I just realized that if someone who "doesn't have trauma" scripts in traumatic events so they can be cared for by their comfort character, then they might have more trauma than they realize...

the strangest thing to me about the BSD fandom is the fact that the vast majority of people in it are dazai fans, while also consistently assuming the absolute worst of him, disregarding the circumstances around his actions and giving him no grace or consideration of his situation whatsoever.
there's no doubt dazai is a bad person in many ways. he did plenty of unjustifiable, inexcusable things. he's pathologically manipulative with a totally skewed moral compass, most of which was undoubtedly brought on by his upbringing in the mafia. but at the same time, i see such a huge number of people taking that and somehow ending up with - and vehemently defending - this idea that he's a remorseless, indifferent, innately cruel person by nature?
are we forgetting this is the same dazai who was forced to false-witness a murder at fourteen years old? the same dazai who already wracked up numerous suicide attempts barely out of his pre-teens?the same dazai who was referred to by everyone around him as a 'demon' at fifteen years old? the same dazai consistently described as having grief-filled, empty expressions and detached, vacant reactions to practically everything when he was so young? the same dazai that oda described as "a child crying in the dark, alone, left to fend for himself with a hole in his heart as large as the world itself"?
that dazai is an indifferent, heartless, innately psychopathic person? really? i'm not convinced.

Damn this guy locked the doors. If only you had one or two convenient abilities in the room that could blow open the doors or mess with the metal lock in some way.

If you like a character but don't include their disability in art (drawing AND writing) then I'm sorry but I don't think you do as much as you think you do. This includes
- Scars

ngl, jinx kidnapping cait out of her shower has got to be one of the most psychologically terrifying and disgusting things i’ve seen in arcane.
kidnapping someone from the comfort their home is already bad enough. kidnapping from the comfort of their room is even worse enough. kidnapping someone from their fucking shower while they’re still naked?? ENTERING their shower?? not even having the decency to let them LEAVE the shower and enter their own room first??
this is genuinely one of the worst things jinx has ever done imo, nvm the mass-murder of all those enforcers (bc i mean… who RLY cares that much lmao) bc of just how predatory and evasive it is. never mind a breech of privacy, this is even more extreme than that.
someone attacking you when you’re THAT vulnerable, both literally/physically and emotionally (cait was LITERALLY just thinking abt vi, being very vulnerable w herself and her emotions and was probably going to try and find her again somehow) and being COMPLETELY dehumanized is beyond scarring and terrifying, it’s honestly absolutely unforgivable as far as i’m concerned 😭

i feel like some aspects of transphobia stem from jealousy, not just with plastic surgery but towards the happiness we feel as well. a lot of transphobes have horrible lives where horrible things have happened to them so when they see someone free and happy their immediate response is to hate them. they'll deny it over and over again until the end of time but transphobes really hate themselves. especially transphobic women, they seem to often feel the need to attack trans women for their appearance because they're very insecure in their own femininity. "she gets to be happy with womanhood, but why aren't i?"

I want you to ramble about everything you love about tubenoses!!! Go!!!
OH SHIT-
well i love everything about them but i will mention a few!
they migrate pretty wild distances. some albatrosses circumnavigate the globe in a little over two months for example!! but even with species that are more close to home, manx shearwaters that breed in ireland and the UK go all the way to BRAZIL and back every year! and considering how long-lived these birds are, thinking about how many miles they must travel throughout their lives is so wild. many species can also go years without touching the ground, since it takes them a few years to reach breeding age
for albatrosses in particular, flying is no bother for them. they have this special tendon that locks their wings open so it takes no effort to hold them open. monitors have shown that their heart rate while flying is the same as when they are sitting on the ground, even while flying through storms. they can go ages without having to flap their wings because they're so good at riding the wind (known as dynamic soaring). in fact they have trouble flying in calm conditions. FURTHERMORE the tube nostrils of an albatross actually measure the exact airspeed when flying which is necessary for dynamic soaring
their sense of smell is spectacular too! it's been proven that overall birds have pretty decent sense of smell, but tubenoses are some of the best. they find their food over the open ocean by smell and actively track their prey this way! it's a reason that chum is often thrown overboard on pelagic bird trips, because the smell attracts the birds in!
they make very fucked up noises!!! i believe manx shearwaters frightened off vikings because they sounded like trolls or other beasties! cory's shearwaters sound even weirder and so do flesh-footed shearwaters. european storm petrels make a cute purring noise! bulwer's petrels sound like dogs for some reason. desertas petrels sound like ghosts. bonus fact, many female petrels and shearwaters make deeper and raspier calls, while the males sound higher pitched and clearer
also they can be really pretty!!! buller's shearwater, white-faced storm petrel, ringed storm petrel, cape petrel, blue petrel and snow petrel as some lovely examples
