have yall ever noticed in osamu dazai's entrance exam that ranpo cuts to the heart of dazai within moments of meeting him, weighs him against the feather in his gaze, decides it neither too heavy nor light, and then says, simply, unfeignedly, deliberately, "Oh, that's nice. Anyway, welcome to the Agency."

and dazai, despite smoothing himself shapeless under ranpo's scrutiny, is rattled, slipping aside his noh mask to self-soothe by asking kunikida about ranpo's skill. because the radio static crackling along his spine can't be the sensation that he's been caught, or ranpo would have renounced or redressed or recoiled from the snake in his home— so it must be no longer human, buzzing and frustrating such and such skill ranpo set on him, and this placidity is a facade to save face. ranpo couldn't have seen what dazai didn't deign to show him, however much the thought briefly excites dazai.

except then kunikida explains that ranpo's skill is to deduce the truth of a case just by looking at it, and dazai is momentarily stunned, the static roaring in his drums as muscle memory swallows piqued yearning and spits bitter incredulity. even if there were a skill that could crack him apart to out the pluck meat that might reassure him he's made of flesh beneath the chitin, there is no exception to his nullification.

even as the blackened grief encroaches like ennui around dazai's edges, ranpo is calling them, promising them the answer they asked for, and no more than that much. he asks dazai for his glasses (the glasses precious to him, typically on his person, but in that moment, somewhere else), and dazai is coaxed by his curiosity and ranpo's beckon.

and because dazai is still a pitiable creature prone to wanting, he leans towards the taunting lure and takes it between his fingers while holding his breath to brace against the certain-to-be-crushing disappointment.

and instead, substantiation brokering little argument. ranpo can deduce the truth by looking at it. and as dazai's own discernment reverse engineers ranpo's conclusion, he finds no fault in it.

dazai's rhapsody enlivens him in the car with Kunikida, the well of him overflowing with the salvific implications that moments prior he was pinned, writhing in place, by someone sincerely seeing him, who was satiated by enough substance to then look away, who wasn't the least surprised to see wriggling, living flesh in the shape of him.

dazai's so beside himself that when kunikida remarks that he's never seen dazai marvel over someone else's skills like that before, dazai scarcely lies to him when he says lots of things take him by surprise, like when he tried to pick up a clam with his chopsticks, and it was still alive, startling him.

kunikida, who also notices more than he's given any credit for, dismisses dazai's third perspective, depersonalized, dehumanized, and disassociated clam metaphor, and says: "You seemed taken aback that someone had the ability to see and know all."

to which dazai responds with the same seamless and subtly mean spirited deflection he tends towards whenever he's suddenly feeling vulnerable.

but yes, he is taken aback. it's worldview shattering, not unlike when chuuya incited him, or oda shrugged at him, or when kunikida would, later, see a lock without any key (a climax without any hope) and create one himself.

ranpo saw him, saw who he'd been, and said, with prejudice: "Anyway, welcome to the Agency."

because I didn't until a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't stopped thinking about it.

WWE RAW - November 24, 2014

[millenari]

admittedly I am a little terrified that ALW is going to see pac Cats's success and go 'oh, THAT'S how you make Cats appeal to the Youths! You have to make the cats more human! :)'

[adhderall]

well as you can see besides being ugly as all fuck I'm also extremely bitter so that doesn't help at all in making me appealing. but it also comes with the territory you see, being treated as a hideous freak of nature for your whole life kind of does things to your psyche.

also going into shit in the tags as an extreeeemely jaded individual who's been on every side of the discourse and KNOWS it all VERY PERSONALLY so I know many people will find all sorts of different reasons to hate me (if they want ig) because I'm ~politically homeless~ at this point because I'm sick and tired of everything but whatever

(also fuck I ran out of space in the tags so another post maybe idk. )

[theajaheira]

i feel like at some point i have to write my latest bangel plot bunny just to counterbalance all the violent hatred of them??? like they’re FASCINATING. y’all just think the show doesn’t know that this is a deeply fucked up relationship, which is sorta fair bc the show can’t decide + wants to have its cake and eat it too (buffy and angel are somehow simultaneously Teenage True Love and Genuinely Fucked Up Power Dynamic) BUT “the show can’t decide” is so hugely different from “the show doesn’t know it’s fucked up and thinks it isn’t” and so sometimes i will see bangel hater takes and they will actually hurt my soul

everyone who punishes and hurts me for having boundaries should die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die DIE!!!!!!!!!

working retail is making me remember how much i hate stupid customers btw

[cleverpaws]

one of these days i will drop an essay abt how there's actually no objectively correct characterization of any gen1 characters because they are, when in their most un-filtered state, supposed to be the streamers that play them, and to assume we know basically anything about who those people are is to miss the point of the social experiments entirely. and none of you are ready

I wonder why is it so difficult for football teams to hold their controversial players accountable. Like they think they're protecting the club's image but little do they know it makes them look even worse when they do the most to defend them.

I feel so particular about the Gale romance scene in act 3 where he tries to convince you to ascend to godhood with him because it's essentially just... If you don't want him to ascend it's just reassuring him that he's fine the way he is. That he doesn't have to be special or exceptional to be worthy of love. From the very first interactions with Gale it becomes clear that he fully equates his worth with his skill and talent in magic. He comes off as confident and even narcissistic at times, but these feelings are rooted in his magic abilities. The first intimate experience Tav gets with him is channeling the weave. When he finds out Mystra wants him to suicide bomb the Absolute, he's not angry but accepts this as his fate and punishment for his past failures. In act 2 he is utterly surprised if Tav wishes to sleep with him without the magic. In act 3 one of the dryad questions is what his greatest flaw is, and the correct answer is that he thinks the world is better off without him. He also constantly says that Tav is too good for him and he doesn't deserve them. And finally, in the boat scene, he keeps coming back to the same point: offering godhood to Tav as a way to give them what they deserve, which is more than human Gale has to offer. Yes, Gale is allured with power, but one of the motivations for gaining this power is his low self esteem. It is unclear whether his relationship with a literal goddess is the root of this insecurity, or whether it stems from his life before Mystra (I'm a sucker for loner kid Gale headcanon), but in either case this characterization is so damn relatable. Losing yourself in your work/passion to distract from your shortcomings and flaws only to meet someone that looks straight past that and doesn't love you for what you are capable of but for what you are underneath is... Lovely. I feel very particular about it.
