stop, you're so sweet huhu (⸝⸝⸝╸▵╺⸝⸝⸝) us, just in awe of each other's writing <33 and i certainly wouldn't mind having you drop by in my ask box in the future! 'm looking forward to many brainrot and rambles that we'll be sharing, val! ( ∩´͈ ᐜ `͈∩)
ofc!!! looking forward to it too <33 (on that note, i kinda want to write a prt 3 to my sae fic where it’s just him being sad and miserable???
bsd fic authors i understand yalls pain SO well right now why is it so fucking HARD to write dazai. like i have a whole fucking spreadsheet dedicated to tireless analysis i have done on my part so i can accurately characterize him but he is such an unpredictable and morally gray character that it's hard knowing his limits and boundaries and where he draws the line for himself.
I am baffled by the person who just left an anon comment on my Feydpaul fic saying they "can't believe" I would write sadist!Feyd without tagging for OOC based on 2024 FILM CANON.
My brother in Christ, that nasty bald freak makes his brother kiss his shoe under threat of death and then cooks a POW to death with a flame thrower.
a comic about loop. i've put it under the cut for end-of-game secret spoilers!
closeups and some notes
the big panel on the first page is the one that i started out wanting to do as an illustration but i was like 'wait i want a bit of dialogue too' and so i was gonna do a one page comic but the timing of it didn't work out so it became two pages and since i wanted to do an illustration in the first place i ended up rendering the whole thing like one. don't particularly recommend.
i didn't eyedrop any of the colors, everything was just done with. like. black at varying levels of opacity (lol lol) so i was just eyeballing it, my hope is that i didn't whitewash anybody but if i did feel free to let me know and i'll edit it
the one in the back in the fireplace scene is nille of course. the n on her apron was sewn by bonnie who did their best
the scarf was knit by odile to give loop something to hide their face with and also 'coincidentally' so she could practice working craft into stitches
lulu and bumblebee as nicknames were stolen from future chapters of my fic and there is also secret shameless isiloop woven into this because it's me <3 only a little bit though haha
thank you as always to @insertdisc5 for these amazing characters and story! i've done more art in the past month and a half than i have in years it's wild
Gaz is obviously really nice and sweet and lovely but he also does give me the vibe of someone who like, if you were with a group of people jumping off somewhere high into water and you were scared and hesitating he'd absolutely delight in shoving you in. Like you come up later yelling at him and he goes 'i was just trying to help you!!! I'm sorry :(!!!' but he's not. He will take more opportunities to scare the shit out of you just to hear you squeal. The sooner you catch on the sooner you can put a stop to it because he doesn't want you to think he's mean or anything... He's not, but he's just the slightest bit of a sadist.
with gojo, geto and even kenjaku dead, do you think satosugu's story is completely over? because for me personally, if this is the end of their story, it feels kinda unsatisfactory and inconclusive. i hope we get more content and there are so many questions about their story that still need to be answered. i dont expect gojo's censored last words to geto to be revealed ever but i hope we get at least a somewhat conclusive ending.....
Their story had a conclusive ending, they're not the main characters so no matter how much we crave for more bits of satosugu this is what we have and this is how they ended. I don't necessarily find it unsatisfactory considering both of them served their purposes and we got another top notch satosugu angsty crumb till gojo's last breath (that panel of him saying "my only disappointment is that you weren't there to give a slap on the back" and geto's tears). I don't think we should drag it out or find any other means to insert more stsg when it isn't even their story, sad but true. This is it for us, they happened, it was beautiful and then it ended.
okay but you can't tell me daddy dazai isn't GREAT at aftercare. he can take you apart and put you back together again and he loves to spoil and coddle you too. <3
with you, yes, absolutely 100%!!!! he would be the fucking sweetest and he’d already have multiple potential care plans in place before you even begin the scene, each tailored to a specific outcome—the ways he thinks you’re most likely to react by the time the scene is over, with a few of them branching out into sub-plans based on what turns the scene may take as it develops. each aftercare plan is attuned to what he knows your specific set of needs will be by the end of him fucking you into the prettiest shattered shards of yourself. if the session ends up being purely psychological torture then you can bet your ass he’s got a whole novels-worth of words of affirmation written on the walls of his skull, just waiting to be spoken to you. if the session is more physical in nature then he’s prepared with your favourite nutritious snack + a bottle of water + first aid materials. if it’s any combination of both he’s prepared with whatever percentage of each he believes must be met; various aftercare blends each customized to that particular result.
afterwards, after he’s sure your initial, instinctive and most immediate needs have been throughly dealt with and resolved, it’s whatever you further need—your favourite comfort film, or cozy cuddles beneath fluffy blankets with him and your most cherished stuffy, or tender kisses scattered across your marred skin and mangled limbs, gentle lips so healing, so loving as they skim across your body, each stamp of them against your flesh leaving a soft, small blossom of warmth in its wake; whatever it is, whatever you want, he is more than ready and willing to give it.
i genuinely believe that like, 97% of the time this man is fucking brutal and sincerely, severely sadistic in the bedroom; loves teasing you to the point of tears and then far beyond that, staining his name into your skin through deep indents beneath all 32 of his teeth and splats of broken blood vessels beneath his fingertips, can be downright fucking cruel when he wants to be, when the mood strikes him (and takes genuine delight and pleasure in it all)—and as such, being a god at aftercare is a must, when it concerns you, anyway.
Me when I remember I can edit and I’ve decided to make it everyone’s problem
That one deleted scene between Ben and Washington is actually pure evil. The whole “And what would the tories call your friend Woodhull if they catch him” “The same thing they called my friend Nathan Hale”. OH GOD THEY WERE SO SICK FOR THAT
But then I started spiraling the more I thought about the comparison between Hale and Woodhull. Because OH MY GOD. Genuinely it’s sickening. The Culper Ring in general was made the way it was almost directly in response to Hale’s failure of a mission. Comparing both real life and the portrayal of it in the show, Ben is actually a huge factor in both of them taking part in the rebellion in some way or another. But then you get more into the few points in the show that actually compare Abe to Hale, specifically the time Abe is in prison (I used that part in the edit) with that one dude saying “Please tell me you’re some sort of Nathan Hale”. The moment is brushed aside almost immediately but it’s still there.
Go on to the end of season three with Trial and Execution. While most just compare Andre to Hale during his trial, there is also the comparison between Hale and Abe that is briefly brought up by the characters in the show. I don’t think you all realize how we were all saved by NOT having any of the other characters find out Abe was almost hanged for treason. Forever grateful because I know I would never have recovered from that.
Anyways unlike the last edit, this was all my doing so all hate and grievances can be directed towards me. I will start maniacally laughing
