[rev-wrath]

Okay. So. I know it's way early than I promised, but I have some stuff to do around our usual interaction time tmr so I'm dropping the ending arc for the Devotion fic right now. (Once again, answer whenever you have the time/energy/mental capacity to)

It's gonna be totally non canon compliant bc I am going to ignore everything season 4 related, but y'know how in the end of s3, Allison used the control panel thing? In the fic, it's gonna be R who uses it and effectively disappears from the 'new' timeline in the stead of Sloane (I am very salty about this). The six years pass (still unsure whether I want them to not have their powers or if they do) and the siblings are estranged, but they come together bc like hell Five's gonna let R disappear like that. Phro's with him whilst Ros isn't, so he's taking this as a sign that R's alive somewhere in the universe/timelines.

One thing leads to another, and R (newly awakened Devotion, with their Eight persona locked behind whatever wall Destiny or Father time put up) gets trapped like Morpheus!Dream had once been but by people that actually care for them. And it's just the Hargreeves siblings trying to get Devotion to remember who they are. Once R does remember, they leave to maintain the continuity (greeting Five, giving him the book, etc).

Ultimate chapter would be the Hargreeves fam finding Sanctuary and pulling R out of their inevitable doom cause as much as I adore happy tragedies and tragic ends (and although I wanted to end this fic in a tragic way) I can't bear to do that after that finale.

I'm taking very few things from S4 with me. I love your S4 already.

Devotion returning to Eight just to leave to make sure things go the way they're supposed. Waiting. Watching. Drowning. Until they're pulled out. It feels a little like maybe being pulled from a grave?

I am however curious, on what the ending was going to be before Netflix's S4 dropped.

I think what a lot of j&h adaptations get wrong, is that ultimately, Jekyll is, at heart. A Cunt. Lots of adaptations like to write him as an innocent scientist, who got more than he bargained for when he drank the potion, and unleashed a monster, but in the novella, the only thing the potion really does, is change Jekyll's appearance. He created Hyde, and I think he had the opportunity to make Hyde into something good, but, because he's a cunt, he chose to use his alter ego as a force for evil and chaos. "Edward Hyde was alone in the ranks of evil"- of course he was, you never allowed him to be anything else. And Jekyll is fully aware of what he does as Hyde, he says it himself in his full statement, and he feels no remorse. He didn't create Hyde accidentally, he made Hyde because he wanted to do bad things and get away with it, without damaging his reputation.

Fuck Dr Jekyll, all my homies hate Dr Jekyll.

Help finding a Javier Peña fic

I’m going up the walls trying to find a Javier Peña fic that I read a while back and just cannot find it again for the life of me.

These are some of the bits I remember in case it clicks with any of you:

He is back in Laredo post S3

He meets reader who is recently widowed. The husband was very good friends with Javi before he left for Colombia. The friendship plays an important part in the story

I think Javi had a crush on reader before he left. Not quite sure.

Javi and reader get together, reader gets pregnant with his baby.

Stuff happens between them and reader finds a new boyfriend.

Javi has a car accident and reader has to take care of him.

In another fucked up moment reader finds Javi barely alive in his flat. Not sure if it was a heart attack or alcohol poisoning.

Reader’s new boyfriend is a piece of shit and tries to rape her. Javi arrives in time to save her from it.

GIF for attention

So the rest of Star leaked and I’m just gonna say, it’s very funny that Splashstar technically gives out a dishonor title

I noticed that! Have you guys also noticed they're talking about food a lot more, too? Ivypool was constantly hungry in her SE, and Harestar tries to get Frostpaw to eat before doing important things. Secret BB fan on the writing team desperately trying to add some worldbuilding LMAO

In seriousness tho, it felt like discount dishonor titles. It reminded me of how I made Tigerstar do that to Stormpaw and Featherpaw, but like... that was because of bigotry against halfclan cats and the hatred he was stoking in BB!TigerClan. Not just because he's mean.

I do hope that like, comes across. Dishonor Titles usually exist to publicly shame or even dehumanize the cats they're put on, as a method of social control both for the dishonored and for the Clan. They're not just schoolyard bully name calling LMAO

Anyway long live Mistslime and Graysludge, these names would have been laughed at almost as much as Stupidhead

Theory time on the whole "ADA member transfers to PM" deal and why I genuinely think this was part of Dazai's plan (loooong post):

Based on what we have, I actually think we can assume that Fukuzawa, Ranpo, Dazai, all of the higher ups in the PM, and the govt. are aware of the deal and that Dazai will go back. Here's why:

Prior to Fyodor's arrest, Dazai had been maintaining an essentially crimeless record (and if he does do something morally questionable, he either had government backing from Ango, or was done in a way that can't be pointed back to him).

However, before anything could progress in S4, Dazai purposely put himself out in public to get arrested. I'd even argue that he had Ango purposely release some of his old crimes rather than it being written on the ripped page of the book (and if it was actually written in the book, then Dazai must have anticipated it in the first place because he knows Fyodor would do that).

This idea is further cemented by the fact that Ango, Mori, and Chuuya are actually aware of what Dazai is doing (more than the ADA even). Dazai had contacts in and out of Mersault ready before his arrest.

To make these plans in the first place, Dazai had to have talked to (at least) Mori and Ango. This would have to be roughly around the same time as when Mori and Fukuzawa made a deal. What if all of this was just one meeting?

Because let's face it. Fukuzawa only saying "except Yosano" was such a red flag moment. If there was anyone Mori would have wanted back in his control, it would either be his angel of death or his demon prodigy. The conversation must not have ended there...

Also, why was this deal even created in the first place? I feel like there could have been a different agreement, and this just looks like an excuse to get Dazai to go back. Fukuzawa agreeing with this deal is weird because he knows what the PM is like. Why would he subject his employees to possibly experience working there?

Dazai may have actually purposely put himself up for the taking in preparation to a future enemy that needed him back in the PM- back in his hometurf with all the manpower he could command and to give soukoku the free reign they had once again (without the limitations of the law on Dazai).

So anyway, now we have Dazai with his crimes leaked, which would have been fine alone because it could be played off as part of what was written on the page, but then he kills some guards in Mersault and commits jailbreak, along with several other crimes in just 30 minutes. In addition, he is clearly shown to be working with Chuuya, a well-known criminal, who has also committed several crimes while there.

Say what you will about Mersault security (which is actually good but just couldn't keep the demons on hold lmao), but they would 100% have records of what Dazai had done there. Even if he could be considered crimeless before, he can no longer be called crimeless again now. His actions here are beyond the manipulations of the book. To have these crimes (in France) erased would require the government to have an agreement with another country and to have Dazai go into hiding for some time again (doable, but troublesome).

That leaves us to the fact that Dazai is back to willingly committing crimes and partnering up with Chuuya as Soukoku for an extended period of time. All of these acts are known to Mori and Ango.

This implies that the choice had been made prior to S4, and this is why Dazai could do all these crazy schemes.

This also clears up why Ranpo and Fukuzawa no longer consider Dazai in the ADA roster recently. Not because they don't care for him, but because he is secretly no longer part of the ADA in the first place, and Dazai's safety is now under the concern of the PM.

Scarily enough, this could also possibly set up Dazai as the next boss of the PM in preparation for the next big enemy. One thing some people in the fandom noticed was that Mori had mentioned before that Dazai would become the boss when he turns 23. This fits in the timeline well because Dazai is several months (or maybe even weeks) closer to his 23rd birthday (or he may already be 23 right now). All of this may have been pre-planned for longer than we think.

Also, as a personal opinion on the other possible transfer candidates, they actually have better hold on the ADA and would not function well in the PM.

The PM would clash with Kunikida's ideals (though it would be interesting to have the future leader of the ADA be put in the PM the same way the future leader of the PM was employed in the ADA)

Tanizaki would be a great candidate, especially for his skills (and it would be interesting to have another redhead in the PM hahaha), but I highly doubt Naomi would take his transfer sitting down (Naomi would probably even attempt to join the PM) and, in turn, Junichiro would hate to bring his sister in the PM as well. Tanizaki's entire shtick involves his care for his sister, and taking that away brings him back to having no motivation to go crazy.

Atsushi is actually my 2nd option. Moving Atsushi to the PM would make him learn more about how the PM functions, and this allows SSKK to spend more time building their relationship. Chuuya could watch over the two of them as an aide to Dazai's mentoring, and this could lead to more character growth for Atsushi. Unfortunately, this voids Atsushi's plans to learn how to fight under Kunikida's tutelage, and the "no killing" deal with Akutagawa slightly lessens its impact because they would now be in the criminal organization rather than the opposing one (I'd rather have Akutagawa join the ADA tbh. This would further cement the "no killing" idea that Atsushi demands of him and build the SSKK partnership.)

Kenji is also a good bet, but the PM already has Chuuya, which makes having Kenji redundant. Kyoka would not return without an all out brawl and would actually waste all the efforts from S2. Ranpo would be insufferable lmao, and he is not made for Mafia types of strategy (he's smart! But he is not here for the manipulation and long chess matches. He doesn't have the patience for that when he can get straight to the point), and I'm not sure who in the PM he would have synergy with yet...he works best as a detective.

NOW, I may be wrong, because who knows what Asagiri will pull on us, and all of this is based on what is shown (I'm not sure if we could trust it lol), but this is the theory I came up with based on my understanding of events. Dazai planned to go back, and the tripartite knows of it.

Before anyone says this is a waste of Dazai's character development, I'd argue that there may be a misconception as to what Dazai is actually here to learn.

Odasaku knows that good and evil does not matter to Dazai. Dazai choosing to save people is not Dazai's character growth because he has ALWAYS been capable of that despite his unconventional means. The real character growth that Dazai needed was that there was a world beyond the darkness that he insists on putting himself in, and that he is capable humanity. Mori realized this too by proving the humanity in Dazai by chasing him out with Odasaku's death. Dazai has also realized this, and is now ready to return to his hellhole as a new man touched by the light. He is ready to be a leader, not the tyrant that he would have been without this lesson. Mori just prevented another insane mafia boss from taking the throne.

In addition, the PM has repeatedly been defined as the organization that protects the city in the dark. Being in the PM does not hinder Dazai from saving people (again, they've done so before while there). This might actually give him more power to move around and defend Yokohama more efficiently.

I guess this is it for now. I may have missed some things, but these are my main arguments for now hehe

OMG YOURE THE GENIUS OF FUN GUY

This makes me realize I need to make a pinned masterpost lol

[dearru]

Just know that if you delete a Tumblr blog, there’s at least one person (me) who will be desperately searching for a fic you wrote on there three years later — only to be crushed when they realize you deactivated. And yes, you are personally responsible for the crash out that follows

[pigeonclaw]

some leaders I've somehow never drawn before

[astudyinfreewill]

thing is i know ronan lynch is extremely male presenting. like mstief has made this abundantly clear. he is a guy’s guy through and through, muscle bro, gym tank top, piss in the woods, manly beard type of guy who likes guy things like fast cars and power tools. i get this. i understand it. so you have to understand that when i say he would deeply relate to the lyric i’ve got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt i do mean in a purely spiritual way. like that’s very much not him but also in a real way it IS him. do you see my vision

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?

SPECIFICALLY THE MOVIE VERSION, NOT THE COMICS VERSION

Evidence below the cut!

There were two submissions, presumably from the same person as they used the same image? If not, hilarious coincidence.

Second links this post

First has this to say:

He is impulsive, prone to hyperfocus (or not focusing at all), easily bored, creative, makes leaps from A to Z without much seeming connection (there is, but explaining how would take too long), incredibly energetic/hyper, interrupts when speaking, prone to anxiety, has terrible time management, memory issues, speaks a lot and loudly....so....many...symptoms
