Hello! Hope you don't mind the random ask 🥺 You said after the newest episode that Mushitarou is one of your favorite BSD characters; could you talk a little about your thoughts on him/why you love him/his arc? He's one of my favorites too, and it makes me so so sad how underrated he is, because imo he's one of the most well-written and tragic characters in the entire series, despite how little screentime (pagetime?) he gets :' ) I wish more people would talk about him. Really hope that changes after the next episode 💚

I honestly almost screamed when I got this ask YES I CAN TALK ABOUT MUSHITARO. I CAN TALK ABOUT HIM ALL DAY.

Ok well first of all he is the poor little meow meow. Pathetic scrunkly man. I'm sorry but you can't deny that it's true. Even in-universe, it's like he's the BSD world's chew toy. He keeps getting kidnapped by different organizations with like. No breathing room in between. Give him a BREAK. Funnily enough, I enjoy and usually like to poke fun at these kinds of characters, but they're not typically my favourites. Mushitaro is, by far, an exception to my usual favourite character types.

Second, I am a lover of bittersweet tragic storylines. Yeah. Honestly, the way the storyline built to the slow reveal - I knew immediately after Poe mentioned the water droplets that they were his tears, and I was starting to suspect what was really going on, but the way it was unraveled was so, so painful and beautifully done. Even knowing it was coming today when I watched the episode, it still hurt.

Thirdly, Mushitaro's circumstances raise some intriguing questions we still don't have answered. He was captured by the Seventh Agency and made to work for them with his ability - he considers them a worse alternative to Dostoevsky and refers to them as tyrants. (We also know of another shadowy organization that takes on ability users with useful skills for nefarious purposes, V. V also somehow managed to not be discovered by either the government or Ranpo in 13 years. I'm not saying there's a connection there but... but... there might be. 👀) Anyways, point is, there's stuff goin' on there. And I wanna know. (Also I like the motivation parallels with Ango very much.)

But most of all, I fully agree with you - he is very well-written. What I love most about his character is actually the way his narrative showcases what I believe to be some of the series' character writing's biggest strengths - to excellent (and heartbreaking) effect.

Characters are often revealed to be quite different than what their initial introductions would suggest. Later revelations serve to recontextualize earlier character cues - these early cues are often misleading but not outright lies.

To be clear, this isn't a hard or particularly unique thing in character writing - in fact, this is... kind of a minimum requirement. Your audience should be able to go back after the fact and notice new things about characters that you only get on re-read. But I find BSD is interesting for this because these initial impressions don't frequently tell you what these characters actually value - the "establishing moments" are often incredibly misleading. Mushitaro is an excellent example of this.

The best part of the perfect murder arc is the way it slowly unravels piece by piece - and as it unravels, more and more, we get to see the real Mushitaro. He starts off with these terrifying facial expressions, bragging and boasting about how he is the "detective killer" and how none stand in his way, cackling like a shallow cartoon villain. There's not much there to suggest a deeper character. Then there's the first flash to Yokomizo's murder, and Mushitaro appears to revel in it and the idea that he can't be caught. Another flashback shows him making these arrogant demands of a literal terrorist, like all his tableware being silver and porcelain and having access to a library of occult books for his study. Ok dude. This all paints the picture of a selfish individual, primarily concerned with expensive things and money and image - all things that perfectly fit Ranpo's initial conjecture as to the kind of person behind the Kindaichi murder. And just like Ranpo later says, it's a little too perfect.

The reveal builds slowly but surely, and Mushitaro's built-up image as a dramatic, remorseless murderer crumbles. Because he didn't kill out of hatred at all. He killed Yokomizo because Yokomizo asked him to do so. Because this, and the legacy of a mystery that transcended fiction into reality, was his only friend's dying wish. It was enough for Mushitaro to delay his escape just to fulfill it - what Ranpo refers to as a kind of willing self-destruction.

What Mushitaro ultimately values then is honouring the wishes of those he cares about and repaying those he owes. He will take the secret of Yokomizo's ultimate mystery to his grave. He used what he likely thought were his last moments alive to grab the transceiver and warn Ranpo about the danger the Agency was in. He only decided to trust Ango after Ango admitted his use of the Seventh Agency was to honour Oda's memory and wishes.

So, going back and re-reading his intro again, it becomes more clear that he was suffering from a kind of cognitive dissonance. "But wasn't he just playing the role he was supposed to?" No. He wasn't. The first flashback to Yokomizo's murder is much more violent and ends with Mushitaro cackling and going into a full villain monologue when there is no one else around but him. There's no one to perform this role for - except Mushitaro himself.

Both the killing and the ensuing grief stemmed from the exact same source - Mushitaro loved his friend deeply. But there is, I believe, no small amount of bitterness too, for the way they argued frequently, and the way his friend asked this of him. It's practically irreconcilable in his mind, and so Mushitaro leans into his role as the evil perpetrator who hated Yokomizo to such a degree that I honestly think he started to believe it - Mushitaro, with two narratives in his mind running parallel to each other that are fundamentally conflicting, tried to make a monster of himself. Insisted on being the monster, at least until Ranpo made it impossible for him to deny the true motive behind his actions - protecting his friend's last wish.

Fittingly for the climactic reveal of a mystery storyline that blurs fiction and reality, Mushitaro's real-life grief was his perfect fictional role's undoing.

Is he boastful? Arrogant? A bit of a coward? Absolutely. But Mushitaro is no monstrous villain - he is a man unable to confront his grief over his friend's death, and who, ultimately, doesn't intend any real harm.

Because other than Yokomizo, revealed as an agreed upon assisted suicide - Mushitaro never murdered anyone.

2. Characters are not cured of their pain and trauma. They continue to struggle with it during their development and it actively impacts the way they view and interact with the world around them.

Mushitaro's story is heavily themed around grief and his consistent denial of it's effects on him. At first, he denies by embodying the role Yokomizo wanted him to play - it seems to the point where he legitimately started to lose it. He's slipping when we first meet him. In a weird way, for as much as Ranpo tore his perfect crime apart... I feel like he also saved him, in a sense. The dissonance he was experiencing likely only would've gotten worse if he had not been forced to speak the truth aloud.

After that point... the denial focuses solely on the idea that Mushitaro doesn't miss Yokomizo at all. That he's doing just fine and Yokomizo should be jealous (he's far from fine; he doesn't even see a point in going outside anymore now that he won't be able to see his friend) and that he hated him (he doesn't. he never did. but he has to. he can't deal with it.).

Another thing I really like about his arc is that Mushitaro's grief also clearly stems from the entire thing being traumatic for him - but neither Yokomizo nor Mushitaro are demonized or victimized for this; rather the situation is just shown as it is. It's nice, that the story allows the reader/viewer to draw their own judgements. Both had their reasons for their actions - Yokomizo was already dying and wanted to go out in a way that was meaningful to him, while Mushitaro chose to fulfill this wish in spite of the cost to him. They both mutually self-destructed, in a way.

The narrative doesn't frame either as the villain. It doesn't fully frame either in victimhood either. It's a tragedy all the same.

Mushitaro continues to see and hear Yokomizo wherever he goes, not because he can't get rid of him... but because he never wanted him to be gone in the first place. Stabbing me would hurt less I think. :/

3. Characters often grow and change before they consciously realize it or have any sort of "epiphany".

This ties in a lot with the ongoing theme of uncertainty, and I above all really like this aspect of the series. BSD has characters grow and change and try to be better, do better by themselves and others... without being sure of the outcome. Sometimes before they're ready to consciously admit a change is necessary. There are few epiphanies. The characters are forced to slog through hardship and only then suddenly realize how far they've come - for better or for worse.

Mushitaro does change, even in the short span of time he is a focus character. I love the first little signs of it too - Mushitaro, who doesn't even like mystery novels, uses a trick Yokomizo told him about to help himself, Atsushi and Kyouka escape. Look at him :')

Afterwards, he starts to wonder if he can see Yokomizo whenever he enters a locked room - as in, if connecting to the memory of his friend through what he loved in life will mean that he keeps that memory alive.

And as annoyed as he is with Poe's attempts to get him to write a mystery... a part of him is happy to be around people that he could start to consider his friends. Enough that the Yokomizo he hallucinates wonders if maybe he doesn't need him there anymore. And finally Mushitaro bursts.

But this is actually good. He's finally past that denial phase, the part that had him talking about hate when really he missed him all along. Thing is, he'd already been developing and changing by this point, in that he needed the growth to come to terms with this truth, and it was not the truth that drove the growth.

In a sense, Mushitaro working through his grief and uncertainty led him to a brighter outcome, one where he has more friends and can start anew. He lost the closest person in his life. But his arc continuously asserts that in spite of the fact that he will always miss his friend, Mushitaro himself is still alive. And he should live that life - both moving forward and keeping the memory of his friend with him.

Odasaku believed that writing a novel was to write people. Poe was so insistent on getting him to write because it's a way of seeing the people we want to see anytime we want.

What a beautiful character arc, that began with fiction as an escape from real-life pain, and concluded with fiction as a means to work through it and with it instead.

Plus he's just such a funky little dude.

I. Love. Mushitaro.

[spotaus]

I wanna request some more stereo sans if that’s okay, I LOVE HIM THE DESIGN IS SO SCRUNKLY RAAAAAHHHHH

Also hi I love your art✨✨✨

HI HELLO!!!

I gotta say I was surprised to see Stereo in my Asks, but I am SO glad u requested him!!! 🥺💖💖💖

The goofy himself! I missed drawing him sm!!!!!

He's really silly because I don't really have lore for him outside the main Eternal Ashes storyline, and that's a whole can of worms, so no Lore-Dump unfortunately. BUT if u want some Design History lore I'm dropping some beneath the cut!

Okay so, Stereo was one of my first ocs for utmv. Like. I think he was designed right after Ichor (<- my first Sans oc) was. He was part of a Trio, made up of Orchid, Reset, and himself. Currently they're the three longest surviving cast members of Eternal Ashes, but Stereo has gone through very few changes.

Here are his First Reference (left) and Revised Reference (right) from about 2019 and probably 2020 respectively.

The one on the left is so funny to me because, yeag, I used to have an awful style 🫶 but Stereo's design is honestly pretty consistent over the years.

Like the rest of the designs like him, he kinda Grew Up with me as I learned to draw better and as I developed the story he was involved with. He's one of my special blorbos that (while he doesn't have a ton of lore like I usually give my ocs) is always fun for me to draw and revisit!!!

Thanks for the request, Anon!!!! Maybe I can do some more proper scene doodles for him in the near future! (I love drawing him in motion thanks to his clothes/arms)

[dustykneed]

Hello artist that I love <3 you're so right Abt Spock having kitten sneezes, he says that Vulcans don't get embarrassed and plays it off but it's hard when Kirk is cooing at him like he's actually a cat. My partner is a big beefy man that sneezes like a kitten and it delights me to no end. Spock is the head science officer, second commander of the ship, sneezing like a kitty cat. His ass is NOT beating the catboy allegations abt Vulcans. I also think bones would have the dad sneeze™ purely on account of him being a father, he didnt sneeze like that before he had Joanna. Anyways love to see you on my dash :)

anon anon anon pspspps i need you to know that that mental image is DELIGHTFUL and you guys are so adorable (⁠つ⁠ˆ0ˆ⁠)⁠つ⁠｡⁠☆

placing this image tenderly onto your doorstep <33 thank YOU (so very much !!) for trusting me with part of your scrunkly space gays fandom experience and the knowledge of your partner's delightful kittycat sneezes and for the sweetest ask ever anon!! it's truly an honor (⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠)

[waybacks-swag-awards]

THE SWAG AWARDS HAVE OFFICIALLY COME TO AN END!

Finally, after a week of the toughest battles of your entire lives, it is finally decided on which Iterators have the most Swag! The most Blorbo…ness! And the most… Scrunkliness…? And etcetera! Without further ado, the winners of this competition are…

Hope For Bountiful Harvests (and his silly little dog, the Envoy) from @hopeforbountifulasks! My condolences! Huh, what, that’s the wrong—? Um, cheers, man! Thank you so much for being here with us! Tell your friends about what a great time you had here!

One Backward Step from @stepbystepback! Congratulations! Thank you so much for participating, we hope you had a good time! Come back soon! Huh? We’re not going to—?

A special thanks to the ones who made it to the final round — Pieces Of Memories from @pieces-of-memories and Endless Skies from @vivid-endlessskies! Thank you both for participating as well, hopefully you still enjoyed it even if you didn’t win!

And now, a final word from my manager!

——————

hello. it’s me, cream, the evil mastermind behind this whole thing. i really hope everyone had fun with this whole competition — i know it wasn’t very thought out in some places and that some things could’ve been done better, and it was my first time even trying to do anything like this, but Fuck It, We Ball. either way, at least for me, this event has brought a lot of joy and excitement, and i hope i’m not the only one!!!

so… it’s over! wow! the Swaggiest, Blorboest, Scrunkliest and etcetera iterators have been chosen…………………… but that was never the point of the Swag Awards, was it? sure, half the reason this event was created in the first place was to goof around and find out which iterator oc people are most obsessed with, but the actual reason was to bring everyone together, to shoutout smaller artists, to give everyone a chance. so if during this competition you’ve managed to find a cool new artist (or maybe even a new inspiration), a new favorite character, or if you’ve managed to meet someone new and make a friend or two — that means this competition has fulfilled its purpose! yippee!!! that’s all i could’ve ever asked for!

a very special thanks to all my friends who have enabled me throughout all of this, and to specifically @lyss-butterscotch for being the Main Enabler(tm) and drawing so much amazing stuff for the competition, even tho she didn’t have to!!! so go check her out!

i think that’s all i really wanted to say. once again, thank you everyone so much, and i hope you all enjoyed this silly little thing. if there is a next time, i’ll see you there, and if there isn’t, thank god & i’m never seeing any of you again. i’m going to hell after this post

[calxia]

I love how your bio says CEO of Hurting Phantom. At this point your the founder of hurting Phantom. I've never seen a writer put him through so much pain 😭

Anyways dropped by to say hello and that your writing is perfection.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy my writing! the fact that anyone enjoys my little word vomits I spit out when I should be sleeping is so wild to me.

Phantom's my little scrunkly I just gotta hurl him at a wall like he's a moonball and watch him ping back and forth. Just gotta pick him up and shake him back and forth like he's a bottle of kitten formula I've just made. the more shaken up the better.

[kingzombear]

Hello King , just saw your last post and immediately felt bad because I didn't know you were going through that kind of hellhole I'm really sorry :'(((

It's very dynamic , like -- I really love how scrunkly andddd ... Free ((??)) your artstyle looked , I was envious myself ((but leaning more to the admiration side)) cause D A M N you did ((and are doing)) really good!!

Also so sorry for the rambling but I just wanted to let you know that ...

...You're not alone on this. You got us. You got me.

We got you , King.

Aw shucks... a lil fruit basket... for me?? I love fruit!!!

*GROTESQUE EATING NOISES LIKE A ZOMBIE TEARING INTO A CORPSE*

Thank you, so so so much!!!

[colliholly]

Hello hello! Just found your blog recently and I have to say the art is very cute 10/10. I especially love your Binding of Isaac artwork, especially how you draw Azazel. You did the scrunkly justice lol

Anyways, hope you have/had a good day!

Thanks a bunch! I don't get too many comments on my TBOI stuff so reading this was surprising. It's one of my favorite games ever (I have over 1000 hours logged on it... help).

[pumpkinspice-prouvaire]

Hello!!! I just finished your zombie apocalypse fic a while ago, Crack of Dawn, All is Gone? Needless to say it was spectacular, the ending is just so good. I was wondering if you could describe the physical appearances of the 4 of them a bit in detail? I really want to draw fanart hehe.

You're an amazing author! All of your fics are so good :D

omg hiiii!!! Thank u so much for this and for all of your lovely comments on my fics. I've been having kind of a challenging few weeks and seeing a barrage of new comments from you was always a lil bright spot in the middle of The HorrorsTM, so thank you for that 🥹🥹🥹 I can't promise my physical descriptions will be any good, but they're here anyway!

Enjolras, I actually have a clear faceclaim for for this fic, which is the model Michael Lockley! So yah, tall and thin, big dark eyes, very very pretty

Given that they're twins in this fic, as long as Cosette looks kind of similar to Enjolras, you're good! I think the main difference is that her hair is a darker blond than Enjolras', and that she wears it in long braids instead of natural.

Appearance-wise, my Grantaire is always similar to George Blagden. I was here since 2012 you can't ask me to change my ways now. I think the main difference is that he's short and stocky, with big broad shoulders and chest. Also he has a big thick black beard, good for him.

Marius I picture as being tall and gangly, like a baby giraffe who doesn't quite know how to manage all its limbs in unison yet. He's pale, freckly, and has lots of red hair and big brown eyes with not a single thought behind them. Also dimples. Because I can.

Given it's a zombie apocolypse fic, they'll all be fairly scrunkly and messy, like realistically all the guys are gonna have a good amount of facial hair, not just Grantaire! Up to you if you wanna include that though, I certainly didn't when I was picturing them lmao

Thank u again for the ask, tag me if you ever do end up posting fanart I would absolutely love to see it <3 <3 <3

[theloveinc]

old n grumpy sexyman bkg #5ever✌️

#ALL2023!!! he makes me want to sing... literally...............

all scrunkly looking in the morning, puffy eyes and silvery yellow hair all messy bc he just woke up, but still SO handsome standing in the kitchen shirtless, scratching his happy trail and waiting for his (your) morning drink to brew.

he tucks you under his arm when you greet him (cuz you're still warm from being under the blankets)... but then pretends you're not even there, not bc he’s not happy to see u but because he wants attention, to soak up all ur kisses and love without any disturbances.

and sometimes that’s nice when ur tired and just wanna be held and rocked for a bit... but sometimes it's like... you give him a kiss on his cheek and he's basically purring like a cat... you give him another and he's practically looking like ☺️😯... but then when u ask for one back, he's just, "shhh. i'm trying to enjoy this"

like....... HELLO? OLD MAN?????? (you need to buy him one of those shirts/mugs that's like "don't talk to me until i've had my preworkout coffee." he'd be mad abt it but still use it LMAOO)

AND AT NIGHT TOO... after work and dinner, he falls into bed or onto the couch, and gets so rude if you don't wanna lay with him. pouting and squinting at you:

"come cuddle."

you're like, "hold on, i'm finishing something."

"i said i wanna see you now."

"you can come over here if you want."

"you're really gonna make your old husband w/ a bad back and prosthetic get up? withhold a simple, easy kindness? i just wanted to love on you but now i guess i'm gonna go to bed lonely and—"

and you gotta be like. asdjfkaklsdhfkadafds "bakugo. i love you. just give me one second. please."

And he can't complain cuz u said the special words but he's just sitting there with his arms crossed, pouting and tapping his feet together under the blankets cuz he misses youuuu but won't say it.

like... forty five years old and still doing the most... but it really only gets even worse from there adjkadsjlk.

hi i just wanna say your luke is so bullyable(?? i wanna put him into a blender and drink it

hello hello hazel1!! i too want to put him in a blender !!!!!

i think my biggest problem is that i enjoy seeing luke pearce being picked on wayyy too much (by rosa, by their little daughter i made up in my mind, by aaron, by all his nsb colleagues etcetc). i realised that half the time i draw a tiny luke he looks like this (sketchy example below)

but how could i not draw this pathetic man with tears in his big coral eyes ? ? i hope i'm not only speaking for myself here when i say luke simps want both raven to step on them (+ arguably worse things, i don't judge) and to pinch luke pearce's scrunkly lil face and see him all teary <3

and on a related note i'd like to add that YOUR lukes are also so very very bullyable too i wish to bite their cheeks and stuff them in my mouth yesyes

[angelmeateater]

OMG OMg OM-

As you've probably noticed on this blog, I have a tendency to read things I really like really fast so-

I just finished reading all of Loki: Agent of Asgard, and oh boy!

!SPOILERS OF COURSE!

I didn't really know what to expect story-wise going into it, I've never read any of the other Loki comics so I wasn't really sure what to expect, of course I've watched all the movies and sadly the show. My main reason for reading it was the art style, I really liked his character design (loads of gender envy there, and he's cute) I also remembered that this was one of the genderfluid Loki comic points of reference that people talked about when the whole show stuff happened, so I really liked that.

I've been on a bit of a Loki angst streak lately fanfic wise and I really didn't expect the comics to deliver me with those same feelings, but oh god they did. The story itself I found a little confusing at points, I think it's one of those stories I'd benefit from reading again, they also referenced things that happened in the wider canon, which I don't know or follow, they'd make helpful points of reference to other comics which I think is really useful if I did want to understand it more, I wouldn't say it needed a wider understanding of canon, but I'm obviously not sure how much of a bearing which events had on canon etc but I don't think effected the story at all.

I really liked the moral story of it, I thought the message of not fitting into a box was very appropriate for Loki and will also be a very important one to tell, I definitely found it quite insightful for myself, I really liked the ending and oh boy the very height of the story is definitely worth every moment.

I would definitely recommend, especially if you've been disheartened by the Loki series

Anyway here as always are some of my favourite panels and moments with comments ;) (minor blood/gore warning for one of the cover's) (and gun/violence)

I liked how they let him have a phone, and I also really appreciated his black nail polish, which it seems all the Loki's wear

I'm not sure who they got to do volume 6's artwork but damn do I like their style, I think it works great to contrast and compliment the main art style.

Hello?? Loki being sad about not being able to lift Mjollnir, god don't do this to me

Oh OH OW- poor Loki, please- my heart can't take this, stop making me cry please

Yes let's go genderfluid Loki rep!!!!

OH GOD can we just appreciate this masterpiece of cover art, this is everything I always want from my own works and this piece just aarrrghhg

We get to see Odin and Freyja use guns, that's a bonus

you can tell this was written in 2014 lol and I love it for that

WOMEN- LOKI OMG I THINK I'M BISEXUAL

MORE GENDERFLUID LOKI YESSS

this cover art is just stunning

And finally this iconic cover art ~chef's kiss~ he's so gender and scrunkly

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao]

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!

Welcome to the ultimate blog entirely for Beyond Birthday, B, BB, or Backup, and A (Alex Ryuzaaga) or Alternative from Death Note & the Wammy's House!!

I made this blog SPECIFICALLY for Alex, but there will also be Beyond sprinkled in a little bit.

Maybe some other Los Angeles BB murder cases stuff who knows

I made this for him since basically ITS SO WEIRD how the only things canon said were "He was the first successor. Then he died. The end." LIKE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (probably not the only things but kind of like that).

This Quora post says a lot of information (that is probably canon or idunno. no one knows anymore) about Alex though! It gives you a lot more information and story behind him and what his hobbies were and his personality. Look at the one Ellie Lawliet made

Anyways, i'll be putting my interpretations of him and headcanons for him here (i have so much to infodump) and ill share AUs, fanfics, information, all kinds of stuff like that.

You can submit posts for me to put here too about him. And, i dont know if you're able to like submit a post you made for me to post, or if I can just reblog it from you, but you can @ me about stories, interpretations, headcanons, information you have/made/found as well!

So uh yea. I made this blog to shed some light on him since he's very underrated but also very important and scrunkly

There's probably some other blogs like this idunno but i made this for fun and to share my things about him

Ill probably edit/update this post to put more things later about this blog, but for now im winging it and screaming into the void.
