just something silly I posted okay please don't take anything too seriously 😭

STRAY KIDS | 240720 INTERVIEW

[baby-yongbok]

Okay, so Chan is being a brat on Bubble rn, pretending that we wanna break up with him. (Who's really the delulu one here?) But my imagination is running WILD, so hear me out..

[Hard Thought - MDNI]

What if he's just beaming at his phone right now. Watching us freak out and beg him not to break up with us. Saying that it isn't what we want and asking him not to leave. It's just what he wanted, just what he was craving.

What if he's scrolling through the responses, laughing out loud at the ones that he's especially pleased with. It's almost humiliating how some of us beg and plead for him. Sure, it's playful, but what if it wasn't? That thought drives him wild.

What if he's getting hard while reading all of our comments. Imagining what we'd look like if he were standing in front of us. The look on our face as we process what he's saying while he knows damn well that he's just messing with us.

Just the thought of some of us dropping what we were doing to click on his chat notification gets him hot as he watches the replies flood in.

What were you doing before this?

Are you smiling? Frowning? Laughing?

What are you wearing?

When did his hand get down his pants?

Why does the thought of a pretty girl playing along to his dramatics make him rock hard?

What would you do to change his mind? What would you say?

"You don't wanna break up..? How're ya gonna change my mind?"

"You'd never actually go and meet someone else, would you, baby? Show me how much you love me."

The longer he keeps the dramatics up, the more content he has to stroke himself to later. He can't help himself.

seen a lot of fem skk lately thought i'd share my 15 fem skk designs

[soukokuforthesoul]

dazai finding a really really fucking tall (plastic) flower and giving it to chuuya for his birthday, like: “happy birthday chibi ^_^!! was gonna give u something nice, but i don’t want to give you anything pretty… and then i found this, and thought—chuuya wouldn’t be able to see the pretty part (the flower) of this anyway, and i still seem super sweet!<3”

and chuuya looks up, squinting to where a small flower is perched on the very fucking long stem … (anyway it broke because apparently it can’t withstand hitting a human skull several times at light speed…sorry, dazai)

[lotus-soda]

I wanna point out something, Katai probably never had an entrance exam, whether Kunikida did or not is still up for debate, but the real fascinating thing is, at 20 Fukuzawa let Kunikdia handle the first (that we know of) entrance exam.

I have my own theories about how old Kuni was when he joined the ada but that's for another date.

Point is, Dazai's entrance exam could have been given to anybody elese, Yosano and Ranpo were at the ada for longer, and Fukuzawa himself didn't handle it. Kunikida must have risen through the ranks fast, especially at a young age. I'm really curios now on his backstory!

[starheirxero]

I realize i totally haven't made any proper pride month posts......

Ahem. Ahem. Start making more tsams characters use it/its. Make Bloodmoon use it/its. Make Lunar use it/its. Make Solar use it/its.

Make more tsams characters use neopronouns. Make Earth use xe/xem. Make Solar Flare use thon/thons. Make Ruin hy/hymn.

Make more tsams characters transfem. Make Solar a he/him butch woman. Make Sun a femme lesbian. Make Bloodmoon a butch too.

Make more tsams characters gender non conforming. Make more tsams characters aromantic but not asexual. Make more tsams characters feel like labels don't fit them and just simply describe their queerness. Make more tsams characters be in queerplatonic relationships.

Make more tsams characters be More Queer in ways the show doesn't do. Be free 🙏🙏🙏

not even lowkey, but high key thinking about how both Dazai and Chuuya since a young age used destructive behaviors to cope/feel something as they both struggle with feeling human enough in their own ways.

The state of Chuuya's mind at the start of Stormbringer reflects in an empty room with a bed, desk, and a liquor bottle on top. How he also stress smokes. Feeling alone and isolated in a way despite being surrounded by The Flags and others because he doesn't feel like he quite fits in. He's suddenly surrounded by people much older than him when he's a kid recently off the streets.

Similarly, Dazai struggling with ideation/attempts and also drinking and smoking from a young age. But the fact he drinks whiskey and shows a high tolerance when he's still a teenager is pretty concerning on its own.

They both lived in homes that lacked personality or gave insight to their hobbies or what they liked to do for fun. They were just places to sleep, roofs over their heads. Chuuya didn't know how to live, but Dazai also didn't as he willingly chose to live in a shipping container and isolate himself from others. It's part of the numbing. It gets him away from all the evil of the world, but also its better parts.

Dealing with mafia-related business and being exposed to violence and death on a constant basis rapidly desensitized them to the point of just being totally and utterly numb because at first they had to be, and now it's just a constant state of being. Dazai saw the worst of what humanity had to offer while in the mafia and he just progressively spiraled until defecting. Even Chuuya being on the streets as a kid and in constant survival mode was exposed to the uglier side of life. There's no time to think about playing video games when he had to worry about getting enough to eat and sleeping with one eye open. Now Chuuya constantly works because he's needed by the mafia, the people, the city.

Going through the motions of everyday life doesn't do anything for them and they look to destructive behaviors to feel something because, deep down, they both have the same fear of losing themselves entirely.

That fear of losing himself is so strong within Chuuya he resists corruption's influence to completely overtake him and he can still recognize faces and speak. He's forgiving sometimes to a fault despite being wronged a lot and it shows he doesn't let rage blindly consume him. He's lost so many people up until now that the times he's snapped and gotten vengeance are few and far in between, but it's normal for people to have breaking points. It's human. Just as Oda's death was the catalyst for Dazai leaving. And people have different breaking points.

[lady-tortilla-chip]

I think it’s crazy actually that people think it’s impossible for Chuuya to trick Fyodor without Fyodor having to be dumber for it. Especially when a popular theory was that after the drowning Chuuya had begun faking it, why is it so hard to believe he’d just been faking it the entire time?

This doesn’t even touch on how it’s been SUCH a LOUD point throughout mersault that Fyodor has hugely underestimated Soukoku. So, by obvious extension that would include Chuuya too if not more so than Dazai seeing as he insinuated multiple times that Chuuya was Dazai’s tool rather than equal partner.

really wanted to make a project with these arts (a book about the biographies of some bands) but one girl took it for herself and i thought we were friends lmao
