helloooooo :)) sliding in with a generic marvel-esque vaguely criminal organization landoscar au with background lestappen because I am nothing if not predictable
Oscar is their resident poison specialist (he makes new poisons, tests them, makes antidotes, etc. for the organization to use). His preference is plant based poisons, like belladonna and nightshade, because he graduated college with a botany degree and therefore has a lot of knowledge about them that he can put for use. He spends most of his time in his greenhouse full of toxic, beautiful plants that he tends too very, very carefully. They’re his babies.
There’s a whole backstory involved with how he came to join the organization that involves him accidentally killing his college roommate
Lando is a former gymnast turned espionage guy who also does theft on the side for funsies that works for the organization. Like vaguely cat woman-y? Obviously he’s super flexible and super good at his job because duh.
His favorite hobby is breaking into Oscar’s greenhouse via the windows and watching him work. Oscar is super fascinating to him, and he’s enamored with how absolutely brilliant this quiet, stoic boy, with maybe five facial expressions total is.
Lando sits there and listens to Oscar ramble about his complex science things. He doesn’t understand most of it ngl, but he loves the way Oscar’s face lights up when he goes on a long tangent about the chemical properties of cyanide and why it’s superior to arsenic.
Also sometimes lando brings Oscar random pretty shiny things that he stole that he thinks Oscar might like and leaves them on his desk, kind of like a crow. Oscar keeps all of them in a box under his bed. He looks at them when he feels down (he doesn’t tell lando that)
Oscar is equally obsessed with lando but this is already wayyyyyy too long so 😭 you just gotta trust me on this one
And then eventually, the rest of the people in the organization pick up on the growing landoscar feelings situation. Alex and George give lando a bunch of (loving and caring) grief about it. A bet between them is born. “$50 lando is too chicken to confess to Oscar by the end of the month”
Yada yada time skip a week or so and lando and Oscar FINALLY do something about the tension between them one night late in Oscar’s greenhouse, lando freshly back from a mission. Boom they kiss and then lando, being the idiot that he is, as soon as they pull apart, goes “lol George and Alex owe me $50 now”
Cue misunderstanding trope. “Oh you only kissed me for a bet?? You don’t actually have feelings for me 😔 I knew it was too good to be true.”
Lando realizes his mistake but Oscar’s already out the door, disappeared into the night.
And then Oscar gets kidnapped by the enemy 🤗 because he’d normally be more aware and vigilant and stuff but his emotions are really going through it so. The ransom note comes through the next day.
Gonna leave it on that because otherwise I will spiral into a full blown fic when I already have too many wips to finish
I'M SO????? HOW DID U JUST RANDOMLY SLIDE IN HERE WITH THIS???? i am so obsessed with these details my god the POISON? CATMAN ESPIONAGEGYMNAST? christ. and then lando leaving him little gifts like a crow. OSCAR ACCIDENTALLY K-WORDING HIS ROOMMATE (and possible guilt)?? the classic misunderstanding thingy "but oscar gets kidnapped" leading to a climactic rescue oh oh oh this is the stuff of dreams.
idk what to do with myself exactly cus this is so gorgeous. anyway have a moodboard for your efforts cus like my goodness this was lovely to read.

Marvel Multiverse TTRPG
The Marvel Multiverse TTRPG is genuinely well designed and I am confounded.
Previously, I'd read Marvel Universe TTRPG (which is a completely different system written in the 90s) and was caught off guard by how clever *it* was. In it, you assign power gems almost like a worker placement minigame to pass checks, prioritizing effect vs safety.
Marvel Multiverse TTRPG is a totally different system by a totally different team, and now I have to confront the reality that there are at least two very elegantly designed and unfortunately Disney-owned Marvel TTRPGs.
So, what makes Marvel Multiverse work? Well, it starts with a bad idea.
Marvel Multiverse runs on a d616. This sounds *awful* but it's the best bit of tech I've ever seen in a game with this high a budget.
First, that 616 is actually 3d6. You roll and add up, and mathematically this gives you more average outputs. Also the "1" crits on a 1, and its 1s count as 6s. So it's basically an extra strong d6 that hands you crits 1/6th of the time.
If you crit but miss the target number you botch instead, but Multiverse's advantage/disadvantage system gives you the option of rerolling individual d6s. So you can try to hit the TN, or you can crit fish.
Also, that "1" tells you your attack damage. It's used as part of a formula that also factors in your stats and optionally weapon. No need for a second damage roll. You get a really high density of information out of a single pass through the 3d6.
Now, Marvel Multiverse is still a very traditional style TTRPG. You can hop from DnD to this and barely notice the change in scenery---it's just the dice are cleaner, faster, and more predictable. You're still moving around in 5 foot squares, using your suite of character-specific powers, swinging at and sometimes missing a rat.
But those rat-misses happen a fair bit less, and your special abilities all come from one big mana bar called Focus, and you can intentionally spam your powers until it puts you in a stupor.
Basically, I'd recommend this system to three people:
-It's Marvel Give Me Marvel
-I Want To Play Modern AU Superhero DnD
-Fellow Sleek Core Mechanics Enthusiast, This Core Mechanic Is Sleek AF
If those people are you, you may want to give it a look.

Hello um so I am new to this whole tumblr thing so I just kinda realized that people can actually take requests. If its not too much to ask, can you make a yuumori fanfic with William as an alpha first meets omega reader (gender neutral) who is very oblivious where William sees reader at first sight? Like how would he react?
Hihi! Welcome to Tumblr and my acc xD and ofc! I love when people take request from me. I hope this is what you're expecting. Enjoy!
_________________________________
William Moriarty with a Omega S/O
Tumblr media
Warning: Slight suggestive
Note: ☺️🙏🏻 Gbu and this is the first time I write alpha & omega thing sooo idk what I'm doing is right or wrong 😭 but pls be understanding!
_________________________
At first William would be surprised of how oblivious you're.
The first time he met eyes with you, his facial expression change. There's this scent of yours that caught his attention. Apparently he also noticed couple of men are looking towards you with rather... Lustful.
William would stood up and walk towards you with a gentle smile, asking for the two of you could have a moment.
You didn't understand the situation what's going on, William hold your hand tight as he whisper.
"You're scent is strong, my lady. It's not safe to wonder on your own in this state."
Your face went red as you try to maintain not to burn infront of him in embarrassment like-
HOW CAN YOU BE THIS CLUELESS, you didn't think your heat will come around this month and you have predict it will come rather late but it seems it moves rather sooner then usual.
You could also tell many men behind William keeps looking at you and you didn't want to make a scene and just went along with William to help you on this one.
After you both went inside of his carriage you were embarrassed and just bow your head in apology to made someone go all the trouble on saving you.
You'll only received a gentle smile from him and as he shook his head.
"There's no need to apologies. Either way I can't leave you there in your state. Most men were almost to grab you if you're not careful."
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot!"
"please don't be to hard on yourself, we all learn from mistakes."
You're lucky it's William would be there to help u, not to mention he even held himself to give in from his sexual desires on railing you. It wouldn't be proper of him in either way.
After taking you home, William himself decide it's best if he went home instead wonder around with a bulge around his pants, he even hide that from you, huh?
Once he arrive home Louis would greet him but soon notice the situation.
"brother, do you want me to make you a tea to relax? "
"yes... That would be lovely." William replied walking towards his office.

simon riley x waitstaff! reader : getting coffee
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
okie dokie, the second part of the waitstaff au bc i like it when authors have a reoccurring au and i write what i like to see from others. i am also open to exploring other peoples au’s and discussing ideas. i don’t like the idea of having requests because i don’t wanna put that pressure on myself but i want to work with people and explore lots of ideas i see from people. tl;dr, send me ur ideas but not requests.
part one, part two
ghost would take the longest to ask you out, like he is a confident man (have u heard his lines???) and isn’t afraid of confrontation or anything, just doesn’t like the idea of potentially ruining anything you guys have going because he has ~feelings~
would make sure to do it either after your shift or when it is very quiet and you are the only floor staff on, wants it to be the two of you in an open and casual environment
your comfort and feelings are of the utmost importance to him always thinking: “are they okay with his?” “i’m not over stepping?” “this is okay, right?”
personally strikes me as someone who needs verbal confirmation of others feelings.
he can read a battlefield no problems, can predict movements from a mile away. your feelings??? nah, dude has no clue and needs verbal reassurance, not that he would ask for it but is amazed when you figure that out yourself. ‘fuck they are literally made for me.’
i don’t think he could actually say the words ‘let’s go on a date’, strikes me as a ‘when r u free? Let’s do this…’ kinda person. 
would have the whole thing planned out though, has prepared himself for every possible response and outcome. thinks of it as a sort of mission. 
i like the idea that he did get advice from price (daddy)
it wouldn’t be the actual task of asking you out that freaks him a bit, but the uncontrollable factor of your response. 
he can’t plan for that so is anxious about what you might say or think, hence the over planning and the private obsessiveness.
BUT YOU SAID YES, “yeah, I finish my shift at 4, we could get a coffee or snack if you want?” YES WE CAN GET COFFEE “sounds good.” SOUNDS AMAZING.
waits out the front of the restaurant for you, has been waiting since 3.
figuring out who he should wait, wants to appear casual but wants you to think he is cool. leaning on his bike? no, a bit asshole-y. casually smoking? no, you might not like that. just standing? why does it fuckin’ matter?
oh shit here they come, fuck they look so nice in the sun light. 
you smile that sweet smile of yours to him and his knees buckle as he turns to face you fully. he grips the door jam so he doesn’t fall in front of you. He’s already fucked it. 
“where were you thinking?” you asked him, completely ignoring his near face plant into the pavement.
he directs you over to a close by coffee shop, you’ve been there before so wave politely to the staff and point to the best seats in the shop. he nods and follows to the back, a small semi-private nook at the back.
he thinks it went well, he tried to avoid the topic of his work and asked you as many questions as possible. but it wasn’t to the point you were talking the entire time.
he could feel himself blushing under his mask, the slightly larger surgical style mask reaching just under his eyes. He was thankful you didn’t push him to take the mask off or tell you his real name. 
you understood that military people have a lot they can’t share, particularly someone in SAS. those folks are intense and have extremely private lives. 
one coffee turned into two, a few biscuits turned into soup for dinner. then into being asked to leave by the owner. 
“oh sorry matt. thanks for putting up with us.” you laughed and began to pack up to leave. ghost, ever the gentleman, paid and you thanked him. 
“next one is on me.” NEXT ONE?! dudes heart near leaves his body and race through the street at illegal speeds. 
he nods and quickly walks out of the shop to hide his little shiver of excitement. you ask him about his bike (i fuckin love motorcycle men omg), something he is more than happy to chat about and explain to you. 
you patiently listen for about ten minutes before he notices he hasn’t taken a breath since he started. “sorry, I’m keeping you.”, you quickly shake your head
“i like hearing you talk, mostly about things you are passionate about.” omg he lov- likes you so much. 
he nods and looks away, hiding the massive blush that comes over his nose and cheeks. 
“i’ll see you next week ghost.” you smile and wave goodbye.
he waves back and whispers to himself “for the rest of my life darling.”
okay this is kind of shit but i have written this in one sitting in the evening. feedback is always welcome as well, be respectful though. i will probably come back and edit this but enjoy :)

in flames [C.L.] | Prologue
Hello and welcome to my very first content post on this page! I couldn't be more excited. Join me on this journey of F1 drama (and help me bridge the gap until the 2024 season starts) and let's see where this will go?
Here's the link to my Masterlist, in case you want to get in touch with more of my work.
Have fun!
story: in flames driver: Charles Leclerc [C.L.] trope: #haterstolovers summary: Always working three times as hard as everyone else, Emma does not intend to blow her chance of driving among the best of the best in her very first season in Formula 1. Concentrating on first and foremost getting ahead of her brother, she does not even notice that there are some people even in her own team who think she does not deserve this spot and would rather see her fail. And one driver in particular seems to have a need of always reminding her of that.
────ʚ P R O L O G U E ɞ────
There is something in the air, and for once, it is not only the smell of gasoline or burnt tires. An almost electrifying feeling spreads, one that permeates even up to the stands. My heart is pounding in my throat, my eyes wide open, and my hands have a firm grip on the steering wheel, as if it would slip away if I relaxed for even a second.
It is the last race of the season, and although I have a clear view on the first corner with not a single other car in front of me, I am more tense than in any other race. Whether it's because it is my final race in F2, and I am emotionally charged anyway, or whether I am more apprehensive about what to expect next year, I cannot say for sure. However, I can feel that expectations are already higher than they have ever been.
The first red light goes on. Then the second. Three, four, five. And then they all go out. My foot presses down on the gas pedal as if of its own accord, while my hands clutch the steering wheel even tighter. I breathe faster, my eyes fixed on the first bend. I can feel the engine beneath me, every single stone on the asphalt, how my car leans into the bend, skids over the curbs, and how I am pressed into the seat as soon as I brake. A smile spreads across my lips.
At this very moment, I'm proud of myself. Proud of all the countless hours in the simulator, on the track, and my entire life devoted to just one thing: racing. Whether it's racing cars, karts, or even supermarket trolleys – I take pride in it all. I'm proud of how my whole team rallied after a horrendous season start with "DNF" next to my name like it belonged to me. Despite numerous mistakes with tire choices, pit stops, understeering, oversteering, or just misjudging when to brake, giving up was never an option.
I can't recall my first day in a racing car, but my first win is etched in my memory. It was the year my brother switched karting teams, and since he was predicted to be the next rising star, they probably thought getting me that seat would boost their popularity even more. It wasn't until the second year in karting that I got the chance to stand on that small podium and finally win a race.
Whenever I think about that day, I see my mom cheering me on and my dad coming to me afterward, checking statistics, racing strategies, analyzing the track line, and telling me that I still wasn't giving it my all compared to my brother. But at the same time, my skin remembers the tingling feeling when I got to hold the trophy in my hands, which I could barely wrap my hands around. My cheeks were burning from all the smiling, and I probably had tons of bruises on my shoulders from people patting me on the back, telling me how much I deserved this. That trophy still sits on the top shelf in my bedroom, and every time I look at it, a wave of gratitude and happiness washes over me instantly.
“Emma, are you listening to me? Box, box.” The voice coming from my earplugs drowns out the noise from the motor. My race engineer, Enzo, has been with me for quite some time, and somehow, I cannot shake the feeling that I will do a lot worse without him next season. I will hold him accountable if my only chance in Formula 1 goes to waste because he did not want to “be part of seeing you crashing under the pressure of people who do not know you.”
“Copy.” I navigate the car into the pit lane, where I can already see a team of blue mechanics with “DAMS” written on their backs waiting in their positions for me to come in.
The car screeches to a halt as I position myself between the white marks on the floor. The jackman lifts the car, allowing the tire changers to swoop in and perform what they have been training for in countless hours of practice and all the races during the season. Metallic clatter fills the air. Relying on such an iconic and well-oiled machine, a team, and their actions which are completely out of my control, while I am sitting here not being able to interfere has been the hardest part to accept. To be honest, that took a lot of time and work on myself, being able to trust these people every week, not blaming them or myself for any mistakes that happened. For two years they have been nothing short of supportive, understanding, and calm, kind of like a mountain in a storm. A wave of emotions hits me.
As the last nut tightens, the jack is released. I feel the jolt and with a nod from the pit crew chief, I am out of the box again. My car rejoins the track.
“That is Vesti in front of you, 13.9 seconds for P2.”
“Copy.”
The hum of the engine, the wind against my visor, the grip beneath me, thanks to the fresh rubber – most of the time, this is the moment where I appreciate where I am. For the first rounds of a race, anxiety and adrenaline are overruling every other thought, every other feeling, every other impulse. But after the first pit stop, the weight falls off, the clouds in your mind clear, and you can fully focus on what is ahead. The car starts to feel like I am an inseparable part of it. A sense of purpose and determination burn bright in my heart. I want to win this race – not for me, but for the team.
Frederik Vesti has been one kind of a competitor this season. The Dane coming from F3, where he got crowned champion, was nothing short of passion for racing. The battles with him were ones to be remembered, with one of us always having to retire from the race. Our respective teams were not very fond of our rivalry, but I saw some mechanics taking bets on the outcomes of these battles for the last few races.
I gain ground with every corner, chicane, twist, and turn.
“Emma, you’re closing in. The gap is down to six seconds. Push, push!” Enzo’s voice crackles over the team radio. I nod, until I realize that he cannot see me.
“Alrighty, let’s do this.” My grip tightens, the engine roars in response to my foot applying even more pressure on the accelerator pedal. It feels like eternity until I am somewhat close to a position I can overtake from.
“Fastest sector 1 and sector 2. Gap to P2 is two seconds.” Adrenaline along with anticipation is pumping through my veins. Approaching the straight, cheers blend in with the sound of the engine and the voice in my headphones coming from the team radio. With each passing meter, I am getting closer to Dennis in front of me, with the vibrations of the chassis reminding me of the power, elegance, and trust that lie within my hands.
I dart out behind him, unleashing the full power of the car. It is risky, but my gut tells me that this will work out just fine. My eyes focus on the next corner, trying to give my senses a feeling of where I would have to brake at the latest to not mess this opportunity up. The crowd cheers. I get ahead, timing my move perfectly, hitting the brakes like never before, giving it my all. As I move into the corner with my opponent being stuck behind me, I try to block any gaps he could use for a counterattack. And then there it is.
“YOU DID IT! P2! LET’S BRING THIS HOME!”
In this moment I can feel Vesti’s acknowledgment. Many of the men I met on my path were belittling and smiling at me whenever I voiced my dreams of becoming a Formula 1 world champion, but I met so many more who told me that they have never seen such potential within a young woman. And every time I won a race, made it on the podium, or succeeded in a maneuver, I knew that I should rather listen to the second group.
The last lap unfolds. My emotions are running wild, and I can already feel some tears coming. “Guys, I just wanted…”
“Not now, Emma. Bring it home. This is yours.” Enzo’s voice is not as strong as before, maybe because he as well is a bit emotional.
Suddenly the whole world comes to a halt. The last straight lies ahead of me, but all I can think about is how I am going to miss my team. I think about how everything will change from now on, how all these people will continue with their life, and the next driver that comes along, whereas for me, they made such a big difference in my journey.
A fleeting moment of victory evokes as the checkered flag is waved as I cross the finish line.
“P2, Emma, P2. Congrats, you did an amazing job! What an ending to this season. Thank you, thank you so much.”
“Great job, Emma! I hope you will show some of those F1 monsters where you came from!”
“YES, WE DID IT! P2, what a result!”
Tears are dwelling up. I take a few breaths in to calm my nervous system, but it does not seem to work. “Thank you so much, every single one of you. I don’t know who I would be without you. I’m going to miss you so much, guys!”
The crowd roars, celebrating Théo Pourchaire’s win. There are congratulations over the team radio, people waving flags of different drivers in their respective team colors.
As the victory lap ends and the car comes to a halt in front of the banner with a big “2” on it, I need a few seconds to sort myself out. I sit and breathe. This is the last time getting out of this car, the last time celebrating with this team, the last time hearing applause, and cheers. After that, it is back to square one with an even more demanding car. The next season starts as soon as I step out of this car. Shaking hands with my future race engineers and team principal, and talking about how soon I can fly out to get some hours in the simulator done. Reaching out to my personal trainer to redo my schedule, training not only 6 times a week but rather twice every day. Going for a mental coach. And on top of that, getting back in touch with my family. The weight of the moment settles in.
I unbuckle the safety harness, take out the steering wheel, and lift myself off the seat. I stand on my car, having a look around. Then I jump off and run towards pit crew, the mechanics, and engineers who all gathered behind the gates. They embrace me in a tight hug, patting my shoulders and my head that is still covered in the helmet. No one can see the tears of joy that are soaked up by the material inside the helmet.
As I make my way back, I take my helmet off. I am sure the mixture of sweat and tears let my face burn in a bright red color, but the smile on my face should let the people know that I am filled with gratitude.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see my father standing there. I smile at him, but I get nothing in return. Time seems to stand still; I do not even hear how the third-placed driver is being interviewed. I furrow my eyebrows. Why is he not smiling? He shakes his head, his eyes dropping to the ground. Then he turns around and walks away.
And suddenly I remember why my father was not smiling. It is because I did finish second. I did not win the race. And as he used to say: Being the first loser is still being a loser. And a tiny voice in my head tells me, what I am trying to shove away during races: Your brother could have done better.
“And now, on to the second place, the surprise of the season: Emma Verstappen!”

I just hope Jkk going forward take a more realistic approach about Jikook. Esp JK's lives and the scenarios surrounding the timing in which JM leaves the country. Does there seem to be a pattern now, 3rd times a charm, not to mention all the meat touring when JM was gone previous times or posting Ramen out of the blue? I would say yes, its enough to say its an established pattern, but what happens when JM leaves next time and JK doesn't go live or the next time and so on? We will be right back to insecure Jkk screaming "JK isn't going live when JM left, did they break up" scenarios. Frankly, I'm exhausted with insecure Jkk more then antis. Taennie going public, does not automatically mean Jikook are real or going to be more public as well. I can admit this & I wish others would as well. If anything the whole Taennie situation taught me, not everything is as it seems and you can get slapped in the face hard that your ship is not real & that you can and will still delude yourself and choose to die on that hill, like some are doing right now, cause they made it their whole personality and life to ship a duo based on lies and manipulations & their so called gut feeling. I think Jikook have had enough proof, not just verbally from each other, but also physical proof that alludes to more then platonic friends. I personally think Jikook are in a romantic relationship. I also think Jikook love each other. however, I am not gonna allow myself to sink my teeth into this pattern of JK going live and JM leaving, in case JK catches on and changes his routine or it just doesn't happen again. We are going to be fighting Antis and insecure Jkk all over again, if it happens. We are confident and we know Jikook are in love, we just need to stay grounded and realistic and aware that we don't fully know or things can change. Sorry for the mini rant, I just see people getting carried away lately.
On the contrary, I encourage everyone to get carried away as much as they want to.

I won't tire of saying this but Jikook are real because they are real. Not because Taennie is real. Not because of any other factor. They just are. Even if JK changes things up, it doesn't erase the fact that there has been an undeniable pattern so far. And it didn't just start the other day. It started with the meat tours like u mentioned whenever Jimin was busy.
Fuck tkkrs, fuck antis and fuck insecure jkkrs/ the wishy-washys with something sandpapery. I don't give a flying fuck what they have to say. If JK changes it up, then he changes it up. So what? We will just watch out for the next pattern. Or the next sus thing. It is what it is.
But for now, I'm gonna be celebrating the fact that our boy is predictable AF and its simply adorable.
Tumblr media
If anything the whole Taennie situation taught me, not everything is as it seems and you can get slapped in the face hard, that your ship is not real.
Tumblr media
Jikook is real. I know in my hearts of hearts. This is a fact. I don't need to pump no breaks, I don't need to be careful. I know what I know. I've seen what I've seen. I am extremely confident in their relationship. They ain't never gonna prove me wrong coz there's nothing to disprove. I've said this a million times, if Jikook aren't Jikook anymore, it will be because of a break up. And everything will change between them. I don't even think they will be able to remain friends or stay in the same band. If they break up it will ruin everything. Because they love eo too damn much. They are way too interdependent. If they break up we will know. Believe me when I tell you, we will know. But understand, it will be a break up. It won't be because they were never real.
You can rant whenever u want to anon. But I got carried away a long time ago and I have 0 regrets. I feel very safe and confident in my support for Jikook. Caution was thrown to the wind a long time ago and I've never looked back. These 2 are in a relationship and are going very strong; Doing very well. I love their love and I've got their back
Tumblr media
Anyway, back to our regular programming:

fic writer meme
thank u @fruitdaze @uhuraisgay @cairoscene @englishsub for tagging me!
How many works do you have on Ao3?
44 currently! double 4s? during MY lunar new year? i gotta change that up quick
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
315,042 words
3. What fandoms do you write for?
my most written-for fandom is mdzs, but i don't really write for it anymore...if you look at my ao3 profile u can kinda tell i'm a sporadic one-and-done type when it comes to fic hehe no one can predict where i'll go next. my latest fandom is jujutsu kaisen!
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
so you've been robbed by a musuem
the stone-filled sea
the family-dodging bathroom-dwellers association
and his wanting grows teeth
diving blind
it's like a wangxian sweep except for the last sambucky lol
5. Do you respond to comments?
i am trying to get better at that! sometimes i don't have the energy to go through and respond to every single one but trust me when i say that seeing the wonderful comments people leave truly makes my day
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
tbh i don't think i've ever written straight-up angsty endings (or at least the way i see straight up angst). every 'bad' ending has a ray of hope in it, or at least an acceptance that like...yes, this is the way it was meant to be, and to reject the outcome would be to reject everything that came before it. sometimes things were meant to go to shit. there was no other way to go. we were doomed but at least we loved each other. i will suffer but at least i can remember you. so on so forth.
with all that said, it's a toss up between the longest journey (di feijing & lei chun), or all things in pain (wen ning character study). 'angsty' endings, if only in the way i described above
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
a lot of my happy endings aren't super-sweet happy endings per se, but rather a promise or hope that things will get better. idk what that says about me lol like maybe i have more interest in the "how to become happy" part than the actual happiness itself...? but ANYWAY i'd say the sappiest ending is i have is uhhhh feel like a brand new person (msr take edibles together) because 1) their mutual attraction is finally acknowledged 2) they're making out 3) they're high as balls. what's better than this
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not any time recently! i've rarely had negative comments before and all of them have been of such a ridiculous nature that my only response was like "lmfao ok"
9. Do you write smut?
nope! not yet, at least. maybe some time in the future i'll feel like it
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have written?
haven't written any, don't really read them either! i keep my blorbos locked up in their separate cages. siloed.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
yes! kind of. if this counts, a couple years ago someone on wattpad stole over 100 wangxian fics (including mine) from ao3 and reposted them onto their own account without credit. we got their account taken down tho so all is well...but this is why i say in my ao3 profile that i do not allow reposts. please tell me if u ever see my work reposted anywhere........
i've also come across a fic in a diff fandom that was VERY clearly "inspired" by one of mine (lifting certain scenes and lines beat for beat) and gave no credit. so there's that as well.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! it's always an honor when someone wants to translate my work :)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
nope! my creative process is so erratic that i feel like i'd be a nightmare to co-write with, so this is probably for the better
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
this is a hard question to answer. i don't have an ultimate favorite that always stays at the top of the pile, cuz my interests change all the time! right now i'm really enjoying platonic yuuji & megumi & nobara & gojo. in terms of what i go to most often when i want a comfort re-read...finnpoe.
15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
omg. you want a DEEP CUT? i have a wip for a rarepair in an already sparse fandom...yeongshin/seobi from kingdom on netflix (the historical korean zombie drama). i LOOOOVE that show i comfort re-watch it all the time. i love their bonded-thru-trauma-frenemies healer/warrior dynamic and i have this wip going for yeongshin getting bitten and seobi developing a zombification-reversal cure through sheer willpower and spite alone........there's maybe 2k written and i was relying on a season renewal announcement to motivate me enough to get the rest of it out but uh. fellow kingdom warriors if you're out there. i think we may be losing this battle............kingdom season 3 announcement save me..............
16. What are your writing strengths?
as a haver-of-siblings, i think i do general family dynamics pretty well! someone has told me in the past that i am good at packing meaning into very few words. i also think i'm good at angsty emotional beats (i sure like writing them, at least)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
bro if there is any action scene in my work, writing it is like pulling teeth. what do you mean he's getting hit. what do you mean i have to think of an interesting way to describe punch #1 and punch #2 and punch #3. STOPPPPPPPP I CANT DO THIS.
in terms of technique i used to struggle with this thing where i NEED to perfect the writing i'm working on before i can move on. like i'd waste huge amounts of time rewriting a three sentence paragraph over and over and over again until it was perfect before i could move onto the next scene. i'm getting a lot better with that tho!
18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?
i've never done it myself, like, full on written-in-a-diff-lang dialogue, but i think it's cool as long as context clues/some form of translation is provided. and if proper research is done if the writer isn't a native speaker
19. First fandom you wrote for?
the man from uncle (2015). lol. napollya could have won in an alternate universe where armie h@mmer wasn't a piece of shit
20. Favorite fic you have written?
HOO. i gotta say it's my sambucky ghost fic the boy who cried ghost. it's by far my longest fic (even tho it isn't actually very long compared to others ive seen LOLLLL) and it took me AGES to write and ended up being quite personal!! part of the reason it took me so long to finish was bc i couldn't bear to write about sam struggling with grief/guilt when i was also going through something similar, so when i finally got around to writing the moment of catharsis i kinda felt like i was helping myself, too! which was a very interesting experience, and definitely served to lodge this fic in my heart forever and ever. it's not exactly popular but i'm proud of it :)

BL/QL Ask game : The Ugly, the Bad and the Worst
Alright, I was tagged in this game by @clara-maybe-ontheroad, so it's time to make some enemies.
Worst soundtrack / weirdest song choice in a BL
Tumblr media
I don’t really pay the most attention to this, I can’t recall anything that sticks out to me as particularly egregious even if it may be a tad odd. Weirdest song choice though is Jojo and Ninew letting First sing in Only Friends. I love the boy but we all have our flaws and his is being horrifically out of tune.
Most cringe-inducing line (cute)
“Then I am gay too,” Bee from Between Us. A show that I did actually enjoy despite many people grumbling. I hold that it’s cause I didn’t wait three years for it, and didn’t know Until We Meet Again existed when I started watching it. But regardless, Bee and Prince had like 5 minutes of screen time, max and they won my motherfucking heart.
Tumblr media
Most cringe-inducing line (actually bad)
Not a specific line, but literally any time that Nuea questions whether or not Hia Lian loves him in Cutie Pie 2 You. Bestie, you already agonized over that for far, far too long in Cutie Pie, by the time you ran out of the marriage proposal at your father in law’s birthday, I was already way past over the bullshit. And now you want to get back on the bullshit when you are planning your wedding? Come on…
Most stupid decision made by a character
Tumblr media
I agree with @bengiyo, Teh giving up his spot in school for Oh. Honestly, you know what, looking even further back the stupidest decision was Oh and Teh’s friends coming up to Teh AT FOUR O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING THE DAY HE WAS GOING TO GO COMMIT TO COLLEGE TO TELL HIM OH WAS GIVING UP. Y’all couldn’t have fucking waited like…one day? You know Teh is stupid motherfucker prone to grand gestures.
Worst plot line
“I’m going to kill your mother from third hand cigarette smoke and spend the last hour and a half of a genuinely otherwise beautifully crafted show making the world’s longest anti-smoking campaign” by New Siwaj in My Only 12%. What a way to ruin a show at the very last minute.
The most problematic show you've watched
Fish Upon the Sky, what in the racism, support of stalking, invasion of privacy, manipulation was that show?
A show people love but you find bad
Tumblr media
Enchante. I just hate Theo so goddamn much.
A show people find bad but you will defend
Also gonna agree with @bengiyo here and say Wedding Plan, I have seen so little conversation around that show since it aired and it was super adorable and very very outside of MAME’s typical taboos. Just fluff, lesbianism, and lavender marriages abound. But if you think La Pluie is bad, then I will fight you to an early grave.
A show that is just objectively bad but you enjoyed it
I wouldn’t say it is my favorite, but I didn’t mind Vice Versa, but maybe that’s cause I was paying attention to trying to predict the next episode’s colors and not to the plot?
A bad show that you kept watching because you were intrigued/fascinated
Tumblr media
Mine is the same as @waitmyturtles. It’s currently still airing, so it’s entirely possible I drop it, but, Dangerous Romance, I am so mad at how quickly it is brushing past interesting topics, but I am still watching it because I am curious where they intend to go with it. I don’t think they can salvage it, but I need to know what it is they want to say that made them think handling this show the way they are is better than exploring literally any of the class questions presented in the first couple episodes.
A bad show that you kept watching because you were horny
I don’t really watch shows because I am horny,  I watch shows because- Why R U? FighterTutor, only reason I watched that show, I skipped through most of the rest of it.
Tumblr media
A bad show that you kept watching because of that one character
Why R U? Because Fighter was such a compelling character and I thought Zee did a phenomenal job in the way he handled Fighter’s internalized homophobia. I wish they were giving Zee more complicated roles than Hia Lian because he’s a strong actor and I think his talent is wasted on Cutie Pie.
A bad show that you would still recommend
I don’t really recommend shows that I think are bad to people, so it is a case by case basis. I did not end up liking A Boss and a Babe, but I did recommend @emotionallychargedtowel watch at least some of it so she could get a better idea of Book’s acting ability.
The character that ruined a show the most
Nadia, My Ride. She’s such a self-entitled, incredibly judgemental bitch and I hate her, runner up is Toy for destroying Boss’ bookshelf.
Most awful character that you hated
Tumblr media
Tawan, KinnPorsche. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. I was glad when he died, and I must commend Na for his performance because he did such a good job playing an asshole that I still hate his face when I see it.
Most awful character that you loved
Korn from KinnPorsche, I am obsessed with how casually evil he is, and how he keeps his loyalty through faked compassion rather than abusive fear the way Gun does. He’s consistently winning, even when his lies are revealed. I think he does a superb job of flying under the radar as a visibly awful character. But he’s a terrible person.
A character that wasn't awful but that you just don't like
Tumblr media
Saifah, Why R U? It’s not his fault, but I just hate Jimmy’s face.
A hero that should have been a villain
Palm, Never Let Me Go, I had too many theories about the ways in which Palm could have betrayed Nuengdiao. Hell, I’d have settled for Chanon being a villain, but no, only loyalty :(
A morally bad character you're into
*ahem* *gestures to my username*
Tumblr media
Wen Kexing, Word of Honor who has done nothing wrong in his entire life.
A morally bad character you're not into and you wish people would stop being into
Theo, Enchante, I hate that motherfucker with a burning passion. I know that I said I think Book should be able to play more assholes cause he’s doing a great job with Mew’s revenge era, but Theo was a goddamn fucking major asshole who was not really presented as such.
The show that disappointed you the most
Again, it’s not done yet, so there is still time to maybe climb out of this hole, but I am very disappointed by Dangerous Romance at the moment.
The Worst Show of Them All Because of Your Own Reasons
Tumblr media
Enchante because how the fuck do you think it is okay to write a romance where one of the romantic interests both creates the most fucked up, convoluted lie to mess with your feelings, AND is so goddamn helpless that you GET FIRED FROM YOUR JOB FOR HELPING HIM, and not have either of those things be a wake up call or deal breaker?!

ted lasso 3.04 thoughts, mostly ted/rebecca related because i’m predictable:
they had scenes! sceneS!!!!! what is this, the year 2020?????? and they were both so fun!
i know i was really obsessing over the 1.04/2.04/3.04 parallel potential, and i feel like we got a spiritual successor to those first two episodes in the “am i a mess?” / “of course you are, that’s why we get along.” exchange. because that’s it!!!!!!
this is such a dorky takeaway, but after that scene with sassy at the beginning, i’m really like, “awwwww, rebecca really likes ted!!!!!!!” rebecca smiled at his “progmess” pun after sassy was like “puns = NO” and no one can take that away from me!
also, i feel like ted definitely asked sassy out to try to sort of “catch up” with michelle and the progress she’s made since they split. i really hope sassy’s fwb stance sticks (and hey, if they want to be f w/o b, that works for me too!), because i watch this show with a deranged and myopic agenda called tedbeccaism.
oklahoma! OKLAHOMA!!!!!! you know i wasn’t ready for that level of fanfic-attention-to-detail-level callback and then all of a sudden she just SAID IT! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! rebecca still thinking about a conversation these guys had over a year ago!
the energy of this scene -- like, obviously i’m super biased, but it felt very light and fond and lovely, with the lighting and the feels-y background music -- makes me feel like where we’re going is: at this point they both genuinely have no idea that they could ever have romantic feelings for each other, but the show is starting to be like “hint hint” and the epiphany’s gonna hit when they least expect it.⚡
rebecca manically hyping up ted and ted being the one that’s like “okay, crazy” for once was very delightful to behold. also, sometimes one simply likes to watch her manhandle him a little. (this is TWO episodes in a ROW with PHYSICAL CONTACT after the long, long drought??? whoa now. what’s going on!)
i loved all the rebecca + rupert + bex stuff!! rebecca and bex clearly having a good vibe between them! rebecca telling rupert to quit messing around!!! EPIC!
nate is breaking my heart! i didn’t expect him to already be so ... nate again, with his evil-and-thriving veneer pretty absent, and i really like this writing choice. him missing his chance for a makeup handshake with ted because of RUPERT. :’( i also really like that ted is sticking to his guns re: not being mad at nate. and both nate and ted having little figures of each other and being emotional about it!
rupert giving nate the full relationship-with-a-narcissist treatment = :( :( :(. it’s so harrowing to watch.
are keeley and gladys from bomb girls going to be a THING??? or am i just reading sapphic subtext into every interaction with a new woman that keeley has?
mary from ghosts being smitten with rebecca is the most real.
why are jamie and roy acting so shippable this season? what’s--what’s up with that? whatever it is, it’s a delight. also, jamie canonically a pooh bear style sleeper.
ted told michelle the truth!!!!!!! progress from the prog-mess!!!!!!! bless u, sir.

Character(s)? | Jade leech and Vil Schoenheit
Type? | gn! reader, mutual pining you and Vil are friends
for @twistedchatterbox​ 30 day event! luv u<3
Tumblr media
Like how the setting sun meets the dark ocean, Jade loves you.
You didn't know that, he didn't think you did anyways because well, you have the attention of THE Vil Shoenheit and have defeated many Overbloats. But for now, the letter you shall never see will do. For now.
A ringing bell takes him out of his trance. Has school ended already? Well then, he can just get notes from another classmate it's no big de- Oh.
You're with Vil again. How pleasant. Your friendship with him is growing quite strong. It's almost as if you're attached at the hip.
“Yo, Jade calm down looks like your about to murder someone!” Ah, it's Floyd. Usually, he could tell when someone was behind him. He's been spacing out more, that's no good. “Im alright, Floyd. Im just a bit tired that's all.” that was a lie, but having his brother worry over him while his crush is slowly slipping away from him is bothersome.
“Yeaaahhh noo, for real, what happening are you okay?” curse Floyd for knowing him so well.
Jesting his head over you and Vil he understands immediately. “Shrimpy and Betta getting too close for your liking? Why not confess to Shrimp already? What, are you scared?”—that's stupid.
“I am not. I'll confess to them in an hour!” What a stupid mistake.
Rummaging through his boxes of letters he needs to find the right one. About your eyes? Predictable. Your bravery? Others are already telling you that. Your beauty? That won't work.
That one.
The perfect one.
A knock is heard on your door. You would think it's vil but he's already here.
“Alright, sorting from expired, terrible, and unusable I have found one make-up brush. You exceeded my expectations…What are you doing?” Vil asked. It's not like you to just leave him without warning.
“Sorry! I heard a knock at the door and went to see what it was” A letter was behind your back hidden from his view. “Well? What is it? Did another desperate potato ask for your help?”.
“No just this” You held the letter up in clear view. “Aren't you going to read it??”
“If it is not too forward of me to say so, I have developed a very strong affection for you…The more we have talked... it is as if the world has brightened. I have never met someone as charming as you before. That feeling has never changed, and I will always be in love with your genuine, and beautiful soul. How did a person as wonderful and kind as you ever come to this world? You are truly a blessing, and I’m forever grateful to know you and to love you. You make every waking moment I spend with you feel like I am in paradise. I never want to leave your side... These words I write are not enough. Words will never explain how much my heart bleeds with love for you, how your love and affection for me cause joy to resonate through my body and spirit. I hope that my feelings will reach you in the best way possible. You’re my everything. I love you, and you alone. To me, you're a rose that should be protected from thorns, a delicate angel who needs a defender. To be your defender, I promise that I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy and keep you safe. I'm serious when I say, "I love you." I usually rhapsodize about your outstanding natural beauty to my friends. Your beauty hit me with a force of a poetic sledgehammer. I love you and cherish you. You're an angel personified.
-J.Leech”
“Well, now we know he likes you. What are you doing standing around? Go talk to him. I swear if you fawn over him anymore to me I WILL poison you.”

i cant believe how blind ubcan be to jewish suffering. tobthink ive been following and appreciating u for so long. shameful. my life is worth noting to u bc a government i don't support harms palestinians. war crimes are never justified. ni matter what bullshit u tell yourself
1) i am jewish + suffering lol
2) your life is worth everything to me, as are the lives of the ppl who were lost in that attack. i don't think it's a particularly controversial or brave take for me to say "i am distressed when people die". that does not take away from the context in which these events are happening + the fact that peaceful attempts to secure rights for palestinians have yielded little due to israeli violence. i pinkie promise you that neither i nor the majority of anti-zionists think that the lives of these people "mean nothing".
3) my genuine question (i don't actually know this)- can a people denied statehood commit war crimes? is it a war crime if you have no state? i don't think the term war crimes is very useful or meaningful here + actually obscures the power dynamic between the factions. "killing innocents" honestly communicates the same thing without implying that hamas has the same level of power as israel.
4) what is the expected result of 75 years of apartheid violence, during which peaceful responses yielded peanuts + israel continued to murder YOUR civilians? i'm not sitting here clapping + cheering about murder/kidnapping, but i am sitting here distraught by the extremely predictable outcome of a violent, oppressive regime which prioritizes a false claim to land over the end to suffering. at how a massive, horrifying wave of violence against palestinians, far more potent than hamas has the power to enact, is about to roll out + everyone is going to justify it because of this attack (who gets to retaliate? which violence is retaliatory + which is "unprovoked"? palestine is like 40% children + the israeli defense minister has promised to cut off all resources to the area- how many children do you expect to die? does their suffering matter?)

I think i started to follow you bc of tiny!cas, like eons ago, let me tell you seeing you get into different fandoms over the years has been a delight.
I remember seeing post of you going like 'hey these slasher film kinda go hard' and look at you know.
I mean this in the best way possible, I feel i've been watching a house plant grow, every now and then catching my attention and being amazed by the changes
omg thats such a sweet way of describing my... well happy autism awareness day everyone, its a nice way of describing the way i naturally transition through my Special Interests lmfao
actually, for the holiday, let me infodump about this very aspect of my brain to anyone who isnt aware how this works for me. (also every autistic person is different, so this is just how this symptom manifests in me)
ill say "phases" to simplify, though thats an unfair word because it implies im "over" my past phases. 99% of my past phases are pretty much there for life, but in the back of my mind. (So long as I didnt have a "bad breakup" with it for some reason, which is rare but happens) The ability to become a raving lunatic about it is dormant until someone asks the right question.
There can only be one interest (sometimes 2, with one being the less dominant one) at the forefront of my brain at a time, though. that defines the "phase".
so for example, my recent Halloween phase is "over" and I am 100% fully into Saw now, but I still absolutely love Halloween and Michael and Jason and all those guys. as evident by me still happily sharing gifsets and art and buying merch etc if it tickles my fancy. They're just hanging out in the background of my mental display case.
yea whoever follows my tumblr for a very long time has watched it happen in realtime. the transition between interests. i know for a fact which phase I started this blog on. if you're here from the beginning, youve seen, in order:
-Durarara!! -Deus Ex -Supernatural -Godzilla -Detroit: Become Human -There was like a few weeks where it was HLVRAI -And then it was plants. There was a year-long stretch with no Special Interest and I was latching onto odd things (and I was very inactive here) -Halloween & Friday the 13th -and now, Saw
I have many other things I love, but they don't clamp around my brain in quite the same extreme way.
my phases can last any amount of time, anywhere from a few short intense months to 5+ years, its completely random, completely unpredictable. even the interest itself is impossible to predict. its not something i choose, its something that happens to me.
sometimes i avoid watching things for a long time because im still very emotionally attached to my current phase and im genuinely afraid the shiny new thing will replace it. all art or fic ideas for the previous phase? theyll be abandoned. all I will want to create will be related to the new thing. (though I will sometimes draw it anyway, like digging up old toys to play with once in a while. The likelihood just drops considerably)
which is why right now i pretty much put a pause on the other franchises I plan on watching. I'm genuinely gripping onto Saw like someone is tryin to take it from me.
and then sometimes im like "haha yeah right. ill be fine. ill eat my shoe if my brain latches to this" and then put on the movie and by the credits roll im a new person (yes thats what happened with Saw. I really had no idea.)
this is also why im terrified of even just "checking out" things that have, like, a toxic fanbase or something, because i cant stop a new phase from happening if it does. and its really hard to keep it to myself, fuck
(do u know how mad i was when i realized i was attaching to hoffman the evil dirty cop??? i was so scared of drawing him, dudes. but thankfully everyones been cool abt it and we're all very aware of his awfulness & we have fun w it)
and every time my brain changes and i do get obsessed with some new thing, i get really scared and worried and hope I dont bother everyone who followed me for something else :(((( and yet, every time, im absolutely floored by how many people choose to tolerate my newest nonsense and stick around anyway
anyway ive lost the plot of what point i was making here OH YEAH thank you!
tl;dr: that would be the autism! thank you, it WILL happen again! that is a threat! 🥰

MY TAKE ON CORE REFRESH LAGOONA !!!!
or what i am going to call the core refresh series, mo(u)rning classes (if schools out is allowed to be a made up name then mourning classes can too!)
Tumblr media
anyways, basic description if you have struggle telling what is what (original sketch added if it helps to understand)
- curly hair pulled into a ponytail with a side bang
- white flower with pink gradient in the middle as a clip for the hair
- seaweed earrings with pearl necklace
- a pearlescent pink tube top that is sinched slightly in the middle with 2 green ruffles under
- a clear jacket
- 2 gold belts made out of spheres with one dangling a star and the other a sea horse
- white pants that open at the knee with gold trim
- shriek wrecked shoes, main shoe is wooden planks with rope dripping with water swirls up
and for neptuna,
- just like one of those cat carrier backpacks except it’s a fish backpack
notes ~
- i designed this with the knowledge of “can this be made with play line budget?” which i think is very fun and any mh designs ideas i make always have this rule in mind
- the neptuna backpack idea is actually from (i believe) xcanadensis? if not another youtuber
but she was talking about how she always imagined lagoona with like “those cat carrier backpacks but for neptuna”
- an explanation on how this design would be executed to doll in my head
• white flower will have the pink gradient from the middle, executed just like monster ball lagoona
• clear jacket will just be white mesh
• shoes are semi translucent blue plastic for the little water drips, the pink and green will be painted on
• the earrings and belt are made out of just that shimmery gold plastic, if it was plated it would ugly probably 😅
• neptuna backpack has the clear window removable, so you can take out and put in neptuna
- if there were some VERY EXTREME budget cuts here’s my ideas for cutting budget
• flower is just white
• both belts are attached
• shoes don’t have water dripping, so instead of the shoes being translucent blue plastic with 2 paint details, it’s just pink with added green
• one less ruffle layer on the top
that’s all the budget cuts i think you can give to this design before the design is lost
and that’s all! made this because when core refresh “descriptions” first leaked, i was curious about the one description lagoona was given..
“she has some interesting pants”
so while trying to think of some i was like “WHAT IF THEY OPEN UP AT LIKE THE KNEE”
Tumblr media
(original mock up 😅)
so then i just had to design an idea
wonder how she’ll look in the end, hope i can accidentally predict it!
and a few images of her for fun [1st/2nd is the actual original drawing where i made up the design (which was like a month ago already… i’m glad i at least improve fast on my drawing skills 😅 the third was just a doodle of her plus… another idea :) ]

Hi, how is your day? I want to ask you about Dazai's character and its developments in the series, and what do you think of him? Do you think he's smarter than fyodor? Thank you for the answer in advance... And in the end, I would like to thank you for your hard work and your wonderful style of writing. it is relly special ..
Hi, thanks for the message. I am glad u like what I do (I don’t really “write”, just “translate”, though).
I’m quite bad at expressing my opinions. I normally do not give much thought to things until I am asked about it. So u may find it my answer all over the place because I haven’t had it arranged in my head, it’s more like pulling out old notes from a rusty drawer. So I’m sorry about it in advanced. And this is all my personal opinion, so you don’t have to agree with me.
Dazai is a complicated and interesting character for me. He is smart, too smart that it brings him misery. People say ignorance is bliss, right? Then Dazai must be the most unfortunate guy on earth. Even Asagiri once described him as someone who has lived for 2000 years. I, with the brain of a normal person, can’t bring myself to imagine how boring life would be for him, knowing things too well. Some might say that he was being overdramatic when he was young, and that he’d regret having all those thoughts when he gets older. But I personally don’t think so. I think the pain and agony he felt was real, then or now. Just that in the past, he hadn’t met people who would surprise him, or go beyond his calculations, he lived on thinking humans were ugly, sinful and stupid and didn’t understand why they should be saved. His head must have been overwhelmed with thoughts that no one would ever be able to understand, and no one would even try to understand. That is why he was always lonely, and suicidal. I don’t think he really wanted to die, he just couldn’t find what to live for.
The thing I like about Dazai’s character is that he fundamentally didn’t change, even with all the so-called character developments. He was still the smart, and sad and lonely guy that he used to be. But he have met people who made him want to try living, peope who gave him a purpose and people who genuinely cared about him. And those are things that even his genius brain couldn’t have predicted. From a fifteen year old who believed nothing was worth living for, he has become able to tell Kyouka that everyone deserves a second chance in life, to Fyodor that it is okay even if we are all sinfully stupid, and admit that no matter how well him and Fyodor can foresee things, the fate of the world is not decided by them, but the imperfect human beings that are fighting for what they deem precious out there. I doubt Dazai will ever get rid of his suicidal thoughts, or loneliness, but at least he has things he wants to protect, and it gives him the motivation to live on. We haven’t seen him talking about dying for no reasons for so long. Now he only lets himself get hurt, or take risky action for the greater sake (BEAST is not counted cuz that is a totally different universe), and I think it is a good sign in his character development.
I forgot to write about his relationship with Akutagawa and Atsushi. Basically, I don’t think Dazai was a good mentor. Someone who hardly experienced failure is not likely to become a good mentor. He treated Akutagawa badly in the past because all he could see was that the weak could not survive in the harsh world and there was no saving for them. But the meeting with Oda has changed his way of thinking. He now sees orphans and the weak as those he has to protect, that’s why the way he treated Atsushi is very different from that of Akutagawa. He is still not the best mentor, but he is better now.
About Fyodor, I don’t think he is smarter than Fyodor. They must be on the same level of wits. Dazai actually can act more human when he is around people like him, so having Fyodor as an opponent can actually be very entertaining to him. Even if Dazai is going to win the final battle, I don’t think it is because Dazai is smarter. He is just backed up by more people in the “somewhat beautiful” side.
