Hello, sorry that it’s kind of a messily stated question but after scrolling through your blog a few times (of very thoughtful and involved analyses, loved reading them), I think to me you’re the most accurate Asagiri interpreter and I am starting to enjoy delving deeper into literature and history myself to understand BSD(and other fiction in general), so I want to ask, how reliable do you think Asagiri is when it comes to various things he outright says and interviews with him? It feels like a lot of things he puts in the story are deliberate but the way he often talks about his work, his manner is, like he’s just including stuff based only on general famous authors’ vibes? I’ve been thinking on it for awhile but especially after the recent Chuo University lecture/interview, where he talked for example how Chuuya and Dazai’s view of each other is simply loathing without any “but” or how he thought chapter 39 might be taken as justifying abuse when I thought it was clearly intended as something deeper and more complex.
It makes me wonder whether I even should delve deeper in themes and references, if even such simple thing as relationship between 2 characters or a character’s complicated past is, it seems, more surface-level than I thought. Or there is more depth to the world and ideas but less to the characters and I am just expecting more from the part that has no need for that.
Maybe I am approaching it in bad faith or missing a big chunk of something, overall I am sometimes quite confused by the author when he speaks on his works, so would be nice to hear your thoughts. Thank you in advance if you’ll take time to answer.
I've found more than once when I've revisited an Asagiri interview that something he's said that I initially interpreted as flippant has, with greater context, adopted more layers.
Like, in the two examples you provided: (1) I do think there is sincere loathing between Chuuya and Dazai, but that doesn't preclude love, nor does love qualify it— if you consider Chuuya and Dazai's communication styles and approaches to matters, they conflict gratingly — but love and loathing also can't exist without the other, and Kafka Asagiri has said quite a lot about Chuuya and Dazai's relationship; (2) many people do interpret Ch. 39 as justifying abuse, acknowledging how he might be misinterpreted isn't the same as his intent, so I wouldn't conflate the two. (Especially considering Ch. 39 is named Portrait of a Father— I recommend skimming the source material to better understand the depth of Asagiri's sincerity in telling that story.)
Which is to say, I think Asagiri's interviews provide valuable insight into his thoughts and process and, for whatever it's worth, I didn't throw myself into the deep end of bsd analysis until I read his interviews and realized how much he intentionally layered in bsd.
But if you're going to lend any credence to anything he says, it's relevant to listen to what he has to say, and be mindful of any language barriers (if there are any) in interpretation.

hello!!
uh if you want (only if you want) can you possibly do a obey me match up for me?
-im super nice to alot of people unless you do really rude things or disrespectful things, I'm somewhat crazy sometimes, I am responsible when I need to be, and I'm assuming my friends would say im chronically online.
-my likes are: Greek mythology (tho I don't know much) I love anime alot, I enjoy writing and drawing, I love swimming competitively, and I love all my friends!
-what i dislike is when I overhear some of my friends talking, and I ask what's up but they either ignore me or say "it's nothing", or when people lie to me. I have trypophobia, which is a fear of small holes, spiders, and probably drowning
-my hobbies are doomscrolling, reading, drawing/writing or playing video games
-love language:
receiving: words of affirmation
giving: gifts or love through actions
-im looking for my partner to understand me and be patient with me, along with being smart and strong as well.
-i would not like diavolo, simeon, Levi or belphie (considering 3 out of 4 my friends simp for and I don't like diavolo)
-i would like someone who's taller than me, I'm 4'11(I think)
and I think that is probably all I can say!
hi id love to give you a matchup:)
Your romantic matchup is…
Solomon!!
- this one was a bit harder but i think solomon would best suit you.
- i think you two wouldn’t have any issues getting along at first. Solomon is polite (he becomes a huge tease when you guys become bros enough though) and i can imagine that he’d leave a pretty good impression on you at first. i don’t see him doing anything disrespectful and ruining that impression.
-i feel like he formally introduced himself as the other human at RAD but you guys didn’t hit it off until he realized you were into video games.
- Solomon is canonically into TSL so we can assume that he’s interested in other video games albeit he probs doesn’t have as much time to play them since he’s busy with Magic LMAO
- I feel like maybe you posted something and there was video games merch in the back or maybe he saw a keychain you had and pointed it out. And since he’s also from the human world, he happens to be into the same video games !
- solomon is kinda like you in the sense that he can be responsible and serious whenever it’s necessary but he can also loosen up at times (through his teasing).
- I feel like he’s also super into Greek mythology so he’s yap with you about it, and if you don’t know much about Greek mythology, that’s okay because he can enlighten you !
- Solomon fits your criteria. He’s strong and smart. He may not have the same inhumane strength that the angels and demons have, but he is considered the most powerful sorcerer to have lived and his power grows by the day.
- I feel like he would make the first move im ngl
- and when you start dating, you can expect weekly sleepovers at the purgatory hall ^^
Your platonic matchup is…
Leviathan!!
- okay im assuming its okay to pair you too platonically (since you only said you dislike Diavolo and your friend likes him) but if not, lmk and ill give you a diff platonic matchup !!
- so Levi might come off a little mean at first because he thinks you’re just some “normie” and he thinks that you don’t want to be friends with him (and that’s coming from a place of insecurity).
- I can imagine that this would leave a pretty bad taste in your mouth since you just met him?? why is he so mean?? but I think once he realizes you’re into anime (maybe you have an anime keychain or plushie and he saw), he might start to realize that you’re pretty cool. I think he would be a massive gatekeeper ngl I feel like he’d be like those people who are like “name three songs by x band” when they catch you wearing a t shirt from said band.
- but I think you guys would really become friends because he accidentally sent a Devilgram reel to you and he meant to send it to Sol LMAO and since you’re chronically online, you saw it before he could delete it. I feel like it was a reel about some video game that the both of you happen to play so you recognized the game and Levi just started to yap about it.
- From then on, Levi would invite you over to his room to watch anime and play new video games with.
- whenever he orders a new game from akuzon, you’ll be the first person he shows and tries it with.
- I can see him being that friend that spams you with 50 reels within the span of an hour LMAO but you match his freak since you’re also chronically online so I can imagine that you do the same!
- omg and whenever you draw, levi will hype you up! especially if it’s fanart of a game or anime character. i can see him reposting, liking, and commenting to boost your account !
Runner Up… Satan

Hiii this is my first time here! im a huuuge fan of all ur work!!! I wanted to say that its very rewarding to see how u improve with each fic. Idk I noticed today with your latest fic, I mean I'm not an expert but I enjoy reading, and I think that in this last work, the rhythm was sensational—VERY, almost hypnotically, SPOT ON. It was HOTTTTTT enough to get u horny, but also tense 😳😳like I was SO mad (in a good way) that it finished like that!! also I really love how you make the characters and their personalities like maybe u have just TWO FICTIONAL CHATS but it is enough to get to know the character and their construction.
This is probably something you've already answered before, but I assume that you are studying smth, what is that? And what are your influences like favourite books? Films?
sorry for my english and the long msg lol SEND YOU KISSES AND HUGS AND ALL THE LOVE!!!!
hi hi :) pls never apologize for ur english ,, !!! even if u send an ask in a diff language,, i will translate it myself <3
thank u for loving n supporting my work !!! thank u for acknowledging my growth ,, truly means so much to be seen . also ,, HAHA love the way u phrase the tension :')
i finished flight school (diploma in flight attending and tourism management) ,, i'm currently finishing up my ece specializing in diverse/special needs (early childhood education) and am a full time preschool teacher ,, however i am transferring to a different program and extending to the child and youth care (social working) ... i want to get my masters in ece when i complete my degree and (hopefully) create a curriculum/program that helps asian families navigate through stigmas and resources for their child/children with diverse/special needs... such as speech therapy, bi work, and parental educational purposes
influences... my own shitty love life lore <3 a lot of the fics i write are literally situations i'm projecting !!!
ie: your universe myg - oc is a preschool teacher ie: bbydaddy yoongi - my friendgroup vibe ie: bed chem jk - jk is based off my friend lol + oc's personality is a lot like mine irl
books; haven't been reading lately but when i was young i really liked jenny han (tsitp) and think i really project my love for cold/quiet/mysterious fictional men cos of conrad fisher LOL
movies/tv shows/kdrama; hard to say... i think i watch just about everything so idrk... i will say tho that i think my early work was inspired by niki/keshi a lot and as of late it's been very sabrina coded ... always ari coded <3
thanks for ur ask !!! this was a cute little get to know me moment ahahaha
mwa !

baby scarab || 53
@yikesitskennawrites - Rough idea of a chapter thing (my dude, I just woke up from my post dinner nap so excuse me): Khonshu uses his god powers to kind of play puppet with y/n and make them fight the moonboys for funsies. Y/n has zero control in their actions and the boys don't want to hurt her so when Y/n comes back to reality (because they aren't aware of it, kind of like blacking out and coming to) y/n finds the boys beaten up because they didn't want to lay a hand on her.
I love your series :) <3
~~~
anon - For baby scarab in maybe one of the chapters moonboys found out reader can play guitar or an instrument or like the drums and there all super shocked bc when she lived alone she had some free time to try something diff so she's kinda good
~~~
@r4tch1ld - Khonshu and y/n watching two birds fight over scrap and being like,...who's gonna win?
~~~
A/N : pls read the announcement!!
masterlist - marvel masterlist - series masterlist
A/N : THERE IS NO MORE SCHEDULE, IM SORRY also thank you all sm for the support and requests :)))
please enjoy, and don't be shy if you want to be in the taglist, just ask <3, sorry for the long wait
pairings : steven grant x (platonic)reader, marc spector x (platonic) reader, khonshu x (platonic)reader, jake lockley x (platonic)reader
TW : medicine (pills), spidey stuff, mentions of violence, language, fighting, nothing else really, crack, let me know if i missed anything.
~~~
it was two in the morning.
how do you know that? it's because you're wide awake.
your migraine has ceased, and now you were just bored.
you would get up and go do something but steven had an arm around you since you ended up falling asleep with him.
and tiktok could only do so much before you got too bored of it.
"spiderling! get up" you hear khonshu whisper shout from the now open window.
"why?" you whisper back, looking back to steven to make sure he was still asleep.
"your friends are quarreling" he leaves back to what you assumed was the roof.
you roll your eyes and look to steven, who was still sound asleep.
you decide you follow khonshu, so you carefully move stevens arm from around you, replacing yourself with a pillow.
you slip out of the bed and watch as steven cuddled a bit deeper into the pillow, making you smile.
making your way to the open window, you start hearing crows cawing at each other.
that makes you smile even wider.
you peek out the window and shoot a web up the brick wall outside, slipping out of the window and pulling yourself up to the edge of the short wall.
you pull yourself over the roofs edge, seeing khonshu perched on one of the huge vents and looking down at something that you can't see yet.
you curiously and quietly approach to see that khonshu was looking down at two crows.
and they were fighting over what looked like half a slice of pizza.
you chuckled, alerting khonshu of your presence. he jumped when he realized you were there.
"still a damn shadow" he mumbles and moves over so that you could crawl up to sit next to him on the vent.
"yeah, love you too buddy" you deadpan, watching the crows fight over the food.
it only takes another three seconds for you to talk again. "who do you thinks gonna win?" you ask khonshu and he tilts his head and hums.
"the one on the right" he decides, and you nod.
"yeah i had my bets on him too. his names charlie" you start. "the other one is elden" you add, and khonshu nods.
the two of you sit in silence, watching the crows until khonshu is the one to break the silence.
"i have a question" he states and you look to him to urge him to continue.
"it was many moons ago but.. i saw something when you and your parents were flailing about in the water" he begins to explain, and you make a face at the wording.
"yeah? what was it?" you ask, getting the idea of what he was trying to say.
he was referring to when you and your parents went to the beach.
"it's about you" he continues as you furrow your brows. "i noticed.. scars. on your back. i'm surprised none of the idiots said anything with how attached they are to you" he finishes and you take a breath.
"..how many did you see?" you question hesitantly.
"four"
"shit" you mutter. "did you tell them?" khonshu doesn't move or answer you verbally, but just by the way he was staring at you gave you your answer.
"khonshu i know you want to help but i really didn't want them to know about those" you start and he looks back down at the birds.
"i didn't want to explain how i got them yet" you ended quietly.
"then i apologize, child" he says a bit quieter, and you can tell by the tone of his voice that he meant it.
you just sigh tiredly and run a hand down your face. "it's fine" you mumble and you both go back to watching the crows.
"i'll tell you who wins in the morning. you should go back to bed" khonshu says to you quietly and you look at him in surprise.
"since when do you care if i get sleep?" you question is all seriousness.
"in my defense, you are cranky when you're tired" he says simply and you nod.
"fair enough. i'll see you tomorrow. night" you hop off the vent and make your way to the edge of the roof, ready to jump back in through the window.
"sleep well, little spector" is the last thing he says before you disappear back into the apartment.
you close the window after you get back inside, to see that steven was awake, and patiently waiting for you.
"i'm sorry, khonshu wanted to show me something" you apologize and steven gives you a tight lipped smile.
"that's alright, just try to get back to sleep" he says in a hushed voice and you nod, laying back down to have steven bring the blankets up to your chin, pressing a light kiss to your head before laying back down himself.
now that's what you would call an under reaction.
if this was marc, he would've lightly scolded you then order you to get back to bed, and steven would've given you some kind of lecture.
but this time he didn't, and you had no clue as to why.
do you just went back to sleep, half expecting to get a lecture in the morning.
~~~
"you need your sleep, kid it's non negotiable" marc shakes his head at your pouting figure.
instead of steven, it was marc. which is so much worse since he doesn't sugarcoat anything.
"well my crows were fighting. and khonshu even said that charlie won" you argue and marc raises an eyebrow at you.
"y/n i'm not joking around" marc says sternly and you look down at your lap, fidgeting with your fingers.
"you need to get at least 8 hours-"
"8 hours? marc-"
"don't interrupt me. you think we don't notice every time you leave, but we do. and we always trust you to come back but you need a better sleep schedule now that schools starting soon" he explains and your eyes widen at the last part.
"school? it's already the end of august?" you ask and marc nods.
"shit" you mumble, which earns you a stern look from marc.
"as i was saying" he begins again. "that also means no more arachnid" you scoff.
"that's not fair" you whine and he just shakes his head.
"i know but you have to finish high school, this is your senior year it's the most important" he reasons and your eyes drift to the open window across from where you were both sitting at the kitchen table.
"don't even think about it" you hear jake warn and you sigh, looking away from it.
"oh please, just let the girl be" khonshu makes himself known.
"no, idiot. this is to make sure she has a shot at a normal life" marc defends himself.
"no. she's going to be bored now" khonshu argues back and looks towards you with determination.
"and if you can't see that this is what she really wants to do then i'll do it for her" he stalks over to you, making you get up from your seat in alarm, marc coming towards the both of you as well.
"khonshu wait-" you hold our your arm towards him to stop his movements.
he just sighs. "i apologize little spector, you won't feel a single thing" he rushes in saying, moving to poke you in the center of the chest with the tip of the crescent on his stick.
nothing seemed to happen after that.
or so you thought.
~~~
third pov
~~~
y/n raises an eyebrow at khonshu, as nothing happened when he poked her with his stick.
marc let out a breath of relief until y/n froze in place, her eyes glowing a bright white for a second before her suit formed onto her.
marc panicked, causing jake to front out of habit.
"khonshu what in the absolute fuck is wrong with you?!" steven exclaims from where he was watching in the mirror hanging next to jake.
khonshu only answered by making y/ns head tilt to the left, right before making her shoot a web out at jake, sticking his arm to the wall.
y/n was in a dream like state, not able to control her own body.
and another thing, she wouldn't be able to remember anything that happened while khonshu played puppet with her.
jake easily ripped his arm from the wall the moment y/n started towards him.
jake wasn't stupid, he knew what khonshu was doing.
now, the bird was planning on fighting them. but only in the way that y/n would.
he dug through her brain to see what kind of fighting moves she used, so all he was really doing was using her body for things she has already done.
khonshu in all honesty wanted to help. he was always stuck up and quite frankly a cranky bitch, but seeing as marc was being unfair he had to do something.
and he knew that not a single one of his avatars and would ever lay a hand on y/n.
even if she was attacking him.
and he keeps being proved right.
she was swinging at jake every moment she could, while he just blocked her fists and tried to lead her away from anything that could possibly hurt her.
but the kick to the shin followed by a punch to the nose made them all finally surrender.
jake had a hand up to block y/n from going any further to which khonshu gave up his short control on the girl.
~~~
second pov
~~~
you blink a few times in confusion, trying to remember when you walked across the room and asked khonshu for your suit.
and that's when you noticed the man in front of you, with a now bleeding nose with a hand out towards you in defense.
you gasp at the sight, your hood and mask disappearing from your face as your eyes widen at the scene.
jake put his hand down, noticing how it seemed like you were back.
"oh my god- what just happened?!" you cover your mouth with both of your hands after seeing the blood drip from jakes nose and onto his shirt.
you rush to the kitchen to get a small towel and running it under water before going back to jake who was now just sitting on the floor.
he didn't know how to explain what had just happened, so he simply stayed quiet while you sat down on the floor as well, adjusting yourself so that you were sitting comfortably on his lap.
after getting all the blood cleaned up, you were just holding the towel to his nose to stop the bleeding.
"i just blacked out and now i'm in my suit, can one of you explain?" you ask into the air and jake sighs, bringing a hand up to brush a strand of hair from your face.
"to put it simple, that bonehead possessed you and you may have broken my nose" he shrugs and tears gather in your eyes.
"i did that..?" you trail off and jakes eyes widen before moving to comfort you.
he needed to stop you from crying, basically.
one time you were upset about god knows what, and jake happened to be the one fronting.
you cried into his chest for like an hour while he just stood there not knowing what to do exactly.
that was more stevens thing. comforting you, that is.
jake tried his best, he's still learning how to 'parent' and all that.
"princesa, it's not your fault. it's khonshus, and i can barely feel it" he shrugs and you see his eyes wander all over your face until furrowing his brows at something.
"and it appears that your nose is still broken too" he points out.
shit.
"what? no it's not" you wave him off.
you completely forgot you broke your nose when your dads almost died.
that night that you murdered that man in cold blood.
shaking your head, you get rid of the memory and keep the towel pressed against jakes nose.
"what did i do?" you try to change the subject, and jake just guides your hand down, taking the towel off his face.
"nothing, just let me fix your nose, hm?" he offers and you frantically shake your head.
"it's fine- i really don't-" jake holds your face still and puts a hand up in surrender.
"listen, i'd rather hurl myself off a building than hurt a single pelo en tu bonita cabeza" he assures you and you just sigh.
"is it gonna hurt though?" you ask and he simply doesn't answer, moving both of his hands to clasp them together over your nose, making sure you weren't going to move to much.
"you ready?" jake asks and you just squeeze your eyes shut, giving him his answer.
"alright, i'll do it on the count of tres" he starts and you tense up.
"uno" he squeezes your nose a bit tighter.
"dos" and then there's a sting and a sickening 'crack' before jake takes his hands away from you.
your eyes watered as you gaped at jake who had an unapologetic look on his face.
"you said on three! you ass!" you exclaim, getting off of him while he just chuckles, staying on the floor until steven decides to take over to get up himself and follow after you.
you were in the bathroom, poking at your now non crooked nose, and seeing steven walk in behind you.
"tell jake he's a bitch" you wipe your watery eyes, as you see jake shake his head in the mirror.
"jake can hear you" he says and you chuckle.
"here, how about we forget about all this and go to town, how's that sound?" steven offers and you nod.
"sounds great, just give me five minutes" you nod to yourself.
~~~
you and steven left the building ten minutes later, due to marc taking over the body and having to fix their own nose before going out.
they couldn't believe they forgot to bring up the fact you'd broken your nose days before.
and now, you and steven were walking contently down the sidewalk, just browsing at all the items in the windows.
and it was one that caught your eye, a f/c guitar sitting brand new in the window.
steven noticed how you halted in your steps for a moment, so he guided you inside without a word.
"steven wait-" you started before seeing all the different instruments inside the shop.
steven simply smiled and followed you as you wandered towards where the guitars were.
you were lost in your own little world as you just stared ahead, running your fingers along the base of one of the guitars that are set up for anyone to use.
"you play?" steven asks when you turn back to him and you nod with a smile.
"i had a lot of free time" you shrug and he nods.
"can we see?" steven questions and you make a face.
"i don't know.." you trial off and you hear both marc and jake start complaining.
"oh come on, we didn't even know you played" marc starts.
"si, why didn't you tell us?"
"because it's embarrassing" you mutter and steven just shakes his head.
"no it's not, is anything it's impressive" he assures you and you just sigh.
he darts his eyes from the guitar to you, so you roll your eyes picking it up and sitting down on the empty chair next to it.
there was a small container or guitar pics on the table next to the guitar stand, so you just waited a second as steven moved a chair over next to you.
you were only doing this because there was literally nobody else in the shop, only the cashier who was listening to music with airpods.
steven had a small smile on his face, watching as you adjusted the guitar so that your arm was resting comfortably, so that you could play whenever you wanted to.
you just decided to play the beginning of 'sweet child o' mine', just in a more quiet and mellow way.
steven watched in amazement as you expertly moved your fingers, holding down the correct strings at the right times, marc and jake staying quiet as to not distract you.
you finished it up after a second and put the guitar back on the stand, and the pic back in the container like you never even picked it up in the first place.
"oh sweetheart, that was amazing" steven helps you up, giving you a quick side hug and a smile.
"thank you" you murmur.
"no really, we had no idea" marc breaths out.
"well, now you do" you shrug and keep looking around with steven.
"is there anything else you're hiding from us?" marc asks dramatically, referring to the instruments in the shop.
you just give steven a look, knowing marc could see it.
"maybe" is all you say before moving on to walk forward again.
the day started rocky and ended the opposite.
marc and you decided you can only be arachnid if you aren't failing any of your classes once school starts, and if you promised to be careful.
oh, and also only on weekends.
being arachnid meant you had to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night, no exceptions or excuses.
you agreed of course, especially because khonshu took over your body and broke jakes nose with it.
he was fighting for you, i guess so it works.
you also had a great time showing your dads that you could in fact play multiple instruments, and they were all very impressed since they had no idea you had even touched one before.
now, you four were all in your little world the whole day.
that means none of you noticed someone following you on the sidewalk and watching you from outside the shop.
that meant you didn't know they also followed you home, and had an entire notebook where they had written every single time you left the apartment.
nobody noticed that they've been watching for a while, not even khonshu.
nobody knew when they were going to strike.
and not even your spidey sense could warn you for what's about to come.
~~~
A/N : omfg im so so sorry it took so long and ITS STILL SHORT
anyways, i hope you liked it and ill see you hopefully in a few days :)) ily all sm

I also wanted to ask something..I'm going to be a doctor, neurosurgeon, and I always try and read stuff on how to understand people w/ different backgrounds, different mind conditions etc, bc I truly want to treat my patients the best way possible, and understanding diff reactions/mindsets will make me a better doc, more able to discern through diagnoses etc. do you know anything you would like every doc to be aware specifically when dealing w/ people with autism? things that would be it better?
BIGGEST THING: dont treat me like a child
i’ve had doctors that went from treating me completely normally and like any other adult switch over to “child talk” and using small, slow words when they found out i was autistic, even though i was doing fine before that
i’ve had doctors have my mother sign consent forms instead of me (which is ILLEGAL) because they assumed i was incompetent and that i must have a legal guardian
i’ve had nurses and others call me “sweetie” and “baby” when they werent calling anyone else that because of my body language
i am an adult. i might not look at you, i might flap my hands. but im an adult. treat me like one
other things:
use the language i use for myself. if i say im autistic, dont say i “have autism”. never ever use functioning labels (i’ve had nurses comment on how “high functioning” i am just because i can talk)
dont mind when i flap, its how i process things. or my body language in general. its different from other people’s but thats okay. just cause im looking doesnt mean im not listening
autistic people can/do react differently to meds than other people, so do your research beforehand and be prepared to know how it’ll affect your patient
we dont always process things verbally. be ready to write things down and come with pictures and diagrams
that’s all i can think of right at the moment but i do gotta run. does anyone have anything to add?? i know i didnt cover nearly everything
