On the train of your last ask, what are your thoughts on dragons sexuality?
Personally I think he’s Demi something (more attracted to personality than looks or gender)
Honestly because we don't know that much about the guy it's kind of hard for me to form an opinion, and if Crocodad Real then we're going to find out his orientation eventually (since we gotta find out if that was a contributing factor to the Dragodile Divorce (assuming they're divorced)) so I'm kind of okay with not forming any headcanons, since the headcanon could get thrown out the window
If anything, what interests me is how Dragon's orientation could impact the story-- like when I've discussed the Dragodile Divorce I have mainly focused on speculating how Crocodile would've felt about it, but how Dragon felt about that is interesting too
Because if he's straight then yeah that probably contributed to The Divorce, but how did Dragon feel about it? Learning that the love of his life is now happier than ever before after transitioning and being happy for him, while also losing the version of Crocodile that he fallen in love to begin with? No longer feeling thet draw to him because of the thing that has brought him so much joy and comfort? Knowing that even if they did take down the WG the family Dragon had hoped to have would never come to be, because their relationship would now end? And that it would be on some level his fault, because he's not attracted to Crocodile anymore?
Like even if Dragon took things well and the divorce happened "on good terms", it would've been sad for Dragon too.
But then there's a slightly juicier option, because what if Dragon was bi, but the Divorce happened under unpleasant circumstances (be it Dragon lashing out or things getting violent because he couldn't recognize Crocodile) and he didn't figure it out until it was too late?
Because you'd still have Dragon going through some if not all of those previously mentioned feelings, of having to come to terms with the version of his significant other whom he had fallen in love with no longer existed, the family had pictured in his mind would never become a thing, that those things were be kind of his fault and that he had hurt Crocodile deeply in the process.
But then he'd be looking at some news article of Crocodile's most recent heroic stunt, seeing his handsome face with that usual, unbothered expression, and realizing he still loved him? That he still wanted to be with him, wished they were together, even now that Crocodile was a far more handsome man than he was? And then the realization that he's bi hitting him like a fucking truck
But it's too late. The divorce already happened. He already hurt Crocodile too deeply. Knowing Croc, he had probably already moved on. There was no fixing it, the relationship was over. At least for now, trying to go see Croc could be dangerous due to the WG and not wanting to risk the WG finding out about them and The Kid and Croc would probably be furious if Dragon even risked that at this point, after what he had done.
Oh, and then Crocodile killed thousands of innocent people attempting to usurp a country by manufacturing a civil war. Something Dragon can't forgive. (Not to mention, hearing he had been taken down by their own son... Oof)
But what if despite all that, and not knowing the full circumstances behind what had happened (like the fact that Crocodile didn't know who the hell Luffy was), Dragon still loved Crocodile? What then?

Since the Portia post is making rounds again, i do also want to say that you can just. draw characters fat. i objectively try to draw portia larger than she is depicted in some CGs because fuck the devs. artists that are like "well acTUally, if you look at her at this specific angle in this one screenshot, she doesn't have a pronounced belly" are just.... cowards IMO? LMFAO you won't get thrown into fat-people jail for drawing a character larger than they're depicted.
Portia specifically was at least MEANT to be a plus-sized character in an already "diverse-for-otome-game-standards" cast. and this applies to literally any character. the only one stopping you from 1.) learning how to draw fat bodies and then 2.) drawing characters fat even if they aren't is yourself lmfao

more on my odasaku lives and runs away with soukoku au i will eventually (never) write
dazai managed to stop oda before he could get to face gide
"if you go there you'll die" "yes I know"
"didn't you want to be a writer?!"
dazai yells, which his eyebrows furrowed, and there is a weird expression, one that stops odasaku for a second. dazai's usually inexpressive eyes are widened and there is something unfamiliar in his face
oda realizes that is hopelessness and his heart clenches
"I did," he replies.
dazai looks desperate and so terribly young as he says, "if you go there i'll have to watch you die"
and oh.
oh.
odasaku cant do that to him, can he?
he thinks about his orphans, his kids, about the explosion, about guilt, and he thinks, I can't do that to him.
odasaku says, mori wants be dead, doesn't he.
and dazai fills the gasp between them and grabs his sleeve and he looks at him with those strange, yet fitting, emotions, and he says, please, so quietly odasaku almost thinks he imagined it.
but it was real.
and so he nods.
dazai drags him (read as: attempts to, cause he is way too underweight and doesn't have the strength) and he doesn't know where he is going.
they ventur into some decaying part of the city, almost at the edge of it, until they're in front of an empty storehouse. dazai pushes them into it, closing the door behind them.
"it's a safehouse, one mori doesn't know about"
there is still something careful in his voice, a type of uncertainty that rarely is present.
swiftly, dazai walks across the room, almost completely empty except for a couch, a small, round table and a dusty carpet. there is also an oil lamp, and while dazai is grabbing something from the table, he goes to turn it on.
the light is eerie and it accentuates the pale tone of dazai's skin and the unlived state of the safehouse.
his grief has never been louder.
"all done, now we wait," dazai chippers, but his eyes are sharp. he is pocketing a phone - not the one he always has, and neither one of the mafia burners.
odasaku must have been staring, because dazai smirks, and shrugs. "precautions," he simply says, and oda nods.
"what are we waiting for?" "why, for an annoying dog to bark, of course!"
the words float above his head for a moment, before he understands their meaning.
he sighs.
he wonders if it's too late to go back and have his final duel.
if he is right, he just damned himself to a slow and painful death.

The idea that walking without aid is the goal even if you're in pain needs to stop. It's not a prevalent idea in disabled communities but abled people think that if you use a mobility aid it's because you are paralyzed or something and physically cannot move without your aid.
As my health and pain fluctuates I'm constantly reminded that the majority of our society want everyone who is disabled to stick in little boxes and to stay away from them. From the way we treat mobility aids, those with intellectual disabilities, and even our elderly. I've always thought it was bullshit even before I became disabled. And I've just gotten more and more angry the older I get.
I am in pain almost constantly- some of its better than it used to be some is worse and im sick of being dismissed cause I'm young.
It makes me so sad to think back on my early teens where I had so much knee pain I would daydream I got into an accident and lost my legs so I could get away from the pain. So I could be justified in using a mobility aid because me being in pain was not and is not enough for the adults in my life.
You should NOT have to loose a limb (the function of or the whole thing) to be able to have any reprieve from your pain.
