BSD Interviews Masterlist

A new masterlist by yours truly. There's so many interviews out there that I wouldn't dare to aspire to include them all; but since I've been stumbling across a lot of Asagiri interviews after they attended Anime Expo this year, I wanted to at least have one place where I can keep track of the ones I see. If you know any interview I failed to include, please let me know!!

The dates reported here refer to the date the interview was published, and not when it was taken; even then, please take them with a grain of salt. Some rows feature multiple links to dislocated translations of the same interview, so be sure to hover over all the text so you don't miss any piece. Finally, sorry if the list results a little bulky at times, I couldn't seem to come up with a better way to format it.

hi thank you for running this blog, your art and posts always bring a smile to my face :]

aughh, thank you anon 😭💙 i've been struggling a bit in running this blog recently, so i'm glad you're still enjoying it

[shinelikethunder]

kinda fascinated by the mechanics of SPN 4x03 In the Beginning as a time travel episode, not in terms of paradoxes or scifi handwaving but just. narrative structure. because there's a thing that happens in some time travel stories, of hitting a point where you just... sit back. disengage from the stakes. let it wash over you. because on some level you've realized they've broken the timeline so definitively that there HAS to be a reset button coming.

and 4x03 edges further and further into this territory, as people find out things they shouldn't know and then the bodies start dropping. and finally the demon snaps John Winchester's neck and you're like "ok. cool. clearly a bunch of this never happened and is going to be put back." because it'd be unthinkable to keep it, right? that's just - not what HAPPENS. it makes everything that WILL happen impossible. it cannot stand.

except it does. all of it happened. none of it will be made to unhappen. if any of it gets reversed, it won't be by time-travel fuckery but by other, more desperate measures.

and the final effect this produces is to put the viewer in Mary's shoes. when the demon tells her that for just one of these things, the unthinkable one, the one that pushed the entire universe irreparably out of alignment, she CAN have a reset button, and the deal won't even cost her soul... that's when it fully sinks in. that THIS is "the beginning," and the rest of the carnage we've just witnessed had been the backdrop to it all along. that by the time Mary agrees to the deal that seals the family curse, we've already been led to understand why it could never have been otherwise. that the magnitude of her grief in that moment has been made OUR grief, our denial, our disorientation at a universe shaken loose from its rightful axis, our shocked and bewildered protectiveness over what could've - should've - must've - been.

Baby is such an enigma bc you can never rlly tell whether they fell for Ivan’s bullshit or not

The last audio he had was the Halloweek one, but smth no one considered is where it was on the timeline

In it, he starts muttering “The windows have bars” when looking for Baby, but the windows only have bars AFTER the audio where Ivan took Baby on a walk, and in that audio we learn Baby had been “well-behaved” and we can suspect they fell for stockholm syndrome or such

This means that it is possible that in their final appearance with Ivan in “The Cost”, Baby has not fallen for Ivan’s antics

But that’s never confirmed because Ivan states, again, that Baby had been “well-behaved”, which can easily be another ploy on Baby’s part to lower his guard, but we’ll never know

In the end, we DON’T know if Baby ever believed Ivan

another commission from @justangel-draws, featuring their oc, Sammael (on the ground), and mine, Yuo Lavellan (on the left) sparring and being horny about it :3c

[Yuo's pronouns are he/they, Sammael's pronouns are he/they/it]

the backstory of these two: Sammael is an assassin known as The Hound trained by the Chantry before he killed his handler and escaped. he continued to work as an assassin, and during the earliest days of the Inquisition, he was hired to kill Yuo. Yuo thwarted this attempt decisively and aroused Sammael's interest in doing so. Sammael then offered his blade to Yuo and also expressed interest in sleeping with him.

Yuo is skeptical at first, but at this point does not fully trust his advisors and so agrees to utilize Sammael's skills. without his advisors' knowledge, he charges Sammael with rooting out those in the Chantry and other positions of power who would strike at him. Sammael reports to Yuo through the Red Jennies, and Yuo will either have his enemies disposed of or turn their machinations against them.

eventually, Sammael gains Yuo's trust and reciprocated interest, and they enter into a casual sexual relationship up until Yuo recruits the mages and devotes himself more seriously to closing the Breach. Yuo's companions are aware of Sammael's presence and his relationship with Yuo, but only Sera knows the full extent of what Sammael does for him.

following Yuo's appointment as Inquisitor, there are several more assassination attempts, a couple of which succeed in getting close to him. Sammael is responsible for finding their employers and removing the threats. he later ends up working with Zevran Arainai, and an old acquaintance of Yuo's, who interferes with a Crow assassination attempt.

what I assume about you based on your favorite ghost and pals song

happy days, appetite of a people pleaser, hyperdontia, or chattering (2019): you're in middle school

novocaine or the distortionist: you most likely call them hot and you scare me. probably also in middle school tbh

candle queen: you're not really a ghost fan you just know this one song

honey i'm home: you're either genuinely a fan of the lyrics and themes or you just like charon and/or charon x norman

reckless battery burns: good taste this song is very well produced and the pv is cool BUT. I know you care more about tamari

aura: you like women.

star of the show: you like women. and you're the "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme as a person

the things I deserve: you ALSO like women and you're either really going through it or this song got you through it

amygdala's rag doll: you either know it from the animation memes or you're overcome with a boiling hot rage every time someone calls it trypophobia

rotary dial: you probably relate to henry unfortunately

black & white: you have bad taste (it's okay, me too I love this one) but you're genuinely so sweet tbh

housewife radio: you're correct and probably sympathize with nancy. also more than likely you can or have done a full analysis of every little detail in this song

colorbars: you're into glitchy and digital aesthetics and you much prefer this design over his broadcast illusion one. if you're a. certain way. you might simplify him down to Gay but cmon people we are past that it is 2023

anything from nothing perfect that's NOT perfect nothing: you chose the "i'm not like other girls" option but that's okay because it's an under appreciated ep

perfect nothing: you think you chose the "i'm not like other girls" option. banger song though

those who carried on or two of a kind: I am in love with you. dystopian stuff is your vibe and you're really curious about the pv wip characters/wish it wasn't left unfinished

spider on the wall (2018)(my fav): you scare me. objectively bad taste (affectionate)

spider on the wall (2022): you scare me worse. objectively bad taste (DEROGATORY)

in iolite or chelovek: do you exist (HI I LOVE YOU) if you do you love it when ghost does stuff that's actually different and cool

uncanny, adapertio, or I had to die to survive: you'll cling onto any oc or relationship ghost drops and you probably had theories about uncanny and adapertio when you saw the similarities

culpability or pierre janet's criminal defense: you stuck around during the slow period/hiatus and I will, for some reason, assume you're an older fan

entomologists (2019): I don't think you exist either but I love you. a lot. really into the "bug" part of industrial catholic bugcore

scapeg♾️at: you relate HARD to this song. want to see your abusers in the GROUND. probably a real petty person but I admire that

deathbody: nobody seems to really like this one for some reason? but if you DO I assume you're an older fan who related to foolish and/or ttid in your youth

end world normopathy: be honest you're here for tamari

[adulthooliganism]

yea i gotta go undercovers . for this mission. *gets just so so cozy in bed*

[conivolos]

i would just like to share with you all my lovely house i built in like less than an hour this morning

[sn0wbat]

so this one is about helena's first moments as a vampire.

[biblicalhorror]

Having Trump as our president was like living in a house where an evil puppet possessed by a ghost made all the rules and sometimes the puppet would be like "I should make it so that you are all trapped inside this house with me forever and also i feel like i should probably send some nuclear rockets to conquer the world for me" so we all worked together to exorcise the house. And Biden as president is like the white dad in a horror movie that's like "now kids you remember what life with the puppet was like. You better behave or else I'll bring him back. Also we're going to move into this other haunted house that's killed the last three families that lived here. except they didn't have OUR can-do attitude! also im going to bomb the shit out of the houses a few blocks over because i HAVE to. but I'm really sad about it i promise. If you do anything to try and stop me youll get the puppet back"

Feel like I should confess to you all that Quinn is named after one of my favourite fictional gay women, Quinn Fabray from Glee.
