#but he took it way further

unpopular opinion for this area of tumblr, beware+also abuse talk warning

admittedly, all the super casual bashing of saikis dad makes me really uncomfortable, like i dont totally disagree but i wish we didnt just all do it in the middle of other completely innocent headcanoning 😭 its never tagged or warned..

my personal opinions on kuniharu are not as extreme as some are on here, like i think he sucks but i dont think hes a genuinely bad person, he was just thrown into a situation he didnt know how to handle.. he reminds me of those parents who prepare to have a baby and get pregnant on purpose, but then the baby has a disability and suddenly, everything changes.. because they didnt prepare for this unlikely scenario, but it happened anyway, and now they have to figure out where to go from here.. kurumi and kuniharu BOTH made mistakes and didnt handle their genius/psychic kids in ways they shouldve, but its because they werent prepared for it

#i think im mostly just trying to point out how people pretend kuniharu is the devil and kurumi is a saint #but did kurumi ever defend her kid? no.. she treated him in a similar way.. #shes a great mom imo but she really isnt much better than him and if youre gonna bash him you kinda have to bash her too #and do you think she ever told kusuke off when she emotionally abused her other son and called him a monster? no #she didnt #and eventually kusuke turned to physical abuse #because she never tried to tell him it was wrong #and yk what #i dont really think kusuke is a bad person either #i think he learned all of his crappy coping mechanisms from their parents #but he took it way further #nobody else hurt kusuo like kusuke did #physical abuse is never excusable but both kuniharu and kusuke think kusuo is above that kind of thing #they think he's invincible so it doesnt matter #which obviously isnt true but thats kinda also what he WANTS them to think.. so.. #so all three of them kind of suck but its because their situation sucks #lmk if u disagree cuz i think we should hear each other out #saiki k #tdlosk #kusuo saiki #the disastrous life of saiki k. #kuniharu saiki #kurumi saiki #kusuke saiki #meows post

Again the sickness speaking but here's something that has been going through my mind since forever:

I feel like a good way to mitigate a lot of discontent with the doa arc ending and in general the whole Dazai-being-flawless issue bsd has going on is by comparing bsd to Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Please bear with me for two minutes.

When Sherlock Holmes was being published, people were intrigued and enamoured by Holmes' brilliant and charming, crimes-solving figure. People read the stories for the pure joy of being left gaping at his superhuman wits again and again; they didn't want to see him fail, they wanted to be shocked and amazed by his genius. When Holmes died and then came back, nobody lamented it being unrealistic, because realism was not what people were reading the books for! They were reading to be impressed, to cheer for the hero and then take satisfaction in seeing him turn out victorious. That's the author-reader deal that was made there: to impress and to enjoy being impressed.

As of recently I feel like we've been asking from bsd something it never promised us in the first place. Maybe it's just not that kind of series! Maybe it's more about surprising the reader with how the hero is going to make it and less about highlighting his flaws and insecurities. And like, that's okay! That's why Dazai getting away with it isn't it him getting away with it “again”, it's just how bsd is; in a way, it's what makes bsd bsd.

I think it really clicked with me like it never did before when I watched the last episode of season 5; because the arc ending felt so shocking and unpredictable, very deus-ex-machina trope, a little underwhelming in its lowering the stakes that were there the whole time, and yet so extremely on brand with bsd, I didn't even have it in me to be disappointed. It was so similar to the Guild's arc ending and even more to the Cannibalism arc ending, and maybe it really is just a pattern, maybe it really is what bsd aspires to be, and that's okay too.

Also, I can't stretch this enough: if it's not your cup of tea, that's fine. I can't say it's mine either. But I feel like criticizing bsd now for how it's always been falls quite short, because it really feels like demanding from it what it never promised to deliver in the first place. That's just as far as my current perception of the series goes, though, so feel free to disagree with me on this.

#Btw this is not me comparing Holmes character with Dazai character. #Holmes character is something Dazai character will never be (respectful of women) #The also real difference between Holmes and Dazai is that one author loathes the character with everything that's in them– #and the other author loves the character with everything that's in them #I've also briefly mentioned before that Atsushi is a very Watson-like figure in the way it uses as someone deeply human‚ #sympathetic to the reader and that the reader can see themselves in‚ #plot device so that Holmes has someone he can explain his deduction to and with his awe further underlines and uplifts Holmes' genius #Also sassy #osamu dazai #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd s5 #Wow and here's me putting my season 5 thoughts down after three months. Took a raging fever for me to do so #To be fair when the episode dropped everyone was a bit crazy over the ending for one reason or the other #So back then I felt like waiting things to chill out first #mine #I often find superfluous to end posts with “feel free to disagree with me on this” because it's so obvious and expected it goes unsaid #But I suppose sometimes it bears repeating...

and everything that's here is rising in tone and saturation it's an aching, it's a violence, it's a longing to erase the separation

a companion piece to Cicadas, of sorts. closeups under the cut:

#sleep token #sleep token art #sleep token fanart #sleep token vessel #sleep token him #bygone art #bygone beloved #eyestrain #eyestrain tw #ask to tag #this one took more time than i'd like to admit. i'm usually pretty quick with my art because i tend to get consumed by the process #but this time i was consumed by other things as well. i suppose it's good that i decided to take it slow #crywolf's new song (tenebrescence) inspired me to finish this. lyrics from it are also in the caption #also to stress it further this piece is connected to Cicadas in a way #same colors (in places) & composition inspired by page 1 & the theme is similar #Cicadas is about how every vessel is expendable and how there's always someone before and after and there always will be #this is about the change of a specific one. he was someone before and he will be someone after #and he'll be himself again. a different himself than he started as but himself nonetheless #it will be okay but it will be different but it will be okay #the intense feelings (good and bad) coming from your being someone else will go away but you will be okay and you will be you #ah fuck my eyes hurt

something that makes me cry everytime is thinking about arthur knew he was going to die, and he decided to do something about it. not for himself, but for those he loves. he wasn't going to see what happened to them, but he wanted to leave the world at least knowing that there was a chance that they were okay and that they were going to be okay. that they had the chance to live normal, happier lives, that was all that he wanted to know and he wanted to guarantee it.

#honestly it just proves to me how. selfless (or how little he thought of himself) #a lot of characters would have likely spent their last time on earth trying to find a way to escape their fate #and yet #it doesnt make up for his life of crime. for the lives he took n the lives he ruined. #but he tried. tried to at least make a positive difference on the world. on the ones he loved. #side note - i know i regularly insist that arthur is a good man. but he's more nuanced than that. he is morally grey. #i think what matters most is perspective. ill probs dive into it further in the future #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 arthur morgan #arthur morgan #strawberry speaks

. . . i'm too aro for this

#i saw someone talk about “obvious” romantic tension between phoenix/maya and athena/simon #and that the average cishet normie consumer would assume they were implied romantic #and i sat there for a full minute trying to process that #because literally all i got from these pairings was big sibling energy #and i realize everyone reads that differently but. #the level of being annoying and being annoyed between maya and phoenix.... #and the whole “i gotta be a big sister” and the whole. maya is mia's little sister so by extention kind of also #taken under phoenix's wing after mia's death #the way they constantly joke about maya being childish bc she likes steel samurai (she isn't. edgeworth also likes it #he's just too stuck up to admit it. also liking “childish” things doesnt make u childish but i digress) #but anyway the joke abt maya being childish vs phoenix being grown up #furthering the perception of the difference between them and maya as a sort of younger sibling figure #and then athena and simon.... #simon literally having been her babysitter somewhat. having played with her when she was younger #and when the Mom Murder Incident happened he cared for her and got her out of there #and took on the blame “for her” ..... #all of that screams older brother to me the way he carried her away from the scene. she was just a child #IDK IS IT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE OBVIOUSLY ROMANTICALLY IMPLIED????????? #WHAT...... #i KNOW there are people who ship phoenix and maya or athena and simon and that's fine #but to me they were OBVIOUSLY sibling coded instead of OBVIOUSLY romance coded #😭😭😭 #help meeeee #cas.txt #i cant tell if the post i saw was an outlier and tinted by Fandom Perception #or if that's like. a big general consensus and i just don't see it bc i curate my online experience #bc it could go either way. i can see it being an outlier that found its way onto my dash #but i could also see it as a bigger agreed upon thing that just never crossed my dash bc i only interact with sibling content 😭 #either way it baffled me

I feel like every review of the Barry series finale that's like 'it was just meh...' is intentionally missing the point cause if they actually had to confront 'hey we as a country venerate service members to an insane degree when, just like normal people cause that's what they are, some of them are bad people. we will jump through hoops to absolve any wrongs these people commit. the police do get it massively wrong sometimes. justice is not always dished out. and we will make a butchered spectacle out of a tragedy for ticket sales.' they wouldn't get many clicks.....

#the way law enforcement overall were portrayed through the series alone I have not seen really talked abt anywhere #but GODDDDD like Janice was ~one of their own~ and they're all still so incompetent and stupid they can't even get her case right #like this show is screaming at you that this dude is PEAK delusional at the end #that's not what god wants for me #Sally tells him. to his face. if he wants to be absolved. he must take responsibility for what he's done. #but he doesn't. and he's absolved anyway. cause they twist his story to fit the #brave marine doing the best he can narrative #when really he killed his friend who was *also* a marine. he killed a lot of ppl. and never took responsibility. #and let's not even touch on how Noho Hank and Christobal are ENTIRELY written out of and forgotten #in the new narrative the movie makes. like those pesky queers further ruin this sterling service member triumphs over evil tale #I'm *obsessed* at this point idk. I've had all night to ponder cause I was up sick all night 😞 #hbo barry #hbo barry spoilers

YOUR ASS HURT. DONE.

This is my island, Starfall!!!!! I had vague but elaborate lore for it and the residents, some sort of mystical enchanted forest town that's home to some strange guys (a mermaid on land, a vampire, an alien..... two random old OCs of mine LMFAOOO and MEEEEEE 💖)

These are only snippets of Starfall, so I recommend visiting if you're interested! Plus I. Worked hard on it and am still proud of some of my builds 🫣 It was never Finished finished, but also it's at a point where I don't wanna do anything else but nuke it 😅

Dream Address is DA-9640-4620-8466 like it says on the tin!!! 🤗

#animal crossing new horizons #acnh #PLEASE VISIT i even set out some items. which isn't much but it is very enriching when visiting dreams LMFAO #i probably won't be nuking it immediately i may wanna take more pics esp of my ocs #and also that. took so much time. that's the problem w ac LMFAO sometimes it's more of a chore 😓 #ALSO I NEED TO NUKE THIS SO BAD. it was DEF made in my v early parts of transition #where i was heavy into still being a cutesy 'girly' soft boy and. AUGHHHH I NEED TO KILL HIM #NOT REALLY. BUT STILL. like i still think it's true but i'm NOT soft anymore. i'm punk. i'm PUNK #i couldn't even deck out my guy in fully edgier attired cause that's the vampire's gimmick. cute but sharp. #espppp in the start i think my guy's gimmick was pretty boy princely still v femme/cutesy #which is FINE. but god. I'M EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️ I'M SUPER EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #when i start over my guy's whole thing is he's gonna be a fucking weirdo freak. idk how i'll communicate that #through props/dress alone but i'll fucking find a way #tbh i feel like a fun new theme could be a playfully spooky island..... like starfall has hints of this #but i think i can go further. lean way into it. #ANYWAYS IF YOU VISIT. TELL ME!!!!!!!!! if you want 😇 #dream address #idk. if there's a proper tag for it.

Using this as an audio reference for the posts I'm making, but to summarize:

Yuri starts out mad.

Yuri tries to calm himself down with a deep breath to ask for details instead of going through it angry.

Flynn doesn't say "like a good knight" in the sense of putting himself down. He simply says "as a knight" (the tl here doesn't use that, but with that included it's basically along the lines of "even though I had doubts, as a knight, I was determined to follow my orders").

Once Yuri has answers he calms down significantly.

Yuri uses " 'ttaku", which is a shortened down version of "mattaku" (Yuri often shortens words and speaks very casually), which in this particular situation basically would mean "geez", or "good grief". In this manner, it's expressive of exasperation/frustration/etc.

Yuri never mentions that "Flynn told him what to do" like the dub does (because in fact Flynn did not ever tell Yuri what to do. He only gave Sodia and his other knights orders. He expressed his own desire to take responsibility, but never told Yuri and his friends what to do).

At this point you can tell the anger has gone out of him and that he's calmed down, now that Flynn is approaching this with admission and responsibility.

Sodia is asking that Flynn returns as soon as possible (I believe this was a general translation error).

Flynn's thank you to Yuri is tonally much more heartfelt.

Yuri's response and gratefulness at Flynn coming back to himself is tonally much more heartfelt, relieved and sincere.

#GTF Vesperia Clips #basically the dub version is littered with errors /and/ your regular resident angry dub Yuri #just to be clear on mattaku it can also mean ''completely'' ''totally'' ''seriously'' etc. it depends on the context #''yare yare'' is also used for ''geez'' and ''good grief'' but in a more sarcastic/casual way #''mattaku'' or in this case '' 'ttaku'' is more of a quiet expression of exasperation rather than smth you'd yell/shout when aggravated #it CAN sometimes be used like damn as a minor expletive but tbh I personally I wouldn't put it in this situation #bc his aggravation is lessening and they're getting to the point so I'd argue it's more just exhausted of the whole thing #but the dub took it a step further and used it as fuel against Flynn as they do mcfuckin' do #I'd say it's more ''damn it'' at the whole situation bc there's absolutely no reason at this point to say ''damn it Flynn'' #esp bc that led into the dub having Yuri go at him accusing him of telling them what to do when he... literally did not #and did not even imply he was going to. it was just pulled from their asses and/bc Yuri never even said Flynn's name there #it's stuff like this where they add remove and change things always in stark opposite of Flynn's favor that riles me up :/ #what I mean is that the dub changed Yuri's overall exasperation into smth accusatory when rly Yuri is like #stop trying to do this by yourself. it was never about oh woe is me how dare you tell us what to do #if he was directing a ''damn it'' at Flynn it STILL would not be bc ''he told them what to do'' #it would STILL BE because Flynn was trying to take this responsibility fully onto himself #it's so irritating bc the dub will be spot on right on point with everything but then AS SOON as it's abt Flynn it's like #they start messing around with things and the tl is changed and yadda yadda until around late arc 2 #it like lowkey comes across as enemy to ally instead of ally with a whole character arc #and the reason I legit feel like they did it on purpose is BECAUSE they can obviously tl correctly based on other areas of the game #but when Flynn is involved they tweak things if not just outright change the context (remember my Nordopolica post? yeahhhh) #how is that not on purpose? how is it that everything can be spot on for a chunk all at once #but then a certain char shows up and it's repeatedly inaccurate? repeatedly geared in a negative light that originally didn't even EXIST? #and then ofc they almost always use Yuri himself to reflect that negativity against Flynn which is a WHOLE other story/issue for me #it's like... say I wrote a neutral statement. someone comes along and tls with negative sounding additions. it's sort of like that #I'm not that good at explaining things/how I feel abt things but yeah I hope that makes sense #it's just like... I KNOW they can tl spot on so when I keep seeing them stick in all these things with/against Flynn it upsets me sm #it feels like they tl normally and then see Flynn and go oh hold on let's change that bc it's Flynn #and that's why it's so frustrating for me :/

thought about David Wymack for too long and now I’m emotionally compromised in a Walmart parking lot

#he is both Father and Mother and I would do Anything for that man #he took in the kids who had nothing and gave them all something to hold on to #he would do anything for them because no one else has ever cared #he treats them as human beings but more than that he treats them as the kids they never got to be #he cares so much and watches as they get beaten down by the world around them and sometimes by themselves #he had to grieve seth and try to hold the rest of them together #he had a son that grew up in Hell without him knowing #the kid who everyone calls Monster is the product of the abuse he’s suffered and Wymack wants to hit something thinking about it #he takes in a family to keep them together and maybe even help them heal #he aches to help but knows he can’t get too close or risk driving them further away #this kid comes along and somehow manages to glue them all together in a way that Wymack always dreamed of happening but never imagined could #and then he has to watch him come back with more scars than anyone should bear and a contract for his life #but somehow it’s the best case scenario and Wymack doesn’t have to bury any more kids #the relief and the pain that Neil Josten brings to his life is insane and he is never letting this kid go #i’m going to throw up #there’s more of course but i am Unwell and need to lay down forever #aftg #vee’s soapbox

#girl help i'm romanticizing a relationship that i was in over a decade ago that left me emotionally bruised and stunted #a very toxic relationship in which i was abused in every way a person can be abused #i always would tell myself that i wouldn't take him back after he would cheat on my and i would be tricked into it because i really thought #that i could change him and he could be better #but i realized much later that the reason i was so easy to win back wasn't just because i was in love with him‚ but also because #i really loved his family. i loved the love they gave me‚ and how-- despite how poor our relationship was-- they were on my side #and always cared for me. even when we weren't together‚ his mom was always checking in on me #he and i reconciled years after our very‚ very messy final breakup and maintained a good friendship #however he started getting radicalized and was leaning further and further right‚ so i distanced myself and removed him from my socials #last year‚ around this time‚ i started having dreams about him over and over‚ so i took it as a sign to reach out to him and check in #turned out that his mom had been hospitalized and it wasnt looking good. i reached out to her as well. thankfully‚ she went home #and he asked me how i was‚ like he wanted to keep in touch‚ and i never replied. i wanted to keep that distance between us #but i would still be near if they needed me‚ and for some reason‚ i just assumed the family knew that #fast forward to now. his mom is gone and it's weighing heavily on me. he's told me he never wants to talk to me again #and that's also weighing on me. i wish i just knew the direct reason why he feels that way #like if it's specifically something i said‚ if it's that i remind him of all the wonderful times we spent together with his mom‚ or #is it because of his new wife #i don't think i was that much on an influence on his life considering how often he used me and cheated on me-- i'm not a threat #like to their marriage. so i'm inclined to think it's because i remind him of his mom #but not knowing for sure is the worst part of this‚ i think. i know he's hurting‚ and he knows i know what it's like to lose a parent #i want to give back to the family that gave me so much‚ but now that he's shut me out‚ i'm not sure how to do that anymore #ah‚ flea. you'd know what to say. i wish you were here to tell me.

i desperately want to talk about the stt au again but i had a moment of “oh no i’m one of those people who has an underground au”. a) fuck that this is sonic fandom there is ALWAYS stupider shit out there and b) this is like. 1% underground (the existence of manic and sonia) and 33% game canon and 60% archie w movie/fleetway/whatever inspo whenever it was relevant. that is furthest from being the problem with the triple threat au. the REAL problem with the triple threat au is that it’s FUCKINH HUGE and all of rhe documentation is scattered across three discord servers two google docs and a one note folder. and shadow was stuck on the ark for fifty years bc i got three arcs in before realizing i forgot he existed and now i’m too attached to his story to introduce him sooner

#this is NOT. a criticism of underground aus i am the first in line to congratulate people salvaging that mess. i am a ninjago fan. but i am #well aware they have a connotation in some areas :( #text✨ #i’m sorry shadow fans i DO have a story tell with him but he could not be further from the point. uncle chuck has more plot relevance than #he does (though that’s mostly bc shadow doesn’t show up until the scavenger hunt arc and chuck is integral to both the metal and redemption #arcs. sorry shads. technically maria is even MORE important bc she’s a key player in redemption. you win some you lose some) #it’s barely an underground au even though it started that way. the most developed characters are still knuckles and sonic and metal sonic #stt knuckles ily dearly i’m so sorry i made your life a mess. many thoughts about sonic’s three year forest disappearance after his parents #got backstoried. i think newly bebrothered tails n sonic deserve to have their first Wacky Adventure with newly [redacted for spoilers] knux #YEARS before the proper plot even starts. that’s why it took three years for sonic to finally return to quote unquote civilization. grins #this is incomprehensible no one here knows anything about this au. ask me questions about it :] i should make those ref sheets again #sonic triple threat
