looking for opinions both from americans and non-americans: what would you consider to be the big 4 american cities in terms of like, vibes-based cultural impact?

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

Something a little different today!! This scene is from The Road Not Taken by TopHat69, an ADA!skk AU. This is adapted directly from chapter 3, although I've cut down some things for time (and my sanity)

Necessary context: on their first day at the ADA, Dazai and Chuuya are split between Kunikida and Ranpo. Chuuya accompanies Ranpo to Kyushu, and Ranpo says some things that imply he knows a bit too much about Chuuya's past, which should have been erased along Dazai's. Chuuya, on edge, decides to confront Ranpo that evening in their Kyushu hotel room.

(continued under the cut ↓)

If you noticed, that Chuuya design is the one I posted a little while ago! It was made specifically for this comic because I needed to share this concept so bad. Ranpo deducing Chuuya's entire story from having known Murase, a Yokohama detective who was very involved with Chuuya's "early" life, was so simply clever it blew my mind. And now you can appreciate it too!!!

Once again, this is directly from chapter 3 of The Road Not Taken by TopHat69! Rated E, and/but, if you'd like to read this specific chapter on its own, it is totally safe.

I think my favourite villian in Bungou Strays Dogs (at least the main series) is Fukuchi.

Wild because I don’t like the man as a person but I love his character and he is such a good bad guy.

The reveal on the boat was insane. Lives were changed when Ranpo was yelling intel to Atsushi before just narrowly dodging being cut in half.

I knew Atsushi and Akutagawa were cooked the second they came back on board and Fukuchi was sat taking a smoke break.

It was over then and there.

His sword is bullshit but it works because he’s the only one can wield it too it’s full potential. Not only that but he killed Akutagawa and was using Dracula himself as a puppet.

All hope felt lost.

I legitimately had no idea how everyone was gonna survive this man because Fukuchi was giving the same kind of energy as Fukuzawa and Mori.

He felt legitimately untouchable.

He had this presence around him that few characters have been able to emulate.

And Fukuchi plays the liar role so well that when he’s being silly and goofy you kinda forget how terrifying he is.

He says he’s known as the man with 100 faces and you can see why. He kills Akutagawa, lies to the staff and then charms the UN into following his orders.

And yeah I think it gets overshadowed by things that happen later on but Fukuchi is also incredibly smart too.

The man outsmarted Ranpo for over a decade and that is no small feat. He had everyone fooled, his own men, and even his oldest friend.

He knew to let Atsushi go on the ship because killing him would complicate the timeline. And managed to configure the One Order to Fukuzawa’s command.

I also love how everyone keeps trying to pin some sad backstory on him to explain why he’s like this. The oh but he went to war snd suffered :(

Meanwhile Fukuchi is just like yeah and I tortured innocent civilians and feel no regret or remorse for it.

Like the man betrayed everyone who’s ever cared about him. He was killing his own men while sending vampires to aid Fyodor in prison.

And the best part of it for me is that Fukuchi is 100% convinced he’s the good guy in all of this. That’s it all for a cause you simpletons can’t understand.

He’s his own undoing and up until the very very end he won. His plan was foiled sure but Fukuchi was the one smiling as his best friend sobbed.

Awful person absolutely and a damn good villian that for me his so called “successor” doesn’t even come close to reaching the same level of terror.

I know it most probably didn't happen like that but it'd be very amusing if Mori was the first ability user that Dazai encountered, and Dazai didn't know about his own nullifying ability and didn't know that Elise was Mori's ability, and one day he accidentally touched Elise and Elise disappeared and Dazai was like "...I think I just eradicated my doctor's child."

[videogamelover99]

ERAM. THAT'S ERAM. ON THE MEMORYHEAD OVERWORLD SPRITE. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK.

I killed 35 people, what about you?

Banishment arc

The reason Donna has never seen the doctor regenerate without David Tennant is actually because the presence of Donna Noble spawns David Tennants in Time Lords the same way temperature feminizes lizards. If the master died in front of Donna he would regenerate into David Tennant

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services ��� these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

hamlet style justice system

whenever you do something sketchy they make you watch a play where actors reenact what you did. if you react, you're declared guilty
