The joke is that alhaitham will do the stupid grand sage job even if he hates it only because nahida asked him to stay by her side. He is a walking mystery but you can also read him like a book.

Broke: vampires are vulnerable to the trappings of Christianity only, particularly Catholicism, no matter how dubiously applied. (See: Van Helsing's Communion wafer grouting).

Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.

Bespoke: vampires are vulnerable to the faith that they followed when they were alive, and hunters tracking down an ancient vampire are obliged to learn about Neo-Babylonian theology or Middle Palaeolithic bear cults.

Tbh fandom's perception of Mori abusing Dazai is starting to sound outright ridiculous when he's constantly there like “come here son, let me show you the ropes of psychological manipulation... Oh, look at you, you're a real natural, you remind me of myself when I was your age :'))) ”

bungo stray dogs is a piece of media thats so filled with tumblr energy. Its like a collective mass hallucination of famous author fanfiction with just the right amount of derangedness, mental illness, generational trauma and existential crisis. Each and every character gives major gender envy. Everything is enemies to lovers to enemies to freinds to lovers to enemies. Everything the characters do is high-key illegal and everyone agrees that old guys in the government r useless except for this one triple spy who's sleep deprived to a fault. There is a guy who is chronically online and absolutely cannot leave his futon. There's another guy who could write novels in days and is more attached to a racoon than the rest of the world. bram stoker listens to spotify. bsd is the true tumblr-esque media.

Edit: and as it often appears bsd characters become each other's blorbos. They wanna hug each other they wanna see them going through the undying pain of human existence they spin them around in a mental microwave or smth

Edit edit: also tumblrinas love literary analysis and bsd is full of literary motifs

the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!

more thoughts and reacts on luke’s bday2 event story

....or more like just one thought and it overwhelmed me so much cuz cOME ON, THIS BIT HHHHH!!!

like my gosh, dont look at me, im Incredibly Emotional at how his greatest wish is.......so simple

all he wants (and how CN VA says this rlly killed me, it's so sincere and soft and genuinely as if it's like a faraway dream luke has always dreamt of and is so so grateful to be able to experience) is the simple happiness and regular things, like living together in the future. all he wants is the calm and well-worn quality of love sewn through each day of mundanity.

he wants Ordinary and Happy. no more life threatening dangers, or health scares, or grand self sacrifice straight out of a fairytale or a spy movie, none of that. he just wants a normal happy life with the one he loves, living together with 3-4 kids and maybe a dog. luke is gonna be the type to cry when mc suggests they open a joint bank account together and mc is like hUH WHY and luke's genuinely just overwhelmed tht he gets to a point in his life where this is a tiny little normal people milestone he can share with her

it's the whole concept of the peeling oranges thing that i always go feral about, it's a love so ordinary and so small you could place it in the palm of your lover's hand to disappear just moments later but thats alright because the moment in itself, in all its smallness, is added to the lifelong love, okAY OKAY IT'S LIKE....

inherent in the ordinary is transience, yknow. it's ordinary because it happens a lot, and it happens a lot because it has to be over in a bit. every ordinary moment does not last for long.

but if ordinary joys happen every single day while hes at the side of somebody he loves, well, thats exactly the life luke wants and the life he wants to get to

//grabs luke by his stupid bus pattern blocky sweater and shakes him around. YOURE GETTING THAT LIFE!!! YOU'LL GET THERE, YOU'LL GET THAT HAPPINESS SO SOFT AND FAMILIAR AND WARM THAT YOU'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MC MEANS WHEN SHE SAYS YOU ARE SUNLIGHT TO HER SOUL!!!!!!!! ;-;
