#not a fantastic explanation

Dick (flirting): God your ass looks great in that suit.

Wally (surprised): Me?

Dick: Yeah, I thought I was the only one, but yours is impressive. God, you are...

Dick trailed off, biting his lip with a smile. Wally looked around unsure if there was a camera in the room. Dick sighed softly then ran his fingers through his hair and checked his phone.

Wally (thinking): Is this actually happening... Is this my chance?

Dick: Alright I'm heading out, Kori and I have date night.

Wally (shooting his shot): Oh you're going to bring a third person into the bedroom? I know you guys like to do that, and thought I could be the third tonight.

Dick: Hm, Kori and I are exploring three ways and I'm not against it being me and another guy and you do look really good today... Sure. Come on.

Dick waved his hand then left with Wally following him with an eager smile.

Wally (thinking): I can't believe that worked. My chance has arrived. I'm about to rock both of their worlds!

based french turnabout airlines fixed the time zone problem by just straight-up inventing an overseas territory of borginia in the pacific ocean called "nouvelle-borginie", which is where the plane takes off from, thereby solving the otherwise ridiculous problem of a plane taking off from a european country, flying to a country in asia to refuel, then turning around and landing in france, a different european country

Panels that are stuck in my mind giving my Pharma-obsessed brain something to chew on like a rawhide again and again.

Ratchet in the heat of the moment calling Pharma a horrible Autobot/doctor, but later in a calm scenario, NOT talking to Pharma, saying that "most of his life he was a fantastic doctor..." MMmmmmdhjggjghkjhfkjfd

On the topic of deer, if a human or a car were to kill a deer in the Clan territory, and the cats found the carcass right afterwards (so they know it's fresh, not rotting or sick) would they eat it? Since its pretty much inconceivable that the cats could take a deer down themselves, I feel like outside forces would be the only way this scenario could occur.

It's an amusing thought to imagine a Clan just gathered around a deer carcass having an absolute feast for as long as it lasts.

It's got to have happened at some point - or at least they grabbed a bit of it for the Clan. Just tear off chunks of the thing and bring it home. Good meat oughtn't go to waste!

y'know, it's kinda ridiculous that dazai eventually won without much difficulty. in recent chapters of the manga, we witnessed for the first time that dazai was struggling so hard, which showed him less omnipotent than he was, and more human at the same time. but it turns out that he was making a fool out of fyodor all along!!!! he lost to the power of alliance!!!! ...excuse me? then what was meursault arc all for?

i love bsd, but there are too many things that annoy me, and the flaws of the series are rarely talked about. so im reaaally happy to see you criticizing the series. i love your blog sm, please never stop posting!! 💕

YES EXACTLY!!

Dazai’s omniscience does NOT help humanize him. All that it does is give him more accountability in everything that happens. He doesn’t get the luxury of pleading ignorance because at this point, the story has made that no longer believable. 

No matter what, Dazai knows everything all the time, doesn’t make mistakes in his plans and strategies, and is capable of anything. If this is the case, which I said it was semi-jokingly in the early days of this blog, he really can be held accountable for pretty much anything and everything happening. Which I’d really rather wasn’t the case.

One of the main themes of bsd is humanity. No one’s special or perfect, everyone’s a human being trying their best to get by. The Meursault arc did a pretty decent job of humanizing both Dazai and Fyodor, two characters who were previously shown as (intellectually) flawless, by having them struggle in their battle of wits against each other. Having both of them mess up or miscalculate in some way made them seem like real people and not just two algorithms playing chess. 

Having Dazai reveal in this final episode that he knew everything all along, everything went according to his plan, and there was never any challenge to begin with entirely defeats the purpose of the arc. What are we supposed to take away from this? That Dazai automatically wins any fight because he’s Dazai? That removes all stakes. 

Why continue watching a show if you’ve already been told that one specific character will always win—and not only that, but it won’t even be a struggle for him to get there, because he knows everything about everything all the time. 

I really, really hope that this was an anime-only ending. Asagiri can still fix this. Admittedly, bungo stray dogs has always been character-focused rather than plot-focused, so while I trust Asagiri to handle the characters better than this, I’m not really sure what to expect plot-wise. But I’m gonna hope for the best.

We all know how you guys feel about evil twin archetypes, so any thoughts on Cobalt Blue? Found out about him fairly recently and LORD his backstory feels like a telenovela

I just briefly read up his wiki and WHOA WHAT IS THAT BACKSTORY, haha. It's interesting, from these DC evil twins (Ma'alefa'ak for J'onn and Golden Boy for Johnstantine) so far, a lot of what makes them not work for me is their often unfounded hatred for their twin. Especially when it's "assigned hatred since birth" it's funny seeing the narrative force these twins into projecting any kind of hatred on each other.

Malcolm/Cobalt Blue got his revenge already by killing off the doctor that separated him from the Allen family, but then? By circumstance of Barry having a better life he just decides to hate him too, haha. Very similar to Johnstantine deciding to hate his unborn twin just because John weirdly projected his twin having an easier, better life than him (which,,,is factually untrue, his twin didn't even get to be born). It's all so drama~

I think it's cute that Flash fam has generational twins though! It's often forgotten in twin representation that it's an inherited gene and therefore tends to occur in a family multiple times!

the doctor started -- not out of fear but because it had been a very, very long time since he'd been touched by someone in a manner that didn't preclude violence and not at all in this regeneration.

it felt alien, and no that wasn't some attempt at a joke.

still, he blinked at the stranger, keeping his internal turmoil at bay, swallowing back the instinct to just fucking run and get out of here, to be unseen. to help but from a distance, if he could.

Hey same person who did the “MePhone4S WTF why do you generate things” if I had to theorize maybeeeee him and MePhone4 both had half of the egg(?) To my knowledge it was never said he was made after 4 left PLUS if we go by IPhone/Apple timeline IRL MePad was already “alive” (or was booting up ig same thing) and the iPad mini was released after the iphone4S so there is a period of time where MePhone4 and MePhone4S would be around at the same time IN Meeple. Maybe they were a duo who Cobs gave half an egg to each? And when 4S died and gave his body to 4 the egg became whole? That’s my guess.

(Also the whole thing with “they were around at the same time??” “but they don’t remember each other!” I hear you tell through the screen. MePhone4 erased all(?) of his memories from Meeple, and Cobs probably didn’t want 4S to remember some rebel that left the company while stealing another Me-Prouduct so he erased it from his memories as well)

twice while watching separate brothers asked “why do they have knights” and “if they’ve got all this tech then why do they use swords”. because it’s FUN . NEXT QUESTION

[velaraffricate]

actually, I might have a decent idea for the isekai thing: I want the world switch to happen after a suicide attempt for sure, i've had this idea for a long time actually but never did much with it. maybe they were transported by the gods who took pity on them, and maybe during the course of the story they discover legends of this happening to other people too.

here's a quick rundown on astarion: gay vampire spawn (not a vampire. like a demo version vampire. a "lesser" one but don't let him hear that) who has been kept for 200 years by his master as a slave. guy (who was an actual vampire) carved him up, tortured him and forced him to lure victims into his manor. astarion has been abused in so many ways i'd hit some sort of character limit if i listed half of them. he was only allowed to feet on rats and small vermin in the sewers. poor little meow meow astarion is now free due to [game story] reasons and seeks power and revenge -- he's an edgy fuck with a lot of swag and no moral compass. bro is a menace and loves causing problems on purpose. [slight spoiler] he will literally try to suck some of your blood like a day or two after you meet him and unless you succeed a skill check he'll just keep doing it until you die. if you resurrect yourself afterwards he'll go like "ooooh ooopsie sowwy! i wouldn't kill you if i knew you'll be back teehee can we forget about this? ;) <3 don't fucking kill me". he's such a good fucking whumpee you don't even know. it's insane. i don't want to ramble but he's almost everything i've ever wanted from a character like this in a large scale rpg. [slightly bigger spoiler] despite being the go-to "fuckable" character who everyone finds hot as hell (both in-universe and online) he's HORRIBLY traumatized by his sexual experiences from when he used to be a slave and when you romance him a good portion of his storyline revolves around trying to make him realize that he's more than just a slab of very attractive meat. he hides his feelings behind a facade of "evil tumblr sexyman-esque" mannierisms and getting to finally peel it back and see him for the poor wet cat that he is is so fucking satisfying. [an even bigger spoiler] i loved watching him cry when he finally gets to confront his former master. pristine content. there's so much more to his character (and this game in general) but if you ever need to justify spending full price on a new videogame release, there's nothing better than bg3. if i could choose one game to beam directly into the brain of each whumpblr user, it'd be this one.

Okay so i already loved him from the very little information i had about him, but this is so delicious

I saw some pics of bad scars which are always hhh and heard that he is a whumpee but i didn't know the extent and now i think ive collected a new blorbo

You are telling me he meets his old master at some point...... and he cries..... and hes all sad....... he rly was made for tumblr but especially me youre telling me he has white hair and is a vampire twink who was a slave and hurt and traumatised and he has incredible sad wet cat energy and he only has a flimsy layer of confidence and absolutely no idea what morals are. i knew i needed to know more you have to understand my knowledge of the game stopped at the bear sex scene like that is it and yet i somehow always find the most pathetic little men no matter what in any media i could not give a shit about any of the rest i will consume the entire thing just to know the exact extent of his sad little life

Also i wish i had the opportunity to even consider buying a full price new release no matter how good the game is there is no world in which id be able to pay for that. Also idk about the gameplay either it seems very story oriented roleplay and almost dating sim-ish? Not a huge fan of those in general its gotta have more gameplay than walking around and basically watching a movie, but, again. No idea about anything, maybe it has incredible gameplay and i just dont know. Dont tell me if it does itll just make ms sadder bc that would absolutely make me wanna play it myself. Its kinda funny honestly the longer i spend not knowing anything the crazier everyone seems to me both online and irl. Its like im living in a separate world, i know no one who hasn't played this fucking game fjfhskhfd
