[shantechni]

I’m sorry, how am I just now finding out that the Mad Dogs were supposed to have TWO sisters?! One of whom appeared in the show unidentified and (not even a week ago?) in the anniversary comic!

Okay I actually knew about the one in the show, but there's one in the comic too????

omg so like, Dazai and the shipping container incident with him getting shipped overseas got me thinking... (I am super late to reading it 😭)

Chuuya, unaware of what happened in the moment because he had been sent overseas himself for an international mission, and he had to go out and scout a foreign shipyard for illegal weapon shipments.

AT THE SAME TIME, he conveniently receives a message forward by Mori to be on the lookout for one of their own agents because a Port Mafia member had been taken hostage around the location Chuuya was in.

Chuuya's ??? because why hadn't he been notified that someone was also either on the same mission as him or had managed to be such a bumbling fool that they got caught by foreign enemies. ANYWAY, he keeps an eye out for anything suspicious while still working on his own mission when he sees a particular area of the shipyard had been surrounded by armed foreign criminals, so he's ready to go bust some ass when they all swing the shipping container doors open and barge in to see Dazai there.

Chuuya just facepalms himself in disbelief because he can't believe Dazai followed him all the way to another country (even though it was totally coincidental) but also, he's not even surprised that Dazai managed to get himself caught by the enemy. Again.

They kick some enemy ass and Dazai gets shipped back home on the next plane back to Yokohama, and Chuuya overhears Dazai complaining to Mori on the phone: "What about my home?!"

Omggg you read my silly shipping container fic hehe *hidesss* /silly

Thank you so much for this omg <333 I genuinely cackled. There really is no end with the shipping container shenanigans huh jknfjew

Lmao Mori telling him to be on the lookout for an agent without specifying that it's DAZAI so Chuuya can take this seriously pffff

I can imagine Chuuya's shocked then angry as heck face when he spots Dazai like,,, he'd probably do a double take at first being like "is that really who I think it is?" and it quickly turns to "Fuck it is who I think it is..."

Dazai would be adamant that that was part of his plan (when it really wasn't) and complain that Chuuya's ruined it and it is somehow Chuuya's fault that he has no home now fjsbfkjebaf

Which will earn him a (justified) kick to the head 😭😭

If you're comfortable with it will you talk more about your original characters?

hello!! flattered that you'd want to hear about these characters taking up my headspace 😅🥺💜 i will warn that the project these ocs are from is very much in the rough developmental stages and i have a LOT of research and worldbuilding to do, plus some existing stuff might change, but! here's some things about it:

this started out as an au of sorts that @qiaowanmian and i initially brainstormed for something else, before they very graciously allowed me custody and the au grew up into its own independent brainrot. it revolves around shen yue, courtesy name hui'an, a boy who grew up with one foot in the jianghu and the other tethered to the palace and its obligations. the balance got tipped when he wound up getting himself involved in an ongoing war, and his deeds caught the attention and approval of the palace. in particular, the eye of the then-crown prince, xuan xing.

nearly two decades later, hui'an has made a name for himself leading xuan xing's armies as a general under the king, and as his majesty's favourite, in every sense that that implies. they're an inseparably bonded pair, and that fact is causing problems for the rest of the court, especially for those people who don't care for xuan xing as their leader. hui'an has his own issues outside of the palace walls, too, because everywhere he goes there is one very stubborn swordsman named hua qingsen who keeps finding him over and over and who won't let hui'an's past go there are reminders of the person hui'an might have become, freely wandering the land without care for the state and holding only to his own sense of right and wrong, if he hadn't spent half a lifetime giving his loyalty to the court (to a-xing. everyone knows that ultimately hui'an serves not the kingdom, but one man whom he loves). hui'an's life is cracked in half by these two worlds. between this and the palace plotting behind his a-xing's backs, who would like to see the king gone, their relationship is only going to end in tragedy for it.

(unhappy ending, yes, and that's not going to change, but honestly if you've read my writing before i don't think that's a surprise to anyone)

beyond these main characters mentioned, there's also people such as:

lang shijun, a-xing's eventual queen of convenient marriage and unofficial apprentice to hui'an, whom she met while pretending to be her own brother so she could get into restricted libraries + eavesdrop on court meetings to learn about military tactics

ruxiong, second prince and a-xing's half-brother, who doesn't want the throne more than he wants his family alive and together, but it's that same want that will eventually doom him and the people around him

ruya, ruxiong's younger sister and princess of the kingdom, and who out of these royal siblings insisted on putting her duty and position first in a way her brothers never quite could (she'll get an ending she wanted, though, won by active choice and not obligation)

like i said, there's much that i still need to fill in and develop for this, but here's a brief glimpse into what's been occupying my waking thoughts for the last few weeks! thank you for giving me a chance to ramble a bit and let me know if you ever want to hear more <333

[caluupin]

been catching up on TGAA/DGS !! :D

[displacedbias]

[Took me a hot second to find you anyways HIIII kindergala time!]

Felix couldn’t help but swear softly under his breath as he maneuvered through the far too bright gala in search for his brother. The blond hadn’t even the slightest clue HOW they winded up separated yet here they were and here he was ALONE.

The pitiful glances and horrified stares from everyone around him, all these strange yet familiar faces, all the judgemental eyes, were so much easier to handle with Teddy there. He felt less like a freak of nature with his brother by his side because at least they could understand eachother. At least they weren’t alone.

Christ if Felix himself was this worked up over it, he couldn’t imagine how Ted was fairing on his own. Was he ok? Did it not bother him? Was-

Felix was pulled from his panicked, derailing thoughts when he winded up bumping right into some blonde in a purple dress, sending them both to the floor with a thud.

“Ow-“

A sigh escaped him as he waited for Ozzy to return from the bathroom. Alice had already headed off by herself fairly early on upon arriving to the gala, and Teddy... Well, it wasn't often that Ted left Felix alone in places like these, knowing that Felix didn't fare well on his own in public functions. Teddy was always more of a social butterfly than Felix was; more sociable, easier to approach, always had more to say than Felix could ever dream of. However, it seemed even his brother had run off elsewhere, perhaps thinking he'd leave Felix to spend time with his date... who wasn't even here, at the present.

He refrained from letting out another sigh, fearing that he'd be seen as rude. That was the last thing he wanted-- more negative opinions on him than he already had at home.

As he busied himself with the tedious task of entertaining himself, it turned out to be the biggest mistake he could have committed when he should have been paying attention instead, apparently. He felt the impact first before he realized anything was happening-- And before he knew it, he was on the ground, sore, with someone else right there on the floor next to him.

Felix blinked once, then instinctively jumped to apologizing for... well, he didn't really know. He was still getting his bearings, still startled from what just happened.

——— " Oh goodness... M-My apologies... " He mumbled, thinking it was probably his fault for being in the way while the older person obviously seemed to be in a hurry. Oh, no, and now Alice's dress was probably dirty... if there even was dirt in the void.

And then he paused fussing over the dress once he actually took a closer look at who'd run into him. He froze. Was that... blood? And spiders? What a... peculiar style for the gala. Felix quickly shook himself out of those thoughts. --No, it was rude to stare, and he didn't want to make this guy feel self-conscious.

——— " Ah... Um... Are you alright...? " Felix decided to ask instead, concerned as he eyed the person who looked somewhat like himself. Aside from the obvious physical differences, of course.

——— " I, um... I didn't mean to get in your way... " He mumbled timidly, apologetically. He quickly scrambled to stand back up, not wanting to wrinkle the dress even more, and as he did, he reached out and offered a hand to help the other blond up.

Hey

This is like a /pos question bcs I'm trying to learn more about gender :>>

How come you're a boy when you have your boobs showing? /gen

I was raised in a rlly strict household and I'm confused, how does it work?

Sorry if it's an offensive question, I'm just really confused :<

HAIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT AN OFFENSIVE QUESTION AT ALL DON'T YOU EVEN WORRYY!!!! iii am genderfluid so that means i am a Girl and i have tits and a cunt:3 buuut on some days, well, most days i simply feel like a Boy. btw i'm a terrible person to ask for an explanation i am a terrible teacher lmao aaanyway i was born a girl but i just don't feel like that most of the time and that's the easiest way to put it. i am a girl and i am a boy. just depends on the day.

gender isn't all about your physical features, like yes i have tits but that doesn't really stop me from being a boy. girls can have dicks and boys can have pussies and that's what life's all about babyyy!!! i think the way to start understanding gender more is just to be more open-minded because you're right - it is fucking confusing. buut just forget about the typical binary rules and honestly remembering the boys can have pussies and girls can have dicks saying is a good little thing to remember lmao

[aeternal-nightmare]

What if I translate all my shitty ihnmaims meme drawings and post them. What then.

[insomnya777]

hi! how do you. describe characters so you don’t just use pronouns like 37 times in a row

(Especially when characters all use the same pronouns 😭)

omg ok wait this is one of the hardest things ever. i hate using like descriptive words like "the blonde man" "the taller one" etc because it just like icks me out for some reason so usually i just use character names often and then switch to pronouns. it can still get vague or confusing sometimes so then i try to just reorder the sentence/phrase it differently

[faunabel]

I look older with shorter hair too, it drives me crazy cuz ppl are ma'am now rather than sweetheart like...I wanna hide (I miss my long hair but it was a bitch to take care of..)

i forget what post of mine u were referencing so sorry if i'm repeating myself but i LIKE IT. i have such a baby face it makes me depressed :( i've always had a baby face but since i gained weight in 2021 due to the whole Situation, it's even baby-face-er than ever! :( probably would be better now that i'm older but my cheeks r too chubby rn to be able to tell,,,,, so any chance i have to look older i will happily take. i wanna be attractive not just cute :(((( ig some part of my brain associates shoulder length hair w/ like, millennial women.

i'm sure ur still very cute even if u look older <33 and if ur so cute there's no need to hide ur cute face <33 i know they cost Money but wigs are always an option if u miss long hair but don't want to deal with the maintenance? ooh or extensions!!! cheaper and probably even less maintenance (i wouldn't know tho tbh). i wish u luck figuring it out! :3

[vaaaaaiolet]

Same anon (Angst on the Radio Anon)

Oh Wolf — Goddamn. I've always had it in my head that Chloe punches way above her weight because she just wants to feel something, that song fits this perfectly. She can bark AND she can bite but she'd never do the latter except if she had to. Music vid hits different in the context of LiS too, if you take the ghost as Rachel (because everybody only gets together at weddings and funerals, and Arcadia Bay ain't exactly the place to hold the former)

Cross My Heart — I love how it could be EITHER about Max or Rachel. As much as Chloe plays at being this lone wolf, I think she wants a pack of people to lean on. The song is like a super casual way of saying “please god save me”. Loving the acoustic guitar paired with the raw vocals because it projects power and hides said cry for help

Tongue Tied — "I loved you then and I love you now" is both Chloe on Monday and Max on Loop #576 going on #834.

Cornflower Blue — I keep thinking about E2 and the train, and this quote from Mr. Robot about how “a bullet to the brain is peaceful in its own right”. In that first loop, that train was probably the worst way that Chloe ended up dying, but now it’s like… how much else has she seen, to the point now it's like “as long as I get to love you and have you around, that would not phase me”? And "I want to lay on the kitchen floor with you / I want to do all the things that lovers do" in THIS context? Reads less like "Oh this would be nice", more "I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women, and children I have to kill to get it." Max, you don’t even need therapy at this point, therapy needs to STUDY YOU.

Holy shit, excellent choices. Just found two more for Max now that I’m thinking about it:

Bloody Shirt (Bastille Remix) — To Kill a King (Max Caufield, "light the match and curse my name" era, https://youtu.be/P00kfamddrI?si=zvs7vg2xt4irFxPJ)

The Shepherd's Boy – Murray Gold (if you know, you know, https://youtu.be/fXo47CIUuFg?si=tjpax1QbOvmF1Rf0)

This is fun!

glad i could share the absolute gut punch that is Cornflower Blue with someone bc it Haunts and Torments me <3

tbh the entire second verse wreaks havoc on my brain. like. "the days they fly like trains go by / i'm on my way home to you / and i think about if they ran me down, baby what would you do?" + "in the morning i'll love the mangled bits of you / i'll love you when your lips turn cornflower blue" + "i love you til i wear you out / then i love you more'' oughghghg. tfw you're a creature of desperation & longing and your greatest work of art is suffering untold horror ad nauseam in the name of protecting someone you love <3 as you so wonderfully put it Max doesn't just need therapy anymore therapy needs to study her <3 <3 <3

also "I loved you then and I love you now" is both Chloe on Monday and Max on Loop #576 going on #834. you Get me. you Understand me

also also, real footage of my reaction to seeing The Shepherd's Boy

omg cute we had the same idea w our headers :> cat lino twins

omg hi twinnn!! hehe I love it he was soooooo cute in that ep <3

[stabbyfoxandrew]

i know you Feel like you’re struggling since some of your stories are fighting you, but you’ve been on SUCH a writing kick recently aerie!! you’re getting so much done and feeding us so much content :3 thank you

aghhh i know man but if y'all were here in the room while i was writing you would see how hard it is for me sometimes.

like i know it must seem like... very simple because it's not like i'm writing something Life Changing. but sometimes it's just really hard D:

[gas-station-chai]

Yo Chai, I was thinking about cosplaying Jack on tiktok and basically no one I know is into tftgs, can you think of any audios that would be good for him? I have a couple but nowhere near what I'd like lol

Okay so I have so many options for you bc I've got a messy playlist dedicated to every song that reminds me of TFTGS, but I'm gonna spare you my infodumping and try to limit myself to only explaining why these three songs might fit:

First note, it really depends on what aspect of Jack you wanna show off; Wanna portray him in an angsty way? I think Destroyed By Hippie Powers by Cars Seat Headrest would fit great! Showing off Jack before his (mids)diagnosis as content and (sort of) happy, and then cutting to the tired, apathetic, go-with-the-flow version of him we know so well. 

(What happened to that chubby little kid who smiled so much and loved The Beach Boys? What happened is I killed that fucker and I took his name and I got new glasses)

Or do you wanna show off how Jack as a character gets manipulated constantly? (I do, LOL) In that case, you could go with Fool by Djo, with Jack acting generally confused and anxious as he spirals into madness through the chorus (maybe with text of a bunch of gaslighting quotes from Vol. 3 surrounding him?). 

([...] I'm a jester and I'm yours Call me your (look into my eyes and baby, whisper) fool I will be your fool (I'll be your fool) I'll perform for you (perform for you) Just tell me what to do (do) I always felt so foolish anyway)

Or lastly, you could go with Dark Red by Steve Lacy and pair it with Jack acting out… well, there’s a ton of instances where Jack’s got a bad feeling about something and ends up being right about it. But my favorite one to imagine with this song is the cooler scene in Volume 1, where Tony’s trying to convince Jack to get into the cooler and flashes him the gun in his waistband. (actually, this is something I’ve been wanting to draw out, too :3)

(Something bad is ‘bout to happen to me…)

Of course, these are all just suggestions from a guy with limited(?) music taste, so I'm sorry if any of these don't fit the vibe you're goin for. No pressure, no stress to use em! Good luck and have fun cosplaying my favorite wet cat of a man <8
