headcanon accepted omg i literally love this sm it's literally such a fluffy wholesome idea omg and the day she spies on akutagawa's day off with the ada she saw he wore the glasses and probably only noticed it the night after after gin said she was akutagwas sister because higuchi was too focused on that mystery when she saw him wearing the glasses but when it does hit her she probably gets so happy about it.

Akutagawa’s off work glasses and Higuchi’s on the job glasses kind of match.

Can you imagine Higuchi buying the two of them matching glasses but never seeing Akutagawa wear them thus assuming he must have thrown them away unknowing of the fact Akutagawa wears them off work (╥﹏╥)

Fanfic Writer Interview

How many works do you have on AO3?

I’ve only been writing fanfic for a few months and I don’t have any that I’m satisfied with/ brave enough to post yet (hoping to post some soon though). But this is fun so I wanna do it for my WIPs anyways.

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

Can’t do top kudos’d fics but some of my current WIPs, all for bsd, are:

A currently untitled AU where Dazai is the head and solitary member of a large, wealthy estate who is growing increasingly disenchanted with his life. This starts to change when he meets and hires the fiery Chuuya to be his maid.

Treading a fine line - A Phantom Thief!Dazai and Detective!Chuuya AU inspired by the Mayoi cards. Chuuya has no clue the infuriating and elusive thief he’s been chasing for months is also the charming (but still infuriating) man he’s been dating and is slowly falling for.

A currently untitled HiguGin oneshot with little plot, it’s mostly just them falling in love. It takes place during/after ch.41 of the manga where Higuchi first sees Akutagawa with Gin and mistakes her for his girlfriend. And Higuchi’s first thought upon seeing them together is ‘Oh no, she’s hot.’

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I will when I finally post to Ao3, because I love when authors take the time to reply to my comments.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I cannot do angsty endings. Angst in the middle is great, but I am very much a ‘happily ever after’ kinda person.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I haven’t finished many fics, but the higugin fic I listed above is two girlies becoming friends and falling in love, so that fits the bill. 

Do you write crossovers?

No, I prefer to take characters from one thing and plop them into the world of another thing as an AU.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope, I’ve only ever posted my stuff on tumblr and yall are so nice here.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I’ve been dabbling in writing smut, still figuring out what kind I like to write.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Can’t steal what's not there hehe.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not applicable

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but would like to at some point.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Picking one is impossible. As bsd is my current obsession, skk and HiguGin. I also love Joker/Akechi from Persona 5 and Dorian/Inquisitor from Dragon Age Inquisition.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

My Yosano/Koyo omegaverse AU where they are alpha/alpha. I LOVE the premise, but haven’t got much of a plot to go with it.

What are your writing strengths?

Hmmm, maybe that I spend a lot of time trying to keep my characters in character. I worry a lot about whether what I’m writing is something the character would truly do or say. 

What are your writing weaknesses?

I need more descriptive imagery, and to explore the characters' inner thoughts more. As I’ve started writing more, that is something I am actively working to improve. And I need to work on the whole ‘show, don’t tell' thing. 

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it’s fun. I don’t tend to do it myself, as I haven’t really written stuff where people are speaking other languages.

What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

I recently watched Arcane and fell in love with all of the characters. I really want to write something for Vi/Caitlyn, I love them alot. And also Jayce/Viktor.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I’m really liking my head of the house Dazai and Maid Chuuya AU. I’ve been suffering from Maid Chuuya brainrot for a while and it’s so fun to put my angry boy in a pretty maid dress. It’s also the first multi chapter fic I’m attempting, so I’m enjoying that process. 

I know we've only interacted like once so no pressure lol, but I know you write fanfic so thought I would tag you @samuraionyourmom

WIP Challenge

Tagged by @kimbapisnotsushi!

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!)

Uh, so a couple addenda. I have multiple files that include multiple fics in them, and most of those are prompt lists; I won’t be including the prompt lists, but I will be including the multi-fic files that are series. And, I normally don’t tag as many people as specified anyway, but 1) I won’t even be counting my WIPs because it’s a lot, and 2) I don’t even follow nearly as many people as I have WIPs because it is a lot. I’ve been writing fic for almost 8 years now, so my ADHD self has naturally accumulated a ton of unfinished fics.

As usual, I’m tagging anyone who wants to do this!

Now, under a read more, because I really was not lying about there being a lot. They’re separated by fandom in alphabetical order (there are 41 total), and to make it a bit more navigable (at least in the browser; sorry, app-users), they’ll be numbered in the "##.” format.

Mori's appearance in this chapter is mostly not about Higuchi. Because it's really the first time when we see him. Chapter 14, «An Unsuitable Occupation for Her».

Harukawa did her best to hide all details. He doesn't even wear his usual mafia-boss clothes. His clothes look like another coat (I don't see collar), and where's his red scarf, and what about the white thing like the one Aku wears? He didn't appear in any of the memories abt pm before ch 14, I checked. But in the next, 15th chapter we see him "for the first time", but authors didn't want us to realize who is he. And in chapter 15 Harukawa doesn't show the picture of Elise.

I think, Higuchi interacts with Mori really often. In one omake she said that boss is the direct superior of her squad (Aku is her own senpai, but she's his right hand). She can object to his words (it's just a detail. She always has her point of view, but sometimes it's incorrect. Ch 14, 41). She can disobey the orders (okay, he planned it in ch 14). She is the one he chose to help him in cannibalism arc, ch 46 (okay, there are also her subordinates in the background probably)

Another point — Mori knows her enough for this dialogue (ch 14). A bit of praise, asking the right question and now she is already motivated to look for the answer and make decisions on her own. He wanted to keep safe both mafia and Aku, so he made sure that she would save him without delay. Something alike happened in Dark Era, when Oda saved Ango.

And he know about her reputation. Subordinates respects Aku because of the strength, not her. It was her time to shine — Higuchi literally has low-key Chuuya' vibes – she's loyal and brave. The scene where Hirotsu and Tachihara tried to stop her looks like the moment from the Dead Apple, look!

Higuchi is strong. Maybe she doesn't use ability. She is weaker than many persons who fight without abilities. Sometimes she's silly, but who doesn't? The one thing that matters — she doesn't give up even when she's scared, even when there's no one by her side. That strong spirit and will! Mori would be impressed.

Even in bsd Higuchi is still a gem for Mori. He cares about her. This girl is a valuable asset and he's encouraging her development.

I like the way Black Lizard chose to follow her — yeah, we're mafia; yeah, our boss didn't order us to attack those who kidnapped Akutagawa, but... we can kill anyone we don't know!

After this incident Mori would probably be like: «oh, they killed your people? I'm so sorry, my idiots can't follow orders from time to time... You need compensation? But I still don't know who it was. I don't even sure it was my people... I didn't order it, I swear.»

Also, this time possible reason why Mori's face isn't in the frames — she can think only about Akutagawa. She doesn't notice Mori)

Thank you for such an interesting topic to ponder and literary context <з And thanks for everyone who read it)

Shortly analysing Higuchi’s and Mori’s relationship

I wouldn’t say this is rlly an analysis but when I was rereading the manga I found something interesting.

This is after the act where atsushi and akutagawa were fighting on the boat, and akutagawa lost. But that’s not what I’m gonna be stalking abt.

What I find interesting is that in none of these panels can we see moris face. In the first one we can see his whole head, but not his actual face, and then we only see certain features like his mouth or eye (plus Elise, cause she’s technically a part of him).

One thing that I have to point out is- we have seen moris face before (I think I’m not sure tho, but still I don’t think it would’ve impacted the storyline a lot). It’s not like Asquith wasn’t showing it because his entire identity is secret. I think it’s more how Higuchi views him- as a powerful man that she knows almost nothing about

Idk if this makes sense but thanks for reading this👍
