[head-empty-just-sigma]

so i’ve been thinking

i know, dangerous

in all honesty, what is our cast of characters supposed to do about Fukuchi..?

i’ve already made my rant analysis (that you can read here if you’re interested) about how Fukuchi is really just an old man with a time traveling stabby stick that makes for a horrible OP villain. up until now, when presented with such a crisis, either soukoku or shin soukoku will partner up and defeat the big bad… or at least they had weaknesses, like Dostoy not anticipating Dazai was going to find him at the end of the cannibalism arc, or how most of his henchmen and underlings were eventually foiled or defeated to come to a satisfying conclusion that set us up for the next story beat. even Ranpo has his weaknesses, and his whole character is centered around knowing everything

well, we know for a fact that that’s not going to happen this time considering our usual duos and their friends are having some technical difficulties at the moment...

so that makes me think…

who is left to fight at this point..?

obviously we have Fukuzawa, who is currently fighting, and Atsushi is... around. but, the character on my mind the most at this point is Mori, since he’s been missing for quite a long time now. this by itself isn’t a big deal considering side characters often go literal years without any story time. however, this becomes a bit more interesting considering what’s happening to the rest of the Mafia and the world right now in bsd

so, i’m going to analyze some pieces that might be added to this 4d chess board of a story line. including more than just Mori. however, i’ll be talking about Mori quite a bit in this post, like almost half of it actually, so if you don’t feel like reading this, that’s fine

🔺minor spoiler warning for chapters 30/31, 50, and 84, and Dead Apple and Stormbringer. also spoilers for basically the entire current arc up to the most recent chapter as of writing this (ch 105) since i talk about most of the main events/situations🔻

I’ll start by taking a moment to talk about the European android everyone knows and loves(?) from Stormbringer…

Adam Frankenstein

Ah yes, the android, the myth, the legend, and the being that made me cringe so hard i got face cramps the first time I read him chewing and swallowing multiple pieces of gum like candy. That Adam.

We never see him or even hear of him in any other part of the story, including the main manga. He’s kind of just in Stormbringer and never brought up again, supposedly living somewhere in Europe doing android detective things. We haven’t even gotten a hint or any foreshadowing that he might show up in the main story, either. The reasons I think he may show up now are kind of simple to be honest.

He’s an android. That’s it. He’s, y’know, not made of flesh… And he doesn’t have blood.

What makes blood important right now? The vampires. Considering we know that Bram can transform a human, alive or otherwise, into one of his minions by ingesting their blood, we can probably assume that this is how it works for the other vampires as well. Therefore, Adam is at a major advantage against such an enemy since 1. his body is made of metal that couldn’t be damaged by Piano Man’s wire guillotine or regular bullets and survived the heat of Chuuya’s first Corruption with minimal damage, and 2. he doesn’t have blood. He does have this blue substance that I assume acts something like oil or fuel for his body, but since he’s most definitely not human, this doesn’t count as blood for him. He can’t be turned into a vampire. I don’t even think Fyodor could hack him or put a virus into his system, like he did to the Moby Dick (which is technically an ability that got turned into a mechanical ship). If anything, the vampires would just break their fangs trying to bite into his neck.

Since he’s in Europe, which is where our two jail kings and their entourage are, it’s more likely that Adam will appear in the jail scene with Dazai and Dostoy. I’d honestly be happy to see this because it would be interesting to see how he and Chuuya would interact now after so many years apart if Chuuya is ever cured of his, y’know, vampirism. Since he most definitely isn’t going to just die. It would also introduce a new character for people who haven’t read Stormbringer, which could reignite interest in this god forsaken arc for those of us who have given up on getting more than a few cliffhangers and a reminder that Fukuchi sucks every new chapter (trust me, I feel you).

Moving on to another semi-short analysis for a character we haven’t seen outside of light novels. And the mildly disappointing adaption of one said novel.

Shirase Buichirou

Another character who is also in Europe, specifically London, is Shirase. At the end of Stormbringer, he and Chuuya parted ways on somewhat good terms when Shirase heard of a group called the Stray Sheep in Europe, which he joined. Nothing has been heard of him since, similar to Adam. The only reasons I bring him up here is that 1. he’s in Europe, same as Adam and the jail kings, and 2. he is also connected to Chuuya (and is familiar with Dazai, to some degree, but this isn’t important).

I’m hesitant to say he’ll appear in the story considering we truly have no idea what the state of the BSD world is right now. Japan is overrun with vampires, and there’s probably nobody left there who hasn’t been bitten unless they’re a major character in the story (that hasn’t already been bitten). We know that the vampires have been moving out by disguising themselves with sunglasses and stuff to hide their eyes and complexion and getting on planes. Where those planes went to, we only know it’s somewhere overseas. There’s also mentions of fictional countries that only exist within the BSD world, similar to Kenji’s home town being a fictional one from a novel written by the irl Kenji. Fukuchi mentions he “needs to control half the nations’ armies” in order to carry out whatever plan he has, and it’s probably safe to say this has already come to fruition since he threatened to set the vampire army in motion if One Order wasn’t unlocked.

The likelihood of a character like Shirase appearing without being a vampire is much, much lower than Adam, and for more reasons than just because he’s a regular human. Shirase has no ability and is not named after an author or any other real-life person (that I know of), therefore it’s very unlikely he’ll be revealed to have one unless he wields an ability weapon like Fukuchi’s sword. Which is also highly unlikely. Given these conditions, he’s probably already been turned into a vampire along with the rest of the organization he joined. Another possibility for his inclusion is just to be killed off (by, perhaps, a vampire Chuuya). Or he might make a joint appearance with Adam, but I still doubt he’ll be a major character unless he’s there to die to further the plot.

Not to mention Asagiri has mentioned many times that Chuuya’s story is a long one that’s full of hardships, so perhaps one of those hardships may just be having to kill an old friend.

Sorry Shirase fans, but that’s just my thoughts on the matter.

From here on, I’ll be discussing Mori and how he’s appeared and disappeared throughout major story arcs and how he’s interacted with the ADA since the cannibalism arc. I know he’s apparently a controversial character to talk about because of his ability and the comments he makes about underage girls and whatever, so if you don’t feel like reading this part, that’s fine.

In case you’re interested in another character appearance, I have added a few honorary mentions at the bottom of this post.

Mori Ougai

Port Mafia Boss. Underground doctor. Ex-military doctor. A third of the Tripartite Framework. And one half of the first version of soukoku before it was known as soukoku.

His titles honestly don’t mean much to me as the only thing he continuously claims to motivate him is his position as the Boss, which is reasonable as his entire livelihood is dependent on the organization and its success. He fills his role well as a clear villain character with extremely black if not straight up non-existent morals, which we get plenty of examples of during the Dark Era, the Guild arc, and even the Cannibalism arc. The currently arc also proves that he’s both willing to provide some aid to the ADA, as well as make manipulative requests of them despite the horrible position they’re in currently for his own potential benefit. He is truly, wholeheartedly, an evil character.

What I want to focus on the most is his hand in moving the pieces on the chess board, so to speak. We know that Dazai and Dostoy are both sitting on the board, presumably in control of every piece, but is that really true? Remember, Dazai is only the way he is because Mori manipulated and taught him to be that way, which we can see from the parallels in how they act when making threats or doing something morally wrong. The comparison between Dazai’s attitude and Mori’s in chapter 30 is telling enough, seeing that Mori’s expression when he murdered the previous Boss 8 years ago (as well as when he talks with Hirotsu in this chapter) is almost identical to the one Dazai makes as he says his thinly veiled threat to do the same to Mori. The anime makes these expressions even more similar than they are in the manga, but I take everything studio bones does with a heavy grain of salt at this point… And not just with BSD

The last time we saw Mori was when he was mentioned in chapter 91 as the liaison who informed Tanizaki and Kenji that it was time to come out of hiding. He appeared normal and not infected by the vampire virus, which isn’t much of a surprise to me. Stormbringer showed that he’s more than capable of avoiding death, and by proxy, avoiding the master assassin Verlaine. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to assume he was able to avoid the hive mind army of vampires that are just regular soldiers, and most of the ability users that have been infected are mafioso who Mori is very familiar with. However, whether or not he’ll intervene in the prison arc is not what I plan to discuss here.

The previous two characters would only make sense to appear in the prison because of their relationship to Chuuya and their location. Mori is Chuuya’s Boss, sure, and sure he probably wants to keep Dazai alive and on his radar, but Mori is still in Japan and knows that Meursault isn’t a place to be taken lightly.

No, I think Mori is about to become a player in the battle against Fukuchi.

My evidence isn’t necessarily anything concrete or even any foreshadowing, such as with chapter 84 when it was pretty obvious that Akutagawa was going to show up to aid Atsushi when he was saying he was all alone, or back in chapter 31 where it was obvious that soukoku was going to reunite for a big fight.

Fukuzawa, so far, has been the only person capable of standing up against Fukuchi alone and not being beaten within seconds (except Tachihara, but, well… yknow). So this alone is interesting to me because Fukuzawa is one of the strongest fighters in the ADA, and arguably one of the strongest fighters in the entire story considering his ability has nothing to do with his raw swordsmanship and martial arts skills. Keeping that small fact in mind, I want to jog your memory of the battle that happened in chapter 50 between Fukuzawa and Mori. Both of them are afflicted with the cannibalism virus, which is probably causing them to feel horrible with symptoms, but they still face off in a 1v1 that looks a little unfair. Mori has his ability, Elise, that does whatever he tells it to do and is basically a highly skilled and deadly combat ability. Fukuzawa, while still an ability user, only has his sword and his physical talents. His ability is a support ability that works on his subordinates, he can’t use it to fight like Mori or Fukuchi. However, he still holds his ground extremely well and even destroys Elise within minutes if not seconds of the fight starting, and Fukuzawa deals the fatal blow to Mori first. Even though Mori also severely wounds Fukuzawa just seconds later, it’s more important that this fight showed us that they are practically equal in combat skill. Not to mention Natsume makes an appearance to tell the two of them to stop fighting since both of their organizations need to survive to uphold the Tripartite Framework, which is something they both agree to disagree on basically.

There’s also the events of Dead Apple where, while under the effects of Shibusawa’s fog, Mori and Fukuzawa are fighting their own abilities and struggling. However, when they meet and switch opponents, they easily take down the other’s ability. They even share a few lines of dialogue that shows they’re familiar with each other’s fighting styles and tricks, similar to their explosive meeting in chapter 30 during the Guild Arc.

Now let’s look at the situation Fukuzawa is in right now. His subordinates are in all danger, and the only one that could potentially be coming to his aid is Atsushi, which is a possibility that I’ll mention at the end of this post. However, doesn’t this setup of our protagonists in a life-or-death situation with no help in sight, seem a little familiar to you?

Dazai was surrounded by soldiers in chapter 31 when Chuuya arrived to (begrudgingly) help him out, on Mori’s orders. Dazai was literally dead in Dead Apple when Chuuya showed up to punch him in the face (deserved) to save him.

Atsushi rarely wins on his own, but with Akutagawa’s help and the singularity created by their combined abilities, they’re able to defeat almost any enemy. And when Atsushi was desperate for help in chapter 84, Akutagawa arrived, even if it was on Dazai’s orders.

Fukuzawa is currently losing the fight against the OP time traveling stabby stick wielding grandpa, putting him in a dire situation of trying to save the ADA while not dying in the process. So, will Mori come out from wherever he’s hiding to provide aid to Fukuzawa? Will zenki soukoku come back and parallel the other soukoku’s reuniting/working together to defeat the big bad? It’s hard to say, honestly, but I do believe it’s entirely possible considering Mori has been strangely missing in the story after agreeing to aid the ADA. Well, the ADA needs aid. Badly. And it’s about time they finally got some.

I think Fukuzawa and Mori have the potential to defeat Fukuchi together considering their both equal in strength, so perhaps putting their finely tuned skills together is what will prove to be our deus ex machina that defeats Fukuchi’s self-induced deus ex machinas that are honestly getting pretty damn tiring at this point.

There’s also the fact that Mori had originally agreed to aid the ADA on the condition that one of their members transfers to the Mafia, so perhaps Mori showing up to aid Fukuzawa will be a manipulation tactic to force them to agree to let him choose who he wants to join, since he only actually wants Yosano out of the deal. However, it’s possible that maybe Tanizaki will be the one to change organizations? He did offer to go in Yosano’s stead in chapter 65 when the deal was originally proposed by Mori, who straight up lied about what Fukuzawa told him over the phone that the one person Mori couldn’t choose was Yosano. Mori is a very, very smart man, so he probably knows that if he forces the ADA into enough of a corner under the guise of helping them, he can get what he wants out of them as well. He could also allow the majority/some of the ADA members to die or come close to force Yosano to heal them and work for him one way or another, since we saw in her backstory in the military that Mori isn’t above shooting someone to make Yosano heal them because now they’re “close to death”. He most likely hasn’t changed much in those ways over the years, so I’m expecting to see some extreme manipulation taking place on his part if he does come back into the story.

Honorable mentions that came to mind as I was working to gather potential suspects:

Atsushi

He’s there, kind of, I guess. So much of the arc recently has been like 2 pages of one perspective before changing to the next that I’m not even sure if he’s still the main protagonist anymore. /j

Since he’s also at the airport where this whole *gestures wildly* thing is happening between the two Fuku’s, it would make sense that he at least shows up during the fight. We also know he’s actively looking for Fukuzawa because he can’t decide on what to do next now that he knows what the DOA is after.

The only way I see Atsushi being implemented in the battle is if he gets super upset or angry over seeing all his friends and coworkers in serious trouble, and either Fukuzawa releases his ability (if that’s even possible) from Atsushi and allows him to use the full power of the White Tiger to fight Fukuchi, which could potentially defeat the time-traveling sword since the Tiger’s claws can cut through abilities. The other option is he goes feral? I don’t really know to be honest. Maybe he just gets his ass beat again by Fukuchi. Who knows. I’ll just be over here preparing the party poppers for Kunikida’s promotion I guess.

Verlaine

Why? For fun.

He’s never appeared in the main story line since he lives in the Port Mafia’s basement basically. But considering the Mafia kinda went up in flames (or vampires, I guess) it’s possible he’s on the move now. Whether he’d appear in the jail, to save Chuuya, or appear at the airport, potentially under Mori’s orders, I honestly don’t know. But, since he’s part of the Mafia and another character we haven’t seen, and the cover of volume 22 as well as other official artwork has been featuring several Stormbringer and Sheep references, some people believe we might be seeing someone from that cast of characters in an upcoming chapter. But honestly I think they might be on as much copium as I am…

It would be funny to see Verlaine show up and just crush Fukuchi in like 3 seconds while the rest of the protagonists couldn’t defeat him though.

Ango?

We see Ango last in chapter 95 when it’s revealed he’s the one that demanded a seal be put on One Order, at Dazai’s request as part of his plan to counter Dostoy. He hasn’t been a big player in this arc beyond being the coordinator early on for the ADA’s moves, but since they all were reunited and came up with their own plans, he’s been more active as just a background character acting on the messages from Dazai. But, since he is the final piece of the Tripartite Framework, I thought I’d just mention him here as well. Natsume clearly wants the three organizations to work together, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Dazai has also given Ango a message or plan to relay to Mori. I don’t think he’ll ever be a super big part of the current events, though, just more of the background coordinator.

The Guild?

We kind of see them and then we don’t. We know Fitzgerald wants to work with whoever is winning, which as far as we know, he thinks is going to be the ADA. He was giving them aid in exchange for Yosano healing Mitchell, but we don’t really see anything come after this agreement is made? Atsushi and Kyouka get into one ambulance with Mitchell inside to bring her to Yosano, and at the same time, Yosano (along with Tanizaki and Kenji) are attacked by the government who set up their own trap unknown to Fitzgerald and Atsushi. We know Fitzgerald didn’t set them up because in the first few pages after we see the government attacking, we see Fitzgerald explaining why he didn’t go with the 74 plans Alcott prepared that included selling out the Agency’s location. Technically, it only happened because Tachihara is a Hunting Dog, so he betrayed the location of the meeting since Mori sent him and the other Black Lizard captains for security, and Tachihara is using his metal manipulation to pretend as if there’s an ability user attacking them with the government so they have to retreat after Kenji is severely injured. He’s also there to prevent Atsushi from reuniting with Yosano just a few minutes later. Which is truly impressive since he’s technically fighting himself the entire time? Wow is that symbolism of him as a character if I’ve ever seen it, that’s for sure. Not to mention he also stabs himself with Gin’s knife, just *chefs kiss* of a character I really wish he wasn’t killed/vampire-d whatever the fuck happened because he deserved so much better. But anyway, we never see the Guild again after this. So we have no idea what they’re currently doing, nor have we seen the other branch of the “Guild” that Steinbeck created at the end of the Guild arc since the end of that arc. So, I doubt they’ll come back.

The Clock Tower?

They’d have jurisdiction over Meursault, but it’s hard to say if they’ll step in. They haven’t been a part of the story at all beside Agatha’s little cameo from chapter 12. On a side note, I believe Agatha’s ability will be something along the lines of causing death in accordance to the lines in the poem “Ten Little Soldiers” (obviously I’m not putting the original name here) since her ability is named after the mystery novel And Then There Were None that’s about ten people dying on an island of various means that follow the reasons in the rhyme of the poem. It’s quite interesting, actually. But back to my main point, I don’t really see why they would suddenly come into the story now. If anything, they might appear if Fukuchi decides to try and use his vampire army against the governments of the world and create a world-wide coup d’etat with One Order.

Is this a copium-driven fever dream of a hope to have? Haha, fuck yeah it is! But I’ll let the copium win today if it means having at least a little hope that Fukuchi’s arc of shitty OP-ness will come to an end soon. Please. Asagiri I’m begging. I’m on my knees. Just PLEASE

Anyways, that's my thoughts on the matter. This theory was a little out there and not really based on too much evidence, but I still felt the need to write up this post, or else the brainrot might actually get my final braincell and it'd be all downhill from there.

As always, I hope you enjoyed, and thanks for reading. If you have your own idea of what you think will be the thing to defeat Fukuchi, feel free to say it in the comments or send a message to my Inbox on my profile. We can cope theorize together :)

**i just finished editing this oh my god this is so long i’m sorry i just had a lot of brainrot about this and i’m desperately awaiting whatever is going to end Fukuchi to the point i want to do it myself

[AFTG] Misfortune of the Fortunate

[AFTG] Teach me How to be a Fox

[AFTG] The Fox Trap

I have a couple of things that I want to write next to these, however I am aware that it will be hard to do so with everything going on IRL, so I'm setting these as my main goals for now (might make a poll at some point this year to choose what i might work on next)

Writing Reflection

This year was a crazy writing year, if I'm being completely honest, and in many different ways. The biggest change for me this year in terms of writing was discovering the JBBingo, along with AUgust, they really both inspired and pushed me to create more writing content and I loved taking a part in both of them.

The goal of this year is to pretty much finish write and share more than I have done this year, so hopefully 250000~ or more words this time around.

He finds everything fascinating! “Woah, what’s that?” “Who is that?” “What did that person do?!” “Was that really what happened just now?!” …you get my point! Anything new to him is a new amazement! A wonderful glint to the eye! He’s like those birds attracted to the first shiny thing they see. He will even compliment his enemies that are fighting stupendously. Seriously.

But because of his fascination with things, he also has a tendency to “get lost”. It’s not that he doesn’t know where he’s going… erm. Supposedly. It’s the fact he is mesmerized by one thing, and once following that one thing, he suddenly… is somewhere else. Astonishing, it’s a wonder how he does it. This will happen very often. Sorry for anyone trying to find him.

He gets agitated. Surely, even a polite guy like him has his moments. When something sways him the wrong way, depending on what was said, he will retort back. He’s not afraid of talking back to someone, especially if he’s been around you for a while. You’ll hear his annoyance right away. But he doesn't do this as often. He’s another expressive character of mine. He’s not afraid to smack or punch if he needs to, depending on the situation.

Erm, it’s dense. It’s very dense. You thought Kaminari was dense? This guy is similar. It has trouble understanding certain situations. Please help it.

It’s also a little hypocritical. It will do one thing, then suddenly, it’s judging you for doing that thing and correcting you. Then, it will realize it also did that said thing. What just happened? He will notice his hypocrisy.

He will protect you. He will want to be your friend if you’re kind back to him. He’s a curious guy. He’ll stick to your side and listen to what you have to say. That doesn’t mean he’ll always listen if you tell him to do something– he is the type to share his own opinions, straight up. If you’re dishonorable to him, he will oppose you.

He’s instinctive, and impulsive. Sometimes, he forgets the time and place, and just goes for it. His gut feeling helps him constantly.

He has a strong, caring heart.

Even though he’s got a strong heart, he does have his own fears, his own guilt. His own doubts, the resolutions that he can’t resolve. He needs that push, that light shove, to break him out of his shackles. He shouldn’t be left alone too long.

something your muse struggles with: Holding back/faltering his own strength in certain situations. Uncertainty. He’s also dense with a lot of things. Guilt.

your muse’s greatest strength: Giving others the push they need to move forward. His honesty.

history / background: As an Archiviste, he’s able to read memories. He’s the only one left of the Archiviste Clan. An elderly couple adopted him, and they watched over him for years, knowing that he’s a vampire. Though humans and vampires don’t get along, Noe sees both as equal. When both his grandparents died, he was mistaken as a human, and taken in.

That’s when his teacher took him in as a disciple.

He became friends with his teacher’s two youngest grandchildren. Louis and Dominique were his childhood friends. They taught him things he didn’t really know, and sometimes he’d be called strange for his personality. Dominique would be with her parents a lot, but Louis stayed with Noe and his teacher often. Noe would hangout with Louis much as he could, but over time, Louis grew distant.

Noe found out that Louis stayed behind due to an “illness”. This illness later turned out to be because of the fact he’s a curse bearer, and Louis knew he didn’t have long to live. He kept making stakes for Noe to find later on. Louis ended up dying, right in front of Noe, and Noe has a tremendous amount of guilt for not saving another child from being killed due to a curse.

Later on, as he grows older, his teacher told him to search for The Book of Vanitas. That’s where, on the way to Paris on the airship, he finds Vanitas himself.

His teacher didn’t tell him to steal the book or destroy it, just to research and find out much as he can about it. Now, Noe has made it his goal to travel with Vanitas wherever he goes, no matter how irritating that might be for the other. He will not go against his teacher’s words.

He helps Vanitas free curse-bearers and gain their True Name’s, while trying to figure out the secrets of the book and Naenia, the one stealing True Names.

powers / abilities: 

World Formula Interference — He’s capable of interfering with the world around him by altering it. He’s learned to defy gravity, thanks to the help of his teacher. It’s only for a short period of time, as it makes him nauseous. He can also reinforce his body, but he has trouble extending far out. He’s also able to enhance his strength x10 more.

inherent abilities: 

Enhanced Physical Abilities — The World Formula also helps with this in some way, but he’s got extra strength, speed, and endurance as a vampire. 

Memory Reading — The ability to, once he drinks someone’s blood, he’s capable of looking into someone’s memories. It depends on how strong the person is, but he’s able to look through the cracks of certain memories, or even something he might want to look for. Otherwise, without prompted, it’s a series of emotions of a memory hitting him all at once. It will be stretched out and nonsensical.

items / weapons: 

Murr’s Carrier — A cute lil cat carrier he has for Murr. It’s pretty fancy, he spoils this cat.

starting ability: oh man he has so few things to give back… none if that’s ok!!

starting item: none for now!

extra: 

> for the time being i’m keeping murr out until we get further canon info… for now he’ll miss murr.

> he’s 6’1 why is this man so tall.

> he’s born sept 28th! A libra.

> don’t put him in the kitchen please.

> he also can’t sew.

> and he can’t clean either so sorry to his roommates.

> he sleeps weirdly and always needs to hug something or someone nearby.

> sometimes he calls himself Gilbert, if he isn’t sure if the person he’s around trusts vampires. But for my own sanity, I’m not doing this in the chats nksdfnskfnksjfa.

> He can read emotions well.

Hello! Thank you for the ask! ^^

favourite episode/etc: ch 31

otp: Lovecraft x Sleep

#asks #ask meme #anon #bsd lovecraft #hmph he didn't play nice with Q #and I'm upset over this #but I relate to him alot xD #thank you for the asks again!

[nolongercorrupted]

...what’s the point of blocking me if you’re still gonna reply to one of my posts? but anyway yeah it’s true that I haven’t read the bsd manga in its entirety but I have read ch 11 + ch 31 cuz obvious reasons and ur right! the manga does display character dynamics better - I mean the anime didn’t even adapt dazai referring to chuuya as ‘partner’ or him laughing at chuuya’s second chance! it only served to make me love them more :)

and as for the author...like no one if fooling anyone...the chances of whether skk will ever become officially canon is bsd is obviously nonexistent - I mean you even mentioned the irl gay authors but...what does that have to do w anything? 

like do you think ppl should only ship characters based off of how likely they are to be together in canon??? where’s the fun in that lol 

at the end of the day tho, i still get good content from bones for my ship 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

#you actually think I believe kafka will ever make them canon? #i wish lol #they're definitely teasing us #but I still get good content so #whos the real winner here #bungou stray dogs #skk #soukoku #dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya

[akutagawaprize]

helloo~ i just finished watching the anime which made me ajdsbsidb and i wanted to read the manga. but im a bit confused, is the 'wan!' is also the light novel series? and where should i also start reading?

Hello! Glad you enjoyed the anime~! Hope this quick list will help:

Chapters 1-37 (EGS)

Chapters 38-Current (DazaiScans)

Vol 1 & Vol 2 (YenPress)

LN1: Dazai Osamu’s Entrance Exam(Episodes 6-7); Illustrations

LN2: Dazai Osamu and the Dark Era (Episodes 13-16); Illustrations

LN3: The Untold Story of the Founding of the Detective Agency (Chapter 1 here); Summary; Illustrations

LN4: 55 Minutes; Summary of 1st Half; Illustrations

Bungou Stray Dogs Gaiden: Ayatsuji Yukito VS Kyougoku Natsuhiko; CM

Bungou Stray Dog Wan! (Spin-off featuring the BSD characters drawn in SD/chibi form, updated every Thusday, 24:00H JST.); Some translations compiled here and here.

Bungou Stray Dogs Ep 25 (OVA): “Moving Ahead Alone” (Ch 40) - To be released 2017 Aug 31; CM

Bungou Stray Dogs Movie (Upcoming) - Theatrical release TBA

To clarify, BSD Wan! is just a spin-off that has nothing to do with the canon timeline. One could argue that the anime’s timeline also slightly diverges from the manga/light novels when they moved LN1 to the current timeline though.

And to give an idea of the general timeline in case you’re wondering: LN3 (8 yrs prior) - > LN2 (4 yrs prior) -> LN1 (2 yrs prior)  -> Gaiden (Bet 1-2 yrs prior) -> CH 1-37 ->  LN4 (Set some time bet CH 37-46) -> CH 38 -Present  arc

Wajah mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD nampak ceria. Seceria hari pagi itu mahahari menyinari Bumi Serpong. Pada pagi itu, mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD akan praktik teknik membuat cake. Sebelum materi praktik di dapur kelas pastry, mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD diberi arahan oleh dosen Chef Irawaty Widjaja di kelas teori. Mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD nampak semangat dan memperhatikan penjelasan Chef Ira–sapaan akrabnya.

Sekitar setengah jam pengarahan teori kelar, mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD siap praktik di dapur pastry dengan seragam lengkapnya. Hari itu mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD praktik mengolah Pengolahan cake. Teknik Pengolahan cake ditempuh selama 1 minggu tatap muka. Selama 1 minggu, mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD mendalami pembuatan dasar cake dengan teknik yang diarahkan oleh dosen secara langsung.

Pada pertemuan itu, mahasiswa Tristar dibagi berbagai kelompok. Kelompok pertama dengan menu Tart Cheese diracik oleh Ammar Ansoer Syamsuri, Hendri Jerico dan Rabuka Bismi. Pada meja kedua ada Thasya Grashelia Engkeng dan Felicya dengan menu Rainbow Chiffon Cake.

menu-menu tersebut diracik dan dipelajari oleh mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD. Dosen  kelahiran Kota Pahlawan, Surabaya memberi penjelasan dan mengarahkan mahasiswa dengan telaten dan sabar.

  Chef Ira mengatakan teori yang saya sampaikan kepada mahasiswa tentang teknik pembuatan cake, pertama-tama, saya arahkan untuk mengetahui bahan dasarnya dahulu. Setelah mengenali bahan dasarnya, mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD akan mengetahui karakter dari bahan yang digunakan,” ungkapnya selepas memberi arahan kepada mahasiswa.

Mahasiswa Tristar Institute BSD, menurut Chef Ira sampai sekarang ini tidak mengalami kegagalan dalam membuat kue. Berarti mahasiswa Tristar ini banyak yang menguasai materi cake, karena materi teori sama materi praktik lebih banyak praktiknya. Intensitas itulah yang mempengaruhi kemampuan dan keberhasilan mahasiswa.”

WIP GAME!

Got tagged by @wishfulstargazer a couple days ago (thank you so much for tagging me 💕) but had forgotten it in my drafts and only remembered when I was taking a look through them today!

(Rules: Post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.)

It was also said that I could tag as many people as I have wips, but... *glances at my WIP's* yeah, uhhh, I don't think I can tag that many people 😅

I have two folders for my WIP's- the first is literally names 'Yuna's WIP's' while the other is 'Yuna's Treats'.

The first is pretty much the fics that I am currently working on, am posting online along with writing challenges, while the other folder has fic ideas that i really want to get to and motivate me just by thinking about how I will be able to work on them if I finish what I'm currently working on.
