Searching: Part 2
I thought I'd make a post like this to answer your ask @luarsunny. I can't add a page break in the ask box, and I don't want to accidentally spoil anything for anyone.
Warnings: Graphic depictions of death and grief. Tobiuo is my OC. One Piece speculation and potential spoilers beneath the cut. Page break added just in case.
Canon divergence. I know that's not where they are right now.
First of all, I am very much in denial and have been since I read it. This was the initial comic I did hint at how I saw it going down without spoiling anything. She is looking for the remains of the Victoria.
If she ever found what was left of the Kid Pirate crew in the depths of the sea, the Heart Pirates would be the ones rendered speechless rather than Tobiuo.
"At Elbath, in the New World, the Kid Pirates lead by Eustass "Captain" Kid with a bounty of three billion berries... were destroyed."
There would be no words, no gasps, and no sounds made on behalf of the grief she would feel in her heart at those words. Immediately racing against time and daylight, she would not have to sign with her hands or write a word to have Law turn the Tang towards Elbath.
Being one of the few members of the Heart Pirates who could breathe and speak under water, she would frantically call out for any member to hear them in her search. The remainder of the crew would wait with baited breath, Bepo closing his eyes and whispering soft encouragements to Tobiuo while she attempts to remain composed.
Finding Killer first, who took the majority of the hit from Shanks, would break her. Killer and Tobiuo have an understanding between them: him being the middle ground who gives both Tobiuo and Heat that final push to get together. When she finds him half consumed by the creatures lingering in the deep, she would begin to unleash a scream that can transcend the barrier between oceans and air from beneath the water.
Bringing up the crew, one by one, she would momentarily pause on Heat as his eyes lay glazed and unresponsive. Her heart screams at her to stop and lay beside her lover, but Law commanded her to not rest until she finds Kid. She hasn't found him, and she's been searching for four days without rest.
Lethargic and hallucinating, she finds him. His body was locked between rock and bone. With his metal arm still attached, she attempts to use the last of her strength to drag him up. His body is bloated beneath the pressure of the sea, swollen and pruned with the salt pickling his skin. Dragging him up to lie beside the crew, Tobiuo would crawl over to lie beside Heat. Maneuvering herself to lie tucked into his chest and beneath his arm, she uses the last of her strength to let out a whimpering sob as she exhales the water from her gills. Once the water releases, her cries are once again silent as she mourns.
Regardless as to who attempts to move her, she lays there frozen and stubborn in her motion. She fasts for three days, only waking from her rest to cry for Heat and the crew in this time. The scent of death begins to linger in the air, the bodies of the Kid Pirates are given funerals on long boats lit ablaze by tongues of fire. As Law stoops down to gently rouse his prized fighter while she grieves, the only thing to physically make her release Heat from her arms is the promise of vengeance and crafting her wrath. Just as Law sought his revenge for Doflamingo, he swears by blood oath to aid her in unleashing her scorn onto Red Haired Shanks.
As a final say in mourning her lover, she openly weeps as she sinks her teeth into a lock of his lengthy blue hair, severing it's link from his decaying scalp. Clutching it in her webbed hands, she witnesses Shachi and Penguin cast the boat away to join his body with the others at sea.
Reaching behind her head, she twists the cutting of his hair in a braid interwoven into her own strands, mourning the man who held her heart completely. She would only eat to make herself stronger, develop her Haki to have her abilities foster, and lose a part of herself she had only once again regained. Sleep brings little rest, the world falls to a life without joy and colour, and her once cheeriness is all but lost to her and her crew.
She knows she can't kill Shanks alone. He's a yonko, and Tobiuo is not an idiot. But what she does know now is her reach is not limited to those who walk along the land…

I’m in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed
(Fairytale by Alexander Rybak)

#fairytale is the most Dazai-from-Howl-AU song alskdjfj#honestly works for canon-universe skk too but#it always makes me think of the sad bird man#anyway hiii! I have once again descended into chaos#because my household accidentally took in a second cat#but new cat is causing much chaos#finally had a more low key afternoon so I drew this!#howl’s moving castle au#bsd#my art#bsd dazai#bungou stray dogs#bsd chuuya#soukoku#skk

listen if the existence of the book means there are an infinite number of realities then there’s at least one where fukuzawa took in the both of them and the ada was born on two pillars instead of just one
(pls do not tag as beast)
#oriondrewthis#bsd#bungou sd#bungou stray dogs#bsd odasaku#bsd ranpo#bsd fukuzawa#bsd fanart#do not get me started on the parallels between these three#i will never shut up#and i’m not even talking about this fun little au that i’ve been thinking about for the past three years#no bc the parallels exist in canon#and i will be insufferable about them#they are so important to me#also also not beast btw#my au is different from beast aku still is in the mafia#but dazai is also in the mafia it’s a whole thing#just not beast wanted to make that clear 🫶🏽#two pillars au

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.
Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.
But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.
The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.
It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.
Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.
I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.
I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.
#homestuck#homestuck fanart#hs fanart#dirk strider#blooby posting#ask#Sorry for taking so long to reply to you on this. I’ve been in more of a drawing than a speaking mood lately#which is very unusual for me. This is definitely not as much of a post as it could be but I’m still not back on my thought and speech game#I know the Roxy mention was in brackets but good lord the treatment Roxy gets from fanbase is insane. Couldn’t help myself#Sorry if anything is worded badly. I’m tired per usual#I think (with no malice in my heart) people just tend to leave out what they don’t like about characters though.#I was very briefly talking with Pomme johnegbertirl#and it got me thinking about how far a lot of people’s interpretations of characters stray from what would be realistic to canon#based on their own biases. Which I guess I probably do too to a certain degree.#I’m not one to judge people for their characterisations at all#I tend to be very forgiving when it comes to reads#but… I admit that is indeed a little disappointing to see how completely ignored some parts of his characters are.#Sorry for tangent that is tenuously related. It is relevant enough to shove haphazardly into tags#I’m glad you like my Dirk ramblings though. Thanks brother#We live on

ode to a failed partnership
#been thinking about this one for a while now#is this how it went down in canon? probably not#Chuuya wasn’t sure that Dazai was the one who planted the bomb buuut Chuuya is also the guy who can sense a disturbance in the peace and#forces around him when Dazai is near. surely he felt it in his bones that Dazai was the one to blow up his car#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#bsd fanart#chuuya nakahara#bsd chuuya#soukoku#at least implied lol#my art#bsd#using 3d assets to scrabble together a composition and use as base for paintings is actually starting to work#no way in hell will you catch me drawing a car from scratch

people are arguing on twt over whether Mikasa or Historia understands Eren the best, when the clear answer is Armin
#baffled because it's literally canon that Armin understands Eren better than anyone else#& Armin is the only person Eren told the whole truth to in the end#so like 🧍♀️#cl thoughts#armin arlert#eren jaeger#eren yeager#Mikasa has her own unique understanding of Eren that is no longer (as of s4) shielded from the cruelty he embodies#Historia understands Eren through their similar roles & experiences & also does not like the guy. They Get each other. begrudgingly#mikasa ackerman#this is not a slight to any other character!#but it's genuinely canon that armin understands eren best#historia reiss#also leave hisu out of these fights#girly keeps catching strays#eremin#erearu#attack on titan#shingeki no kyojin#aot#snk#but also it's hard to rank bc many characters understand different parts of Eren & who can determine which part's most important?

Plus its supposed to help improve anatomy. Coming to an internet near you.....eventually. i have like. So much work to get thru this summer ur for sure not getting anything substantial til at least the fall

which role does dazai / kunikida take in your au?
they take the roles of flame pillar and flower pillar! i was actually doodling this recently so i might as well answer this ask
rengoku and kanae don't actually meet in canon, but! kunikida and dazai's relationship are too important for me to not incorporate into the au. more of kunikida's (and dazai's) story will be revealed as we go
#bungou stray dogs#bsd#kunikidazai#bsd dazai#bsd kunikida#bungou stray dogs fanart#bsd fanart#bungo stray dogs#kunizai#i only just realized i can diverge from kny canon to fit the bsd characters nicer#it still follows kny canon#i'm only adding more stuff to it so i can honor bsd canon relationships#kny!bsd au#tuna answers#tun_art#tuna art
