I genuinely can't wait for you to get to acts 5 and 6 of Gaiden, those rearranged my brain chemistry forever and gave me 5 new mental illnesses + 2 brain parasites. Asagiri really poured his heart and soul into Gaiden, and it pains me how underrated it is

Yeah. Ayatsuji absolutely fascinates me as a character so far. And I’m really curious about his relationship with Kyougoku. And I know Ango is an important character and Chuuya makes a cameo, so that’s fun. And Tsujimura, while not super interesting YET, is really funny sometimes, and I really like where her dynamic with Ayatsuji is going. Because I know Bsd Gaiden is heavily inspired by Sherlock, and she’s Watson, and that’s always a fun dynamic. But also it’s sweet that he’s like “I don’t want a babysitter” but he actually clearly has a soft spot for her and I think she’s his only friend.

But also there is so much world building in Gaiden. Which is wild bc no one fucking reads it. So yeah it’s very underrated because there is So Much information people are missing out on. Like if anyone ever wanted to know more about the special division, read gaiden.

I just got to a part where they casually mentioned the special division studies singularities. And that Ango apparently knows quite a bit about them (he hasn’t appeared yet but Tsujimura talks about him a lot). Which like yeah, maybe that was obvious, but it’s making things Connect In My Mind. Like that’s probably why at the end of the fifteen light novel it’s revealed that it’s apparently a report Ango was writing for the government. (Which I think might be the reason 15 is written the way it is. Because Ango can see all of their memories so he can get a good grasp of what happened, but the writing is so removed from either Chuuya or Dazai’s actual thoughts. So I’m assuming Ango was approximating the best he could.) Because Ango’s job probably ties somewhat to keeping track of something like a government experiment on ability singularities. Which ALSO might be why they sent Ango to infiltrate the mafia. I already talked about how I think the government sent a spy in after the incident with Verlaine because they brought a lot of attention to themselves but were desperately trying to keep a low profile afterwards. So if it’s related to two human experiments by ability researchers, send in a guy who knows a thing or two about the subject. Also I’ve heard apparently Chuuya says he owes Ango in Gaiden for something in their past, and I think it may be related to that. Like perhaps Ango did something to hide Chuuya from the government, because we know Ango is willing to go behind the government’s back for stuff like that. Still checks out even though it wasn’t hinted at in Dark Era, because it’s not like Oda would know anyways. That man wasn’t actually that observant and he did NOT actually work with them. It’s all coming together. It may not be a fully fledged idea yet but I think I’m on to something.

Sorry I got carried away. Anyways, to anyone else reading this, read the light novels if you can. They’re weirdly essential to the characters and world building.

did yall know cricut put a metal strip in the back of their newer Maker 3 that doesn't do anything except pop out after like six months of regular use and force you to call customer service so they can tell you to replace the machine

well they did and instead of calling them and replacing an entire functional fucking machine you can just cut the bar out and put tape over what's left

fuck offfff,

crazy seeing rightwing people calling the barbie movie anti-men considering i’m pretty sure the “i’m just ken” song did more good for men’s mental health than any number of their shitty little incel forums combined

it's been exactly a year since the last chapter of Operation Walburga's Arbitrary No Kissing Ever Rule and I still miss it. This scene is probably one of my favourite things I've ever written and I've wanted to draw it for forever, so now seemed like an appropriate time

I just like the idea that once Missa hears Phil has another "kid" he'd try and do whatever he can to help and Phil feels emotions about it

[image description: two drawings of astarion and gale from baldurs gate 3 hugging. the one on the upper right side has gale starting the hug, with one arm visibly around astarion, leaning his head into his shoulder. astarion has one arm around gale, the other hand still hovering over his back. his eyes are open and he is not yet leaning in, somewhat aprehensive. the drawing on the lower left is similar to the first one, but this time astarion is also leaning into the hug, with his face smushed against gales shoulder and his eyes closed. next to the drawings are two crops of the lyrics to hoziers from eden, reading "babe / theres something tragic about you / something so magic about you / dont you agree" and "babe / theres something lonesome about you / something so wholesome about you / get closer to me". the whole image is colored in soft greys of yellow and blue hues. end image description]
