they could never make me hate you neil “kevin and i talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time” josten

in all seriousness though, i think a good ending for jean would be to become true friends with neil outside of their “perfect court pairing”. i think, in many ways, they are quite good for each other. they can understand everything going on in each other’s lives that literally no else besides kevin could fully comprehend (and kevin is out of the equation because jean knew kevin for far too long in his extended-traumatic period and more or less contributed to jean’s continual issues), but they didn’t spend enough time in the same traumatic sphere to be triggers to each other, if that makes sense.

i think they are both learning to become their own people. i would like to see them be proper friends once they are older and paying their tribute to ichirou. plus, neil is the perfect amount of unhinged to match jean’s unhinged worldview.

but that’s just my opinion i guess 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 i might write a fic about this one day because neil immediately taking a hit out on someone who hurt jean without any details is CRAZY and is spawning idea babies in my brain

neil josten is the character of all time. he shows up at the end of the sunshine court, serves absolute cunt for exactly ten pages, takes a hit out on someone, bitches to the fbi, says 'so was elodie. remember that the next time you think you're not worth saving' and then fucking leaves he's everything to me

did you go and make promises you can't keep?

i completed The Sunshine Court in THREE DAYS. THREE. I am genuinely such a slow reader; I have not read a novel that fast in literal YEARS. I literally could not put the book down. There is just. Never a dull moment in TSC where I’m like, “Okay, I can stop here for now.” I couldn’t. I laid in bed for hours reading when I should’ve spent my time on being productive.

Props to Sakavic because I’m still reeling from how fast I read it. Also, cannot physically wait for the next book. I need it in my hands right now (with love and all respect to how long it takes to write and publish a book).

no, this is an actually really good joke that i will be stealing

Two idiots decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells him to take Math, History, and Logic. 

"What's Logic?" the first idiot asks.

The professor answers by saying, "Let me give you an example."

"Do you own a weedeater?"

"I sure do."

"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.

"That's real good!"

The professor continues, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house."

Impressed, "Amazin!"

"And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife."

"That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!" The idoit is obviously catching on.

"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor.

"You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard! I can't wait to take that logic class!!"

The idiot, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.

"So what classes are ya takin'?" asks the friend.

"Math, History, and Logic!" he replies.

"What in tarnation is logic???" asked his friend.

"Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weedeater?" he asked.

"No," his friend replied.

"Gay."

debating on writing a separate analysis on gojo because there is really only one way to describe him: pathetic. and i really mean that. not even as a funny way like he is simply one of the most pathetic characters out there and i REALLY need a space to air out why i feel this way

Hello, just found your blog and I love your posts. Thanks for sharing them.

When I first saw your blog, I thought it will be about classical books like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, etc (sorry for my mistake). I'm new in anime/manga (about last 6 years), before that since my school days, I only read classical books.....So not young in age but young in fandom :D

Are those seven are your fav media : BSD, JJK, Genshin Impact, AFTG, Voltron, Demon Slayer, Haikyuu? Can I ask why you love them? What made them special for you?

P.s

Are you excited for the Haikyuu movie, new season of Demon Slayer, and new spin off for AFTG?

Thanks 🌻

Thank you for sending in another request!! I smiled wide when I saw that sunflower 🌻

I completely understand where you’re coming from. The A Tale of Two Cities is sure to through anyone off. Sorry!! I mainly use this blog to post my ramblings and creative projects that I can’t really put anywhere else, plus a few one shots. I might transfer more of my one-shots to here from Ao3, but I simply haven’t gotten around to it.

Love to hear that you love the classics, though!! I wish I had the patience to read more than I have already. I’m an extremely slow reader, so it makes it difficult to get through classics (even though I love them dearly). For anime/manga, I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan myself. Not that I don’t enjoy it, but I don’t go out of my way to read or watch something in that genre because it’s in that genre. I watch or read anything that may pique my interest, regardless of the format, be it on Youtube, Hulu, Crunchyroll, etc. I haven’t really even seen many animanga myself, to be honest.

I wouldn’t say the seven that you listed are my favorite media, they are just the ones that I have written fanfiction/analyses about and posted it on here. I use that list as a masterlist guide for people to find my meaningful posts easier! So, not my favorite, just whats available to peruse on my account. As for my actual favorite… it’s hard to say. I don’t think I have seven I can list off the top of my head, but I do have some favorites in general.

Interestingly, for most of my “favorites”, I have never written a fanfiction for, nor do I read many fanfics for (with the exception of a couple of favorites). I don’t know why this is. Maybe because I find the original story too good to be expanded upon? I can’t say for certain.

A Silent Voice is easily favorite movie. It’s also my favorite anime, if you don’t require the anime to be a series. I haven’t watched any movie better, animated or otherwise, and I’m not sure I ever will. The characters are all so beautifully human, who say and do the wrong things, who are awful to each other, but who also do kind things, who develop, who change, even as others stay the same. Not to mention that the animation itself is beautiful. I could go on and on about this movie; I cry every time I watch it. I’d say it’s my favorite piece of media in general. Everything else falls behind it. Nothing can top it (at least not yet). Fun fact, if you didn’t already know: the English voice actor for Shouko, the main female lead, is actually deaf. Wonderful voice casting as well, just to top things off.

Bungou Stray Dogs is my favorite manga as of right now. I love it for many of the same reasons I love A Silent Voice; the characters are horribly human and complex, despite their inhuman abilities. Each character is interesting and unique, and while I do have gripes with the main storytelling, Asagiri’s Bungou Stray Dogs: BEAST really makes up for it. All of the character designs are also very unique and thought-out. Each character and their design leaves me spiraling as I think and analyze. It really triggers the autism LMAO.

Child of Light is my favorite video game. While I do have the most hours logged into Genshin Impact (and it is a close second in terms of favorites), Child of Light is simply one of those games that I can never forget. I have a lot of good childhood memories tied with it. I also completed the entire thing in one sitting in about 10 hours, which is the first and probably last time I ever speed-run a video game (speed-run is used loosely here because I am not “speedy” in any sense of the word). Anyway, Child of Light is a very beautiful game both in visuals (with its watercolor game design) and music (one of the best soundtracks in any game, in my opinion). The language in the game is also very unique — every character speaks in a rhyming pattern, all except the Jester character, who you would THINK would speak in rhymes but fails miserably every time. Each character is as fantastical as the next, ranging from a water droplet to a mouse. I wish everyone would play this game, because it’s so fun and so beautiful.

The Grishaverse is my favorite book series, though there are multiple series within the universe. I just don’t have a favorite (definitely not the Grisha Trilogy though 😭). Although it’s been a while since I’ve read the books, I seriously couldn’t put them down when I was reading them. They are a perfect blend of fantasy and realism, with believable characters and powers. While the OG series is genuinely not good in my opinion, the Six of Crows and King of Scars Duologies are actual masterpieces. Six of Crows is full of action, intensity, and found family, while King of Scars balances it out with political intrigue. Very, very well written and well done book series in plot, character, and setting. The TV show is a crime against the books, honestly, but it’s okay, Just read the books, they are better.

Merlin is my favorite TV show. I actually really love watching medieval settings. Not as much reading (not that I don’t like them in books, I just don’t search them out for the purpose of being medieval), but I love to watch them. I like admiring the old settings, buildings, clothes, and lifestyles that are being presented. I also love Arthurian retellings, so Merlin kind of hits the spot. I don’t have as many good reasons for loving this series, I just do 😭. Best (b)romance of the century. I did cry at the end when I watched it. Also, thank you to the Merlin fandom for reaching me what a good fanfiction is supposed to look like.

That’s all I can think of. I don’t really have a favorite individual book, classic or otherwise. I think that’s kind of impossible for me. I’ve read many great series, and I assume I will read a great many more to come.

I’m not sure if I’ll watch the Haikyuu movie. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched the anime, but if I come across it and I can watch it for free, then I’d be down honestly. I have been keeping up with Demon Slayer, with plans to read the manga maybe, so I am pretty excited for the new season!! And don’t get me started on the new All for the Game book!! I need it in my hands right now.

Thank you so much for asking!! I love talking about my favorite medias lol

Hello, can I ask from which author (BSD characters) have you read the books? Hope my question is not confusing.

Also, can I ask your top fav characters and fav moments from BSD?

Thanks 🌻

Hello, thank you so much for sending in this ask! Not confusing at all!!

I have read only a few books from the authors featured in Bungou Stray Dogs, but I plan to read more! I love reading classic literature — I find their verbiage fun to read, even if it may sometimes be a little hard to get through. I also like to read the classics written by the authors in BSD, in case it gives me any insight on what Asagiri was thinking when he made these characters.

I’ll list them author first, then the book I’ve read by them! Most are the ones that their ability is named from (generally speaking, the ability name is based off of their most popular book). Any books that I’ve read a few pages of, or seen a related film of, will be listed separately in an “Extra” section.

Dazai Osamu — No Longer Human (translated by Donald Keene)

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke — Rashōmon (translated by Takashi Kojima)

Edgar Allan Poe — The Fall of the House of Usher ; The Tell-Tale Heart ; Annabel Lee ; The Raven ; The Masque of the Red Death ; The Oval Portrait ; The Oblong Box

Mark Twain — The Celebrated Jumping Frogs of Calaveras County

Fyodor Dostoevsky — Crime and Punishment (translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky)

Agatha Christie — And Then There Were None

Adam Frankenstein — Frankenstein (The actual author is Mary Shelley. I don’t know why Asagiri chose to name his character this way.)

Extra: Excerpts from Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi A small bit from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Balloon Hoax A chapter from Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, of which I’ve also seen The Great Gatsby (2013) movie adaptation.

TBR (Only those featured in BSD): Francis Scott Fitzgerald — The Great Gatsby Nathaniel Hawthorne — The Scarlet Letter

As for my favorite characters, I can say that my absolute favorite in BSD is Akutagawa Ryuunosuke, but my second favorite, who just BARELY doesn't make it to first, is Edogawa Ranpo. Interestingly, I used to be pretty neutral about Akutagawa when I first watched and read BSD. Then I watched Wan!, which made me realize just how funny Akutagawa really is, and began my affinity for the character. Beast is the light novel that actually propelled Akutagawa to be my favorite, taking over Ranpo by a very small margin. With concerns to Ranpo, he just carries the series on his back, and I mean it. He must have extreme back pain. I also like that his ability is actually super autism. I find him funny, relatable, and complex. I enjoy every scene he's in.

Other favorites of mine: Nakajima Atsushi, who I'd say is my third favorite. I love his complexity, his development, his backstory, his design, everything. Yosano Akiko, who has my favorite backstory in all of BSD. Also a banger character design. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I really can't explain this. I just. Yeah. He's so painfully American and I find that incredibly enjoyable. Of course, there are more characters I really love! But these are my favorites!!

EDIT: Hello, I forgot to answer the second portion! My bad!

My favorite moment in all of Bungou Stray Dogs official media is the cafe/sugar scene between Akutagawa and Atsushi from Bungou Stray Dogs: Beast. It's the only hint we have towards the idea that Akutagawa and Atsushi have the potential to be true friends. They can get along. If it weren't DAZAI. Always that man's fault.

Nothing really comes close to that for me. There are others I like, such as the Dazai-Oda bar scene from Beast as well, or Akutagawa's death sequence. Another amazing one is the Tachihara's elder brother's death scene, where Yosano comes across the thousands of scratched "corrects" and the hanging body of the man she's saved countless times. Truly gut-wrenching. This animanga is filled with touching and phenomenal scenes, and if you wanted a full list of all that I have enjoyed, I think we'd be here all day.

ahh thank you so much for the tag!!!

Last song you listened to: Dial Drunk by Noah Khan

Favorite color: Purple 💜 I would say I have a favorite shade, but honestly I love them all.

Currently watching: I’m actually not watching any movies or shows at the moment… I am currently watching the Call of the Abyss VII Identity V tournament on youtube, though. And I’m currently reading The First To Die At The End by Adam Silvera.

Sweet/savory/spice: I do love salty/savory food. I'm not sure how high my spice tolerance is; I'm a relatively picky eater (I think due to a disorder of some sort. A mild case of ARFID, I think.), making most of the foods I do like generally not fall in the spicy category, but not necessarily because it's spicy. Sweets have gotten a little more complicated for me recently. I love sweet foods, but sweet foods do NOT love me. Huge chocolate fan, but chocolate as of late has decided to wage war against my digestive system. Same with most anything containing high levels of sugar. TL;DR: Probably sweet first, then savory at a close second, and spicy at third depending on the food itself. But definitely no sauces.

Relationship status: Single!

Current obsession: Becoming salutatorian of my graduating class 😭

Last thing I googled: Not including what I googled for this post, it is "turbotax" lmao. I love taxes. 😐

last song you listened to: for once answering this question I'm not sure lol. possibly The Run and Go by twenty one pilots edit: actually just remembered it was a cover of Megalovania sorry

favorite color: I've said it's purple forever, but I also love green and blue

currently watching: mainly Once Upon A Time and Staged atm, but also technically Phineas and Ferb, Haikyuu, and Mob Psycho 100

sweet/savory/spicy: sweet mostly, savory and spicy in equal amounts

relationship status: happily married to a wonderful dork <3

current obsession: Good Omens. at this time yesterday I did not have a pinterest board for it; now I have over 250 pins. help me I was up til 5 am haha

last thing you googled: Michael Sheen
