you mentioned in ur ask to the anon about tomura being a drug addict. I know in ur stories they're all frequently high but I was gunna ask if they were addicts or bingers. like my dad was a binger but that was just his excuse like to me an addicts an addict, but I just wasnt sure to the extent of how often they use like every day or every few days and they have that one night they just get high off their ass more than usual. sorry I hope this made sense of my jumbled question/statement lmao

oh anon i love this question so much.

tw: drugs

so, to me, ‘addict’ = someone who needs [x] to function in some way shape or form. the way that they consume it, whether it’s methodical to keep from coming down/getting sick/becoming too lucid or it’s taken to deal with emotions when life gets Too Much—too hard to handle or face sober—which would necessitate more of a binge-like consumption, doesn’t matter to me. i agree with you 100%, an addict is an addict is an addict. if you need something to feel normal, to feel okay, to lean on as a crutch or to self-soothe, you’re an addict. if something bad or unpleasant happens, and your first instinct is to reach for drink/drugs, you’re an addict. i think there are levels of severity to addiction for sure, but if you’re dependent on it, you’re addicted.

to get to your question of how often my guys use, the answer varies depending on the iteration!! bmb dabi is so deep in addiction that he needs several pills a day just to feel okay and functional on a basic level; to not get sick. he barely gets a high from it, it’s literally to keep from getting ill, to feel normal. but bmb dabi’s addiction also has a mental component (like all addictions do!); even if he’s getting nothing more than wisps of a high, there is still something within his mind that says ‘if i take this pill, i will feel better, and everything will be okay, everything will be more manageable’ (this is taken directly from my own father’s addiction haha) even though the drug no longer provides that escapist euphoria. obviously, when he’s feeling like he really needs it, he’ll take a little extra as a treat, but this is how his addiction manifests for the most part.

bmb tomura does both; he uses to keep from getting sick, and then he uses on top of that to chase a high. bmb tomura also uses a wider variety of drugs than bmb dabi does, and he isn’t against using one drug to combat the comedown of another.

touya-nii isn’t as bad as bmb tomura, but he’s worse than bmb dabi. he loves his oxys, is often at least a little high, and he’ll often supplement a more intense high with coke, since cocaine withdrawals are mild in comparison to opioids. he needs to take a specific amount a day to feel normal, too, but he’s more likely to take a lil more than bmb dabi is just because he loves being high.

flawless tomura is kind of all over the place and comes the closest to binge user. his favourite is cocaine, and because of that he’s a little more inclined to go on binges than the others are. his reasons for binging vary, but he is absolutely reaching for that powder the moment something even mildly unpleasant happens, and that’s why i would consider him an addict as well.

tag!keigo is constantly chasing that high and increasing his intake accordingly as his tolerance rises.

minus flawless tomura, they all use everyday!

your question totally made sense, thank you for sending it in!! <3 i’m so sorry to hear your father was an addict as well. it fucking sucks, and we deserved better.

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.

one thing about steve harrington is that he sucks at doing nothing. like he has to be doing something with himself lest the guy waste away. this has led to him being very good at fucking around with things especially when its something relatively quiet. the loudest steve will let himself keep his hands busy while stuck idle is tossing whatever's in his hand to himself and catching it, which usually bodes well for sports practice after coach learned that just because he was moving didnt mean he wasnt paying attention(usually the opposite).

he learned how to flip a pencil around his thumb in middle school and seeing someone in one of the meetings he sat in on doing it. he'll twirl anything he can around in his hand, especially while he was working in the mall. the scoopers were perfect for it. and any way youve seen a drummer/percussionist fiddle with a drumstick, steve knew he had to replicate it.

but even with all this movement and the fact the guy was barely ever not moving, it seemed like no one noticed it ever. a fact that nearly drove eddie insane when they were in high school together. because he did have the reputation of being restless, and in a constant state of movement. and he probably fucked around with random shit less, so how did steve "the hair" harrington not end up with the same reputation? the answer was just that he was way more quiet("and sneaky" -eddie) about it. and if the teacher hated when their students fiddled and futzed he'd be sure to try and keep the movement below his desk.

but it not that he only has to keep his hands busy. no no no, if bored or stuck waiting, and that won't suffice, steve harrington will pick up anything with words just to read it. anything. outdated newspapers, ingredients lists, magazines of any topic. he just mindlessly grabs for whatever and starts fucking reading. Robin could swear under oath to a court that her best friend has read the back of every vhs in family video. hell, she's seen him reading drugstore novels, like the fucking grandma smut and books with cover art of nicely dressed ladies running from a castle. and its her jock best friend reading it, instead of some repressed suburban woman who hates her husband. yes, this information is the bane of robin buckley's exsistance because its not like anyone would believe her.

idk just give me steve being restless but doing it quietly enough that no one really picks up on it.

This is how I described Dandadan to my brother

[beanghostprincess]

Chainsaw Man has always been about power and control and a guy who has been stripped of his childhood and teenage years to then be constantly used and manipulated, forced to become hypersexual after being groomed and sexually assaulted, and losing the one bit of normalcy there's left in him.

Denji has no control over both his body and decisions and instantly becomes a vessel of what he thinks will fix him, the very same thing Asa is to Yoru, who keeps demanding war and respect and power and she knows what to do to make Denji lose his humanity.

The relationship between Denji and Asa is so genuine and human that using that against both of their wills is incredibly violating and dehumanizing. And that's why it is so good. And that's why it needs to be explicit. And that's why I am extremely surprised people are grossed out by this happening when dehumanizing and taking control of the lives of others is exactly what War would do.

I kept thinking about how, even though Kageyama is the one who got a head start in volleyball - who's been training all his life, since he was a little kid, who's a "genius", who's going on ahead - it's Hinata who's always a few steps ahead/above him

And then there's the motif of running - it appears throughout the whole series, but is more prominent in chapter 387 me thinks:

Where Kageyama is either chasing after someone, struggling to keep up, or dashing ahead on his own. It lends to the feeling of solitude that permeates that chapter and, of course, comes to a conclusion with Hinata's "I'm here!"

....and we see his back, like Kageyama has been chasing after him all this time.

I just... just. Even though Hinata has been playing catch up with Kageyama all this time, trying to get on his level, to beat him - Kageyama is also behind him, still running, still trying to keep up.

They're running circles around each other, chasing each other’s tails.
