If anyone were to enter Dawn’s room, they’d find a curious sight. 

They’d find her, sitting on the green couch that more often than not used as a bed, and on her lap, Lucanis, his head on her lap as they talked. 

“Go to sleep.” The warden pleaded. “You need to sleep sometime, or you’ll lose your mind.” 

“But how can I do that with you around?” the crow argued, though he struggled to maintain conscience. 

“Do you want me to leave? Because I’ll-” She began to move but that only caused him to turn, grabbing her waist with one of his arms. 

“No, stay.” His head laid on her thigh, and he sighed, mumbling into it “Soft.” 

She chuckled, “Better than that wooden plank you call bed.” 

“Much…better.” Lucanis's speech was slurring. 

Dawn combed her hand through his hair, humming a tune from her childhood. 

If this street, if this street were mine 

I would pay it, i would pay it to me tiled

With little, with little precious stones

Just to see, just to see my lover walk

She felt his breathing even, and just when she thought he was falling asleep, he looked up at her and whispered “I never…heard that one.” 

“It’s a lullaby my mom used to sing when I was a kid.” 

“Can you sing it for me?” 

“Only if you promise to try and sleep.” 

He hummed “I can do that.” 

Lucanis shifted around before settling on her thigh once again, closing his eyes as he felt the hand on his head return and a soft tune sending him to sleep. 

In this street, in this street there is a grove

which is called, which is called loneliness 

Inside of it, inside of it there lives an angel 

that stole, that stole stole my heart away 

If I stole, if I stole your heart away 

It is because, it is because I wish you well

If I stole, if I stole your heart away 

It is because you stole mine as well

anyone who thinks dostoevsky's writing is dry and humourless is missing out on passages like this

one of my favorite facts about gekko hayashi (artist who drew gay erotica) is that he was straight guy who pivoted from sci-fi & monster stuff to illustrating for gay & bdsm mags at like 50 years old because he wanted to expand his artistic horizons, and compensated by lack of lived experience by setting up a phone line for gay men to call in & recount their stories so he could illustrate them...legend

meanwhile notes put up by the guy hired by my dad to help with foreign guests at his little ryokan in rural japan (“my english is not perfect,” said the guy earnestly. “but i think i can always get the meaning across.” “great,” said my dad. “that’s all that matters.”):

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits
