other people's doubts and limits are not your problem

y'all are 10x more quick to believe somebody's limits than you are somebody's success, that's why you're still stuck where you were last year

thank you! and yes ofc, any input is welcome! okay, so i've seen some people talk about how many fics get chuuya and dazais dynamic wrong, but i've not actually seen any specific critiques, so i was wondering if you have any tips to avoid, for lack of better term, to write one of the "bad ones"?

also, i don't have money for the light novels, is it generally frowned upon to write skk without having knowledge of how they are in the light novels? i don't if they're that different, but i've seen comments like "if you just read stormbringer, you'd understand" so just wondering if i'm missing out on A Lot.

and for fic posting, this is not that important, but is there some popular fic boosting tags if i wanted to promote it on tumblr?

oh these are great questions!! lemme try to answer it in an organized way (edit from myself after typing the answer up: i am so sorry for this monster of a post askjdfgh hope it's not too overwhelming 😭🙏)

skk dynamic:

one thing i think is important to keep in mind is that it has layers, and that they're not quite honest in their interactions. a good example for what i mean is like when they're rescuing q and chuuya talks about how he can't stand dazai, but then later when dazai is attacked by lovecraft chuuya is immediately concerned and runs after him to make sure he's okay, being shocked and worried when he sees his arm missing, etc. (dazai is even worse in that regard lmao)

i can speak on my own personal pet peeve with skk fics is where their personalities are flattened, and thus their relationship is as a result as well (for example, reducing chuuya to a tsundere, or making him stupid, while making dazai some dark edgelord etc) this can lead to missing one key thing in their relationship: they're equals

soukoku even just as a fighting duo isn't just "dazai thinks up strategies and chuuya fights", the whole reason they're considered unbeatable to their enemies is because they're both strong - they can both fight, and they're both smart and good at thinking quickly on their feet. it's just that chuuya is better at fighting, and dazai's strategies are more airtight. this way they're enhancing each other's abilities. so, translating that into their general dynamic is also important

another way in which they're equal that i think shows this last part^ even better, and smth that i think ppl tend to miss, is that dazai never really manipulates chuuya or forces him into situations he doesn't want to take part in - he always asks for chuuya's final word on the matter. chuuya follows his plans because he too knows they're likely the best option. this is how they maintain their trust in each other

(honestly the only time i think you can argue dazai tries to manipulate chuuya is in their reunion in the dungeon, but really it's more for shits and giggles on his end, no real malice, and chuuya probably knows that too, i think)

light novels:

first off!! even if you can't afford them, bsd-bibliophile has them right here!!! i really recommend checking it out :)

i don't think you HAVE to read them but like. it's good to know what happens in them at least generally, and it can definitely help the nuance of their dynamic. the sb comment is kind of right bc it helps figuring out one of those layers i mentioned in the beginning

i actually haven't finished strombringer myself hehe but one thing i got from it so far and from reading analysis of it (which can also help if you don't mind getting spoiled!) that i think is important, esp if you're writing about their mafia days, is that chuuya does hate dazai in the early stages of their relationship, but like. because he sees himself in him. and he sees despair he doesn't want to give in to. at least back then, dazai kind of embodies his negative thoughts about himself, even if not literally and just in his mind.

also on a more basic level both of them (tho esp fifteen) offer some shenanigans of them being silly teenagers. also dazai cringe compilation. actually this is an important part of it i think dazai should always be at least a little bit pathetic when chuuya's around (but that might also be just my own personal take :P)

tldr for the light novels thing, i think it really depends on what sort of fic you're planning to write. canonverse, and esp mafia days, i'd say it's fairly important. aus, not so much, but it can help. relationship explorations, probably. silly fluff or pwp, not really. yknow :?

posting:

hmmmmm i don't know any particular tags (except like, basic stuff, fandom / ship / main characters / "fanfiction" / maybe key tropes you're using? tho it's def not a must) but some general tumblr hacks:

posting at the right hours and days helps; around the afternoon or early evening in american timezones, on the weekends, is probably the best time to gain most traffic

use ao3's automatic sharing or post the fic as the link post format, rather than a text post or picture with a link inserted into the text. idk if it still exists, but it used to be that posts with links in the text would be hidden from search results, especially if you're a new blog (i think it was mostly removed but the new blog thing might still be relevant)

don't use swears and esp not "fuck" and its variations in the tags. hides posts from search results (i think "shit" and such is okay?? but i'm not entirely sure so. to be on the safe side, better to avoid) also don't use "nsfw" or any other possibly nsfw tags even if it's needed

speaking of. while it's probably responsible to use community labels. i'm p sure tumblr hides mature posts from search results 😭 i saw artists complaining abt their posts getting flagged and even getting shadowbanned over it iirc so. unfortunately it's probably better to avoid 😔 save the warnings for the fic itself

this might be a bug only i have lol but after making a post with quite a few tags, wait a few seconds before refreshing the tab or moving to another page. i noticed that otherwise it can hide the post from everywhere except your own blog (it might also be only relevant to image posts? but again, to be on the safe side, it won't hurt to do it)

okay i think that's all. i will say that everything i said abt skk might be just my own personal interpretation hehe so don't take my word as gospel!!! i'm sure there are many other fans and writers who view them in an entirely different light, and at the end of the day, it's up to you to choose your own version to write

and with that, i'm also turning this post to my followers, if you want to add anything, or if you have links to good analysis posts that could answer one of these questions, please go ahead! :D

as for you anon, i wish you good luck with writing, and mostly i hope you have fun with it!!! :3 just bc you see some of us complaining abt fics sometimes doesn't mean you should walk into it scared, actually please don't!!! you can do whatever you want really, and i'm sure there will be an audience for your work no matter what you create! <3

#i feel like i definitely missed smth but i can't figure it out now so i hope it's enough anyway 🙏 #mmmmmmmm lemme tag this post for the sake of others who might need it too perhaps #soukoku #bungou stray dogs #ok that's it

“Master,” Obi-Wan called out, eyes wide. There was something in his throat. He swallowed once, twice, and it only lodged further up. “Ma—” When his voice broke he started coughing, the lump in his throat getting sharper and harder.

Qui-Gon was at his side when he next looked up, one hand steadying Obi-Wan by the shoulder as he started to sink to his knees. “What is it, Obi-Wan?”

Dark spots crowded his vision. Obi-Wan could only just barely take short, shallow sips of air, even as he coughed and coughed and coughed, even as Qui-Gon rubbed one hand up and down the quivering length of his spine and did something with the Force to try and—he didn’t know.

He couldn’t breathe.

He couldn’t breathe.

Obi-Wan stared at his hand fisted in the front of Qui-Gon’s tunics. His knuckles were white with pressure. He couldn’t quite feel his hands, all the same, vision dimming and dimming at the edges. Qui-Gon’s deep voice was a rumble just at the edge of hearing. The hand between his shoulder blades—unmoving, now—burned like a brand.

He couldn’t have caught some sort of virus or flu originating on Mandalore. That was just preposterous. Obi-Wan’s biology was perfectly compatible with—

Obi-Wan doubled over and hacked a crimson spatter of blood and matter onto the shining durasteel floor. It was ugly and dark, half clotted blood and the soft tissues of Obi-Wan’s throat and mouth, half—something else. He kept coughing—and coughing—and coughing. Another trail of thin roots, hairy with offshoots and rough with half-dried dirt, followed onto the floor. By now his coughs had taken on a distinctly hoarse sound and they were great, agonizing things, like they were turning Obi-Wan’s lungs inside out with each heave.

also not going into details on fiction vs reality but i'll just say that it's dumb to deny that fiction absolutely can and does affect reality, people who say otherwise just want to avoid any responsibility for content they make/consume

UHG QUICK VENT

I know not being involved in Palestine is easy and there are a million reasons to.

but I want to tell my friends to stop telling me when they go to McDonald's or Starbucks because It just makes me so disappointed.

someone just sent me a thing about Mø, one of our favourite singers, boycotting Eurovision because they allow Israel to participate, but she gets McDonald's all the time.

I don't want to judge my friends but I so badly want to be like !!!!!! so you agree, you think boycotting is important????

UHGUHGUHG HF

it's been months of this and I have to just stay quiet and it's killing me

Who are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite characters of all time, from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series, etc)? Can I ask why you love them?

Once again, this ask is very broad and my memory is so-so but I will do my best. Gonna try to limit my list and list 3 to 5 characters I love from each category.

One disclaimer, there are going to be more men then woman in this list. Simply because between trauma due to bullying and the probable neurodivergence and the laten gender issues I have a super difficult time connecting with woman characters, mostly because I can't let go of what I am supposed to be feeling and process what I actually feel for any given character.

Books:

There is this book called Devil's Footsteps by E.E. Richardson I used to love and still do. And I really love the three protagonist in that book. Especially the main character. A lot of his character is about letting go of his guilty and processing his grief over his brother.

Wylan from Six of Crows. Something about him feeling broken and having all that trauma, and still being kind, still moving forward despite the fact that you are out of your depth.

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice

Stanley from Holes

All my books are put away right now so I can't look them and at this moment I don't rember anything else.

TV Shows:

Spike from Buffy and also Faith from Buffy. I like morally grey characters. I have always found Faith more interesting then buffy (don't hate me) and Spike way more interesting then Angel.

2 Characters from an Italian Tv show called Ris Roma (spin off of another show). A sort of Italian CSI show.

Veronica mars. And Logan Echols from the same show.

The Main Character of a show called Fairly Legal (that show was not good, but I loved it and I am sad it got cancelled). She was a bit of a mix between a layer and investigator and I loved her energy a lot.

Pretty much all the main characters from Leverage, but especially Hardison and Parker.

Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote

Ian from Shameless

Animated:

Daria, because I releated a lot too her, and I admired how strong she was.

a Couple of anime shojo protagonist that I am going to cheat and lump together because I think they are pretty similar. Like Sana from Kodomo No Omocha and Hime-Chan from an anime called Hime-Chan no ribbon. I grew up with those two anime.

Can I say Bugs Bunny, is that cheating?

Zuko from Avatar

Bob and Linda from Bob Burgers - they are very good parents, and they love each other, they are like if the Addams Family wasn't creepy. Does that make sense?

BL:

Takara from Takara-kun to Amagi-kun

Todd and Black from Not Me

King (and Uea) from Bed Friend

Tankhun from Kinnporsche

Heart from Moonlight Chicken

Togawa from Old Fashion Cupcake

Both the main boys from Utsukushii Kare

Ai Di from Kiseki: dear to me

Cheating and saying Tutor from Why R U and Pete from LBC together. Because I am obsessed with Saint range. Watching those back to back is a trip and a half.

Currently some of the boys from DFF (namely Non, Phi and White and maybe Jin) could be on the favorite characters list, but I definately need to see the end before I can say for sure.

First, Zoey and Nonth from Playboyy. Porsche might be getting on the list too. Soong is definately on there.

Thanks for the ask I hope you enjoyed my answears. If you want me to elaborate on any of these characters feel free to send another ask.
