#side eyeing Asagiri and Harukawa super hard

[lnkedmyheart]

Man, the way we keep finding a shit ton of soukoku content that is shockingly canon and very sus but its all hidden away like a bunch of Easter eggs in the side material, all of it approved, if not written by Asagiri makes me so delusional.

Like what do you mean so much content that is locked away has heavy implications about skk's soulmatism?

And it's not even queerbait because it is all so important to humanizing Dazai. Like if people knew just how Dazai treats or reacts to Chuuya in all this locked away content, they'd realise how much he genuinely cares about people!

i think it goes without saying, but BSD. the aesthetics, the characters, the meta-aspects . . . all of it. It’s a wildly complicated and at-times-absurd story that makes me feel comfortable in my own conflicts with my humanity, kind of childish idealization of the world and my subsequent dissatisfaction with it. It is a story that respects its characters SO much ( side eyeing you, Gege ) and not just in a development/character-arch sense. Harukawa and Asagiri put an insane amount of care into this universe down to the tiniest design details. it’s incredible, and there’s a reason why i’ve kept up with it for almost 12 years. I’ve also been heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien and have dipped my toes into original works and creating languages for my personal projects which are more fantastical than gritty or emotional like my fics. I’m also an avid consumer of movies, web novels, and manga in general, which all give me the creator-envy and inspiration i need to make something of my own.

🌿⋆.˚ "give some advice on writer's block and low creativity"

dreaded writer’s block. i don’t know if this is how it is for everyone, but i usually find myself stuck or unable to write when im staring at the blank first page of a chapter ( and once i get the ball rolling its almost impossible to get me to stop ), rather than halfway through a fic or wip, and at a loss for where to go next. When that happens, i take a walk! i make myself tea and call a friend ( they’re super sick of me)! or i’ll close my laptop, socials, turn off my music and distance myself from my writing for a while.

“low creativity” as a phrase kind of dooms us to feel like we’re failing when we sit down to write and can’t immediately churn out something new. we’re not machines. making stuff. and making stuff that matters, is HARD. And IMO, creativity isn’t something you can squeeze out of your brain like juice from a lemon. you need to nurture it, feed your brain with inspiration and fuel ( make sure to eat while writing ), and give yourself the same care you’d want devoted to your work in order for it to grow. surrounding yourself with the creativity of others ( talking to friends, scrolling through pinterest, watching movies, reading books ( or other fic! ) ), is also key.
