Ryan hums softly as she waits, watching people come and go from the store. She smiled seeing August coming back with the feed and shiftd, looking over as he comes back into the truck. She spots the flowers immediately and smile, “For me.” She takes the flowers and gently brushed her fingertips over the petals. “Thank you.”

Ryan looks out the window and nods, seeing the flowers but she definitely does not need more. She watches him go into the shop and hums softly, smiling to herself. She looks at their bags of things, content with their findings. She hopes, well, it feels like her and August are doing good? Everything new and shiny but good?

She really enjoys their time together, and hopefully August does too.

August meets up with Pete, giving him a smile and order form even though he’s worked with Leo for a long time now.

How are things?

Good, August shrugs, Can’t complain, I guess. Dad gives you his best.

Tell him next time he’s in, I’ll buy him a beer. Just one, he outdrinks me every time.

August chuckles and nods, helps him putting the big bags of feed into the truck before seeing a small cluster of pink flowers. He hums lightly, picking these up and showing them to Pete.

This too.

Pete nods and August gives him some cash before saying his goodbyes, sliding back into the truck.

“For you.” He hands Ryan the small pot.

Goggol and Dostoevsky: Joker’s Wild 

The clown and the rat are set up as yet another Yin / Yang or Double Black pairing in Bungou Stray Dogs. Continuing from my previous post on Jouno and Tecchou, the main conflict between these two characters is a conflict between ideals and bonds. More underneath the cut. 

1. Power of Friendship

Goggol is an interesting twist on the ouble black pairing because he’s introduced to us and the only characterization he’s given is how he would live and die for the sake of his ideals of freedom, however his actions contradict that heavily. When a character’s stated motivation, what they want, contradicts what they clearly need as a person in order to grow this is considered a classic want vs need conflict. 

In the same scene where he states that he wants to kill himself to demonstrate his absolute freedom over morality and any other constriction, he also states that  part of that statement was a lie, and the only one who would ever be able to understand is Dos-kun. This sets up a conflict, one you are not supposed to take Goggol one hundred percent on his words for his stated motivations, because Goggol himself doesn’t quite seem to know. That’s why he frames the conversation as a quiz show, he’s seeking an answer to his question. The second is that goggol’s two primary motivators are in conflict with each other. 

Goggol wants to release himself from the constraints of being human in every way possible, the brain is a cage, bonds with other people are ties that restrain him, and therefore the only way he can choose that is a perfect suicide he chooses himself.

However, Goggol also wants someone to understand his philosophy and the reason why he wants to die, and that same craving for attachment understanding is something that humanizes him and works the opposite of Goggol’s goal. 

Goggol cannot have one, because the two ideas directly contradict the other. He cannot die alone if he has friends. If he has friends he will no longer wish to die. That’s simplifying it but stil, Goggol probably embodies the conflict between living for the sake of bonds and living for the sake of ideals more than any character in the manga, especially since his reasoning is so esoteric and purely ideals.

However, I would argue that Goggol himself falls on the side of valuing his connection with Dostoevsky more than his desire to be free. For the simple reason that Goggol could have had his perfect suicide, and he chose not to die. 

Not because he was afraid to die (though he was afraid to die) but the moment before his death he remembered Dos-kun, and found another reason to live. 

Once again, Goggol’s motivations are esoteric so it’s not quite that simple, but basically Goggol is always trying to work out some kind of paradox in his head. First his conflict was wanting to be understood vs. wanting to die alone. When Goggol realized that someone did understand him, his goals shiftded from wanting to be with the person who understood vs. wanting to kill Fyodor to achieve the aloneness he views as absolute freedom. 

However, the fact that Goggol didn’t die, and conjured another moment to live at the last moment means his arc isn’t a suicide arc. He is probably not going to die. Which means that for Goggol while he utlimately not realize it himself, his need to connect to others and be understood by them is far more powerful than his urge to die for his ideals. 

There are lots of yin/yang pairs but I’m going to compare them to Atsushi and Akutagawa primarily because they are the most developed of the pairs. Atsushi is an idealist, he will sacrifice his life to protect complete strangers and that’s how he receives validation. Akutagawa focuses far more on people and the bonds between them, Akutagawa’s entire motivation revolves around wanting to receive validation from Dazai a person he has history with. In the Beast AU his character entirely revolves around rescuing his sister. All of Akutagawa’s positive character development comes from learning to treat his subordinates underneath him better. Atsushi may be better at playing the hero, but Akutagawa is ultiamtely more of a people person. 

Nikolai is obsessed with his ideals, but ultimately the conflict in his character lies in the people around him. When he designs a death game to determine if he should kill Dostoevsky or not, Dazai even comments that Nikolai is a good friend. In layman’s terms he’s basically designed a BFFS test for Dostoevsky. He wants to prove that his friendship is real, in his own unique clown way. 

2. Power of Ideals 

Fyodor is a much more clear cut parallel with Atsushi because he’s Dazai alligned. I am going to make a statement that sounds 100% insane at first, but please give me a chance to explain. Fyodor’s ideals just like Atsushi’s are entirely built around saving others. 

Not everything about Fyodor’s character has been revealed yet, he’s not Goggol he won’t just tell you about his ideals, but I believe bestowing sin’s is god’s work does such a good job introducing his character that we don’t necessarily need a backstory or a clearly stated motivation to elucidate on who he is. 

First Dostoevsky’s central character trait is he’s an absolutist. He never compromises on his ideals even a little bit, it’s desmontrated not once, but twice in his willingness to murder a child to accomplish his goals. 

This is a bit of foiling with Goggol. They both have twisted ideals but their characters work best, if you read them as one hundred percent committed to those ideals. The child’s thoughts as he dies are who is it that evil can save? 

Dos believes that his absolutely evil and detestable actions are ones that will build a better world, by cleansing it in sin. However, in order to accomplish his cleansing he can’t act like a man with morals. He has to be amoral. He has to sep completely above everyone else’s morality and create his own, he has to become his own god. 

Atsushi, Dazai and Dostoevsky all have characters that revolve around saving complete strangers. Atsushi wants to sacrifice his life to save strangers to demonstrate his life has worth. Dazai will manipulate and use his own friends over and over again, and his motivations aren’t completely altruistic he just wants to find a motivation. He can even be selfish in regards to those he saves, he picks favorites between Atsushi and Akutagawa, even though Dazai stated a good man like Oda would have saved Akutagawa. 

Dostoevsky is an extreme version of the flaws of both those characters. Dostoevsky in order to accomplish his goals is order to disregard the feelings of not only complete strangers, but also his own allies, everyone is subject to becoming a pawn for him so he can assert his own individual will over reality. A god has no need of friends, etc. etc. I dont think Dostoevsky is devoid of friendship and sympathy for other people, he just ignores those things because ideals are more important to him, that’s why we see such a big contradiction in some of his actions.

Dostoevsky says good fortune for this world, a blessing for children, at the same time as he’s shown to be instructing a child to kill themselves for the sole purpose of destroying Kunikida’s ideals and accomplishing his plan to cripple both the ADA and the Mafia. If he’s being sincere here, then his character revolves around the same contradiction as Goggol his ultimate foil. He kills children to save children. He uses abilities to change the world to... rid it of ability users. 

Fyodor believes that the only thing that’s able to fight evil is worse evil. 

Dostoevsky is also working with the leader of the Hound Dogs, Kamui. Who shares a similiar motivation. Kamui has done such evil in the name of protecting order, torturing, and killing innocent people making war to make peace. That he now believes the only way for him to stop the evils of war is to seize ultimate power for himself. To keep the tyranny of the world in place, but to place himself as the leader. Replace rid the world of War to Rid the world of Ability Users and you get the same kind of absolutist ideals as Dostoevsky. 

Both of their characters revolve around the absolute evils that they’re willing to commit in order to achieve those ideals, they frame innocent people, dostoevsky lobotomizes people, mind controls people, kills children, and Kamui has done all the same and only seeks to stop it now. 

However, just like Goggol’s actions contradict his ideals, he says he wants to die alone but he keeps reaching out to Dos. Dos’s methods are in complete contradiction to his motivations. His: do evil to do good philosophy in practice show his actions fall short of his high minded ideals. Especially when in order to accomplish his ideals he manipulates complete innocents like Sigma. 

Dostoevsky’s plans often fail because his ideals are too high minded to be compatible with what is a messy, complicated and confusing reality. His dreams for utopia work against the nature of the very humans he wants to save. Dazai points this out to us. Dostoevsky’s massive blindspot when it comes to the worth of individual human life, which are often the monkey wrench thrown in mot of his plans. 

Dostoevsky like to pretend they’re the most important because they’re chess players who can control the moves on the board, but the actual important people are the pieces on the gameboard because they’re actually out there in the world struggling. 

Which will ultimately be the greatest conflict in Dostoesvky’s arc as well. Will he be a person in this world? Because as ruthless as Dostoesvky is he still has ties to the world, he has both Sigma and Goggol. How the conflict with them resolves will most likely determine Dotsoevsky’s fate. God or Man? We have yet to see.

This addition is fantastic @julesherondalex !! 💕💕 but also

YEET HER THROUGH THE SHADOWS

☠️

Ok but imagine ELAIN was the first to use the term "Kingslayer" like Az was abducted by Koschei or smth and Elain shows up and Koschei's like wtf are you (but like.. he probably knows) and Elain's like "I am Elain Kingslayer, and I am here to free my mate"

LISTEN. I need someone, at least one person to actually acknowledge the canon fact that Hybern is dead because of her and clear up the ACOSF nonsense. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Just one.

i love my job but i dont enjoy living on my sisters bedroom floor

[darkficsyouneveraskedfor]

Steve ties reader to bed and puts vibrator in her and goes off to work. He keeps looking at the live streaming while she's Cumming and squirts.

You never felt more tired in your life. You can't regret the reason and with a full day off you definitely can't complain.

You are groggy thus when the mattress shiftd. The springs bounce and floor creaks. Shadows move and subtle clicks and ticks fill the room. You roll over and bury your head in the pillows.

When you wake next, you're on your back. Your wrists and ankles are itchy. You can't move. Your eyes snap open as Steve pulls on his leather jacket. You squirm and hear a buzz. You feel it.

He smiles as he rounds to the top of the bed. "I'll be home as soon as I can," he holds up his phone and slides his finger up. The buzzing gets firmer. "Until I get back, you'll just have to wait...patiently."

You wiggle and he turns down the speed. You squeak his name but it's more a moan. "You can't..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you," he promises and you spot the cam at the foot of the bed.

"Steve this isn't funny," your anger broke through your dissemblance.

"Oh don't be a bad girl," he presses firm on his screen. "Got another briefing today. Need something to keep me entertained." He chuckles and tucks his phone in his pocket. He nears the door and glances over his shoulder. "Can't wait to watch you cum while Tony drones on."

He doesn't wait for your response and the door clicks shut behind him. The buzz continues on as you listen to him go. You groan and pull against your restraints. Fuck.

14 February 2016 // shiftd just got real

[uschi-the-listener]

if it's okay to ask again, eating healthy is self-care too? do u hav any food and/or cooking tips to share? i want to eat better, i lost weight due to stress then shiftd to fastfd cos sadly it's cheaper & accessble. i rcntly found a more affordable eatery but i'd like to save too. i hvnt got much time to cook but i will try too

Eating healthy is definitely self-care. If you can take a multivitamin mineral complex that will help, too. Eat as much in the way of fruit and vegetables as you can. 

Sweet potatoes, the orange-colored kind, are pretty cheap and high in nutrients and can be baked, boiled, steamed, microwaved, whatever is available for you. Bananas are usually cheap and filling if you like them. Eggs are usually cheap and quick to cook.

Right now, since you are having trouble finding affordable food, eat whatever is available that you like, but remember to eat in the morning so you remind your body that you are going to be okay. 

Whenever you can eat something raw that has not been processed or packaged, that is a good thing. 

I’m sorry your life is so hard right now. Try to avoid white flour, sugar, and too much oil if you can, though I know that those things are usually the most affordable. Just staying alive some days is the best you can do.
