"His Most Prized Possession"- Nishiki takes his partner with him to wash his car together for the first time and he's kinda giddy about it. (dork)

"How to Warm Up Your Koi"- Someone left the A/C on overnight and now the room is freezing. Aizawa has an idea on how his lover can keep him warm. 😏

[note-boom]

I was thinking about BSD's female characters again (as one does) and being mildly frustrated that a lot of their trauma comes from being controlled by an outside male source....and then it hit me.

Almost EVERY BSD character has a past and trauma rooted in being controlled or having a lack of control.

Atsushi under the orphanage headmaster. Akutagawa under Dazai. Kyouka under Akutagawa (and keep in mind Koyou helped get her out in the end). Yosano under Mori. Kenji losing control after his best friend dying. Chuuya under the government and then the Port Mafia. Koyou losing control over her freedom thanks to the old boss. Ranpo having no control over his own self and having been isolated from the world. The Hunting Dogs under the government. Sigma under the DoA and the Book. Even Dazai a little (more on that later).....just this persistent theme of people not getting control over their lives.

And you know what that sounds like? Characters in a story being manipulated by an author.

We have this persistent theme of literature and writing and books throughout BSD, after all. And this incessant use of a character having a tragic past rooted in lack of control or losing control and being manipulated by some superior force screams (to me at least) literary imagery. And what's most interesting is that Dazai both is a character and a manipulator.

Of course he's not the only one pulling the strings, as we know. But he does eat up a BIG part of the narrative, I think...a character who previously had no will to seek out anything to do (and thus adopted the values or reasons of the people around him) trying to craft a narrative of his own after the death of his friend. A character essentially trying to become the author (the light novel Beast just makes me wonder more about this, tbh). But also one whose story is told through the stories of other characters.

And what I find interesting about that AND Beast with regards to Dazai is this page from Vol 17...

People writing. The writer including their own self into the story. Being both a character AND an author and in that sense taking control of your own life and your circumstances....

I'm not sure where I'm going with all this, but I just wanted to really point out that part of a lot of the BSD characters' narratives have to do with this lack of control over their own lives....and we see the ADA full of people trying to take back control. Kunikida and his ideals, Yosano and her healing, Ranpo being the agency's core, Atsushi trying to save people, and Dazai trying to become the author in other people's lives if he can't be the author of his own (his inability to die, you know?).

So my question honestly is just what's the deal with that? Am I making mountains out of molehills or seeing themes and motifs that aren't there? And if not, what does the existence of the Book say about these characters struggling to write their own narratives? (Or the narratives of others, in Dazai's case). Just....literary imagery in BSD and the "toxic" relationship between the author and the character....

#yes my ponderings are always a bit of a stretch #blame my sleep deprived mind for that #im gonna make it even more a stretch though #by saying that koyou a female character helping kyouka write herself out of the control of others also feels literarily significant? #its the BOOKISH THEMES #the way all these characters seemed trapped under something greater that guides their actions #even mori with natsume's tri-something scheme #you ever wonder if natsume also kind of serves as an audience for the lives of the characters? #something something i am a cat being a book about a cat watching society go about in its nonsense #and something about the audience being able to influence the characters through their own interpretations #as i clearly am absurdly doing please forgive this #truth be told tho there are so many angles one could take on bsd and this is why ill always kick past me for getting into unfinished media #also yes this post came after me pondering the female characters post i reblogged (both of these are queued so no clue when it will appear) #of course there's a lot i havent considered...such as the postwar angle and philosophical one #man i think way too much about a stupid manga that decided to protect author thirst into a supernatural genre.... #does this kind of poking about even fit the depth this manga is trying to go down to? #oh well i said what i said and this is ultimately a blog where i release my unhealthy fixation on bsd in attempts to calm it #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd musings #bsd theories #too lazy to tag all the characters #rambling in the tags sorry #bsd manga spoilers #manga spoilers #bsd spoilers #spitting nonsense #oh...tho shoutout to fitzgerald for the person controlling him being two women...dead daughter and wife #yup there's more in the reblogs because i have no self control

In case tumblr ever does go down, im mejomonster on twitter insta discord too. Please add me

#rant #ill be messaging and asking for contacts latwr #the thing is. i saw ffnet slowly break and yeah. no support does eventually mean break. #and im frustrated both to need to go backup thousands of posts and contacts #but also. tumblr is rhe only hobby social media right now structured to encourage long blog type community conversations #on twitter i cant post long liveblogs or meta and you cant respond to them long #i cant retweet with tag commentary to add to a convo without pushing on the authors words #i cant tag my art in a way thats well organized on a site #instagram is SHIT for reblogs and visibility. as an artist twitter is the only viable #social media to get exposure. and since its less organized using tags? you cant use it for an archive as well #dreamwidth from what i understand is mlre like livejournal so. its also not #great for helping new possible friends find you and converse #its like journal comments #and tumblr tags allow for strangers to find my posts and really interact and befriend me #and also allow me to organize ny own blog. in a way wordpress does NOT #in a way twitter does not. and to gef more exposure and followers than i ever could with wordpress or dreamwidth. #there is no adequate replacement site for tumblrs features as far as i can tell #maybe twitter for art promotion. but thats it #and i dont qant to be on elon musks broken twitter. #discord isnt open chill conversation with 800 ppl on my blog and curious browsers #its more like aim chat

[badgloop]

((lmk if both parts show up! the queue didnt work and was giving me grief so im posting it now with a timestamp at the top

#seems like the site is acting up for me so #ooc #both parts arent showing up for me so pls lmk //sob #if both dont show up go on directly on my blog to see part 2. im going to reblog both later anyway

[p2ii]

i didnt realize @nonbinary-morro was your side blog i just thought you were two separate but similar people who i happened to be mutuals with

Me and the sideblogs ✌️

Idk @nonbinary-morro sounds like a p cool dude to me 👀, same pronouns, race, fandoms, personal post tags, other mutuals, age category... We'd get along ;) (/j/j, it's happened more times than you'd think lol, I think it's sweet in a way XP)

#ok but the fact you found both blogs independently(?) and liked them both enough to mutual me not knowing it was the same person #im gonna cry /pos #we are like. double mutuals now. mutuals^2 #also sorry for the homestuck joke i just had to #psii.txt #ask #wait did you realize because of the desi wolfwood post ? or the textpost tag? or i think i rebloged a ninjago thing earlier #the wolfwood poll earlier today..? #im kinda curious now 👀 #if you dont mind divulging obviously

[literalite]

ty for your tags cause why is it painted as a bad thing to want your posts to look pretty and nice 😭

i can understand why people would wish that aesthetic sensibility is less of a drawing factor on simblr because of like. limited access in terms of like. renders and g/reshade and high quality graphics and hq mod etc etc etc i won't deny those sorts of things give the people who can access them a massive leg up. and editing can be quite time consuming and hard if you have for example joint issues or wrist issues of some kind

but also to be brutally honest this is a pictures-based microcommunity? the main draw is. surprisingly enough, sharing images of our sims. it'l be harder yeah but people get notes without renders (me?? lol) without re/gshade presets, without the hq mod. hell people have their stuff blow up and they'll be pure vanilla simblrs putting a 3 layer psd over their images. for me personally its about knowing lighting and colours and shot composition, and that kind of stuff is accessible to anyone, its not like i ever went to any classes for that so 😭 idk man

#like im sorry but i only reblog stuff that i both like the look of and give a crap about on my blog im not gonna give a pity rb to anyone #everyone here starts at the exact same level tbh #ask #reply #anonymous #ur welcome to discuss this with me if u fundamentally disagree with me btw i think this is an interesting topic i wont bite ur head off

[tinydancerandthemoonchild]

Hey! It's the mod here. I know it's been a while, so I wanted to make an update post regarding the unannounced hiatus I've been on.

As you may have guessed, based on the (aside from reblogging my ask for help from my main), I got a bit of burnout with this blog. I've been wanting to start it back up again for a while, and I've been plotting out a bit of plot for a while so I'm not just making this all up as I go along and can keep track of things lol. Now, while this is fun and all, there are some things I want to address.

Firstly, as some of you may know, this blog started because Levi's mod and I were going back and forth with a prince donnie idea, initially to help him sleep, in fact. As you can tell, it spun up into this blog and an entire universe of its own. Unfortunately, Levi's mod and I had a falling out. For those of you that do follow my main, back in August, there was a debacle from me freaking out over something and some confusion over who I was upset with, leading to a chain of hate mail that has continued to the point that I'm even less sure of my identity and self-worth than before. Levi's mod contacted me via DMs to talk about the situation, but never responded after I did. To my knowledge, at least as far as Tumblr is showing me when I look at old asks on this blog, their blog has since deactivated. I'm unsure if they have received harassment or anything on my behalf from this entire situation, but if that occurred, I do not condone it and I am ashamed of those of you that partook in that. In light of these developments, unless I am contacted by Levi's mod either directly or through a mutual contact, I will be leaving their contributions to this au and the origins intact out of respect. If he wishes to no longer be included in this au, he knows where to contact me, and I will overhaul as necessary and restart the blog to do so.

Secondly, as things have been somewhat bogged down as of late, for the sake of plot, I may timeskip to when everyone has been safely returned home to their universe. Before doing this, I will consult with the lovely mod that was assisting with the pizzaplex crossover arc before doing so to see what course of action I should take. If I do timeskip, I will answer the ask that Pride's mod has sent me to tie up a little bit of Michaelangelo and Ali's adventure into the canon Rise universe, and then proceed with the timeskip.

As of right now, anon will be remaining off to avoid further hate mail, insults, and threats to my life and safety, along with attempts at doxxing me in my own inbox. If there are questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to send in an ask, and I will respond as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience with this long wait, and I'm excited to continue the story of this blog, as I have a lot in store!

#ooc #sorry about the long wait it's been a rough time for me #between the constant hate messages from the misunderstanding #the beration for having traumatized my own oc in my fic and asking for people to read it and tell me what they think #my stepfather dying just over a week before my birthday #along with a lot of latent abandonment issues confusion and autism kicking me in the teeth #on top of the financial issues #it's just been hard. #i do hope this explains it well enough and im sorry if it doesn't im not very good at explaining things #i have been crying almost every day for the past two weeks and the stress has caused some breathing issues in that time #and i was driven out of one of my own blogs because it simply no longer feels safe there- #-considering it was found through reblogs and harassed extremely heavily due to the entire thing #but i am feeling well enough today despite crying that i can kick myself enough to get this out #anon is on on both my main and the blog i publish the fic on from the 14th through the 22nd to allow for anonymous comments regarding it #and i may turn anon back on on this blog when it's up and running again as i have cleared the hate mail from its inbox #but right now i just wanted to explain why it's been royally dead #i will provide further updates depending on what happens #but for right now im going to focus on being excited to get it back up and running #and i hope you are too

#i unfollowed and blocked someone id followed for a long time #someone id followed prolly from the beginning of this blog #because the only palestine related posts they were reblogging were about calling out leftist antisemitism #and like im not against that i am all for calling out antisemitism and they were also calling out tankies #which again i am 100% for i have called out tankies on this blog many times #but this person had NO posts about support for palestine #not one link tree for donations or anything at all #just posts calling the most vocal people for palestinian liberation holocaust deniers with no proof #and its just like i went back in their blog for a full week #it was only fandom stuff and posts about tankies being antisemetic #and its like you can do both bro #i have been doing both #i have posted about support for palestine and i have been calling for denouncment of antisemitism and tankies #its possible to do both #but you havent been #and it kind of implicitly tells me where you stand

[clueless1995]

god i have to start using consistent grammar on posts they keep getting reblogged

#like idc if i use im or i’m but both in the same post feels bad. #and if like three mutuals like it and that’s it it’s Fine but i keep inadvertently making posts that reach outside of the mutuals #honestly a bit scary just bc i had a blog that was semi popular on here when i was a teenager and it was a horror show #it was for a specific fandom and a ship within that fandom too so there were a lot of Strong Opinions. and rape threats #i guess if i get too many followers i can just start blocking people and turning off reblogs when it reaches a certain point #i’m sure it sounds silly bc my friends on here are WAY more popular/have more popular posts and whatever #but like. for a long time i wouldn’t interact with anyone or make posts on here i would just reblog stuff #and now i have friends and mutuals and i get to be silly with them on the internet so its a fair trade off to have to deal with a 200 note #post every now and then

[layzeal]

i rly need to go through my followers list and follow back some accs cause i want more modao mutuals!!! but i'm pretty heavy on curating my dash so i usually have to scroll a long time before following an account, SO just to make things easier: if you don't post/reblog discourse or character bashing or basically annoying-bait content, can you react with an emoji? i'll check it out!

(your acc doesn't have to be mdzs exclusive content btw! mine sure isn't haha)

#pls don't take it personal if i don't follow back tho! i might still not #if you post a lot of politics or don't tag fandom reblogs and such #i just wanna follow more ppl but im both too busy and too lazy to go through a lot of blogs rn sjhdksdh #thank u besties <3
