#listen I have no dog in this fight

[heyheydidjaknow]

hey at least dazai would game end with you i doubt light would do the same !

For context, the resolution is that Dazai Osamu and Light Yagami are in a constant fight for who can be the worst boyfriend. TW: discussions of suicide and suicide ideation and manipulating people into committing suicide.

If you could get Light Yagami to love you, you could probably get him to commit double suicide with you. Neither is easy but Light is delusional enough to go through with it. The biggest concern regarding Dazai Osamu is that it would be hard to make sure the both of you would actually be fully willing to go through with it. Dazai hates being alive for the same reason you don’t watch the entirety of a movie you find boring; why bother? You know what’s going to happen. If Dazai got you to agree to commit double suicide with him, I would argue that there is a non-zero chance that he would both not go through with it and take at least some pleasure in getting you to want to kill yourself with him. What he wants is devotion and assurance that he won’t lose who he cares about; if he were genuinely serious about wanting to find someone special to off himself with, that would be a mean, not an end.

I'm really not good with theories and stuff, but I saw a couple of people speculate that Dazai was gonna say "die together" and while that is certainly beautiful in it's own way I prefer to think that Dazai was gonna end his sentence with "live".

Him and Chuuya are destined to live.

A bit of community service work to repay his third chance leads to Hien witnessing Zenos' own special brand of weird.

top ten things i didnt think could happen during the aoki/bodyguard segment Aoki Actually Attacks

[jounosparticles]

hello I rise JJDHS my brain has been empty I am sorry 😭

uuhh. ANYWAY. I. would like to hear your interpretation on the hunting dog surgeries. mainly how it affects their bodies and if they have any weird side-effects that they might get or something ndbfbf

idk I love thinking about it cause it's NEAT I think the surgeries are neat and I have made a whole like oc to explain the surgeries and such idk it's neat how the hell do they figure this out

ooo okay. hmm. very good question!!

i would imagine the surgeries are designed with quick recovery in mind, so that the hunting dogs can always be ready to go if they’re needed.

due to this i imagine they have a few of them go on one day while 2-3 of them stay on call, then after the first group recovers the second group goes. so there’s always at least 2 hunting dogs available.

we know the good effects of the surgeries. they enhance strength, speed, reflexes, and durability physically. i’d assume they probably lower exhaustion as well.

as for negative effects, i assume the bodies start running down when getting close to needing the surgery. since it’s been revealed the body will rot if it goes without surgery. i assume pain and discomfort are the starting signs, maybe skin will break easier and physical durability will shut out.

we don’t know how exactly the surgeries work, though. do they infuse organs with an ability? do they put some sort of object that revolves around an ability in them? we know that they cut into the stomach for this (based off the image of the surgeries shown), but nothing further.

regardless, putting something that isn’t meant to be in your body within your organs it could lead to possible complications. body rejection maybe? leading the hunting dog to need a follow-up surgery or extra healing time to adjust? or general sensitivity until they’re adjusted to the new addition to their body.

i’d assume the one most susceptible to these issues and complications is jouno. his heightened sense of feeling probably makes recovering more painful for him than the others.

the least susceptible is tachihara, since he receives a lesser dose for his mafia infiltration

i’ll definitely have to think more on this too. the idea is super cool!!

bet on losing dogs

T, 2.7k, kakeru/haiji, underground fighting au

He’s seen the guy before. Spindly like a runner, an unassuming shock of brown hair, a regular fighter that never seems to catch a break. Grey. The odds against him were bad when Kakeru first started coming to Hanaji’s, and they’re astronomical now. A few weeks ago, Kakeru won a couple hundred betting against him. He’s never had so little money he’s had to bet on Grey or leave, before.

i'm just saying, dressing injuries is peak romance.

Now I'm stuck on how unhinged and depraved and AWFUL Tuon/Gawyn could be.

[pulsedmaggot]

something thats been on my mind today: corey barking wild (aka running his mouth, as he does) like an untamed hound, in jim's personal space, daring him to bite back, stick up for himself, snap a nerve or two. jim kissing him instead, placating him with a scratch, not howling clawing or pouncing, but still leaving him breathless as if he had.

[hurryupmerlin]

Shhhh, hörst du das? Hörst du das Gemunkel? Um dich wird es dunkel. In deinem Kopf dreh'n sich die Gedanken Bringen dich zum wanken. Geschichten um die sich Dramen ranken Nie erzählt und doch gekannt. Oh, du lauscht gebannt. Die Angst der and'ren tut dir nicht gut Doch es nährt die Glut Die das Feuer entfacht, das dich anlacht, Einladend und warm. Es nimmt dich in den Arm Und verbrennt dich mit seiner Zärtlichkeit. Dein letztes Geleit führst du selbst an. Du hast dich entschieden Und wirst kriegen Was dein Kopf dir befiehlt das richtig wäre. Es ist dir keine Lehre. Du trinkst Gift wie süßen Wein Doch dein Durst wird nie gestillt sein. Armes Kind, wer soll dich jetzt noch retten? Das Schloss für deine Ketten Wiegt schwerer noch als selbst dein Herz. Du kannst nicht mit noch ohne Schmerz.

Shhhh, do you hear that? Do you hear the murmur? It's getting dark around you. Your head is spinning with thoughts. They make you waver. Stories entwined with dramas Never told and yet known. Oh, you listen spellbound. The fear of others does you no good But it feeds the embers that kindle the fire Which laughs at you. Inviting and warm. It takes you in its arms. And burns you with its tenderness. You lead your last escort yourself. You have made your decision And will get what your head tells you is right. It is no lesson to you. You drink poison like sweet wine. But your thirst will never be quenched. Poor child, who will save you now? The lock for your chains weighs more than even your heart. You cannot live with or without pain.

you ever thought about writing a chapter about Ajak trying to push Ikaris and Thena together in the beginning, because of what their combined force can do? But she soon recognizes that her effort is useless and that it is no matter on which planet they are on in which lifetime, Thena and Gilgamesh will always be together, because they belong together.

Love your work, xoxo

"Well done," Ajak smiled as her two best Fighters walked back from the battle.

"You came in too early."

"Will you get off my back for one damned minute!"

And there it was. The two paragons of the Fighters were always at odds with one another. It was a wonder they were able to work together at all. And that was in the heat of battle, when their cooperation was crucial to survival.

Their bickering was even worse off the battlefield, and yet Ajak seemed to have them paired together at every opportunity.

Thena and Ikaris glared at each other as they separated, walking to opposite sides of the room as they settled in for a meeting after their battle. They seemed so much more equipped to be enemies than team leaders.

Ajak sighed. They were less than a month into their mission, and already they were at each other's throats. She had been hoping she might be able to encourage them to get along, but it seemed the harder she tried, the more they disliked each other.

"I think it went well," Sersi attempted to smile, hoping - desperately - to quell the discomfort in the room.

"Ikaris nearly let the winged one slip through his fingers."

"I had it under control!" he snapped at his other half across the control room from him. "You were the one who tossed another one into it!"

"Okay, okay, why don't we all just take it down a notch."

It was always Gilgamesh who was taking the most direct action to diffuse these types of situations. And it was always when voices were raised or fingers were pointed in Thena's direction.

Ikaris scoffed, throwing himself back down into his seat, "you always take her side."

Ajak had noticed. "Battles are not always going to go exactly how we might like, but what's important is protecting the human settlement and disposing of Deviant threats."

Thena stayed silent, turning her head away from Ajak as she spoke, which was as good as rolling her eyes, for the Warrior Eternal. When she opened her eyes, they met Gil's next to her. He smiled. She smiled.

"What's important is workin' as a team," Ikaris grumbled, although he had already lost the attention of most of them. He sighed. "Who's on watch?"

"Me."

Ikaris looked over at Sersi, who raised her hand up partially with a tentative smile. His usual deep set scowl lightened just a little, "I'll join you. Next shift is on when the sun sets."

The group dispersed, sounding less like Eternals chosen by Arishem and more like a group of teenagers being released to go do their chores.

"Ikaris," Ajak spoke up before he took his leave as well. She nodded her head at him, "talk to Thena."

He sighed roughly through his teeth. "She doesn't listen to me, Ajak. She's-"

"Talk to her," Ajak reiterated, not that she really thought it would do any good. She followed him out of the room, lingering at the end of the corridor where he floated over to the Warrior Eternal.

"Thena," he began with putting a hand on her shoulder, and already they were off to a bad start. She whirled around, hair flying, glaring at him just for touching her so casually.

She sighed at the look on his face, "what?"

"Look," he looked around him, trying to find the words for his teammate. "I know we're not always on the same page. But Ajak chose us to be leaders of this team."

"Just because we're strong does not make us leaders," Thena easily refuted, even if it meant denouncing herself to do it. "Gilgamesh is stronger than us both."

Ikaris opened his mouth to argue that point - eagerly - but clapped it shut. There would be no good to come from starting that fight with her (again). "Just...work with me--that's all I'm asking."

Thena's eyes travelled over him. He certainly was trying, she couldn't deny it. But she was so distrusting in her nature--of him, of the humans...even of Ajak, to a degree. "Have you ever thought that might be asking too much?"

"No," Ikaris frowned, his temper rising again now that he was finding himself arguing against a brick wall. "Because we're a team, Thena. Like it or not, we're here, together."

Her eyes followed his movement as he stepped in a fraction closer, his hand rising to grab her arm before she could turn away from him dismissively. She glared at him.

Ikaris held her eyes. He liked the challenge she gave him, in a way. His nature made him relish the battle for dominance they shared on a daily basis, no matter how much he complained about it. "Play nice."

Thena's eyes sparked, which Ikaris seemed to enjoy. And she knew he did--he liked the thought of getting to really have it out with her. They were both Fighters, the warrior and the soldier. It was in their nature for violence to be their language of choice. "No."

Ajak stood back with a sigh as Ikaris flew past her, blasted backward by Thena's shield tossing him away from her. She knew he was pushing it; it was only a matter of time before Thena decided she'd had enough of him.

Maybe the plan for them was a lost cause.

Thena didn't spare a second to check if Ikaris was okay. It wasn't her concern. She continued down the hall in her original direction, pausing when a hand brushed against hers.

It was Gilgamesh, the side of his hand meeting the side of hers like clouds passing in the sky. His pinky wiggled in her direction, "everything okay?"

"I can handle Ikaris," she said decisively, as she would to anyone on their team. She didn't move away, though.

Gil turned to face her first, offering his honesty as payment for her words. "I know, but that doesn't mean he gets to give you a hard time."

It was so slight, almost invisible to the human eye. But to an Eternal, Ajak was able to see the ever present tension in Thena lessen. It drained from her slowly, but eventually Thena looked at Gil. Her lips pulled up into a hint of a smile, "I may not leave much of him for you, at this rate."

Gilgamesh shrugged, giving her an impish smile that showed his more playful side. It seemed to encourage Thena's smile to grow. "So I'll clean up after you're done with him."

Ajak's brows raised as a completely new sound bounced around the Domo halls. She had never heard her Warrior Eternal laugh before. But by the look on the Strongest Eternal's face - and the lack of surprise - he had. In fact, he seemed quite enchanted by the sound.

Thena smiled more easily, completely loosened after her laughter. She turned and fell into a gentle pace with him in the narrow corridor, "he's Sersi's problem now."

"I don't know how she puts up with him," Gil mused, ruffling his hair as he walked with her.

Thena looked at him with what could almost be described as a playful expression, "you put up with me."

Gilgamesh took Thena's hand in his more fully--more deliberately. She showed no resistance. He held her eyes, giving the hand a squeeze between them, "and it's an honour and a privilege."

Thena's laughter rang out through the halls again.

Ajak smiled to herself; this form of the plan was always easiest to execute anyway. She would find a way to talk to Ikaris about things, regardless of how his relationship with Sersi progressed.

The relationship between Gilgamesh and Thena would grow itself.

I think I'm going to need to refrain from putting Pantera cover of Hurdy Gurdy for fight music because :

1 - it bangs too much. 2 - OFC IT'S PANTERA. 66% of my table will surely recognize it. 3 - I'll just stop the fight and listen to it. 4 - It'd be an excuse to "BUT WHAT IF I PUT LUCA TURILLI'S MUSIC" moment I always have which leads to step 1 and step 3.
