is this what you wanted?

#bsd spoilers #bsd #dazai osamu #art tag #tw blood #tw injury #ohhhhhhhhhhhh 109 made me so crazy ive been chewing on bricks all month #like we have the old setup thats like: 1. dazai wants to die and 2. chuuya wants to kill him but in truth its now more like #1. dazai wants to live hes trying to live and 2. chuuya could never of his own volition harm dazai #& then 109 takes them at their worse & takes away all of their power & agency & story up until now #& gives them EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT #but its not true! we've moved past this ending! #so now we get 1. what they want(ed) isnt something they couldve ever achieved by their own will (SAD) & #2. maybe now they realize they want for smth else? (HOPEFUL) & their arc goes from there #<- completely delusional btw. #bungou stray dogs

It’s been 0 weeks since the World Cup finale, 17 weeks to go until sgp and 34 weeks to go until next season.

#and we are back 🫠👍 #first countdown post is always the worst one #but it will get better just not now or the next weeks #trying to uphold some sense of community with these countdowns #i am not ready for the tag to die #and to not have any comps in the foreseeable future and with that no sj content #I'm fine this is fine #😭😭😭 #oh I forgot this is also the first post that gets the offseason tag this is bad #someone sedate me until next winter #yeah I am feeling totally normal about this sure that's a completely healthy reaction #the range of emotions I went through preparing this post #and in case you're wondering I always plan to prepare these posts for a few weeks or the whole offseason in advance and never do it #so of course I frantically open tumblr at 11:59 am on sundays accompanied by muttering shit shit shit and type the post and tags #plans made but chaos reigns #there are no fixed calendars out yet they are usually discussed and approved in the spring meeting in april #but I based this on the last years so it should be more or less accurate :) #ski jumping #offseason2024 #sgp countdown 24 #actually it's 25 because it counts as part of the new season but that seem awfully confusing so it stays 24 here #sj countdown 24 #same with this one technically it's 24/25 but yeaaahhh the season starts in 24 so it's fine

*shakes bag of kibble* COME GET Y'ALL'S FOOD Cahara x gn!reader warnings: injury mention other than that it's just some bittersweet fluff 💜

“S-sorry, I’m just…” you said softly, voice shaking as you let the sentence hang unfinished in the air.

Scared, Cahara knew. He understood why – these dungeons would be terrifying enough empty – too many sleepless nights (days? It was hard to tell now) spent running from hulking guards and things that looked human but refused to die even after their heads were cut off. It would wear anyone out.

You’d held out this entire time, moving ever forward using nothing but pure willpower to continue. It reminded him of the flowers he’d seen back home, growing through stone paths and buildings. A slow but unstoppable force from each flower, each leaf, adding to the pressure that would eventually crack those stones in half. You were strong – powerful – in your own quiet way, Cahara knew that. Admired it. Unfortunately….even as tough as you were, you weren’t built to endure this place. No one was.

“I know,” he said with a sad smile, extending his arm to you, “C’mere.”

Cahara barely had time to blink before you’d launched yourself into his lap, trembling arms wrapped around him as tight as they could go. He froze for a moment; startled by how quickly you’d moved (he sometimes forgot you could be so fast) his arms finally coming up to pull you in closer.

He hummed softly to you a while, a song from when he was young, lightly rocking the both of you as you tried to relax in what he hoped was a safe room. The two of you had gotten separated from Ragnvaldr and Enki one, no, two a few days ago and had been running since. You were visibly exhausted and Cahara worried you wouldn’t be able to run much longer.

With any luck, one of them would spot one of the markings Cahara had left around the dungeons, coded messages meant to guide them to one hiding place or another. Hopefully they’d find the right one. He huffed a quiet laugh into your hair as he pictured Enki angrily decoding each message they find, spurring Ragnvaldr onward so he could scold the two of you for getting so lost. That was one angry rant he’d be happy to listen to, he decided, as long as it meant you were all back together.

Cahara hugged you a little tighter, relieved that you seemed to be getting some rest. He tried - and failed - to stop his wince as he adjusted the bandages covering the mangled, bloody stump of his right wrist, one simple phrase repeating in his head.

“I’m scared too”

mori and dazai are such an interesting relationship and it sucks that any analysis of them is bogged down by talks of experimentation and/or pedophilia

#you meet a 14 year old because they tried to kill themself. you need a witness #he keeps trying to die and you save him because hes a diamond in the rough. he reminds you of yourself #what did that mean #during 15 moris already teaching him. he makes a point of explaining how he manipulates chuuya using the sheep #dazai talks about that undercooked meat theory thing with rimbaud #in volume 8 when mori talks about war strategy dazai explains it saying a 'certain someone beat it into his head' (which is a saying guys) #when dazai talks about guivre being the perfect opportunity to die mori stops him by TEASING HIM. like dazais his kid and hes got a crush #he keeps a spot open for him. hes a traitor. he has been for longer than he ever was a mafioso #dazai was clearly amicable with him until mimic #grgrrgrhhhfrgr #theres so much to talk about i wish we would

so, this ones technically not a fix it because its still major character death but this is how i would tweak the canon story to give Izzy's death meaning and weight.

First of all, Izzy doesn't get shot by Ricky. The crew of the revenge may still be absolute rookies by Izzy's standards but even they know to take all the weapons off a hostage and unload any guns. Ricky still escapes and alerts the Navy, and our crew are running through the woods, down to the beach and Izzy is still falling back. For all his new prosthetic has helped his mobility immensely, its no good for running. Its clunky and dragging behind him and Ed and Frenchie and Jim and everyone keeps slowing down to make sure he's keeping up with them, but in doing that the navy are quickly catching up to all of them, they're being swarmed.

They break through the trees onto the beach, with more and more men coming up behind them. Izzy's struggling even more across the beach than he was in the woods, the hoof sinking in and sand shifting as he tries to run, and he stumbles. All the while Navy men continue to appear from all directions- and it hits him. That this is it. There's no way they will all make it out alive.

But he's Izzy Fucking Hands and even if he cant run anymore, he can still fight. He can fight for this crew, this family, these people who have given him so much, who have opened their arms to him when he was at his lowest, who have allowed him to feel free. He can still fight. He can buy them time.

So he turns, and draws his sword.

There was never any way he could win, of course. Even when he truly was the best swordfighter in all the Caribbean, fighting dozens of navy men at once would have been beyond him- but he can distract them, hold them off long enough the revenge sets sail. Its a glorious sight, one man against dozens, bodies falling around him as he holds them back. Its impressive to watch, and maybe, for a second, the crew allows themselves to hope. But then, he takes a cut to his sword arm, and another to his side.

And then he goes down.

But he goes down fighting.

Izzy Hands, who spent his whole life fighting dies that way too, fighting for the safety he spent his whole life searching for.

#i wanted to have jim hold a dinghy for him waiting to see if he could escape until the last second but i think they knew #that he would never try to escape if it brought even a chance of risk to them #its just. the season spends so long talking about who izzy is- hes revered in their community; he has a reputation; hes one of the best. #+ also showing the building of his relationship with the crew; learning how to be loved by them and love in return #he spends the start of the episode talking about how it's all for the crew for fucks sake why could we not see him die in defence of that? #using his proficiency at sword fighting to keep his family safe one last time #nyxtalks #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #izzy hands #israel hands #fix it #resurrecting my finale week drafts now im a bit less bitter #i wanted to put something in about the crew protesting; because obviously they would; but it fucked with the flow of the post. #and again. i think they knew anyway #this was his hill to die on #also- some thoughts on why he could fight but not run: a) its fiction #b) hes actively been practicing his fighting with his hoof; hes been learning to compensate for it on a rocking boat #he'll have a lot more instinct on how to balance when his footing isnt stable; from his history and from sheer dogged determination #the way hes practiced hes learnt to use the leg to his advantage; or at least work around its hinderance. #he uses his hoof as his balance; propelling himself with his good leg; and i think itd be pretty simple to translate this through to sand- #standing still and letting them come to you; only moving in ways you feel comfortable. this has been his way of life for so long; #hes probably fought with injuries before; if nothing else; he can always figure out how to fight. hes had to

Doing a bit of a Santa Clarita Diet rewatch, and while I don't know intentional any of Abby's queer-coding was (and how much was just Hewson's vibes), her relationship with Eric has such teenage comphet energy. Like whenever Abby's like "I really care about you, more than anyone, but it's hard for me to pretend I'm into the physical; this has maybe a 2% chance of working out," my lesbian ass is just nodding so hard. Like, yeah! Exactly! You don't know you're gay yet, or you sense it in yourself and try to veer away, so what's the easiest option? You find the soft nerd boy, your best friend in the world, someone you absolutely trust to have your back no matter what, and go, "Yeah, uh huh, sure. I'll try that one." You absolutely look for the most non-threatening dude in the vicinity. And then it's improved by Eric's whole thing being like "yeah, this is absolutely someone I am down bad for, but if she doesn't wind up digging me that way, she's still my best friend." It reads so true. No idea if they were ever going to actually walk down that road, but in my heart of hearts? Here for it.

#santa clarita diet #i do not have a meta tag for this show and...i do not think i need one #but i get this a little more every time i revisit the show #some of it is almost definitely hewson's powerful queer energy but like. looking at the awkwardness of the sven thing lends to it too #you're trying really hard not to see yourself as a lesbian so what's the OTHER natural option to cling to? #the popular pretty boy #and it's just so awkward and uncomfortable #and then you get the winter friendship where there's so much chemistry and that just dumbass teen recklessness #that is innate to abby as a character but also SO present in first relationships for queer kids who are just incredibly excited to be In It #and then all the lil rainbows and shit in the costuming #yeah i'll die on this hill. lesbian vibes all the way for abby hammond i love this character so much #fun fact: my soft easy-cling friend of choice also happened to be gay #and while we literally never talked about it until we were adults i know we both clocked each other in like middle school #so shoutout to my buddy alex for being a safe 'yeah sure that can be a crush i never have to do anything about' person #a true legend of a man

Also one thing I didn't realize when Astarion is about to ascend is that you have to go into his mind and reach out to him to get him to stop- just saying "no, i refuse to help you do this" gets you the ending where he... well, leaves your team permanently and says that he hopes you die screaming. Maybe that changed since the time I played it but it's a massive wake up moment I feel. That at the end of the day you have to be soooo careful about how you present your refusal because he is not willing to hear it. No matter how "nice" he may become, no matter how close you two have become, he cannot handle the rejection outright. The 7,000 spawn are just collateral to him regardless.

#i remember playing as eins and going 'eins is fed up! we have told him he shouldn't ascend like five separate times! tell him no!!' #and then he was like i fucking hope you die. #maybe there was wording or nuance i missed in the options but it truly felt like a glass him situation #until i realized that yeah- asty really is that flawed. especially in a high stress situation like that. #he's pretty fucking messy guys. you really can't 'fix' him do not even try that's weird

hey if the only real difference between pidw and scum villain before shen yuan’s transmigration is shen jiu possibly dying of a qi deviation, then does that mean shang qinghua accidentally murdered shen jiu

#scum villain #svss #shang qinghua #??? #i mostly mean this as a joke but like imagine #murderous coward sqh (affectionate) just deciding he doesn't want to deal with cannon - #and he doesn't have the therapy license these characters need so he just assassinates sj #like well i've already done this much treason why stop now #then his visible discomfort with sy!sqq has less to do with sy's ooc behavior and more to do with like #sqh's contained panic at trying and failing to kill sj and expecting the other shoe to drop at any moment #because no matter how you feel about sj i thnk we all know: that bitch can hold a grudge #not really in line with cannon but it could be fun! #the other answer is that there are more changes but they're all granular politics from the northern demon realm #and thus sy wouldn't know/care #the other other answer is that sj didn't die on his own - #maybe the system decided sqh wasn't doing enough and offed sj to make room for sy #which would still make it related to sqh #just not in a 'sqh's presence is subtly offputting and digging into sj's insecurities - #which then destabilizes his cultivation base until he qi deviates and dies' sort of way #i'm sorry i just like to imagine sqh having a huge body count despite shying away from nearly all physical confrontations #it's good and funny every time #my posts

memory: when i was a toddler OMW back home with my mother on one of those intercity travel buses when we suddenly heard women screaming only for me to look down & see dozens upon dozens of cockroaches running up my legs & under my dress

#legitimately traumatized me for life #pretty sure i felt no way about bugs up until that point in fact beetles were my favorite to grab &play with in my kindergarten's... garten #sorry #there were hundreds of them running around everywhere on the floor. i have no recollection of what happened next or later that evening #apparently it was because of the hot weather & something about the bus that made it so that all those roaches escaped & dispersed everywher #still feel sickened when i hear that bus company to this day #Events That Formed My Sundowning Neurosis. soon as the lights dim i turn into a purely atavistic prey aminal #it happened again when i was with my cousin in the summer when my mother sent us out to get something from teh bodega #& my cousin was like trying to reassure me that no roaches were crawling up my legs but there actually were #it was just too dark to make out until we reached a lamp post O_O that was years & years ago BTW #IDC that they are harmless i wrote this post because there was one in my bathroom just now & all i could do was scream for help #apparently barely cos i was told it was a “pathetic scream” i was Paralyzed !!!! they were like what would you do if you lived by yourself #literally Die & let that thang take over my house IDKcaus i am not going anywhere near it #AUUURRRGHHHH go away pleeeaase. let Us be civil OK leave me alone please leave me alooone ( that one video ) #i have no fear of bees or wasps or whatever other ones libellules i forgot what the name was in english. oh dragonfly.

crazy how if you're not selling your time to an employer, suddenly everyone else thinks they're entitled to it. ie "you don't have anywhere to be, why can't you just do XYZABC for me?" as if i have nothing else important to do, ever, just because some authority figure isn't setting my schedule for me, or because those tasks don't bring me income, or whatever, it merely fucking keeps me alive. useless, I know

#me #and then they try to pull the 'we all have the same 24hrs in a day!' shit #no the fuck we do not. lmao. #being disabled is a 24/7/365 job with no breaks until i die. #being homeless is a 24/7 job. #i have to do so much shit all day that most ppl never have to think about #disability stuff #not to mention all the extra time i have to spend justifying my bare existence to everyone i fucking meet #its not just employers/employees or even housed/unhoused ppl. think of HOW MANY ppl could leave their abusers- #parents employers partners friends roommates schools anyone whos abusing them- #and just leave! #what if money was no object and no one ever had to put up w abuse in exchange for housing or sustenance. #it would render capitalism entirely pointless. #put that in your juice box and suck it

Arn seeing Timie on the street: aw what acute lil guy sure hope he isn't tormented!

And now poor Arnold got a little guy that wants to cling onto him when they're sad

#Arn is gonna be a cuddle buddy if he keeps up with being nice to Timie by accident #Timie is like a hissing kitten in my opion all ready to rip your fingers off until you pet them once and now theyre your best friend please #hold me NYYYYAAAAAAAAAA NYAAAAA #i just think its gonna be funny writing Arn slowly pieceing shit together over time until its jusg oh mf youre the hero of time arent you #no WONDER youre so messed up #but for right now hes just super confused about what just happened he just hugged Timie becaue it seemed like the right thing to do #and now youre bound to this dude by invoking destiny maybe we were supposed to meet again insane ass you just became #inexplicably tied to this dude and you will die all through one thing thats manifested itself as a red string of fate around both of you #congrats arn your kindness has just doomed you down the path that all dudes in Hyrule take when they get to close to the hero #(REDACTED) oh right wait thats massive plot shit thats something i dont wanna reveal #ITS NOT DEATH IT REALLY ISNT I AINT GONNA KILL HIM like forreal i killed arn once never again but its gonna be so silly goofy what his ass #just got tied up in all from just trying to help #maybe you shouldnt of been their canon event in the adult timeline being the one person they couldnt save but fucked up
