[chuuya-kisser]

THEORY TIME THEORY TIME

ok. so. first of all FYODOR FCKIN DOSTOEVSKY I LIKE U AND ALL BUT???? REMAIN DEAD??? U JESUS FR??

ANYWAYS ignoring that

so bc i adore skk to hell and back obviously im gonna explore their dynamic first

what kills me is how familiar they are with each other. they arent insulting each other in every sentence, which is still alright. and what struck me the most is how much dazai seems to trust chuuya. more so than anyone.

so far we know that dazai isn't exactly the most open person around. his entire cheerful joking persona is a facade, a fake. what you see is usually only what he wants to show you. his real emotions? ive only seen them very rarely, if at all. now look at these

the way chuuya says what he does implies that he is already used to this habit of dazai's, which is only possible if dazai did this in his mafia days, AND even then, he was open and willing enough to let chuuya see it and know that dazai was anxious. which means that even before mersault, before dazai left the mafia, he and chuuya atleast were that close that the usually closed-off, know-everything demon prodigy could show his worry to his partner, multiple times.

i think that over here, dazai really isnt hiding his emotions. you can see the shock and worry on his face and in his eyes clearly as he puts the pieces together. not only that, hes also laying out parts of his plan to chuuya, in addition to his theories. which he rarely does unless im wrong about that (its possible). he isnt worried about chuuya using his emotions and weaknesses against him, because he trusts him enough, although i think the trust between them was already shown when both of them fake-killed each other.

its easy to see the panic in his eyes, and personally i feel that this is him showing a bit of weakness, which is perfectly alright. the thing is that again, hes letting chuuya see this. I very much doubt that he would have let down his facade enough to show this to absolutely anyone else.

also the poor guy literally looks so stressed out here give him a goddamn break asagiri

aaaaand now chuuya.

now what strikes me is that even in the last chapter/s, chuuya has multiple times tried to reassure dazai that fyodor is indeed dead to try and calm down dazai's worries. this can also be him also wanting a damn break but anyways.

and these panels. while many ppl are agreeing that hes just sitting there being a pretty boy while dazai tows through helicopter debris (and i agree), and definitely chuuyas sadistic streak when it comes to dazai is showing itself clearly, its often been seen in both the official arts and animanga that whenever working together, chuuya always covers dazai's blind spots.

think about it. dazai has his back turned towards everything. if someone launched a surprise attack on him at this moment, the chances of him dodging, finding out abt it in time is pretty low. chuuya is directly behind dazai. i got this idea from another post i saw, but what if this is also chuuya covering for dazai yet again? protecting him?

anyways thats it folks maybe ill make another post on jesus- i meant fyodor soon

[soupthatistohot]

BSD 109 Spoilers!!!

I will always always ALWAYS come back to this panel when talking about Asagiri’s storytelling.

At its very core, BSD is an absurdist text, Kafka Asagiri having been inspired by many absurdist authors. Franz Kafka, who he took his pseudonym from is one of them. Albert Camus, basically the most well-known absurdist is referenced with the Mersault prison, the name of which comes from a character in his most famous absurdist work, The Stranger. 

Absurdism is the belief that the world around us is irrational and inherently absurd and that explicitly seeking meaning is pointless. In his essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus explains, that there is value in the act of rebellion, though. Sisyphus, who has been doomed to roll a boulder up a mountain only for the boulder to tumble back down each time he reaches the peak, finds meaning in the act of continuing to push the boulder. Even though he will continue this cycle for all of eternity, he doesn’t just lay down and give up, he rebels against the absurdity of his situation by continuing to push the boulder, despite the seemingly futile nature of the act. 

As I said earlier, BSD is an absurdist text. All of the animanga’s main characters are on a journey of discovering their meaning in life, and their place in the world, and they do this by rebelling against its absurdity — especially Dazai. 

Dazai sees the absurd world for what it is, and when he was in the PM, he hated it. Thus, he sought suicide as a solution. I will note here that absurdists generally view suicide as a failure to rebel against the absurd, just giving up and giving into hopelessness. But ever since Dazai left the PM and took Oda’s advice, he’s been rebelling against this, doing good despite his inherent beliefs about morality and the world, and he’s absolutely gotten better for it. 

Other characters embody this idea of rebelling against the absurd, hell, that’s kinda what this whole arc is about. The world is literally ending, and things seem to be at their absolute worst, but someone like Atsushi still has hope that he can change the minds of the hunting dogs and save reality as we know it. He even has hope that he can get through to a vampiric Akutagawa when the guy is literally brainwashed and attacking him. Aya as the “last hope” right now embodies this, too, deciding that she can’t just sit around and do nothing and then trying to remove the sword from Bram even though the effort appears futile. 

But everything is going wrong right now. Fukuzawa is bleeding out, Dazai has just been shot through the forehead and appears to have died, Atsushi’s had his limbs ripped off and is at Akutagawa’s mercy, and Fukuchi is literally going to end the world! How can we have hope?!

Think about BSD. Think about the story that’s been told so far. Surely Asagiri isn’t killing everyone right now, surely the world isn’t gonna actually end. I’m not entirely convinced Aya’s plan is gonna work— but please consider that the point of absurdist storytelling is that even when everything seems to be at its worst, even when life seems completely meaningless, there is inherent meaning in still continuing to fight against this. 

BSD has never been a story where the villains win, and I don’t think it’s gonna start being one. I think, as usual, Asagiri wants to scare us, to make us feel hopeless about the situation, only for someone to pull through and completely turn the tides.

Dazai laying down and accepting his death at Chuuya’s hands is not going to be the end of his story, because it goes against everything Asagiri seems to stand for. Dazai wouldn’t just give up in his fight against Fyodor, because he needs to prove he’s right about what he says in this panel:

"The ones who actually make the world turn are those who scream within the storm of uncertainty and run with flowing blood."

I think this reflects Asagiri's own beliefs and is also the reason why he is not going to let Dazai die like this, because in a way, that would be proving that Fyodor is right. From a storytelling perspective, it’d be saying “everything I’ve communicated up to this point actually means nothing and life is truly hopeless!” 

Dazai has cheated death before, as has basically everyone else in danger right now. I promise you, something is going to happen and they’re all going to survive, because BSD is not trauma porn, for lack of a better term. It’s a story about how a group of people fight against the absurdity of their reality, even when everything seems completely and utterly hopeless. 

There’s a lot of theories circulating about how things could work out, especially Dazai’s “death,” and I’m not here to repeat all of them, but I will say that a lot of them have credence, especially because Asagiri isn’t the type of author to make mistakes, every single detail has a distinct reason. 

So even though I don't know how things are going to work out, I have full faith that they will, including Dazai's current situation. None of these characters are done just yet, they've got too much fight left in them to just give up.

“then so be it” ⋆ red haired shanks

content & warnings: female reader, she/her pronouns, black-coded reader, conflict angst, fluff

author’s note: opla shanks is sexy, tbh so is animanga shanks 😹 so u can imagine which ever

word count: 1.5k

He means well.

That’s what you believe, and when he does things that chip away at that thought, it's what you say aloud.

You feel silly. because when you try and face reality with the way Shanks disrespects you, you hear a voice in the back of your head pull up that same excuse.

Descending a path of overthinking never helps you. All it does is make you panic and question your sanity.

You’d been in a long-term relationship with the notorious Red Haired Shanks, captain of the aptly named Red Haired Pirates and it was never going to be a walk in the park.

He drops by when he can to your home island, even if it irritates his crew members but he can easily pacify them by making a detour to the local tavern and having some alone time with you for a few nights before he's off heading to whatever journey to god knows where.

You reminisce on how you two met.

Your village had always been under an oppressive tyrant's rule but it was lifted thanks to Red Haired pirates. Now your home was back to normal and free.

Apparently, that’s what Emperors of the Sea could just do.

It was slightly embarrassing for you to admit to Shanks later on that you had fallen for him the moment you saw him. How cliché.

But as soon as you had given him the green light for him to pursue you, he made sure everybody knew you were his.

*

"Jeez, what's with you Captain? You look like shit." Lucky commented after Shanks had been uncharacteristically quiet for the last few days.

"Always can count on you for honesty, can't I buddy?" Shanks chuckled as he straightened his posture slightly.

"You and the missus on bad terms or what?" Beckman questioned as he leaned his elbows against the bar and tilted his head back.

"How’d you know, you sneaky bastard?"

"Written all over your face. What's the damage?"

"Stood her up." Shanks said, thumping his head on the counter.

"For how long?"

"Waiter said the sweet thing had been sitting there for two hours. Christ, I’ve never fucked up this bad."

"Damn, you missed your anniversary cos you were out drinking with us?"

"I’m a dirtbag." Shanks groaned, still wallowing in his guilt.

There was a slight commotion and clamouring of other pirates at the front of the tavern, Lucky turned his head to see what all the noise was about.

"Oooooweeeee!"

"Smokin' hot!"

Lucky’s eyes immediately widened when he realized who it was.

"Uh Cap, you're gonna wanna see this."

"I don't wanna look at some random broads, Lucky. I’m already in the doghouse and all I can think of is my beloved-"

"She’s right there!" Lucky exclaimed.

Shanks pulled a face and squinted his eyes at the absurdity of the suggestion you were even here.

"Quit pullin' my leg Lucky. You ain’t funny."

"I’m dead serious, Cap! Look!"

Shanks did a spit take when he saw none other than his girlfriend, stood at the entrance with three other gorgeous women.

All in the most showy, dressy attire you could think of.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Yasopp questioned.

It was common knowledge that you stuck on your island. And never left.

There was countless men fawning over the four women, but you in particular since you were sporting a “Come and get me look”

You strut your way towards the bar where Shanks and Lucky were sat. Deliberately swinging your hips, running your fingers through your hair and licking your teeth which only seemed to drive the men more wild.

Countless offers to pay for your drink as they mobbed around you.

Shanks however, was not particularly impressed by the series of events currently unfolding in front of him.

"How are you even here right now?" He questioned, elbow propped against the bar.

"I’m sorry darling, have we met somewhere before?" You asked, in a saccharinely sweet tone as you looked at him through your eyelashes.

The Red Haired pirates burst into absolute hysterics, banging tables, spilling drinks and jeering.

"SHE GOT YOU GOOD SHANKS!"

He simply smirked and turned his head to face his raucous crew members.

If you wanted to get your own back, then so be it. It wasn't like he didn't deserve it.

*

"If that bastard thinks he can CAST ME to the side he's got another thing coming." You fumed, as you ransacked through your closet while your best friend Max sat on the ottoman in your bedroom, cackling.

"You two really are made for each other." She remarked as she puffed out the smoke from her cigarette. "I’ve never seen a man who can fire you up that easily."

"I told you no smoking in my house idiot, go to the window before you make the whole place smell gross."

"Fine." She said, as she got up begrudgingly.

She didn't put up a fight since anybody who knew you and was granted access into your abode knew it was pristine.

"I’m gonna look for the sluttiest dress I own."

"And what?"

"Give him some of his own medicine." You hissed. "He getting way too comfortable. He thinks just because I let him do whatever he can neglect me."

"I don't think he's neglecting you." She replied. "You and I both know he's crazy about you, and that your relationship was never going to be like a normal one what with him being one of the four emperors of the sea."

"I don't need rationality at the moment, Max!" You screeched.

*

He dragged you outside of the tavern and turned to face you.

Shanks never got angry. But when he did, it was spine chilling and it took everything in you not to scuttle away like a scared critter.

You were inebriated, struggling to stand upright.

"I let you have your lil payback but why are you dancing with other men in front of my face?" He questioned as he furrowed his brows together.

"Oh, now you care."

"Y/N, don't be silly! When have I not cared? Is this about the anniversary?"

You struggled to come up with an answer on the spot.

"There’s more to it than that Shanks, and you know it! Yeah, that anniversary date meant a lot to me but you blow me off all the time. And don't use your job crap because a good chunk of your time is spent partying it up and drinking with your buddies!"

"I am only doing what you asked." Shanks sighed, anger dissipating away. "I asked you to come with me, does that ring any bells? And you said no. I try to visit you when I can."

"What? So its just all my fault? Yeah I wanted to stay home cos I have a life outside of you!”

"I know." Shanks said, defeatedly.

You swallowed thickly as you felt a lump form in your throat and tears prickle at your waterline.

"I don't know why I insisted...on being with you." You began, unable to face him. "You told me so, huh Shanks?" You said with a wry chuckle as he gazed at you.

"I didn't say that to be a smart ass. I love you. So much. With every fibre of my being." He said, as he moved closer to cup the side of your face with one hand.

He could be romantic when he wanted but he liked to get under your skin, as he grabbed hold of your jaw and smooshed your cheeks together, making your lips pout.

“Shanks, you’re not funny…!” You barked, sounding ridiculous as you struggled to pull out of his grip.

He let go and chuckled.

“I’m sorry, baby. You’re easy to tease.” He scoffed, then pulled you right against his chest.

"You’re making it worse." You murmured as you felt yourself crumble internally as he rubbed your back gently and kissed the top of your head.

"Then so be it.”

“…Shanks.”

You leaned up to brush your lips against his but he was unreceptive.

“I wouldn’t feel right, baby.” He said gently with a smile, pulling away from the kiss. “You’re drunk. Let’s get you to bed.”

“But…I came with my friends.”

“I’ll take care of it, I promise. We’ll drop them home. I’ll let you sleep it off too.” He said, reassuringly as the two of you began to walk back to the tavern.

Soon enough, you rested in the bed of captain’s cabin’s of the Red Force. Mind drifting off to sleep.

He knew you well, despite barely being around. He was a smart guy, despite it all.

He knew you were a sleepy drunk.

“I’m lowdown and no good for an angel like you. But, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.” He murmured as he sat on the edge of the bed, taking your hand in his and running his thumb across the hollow of your knuckles.

You were half asleep and bleary eyed, but his gentle tone and rocking of the ship was enough to lull you back to sleep.

“I mean it.”

You squeezed his hand gently, making him smile. He then pressed his lips against the crown of your head and made his way out.

To Catch A Falling Star (Idia Shroud x Reader)

Inspired by a scene from Criminal Minds

Masterlist

Reader is intended to be female

If Idia had to describe you in one word it was unexpected.

He still remembers the day he met the magicless prefect who appeared out of nowhere in a fiery blaze of glory like some leveled up shounen protagonist about to fight the final boss, how Ortho had directed you into his room before he could stop him. And instead of being repulsed by the many, many posters, figurines and merch he had scattered around his room, you were in fact…elated?

“You’re an otaku as well?” you beamed at him, your starry-eyed gaze of awe rendering him speechless before he flinches as you yell, pumping your fists in the air, “Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!”

Yeah, he does not have the energy to unpack that.

Anyway, he never expected you to appear in his world, and he never expected to find himself comfortable with you, his new gaming buddy and fellow animanga enthusiast. You never judge him for his tastes or his behaviour or less than ideal personality. You were someone he could genuinely call a friend andabsolutelynothingmoreOrthoIloveyoubutpleasebequiet.

And having you around a lot, both because of you just barging into his room or by Ortho’s multitude of invites, just felt natural, your chatter being something that he could call soothing. Which is how he found himself absolutely dominating his current multiplayer playthrough with you doing your own thing by his side.

After his team had won the game, he turned to you, ready to receive your subsequent praise, only to find that your attention was diverted towards a wooden toy thing, your face scrunched up in concentration as your fingers fiddled with its many vertices.

“What are you doing?” he asked and you paused your twiddling, looking up at him. 

“Oh I got this star puzzle in Sam’s shop earlier. It reminded me a lot of this thing we have back in my world so I thought that I’d try it out,” you look back down and resume playing with it, “it’s practically impossible to figure out. You’ve got to put all of these pieces together to form a perfect star. It’s a bit of a headache really but it’s got a really sweet backstory.”

“So that thing’s got lore?” Idia raised his eyebrows and held out his hand. You gently toss it into his open palm.

“Well, you see it’s this romantic story where a young prince wanted to win the heart of the fairest maiden in the land, so he climbed up to the top of the tallest tower in the kingdom and caught a falling star for her. But, since he was so excited to give it to her, he dropped it and it smashed into all of these small pieces. So he frantically put it back together again to prove his undying love to her and he succeeded and they lived happily ever after.”

“What a load of normie nonsense,” Idia scoffed.

“Excuse me?!”

“You can’t catch a falling star,” he deadpanned, “it would burn up in the atmosphere.”

“Really?” you ask, unimpressed, “you live in a world that has flying broomsticks and magic mirrors and plants that can yell loud enough to kill someone - I really don’t think you can argue about the concept of reality when there are children here who are capable of breaking the laws of physics on the regular.”

“But still, it’s stupid,” he grumbles, “why does catching a star make you a shoujo manga male lead.”

“It’s romantic,” you argue, “he loves her so much that he would do the impossible for her. Besides, the point is that it’s impossible to do because you have to take all of these pieces and fit them exactly into the shape of a -”

You trail off, dumbfounded, when Idia smugly presents to you the completed puzzle, a small brown star sitting idly in his hand. 

“You were saying,” he smirked at your flabbergasted expression, preening slightly when it shifted to annoyed, “it doesn’t seem all that hard to me.”

“Why do you have to be like this,” you lamented, pouting as you grumbled about ‘high and mighty otakus who think they’re so cool just because they’ve beaten you in every one-v-one you’ve played’.

“Just take the L,” he said, not without a hint of condescension, as he turned back to his screen. Thankfully you were too busy wallowing to notice the magenta glowing along the edges of his hair. Why do you have to be so cute? You’re dangerous, you know.

Yeah, you’re a pretty unpredictable person. But that doesn’t mean that he can’t pull any epic gamer moves of his own.

We know that Shanks loves Buggy, but what does Buggy think of Shanks?

Young Buggy thinks he's fun to hang around with even when they tend to argue about the dumbest stuff. He'd never admit this to anyone but he admires Shanks' charisma and strength.

Since there's no one piece and he's not raised together with Shanks and doesn't have such a close relationship with Roger and the crew here, there is no goal for Buggy to give up on, and there's no bitter feelings caused by the "betrayal" Shanks did by not going for the goal Buggy gave up on

Some of the relationship dynamics and personalities change here in wonderland au because the factors that made them like that in the animanga aren't here to affect them

Present Buggy doesn't remember Shanks though so he just thinks the Queen is weirdly sticky and likes to give out presents for no reason, not that he's complaining 😌

#so stuff like Cora being mean to kids wouldn't be necessary for me to add since HE's the boss of Doffy so there's no need to scare Law away #-from Doffy's influence and all that bc he can easily stop Doffy without fear of anyone getting hurt #buggy in wonderland au #asks #BIWasks

I don't have a title for this but it's regarding whether Noé will or will not drink Vanitas blood

I'm sure most people in the case study of Vanitas fandom have agreed on the fact that Noé will, most likely, drink Vanitas blood before he will inevitably die. This short post is just me stating "evidence" regarding the matter.

So, as we all know, Vanitas does not want Noé to drink his blood because he is an archiviste. Makes sense. Besides the fact that it's to keep Vanitas mysterious in general, he himself has stated in an extra chapter (they were discussing the Birthdays of the main cast) that he does not like such information to be revealed to strangers, if I remember correctly. Now, I know that Noé and Vanitas are far from strangers, but it's Vanitas we are talking about here, come on.

Now, I know that in some animanga it's just an artistic choice to have the characters speak about the present as if it's the past, but Mochijun never does something without a reason behind it. So far, I think there have been three occasions where Noé spoke in past tense (of which I only have screenshots of two of them.)

Number one:

the first chapter. It is revealed that Noé will kill Vanitas, but it spoken about as if it happened in the past. Now I know, artistic choice, but hold on.

Number two:

In chapter eleven (I think??) It happened again. Noé is talking about Vanitas passing.

What I am trying to get at, is that the whole story of case study of Vanitas is portrayed from Noé's point of view and it only (or mostly) contains scenes where Noé was present. Except for a few scenes with domi and flashbacks of Vanitas past. Now what do the two of them have in common based on this post? Both are the people Noé has drank or will drink the blood of.

Dominique is obvious and Vanitas just makes sense.

Maybe during Vanitas's "dying breath", Noé thought of what jean-jacques said here

and wanted to remember Vani as best as he could, not wanting to forget him but also wanting to understand him, even (or especially) after his passing.

Or Vanitas thought about it and, deep down, wanted someone to remember his story. The complete story.

Now Imagine Vanitas in Noés arms, slowly dying (maybe bleeding out), Noé viewing Vani's memories and during Vanitas dying breath, Noé whisper his real name. Damn now I made myself sad.

So yea, that's about it I think?? I know this is all pretty obvious, but I still wanted to get it out of my system. Also, I apologize for any grammar mistakes or language errors, it is the middle of the night and english is not my native language.

#vanoe #case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #i am too tired for this #this is a what if #and a cry for help because please Mochijun make VaNoe canon #i didn't know whether to write this or not because i thought it's pretty obvious but i have never heard anyone address it?? #vannoe #vannoé #vanoé

Can I ask, if you have top favorite romantic couples (can be canon or non canon) of all time from any media? Why love them? Thx :D

... now this, took a minute to answer in some ways. There a lot of ships I like, so this was really easy and hard to answer at the same time. Some ships it was an immediate yep yep and others I had to go '... but is it a fav of all time, though?" But I think I got it narrowed down.

So here we go, fav ships of all time from any media, no particular order. I didn't get any specific no. to do so I'll just list a handful until I can't think of any others. (Anyone who comes across this that sees a ship on here you don't like and feels the need to say something about it, stay in your lane this ain't about your opinions it's about mine.)

The main FMA ships

Arakawa Hiromu, nigga, you cooked. Imma just put the FMA ships as one and leave it there because if I do it separately, we'll be here all day. But if you wanna see me diving into why I like these ships in a manic ramble, here's a post I made on that here. The romance in FMA is literally a category and a discussion all on its own that I can go about on for hours. FMA has the best romances in shounen so anyone who has consumed FMA will know what I'm talking about. Like, whenever anyone tries to use a manga being 'shounen' to justify shitty romantic writing, I point at FMA's brilliant riding. An animanga's demographic is not an excuse for terrible executions in romance. EdWin, RoyAi, LingFan, AlMei and all the side ships drank and left no molecules.

NaruSaku

Toxic shippers, again, stay in your lane, I don't feel like dealing with y'all any day. I have been shipping this shit for years, always have, always will. Ignore the fact I ship Sakura with literally everyone from the Akatsuki to Hinata to Sai to Shikamaru. (Y'all I used to look up Kisame/Sakura fics, unironically TAT). (Same for Naruto honestly, I've shipped him with Sasuke, Ino, Temari, Tenten, the list goes on and on.) The way Sakura goes from finding Naruto annoying to almost dying multiple times to keep him safe, I will never EVER be over that. Naruto's love going from puppy to something as passionately red as the thread of fate itself. The MinaKushi parallels. I have a lot (and I mean a lot) of ships in Naruto pertaining to these two, but NaruSaku is my absolute favorite. Like it was literally confirmed that Sakura got over Sasuke and then it got retconned for some bullshit. Saying it with my whole chest, argue with a wall, it should have been them. I won't dog any other ships, but yeah, it should have been them. 699 chapters of Naruto being in love with one woman, I sing the praises everyday.

SakuHina

Hinata's prince charming is literally Sakura. I have a whole ass fic I am slowly, painstakingly writing about what Naruto would have been like if Hinata had a crush on Sakura the whole time. I just think they're really cute together, have amazing chemistry and balance each other out. I didn't expect to like SakuHina as much as I did but here we are.

Kyoru

I mentioned it before in another answered ask but Fruits Basket was my first manga (if you're curious what my first anime was, it was Yu Yu Hakusho) and Kyoru was probably my first OTP. There are two characters I think upon so many rewatches and rereads that were prime game for who Kyo and Tohru could have ended up with had things been different (which, I do really ship as well. Multishipper here guys) but I'm not mad about the endgames that we got. From start to finish, Kyo and Tohru's relationship is beautiful and you can feel how strongly they feel for one another. It's like, wow, Takaya really gave us one of the best ships in shoujo and didn't even apologize for it.

Klance

Red + Blue = True. They had chemistry, supplemented for what the other lacked and we really don't need to have me diving into the bs that was VLD. That show wasn't even out long, my god, it was a mess.

NeuviFuri

Should I explain to you the romanticism of Hydro x Hydro? Oof how I love them. A Genshin ship after my own heart, truly. But if anyone is trying to against MiHoyoverse (I was here from the Mihoyo days, leave me alone) in terms of seeing who ships NeuviFuri more, we all lose. They literally paid people to do an ice dancing program in NeuviFuri cosplay, paid a guy to make a companion piece to Furina's song from Neuvillette's perspective and several other animations concerning their relationship in some way. But the Mihoyoverse shenanigans aside, it's the build up of 400+ years of working together, the care they still have for one another and yes the complementary abilities and color palettes. Not enough time in the day to talk about them, I don't think.

AriDante

Almost thought I wouldn't have a gif for them, then I remembered THEY GOT A MOVIE. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is one of my favorite books in the world. I have reread it once a year religiously since 2017 when I first discovered it. This is such a beautiful novel and relationship and if you haven't had the pleasure of reading it or the sequel, please do yourself a favor and buy it or rent it from your local library. It's just, the way Ari has been in love with Dante for so long and didn't even realize it but it's so, so clear to the reader because of just how he talks and describes him? I don't even want to go to deep into this one just in case there's someone here that hasn't read this book because it deserves to be read and experienced blind. Just, just please y'all read it.

Fan Theory/Speculation (contains spoilers)

So, through the act of watching OPLA (for about the 60th day in a row), I noticed something interesting.

Notice anything… interesting about Sanji’s right middle finger? He’s wearing a ring. This detail struck me as intriguing as his animanga counterpart is not seen wearing any sort of accessories such as rings. Many fans have noticed that certain things were added or removed from the live action adaptation, so in all honesty, this ring could just be passed off as another minute change designed to help bring flair to the character of Sanji.

But it’s just stuck with me, and given the amount of Easter eggs and tiny elements of foreshadowing the live action offers us, I can’t help but feel as if this particular ring is some sort of element to that. So I decided to do to some research into it.

It turns out that the type of ring Sanji is wearing is known as a “signet ring”. They are different from many mundane rings as they were typically only worn by high ranking persons and even royalty. The ring is embedded with often times a unique family crest, and the patriarchs of such families would use these rings to seal important documents and such with wax.

With that information clarified, here’s my absolute favorite part of this theory.

It’s already interesting enough that Sanji has been given a signet ring to wear, but the positioning of it on his hand also has a strong meaning.

Historically, the positioning of rings was a way to display certain emotions/ranking/statuses, and even still they have a cultural impact. How about we look into what a ring on the middle finger signifies, hmm?

Now, there’s a lot to unpack there, but with knowing Sanji’s past and personality through the animanga, the things that stick out to me most are power, strength, and rebellion. For those who are far enough in the series to know about where Sanji hails from, I’m sure this particular detail will pack a heavy punch for you.

I feel that this is the producers very subtle way of foreshadowing Sanji’s background in a way that isn’t blatantly obvious; from his status as a member of a royal family whom he’s rejected and rebelled against to the trials he’s overcome — strength and power.

It seems to me that this is Sanji’s way of literally sticking his middle finger to his family and saying, “fuck you, look how far I’ve come. You didn’t break me down.” A blow of both wearing a signet ring with his family’s crest (primarily only worn by the patriarch) but also wearing it on his middle finger to signify his strength in the rebellion against them.

The funniest thing is that even if this isn’t a signet ring with his family’s crest, it’s still a way to mock his father in that he was completely disowned by him, but is still donning jewelry that represents the royal power that his father thought him undeserving of.

That’s all, folks! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

A/N: please don’t forget that this is JUST A THEORY that I came up with using legitimate research. It doesn’t mean that it’s true.

I need to protect Uraume from the greater JJK community. People see a character with slightly prominent eyelashes and go “ah yes, a woman” as if there aren’t hundreds of feminine male and GNC characters in animanga media.

Pretty = woman

Ugly = man (or an it)

I got this gender stuff down, it's so easy! Also Gojo is a woman confirmed, I guess. (more trans rep yay) Why is everyone using he/him for her? I thought we were ignoring canon over here.

It's very telling that when people say Uraume is a woman, their only real argument for that is "I just feel like that's what she is" or "she is pretty". Look at those thin wrists, the womanly long flowing robes(?). Obviously a woman, doesn't matter that it's at this point pretty clear that they aren't gendered on purpose. If it was important, we would have at least heard Sukuna address them differently, but that hasn't been the case so far. Nobody has even assumed their gender, only Juzo once said he can't tell and that's all. Considering the official English translator we have, I'm not surprised tho. Well, maybe Enby Whisperer Hakari will have them spell it out for the audience.

Same with people calling Tengen a man, despite her objecting to that in canon and stating their understand of her gender very clearly. People only started respecting that when it got revealed that she was young and pretty at some point. Suddenly they can read again. God forbid we have a gender non-conforming woman* who also ages. "omg she fell off, why does she look like that??" I'm sure these people wouldn't have any hair left in 500 years either and definitely wouldn't rock a suit. They're actually doing really well for herself.

#I feel the same way about people who think its essential that we find out if Kenjaku was born with a vagina or a penis #asks #jjk spoilers #uraume #tengen

— I’ll get straight to the point with this one! I’m looking for a femdom x malesub fandomless plot with me as the femdom!

I’m 25f and live in PST timezone but my sleep hours are really insane so my timezone doesn’t mean much honestly, I write advanced / semi advanced lit usually as I’ve been roleplaying for a decade (started on the warrior cats forums and neopets, anyone remember those sites? lol) but I’m flexible on length as I can mirror though I can be wordy at times but I never expect you to do anything you aren’t comfortable with or able! I typically if not always write in 3rd person and prefer for you to do the same! anyway here are more details about the plot!

- I’m looking to write a female muse that is dominant against a male muse, they can be the same age, or an age gap (either way, the femdom can be older or younger, I enjoy both sides of the age gap as long as my character is the dom!)

- I have no kink limits except for scat. 🍪 🕊️

- as far as plots/settings go I have a few ideas; vampire x human or vampire sire x fledgling, succubus x human, teacher x student (can be a regular school setting or like a mentor and their apprentice in a fantasy or other setting), step mother x stepson, stepsister x stepbrother (or half siblings) madame x male prostitute (perhaps he’s newly acquired at the brothel etc), royalty x servant.

- I will always have a soft spot for fantasy, historical, supernatural, futuristic/cyberpunk or scifi settings as well. but I can def do modern.

- I enjoy power dynamic roles so I’m happy to play the obvious dominant role like the succubus over the human, step mom over the son, and house madame over the prostitute but I also like subverting power dynamics where the one you would think holds the “lesser power” actually holds more- where the student is actually dominant over her teacher, or the commoner is dominant over her prince/king etc!

- I do enjoy pegging but it isn’t a requirement for my female character to do to yours! so if you are into pegging then don’t worry we don’t have to include it.

- I don’t want to talk too long so all of the above is just scratching the surface and I’m pretty flexible as long as I get to play a dominant female character!

- I prefer discord and I can do real face claims or animanga face claims, it’s up to you!

like if you're interested and op will reach out

just in time for their birthday! happy birthday testament <3 to celebrate, i have 8 new comics from Guilty Gear XX Yonkoma Kings translated

{part 1 / part 2}

how to read yonkoma + translation notes under the cut:

how to read yonkoma (aka 4-koma):

translation stuff (not even all about things you need to know, i just like to talk):

remember how i said this is my first time cleaning manga? yea, im still learning and using these comics to experiment with ways of handling sfx and stuff, so if you notice any inconsistencies there, thats why. for now, ive decided id rather not erase sound effects because theyre so prominent in manga theyre part of the art... and also because im lazy, and also because i'm no letterer and shouldn't try to redraw them in english

anyways

("im sorry, forgive me") i know nothing about sports and had to look up "wii sports announcer all voice lines" to figure out what someone says when a batter makes a good hit 😭

("this week's plagiarism") did you know patents are "abandoned" and not "canceled" or "annulled" or something? translation really does make you learn something new all the time

("love") napa cabbage? chinese cabbage? hakusai? i dont know. i dont cook. i just dont know. also, asazuke is a pickling method in japan that's real quick, where you put the vegetables in a sealed bag/container with salt or any other pickling solution and wait for 30 min - a few hours. yakiniku = grilled meat!

("all funny men...") so in the japanese, where i wrote "funny man" the text originally said "boke," and where i wrote "straight man," it originally said "tsukkomi." i'm not sure how familiar everyone here is with comedy routines, but in japan they have a traditional comedy duo thing where one guy (the boke) says something stupid, and the other guy (the tsukkomi) hits him with a fan or etc. very simplified explanation. in the west we have something similar, a double comedy act where one guy (the funny man) is very silly and the other guy (the straight man) must maintain his composure. youve probably seen this dynamic in many animanga and sitcoms

aaaaand... i have a ko-fi, if you feel somewhat inclined to give me $3 for being a nerd about testament and supporting other testament fans who can't read japanese. i'd be really thankful!

that's all! bye for now ^_^

#cici #testament guilty gear #if you can read jp you can find the original text on internet archive #and if you do so can you please tell me if i translated anything wrong #pleeeeease i wanna leeeeeeearn #esp that last comic w the psych burst #not sure if i did smth wrong or if the comic just isnt funny

“ but is it possible, the villain would treat you better than the prince ever would? ”

[💀] — in celebration of me hitting 6k followers, i decided to host my very first writing collab event. i took in deep thought of what did i want the theme to be. i had a vampire event idea, and threw it in the trash. sports anime idea? knew everyone would sign up for hq due to it being the most popular...threw that in the trash too! with the increase of hot villains, i thought...why not create an event writing about the bad guys. so here i am. just want to thank everyone for helping me get to this milestone. my blog anniversary is coming up and i’m just happy to have meet so many wonderful people and write so many wonderful things that people enjoy. i'm super excited to see everybody entry and such.

[💀] — after completing your fic, don't forget to tag me in the fic or private message me the link so i can add the link to the masterlist. also, use the tag villainfuckers.com collab in your first ten tags, so it'll be easier for readers to find your work also if they're interested in reading it. [💀] — last day to join this event is august 12th & it’s no deadline for this event. i decided to change it due to myself also being busy. [💀] — this event is currently closed.

how to enter.

[💀] — just shoot me a message in my ask box stating the villain or villains (plus anime/manga they're from) you would like to write for. if available, you can also include the title, trope, warnings, etc. if you're feeling creative, i would love if you guys sent me who you'll be writing similar to my example below (as if it’s a headline for an actual article), but it is okay if you don't though. do not send your message anonymously, so it'll be much easier to track the usage of one character.

[chrollohearttags]

ranting to y’all this morning bc y’all are my only friends and I hate everybody else :) long winded rant incoming!! I apologize in advance.

realizing I’ve been way too friendly w ppl and bc of that, they feel like they can try me. And then play victim when I bust back For context, I live in a predominantly yt small town and I’ve been here for years. I get along with everybody for the most part and it’s gotten a lot more diverse so it’s not too bad. Esp compared to when I graduated hs. but like a couple days ago, I changed up my hair color bc I was bored and needed sum different. I don’t work in public so it’s not like I have to have a neutral color and I used to wear different colors all the time when I worked at the local grocery store. Point is, im not new to this, im true to this shit. I used to be a walking rainbow. They’ve seen me before. Anyways, I always talk to a lot of ppl that work in the stores, or just passing by. mainly abt anime bc I’m always wearing something related to it (side note: there are like 3 blk cashiers who are in to animanga in my town and it makes me so happy! We always nerd out and shit) but I wore my new hair color out the other day, which is a orange and brown ombré, just to kinda change it up. Life is too fucking short anyways. I’m stuck in the house all day and when I go out, I tend to stick to the same outfits and hairstyles for no reason other than I’m too lazy to dig through my tons of clothes and 30 other wigs. Besides, I’m coming right back to the house anyways and I’m not tryna impress nobody so who gives a fuck. Well this bitch felt the need to ask me ‘is that all you wear?’ As if my lil AOT shirt was bothering her funky ass and she wasn’t even in the conversation b/w me and my fellow blerd brother working the register. To which I ask her are all her teeth really gone at 21 from doing meth? (It was quiet, no back talk then) and then, that same day, these lil snot nose ass kids call themselves walking by me laughing and trying to be funny. Then they tried to grab at my bag and keychains on them. And had the nerve to run behind their dad and play victim, so I told him that if he doesn’t discipline his kids, I’d beat their asses myself so keep a leash on them. And as if it wasn’t bad enough, another bitch made a sideways comment abt how she didn’t expect me to ‘wear something like that’ and I told her thank god it’s on my head and not hers bc I didn’t ask. Saying all this to say that I’m tired of folks trying me and then acting like bitches when confronted. I don’t like being made to be the aggressor bc a bunch of Mayo maggots can’t shut the fuck up and mind the business that pays them. 😭😭 like do not come for me unless I send for you and damn sure don’t try me. I may smile and be friendly but bitch I’m not. I will hurt y’all.

#cherry chats 🍒 #like I really be chilling #and I enjoy the bit of social interaction I get bc it’s hard working from home sometimes (even though I’m never quitting!) #but ffs ion like when I gotta get out of character #like I can’t stand that bullshit #I should be able to express myself just like everybody else #I don’t owe you hoes neutrality to make you comfortable #fuck respectability politics #esp for a town full of ppl that do meth #imma go back to sleep before I get mad all over again lmao

— ★ HEAR THE SEA // USOPP

content: female reader, she/her pronouns, black-coded reader, angsty a lil (self deprecating usopp), fluff - just kissing lmfao

author’s note: thank you for the request @penny44224! i hope this is to your liking 🥹 i kinda incorporated some of usopp’s animanga character traits in this but this is definitely opla fic cos jacob is tew fine

word count: 820

You were at a loss for words when you saw your name etched into the sand.

Usopp was Usopp.

His words hurtling at the speed of light, mouth not keeping up his brain. Babbling excuses.

“Thank you.” You said softly as you crouched beside him. “I love it.”

“Y-you do?” He questioned, mouth falling with an incredulous stare.

“Of course I do, Usopp. You’re very sweet, and brave. And I wish you didn’t get so damn skittish around me. Acting like I’ll rip your head off.”

Usopp blinked a few times at your words.

He let out a sigh as he stood up from the sand, looking out to the sea.

“Have you ever felt it? When you like somebody so much and you just feel like you’ll drive them away.” He asked, not facing you.

You pursed your lips together. You figured it was a better idea to just let him speak without jumping down his throat.

“And all that clouds your mind is every single bad part of you.” His voice cracked.

“You haven’t even given me a chance, Usopp.” You responded in a gentle voice. “You can’t just go ahead and shut the idea of us down…when you haven’t told me how you feel.”

He turned to face you as you patted the space beside you, gesturing for him to sit.

“Cos I know the answer. So just let me know. Is it Zoro…or Sanji?”

“Neither.” You snorted. “It’s you, you fool.”

He froze for a second as if he couldn’t believe what just came out of your mouth.

“…Me?!”

“There’s only one Captain Usopp, huh?” You giggled. “There’s so many reasons to like you. And bad parts, we all have them.”

“But I’m sure even your bad parts are pretty.”

“Usopp!” You exclaimed, feeling the tips of your ears heat up.

“I’m just saying. I’m sure you could do no wrong in my eyes.” He said.

You reached out to settle your hand over his, interlacing your fingers with his as you smiled.

“I wish you saw yourself through my eyes.” You whispered. “I’m sure a day with my point of view would definitely change your mind.”

“…And how do you see me?” He responded, voice low.

“I said it before…but I think you’re brave. I think you’re sweet. And…I find you sexy which is a bonus.”

He was sure he couldn’t believe what was coming out of your mouth. His mouth felt dry, he felt the longer the silence settled over you the more you slipped out of his grasp.

But Usopp never really knew how much you knew him. You were focused on the sand between your toes as you admired the way he scrawled your name with the branch.

The gentle tidal waves swept it away, but it was nice while it lasted.

“Usopp, don’t leave me hanging..” You chimed. He found your voice so alluring, that he almost immediately crawled over to you as if it was by reflex.

“I’m not! I promise..!”

“It’s okay if you’re unsure what to say. These things are always hard.” You said in an attempt to reassure him.

“They are…?”

“Of course they are.” You scoffed. “Putting your heart on the line is one of the most terrifying things. But…I wish you wouldn’t worry so much. I like you the most.”

“You like me…?”

You nodded with an earnest smile.

“You like me..” He repeated struggling to comprehend. “God, I must’ve knocked my head on the Merry or something. This can’t be real. Wait Y/N! Pinch me, okay?!”

You sighed, then twisted his side.

“Not that hard!” He wailed as he scrambled away from you.

“Come back here.” You ordered. “Do you trust me?”

He nodded almost frantically.

“You don’t believe anything I say…so can I show you?” You said.

Usopp was sure he’d died. There was no way this was taking place.

“How…would you do that?” He stammered, feeling warmth rush through his body.

“I think you know.” You said, as your eyes were half-lidded with lust and flitted to his lips.

“God, don’t do this to me Y/N.” Usopp groaned.

“Do what…?” You feigned ignorance as you scooted closer to him.

“You know what you’re doing to me. How am I supposed to think straight?!”

“Stop your whining..” You giggled as you leaned in.

Cupping the side of his face with your hand, you crushed your lips against his. You could feel him tense slightly at first, but when his hand settled on your thigh you could feel he was getting the hang of it.

You pulled away and nudged your forehead against his, laughing breathlessly.

“Do you believe me now, Captain?”

He mustered up some courage and cleared his throat.

“I think I’m gonna need another one. You know…just for reassurance.”

“I’d be happy to.” You grinned, as you pushed him on his back to dive in for another kiss.
