Sometimes a family is a human mage who will die tomorrow, an ancient star elf ghost imprisoned for terrible crimes, and their maybe biological bug child created to be a sacrifice <3

I love that Adrien takes everything Marinette says at face value. Like, Marinette told me that she thought I was a statue and proceeded to give a grand declaration of love and try to kiss me, but she says she doesn't have any feelings for me so clearly she loves someone else 😔😢🥺. Or, Marinette just happened to be in Shanghai visiting her family at the exact moment that I took a trip there, what a coincidence ☺️👉👈. Or even, Alya told me that Marinette said she wasn't here right now and she's telling me she's really fast at going back and forth, what an amazing talent 😊❤️💕. And of course, Oh, Marinette needs to go shave her socks now? Sounds like a great way to spend her time, what a wonderful fact to learn about my beloved friend girlfriend 🥰😄❤️😍

#honestly at this point I’m expecting a scenario #where adrien asks Marinette if she’s ladybug #and she just says ‘no’ #meanwhile tikki is very slowly eating a cookie in the background #and adrien just says ‘okay then sorry for bothering you’ 😊 #i just love them okay #miraculous ladybug #adrien agreste #marinette dupain cheng #adrinette #ml #mlb #ml season 5 #ml spoilers #miraculous #ml leak free #miraculeakless

It is so fucking funny that Fyodor was like 'but you got shot in the head?' and Dazai was like oh, that? That's every Tuesday night for Chuuya and I, we fake kill each other for fun all the time lol

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...

thinking about yesterday's episode and imagine being a Meursault guard that just got taken out by Chuuya and the last thing you hear is "hEEEH" ...idk i feel like i'd sit back up from sheer confusion

prison guard, inner monologuing as they're approaching death: goodbye...my family....my friends...death awaits me bc of the....gravity manipulator...Nakahara Chuu— Chuuya: hEEEH prison guard: prison guard, looking back up: what the fuck was that

Meursault security hearing Chuuya like damn you caught me off guard in more ways than one (pun intended)

#enas.txt #bungou stray dogs #nakahara chuuya #bsd season 5 #bsd s5 spoilers #idk what sound i was expecting to come out of Chuuya's mouth but it fr wasn't whatever that was #i'm ngl i chuckled a little #if i was a guard at death's door i'd be like now wait a damn minute #what just happened

i was completely normal about jjk season 2 ep 5 :]

(i’ve been waiting 3 years for this very specific chapter of the manga to be animated and now i’m ill)

#it’s been over an hour since i finished the ep i’m still recovering HAHA #ep 5 hit most of my expectations URGHH <\3 #i love backstory arcs/episodes so so much #jjk season 2 spoilers #jjk spoilers #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #doodles #geto suguru #long tags

it just hit me that this is the first season finale that doesn't end on a major cliffhanger

season 1 had the van helsing blood reveal

season 2 had the whole guillermo killing a theater of vampires thing plus revealing to the vamps that he was a slayer

season 3... was season 3 (what WASN'T a cliffhanger!?!?)

and season 4 had memo going to derek to make him a vampire

but the last moment of season 5 where laszlo and guillermo bringing derek back from the dead and that wasn't a cliffhanger like AT ALL

doesn't mean that the finale leaves us with no expectations or things to look forward to next season (guillermo no longer wishes to be a vampire and his relationship with the vamps have indeed changed for the better so it'll be interesting to see where that goes)

it just didn't give us a major what's going to happen note to end things on

and you know what? hot take: GOOD

to me it's a breath of fresh air after two months of chaos

plus idk if my heart could have handled a major cliffhanger

#I think this is why the season finale left me speechless #it was such a subversion I genuinely needed a moment to think and prosses everything #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #wwdits spoilers #wwdits season 5 #wwdits season 5 spoilers #wwdits s5 #wwdits s5 spoilers #throwing up my thoughts onto tumblr again #you walk in expecting your heart to be ripped out by the way things end #only for them to rip it out in the beginning #and once you get to the end they like kinda put it back in and offer you a juice box or something
