#and they are being hunted like dogs

[faolrougelunedrawings]

I don’t know, I guess Mizu beeing constantly called a dog without any actual dog in the show did some weird stuff in my brain.

And my Okami and GDW teenager self kept yelling « cool ancient japan dogs with fucking swords » et voila.

And I want to do MORE. I’m cringe but I’m free. (Join me in my stupid dogs AU plz)

ÉDIT: the picture quality is very poor, have the dogs by themself too:

#drawing #animals #fanart #procreate #dogs #mizu blue eye samurai #blue eye samurai #bes fanart #bes #mizu #taigen #akemi #ringo #shiba inu #kai ken #tosa inu #akemi outfit was so difficult to figure out #mizu is supposed to be a mutt between an akita and a random european hunting dog #but the result looks like a border collie so I’m not sure

Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud

#atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #24/10/22 #I think it's not even that unlikely to happen either? To name one‚ something of the kind already happened in 55 Minutes #(Akutagawa being assigned to hunt down pm traitors and Atsushi infiltrating in the same group– same target‚ different goals) #I just think fic writers should let go of the trope of them being assigned to the same mission by a collaboration between organizations– #which is‚ let's be honest‚ so unlikely to happen and even in canon was a one-time occurrence #(yet is such a recurring expedient in fanworks!!!) and embrace the potential of Atsushi and Akutagawa being assigned to the same mission– #from their respective organization AS ENEMIES and unexpectedly meeting on the field. #The surprise!!! The romantic tension!!!! C'mon it's so good!!!!!!! #The eventual begrudging come to a temporary accord!! That is something they chose and is not imposed!! #The turning their back to the other last minute to guarantee their own victory!! #The playing everything from the beginning again and again like a loving dance!!! Now THAT'S a good trope. #Sskk typical unconventional mating rituals right here #And since y'all really like matchmaker Dazai you can still have him getting in touch with Chuuya– #and see to which parallel missions Atsushi and Akutagwa can ~accidentally~ be assigned together lmao #Btw this was largely inspired by Sway With Me by atsumara_co on ao3 that fic opened me a world. #The quoted line is partially reprised from that I couldn't help it it's such a great scenario #Usual disclaimer that you should really write whatever you want #this is more of a reflection on my personal tastes based on what I've found to be popular in the fandom #I've already talked about this before like I can't bring myself to hold it against authors because it is an easy way to make them interact. #Still for me it really cheapens their dynamics if you make them repeatedly join forces like it was the norm... #It stripes the value of them being from enemy organizations do you get what I mean? #Kyotag out

thinking about a no upside down au steddie fic where steve and eddie run into each other years after moving away from hawkins, and eddie remembers steve and his fall from grace as king, and is kind of intrigued to see what kind of person he is now

and steve doesn’t remember him at all at first, because, look, eddie changed his hair again, and steve’s had a few head injuries (no upside down but i imagine he still went thru some shit with the party and with robin), and he didn’t really think about eddie in high school anyway, and he’s trying to forget about hawkins as much as possible (besides the kiddos, but they’re all moved out for college now, anyway) (obviously he lives with robin)

but steve is different now, happier, more open, flirts with guys, flirts with EDDIE, and eddie….. well, he wants to know more! and he tells steve he knows him from hawkins, and steve’s sunny little smile flickers a little, but he just apologizes for not remembering him and mentions he has some memory problems

and they get to know each other, and eventually as eddie tells him more (and maybe with the help of some yearbooks) steve remembers eddie. and. well. they like getting to know each other. and they like each other. and then they get together

eventually they’ve been together for a while, and eddie thinks he wants to maybe introduce steve to wayne, and he mentions he’s going to go back to hawkins for a long weekend (as he’s done a couple times) and this time he’d like steve to join him

and again steve’s sunny smile flickers a bit, but he says he’d love to meet eddie’s uncle, and… they go to hawkins. and it goes well— meeting wayne, at least, but steve seems a little on edge the whole time they’re there, tense when they drive in, fidgety when they go to the grocery store, et cetera. eddie thinks maybe steve is nervous about staying with the man who raised eddie, which is ridiculous, because wayne LOVES steve.

it’s not til they leave the town altogether that steve relaxes, and eddie realizes it wasn’t “meeting the parents” but rather going back to hawkins. and speaking of meeting the parents, steve didn’t ever bring his own up, even though eddie knew they still lived in hawkins. and the way steve glanced around whenever they went in public, like he was scared of getting recognized

and he asks about it, and steve doesn’t really want to talk about it, but he gives eddie snippets of it. people he wanted to leave behind in hawkins, memories that resurfaced, things he wants to forget

eddie goes back to see wayne sometimes, and the first time he doesn’t know whether to ask steve to come, so he just mentions he’s thinking about going to hawkins for some weekend and steve immediately starts making plans with him as if the invite is implicit. they go back to hawkins several more times, steve still tense and pent up the whole time they’re there

over time steve reveals more and more to eddie. everything that made hawkins hell for him, from the things he himself did in high school to the things people did to him. stuff tommy and carol and billy said to him. some of it is just typical high school bullshit (and oh, the nancy thing.) some of it is the tragedies steve went through, the horrors he had to protect his kids from. the injuries he sustained. more generally the homophobia that permeated the whole town, keeping steve from being himself. the lack of support in the indiana public school system for a high school senior who’s had two concussions and gone through incredible trauma.

his parents. the reason why steve’s mail is addressed to ‘steve buckley’ now, not ‘steve harrington’.

(that doesn’t come out until much, much later, and eddie is kicking himself for ever suggesting steve come back to hawkins.)

eddie, who hardly had an easy time of it in hawkins, is absolutely blown away by what steve had gone through in the same town, right under his nose. the entire persona that steve was trying to leave behind — the cool as a cucumber, unaffected, douchey mask he wore to hide all that he had endured. the head injuries. the emotional tragedies he had gone through. the way he had to be the rock for the kids even as he went through the same things as them.

he tries to tell steve they never have to go back to hawkins again, and steve is having none of it. he tells steve wayne can come visit them in their new city, and steve thinks that’s completely unfair to the man who had raised eddie, seriously, you’re going to make him come all the way up here?

and well i don’t know exactly what the ending is but steve is so stubborn about trying to love hawkins because it was eddie’s home and he wants to be able to go see wayne because wayne deserves to see his kid and eddie deserves to see his uncle and steve doesn’t want to be the problem :(

#steddie #stranger things #this isn’t very fleshed out but just. hawkins as an incredibly scarring place for steve #something built up in his mind as a very dangerous place for him not just because of what happened there but who he had to be there #i think ultimately it would culminate in them going back to hawkins and running into steve’s parents when they least expect it #and steve gets to yell at them in public and tell them they suck and ruin their image and eddie is being his little guard dog next to him #baring his teeth #for the no upside down part of the au i think it would have to be like. nebulous tragedy of season 1 struck them #barb still died (sorry barb) so that his relationship with nancy falls apart. will and el are twins and they disappear the same night #steve knows the kids earlier in the timeline in this one and has already basically adopted them when will and el go missing #eddie was never the victim of a massive witch hunt but jason still harasses him during his third senior year and gets ppl to gang up on him #so he was never like Wanted by all of hawkins and can never return but he sure doesn’t feel welcome there besides w wayne #oh i also think it would be important that one of the trips steve snaps at eddie bc he’s so strung out and immediately regrets it #and takes it as proof that when in hawkins Steve Is A Bad Person and tries to explain this to eddie #eddie meanwhile is trying to convince steve that he’s not a bad person and that he was being mean because he’s completely stressed out #and he wouldn’t be so stressed out if he didn’t make himself come back to hawkins #anyway ultimately. steve realized hawkins is just a place where bad things happened. it is not a place that makes people (including himself) #bad. it’s just. a place. and steve did not grow and change for the better bc he got out of hawkins. he got better bc he put the effort in #god i just. love steve so much and the version of him in my mind is so much better developed than what the duffers are doing

i've been dead and gone bc of school and jobsearching and everything happening all at once but ive been playing the boktai series games lately and i'm enjoying it a lot. I just got past the third boss in boktai 2. I don't know why but i'm enthralled with these games, i highly recommend them

#WOE TEN THOUSAND TAG MUSINGS BE UPON YE (this is a warning) #boktai #(pointing) the battle network fan has fallen for the crossover marketing 20 years late #the first gif is bc i imagine the bosses waiting all polite like for django to finish eating healing items when heal scumming in fights. #twenty apples a day keeps the damage away #django is like a son to me hes just a little guy #if the text is hard to read in the third image it says “The tick damage in sunlight brothers” #i find it funny that vampire django still gains his energy from sunlight after turning. his voiceline changes too #it's hard to tell if it's bc hes supposed to sound gruff or like hes in pain. but it makes me feel bad for recharging energy like that #i figure he'd be wound up abt this since it seems he views any connection to his father with a lot of weight #(e.x: zazie pointing out he's crying just after the gun del sol got stolen at the start of 2) #hence why he's depressed in that image #also all the official art of him looks very cool but im incapable of seeing him like that his sprite makes him look like a scruffy dog #im torn between thinking it's cute nd wanting to make fun of him with doodles. least typical vampire appearance with the most typical power #the way you kill immortals (vampires) in this game is so metal i need to rant abt it Somewhere #so like boktai is a game series abt vampire hunting but it's rather sci-fi abt it. instead of more typical weapons you use solar energy #the immortals resurrect after being killed #but this can be prevented via purification. the way this goes is #after winning a bossfight the enemy will get sealed in a coffin. that you then to drag allll the way back outside the dungeon #(often with new puzzles thanks to the coffin being an extra weight) #all the while the immortal inside tries to escape #the objective is to get the immortal to a. summoning circle i guess? #housing devices called pile drivers. they're more like lenses or mirrors though. #they focus sunrays on the coffin purifying the immortal after a brief fight that's like #preventing the boss from attacking the pile drivers until it dies #like. this doesn't sound all that special but most bosses you fight are sentient and i just think it's a bit of a brutal method #for a main protagonist to use #i keep thinking of how it must feel to do it for a living. something like a funeral driver but you're the murderer and the corpse isn't dea #and instead of a funeral you're taking them to a mega death laser array that'll slowly chip away at their health #and then boktai 2 inflicts that on django and im like. is he ok (he's ok but he died)

[denkies]

I remember being so distraught when we thought Hirotsu and Gin died, and then when it's revealed that Tachihara was the perpetrator, i was literally like "nvm theyre fine. That's his family, he wouldn't kill them no matter what" and i was right.

#i was on the fence about him going back to the mafia‚ but i KNEW that he would never kill Hirotsu and Gin #Tachihara's entire character is based on family ties and loyalty. he loved his brother so much‚ he joined the mafia to get revenge for him #even if he hated being compared to him. and this was YEARS prior to the series #the Black Lizard squad IS his family. even if he didn't plan it when he first infiltrated the mafia #and their family bond is even brought up in an omake‚ when the squad has to take care of a baby during the Moby Dick attack #so when it's revealed that Tachihara was behind Hirotsu/Gin's wounds‚ i was immediately like ''oh they're fine'' #bc they're his family. he even keeps the hunting dogs at arms length‚ and doesn't treat them like he treats the black lizard squad #which is something that I noticed pretty quickly when reading the manga #he gets mildly annoyed at Teruko but doesn't like. actually DO anything about it #meanwhile he and gin get annoyed at each other and immediately point weapons at each other and act like delinquents #he and gin bicker and fight more like siblings than gin and her ACTUAL brother #anyway sorry for the rambling in the tags. i love tachihara‚ i love that he's the first to break the rules of the Book‚ i love his loyalty #i love his silly bandaid and his unnecessarily complicated revenge plot that his brother would definitely sold him for #bsd #bsd tachihara #tachihara michizou #bsd 4 #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs

need jouno and tecchou age reveal Please

#trying to figure it out #jouno has been a hunting dog for six years prior to being a criminal executive #dazai eas a criminal executive at 16…which is remarkably young #which makes me think jouno would have to be at Minimum 16-17 because i feel it would denounce dazai’s status as the Youngest otherwise #so jouno is likely a Minimum of 22-23 right now . but i think he looks a little older than that #like 26-28? at least #i woudlnt mind if he was older too why so everyone in bsd so young #i’d assume tecchou is the same age…give or take a year or two #idk . i wish we got answers i am curious

would you do bird hunting with Aurora given the opportunity? (I dont follow anyone who does hunting with their dogs and it would be interesting to see!)

I'm back and forth on it honestly. Ideally yeah, I'd love to give her the opportunity to hunt and be fulfilled that way. But there are a couple of things I'm struggling with:

I don't have access to training birds myself, nor the knowledge (or desire) to go at training her seriously alone.

Most gundog trainers (incl. my local brittany person who's been helping me out) expect you to go all in, birds should be your priority over all else (including general good dog manners).

Currently, pointing dog training in North America tends towards "make dogs bird obsessed -> introduce gunfire -> reign in the dogs so they're steady". The problems with this (for me) is that I don't want a bird obsessed dog at all and I don't want to use the pressure expected/required for "reigning it back in".

I had a really demoralizing experience trying to learn more about shotgun sizing and I'm not keen to try again.

So in conclusion, maybe but probably not to a serious extent.

#waverlyofthewinds hunts with her brittany! #i have much bigger priorities for aurora #including solid little adventure dog and capacity to be offleash (with similar caveats to mav) #plus i dont like being harsh in training #and a lot of bird dog training is heavy handed #*and yes you can absolutely train bird dog stuff in a kind way #but do i care enough to put that management and effort in? ehh #i do have an air rifle and i had all my hunting permits last season for birds #so i may try again this year for grouse depending how shes doing #the last few weeks have been a jumble of trying to figure out my priorities for rory and how i want to get there #after my bird dog training session last weekend i think i might be done #im not enjoying the direction it's trending #i can always revisit once she has better impulse control and foundations #bird dog training

ready for a nonsensical brain dump?

another fun Chuuya-Atsushi parallel, THEY BOTH WEAR GLOVES!

For the two of them, hands are an outlet of their power! Atsushi's hands are the major transformation when he goes into Tiger mode -> they turn into giant tiger paws. and Chuuya exposes his hands to activate corruption/get a power boost. If we liken this specific design choice to their characterizations:

Chuuya's gloves already have well established lore, he covers his hands to help himself feel grounded. it gives him CONTROL. not only over his own power but also the gloves could be a physical representation of his own control over his own decisions? He personally takes them off when he personally makes the choice of activating Corruption. He can't control Corruption but he CAN control his choices! you know what's a big part of Chuuya's character arc? SELF AUTONOMY (and the lack thereof). GLOVES.

Atsushi wears fingerless gloves, maybe the exposed skin is an indicator of how he DOESN'T have full control over his ability, but also it shows that he doesn't NEED complete control bc he's got the support of Fukuzawa's "ability" and he's connected with the Tiger inside his mind. He never carefully removes his gloves turning his hands into tiger claws, they just burst off with the force of his power. AND. Atsushi's a far more open and emotional character and that's shown in the fingerless GLOVES that leave his fingers (a very sensitive part of the body) more vulnerable..

Oh oh and! they both got their gloves AFTER joining their respective organizations! Except in the ADA Atsushi is given some kind of freedom and a family, and in the Mafia Chuuya was. hmm well Chuuya certainly joined the mafia "on his own accord" and he did gain a family of sorts from it. hmmmmmmm im thinking hard abt this.

#y'know what's interesting as well? #the known glove wearing characters: chuuya mori yosano fyodor nikolai. the hunting dogs. tsujimura ayatsuji. #all have very deliberate and (mostly) rock solid control over themselves. #except BEING: atsushi who wavers in that field #- struggles at controlling the tiger #- prone to emotional breakdowns #- runs his mouth. sticks his foot in his mouth #but somehow.. the story of BSD bends around him in a way #the only character that matches atsushi in this weird narrative bending power is DAZAI #and dazai also is in the same boat of 'covers his hands but not fully' #dazai has deliberate control over himself AND others but he's also very empathetic and vulnerable like Atsushi #(the guy wears bandages all the time he SCREAMS 'i'm very vulnerable too') #and dazai's ability is based on touching ppl with his hands. hmm #idk there is something happening in bsd involving HANDS and GLOVES #this probably makes 0% sense

Headcanon: Franziska assumes that horse riding, fencing and playing harpsichord is an average experience.

I also like to think that von Karma had kennels with hunting dogs and stables, and Miles took a liking to dogs and Franziska – to horces.

I went to an egg hunt today. there were lots of kids there. my friends are younger than me, and I think they were trying to be "too cool to participate."

not me tho. I was borderline regressing. running around collecting as many eggs as I could. I had a blast. I LOVE healing my inner child.

I even said to a friend, "where's your inner child ?" and she replied, "she died when I was 8" so I said, "find her and let her play again !!"

The spinning blade doublesabers are another way the sith project control over the Inquisitors

The spinning blade lightsaber is a difficult weapon to use, it's a doublesaber and most Jedi (which is the primary recruiting pool for the Inquisitorious) are trained to use single blade sabers, it's hilt is shorter than most doublesabers (and has a large ring around it which makes it awkward to handle), so it can't be used like a bo staff, and the spinning aspect makes it highly unconventional

All of this serves to handicap the Inquisitors, make them weaker fighters than they could be (and since the sith aren't providing a proper education on the dark side, they can't use it to compensate), and thus making sure they can't become a threat to Vader and Sidious

#also i can't help but notice that the Inquisitors are often more effective when they use one blade and wield it like a regular lightsaber #wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #star wars #sw #inquisitors #inquisitorius #sith #darth vader #darth sidious #its an abusive relationship #the Inquisitors aren't even pawns for the sith like grievous was #there's no greater plan #no higher goal they're being used for #they're hunting dogs #they either kill their prey #or get killed #either way #the sith get what they want

it's sad but reading about medieval/early modern europe is almost refreshing because the nepotism is right out there in the open, so there's no disappointed surprise when someone's parents also have wikipedia pages or when the ones that went to schools (many of them being too posh for schools) all went to the same ones and when they own an entire county in england by the age of 25 you're not expected to sit through an article about how they did it by working really hard and saving up, everyone's very open about "yeah his dad died and left it to him" because they think that's a good thing so why would anyone lie about it?

#the fact that 'nepotism' started out being specifically about the papacy because for *everything else* that shit's just normal... #& if an official gets caught embezzling funds? you're like “wow how he did piss someone off enough to actually get into trouble for that?” #anyway i just think it's time we reconsidered the ban on hunting the aristocracy with dogs #history fandom #little bit of politics
