Shut up,

while I am completely destroyed because of chapter 109, I cannot stop giggling at the fact that Chuuya gave zero fucks about Dazai’s shot at that “friendship is magic” bullshit.

Like please, he didn’t even let him finish😭

Shit was mad funny (im coping hard)

I seriously doubt dazai’s dead since Asagiri gave us that scare not once but twice already -*cough* Akutagawa *cough* Chuuya- however, bsd has a knack for leaving me absolutely baffled so I’m not even going to try theorising atp

we’ll get through this soldiers🫡

Louder for the dumbass homophobes who don’t know jack shit about writing, please.

look this is gonna be a hard to swallow pill for the pjo fandom,

but the sun and the star is coming out at a really important time in the USA -- homophobia is on the rise, books like this are being restricted, and policies are being debated and passed to exterminate queer and trans people from the public sphere. having a positive example of a queer relationship in fiction, especially as part of a mega-popular middle grade series, is going to be important to a lot of the queer 10-14 year olds that make up this book's main demographic.

i have never, ever seen a percy jackson book have such a negative reception online. and it's just a coincidence that this is the first queer-focused installment of the series?

people are seeing the extent of the hate and thinking they shouldn't bother reading tsats at all, that they have already heard enough from people who hate the book. I have had people reblog my positive posts and say "maybe i'll give this book a chance, this is the first nice post i've seen about it." that's really fucking sad yall.

maybe tsats wasn't what you expected, maybe it contradicted your headcanons, maybe you prefer ships other than solangelo. you don't have to like tsats. but the amount of vocal hate for it is ridiculous. other pjo books do not get this kind of hate -- picking apart and complaining about every tiny little detail, ridiculing the writing style of both authors, mocking the attempts at sincerity, even sometimes mocking people who did like the book.

i have never seen this harsh of a response before (and i'm old -- I've been a percy jackson reader since the lightning thief came out in 2005) and especially not from such large portions of the fandom to the point where people who haven't read it are feeling discouraged from doing so.

Please look at the big picture. your opinions don't exist in a vacuum. maybe this is a hot take, but at some point the hate is indistinguishable from how homophobes talk about queer fiction. i'm just saying there are better things to turn your anger towards, and if you hated this book so much just do what the rest of us do and write fucking fanfiction to make yourself feel better. fucks sake

Exactly, Nico kept reminding Will that every time he’d use his powers he’d be draining himself which they obviously did not need. Why is it so surprising he wouldn’t do it himself? As for shadow travelling, it’s literally fact that Nico is left exhausted after shadow travelling and that after spending days in Tartarus would be torturous. And it was never mentioned that the shadows of Tartarus were even safe to travel in since it was the literal body of a GOD? If Nico didn’t feel safe to travel in the shadows in Nyx’s home (it was explicitly mentioned in the flashback scene of Nico’s first voyage through Tartarus), it’s possible he didn’t feel safe doing it in Tartarus too.

I love that he’s majorly over powered but it takes an epic toll from him and considering the fact that the book was them essentially just surviving and clinging to sanity, it’s reason enough for why he’s been de-powered.

okay, hold on now. i think we need to count on fingers exactly how many powers nico has because as much as i loved tsats i think oshiro and rick really depowered him in the book as compared to the previous ones.

(no tsats spoilers, except for the third and fourth bullet points under 'will can'.)

nico can:

(titan's curse) make cracks appear in the ground and summon skeletons from the underworld.

(battle of labyrinth) summon and control spirits with some chanting.

(battle of labyrinth) cleave the ground open with his sword, and send spirits back to the underworld even if they don't wanna go.

(battle of labyrinth) control the earth. he made those boulders collapse by clapping his hands. i think rick just forgot about it later tbh.

(battle of labyrinth) kill people just by staring at them (daedalus), given that they've been cheating death for 2000 years or so.

(last olympian) wield stygian iron, call hordes of skeleton soldiers to fight titans, and shadow travel.

(blood of olympus) project his negative emotions onto people to such an extent that it disorients them and makes them nearly faint. lower the temperature (what).

(blood of olympus) TURN PEOPLE INTO GHOSTS BY LOOKING AT THEM AND THEN SEND THEM INTO THE UNDERWORLD VIA FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN.

(blood olympus) CONTROL DREAMS. UHM. TF. (remember reyna looking at him and going 'just how powerful is this kid?')

(blood of olympus) overpower six fully armoured roman warriors in swordfighting and knock them all out in ten seconds flat.

(tower of nero) turn indestructible bulls into a living carcass that follows his every command.

(tower of nero) actually make a human's skin wither away until they're a mindless skeleton that again follows nico's every command. yes, you read that right, he can turn people into walking skeletons just by touching them.

nico can't:

not eath blue birthday cake.

might have missed some but that list is long. i once again am furthering my 'nico is the most powerful demigod alive rn' agenda. oh, and we can't not mention will solace in a post about nico di angelo.

will can:

heal people with hymns.

glow in the dark.

shoot out light from his chest. (he's so cringe, i love him.)

give the protogenos of night a very snotty hay fever.

will can't:

play violin.

refuse to give nico forehead kisses.

I only very recently realised that my type in fictional men had shown up when I was very little while I was rewatching Voltron and The 2003 Teen Titans and reading The Sun and The Star by Rick.

My first crushes ever were Nico Di Angelo, Keith and Robin, along with Sasuke.

And did anyone watch that show The Amazing Spies that aired on Discovery Kids back in like 2015 or something? There were four kids in blue, red, pink and yellow who two timed as spies and normal students.

Anyways, I liked the yellow one who *obviously* had black hair.

…see the pattern? The Black haired emotionally vulnerable and very traumatised boys were little me’s (and bigger me’s) type. 😭🫡

I still absolutely love Keith, Robin, Sasuke and Nico idt you could pry them away from my dead body🫶

Somebody: how do you like your men?

Me: Traumatized.

just when i thought i had reassured myself that there was no way that chuuya was actually gonna die i realized

dazai says "goodbye"

you might be thinking, "uh, yeah duh we can get that from literally any other translator"

K BUT THE THING IS DAZAI DIDN'T SAY "さようなら" ("sayonara"), ya know, the japanese equivalent of "goodbye". instead, he said "グッド・バイ" ("guddo bai"), the closest that you can get to saying english "goodbye" in katakana

again, that by itself doesn't seem like much, but i just suddenly remembered

dazai never finished "goodbye" because he died

[stabbyindie]

[stabbyindie]

oh my god💀

I hate everyone

[stabbyindie]

NAH THIS WAS NOT NEEDED 😭 LET US HAVE HOPE

[stabbyindie]

Dazai will probably die by the end of BSD.

I’m pretty sure most BSD fans already expect this.

Why?

Well, i’m pretty sure everyone is aware of how all (if not most) characters in the anime are inspired and named after real authors. Most of their abilities are also named after book written by the irl authors. (ig: Fyodor’s ability is called Crime and Punishment, an incredibly famous classic literature written by the Russian author, Fyodor Dostoyevsky.)

Moreover, a few characters also are incredibly alike to their irl’s. (Not all, ig Kyouka, who is the gender bent version of the irl author Izumi Kyouka, birth name Kyotaro Izumi.)

Osamu Dazai was a man with an incredibly negative and nihilistic view towards reality, it was the reason behind his motivation to write his best seller book, No longer Human. The book, however, was also considered to be a semi-autobiographical story on none other than Dazai himself, basing itself on the depression and alienation the author felt towards society and himself.

Osamu Dazai in the anime/manga, is also a man with a negative view towards reality and living. The reason behind this is somewhat explained, but still incredibly unclear, considering we didn’t get exactly get a proper backstory on Dazai yet. His ability, No longer Human, nullifies other abilities, at least that’s all that has been said so far. (I have a slight head canon which possibly isn’t a head canon? Maybe Dazai’s ability was written out to be nullification due to his nullified response to existence, the fact that he believed he wasn’t human and was created to destroy. Quoting Oda’s words of “He was practically born to be one of them (a mafioso)”.)

No longer human, the book, was also believed to be interpreted as a suicide note, considering how Osamu Dazai had committed double suicide alongside his love interest Tomie Yamazaki soon after the book had been published.

Sound familiar?

Dazai always sings about how he too wants to go out (commit suicide) alongside a beautiful woman. I’m not sure, but maybe Tomie Yamazaki might be introduced as a character in the future of BSD (idk some people say she’s made an appearance already? I’m not sure, but do tell if she has, I’m not going to rewatch the entirety of BSD for this TT).

I really hope she doesn’t since that would just convince everybody what Dazai’s fate would be by the end of the series.

I personally have yet to read No longer Human, so can’t really go much into detail about the book itself, but considering the reaction it got, i’m guessing it explains Dazai’s character in the series a lot better.

Osamu Dazai died at the age of 38 in 1948, and BSD Dazai is currently 22. Maybe later on there might be a time skip, or the series might just end after covering several more years and many more arcs, but i feel like it will result with Dazai dying.

I seriously would hope that wouldn’t be the case, since Dazai is incredibly loved by the audience, but BSD hasn’t really held out on us has it? *cough Oda*

manga readers, where are you guys at?

But it would probably serve as good plot and will be somehow canon compliant to irl Dazai, since basically everything but the world setting already is.

Again, i really hope Dazai dies not die, man’s like my literal favorite anime character to ever be written, but there’s too much going against this right now.

How does Dazai wear his bandages?? Has it ever been discussed in the manga or anime? Like...where exactly is it worn, the entire body?

I can't imagine how uncomfortable that could be, esp since that man already wears like three layers of clothing eitherways.

Also the common debate on why exactly he wears his bandages, i feel like it's both related to his ability and mentality?

I read a post here that the way he covered his eye with bandages in different timelines and Beast was related to his morals, so that's a pretty interesting take.

In my opinion, i don't think Dazai would self harm. He's mentioned time and time before that he hates pain and would not prefer it. The bandages could cover his suicide attempts tho.

Maybe if the sexual assault and abuse he faced was canon (since no one's mentioned it canonicaly yet, idk correct me if I'm wrong) the bandages would make alot of sense.

I honestly don't know what this post is lmao, a drabble perhaps?

i just started watching Beastars and Legoshi really reminds me of Ishida from A Silent Voice

I mean, they look similar, right? It’s not just me, right?

[stabbyindie]

the fact that DFO actually makes sense

There’s sm proof, that at this point, if Horikoshi doesn’t make dfo canon, half of the fandom wud go feral.

But i mean, fanfics exist :>

Writing prompt:

A N G S T

It wasn't easy to ignore the burning in his shoulders, or the painfully rattled breaths he would let out in wheezes because of just how bad his torso was damaged.

Every inhale would hurt. The exhale would be even worse.

His wrists would sting from how long they were held up by rusted chains, constantly shifting and cutting his already scabbed skin.

The entire weight of his body hung on them, dislocating his shoulders, god only knows how long ago.

He might've gagged on his own blood sometime in between his "stay", but he blamed that on the dozens of incisions and cuts on his chest and stomach.

A cruel laugh escaped his mouth before he could stop it.

They were trying to detain him.

To protect themselves from someone who had no intent or even thoughts about hurting them.

They merely speculated, a DNA test was all it took for them to jump to such insane conclusions.

Maybe he was weak for giving up so easily.

Or maybe it was the fact that for now, he would relent.

But later, there would be hell to pay.
