Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud
#atsushi nakajima#ryūnosuke akutagawa#sskk#shin soukoku#bsd#bungou stray dogs#mine#q.#24/10/22#I think it's not even that unlikely to happen either? To name one‚ something of the kind already happened in 55 Minutes#(Akutagawa being assigned to hunt down pm traitors and Atsushi infiltrating in the same group– same target‚ different goals)#I just think fic writers should let go of the trope of them being assigned to the same mission by a collaboration between organizations–#which is‚ let's be honest‚ so unlikely to happen and even in canon was a one-time occurrence#(yet is such a recurring expedient in fanworks!!!) and embrace the potential of Atsushi and Akutagawa being assigned to the same mission–#from their respective organization AS ENEMIES and unexpectedly meeting on the field.#The surprise!!! The romantic tension!!!! C'mon it's so good!!!!!!!#The eventual begrudging come to a temporary accord!! That is something they chose and is not imposed!!#The turning their back to the other last minute to guarantee their own victory!!#The playing everything from the beginning again and again like a loving dance!!! Now THAT'S a good trope.#Sskk typical unconventional mating rituals right here#And since y'all really like matchmaker Dazai you can still have him getting in touch with Chuuya–#and see to which parallel missions Atsushi and Akutagwa can ~accidentally~ be assigned together lmao#Btw this was largely inspired by Sway With Me by atsumara_co on ao3 that fic opened me a world.#The quoted line is partially reprised from that I couldn't help it it's such a great scenario#Usual disclaimer that you should really write whatever you want#this is more of a reflection on my personal tastes based on what I've found to be popular in the fandom#I've already talked about this before like I can't bring myself to hold it against authors because it is an easy way to make them interact.#Still for me it really cheapens their dynamics if you make them repeatedly join forces like it was the norm...#It stripes the value of them being from enemy organizations do you get what I mean?#Kyotag out

i think 2-S is going to inform the ending of Ultrakill. at the bottom of hell... what's left? if v1 kills everything down there, there's nothing left for it. maybe the angels, but only Gabriel seems to be intent on its fate. there's no god, no humanity, no more blood. will v1 accept the end? will it die peacefully? will it go on for something else? we don't know yet, and im incredibly interested to find out.

RIP Krakoa 🌹 I can’t lie I’ve been kinda behind since midway through Fall of X I’m gonna catch up before my first SDCC this summer but I hear Vulcan didn’t see much action anyway. Anyway my hand slipped and I found myself looking into the eyes of my canonically psychotic son the best Summers brother who’s never done anything wrong in his entire life, (he’s done lotsa wrong things but I love him more for it)
#canonically psychotic = he canonically has psychosis. (not in the ableist way in that hes evil. which he is. lemme enjoy problematic rep)#Gabriel Summers#art by seaweed#words by seaweed#X-Men Red#the Gabriel hate during the Krakoa era pffffft. was 100% from ppl who didnt read the Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire#“he attacked Storm” hes also a genocidal dictator who tortures ppl for catharsis. drunkenly coming at Ororo is the least bad thing he did#“he's a douche” mother of all understatements. now get this man back w his boyfriend who he forced to be his best man under pain of death#Gabriel fans LOVE that Ororo beat his ass. he deserved it. it was a fake discourse made up by a certain segment of goddess!Ororo fans#I say as an Ororo fan! Shes my fav A-list x-man🥰 yes Gabe was at a mental low but Ororo didnt know that. that was Scott's responsibility.#psychotic Emperor Vulcan is what we call a problematic mentally ill villain trope. I love him SO much. (okay lets talk)#we don’t know much about his childhood but we do know he spent 2 years in a fugue state after escaping slavers when he was like ten ):#as an “adult”-ish he's uh “mentally” 15 or sumn according to the calculations claimed to him by his hallucination of his actual child self#and apart from THOSE hallucinations. he’s very paranoid to the point of killing his advisors because he becomes convinced-#that they’re plotting to kill him. they aren't. he relies on Calseye to ground him thru his paranoia. and then of course in the Krakoa era#he believes his energy constructs of Petra and Sway who drink with him till he blacks out every single day are real. he isnt consciously#creating them; but he sees them- and bc he’s a godlike mutant his subconscious makes his hallucinations visible. making everyone uncomfy#Charles tries to use telepathy to FORCIBLY reality check him. which of course triggers his trauma. and GABE is punished for it?#(oh plus our finding out Gabe got brain surgery done on him by some gods outside the universe offpanel. he never does well with tampering)#and now the writers who pushed Hickman out (also RIP Sabretooth & the Exiles. RIP Hellions) want us to be SAD Krakoa is gone?#yes Gabriel is the mentally ill villain trope. but Krakoa never cared for mutants who couldn’t fit in. who were traumatized. disabled. etc#Alex OF ALL PEOPLE should understand that. ALEX should’ve been there for Gabriel. (why wasn't he. did he hold a grudge for past torture.)#Alex also w Murder-Enjoying Disorder but it was actually treated as an illness and those in authority presented as wrong for excluding him#instead of helping him. which v flawed but Hellions was one of the best mental illness comics? like Zeb Wells was conscious of the genre#but Gabriel was just… cast out. for panicking when his prime traumatizer Charles invaded his mind. he deserved help too#and all because his family were annoyed at him for drinking all night and throwing up and passing out on the floor? for being delusional?#And like- all of the summers brothers are nd (Scott's brain damage; Alex's dissociative episodes; Gabriel's psychosis)#I have nothing to say about Adam X ((I highly doubt he's neurotypical and/or mentally healthy)) ((nothing to say abt him tho))#and Gabes paranoia is 100% rooted in his issues of being made to feel like an outsider. like YES the obvious MUTANT identity but also#he thinks his father abandoned him to be a slave. he's not Summers enough for Scott. hes not Shi'ar enough for the Shi'ar

Still fascinating to me that there's people who truly think their experiences are universal, that because something is popular in the circles they run in means that everyone should know it and will insult and treat people like stupid uncultured swine for even perceived differences in experiences. or if folks disagree with them when they make overly broad generalizations on what 'everyone' knows or thinks.
(b/c it's not like poor people, people from different cultures/subcultures, and people with fundamentally different interests exist.)
Like? That's complete asshat behavior.

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?
/takes angycat.png typing to my tags
#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ post-it. ] in a way; you are poetry material. you are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out.#[ i'm so tired. i need to write a post on this or something. and somehow add it to my pinned. in some way. ]#[ 'sex' and 'seduction' are /not/ wrong in my opinion. HOWEVER-- they are /very wrong/ if we go by modern labels and perception. ]#[ god the horror of writing a muse that is so interlaced in a modern world; setting and culture but seems to /ooze/ something archaic. ]#[ this level of refinement isn't of our times in my opinion. these things that she loves aren't commonly loved nowadays. ]#[ there's so much about her that is old-fashioned to me and it's so in my face. and yet fanon doesn't see it. ]#[ i can't believe i'm an old millennial who's screaming boomer or older things. ]#[ but like can we acknowledge that sex in today's age isn't the same as it used to be? not /always/ but more generally so. ]#[ can we acknowledge that /seduction/ didn't always mean what people see it to mean now? ]#[ can we acknowledge that the FEMME FETALE TROPE HAS CHANGED /LEAGUES/ since the 2000s? ]#[ which is my biggest beef actually. and maybe all of my frustration plays into this most. it's that the femme fatale now is sexualized. ]#[ while that is /not/ what the femme fatale used to be. kafka plays into the old school femme fatale so well. film noir days. ]#[ i had this same struggle on yelan where they make VERY OBVIOUS draws to it by her music in her trailer. god; the jazz. ]#[ but kafka suffers from this so very much as well to a point where i don't dare to call her a femme fatale because then it's fanon. ]#[ the fanon i hate so much. ]#[ but just uuuughhhh. UGHHH. it's so much to explain. ]

a body in motion - chapter 1
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and, to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

in these trying times (mcytblr sexyman elections) i think it is important to remember that a tumblr sexyman is NOT solely defined by how many bitches they get, nor how physically attractive they are. tumblr sexyman is a trope, and there are a lot of criteria for how that trope fits. however the most important and best rule of thumb is “can you make a how bad can i be animatic with this person” and if the answer is yes, well!

I'd like to issue a formal apology for everyone dealing with my frequent psychonauts postings as someone barely getting into it /j
That being said, my brain has fully switched to early Halloween mode and came up with a Jekyll and Hyde concept involving Sasha (I realize this concept could also work well with Nona) because I'm a sucker for monster transformations and fascinated by the concept of the separation of the self into individual aspects as a physical manifestation
Plus a little bonus werewolf Milla

I am currently thinking about tumblr’s obsession with “came back wrong” necromancy fics, but applying that to the lens of players signing with or getting traded to former teams, maybe even being traded to new teams but with former teammates. Moves that should be a homecoming but they aren’t — things will always carry that faint hint of wrongness. Even when you can go home, you can never go home to the way it was.

At least we know from the episode that Scotland is still a part of the UK in the early 2040s,
given that Aindrea MacRaibert hails from Edinburgh and goes on to lead his party to an overwhelming win, so he’s on track to become prime minister.

I always get a kick out of seeing people tell others to be more on the overtagging side ("Or Else Your Fic Will Never Be Found Ever Again Once It's Off The Main Page!!") because I am and will forever remain an undertagger. I was posting fic before tags were a big thing and I'll probably keep doing it that same way until I stop writing fic, lol.
