a quick scribble of a scene from chapter 20 in this fic by @manofthepipis

(i really hope the colors are as bright to you guys as they are on my monitor lmao)

I NEED NEED NEED TO GUSH ABOUT THIS FIC RIHGT NOW HOLY SHIT

Never before have i actually sat down to read a REAL fanfic until yesterday (And today! I stopped at chapter 6 and read the rest today ^_^). I saw it in the tags of a spamton blog's art and decided to check it out since i had read a really short one without chapters on the site before but MAN was i not ready for this one!!! HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT FANFICS????? I had always heard not so great things about fanfiction (and ive seen that most are ship based and I'm not really into ships with my favorite characters*) so I never really bothered to look, especially since I was usually more into the whole media rather than a specific character. (WHO LET ME GET AWAY WITH THIS??) I used to tease my friend for having 700+ videos saved on tiktok for their favorite actor, (but I TOTALLY GET IT NOW, I WOULD SO DO THAT IF I HAD TIKTOK) Until almost exactly a month ago I developed a hyperfixation on Spamton after learning who he was and watching Jerma's playthrough, and MAN it is SO FUN reading all the theories, headcanons, and peoples analyses of Spamton and his character/story I am totally hooked and I am SO SO SO SO glad this was the first real fanfiction ive read beacause IT IS GREAT!!!! AND I MEAN IT!!! THE CHARACTERIZATION IS SO GOOD AND I LOVE THE VIVID DISCRIPTIONS, I WAS SO SO SO EXCITED WHILE READING THIS ONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ IT IF YOU HAVENT!!!!! I LOVE THE WAY THE CHARACTERS INTERACT AND OF COURSE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SEEING THE HEADCANONS SPEWN THROUGHOUT!!! AAARGH EXPLODES EVERWHERE!!!! thank you SO SO SO SO much for writing this fic and i am SO going to read [[Data Recovering]]!!!

T'is the season! For some Masters Holiday alts, of course. I think Archie would have some strong opinions about the ethics behind arctovish but like if it already exists it deserves a good life nonetheless

[princeofcyberpunk]

so i finished watching a no commentary playthrough of TWEWY a couple days ago. 10/10 story and characters, i literally loved it. favorite character ended up being neku (shocker its almost like hes been my pfps on literally everything for weeks now) but joshua and beat are close second and third. shiki is a lot of fun too :3c. ryhme ;w;. oh my gal ever you did not deserve that i literally screamed. why do they always have to take the autistic coded characters away from me dawg its not fair. ik she makes it out in the end (somehow im still kinda confused but idk probably joshua shit) but still. AND THE REVEAL IT WAS A REVERSE OF HOW THEY DIED,, HOLY FUCK ;w;

currently watching one of NEO: TWEWY so no spoilers. current fav character is Fret he's so fucking stupid. not a think rattling around up there. i could shake him around and just hear a marble or two maybe. if im lucky.

PLUS HIS FUCKING REMIND SKILL SPRITES.

go on bestie use your one braincell you got it,,,, i believe in you,,

Notes on Atsushi Nakajima’s childhood

There's something that has been irking me in the recently days and it comes from the interpretation that some people have about this quote: 

“Compared to what your parents did to you in your infancy, this doesn’t even count as violence”

I want to stick to what Asagiri mentioned in his last interview and I'd say that there is the possibility he  may indeed have read not just his works but he may have read about Nakajima Atsushi’s life and so the inspiration for Atsushi’s life in the orphanage and the quote may have a closer connection to irl Atsushi Nakajima’s early childhood. So, first I'd like to list a summary of some facts about Atsushi's childhood and relationships with his parents, and then moving on the possible connection to that specific quote.

About the author's childhood and teen days

He was 2 years when he was returned to the Nakajima family after his parents official divorce. He has no memory of his mother. In some of the old letters that narrate this episode of his life it's quoted that he whined "where did kaachan go?" 

He was raised in his early years by his grandmother, aunt, and cousins at his father's hometown. His father took care of him when Atsushi was 5 years old.

Atsushi lived with his father and two step mothers during his childhood, but he did not get along well with them.

During his childhood he moved constantly from cities, so this developed in him a lack of sense of nostalgia for his hometown.

Katsu Konya (his 1st step-mother) was a very strict woman, some memoirs of the author mentioned her tying him to a tree as punishment and that he did not received snacks from her but only a caramel. 

During his teen years he got beaten by his father due his rebellious behavior and despise towards his 2nd step-mother.

Some studies consider that not knowing his mother and the distance between him and his father caused Atsushi to grow distrustful of the world. This may be why Atsushi's written works showed a feeling of  "uncertainty of existence" too.

Personally, I believe that the quote is not trying to imply something grotesque per se. I'm aware there's a theory going around TikTok in which the interpretation of this quote has been twisted into something else, but skimming the manga and even watching the anime we get to watch the Headmaster constantly reminding Atsushi he is an abandoned child who may or may not be in fact thrown away by his parents and taken in by the orphanage’s staff,

When child Atsushi is seen crying in those flashbacks he is reminded that he has no rights for crying, because again, he has no parents who can be accountable of him

Some panels from the manga also show the Headmaster reminding him that he has no right of having belongings or a place in this world too, because according to the Headmaster he’s a forsaken child by everyone

Considering one more time the quote: "Compared to what your parents did to you in your infancy, this doesn’t even count as violence”, it feels more like a reminder (from the headmaster's perspective) that there's no other bigger act of abuse and violence towards an infant than "abandonment" from their one very own parents. They were supposed to provide infant Atsushi with a place to call home, love and care rather than just throwing him away in the garbage (as the Headmaster mentioned, but still nothing of that is completely confirmed tho).

Taking into account the author's childhood and going back to each time Atsushi remembers the orphanage and the Headmaster, it feels more like the last one justified the abuse imposed on Atsushi merely on the fact that nothing else can be worse than being thrown away and forsaken by those who brought him into the world. 

Asagiri Kafka commented in that new interview that he reads the written works from the authors as well as he takes inspiration from the authors themselves. As I see it, Asagiri experiments with the work and life of each author he included in bsd and he has this sort of "what ifs" so I don't doubt he has used some nuances of Nakajima Atsushi's life. This may be why he created a torturous past for the character by adding the coming up with the concept of an abandoned child Atsushi Nakajima, a little Atsushi who lived through hell at an orphanage that abused and neglected him based on irl Nakajima Atsushi's early childhood and teen years, where he was in a way abandoned by his mother after his parents's divorce, raised in a very strict environment by his first step-mother and living in a huge distant from his father.

I do recommend checking out the jp article for Nakajima-sensei in wikipedia as well as following the Nakajima Atsushi's Association profile in twitter and in note.
