While venturing an ancient gem temple, they stumbled upon a modified light that can corrupt humans! Connie was able to fully move Steven out of the beam's range by pushing him off the stairs.

Commissioned by TheTinman1996! Thank you for commissioning!! 😁

There is something so good about Akutagawa--a very much feared, boogeyman like figure (even amongst his own men) in Yokohama because of his violence, bloodlust, and steadfast loyalty to a violent criminal organization such as the Port Mafia--given biblical angel symbolism

I don't know, something something about someone whose beauty is so incomprehensible and terrifying to most. He's not physically ugly, he's not--he's beautiful, the type of beautiful that almost feel as if he's not a real person, like he's a mirage, or a painting. But he's beautiful not like those renaissance cherubs and lovely looking maidens for angels, but more like the biblical angels with their beauty beyond mortal grasp, the beauty that brings fear and revulsion towards whoever sees them because they cannot comprehend it. Coming across him makes you understand why angels say, "Be not afraid" when they reveal themselves to mortals. An incomprehensible beauty that very few can keep looking at. A dangerous feat, literally and metaphorically.

(This isn't only with his physical appearance either--for someone who is constantly beaten down both by canon and by the fandom for being "simple", he is a terrifying bundle of different aspects that contradict each other. Like a super machine you open up and you see the intricate criss crossing of wires and bolts that hold it together. He's a mess of nerves and feelings and experiences so profound, so horrific, that you don't know where to start with him. To uncoil him and see him truly bare is almost impossible. Where does he end and the roots that connect him to the earth begin?)

Something about Akutagawa being an angel, a being created entirely to follow the will of "God", obey their every word. Unwavering loyalty to their master while singing praise. Acting entirely on the order of their master--wing always dipped in blood for his sake. A weapon of "heaven' that brings destruction to those who oppose "God" and be one of the many upon which "God" rests upon.

(Almost everything Akutagawa does is for the sake of the Port Mafia, taking orders from the "master" (boss) himself. Willingness and obedience and loyalty repeatedly exploited and used, everything he has done as one of the high ranking leaders handling most of the Mafia's dirty work playing a part so Mori's throne stays high.)

Something about comparing Akutagawa to a certain archangel, finding repulsion in "God"'s cherished creation, the inferiority that came with being "less" to "mankind", and the painful fall from grace to the deepest pits of despair when he confronts the being that created him, molded him, and then condemn him. And to his humiliation, mankind, for centuries, condemns him too.

(He can't be compared to Lucifer, God's most beloved angel. Maybe Dazai did value him, but it doesn't matter, does it? because the difference between the two is that one was cherished and one never was. However, you can compare the rage and humiliation Akutagawa felt towards Atsushi--for obtaining Dazai's approval and affection with no effort, no proper control over his skill or any seemingly differentiating quality-- to Lucifer's refusal to bow down to humanity--a creation inherently imperfect and lackluster, with not the qualities of angels. And as a result? Disgraced. Both by the creator and by ones that held their creator's favor. )

Something about Akutagawa being an angel--someone whose presence means nothing pleasant to those he appears before. A reaper of sorts, responsible for taking life and for souls to see the afterlife (killing both as an order and an act of mercy, for he despises torture and meaningless suffering). A guardian angel watching over "mankind" from afar, where he is not aware and saving him from certain death at his own expense.

There's just something so appealing about depicting Akutagawa--a fearsome, ruthless, and bloodthirsty mafioso, a boogeyman to his own men--as an angel, be it of death, of mercy, a destroying angel-- whatever anyone wants to see him as and use him for.

shitpost dispatches from guanyin temple & the sangyao dungeons - [10/?]

with the important caveat that no, jgy was absolutely not attempting to kill or harm nhs prior to this moment, but I would bet cash money on him exacting some pretty bloody retribution upon his beloved a-sang if he'd survived the events of guanyin temple (and also I think he would win)

I am so fucking miserable

[ivipl1]

the funniest fucking thing abt me is that i was suddenly able to draw knight armor purely because i stopped treating it as clothes and started thinking of it as a bug carapace. using my own autism against my inability to draw in an instant one hit KO

Concept for a Swap AU

[nexus-nebulae]

what,,,, would be the word for the base joint of a wing

like the base joint for a forelimb is a shoulder and the base joint of a hind limb is a hip. but on im pretty sure All bony creatures with wings the wings just are the forelimbs so I'd guess it'd still be a shoulder. but like what would the word be for like. a human with wings. you can't really just call it more shoulders

it’s  a  bit  grim  to  think  about,  but  the  wanderer  actually  has  some  degree  of  knowledge  when  it  comes  to  performing  MAINTENANCE  on  himself.  learning  how  to  stitch  a  wound  or  stop  the  bleeding  are  rather  basic  skills  anyone  intending  to  live  a  life  on  the  road  would  do  well  to  pick  up  —  and  yes,  he  most  definitely  knows  how  to  do  both.  however,  the  extent  of  what  ren  is  actually  capable  of  goes  far  deeper.  mending  a  hole  in  his  internal  cooling  system  and  draining  excess  fluid?  (  or  to  put  it  more  simply,  patching  a  punctured  lung?  )  been  there,  done  that.  clicking  broken  bones  into  place?  they’re  built  impossibly,  inhumanly  dense;  every  (  rare  )  break  is  a  clean  one  —  he  only  needs  to  set  them  properly.

it  helps  that  his  body  comes  equipped  with  natural  regenerative  capabilities.  every  wound  wanderer  sustains  WILL  eventually  close  without  a  trace.  (  hence  why  he  has  no  visible  scars,  despite  lifetimes  of  battle  and  brutal  experimentation.  )  it  won’t  happen  IMMEDIATELY,  so  getting  injured  is  still  an  inconvenience  —  but  his  wounds  do  heal  at  an  accelerated  rate  compared  to  a  mortal.  provided  everything  is  in  its  rightful  place,  his  body  can  perfectly  stitch  itself  back  together  from  the  very  brink  of  death  in  a  matter  of  days.  minor  injuries  (  cuts,  scrapes  and  the  like  )  have  been  known  to  close  in  minutes.  it’s  probably  been  timed  before.  regeneration  speedrun.

in  essence,  this  means  he  CAN  perform  “repairs”  on  himself  despite  possessing  fairly  limited  medical  knowledge  —  if  only  because  his  body  is  so  obscenely  durable,  it  just  needs  its  pieces  to  be  in  the  right  place  and  it  can  do  the  rest  automatically.

on  a  related  (  though  disturbing  )  note,  what  little  information  ren  did  pick  up  had  to  come  from  somewhere.  i’ve  mentioned  before,  but  he  has  a  slight  phobia  of  SLEEPING  (  namely,  he  worries  a  time  will  come  when  he  won’t  be  able  to  wake  up  )  and  would  never  consent  to  being  knocked  out  if  he  had  a  say  in  the  matter.  which  means  he  was  likely  conscious  and  completely  aware  for  at  least  the  MAJORITY  of  the  horrific  experiments  dottore  put  him  through.  very  fun.  very  pleasant.  very  useful  for  figuring  out  how  his  mess  of  a  body  is  supposed  to  function,  though.

his  pain  tolerance  is  a  disaster.

Do you pay child support on Sir Sparklepuff?

Why would I? It is no child, it is the adult stage. The caterpillar was the child.
