y'all stop saying fyodor has never looked so sincerely angry before. he has.

I know this because, and this is not an exaggeration, the vast majority of my manga revisits are to enjoy his expressions of anger, disdain, and malcontent. i shit you not, several of my bsd meta posts wholly unrelated to fyodor were written because I happened to notice something else while flipping through to imbibe fedya's hissy fits. I don't reread the manga when I do this, just those scenes, unless something else catches my attention.

anyway, stop disrespecting my beloved pastime.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd fyodor #most people are remarkably bad at reading expressions #not me though #this isnt a bit i fixated on how emotions are nonverbally communicated so that i could lie better and to develop a pleading face #for most of elementary school i studied people's faces and workshopped my own by getting feedback from others and testing them in the field #then in 8th grade my gifted program teacher made us take an assessment on how well we could read faces #to debunk body language expertise #and demonstrate the fact that most people think they can read faces but most of us cant #emphasizing why trials and presumptions based on assumptions that we can are harmful #everyone predictably failed real hard #except for me. i made an 80%#my teacher made me take it again and explain to her my process.#then she asked where i learned it and i explained to her that i never got stickers at naptime in kindergarten because i never slept #so i began obsessively refining my fake sleep #it took months but i figured out how to coordinate all of the tells and it worked i started getting stickers #so then i started to practice other states of mind #and she marked me an outlier and removed me from the data 😭#anyway. all im saying is. i love fedya's face.
