The fact that people insist that Oda had the best understanding of Dazai just because Dazai said he knew him best makes me understand just why the fandom has such a bad read on him.
The reason Dazai agreed with Oda's perception of him was because Oda didnt care that Dazai did the right or wrong thing, he was never gunning for the "you are better than this" or "stop trying to kill yourself" kind of concern. He was just letting Dazai be whatever without even an ounce of judgement and ultimately only reflecting Dazai's own self perception. But he was also looking at Dazai from the same perspective he used to look at himself. Seriously, I have seen people talk about how Oda understood Dazai better than anyone because he lived through similar events and had no light in his eyes or was a child assassin etc but that doesnt mean his perception of Dazai was good at all. He projected his own perceptions onto Dazai and like who even came to the fuckass conclusion that Oda had a healthy perception of himself???
#also we need to stop romanticizing accepting people with all their self destructive and toxic tendencies#thats not romantic and its not a good thing#itw god awful for Dazai's mental health and idk why this whole shit even became popular#cause now people actually insist that oh Dazai may have just been a child but he was a psycho who didnt give a shit about anyone#when it is repeatedly made clear that he had a tendency to infact care way too much and latch on to the first person who interested him#he cared about Chuuya's perception if him during dhc#he cared about Oda's perception of him during dark era#and he has cared about the ADA and Sigma's perception of him hence the aggressive and horrid masking#and he is hilariously bad at masking cause everyone is unsettled by his fake clownery#and despite how bad he is at it people still think he is actually apathetic and evil???

'When', not 'if'
("I'm not a romantic" I cry and scream before dropping the most sickening thing i've written to date. Blame @stunie because i did tell her i would write the most ume thing ever and maybe this is it. The title in my docs for it is 'Fucking disgusting' but i figured i better not title it that here because I'd be seeing it in my notifs lmaoo)
SFW/no cw unless you hate fluff
When you wake up from your nap, one of your slippers is gone, and there's a blanket on you that wasn't there prior. Looking at the clock, it's been about an hour since everyone had left your apartment once your birthday party ended. The day as a whole had been chaotic, your boyfriend shoving you out the door with a note to go see Kotoha.
The note took you farther than that, though, as it seemed Umemiya created a whole scavenger hunt for your birthday that had you running into all of your friends, having dessert at your favorite cafe, and eventually ending up at your shared apartment to find that all that time spent around town was a distraction so that he could set up the space for your party. After it had ended, you were banished to the couch because princesses aren't allowed to help clean up their own birthday parties, which had you huffing and falling face down into the chicken shaped pillow affectionately called Mr.Clucky.
It was a product of your boyfriend's endless cycle of hobbies when he took up sewing. A little lopsided and overfilled with stuffing, you complained to and into Mr.Clucky with your face pressed into him. Apparently, he was soft enough to fall asleep on because before you knew it, you had been drooling on him the entire hour. Prying yourself off the couch took more effort than was almost worth it before your eyes fell on the reason you were so tired to begin with.
Hajime smiles and hums looking at your bleary eyes. "Good morning sunshine, I was just about to take you to bed," he says, folding a dish towel over a chair. You toss off the blanket and grab on the slipper that fell under the living room table before padding up to him. Dipping your hands under both of his arms to lock them together behind him, now your face is in his chest instead of the chicken, which is entirely preferred.
"Don't wanna go to bed just yet," you muffle, sinking even deeper into him when both of his arms wrap around you in support. He smells like dish soap and birthday cake, and you turn your head to hear the heartbeat in his chest.
"What do you wanna do lovey? You know I'd give you the world if you asked," you can hear the rumble of his voice in his chest with your pressed ear. He's cheesy, but half asleep, you feel just as much, if not cheesier.
"I have the world if I have you, they're one in the same. So just you is more than fine." Your eyes are closed, but you feel him shiver a little. "I wanna dance with you, though," you say, voice still soft and kinda raspy from sleep.
"Dunno if I can top what you just said even when I propose," he chokes out a laugh, or at least you think it's one. He shifts his hold a bit and starts leading you both in a lazy sway that starts near the toaster and ends next to the potted plant at the back door before starting over.
"When? Not if?" You tease him, a hand going to scratch the nape of his neck lightly.
"I'll never meet another you, so I'm pretty set on When."
"I'll say yes." Because you will. You can't imagine a life where you wouldn't.
"And I'll still cry when you do." You can tell he's crying now because it comes out shaky and his hold tightens a bit, before you lean back, stopping your impromptu waltz. Both of your hands come up to cup his face and look at his teary grey eyes before cooing at him.
"You big baby! Save those tears for When please. You'll be congested and sniffley all night if you don't stop." You start cleaning off his face with your sleeve, but he stops one of your hands and starts peppering your palm and wrist with small kisses. "I think I'm ready for bed now. Princess's orders," you say, dragging him towards your bedroom. You'll have to figure out tomorrow just how soon When is going to be, but for now you can hear the slow thumps of Hajime's steps as he follows behind you, squeezing your connected hand. It's not pressing in the least, you think, because it feels like there will be plenty of tomorrows too.
-----
When you wake up in the morning, it takes you an hour to realize Hajime had put the ring on your finger while you were asleep.
It takes you five minutes to run through town in your pajamas, barefoot to find and full on tackle him in front of the place he was about to get your breakfast in.
And it takes about two minutes of unintelligible blubbering on both your parts before anyone understands what is going on.
No one timed it, but if they did, it would've taken less than ten minutes for the whole town to find out via texts, calls, and yells down the streets and through windows that you're engaged.
#umemiya hajime x reader#umemiya hajime#mari writes#also em this is because of YOUR sweet ume fic as well YOU'RE my inspo#the most romantic thing /i/ can think of is slow dancing even when theres no music its always been that way#though the song i gave to this one is one summer night by the danleers just like...thats what should play when reading the dancing part#also i watch too many turner classic movies so its like....watching an old old romance movie#i couldnt reread it more than twice sorry if the grammars bad i was cringing the entire time because while i think this is good#im allergic to emotions and i made myself cry during it#one day id like to write something small on the scavenger hunt he sent us on cause i think it'd be cute#he might do something similar when he proposes but shhh#i want him to drop the ring off on my finger when im sleeping like the tooth FAIRY OH MY GOD I COULDVE ENDED IT LIKE THAT FUCK ME#WAIT I CAN WRITE IT AS A QUICK SIDE#ok im back i wrote it

Joked about Adam being divorced one too many times that now I'm getting anti-divorce ads
Adam think of the children... Please...
#the context for this image is deep#basically i saw a tumblr sexyman quiz#like one of those mary sue quizzes#and i told my readers in my discord server#adam and steve each scored 30 points#guess which points they scored#and when it was getting down to the last like 3 they were struggling so hard to figure out which ones applied#and someone asked me 'does adam coint as divorced?'#and it made me absolutely lose it#so funny to think of his horrifying situation as divorce...#anyways#uh.#idk why the fuck this ad was on my blog#fuck you#divorce is such a hard thing to go through especially when you gave kids#and the children are always kept in mind. obviously.#the divorce is often BENEFITTING the children#by getting them out of a terrible situation#all my friends who have divorced parents. which. now that i think about it is a lot...#think jts a good thing their parents separated#like#do not stay together for the kids#thats not healthy for you or them...#plus then youre just putting your children at the center of your romantic relationship#and putting an extreme amount of pressure on them#to think its their job to keep you together#horrifying ad#text post#shitpost#not art

not to fandom meta tweet twice in one night but i hope hakita releases treachery soon because SOME of you guys have lost sight on gabriel’s character almost completely like this is unreal. like i think you guys just completely forgot what made him appealing in the first place and just started making shit up on your own
i guess this is more of a symptom of fandom drought more than anything LMFAO… technically we havent gotten any new information or lore about gabriel since act 2 was released and that was years ago so i guess i shouldnt be surprised
anyways dont forget that gabriel killed the entire council with his own bare hands and cut the head off one of them as proof for the Entire Angel Population to see. and conversely the fact that he was regarded as one of the most popular and well beloved angels due to his radiant personality beforehand, his kindness towards the ferrymen, his genuine blind belief in justice and devotion to god
gabriel is the story protagonist of ultrakill
#ultrakill#gabriel ultrakill#idk its 2am im fucking tired#but im hoping SOME OF YOU#not pointing fingers but you know who you are#can really start approaching things from a new perspective#i dont really trust anyone in this fandom to characterise him properly anymore tbh#he contains multitudes#but you guys seem to be focused on only a few specific parts of his story#thats alright#i get it#but i think you would benefit from a wider pov as well#that said im sick of a lot of gabv1el art#i think it all being so romantic and fluffy is really misinterpreting the core story#not only just because i love the gore and violence of the gore and violence game#but also just.#i think some of you genuinely have media literacy issues#whatever good night

"You can't ship rhack, it's toxic!!" Wrong, that's exactly why I ship it
#im baffled#i can write an essay on how interesting rh/ack is and how devastating their relationship is#thats why i ship it. they make my stomach hurt AIDJSJD and i like that#'jack treats rhys like angel. its abusive!!!' yeah. thats another thing i love about it#jack treats people like property whether theyre family/friends/lovers/whatever#he has patterns that bleed into every aspect of his life#and i wanna see those patterns romantically with rhys. it doesnt get more simple than that#i also wanna make jokes with them cause they have a funny dynamic in canon#and sometimes i wanna see that ooc stuff because again. they have a dynamic that isnt always portrayed as horrible#domestic rh/ack can be really fun cause jack has one hell of a personality#and theyre hot together!!!! they look good!!!#youre not gonna 'convert' rh/ackies by posting your crap in the ship tag. post abt stuff you ACTUALLY like instead#did people forget whump is a thing 😔#delete later

"Why not?"
"I wish you were a girl."
#hughlander#at first i thought of hughie saying the first quote but the more i thought about it the more it made sense for it to be john HEAR ME OUT..#he was obviously trained to only enjoy the whole “american dream” so ofc that picture perfect look for him would be a woman next to him#while he himself is a piece of shit and cares only about his image he also just doesnt give a shit#(based on his behavior l8r on in the show) he also just doesnt care what anyone has to say especially since in his eyes he is THE strongest#no one can say anything to him and hes untouchable..which is why his odd obsession with hughie will prove to be zero issue#and while he tries to make a connection with hughie in his own overly possesive way hughie holds himself firm with his actions#(lowkey where things gets ooc oh well idc) homelander does try and make SOME sort of attempt in picking at his brain anf at hughie as to#figure out WHY he even is interested in “that loser” and in doing so he eventually finds that hughie for whatever stupid reason#notices that he GENUINELY does care about people and that its not some front like he really does and TRY to see some good in people#so john opens up slightly to him about what people at vought did to him as a kid and its those moments where homelander tries to make it-#light buy hughie looks at him and i mean really /looks/ at him and says “jesus thats fucked Im sorry” and john is absolutely dumbfounded#like so dumbfounded and the god honest yet short comment in regards to him opening up about his past#essentially john starts to feel what he always imagined what “feelings” are supposed to be and after a long time of him and hughie oddly#finding some sort of “middle ground” he tries to pull a move in a moment of odd peace amongst the two and hughie jerks back#john is so confused and i mean REALLY confused#he thought he read all those “signals” right based on the romantic films he was forced to watch why is hughie acting like this?#he doesnt want to even think about what this pain in his chest is and all he can ask is “why not?”

Everyone loves the 'eddie has been crushing on Steve off and on since sophomore year' trope but honestly love me an Eddie who is like "yeah Harrington is hot, I've got eyes, but prep isnt my type" and honestly just doesn't think about Steve that much! Outside of, like, school gossip, especially during/after Steve's fall from grace. Really kind of love the idea of Eddie not giving the time of day to Steve up until his little sheep come to him every day weaving wild tales about the shit Steve has done, and even then it isn't really until he sees Steve go teeth first at a demobat that he starts reevaluating Steve and seeing him in a new light.
Because Eddie honestly kind of gives the impression that he's just as much caught up in his own world view as Steve was pre upside down/even pre S2. And like I know that we love Steve but Steve hasn't really done anything to give most of like his classmates any reason to love him aside from the generic jock stuff lbr. Especially for someone like eddie who is extremely anticomformist to the point of monologuing on the lunch tables.
And it's not so much a 'love at first bite' (heh) situation either but just all the things during and after s4 and the friendship they develop that makes Eddie reevaluate not only Steve but his world view and what he wants from the world! It makes him think. Fighting interdimensional monsters has a way of bringing out the best and the worst in people. And Eddie finds he likes what he's seeing. I'm not necessarily saying I want a slow burn either, but having them both have time to be like "huh maybe this person isn't what I thought i would want but he is want i want, isn't he?"
#steddie#in todays book of i am tired of most common steddie tropes lol#okay but here in the tags gotta be honest#i think its a bit disingenuous to eddies character to say hes been pining hopelessly for steve for years#like i like it sometimes but its so common and im like????#non-comformist/anarcho adjacent eddie???? pining after a doucheh jock romantically???? for years????#nah i dont see it#i do very much enjoy 'steve is sexy and i am INFURIATED by this' eddie tho#i just dont think eddie would really view him romantically until he gets visible proof the man has changed!#like he basically says that with his munson doctrine thing#something something if eddie survives/survived i think he would actually make a very good foil to steve#and him having to get over his internal biases but from the other end of the spectrum#but thats a dif post#stranger things#steve#eddie#steve harrington#eddie munson

Honestly, shout out to whatever the hiring process is in the Compound that they looked at 2 of Britain's most autistic dorks and went "Hmm yes, those two need to be bound together for the rest of their lives" and damn, ya know?
They were correct
10/10, no notes, godspeed 🫡🫡🫡
#Ty and Felix are just Autism4Autism. and I think thats beautiful#They're so.#I love them. Platonic/Romantic/Some Secret 3rd thing its impeccable#It'd be cute if Ty was the one that hired Felix#but also i love the notion that someone else decided this#just stuck em in a room and let em sniff each other through the door. and now they got a note attached 'Bonded Pair - Do Not Separate'#anyways#woe.begone#w.bg#ty betteridge#w.bg felix#ty and felix#<- dont think thats an actual tag but it be good for future organization

Karen: LMAO every guy I meet reminds me of my big brothers that's so funny except if Paul is already my brother and you're also a brother that's a bit awkward, huh Hot bartender: THATS MOVING REALLY FAST AND I LIKE YOU AS A PERSON BUT - Karen: having my brothers date would be SO WEIRD Hot bartender: Well on the bright side I literally cannot speak more than five words to him so we aren't dating because he's so cute
(Everyone else: that is somehow the most depressing bright side we never want to hear)
#my characters#oops i fell in love#I just think its really funny how i view so many of the cast as either the only child or#somehow still the only child but with twin cousins that he grew up with somewhat like siblings but is older than them#and then THESE TWO LOSERS (beloveds) are definitely younger siblings#there is no way Karen developed her personality without the help of older brothers#there is also a very funny and agonizing thing where she is super single cause she can't view a guy as more than a brother#she meets an asshole and is like wow just getting huge brother vibes from him wtf#and meets the nicest man possible and is like HOW IS HE ALSO LIKE A BROTHER I WILL NEVER LOVE ROMANTICALLY#and she has all of the guy friends and its very clear if they were interested she has long since friendzoned them#but its fine because they all are also convinced that shes exactly what it would be like to have a brother#so its fine its all good no one really agonizes over not romancing her and she just as a found family in everyone#hi my name is salmon and you may recall my feheroes experience where i want to give a certain male all of the siblings#the sibling adopter extraordinaire ? yeah thats basically karen now that i think about it#you know one time at work at my first job there was a girl who had a crush on a guy and we all worked the same shift a lot#and one day she was whining because he was so friendly to me and he looks at the girl straight faced and says#ITS BROS BEFORE HOES aint that right and im like uh huh sure thats exactly right#and later i told him i really wanted to know where she went wrong because i had a crush on him in school until he opened his mouth#and hes like yeah sucks to wanna date me you made the right choice#and i just ..... will never forget that weird guy#he saw me in a hoodie once and goes NO WAY I HAVE THE SAME ONE and then makes sure he brings it in next time we work together to prove it#he was like an annoying younger brother to me and i thought it was very funny that apparently i too am a sibling to him#i might be adopted and i might be biased but i think everyone could use an adopted sibling that they dont live with#thats a special bond ok im just sayin#also sorry its so late tonight i had some uhhhhhh problems haha

i cant phrase this well but infinity train book 2 is for the aroace transgenders. lake transgenderism is obvious but nothing in my life has screamed to me queerplatonicism as much as lake and jesse like their qpr readings are off the fucking charts
#infinity train in general is for the aromantics. i've talked about this before (very poorly) but the way it handles romance#as in ''there rlly isnt any theres just characters and they interact naturally and sometimes that involves things that read as romantic''#tulip has 0 romance in her story. lake and jesse as stated before have crazy queerplatonic vibes.#grace and simon is probably the most romantic it gets and thats literally barely anything.#and ryan and min ofc have the classic homoerotic childhood friends thing going on.#its literally so good i dont know how to describe it but just. i think its the fact that like i said they're not treated as ''romances''#you can absolutely read them as such its very easy to. but theres nothing explicitly romantic about any of it#there's no discussion regarding any of these guys about crushes or dating or whatever. they just exist#its not necessarily the absence of romance. its just the removal of the label romance. i love it so so much#serena.txt#GAH i still feel like i didnt explain it properly. idk its really one of those things you just kinda Feel watching it

watching the flashback scenes in redding weddy caressing my screen while a single silent tear falls, like a mourning army wife in the 40s with a locket. which is appropriate given the subject matter.
#truly it makes me feel like im sighing sitting at the window#its raining#i can basically recite the whole thing#all 5 minutes of the most gut wrenching romantic drama of my generation#'ah lieutenant havers' 'communique from hq for you sir- marked urgent' 'this'll be my request for a service revolver'#like do you get it.#'exciting times havers' 'i know we do vital work here sir.. but i'd like to get involved in the fighting.'#'i put in for a transfer... there's talk of a north africa front'#'ah.. yes. well. i completely understand of course' <- the most devastated man thats ever lived#'ah havers! i was just thinking about you actually'#'im afraid im leaving you sir. at 1800 hours this evening' 'so soon?'#'i shall miss you havers.... by which i mean of course that we. shall miss you.'#the 'keep it under your hat' poster.. it KILLS me. it makes me ACHE.#reckless talk costs lives or w/e it says. every fit man wanted.#like... got they did such a good job with those scenes it makes me wail#bbc ghosts#capvers

something something i have many thoughts on the deliciousness of jyn and cassian’s relationship being specifically about the... ambiguity, or if not the ambiguity, the places where it shirks and twists away from the modern hollywood play-by-numbers Movie Romance into something... earthier, messier, more human and intimate. like i don’t personally feel like we needed the kiss, or the infamous deleted wedding ending, as much as i would love to see it in the cut scenes, because i feel like what the movie provided us felt so much more true to character. because there is no kiss, no hollywood declaration of love, the audience has to look at the text as is and the body language and acting decisions and those are simply more insane than almost any other live action star wars couple
#am i explaining myself? i'm trying to mentally piece it together#we don't get a lot of the modern famous romance stuff but we do get insane physical intimacy and Acting Moments over the course of the film#they don't kiss they eyefuck in an elevator like. idk. hard to explain#also i feel a good part of the Point of this relationship is the fac#t they don't have time to#really develop their relationship it dies just as it starts thats the Tragedy#rebelcaptain#jyn x cassian#etc etc#jyn erso#cassian andor#i think felicity being asked if its romantic or a friendship and her saying its all those things was a correct answer#i think diego talking about it is so interesting too because of the way he highlights the mirror aspect#and the fact they're a union. a duo#the film is interested in the aspects of their union in serious ways!#also like the way that *not* sticking some of the obvious Signs of Romance kind of averts the whole He was a Boy SHe was a Girl can i make#it anymore obvious????

dating an art student was so crazy I'm just thinking abt that one birthday I had where my ex got me stickers from the etsy of the person they were cheating on me with....
#they made them address the thank you note to me and everything ajskfjfkfb. i didnt know they were cheating at the time but wow...#every time i break out my sticker collection and see them im reminded of it. but i cant throw out the stickers theyre deltarune ones 😭#like they were a rly cool artist.... just unfortunate that happened 💀#the drama was insane. my ex only wanted to sleep with them but they (other person) wanted them to break up with me so they could date#but my ex dumped them rly harshly for suggesting that i guess 'romantic' cheating was a step too far even for them lmaooo#i heard abt their breakup secondhand and god could they be cruel sometimes. they made fun of the sex theyd had w them#to all their mutual friends n everything i actually felt so bad for the other person when i found out. at least our breakup wasnt that bad#i only finally got that cruel side of them directed towards me like a year after when they wanted us to stop being friends#but yeah. its also funny in a way bc my ex only suggested i had adhd bc the other person did too + struggled a lot with rsd#which i guess they found out when they broke up with them. and then looked at that and thought huh my gf is kind of similar...#and this was like. 2 years before i even considered i had adhd myself and sought diagnosis ahdkfidjcjdjfjfjfkdbfnf#this made me go look the other persons art page up on instagram + then i recognised some of their friends/flatmates art pages and i found#their (my exs that is) grad year film which is still being shown at animation festivals... good for them good for them#i dont think they have an art page themselves tho cuz they were always v shy and weird abt sharing art on social media#like everyone else except them is tagged on things... shame i wouldve liked to see what they were making now. even if we're not friends#also one of their old roommates made some REALLY similar squid game fanart to mine like a month after i posted it huh..#not mad abt it or anything i think its cool i just didnt realise they showed my art to their friends. thats cute#ah this was years ago anyway. getting my head out of the rabbit hole#im gonna go play some elden ring and then maybe do smth fun in my sketchbook we shall seeee#.diaries

and like sidenote if i can make a post with a target audience of zero. i feel like fhsy was to d20 what aa3 was to ace attorney but aa3 pulled it off better for reasons i cannot explain
#it is. the amatonormativity#^ guy who was REALLY pissed about the sandra lynn stuff#like yknow that bit in the first ep where brennan is like 'oh this drama is going down' and so like the pcs investigate it#probs bcos they think itll like kick off their new quest#and then it turns out to be like. petty romantic drama.#thats kind of a microcosm of the entire season for me#not to say there werent parts i liked (looks at the picture of baron i printed out and hung on my wall)#(and most of the leviathan stuff was brilliant and ayda is a role model for me)#but its all so tied up in the rest of that shit that i dont rlly wanna rewatch it the way ive rewatched fy 6+ times#likening this to aa3 bcos of the rlly noticeable uptick in romantic content in it compared to the rest of the trilogy#like prior to that all that rlly comes to mind is like. 2-3 and pearl's shipping shenanigans and larry existing#but in aa3 both mia and phoenix have past lovers who play big parts#theres a married couple theres tigre and viola (who sidenote i ENTIRELY missed as romantic my first playthru. i am dense)#there's the business with fawles#like it felt like romance played a large part in every case in aa3#where even when it came up in 1 + 2 it was usually ancillary (2-3 excepted but like. ppl regard that case as a fluke in most regards)#you COULD argue that maggey and adrian also inject some romantic presence in the story#but idk it just doesnt feel as central or prevalent as in aa3#like i saw a post abt adrian and celeste being cousins in the aa anime being not just the sailor moon 'best cousins' thing#but like. reinforcing the themes of familiar devotion as aa2's core. and that was rlly foundational to my understanding of the game#even tho its a change that comes from an adaptation#whereas you Couldnt make that change in aa3 without it changing A Lot of shit#where was i going with this. shrug.#the zelda and tracker relationship drama was entirely manufactured as punishing the pcs for not centering npcs#whose relationship issues were ancillary to the overarching plot they were focused on and which hadnt rlly been brought up beforehand#'why didnt gorgug call zelda :/' do u want zac to pause the kalina mystery to roleplay good relationship communication with the dm??#like its one thing looking at sy as a narrative but looking at it as a ttrpg campaign with limited time and a need to split character focus#i dont see what it did for the story besides give gorgug something to angst abt. didnt rlly feel like there was character growth or an arc#sigh. MANDATORY DISCLAIMER its been at least a year since i watched sy and longer before that since ive played aa3#but at the time my feelings were strong and have only calcified. romance as a theme in something not generally abt romance
