Writerfest - Joey’s Interrogation

Tagged by the lovely @thewriterinthecottage , who really wanted to pick my brain and see what kind of writer I am so we can compare notes

Fandom: I’ve written for a few different fandoms in the past; but as of right now, my focus is on Bungou Stray Dogs. I’m not much of a fandom-hopper when it comes to creating content, so you won’t find me juggling a lot of fandoms at once because it’s easy for me to lose track of things that way.

Where do you post? I post on Twitter, Tumblr, AO3 and sometimes my Kofi page. All of those links are in my blog description. Twitter is more for experimental writing and whatever floats my boat, my Tumblr audience gets the best content I curated from my Twitter writing, AO3 gets the best content from both Tumblr and Twitter, and Kofi is there for me to post some wholesome stuff occasionally. So if you want to participate in polls and vote for wacky shenanigans or writing challenges you want me to do, Twitter is my sandbox in that regard while the other platforms get my more polished stuffs.

Most Popular Oneshot: For the BSD fandom, my most popular oneshot was an odazai smut I wrote back in April called Hold Me A Little Closer. I was stressed with my creative writing professor at the time and pretty much wrote this story because I wanted to create something that I wanted to create. I was sick and tired of his assignments and pretty much fueled all of my pent-up creativity and into this lovely oneshot that many of y’all have enjoyed :’3

Most Popular Multichap: For the BSD fandom, I don’t really have one. For fandoms that I’m no longer a part of, I have a few.

Favorite Story Written So far: Hands down, it has to be the grueling and very monostorious fic I wrote back in August for Oda - called Savor The Moment. As of right now, it’s the longest BSD project I’ve ever published and it’s at a whopping 12.5k ish. Oda is one of my favorite characters from the series and what inspired this story was my fascination for Dark Era, my fascination for Oda’s past and where he came from before joining the Mafia, my fascination with his relationship with the kids, the curry shop owner and Dazai, and my love for writing about the weather and food. I wrote, rewrote, edited, and revised this story in the span of a month and of everything I’ve written, you could tell how much love I had for this project and for what I was doing. It’s not an easy read by any means and you definitely have to take your time with it because it dives into light and heavy themes, but it’s a worthwhile read if you really love what I mentioned and want to see how I flesh out Oda.

Fic you were nervous to post: Anything regarding physical intimacy because I don’t get it, but I find it fascinating. As an autistic biroace, exploring physical intimacy through writing is an interesting endeavour and I do believe it shapes how I approach a lot of the relationship writing that I do and what I tend to gravitate towards when I write how comfortable characters are with each other and when they share some sweet or indulgent moments. I wouldn’t say I’m nervous, per se - but as someone who’s exploring topics like this through my own perspective and what resonates with me, it does make me wonder how people not like me perceive it. If that makes sense.

How do you choose titles: I’m not ashamed to admit that I wander through Goodreads and see what titles are being published, find a few that I like, take the elements that I do like, and mesh something together that I find fitting for a story. I like looking at published books for inspiration for titles to see what the trends are and how other writers do it. Sometimes, I’ll use phrases or lines of dialogue from my fic as the title if I find it fitting or I literally use the theme or main message of the story as the title.

Do you outline? I outline enough to know the rules of my story so I can figure how I want to break them (if it’s a multi-chapter project), and I outline enough to at least know the beginning of a story so I can start writing. I struggle with beginnings so knowing how I want to start makes things easier for me. Sometimes I’ll draft what the general path of the story will be, but I always deviate when I’m actually writing because I’m a discovery writer and through the act of writing, I have a much better grasp of what the story wants to be. I don’t care if I deviate a whole lot or if I have to rewrite what I’ve written. To me, that’s just part of my process and I embrace that. I find that I enjoy writing a lot more when I’m loose about these things because that’s where my experimental style really thrives.

Complete: Ever since April of 2020, I’ve made a goal of publishing one fic onto AO3 per month. That’s why I’ve been a productive fic writer this year despite the world going to shit and the Hell that is remote learning. More than anything, that goal has taught me a lot of things about myself that I didn’t know and it’s helped me fall back in love with writing and in me figuring out why I write and what I want to write. Since April of 2020, I’ve posted 18 works onto my AO3 and many more on my Twitter and Tumblr. Ranging from drabbles to ficlets to oneshots and poetry!

In-progress: I’m currently working on a writing challenge that my Twitter followers voted on, and it’s an AU where Oda and Dazai left the Mafia together and burned the belongings that indoctrinated them into the organization -- Dazai burns his overcoat while Oda burns a pair of sunglasses (reference to his original character design where he wore sunglasses ToT). Another fic I’m working on this month is transcribing a poem I wrote in October and making it a full-fledged fic! Once again, it revolves around Oda and Dazai. However this time, they’re an established and domestic couple who’re snuggling under a blanket as winter encroaches upon their futon. That’s a feel-good fic and I’m all for it!

Coming Out Soon/Not Started: I have a TBW (to be written) list that I don’t want to reveal just yet since those fics will come out in 2021, but I can tell you that they’re intricate character studies and of me exploring different relationships and dynamics that may’ve occurred while in canon :3c

Prompts: I fulfilled 10 kiss prompts that I received in October and finished the last one earlier this week or a week ago. With the holidays approaching and with me wanting to finish some stories before 2020, I’m afraid I won’t be taking on any more prompts for this year. However, if you want to prompt me something for me to think about, my Tumblr ask is always open for that or you can participate in my random and occasional Twitter polls where you get to pick what I do for a story.

Upcoming Work Most Excited About: I have a soukoku WIP that I wrote back in September. The first draft is complete. It just needs a lot of rewriting and edits. But when I’m done, that’ll be my longest published work for the fandom. Why this excites me is because it’s the only time I’ll ever write a main pair fic that’s 20k+ in word count and knowing how this fandom views soukoku, I’m interested in what engagement would be like compared to me writing for my OTP and just experience what that’s like.

Sasuke really is a meme-lord! Can I make a request, please? How would Oda + Uesugi-Takeda Forces react to a rather calm MC who suddenly burst out laughing because Sasuke is making memes and vines references? I don't know if I'm clear, sorry ;; I love your writting! I followed you on your previous blog and am so happy to see you find something you love to write about once more. I wish you the best ~

hahah! I love this! Sure~ and I’ll try to implement some of my favorite vines into this! I hope you enjoy, please leave your feedback!!

*** as of now, I will only be doing four of the warlords. This is a recent change that I have made after this was request was sent. I put the warlords through a randomizer to narrow down the four. Please understand why I am doing so. The rules of request have been updated for when they are open again.

REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED

Please enjoy :)

Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, Yukimura and Shingen reacting to a calm MC suddenly bursting out laughing due to Sasuke making meme and vine references

Hideyoshi Toyotomi

Vine Reference: Can I get a waffle?

You’re usually so quiet and timid, so to hear a suddenly shrill laugh from you, he’s kinda shook.

He’s also a little confused on how two men quarreling in the street, prompting your weird landscaper friend into standing awkwardly behind the two fighting, asking for a waffle, is funny.

And then of course, “What is a waffle?”

Your face is really red afterwards, and mamayoshi is suddenly incredibly concerned and panicking over your flushed cheeks.

“It’s just… I don’t like to laugh out loud like that. I don’t like my laugh,” you admit sheepishly.

Hideyoshi is a little bit flabbergasted. He actually loves your laugh, and it was really refreshing, even if he was confused, to see you so happy and bubbly. He wants to hear it more!

“Well, I love your laugh,” he chuckles, brushing a strand of hair behind your ears, “and I want to hear it as much as possible.”

In order to accomplish that, he’s going to be saying ‘waffles’ a lot, because he’s under the impression that word is what made you laugh so hard.

Ieyasu Tokugawa

Sasuke is weird, and by him saying, “It’s Wednesday, my dudes,” none the less on a fucking Tuesday, than screaming like an orangoutang into the air only proves it.

But you are weird too, because you’re laughing at it, and he’s never seen you laugh so uncontrobly as you clutch your sides— how can this be remotely funny?

“It’s Tuesday, idiot.”

However, he’s going to be thinking about it for the rest of the day— not whatever Sasuke said, but the way you laughed.

He’s heard you laugh before, sure, but never like you did for Sasuke just then. And in truth, he feels a little bit bitter towards Sasuke for that, because as your boyfriend, he wants to be the one to make you laugh like that.

Being the wonderful person you are, you obviously can tell something is wrong by he extra grumpy facade Ieyasu has for the rest of the day.

“I’ve never been able to make you laugh like that. I fail to see how saying the wrong day of the week is funny, but clearly to you it is, and I’ve never been able to see that. I guess I can’t help but feel a little jealous.”

You smile lightly, surprising Ieyasu a little as you move yourself to sit on his lap, straddling him. “Ieyasu, trust me when I say, you have said or done some things that have actually made me want to laugh like that. But I always want to stay calm and composed for you. So I promise you next time, I won’t hold back, and I’ll let you see just how much you make me laugh and smile,

“no matter how loud or out of character I might be!”

Yukimura Sanada

Your laugh is so sweet, abrupt as it is, and he’s going to be incredibly jealous and a little upset that he’s been unable to get you to laugh like that.

He may even ask Sasuke to teach him of these ‘vines’ so he can bring out that laugh in you.

“I’ve taught you everything to know, now is your chance,” Sasuke says, fist pumping his b-hef-theft. “Go get her.”

“I’ve got this, I’ve got this,” he’s mumbling to himself.

He approaches you talking to Shingen. You give him the most gorgeous smile he’s ever seen— he wants to hug you right then and there, but he has a mission, and that’s to make his calm and precious girlfriend laugh as hard as Sasuke did.

He takes a final breath, and—

“Yukimura, how are—“

“I’ve never went to Oovoo Javer.”

You… are so shook. The two of you are just staring at each other for a minute as you’re trying to calculate in your head what he just said.

He really thinks he messed up for a moment, but the gods must have been on his side because suddenly you’re howling with laughter, hunching forward to hold your sides, and wiping the tears that have formed in your eyes.

Precious boy is giving himself a little victory pump. And Sasuke is giving a thumbs up from the side lines.

“Never… did I ever,” you say between breaths, “think you’d ever say that.”

Shingen Takeda

Sasuke came tumbling down from the ceiling, with as stoic a face as ever, saying, “Good evening,”

Your calm and quiet persona is one of his favorite things about you. You’re always so relaxed and self-sufficient.

But when he hears you laugh so… booming,

he’s really surprised, and he absolutely loves it.

Like Hideyoshi, and thinking waffle is the key to your laughter, he may fall under the impression that, “Good Evening,” is what made you laugh so much.

But you don’t react to it as much as you did when Sasuke did it. In fact, you just smile and say it back to him with a kiss to the cheek. he loves that and all but he wants to make you laugh.

He’ll probably ask you about it, and you’ll explain the modern day ‘vine.’

If you ever return to the future again, for whatever reason, you’ll show him a whole compilation and everything, and he might find a few funny, but overall, he’ll be more concentrated on you.

The way your eyes just crinkle and your smile widens. And you lean back into him holding your sides. He loves it and he’s never thought you more beautiful.

Omg thank you for your answer *,* I love your analysis ♡ I have I lil one more question of course if you want to answer Could you do Dazai analyse like character or his specific danse , behaviour ? And what do you think about theory that former mafia boss could be his father ? Or why Mori wants him back in mafia and why he thought him so much like I mean there is a lot people in mafia that you can teach such a thing if your are smart enough Thank you for any answer !

I am so glad my analysis was helpful! I usually have a lot of thoughts about Dazai because I’ve read so many of his books and was drawn to the series because of his character (and Kunikida’s character design).

I have received a couple asks about the former mafia boss being Dazai’s father theory (you were the first to ask, but I just had to think about the other stuff for a little while so I got to your ask a little after the others). I’ll leave the links for them here and here. And if you want to look at the Dazai based analyses I’ve written you can find them here.

◇─◇──◇────◇────◇────◇────◇────◇─────◇──◇─◇

Dazai’s Dense Behavior and What Lies Beneath

This is the first thing I thought about. Dazai staring at the sky in a daze. The first time I read this part I thought, “Typical Dazai, slacking off again.” But then later in the story we find out that he was really watching the sky for Atsushi coming with Q’s doll! Just because he looks bored doesn’t mean that what he’s doing isn’t something very important and requires a lot of strategy and concentration. But then he might also be bored because this is far too easy for him? I mean, he an Ranpo did effectively plan the defeat of the Guild in a few seconds while Ranpo snacked, Dazai folded a paper airplane, and Atsushi gave them a very confused look from the doorway.

I have to wonder if Dazai wasn’t trying to appear dense right here so Kunikida wasn’t on to him. He was making a snarky comment about Kunikida’s wearing glasses being the reason he is going to solve the case, but there could have been a serious side to the comment. Dazai is very cryptic. He probably really meant that this was a case that Kunikida had to take the lead on. Knowing him he’d already connected the dots to the Azure King (I mean, he knew that Akutagawa and Atsushi would be the new Double Black from the moment he met Atsushi so this case would have been easy for him to at least know that much from early on). I think he let Kunikida take the reigns on the case as a way to see what Kunikida could do and understand how he works. The light novel the Azure King episodes were based on was actually set 2 years before the current timeline and tells about Dazai’s entrance exam to become a member of the Agency. At this point in the light novel Dazai was not yet partners with Kunikida, so he was trying to figure him out. He was acting dense to 1) keep Kunikida in the dark about what Dazai was really capable of and 2) to stay out of the case so he could watch Kunikida and see how much Kunikida could figure out. Also, I have to add that Kunikida didn’t buy his acting dumb (at least not entirely), which is one of the reasons Dazai respects Kunikida (I mean, he even told Atsushi in the OVA that the only logical choice for the next leader of the Agency is Kunikida).

This is one of my absolute favorite scenes! The whole first half of episode 2 is Dazai acting dense and putting on a show to get Atsushi out of his house and to the Agency for his entrance exam. Most of this episode he is acting dense for that real, significant purpose. But then Kunikida comes up and he purposely misses the point about the accusation that he is the most problematic and unreliable member of the Agency by being comically surprised at Kunikida’s ability to mimic people! This one doesn’t have any deeper meaning, but he does have a pattern of trying to get out of little comments (typically from Kunikida or Chuuya) by playing dumb and drawing attention to anything other than himself. For a brilliant genius he can sure act like a spoiled child!

I have to admit that I was fooled by the whole headphones trick in episode 3. I completely didn’t see it coming when Dazai showed up and revealed that he had planted a listening device in Higuchi’s pocket when he asked her to do a lover’s suicide with him and that he had been listening to her the entire time! Not even Kunikida suspected it (actually, after the Azure messenger incident Kunikida is strangely unable to pick up on when Dazai is kidding or not. There’s the whole hanging health method thing in episode 1, the thing about being too neurotic in episode 2, him being the last to know that Dazai was a member of the mafia…). Anyway, Dazai kept his whole plan and his actions secret even after the enemy had left. He will act like he knows nothing in front of everyone, even his own partner. I suspect that this saves him a lot of trouble in explaining his plans. It’s a lot easier to just do it and not have to rely on others or risk other people interfering.

This is another moment where Dazai is acting obviously dense about the situation, but this time it’s a show of bravado to let Fyodor know he’s onto him. The whole scene is a big game of I-know-you-know-that-I-know-you-know-I-know. Dazai was starting off strong by waiting until Fyodor was looking for where he put his hat only to turn around and find Dazai with a dorky grin on his face wearing said hat. Fyodor knows that Dazai is onto him because Dazai’s got his hat, but I would say it’s a safe bet that Dazai isn’t giving anything else away from his facial expression. He obviously knows something, but how much and what exactly is hard to tell. Dazai uses this tactic of acting like he’s oblivious to keep his plans and intentions a secret. Like Dazai told Atsushi (in the manga scene, it didn’t make it in the anime), what matters is information and the one with the most information will win. He’s keeping his information from the enemy.

Basically, I think Dazai is the scariest and is hiding the most when he acts dense. That’s what is so scary about the recent manga chapters with him in them; he’s so serious all the time. Does he have anything to hide? Does he have a backup plan (or 300)? A serious Dazai makes me nervous because he doesn’t look as confident or relaxed. It makes me think that he really is struggling to know what his enemy is thinking.

◇─◇──◇────◇────◇────◇────◇────◇─────◇──◇─◇

Why does Mori want Dazai to come back to the Mafia?

Mori asks for Dazai to come back the the Mafia as an executive member. It is obvious why he would want to, because with Dazai as his right hand man the mafia would basically be unbeatable. Dazai is the only person who is shown as being able to stand up to Fyodor. Even Ranpo struggles more than Dazai with that, and no one else has even come close to rivaling Dazai and Fyodor’s capabilities. Mori is another one of those characters who has a brilliant mind and is an expert strategist, and he is the one who trained Dazai and should know best what Dazai is capable of. For Mori to ask Dazai to come back over training someone else shows that Dazai really is the only person who has the skills and potential to do what Mori needs him to do. But I think that Mori is kind of tied down by his position as the Mafia boss. Because he’s the leader he can’t make any hasty or risky moves that involve him, the face of the Mafia. Dazai on the other hand doesn’t have that holding him back and he is free to focus only on the task at hand, not what is best for the Mafia as a whole. Of course he’s going to consider that, because Dazai considers everything, but he doesn’t have to prioritize the Mafia the same way Mori does.

Where the confusion comes in is how Mori thinks Dazai left of his own accord and Dazai accuses Mori of forcing him out of the Mafia. Dazai claims that Mori’s purpose for doing so was to get rid of Dazai to protect Mori’s position.

I personally agree with Dazai that Mori forced him out of the mafia. This incident happens at the end of the Dark Era arc when Mori send Oda to his death facing off against Gide so the Mafia can get a Special Abilities Licence from the government. Mori did this knowing that Dazai had been spending time with Oda and also knowing how close Oda was to him. Mori, like Dazai, doesn’t let on how much he knows and acts oblivious. And Dazai is very aware of the fact that Mori does this because he taught Dazai to do it (either explicitly or through example). This is the reason I think Dazai is accurate when he says Mori forced him out of the Mafia because he was afraid of Dazai overthrowing him. Dazai did not agree with how Mori handled the situation and would have done things differently. Because Dazai is the kind of person to disagree with authority, has his own way of doing things, and will do whatever he has to in order to get the results he wants then at some point the only logical choice for Dazai would be to either 1) leave the Mafia like he did or 2) dispose of Mori and take his place. Mori has been in that position because he was the one who killed the previous boss (in front of Dazai, so Dazai could very easily follow Mori’s example), so he understands what is going on in Dazai’s head better than anyone else.

◇─◇──◇────◇────◇────◇────◇────◇─────◇──◇─◇

Thank you for being patient while I was thinking about what to write for this! I can write rather quickly (according to my professors) but I have to think about it a lot first and get my thoughts in order. I hope I answered your questions the way you wanted me to! I never know how far off I go in my musings…

Thanks for the ask! It’s always fun to take a closer look at Dazai and Bungou Stray Dogs!

Okamura Minami "20 Questions 20 Answers" Haro Puro Love Talk!

In 2018, we’re having a celebration of the Hello! Project 20th Anniversary (Hello Love). For the members who belong to Hello! Project, their thoughts on the 20th anniversary activities and enthusiasm for 2018, thoughts of an everyday idol, we had a passionate “20 questions 20 answers” talk~ This time its BEYOOOOONDS Okamura Minami!!

Okamura Minami = Born October 20th 2004. Hometown Osaka.

Q1: Tell us the meaning of your name!

It writes as a beautiful wave. It has various meanings but, to say in a word it means Australia. Up until my big sister was 4 years old they lived in Australia, and they returned to Japan when my mother was still pregnant with me. Therefore, I haven’t lived in Australia but, it’s like the meaning packed into it is “I’d like to live in Australia as the 4 of us again”.

Q2: What senior are you aiming towards?

I really love Matsuura Aya-san. She was the reason I came to know about Hello! Project, and the reason why I thought about wanting to join, I respect her. The first MV I saw was “Momoiro Kataomoi”, I came to know her when I was in upper elementary school. I’ve only seen videos of her but, her impact is amazing. I’ve thought, ‘how cute is she!’.

Q3: Who would you want to be reborn as?

Former Angerme’s Tamura Meimi-san. I got into Tamura-san from watching her in the “Marigold” play. She’s really impactful. I haven’t gotten to meet her but, seeing normal Tamura-san in videos she is really cute. But, when she is performing its completely different. Isn’t acting difficult? I want to know her feelings towards acting.

Q4: What are you the best at in Hello! Project?

I don’t think I can lose towards my love towards animals. I have 3 hedgehogs. I came to like animals from the influence of my cousin, they keep about 50 small animals. My future dream was to become a real idol but, after that I also have the dream of moving to Cairns, Australia and making an animal kingdom.

Q5: Tell us something amazing about Hello! Project!

When you speak of Hello! Project its performances. For those performances everyone is undergoing lessons. I’m not there yet but, everyone has a basic foundation of the movement, so I think it’d be nice to do even more amazing things.

Q6: Who would you want to be in a Hello! Project special unit with?

Since I’m from Osaka, I’d want to do it with those from Osaka, Uemura Akari-san, Funaki Musubu-san, Kishimoto Yumeno-san and Akiyama Mao-san. Maybe it’d come to have a comical feeling (laughs).

Q7: Tell us a BEYOOOOONDS song you like!

I love Ame no Mori Kawaumi’s “GIRL ZONE”! It doesn’t have a smiley feeling at all, it’s a song packed with thoughts of living however free without being bound by rules as a girl. Therefore, after singing it my heart is frazzled. Its like my heart is tired. If I can’t do it properly with the girls feelings, I can’t do it well, that is, it’s a song where when I sing it power is necessary.

Q8: What is a Hello! Project song you like?

Matsuura Aya-san’s “Momoiro Kataomoi”. Its cute as the lyrics have peach phrases. It’s not ‘dokidoki’, it’s a cute ‘kyururun’. Matsuura-san sings it easily but, the melody suddenly goes up and down, it suddenly becomes a difficult song to sing. But, I think that sort of thing is Hello! Project-like.

Q9: What is the difference between current and previous Hello! Project?

In the past it was also amazing but, I think the dancing has gradually gotten more amazing. Now there is a Hello! Project Dance Club, everyone can dance of course, even with those who aren’t in the dance club. The skill level is super amazing. It was originally amazing but, as its been gradually inherited, I get the impression that it has been raised further.

Q10: Other than yourself, who would you recommend as an oshi?

Morning Musume ‘19’s Oda Sakura-san. The way she talks is really cute. She talked with me, and she is really kind. She is really a wonderful person. Singing a sexy song, she is packs it with an adult appeal; her performances are amazing. Her voice is different depending on the song. But, when you hear Oda-san’s singing voice you absolutely know its her. I think that’s amazing.

Q11: What do you want us to see most from yourself?

Energy. I’m always laughing. When people see someone laughing, they’ll end up laughing so, I want you to see that. You’ll smile (laughs).

Q12: What is work you want to challenge?

I’m not very skilled at talking but, I want to try radio. Takase Kurumi-chan and Ichioka Reina-chan have gone on to the radio but, I haven’t done it so I want to try it.

Q13: Tell us something amazing about BEYOOOOOND!

Up until now with Hello! Project, we have been given a lot of songs other idols don’t do, I think the performances have a lasting impression. Our roles are decided for each song; each one of us thinks about it when there is free movement, so that our movement matches the roles. Therefore, I want you to pay attention to each of our movements.

Q14: What will you be doing in 20 years?

Like I said, I want to spend time with animals in Cairns!

Q15: Since it’s the 20th anniversary, tell us a secret!

I like pink, so I like girly things. I have and wear things that are girly, I tend to think about if something is girly; I also often think that is a first impression of me. But, inside I’m not girly at all (laughs). I’m pretty mischievous, it feels like I’m a boy (laughs). I’m always chattering, I’m bad at sitting still. I immediately want to run around, I’m ill-mannered.

Q16: What do you want to be able to do after one year?

I just graduated middle school so, I want to become more dependable (laughs). Since, I think it’s sweeter to listen to my own opinion than just comparing the other members thoughts.

Q17: What would you be doing if you weren’t an idol?

Every week, I think I’d go to Hanazono Rugby Field and watch rugby. Mischievously, it feels like I’d return home all muddy. My father played rugby; when I was small whenever I’d play catch ball with him it’d always be a rugby ball. We’d play and tackle on the futon. Since Japan did well last time in the Rugby World Cup, at that time it made me happy as rugby became famous.

Q18: What are you most into right now?

Watching Tamura Meimi-san’s Trump Series plays and, since I was small I’ve loved foreign films, recently I’ve been watching them a lot. Also, I want to be able to speak English. I want to be able to sing to western music, smoothly read thick books in English, to be able to have conversations with natives; I bought a book and have started studying English using my own power. Separate from school. Also, I’ve been listening to western music so my ears will get used to it.

Q19: Who do you get along with in Hello! Project? Tell us about a recent episode! Other than BEYOOOOONDS, I think I get along well with Funaki Musubu-san. Funaki-san taught me about the stage play “Trump”, the first member I hung out with outside of BEYOOOOONDS was her. Since Funaki-san taught me about the Trump Series plays, I’ll inform her “I watched this”. Funaki-san will see it when I write “I saw it” on my blog, so when I meet her in the dressing room corridors she’ll say “You saw it, huh” and we’ll talk.

Q20: What is an idol to you?

I love them! I admire them. I’ve always been saying that I want to be a real idol, although there aren’t any set conditions on what a real idol is. Probably, when I was small I thought to become a real idol, like…there is something above a real idol. It feels like they’re people who are always evolving. With idols, its like they don’t have limitations, so I want to become someone who can do anything.

Ye Massive Tag-back Post

I have been tagged in stuff. I am slow. Apologies for anyone tagged in this XD

5 facts about me that literally know one needs to know

(tagged by @saizoswifey)

I get weirdly nervous in grocery checkout lines: I have no idea why. I don’t know if it’s like, the feeling of being trapped in a narrow space (if there’s someone behind you and ahead of you), or the like, awkward social chitchat that I am SUPER BAD AT or what but I get weird. I HAAAATE that the nearest grocery store to me does not have self check-out, and I put off grocery shopping to the last minute. I can improvise a speech in front of a crowd of hundreds, I can jump off high ladders, like, I’m not a naturally nervous person I swear I’m not. But grocery stores...

I once broke into an Irish autorepair shop: Sort of. It’s kind of a long story, but when I was a student in Cork like…8 years ago, they told me to stick to the flatlands and I took a wrong turn and got lost up in the hills and I kinda felt like these two guys who kind of showed up behind me were following me. I did the whole ‘take a couple of right turns’ and it went from two to four guys and I was getting more and more lost and just like NOOOOPE. And then there was trash can on fire and so I like, half-slid down a little cliff, and snuck through/over a chained shut fence and into what turned out to be a repair shop. There were three older guys sitting there eating pizza, and they just blinked at me so I burst out that hey, there was a trash can on fire (like that’s a reasonable reason to bust in, right?). They asked me if I was the one who set it on fire, I said no, they gave me pizza, we waited for the fire brigade. GOOD TIMES. That was the start of a super, super weird 72 hours.

I despise bananas in smoothies: DESPISE. They POLLUTE them, CONTAMINATING everything with awful, horrid, banana-ness. They are smoothie-ruiners. RUINERS. AWFUL, HORRIBLE, TERRIBAD INGREDIENTS OF EVIL. I like banana bread, and my mom’s banana cake, and can sometimes tolerate a banana-nut muffin, but they have no place in my strawberry-raspberry smoothies and they are intolerably smushy on their own. SHUDDER.

I have done a lot of super random jobs at least once: I’ve been a chemist, taught ballet to 6 year olds and figure skating to teens with special needs, charity auctioneer, corn shucker, lighting booth operator, teaching assistant, princess, storyteller, tutor, dining hall worker, medical transcriptionist, editor, corporate recruiter, automated tutorial/phone recording voice, corporate trainer, historical docent, term paper writer, contortionist, martial arts event coordinator, bookseller, video game voice, snake venom analyst (really that and perfumer were subsets of being a chemist, but, worth the callouts), there’s more but like, the list is long and random.

Last time I was in the airport a kid told me I was eating string cheese wrong. I told him that’s how string cheese is eaten on Mars. I recognize none of this make sense, it was 5 AM.

I’m gonna tag @han-pan, @karalija, @mylittlecornerofotome aaaand @jane-runs-fast! No obligation >>;;;

2017 Creator Tag

(tagged by @dear-mrs-otome and @wonky-glass-ornament)

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favorite works you’ve created this year (fics, art, edits, etc!) and link them below (say why if you want) to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2017. Tag as many writers/artists/etc as you want (fan or original!) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works. <3

Six Wins and Draw This mostly gets to be here because it had a bunch of characters I had never written before! It was fun to write just a quick few paragraphs (if that) for them. I’d like to do something like this again, because it was much easier than trying to force something standalone for a group I’m not as comfortable with the characterization on.

Compliments I really like fluff. I like communication, and silliness, and sweetness. @juniperotome helped tremendously with this piece, but it really turned out to be one of my favs. I actually prefer this to Burn Down, which was fun and which I do like and was the other contender for this slot, but when I put them side by side, I like this one.

THE WAFFLE COTTAGE CHRONICLES (there’s more) This had been rattling in my head since 2016, but I didn’t post this until January 2017. This was my first headcanon shoving ALL OF THE LORDS into a single story. I recognize that it is very American-mindset-centric, but the sheer satisfaction of brain-dumping the beast was cathartic.I wrote 5000+ words in bullet point form in One Single Sitting and just, it was fun. I still think this is hilarious, even if it has issues.

Lick Your Wounds I still have lingering problems with this piece. And there’s a sort of dual fact thing going on - it could be so much better, but it is also the best that I have done, imo. Those are both facts to me. At this point, it’s a very frustrating piece to deal with XD but even when I am not entirely happy with it, I am very happy and very very touched by the response it has gotten, and so it gets a place. #makepuppyhappy

Scraps UGH THIS FIFTH SLOT. I mean. There’s no question this goes to a Kai group piece. I love writing the Kai group, it’s the most comfortable and it comes the most easily. I don’t like writing modern aus but they just sort of vomit out with these characters in a very love-hate way (I love that they have the opportunity to be happy without the specter of history looming, that’s about it – it’s complicated to explain).

Top 3 Warlords in order: Sasuke Nobunaga Kenshin

Favorite Moment in the game so far OH MAN. HMM. I am going to be unoriginal and echo Mrs O – Nobunaga being a matchmaking troll is A+, but I do also love KEnshin and Shingen’s letter to Nobunaga in the ES where MC starts with them but falls in love with Nobu and they are basically like, be nice to her and let her come visit or DEATH TO YOU

Who has the best hair Masamune (Shingen & Hideyoshi have the worst /sigh)

Which voice do you like the most? MRS O I SWEAR I AM NOT COPYING but Kenshin/Mitsuhide are flat tied. Whispery and low, swoooon

Who do you think you are most compatible with? None of ‘em. I enjoy watching their romance unfold with story MC, but as actual self, there are zero combos that would work out favorably for both parties based on what I’ve seen so far.

Which warlord appeals to your aesthetics? Sasuke. Dude. Sasuke.

Which warlord makes you the most frustrated? Hmmm! Tough to say. Maybe Kennyo? Only because it’s seems from what we’ve seen that he is very much going against himself for some reason, and it’s hurting him and that is silly. Don’t do that.

Who would you swear loyalty to, the Oda forces, the Uesugi-Takeda forces, or Third Party forces? NNNNNGH. Oda. If I HAD to. Only because there’s a stronger sense of long-term stability and history. But ideally, none of the above. I would be NEUTRAL TERRITORY opening up a little seamstress shop somewhere in the middle that also serves tea and everyone is welcome to come have snacks, tea and fittings but only if they don’t fight XD (or at least take it outside, and no one dies)

BONUS: Mrs O’s Q: If you had to tell one warlord what happened to them in your own original timeline, who would it be and why? Nobunaga. Because what happened to him can’t yet come to pass in his timeline, so it’s moot. He’s shown to accept knowledge with aplomb so I don’t think it would send him into an existential spiral. He could handle it.

My question for anyone who does this – Which lord would make the best roommate?

Music Tag

(tagged by @skullbygloy100 @dear-mrs-otome @wonky-glass-ornament)

I only have two ways of enjoying music – passively not even noticing what’s on in the background and actively listening to the same song for literal and actual hours on repeat

Passes by Helen Jane Long – I literally listen to this on repeat for hours. HOURS.

Blood // Water by grandson

Cows on the Hill by Jay Ungar

Nowhere to run by Boga

Todo Comienza En La Disco by Wisin ft. Yandel & Daddy Yankee

Dusk Till Dawn by Zayn ft. Sia – but basically, anything with Sia

Shark in the Water by VV Brown – this is my Yukkin song lolol

Waterbound by the Fretless ft. Ruth Moody

Wait for It by Leslie Odom Jr

Clair de Lune by Debussy – performed by literally anyone

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO ANY OF THE THINGS just tag me <3 And those of you who tagged me - thank you thank you! This was fun

Language: English Published: 2017-01-22 Words: 1817 Chapters: 1/1

Summary:

His name is Sakunosuke Oda. His job is to do the mafia's dirty work. It's a lot less glamorous than it sounds.

The first time Oda sees Dazai Osamu, he's in a corner of Lupin. The same corner he usually occupies because the shadows linger here like memories and without his coat, his dark shirt allows him to more or less remain inconspicuous. It's really rather convenient, though if he thinks about it, he doubts anyone would notice him if he'd worn a clown costume. The mental image almost makes him want to snort at himself, though he opts for sipping his drink instead. (It's not like he truly regrets joining the mafia. He just laments at the lack of honest livings available to child assassins.) Still, being unnoticeable by reputation has its perks. For one thing, he doesn't budge an inch when the door upstairs swings open with a bang, and a far more conspicuous pair make their way down to the bar. The Double Black. Infamous and dangerous, Oda watches their effect from his perch as every other customer leaves (flees, more like). He considers leaving as well, eyeing the remaining half of his drink and wondering if it's worth the risk involved with staying. Several feet away, Nakahara somehow manages to make the mere action of sitting down ooze irritation. "It's none of your business, you bandage wasting freak," Nakahara hisses, and Dazai slides onto the seat next to him with a laugh Oda doesn't need to read into to know is false. "Oh, but Chuuya, it's always my business to know about yours!" Dazai turns on the seat, and Oda stills when that dark eye immediately lands on him. He waits, for something to happen, maybe a comment thrown his way or even a gesture to get lost, but it doesn't come. Dazai's smile, lopsided like the boy is still learning to fit it on correctly, pulls further on one corner, and then the brief attention is gone, directed back towards the red-haired mafioso ordering a drink. They're underage, the both of them. It's neither Oda's place nor right to intervene, and he watches the bartender slip the drinks their way regardless. Funny, he'd never seen the Double Black before, but he does know he hadn't quite imagined them right. For one thing, he hadn't expected Dazai, the mafia's own Demon Prodigy, to be so covered, the white of bandages stark against the darkness of the boy's hair. When Dazai snatches the hat off Nakahara's head, Oda can see bandages peaking out from under the sleeves as well, encasing thin wrists. From the look the bartender offers him, Oda considers leaving once again but ultimately dismisses the option. Doing so now would only draw attention to himself, and he really would prefer not to. He can wait for them to leave, even if by the looks of it, he doesn't think they'll be gone for at least an hour. He's waited for longer, and in far more uncomfortable places. He still knows the feeling of a broken shingle roof, cracked slates catching into him through his clothes as he bears with the sun heating his back and legs past the point of tolerable. The stickiness of his own palms as he forces himself not to move regardless, one eye closed and the other focused on the view his scope offers. Compared to that, the corner of a well-ventilated bar is a luxury. It takes them two and a half hours to leave. Oda spends the time studying the way condensation makes patterns over the glass, pooling around the base to form a ring. He also manages to draw up a mental shopping list, something he'll have to actually write down when he gets home (ideally tonight) because he doesn't want to forget Sakura's crayons. In that time, he's overheard no less than fifteen death threats and insults (Nakahara), twice that many height jokes (Dazai) and the occasional jab at fashion sense (Dazai as well). By the end of it though, the bar counter is somehow still intact and just as polished as ever, and Nakahara is a grumbling mumbling lump that Dazai more or less hauls off the seat, one arm pulled across his thin shoulders. As they leave, he glances at Oda once more and offers that same unsettling Cheshire Cat smile before departing. A threat or a warning, Oda can't tell, but the free drink the bartender slides over is hardly reassuring.

The first time Oda meets Dazai Osamu, he’s certain that the executive had orchestrated it (even if the boy isn't technically an executive- the entire mafia is just waiting for the promotion by this point). He’d been handed a report, informed to deliver it to Dazai’s office, and promptly waved off without a word of explanation. With no other options present, Oda does as he’s bid and tries not to read too much into the strange circumstance. It’s been three days since the bar… incident? No, ‘occurrence’ would be more accurate. Three days since the bar occurrence, and nothing too out of the ordinary had happened, though Oda supposes that the indirect summon might be the ‘out of the ordinary’ thing he’d been waiting for. Fortunately or not, he arrives at the office without incident (even if he spends a moment longer than he normally would studying the two gunmen standing guard on either side of the elevator when it opens with a chime too cheery for Oda to empathise with). Even with the elevator trip up and the ten seconds it takes to make his way to the office in question, he’s no closer to being able to guess why he’d been called here. He ends up knocking regardless, instinctively waiting for Flawless to alert him of any impending danger. As far as life-threatening dangers go, Oda hadn’t expected it to be a paper airplane, floating through the air and appearing only as a sudden flash of white before he feels it tap against his forehead. He blinks, watching it flip backwards from impact and fall to the ground with a soft rustle.

“Bring that here.” Whoever designed the offices for Port Mafia’s executive, Oda hopes they’d been paid a decent amount of money. Any expression Dazai Osamu makes is hidden behind the steepled fingers and the evening light that shines in from the windows behind him. Oda can’t help but feel suitably threatened by the image, even if years of practice have taught his hands to not tremble.

As far as he can tell, the airplane is just a blank sheet of paper. He picks it up, smoothing out a slight bend caused by the fall as he approaches the desk. Dazai doesn’t move an inch, even as Oda sets the report down and the airplane on top of that before stepping back and falling into a parade rest position. “The reports from the Fifth Division, sir,” he says, then adds, “and your airplane." “Sakunosuke Oda,” Dazai murmurs, and the way his name rolls off the boy’s tongue turns the syllables into a tease. Oda blinks, but keeps his expression neutral even as his heart starts to rabbit in his chest. It’s no surprise that Dazai had found out his name. It’s a surprise that Dazai had gone through the effort of finding it out (even if it’s not something he wouldn’t expect from the Demon Prodigy). “Sir.” He keeps his gaze lowered just slightly. Focusing on Dazai’s hands is easier, allowing him to focus on any body cues the executive offers while still maintaining the deference appropriate for his status. "Why you, and not the Fifth Division's Shusaki Endo?" Dazai blinks, and it reminds Oda of a snake right before it strikes to devour the prey. Impartial. No one feels anything towards what they consider as food except for how it tastes. Oda forces the breath in his lungs to still before he lets it out slowly, considering the question. "I don't know, sir," he says in the end. "Shusaki-san informed me that the report was to be delivered to your office and did not provide further information. It was not my place to push for answers." "That's true." Dazai folds his hands over the desk one finger resting on a corner of the report. Oda stares at his chin instead, though without actually focusing on any single point. "The mafia member who won't kill... Someone like you wouldn't be able to show any form of backbone without being at risk." Dazai falls silent, but Oda doesn't pick up the conversation. There isn't anything there to reply too, not when both of them know that Dazai had only been listing the facts. He waits instead, keeping his breathing calm and keeping his shoulders relaxed. Having an Ability that can show him the future that would injure him would be useless if he isn't prepared to react to it. "With a resume like yours," Dazai muses after what feels like an age. "You would be able to surpass even Endo." "I've chosen not to kill anymore," Oda answers the question sitting between them. "I'm happy where I am." He isn't. Not really. He just isn't ready to move on yet. If Dazai picks up on the half-lie, it isn't commented on. Instead, the executive hums softly and seems to roll the answer around like a cat with yarn. Picking it apart and studying the frayed edges. "And why is that?" There's curiosity in the statement, something veiled lingering just behind. Oda presses his tongue to the roof of his mouth, holding back a quick answer. Rephrasing it before allowing his throat to give it sound. "Is that an order, sir?" "No." Dazai smiles, and Oda thinks the boy knows what Oda is going to reply with even before he actually says it. "Then I would like to decline answering, sir." Oda says anyway because it would be rude to not respond. "And if I made it an order?" Dazai leans forwards, cheek resting in his palm. The perfect picture of innocent curiosity... or it would be, if Oda hadn't known better within the first minute of conversation. "Then I would." It isn't his place to disobey. Sometimes it feels as though it never had been and he's only ever been following the directions he's been told to go in, but that's a train of thought to follow another time. Preferably when he can afford to be distracted. Dazai laughs, leaning back into the chair. "That's too easy. That's okay, I'll make you tell me on your own volition one day." There's a promise in those words, one that Oda will have to parse out on his own. "... If you so wish," he says for lack of anything better. It doesn't seem to matter though, because Dazai is still smiling as Oda's dismissed with a wave of the hand. "I'll see you around, Oda," Dazai tells him, and the words are a promise that follow him all the way home.

Bungou Stray Dogs 24 (FINAL) | Flip Flappers 11 - 13 (FINAL) | Classicaloid 11 - 12 | ConRevo 19 - 24 (FINAL)

I’m currently having trouble with Crunchyroll videos, so it may take a while to get to some of their stuff...

Yellow + blue = green, not blue.

Dramatic falls really shouldn’t take that long.

Get out, Igarashi humour.

Oh! Hell~o, Fyodorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Face stealing aliens…again.

Aww…sweet reunions.

Just one word from Dazai and he (Akutagawa) falls backwards, LOL.

Blue background, white and black text. Huh, nice colour palette.

LOL, Ango. You’re back.

Whoa?! Was that in the manga, that Herman was the Guild leader two gens back?!

Smol whale…aww.

Twain, you dumb butt. Stop working on your biography.

Lovecraft’s eyes were showing just as he dove into the water. (sarcastically->) Creepy.

Why a tomato during the “Cheers?!”

LOL, did I only just notice the ahoge on Kyouka? Yeah…I guess.

That was me…y’know. End of 2016 apology?

Ahaha, sweet lil’ Poe. That’s me though.

What a lolicon you are, Mori.

Whose painting is that? But…Dazai, you apparently once did a horrible self portraint…

Fyodor looks so good animated! Aww yeah!

…Dazai, you mean Shin Soukoku, yeah?

“My friend said to me…”

Teni Muhou is, of course, an Oda work,

“See you…” – Huh? This is even more open ended than “See you next level” and such. It’s a complete “in the air” thing! I wonder, since Bungou seems to be very popular amongst the Japanese fans, will we meet again?

Flip Flappers 11

Uhh…what now? I’m so confused…so Mimi = Cocona’s mother and yet a doppelganger of her?

Bu-chan basically wet himself…eww.

That shot of Sayuri, with Hidaka behind her, was vaguely disturbing due to the angle…(By the way, Hadaka = no clothes whatsoever, Hidaka = the name of the pink haired character. I’ve only now made that connection.)

Ick, reaaaaaaaaally compromising shot there between her (Mimi? Cocona’s mother?) legs.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay. Now it makes sense regarding Cocona and her mother.

Honestly, where are all the guns coming from?! Salt probably had one in his jacket but Nyunyu probably didn’t. She doesn’t even have a jacket!

Back to being confused. Meanwhile, Elpis.

Who is Cocona’s dad, by the way?

A middle aged man bowing down to a young girl? Now that, in Japanese culture, is desperate.

Flip Flappers 12

I only just realised when Sayuri said their names, but Papika and Yayaka are very similar names. I hope Cocona never gets confused between the two.

That mailbox looks like a mushroom…or worse…hahahaha. Sorry, won’t tell you what it looks like to me. You’ll have to figure it out for yourself.

Yayaka’s got a lot of attitude – I like it.

Hidaka’s EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss! They’re NORMAL! Dang, the sight of Hidaka’s normal eyes makes my own eyes BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnn! ARGH!

Yeah…one does not simply have an emergency button labelled “Muscle”, ‘kay?

Idiom mode? Someone get these guys a dictionary.

“Why do you wish…”

That was one of the fastest KOs I’ve ever seen of a final boss. Ever.

That hand in the ED (during the part where Bu-chan becomes a duck)! That’s what it means!

My video keeps stopping at weird spots in the next ep teaser, which shows that one of the images is the muscular monster Cocona and Papika kicked the butt off before, but in blue. Another is a mixture of the worlds, but there’s the kanji for “snow” in one corner. One with Papika and Cocona shows that they’re rough sketches for the show. Oh, whatever…here you go. Some screenshots I took for this express purpose.

Flip Flappers 13 (FINAL)

How did she eat the watermelon with all the seeds in it? I once at a watermelon’s black seed at a buffet…and it ended with me barfing! (I haven’t quite liked watermelon as much since and since it was my favourite fruit up until then, I’ve never really been into fruit since. Haha.)

Okay, we still don’t know who Nyunyu is…

Giant artichokes! At least, that’s what I thought when Nyunyu shot Bu-chan’s brain.

Oh my…that’s some fine Salt you’ve got there! (tee hee)

Scary trees remind me of the ED.

Yay! Beast man Uexkull came back!

Bu-chan…he LIVES!

It seems highly likely Salt is Cocona’s father. My brain can’t quite wrap itself around that fact.

Sailor Lune. LOL.

I think “School Investigator” (School Keiji, shown on a wall while Sayuri looks away) is a Sukeban Deka parody.

Cocona’s in middle school now…wow. Time sure flies, doesn’t it?

Welp, that was slightly confusing, but overall a fun ride. Reminds me of ConRevo, which (at the point of typing) I still need to finish rewatching…

Classicaloid 11

It’s a pretty light episode, but considering that there’s (almost) another season left before we wrap up, it’s allowed.

LOL, I can relate, Schu.

This episode is pretty good when it comes to LOLs - I haven’t laughed like this in a while.

The “JESUS!” in the back was hilarious. (Sorry, Jesus.) Speaking of Jesus…I once saw an ad for this, and Asian Jesus? Whoever decided on that?

What song is this one if they didn’t even use a song this ep? A CLA:KLA song?

“Great Bach says…” – Uh, who’s narrating this? Bach himself?

Classicaloid 12

Ooh, serious mode. They haven’t done that since the guitar contest.

Why is Bach speaking normally?!

What was that, with the beeping…? Cho*bleep*, that is? I dunno.

What’s with those dancers and their makeup?

Hmph. Deep stuff, but I get it.

More bleeping…

Turning point, eh? (Plus, badass helicopter ride. LOL.)

Emails? You weak willed…Sousuke, dangit. Plus, does Mitsuru have a Pad-kun or the Pad-kun?

So Bach is white, as well as dark blue? OK.

Oh no. I just had a hideous fantasy of Schu turning into a fish. It’s more likely Schu will get eaten by the fish instead…or something. *shrugs*

(ConRevo 19)

Terra Australis. I know from history lessons that’s Australia. Magallanica is an alternate name of it.

Uh, definitely not true, Mr Abel Tasman my man.

The ice effect is nice.

Oh, “the tall nail gets the hammer” seems to be a scolding regarding tall poppy syndrome.

Issun boshi aka One Inch Boy. Momotarou…is Momotarou.

The tomb exists. by the way.

Earth-chan went “!!!” at the beam of light, LOL.

Raito’s such a fanboy, albeit a subdued one.

The large object is of course a torii gate.

CGI puzzle…? That’s the weirdest thing I’ll say in a while.

How much would an Equus kick hurt to Koma though? A lot…ouch.

Those red flowers…I recognise them, but I can’t remember their name…*searches* Camellia. That’s the one.

Raito’s face…is so off model, it’s disturbing.

Don’t go around underestimating politicians. (I’m still laughing though...just ignore it…)

Renderer Brace = Satomi, obviously.

(ep 20)

It’s the one Urobuchi episode. I didn’t particularly like it, but when you see what I’m capable of today, I acknowledge I am a hypocrite. The lowest of low beings.

Mekong Delta. That outright confirms it’s Vietnam.

I never really realised how I was so insensitive to POSA colour due to ConRevo…

There’s a distinctly different flavour of story here. Fuurouta, for example, isn’t his usual playful self and is merely a very serious messenger.

Kikko is always treated like a child, huh?

Who’s the bigger monstrosity, Jirou or Jonathan?

At a bar. Just like villains normally hide out.

Shellshock…

“National interest”? Global politics taught me that aside from power, national interest is the most paramount thing there is.

El Coco.

The Middle East? Of course, the ol’ fogey saying that isn’t a coincidence, considering 9/11 and such.

“Cursed bogey”? Never heard that one before.

Wasn’t Urobuchi the one who suffered from depression then decided to kill all his characters? Or was that Yoshiyuki Tomino? Update: Yup, it was the Urobutcher I was thinking of, although I got the story wrong.

Those statues seem to be more Cambodia, but meh.

Of course, that’s deinitely the Urobutcher at work now. To think I used to have stories that were similar to his, because I thought I was capable of writing apocaplytic endings and it was much cooler to kill everyone off…huh. Ro.Te.O is such a weird edgelord amongst all of my stories…

Daizoukyoujiyama.

(ep 21)

The Kachoudou sign actually says August 31st, not October.

The sign in the alley said “Ko-ruten Street”, but I’m not sure what that means.

What’s better than plain ol’ sakuga? Sakuga explosions!

“[N]one of the things that try to trap us are gone”? The syntax is funny in that phrase.

Yee-haw! Sakuga fight!

“No one called you.” – LOL, Raito.

Judas smokes now. What has the world come to?

Arakawa, eh? They’re trying to make the oil spill be water under the bridge, so to speak…geddit? Haha. (Update: Arakawa Under the Bridge. That’s what it refers to.)

(ep 22)

Welp, here’s the Show Within a Show episode…take it as you will.

Gigantopithecus giganteus.

Semiconductor processor.

Such irony in the “You’re still a boy” between Maki and Fuurouta.

Who’s the girl with the yellow headband with Judas?

(ep 23)

Sometimes I wonder if we all wake up from our dreams someday…I think even rewatching this show and finally understanding it, I’m waking up in my own way too.

CGI Equus. Dangit, I thought this show was above that by now.

I didn’t think about why the iron plate thingy is shaped like a fish. Then I realised…taiyaki. They’re shaped like fish and have those sorts of moulds. Just as Fuurouta says.

I forgot Raito dies…*sobs*

Oh? What’s this? Not a complete episode yet?...(Eheh, I just wanted a chance to invoke a meme or two.)

One helmet with a streetlight behind it looks like a bomb…

ConRevo 24 (FINAL)

Final ep…again.

See? Jiro does look like Cyborg 009!

Daitetsu has grown up to be the symbol of justice for Japan and Imperial Ads and to tear him down would mean even more blasphemy on the state than before, eh?

Waitasec…Satomi is basically the Fitz (Bungou Stray Dogs), but without the blonde hair and the (fake and/or crazy) wife.

Jirou disappeared just like Devila and Devilo.

Mm-hm. I do like me some good shirtless Judas. *thumb up*

Aww, Daitetsu. Being the Rainbow Knight for a new generation. Isn’t that sweet?

Hope we can meet again soon!
