Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud

#atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #24/10/22 #I think it's not even that unlikely to happen either? To name one‚ something of the kind already happened in 55 Minutes #(Akutagawa being assigned to hunt down pm traitors and Atsushi infiltrating in the same group– same target‚ different goals) #I just think fic writers should let go of the trope of them being assigned to the same mission by a collaboration between organizations– #which is‚ let's be honest‚ so unlikely to happen and even in canon was a one-time occurrence #(yet is such a recurring expedient in fanworks!!!) and embrace the potential of Atsushi and Akutagawa being assigned to the same mission– #from their respective organization AS ENEMIES and unexpectedly meeting on the field. #The surprise!!! The romantic tension!!!! C'mon it's so good!!!!!!! #The eventual begrudging come to a temporary accord!! That is something they chose and is not imposed!! #The turning their back to the other last minute to guarantee their own victory!! #The playing everything from the beginning again and again like a loving dance!!! Now THAT'S a good trope. #Sskk typical unconventional mating rituals right here #And since y'all really like matchmaker Dazai you can still have him getting in touch with Chuuya– #and see to which parallel missions Atsushi and Akutagwa can ~accidentally~ be assigned together lmao #Btw this was largely inspired by Sway With Me by atsumara_co on ao3 that fic opened me a world. #The quoted line is partially reprised from that I couldn't help it it's such a great scenario #Usual disclaimer that you should really write whatever you want #this is more of a reflection on my personal tastes based on what I've found to be popular in the fandom #I've already talked about this before like I can't bring myself to hold it against authors because it is an easy way to make them interact. #Still for me it really cheapens their dynamics if you make them repeatedly join forces like it was the norm... #It stripes the value of them being from enemy organizations do you get what I mean? #Kyotag out

Still thinking about the anon from yesterday and the more i think about it the more mad i get like you're insane for calling kaeya mid i hope you blow up. Bitching in the tags ft arguments my smart sexy boyfriend brought up yesterday while we were talking about this so credit where credit is due

#🗨️ #LIKE. #kaeya-diluc brotherly issues are interesting because kaeya is by far the most interesting character in the game sorry #like. genuinely i wanna know what they meant by the two of them having a “trope that's been handled better by other media” #because their deal is not just ougj brothers fighting #it's specifically about kaeya being adopted and about his conflict with belonging to a nation and a community and a family #and his loyalty to his duty and his birth family vs his loyalty to the city and family who took him #the only thing i could think of that has handled similar themes better is the untamed but that's literally a show based on a novel #so i feel like comparing them is a bit unfair #like ofc i know there's sibling drama out there 🙄 but that's not why kaeya brotherly issues are interesting #there's his dynamic with diluc his dynamic with crepus AND diluc's dynamic with crepus too #other than kaeya' #s whole thing with his birth father #idk. kaeya haters need to die a thousand deaths #i am Not articulate enough rn I'm still dying from back pain but you get me. you agree. if you don't you can fall over snd exlode #like there's a specific power dynamic at play in regards to the adopted child survivor of a fallen nation being rejected for that fact by #his adopted brother. on the night of their father's death. like yes i know diluc is stupid yes i know they still love each other as brother #even if their relationship is tense i know it's set up for eventual reconciliation #but just kaeya's whole deal IS about family. in general. #a bunch of characters' deals are about family in general like i could start listing them and it wouldn't end it's just like kaeyaaaaa #kaeya. is the guy of all time

dang. thinking again abt zhongli being a widower

#also just the whole trope of character whose death colors an entire narrative #like guizhong's death doesnt loom over traveler's story but #like thinking abt them mourning her #talkative af xianyun not speaking other than to activate sigils during the war after her death #zhongli incorporating her cleansing bell and glaze lilies into the rite of passing #ping retiring her magnum opus bc the one who resonates w her soul is gone ?!?! #what the fuck #guizhong has two hands and xianyun is her nerd bestie #also wasnt her death the first time guizhong saw zhongli cry or smth. WHAT IF I KMS #i just know it took so long for zhongli to feel ready again to step foot in guili plains #god. there is no doubt in my mind that even if it took thousands of years it was guizhong's initial love for humans that planted the idea #for everyone to eventually move to liyue harbor #to experience and understand something dear to their loved one #OURGHHHHH #also not to mention lover's oath playing in guili plains. OH IM SICK #zhongli....................... #ACK. also just remembered glaze lilies like music #OHHHH GUIPING IS SO CRAZY #falls to my knees

i am dangerously close to making my own interpretation of superman

#soren.txt #maws needs to come back before i do something insane #anyways. so what i was thinking of was pulling the same idea maws had #with the main cast being significantly younger #and lois treating her internship like a bootcamp. the idea is so funny to me id kinda love to write it #but then she breaks away from this because of superman. the call to adventure if you will #and clark sorta had a rough time growing up because of his powers #maybe some accident happened which caused him to overcorrect himself so he doesn't use his powers at all #so metropolis is a completely new start for him #BUT during his senior year of highschool is when pa dies #so when he comes to metropolis the trauma is still somewhat raw? especially since he spent the next few years #trying to keep a brave face for the sake of ma because he feels like that's all he really *can* do #he may or may not have some guilt because he feels like he could've prevented it from happening to begin with #i think jimmy would be a nice change of pace for him. grounding him a bit more n all. #while lois is practically begging him to join her. clark is very attached to his safe space with jimmy lol #anyways eventually itd get to the point of clois slowburn and lois building a *platonic* relationship with both clark and supes #because as ive expressed before i kinda wanted stupid love triangle shenanigans and also i love slow burn #and im obsessed with the powers connected to emotions trope that im dialing it up a notch

Kurumi & Lambo are playing around during after-school hours but then, a series of idiotic and unfortunate events led to a malfunctioning 10-year bazooka finding its way to the Disciplinary Committee Leader, Hibari. Apparently, he switched places with his past self. (This takes place during Daily Life Arc)

This was inspired from @social-muffin's suggestion! It was only supposed to be the rkgk above but then it went out of control and now I made some comic out of it 👁️👄👁️

It's been a while since I made long comic like this and I didn't really have it planned when I started drawing it so I just went with whatever *looks* like it would be ok.

For this one, I did plan on making Kana & Younger!Hibari's dynamic into something similar to a common trope in manhwa: Emotionally Constipated Cold Father (Kana) & Traumatized/Neglected Affection-starved Daughter (Younger!Hibari) 🤣🤣🤣 Then after some development, the father is now somehow super overprotective of the daughter 😆😆

I already have an ending that I can imagine for this scenario, but I'm still considering if I should draw a next part eventually 🫡🫡

(Tagging you just in case I pass out from being tired after posting this @amiahoshi)

#i tried being a bit more clean with the lines eventually but i gave up #i love my ocs 1000% and yui slander is always my go-to; but kana slander actually hit different lmfao #bullying ur faves from time to time is free therapy #also if u know the manhwa im referring to with that trope; good taste !! XD #claude & regis <3 <3 babygirls #+ i got to try out drawing the other boys too! :D i think i need more practice #i wanted to color this but i might go insane from stress so i didnt #if u see grammar/spelling mistakes; no u didn't; im too lazy to correct them #art #original character #oc #khr #khr oc #hibari kyoya #ninomiya kanako #ninomiya kurumi #yorimitsu yui #sawada tsunayoshi #oniyanagi #hibakana #.....NOW HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO POST THIS ON MY OTHER ACCTS #time to revive my poipoi acct #einart

anyway though i'm gonna write an essay on why kyle isn't a nice guy/incel bc I feel like someone's gotta do it and I'm shocked I haven't seen it done already

#haha like i make jokes he is bc it's funny but i've been seeing ppl who genuinely think it and... odfsfsf #LISTEN you can think what you want. go off have fun. BUT LIKE. the show canonically doesn't really present that idea #and i wanna talk about that bc I think even going beyond my love for Kyle as a character #tratt actually have done some impressive writing around character tropes like that that sorta flip the idea on it's head #and write kyle in a way that's way more unique and intriguing as well as tied to other behavior of his that makes way more sense than #'oh he mad he didn't get the girl' or whatever #me talking #in general sp rarely writes its characters that generically. they're usually more complex than that and I appreciate it a lot #bc those tropes are boring and old imo as well as rarely being critical of the behavior itself which is often pretty sexist #and south park manages to criticize it while also completely going against it and someone HAS to discuss it bc if I don't. WHO WILL #probably someone else eventually but listen i'm gonna do it soon >:)))

I want to write a soulmate au sometime. It’s one of my favorite tropes, personally, and I don’t remember there being that many of them for America/Germany

#ameger #gerame #it’s kinda hard to choose among all the diff variations of the trope tho #red string? countdown timer? first words? first words and it requires handwriting? hmmmm #eye color changing/gray and white world stuff #and ageing #i Wonder what their relationship would be like with th expectation that they would fall in love #i think it wouldn’t go very well for awhile tbh #of course there’s also the soul mates being kept apart story #and when you throw in aging my mind immediately jumps to Dorian Gray esque territory #where Alfred purposefully avoids Ludwig because he enjoys the idea of effective immortality #and Ludwig kinda goes with it at first cause Alfred seems like a selfish douche #but eventually he gets tired of being alive (maybe his friends/family are gone by then) #and he has to debate with himself if it’s even possible for him to love Alfred after this #if it would be worth it trying to get Alfred to fall in love with him #could they actually have a happy ending? #oof I’m making myself sad #can you tell I really liked picture of Dorian gray in high school? #hws germany #hws america

petition to stop using “found family” in reference to any piece of media that includes an ensemble cast

#angel.txt #this isn't meant to be negative nor is it motivated by anything big #i think i just saw a post the other day that was along the lines of ''i just love a ragtag group of misifts'' and i was like oh #a lot of things that i have seen grouped under ''found family'' have that sort of vibe #like there is... a Difference. between found family and friends and maybe even chosen family as well #like.. star wars rebels is found family. tales of arcadia is chosen family. the owl house is friends #and even when it comes to smth like tales of arcadia it depends on the characters? #like blinky as jim's dad is chosen family similar to how strickler as his eventual stepdad is chosen family #but something like douxie + jim + claire + steve is friendship #or even smth like merlin + douxie feels a lot more like a mimicry of familial structure combined with a mentor/student dynamic #than it does any sort of found or chosen family #not every group is ''found family'' #and i get its more of an all-encompassing trope name more than anything else but i also just. idk. think there should be a distinction #wow this got long lmao apparently i have Thoughts #i love all these tropes sm but i just. i simply wish they were given more distinction #bc lumping every kind of non-biological group dynamic into ''found family'' kinda dismisses each of their nuances and complexities #media analysis & critique #i think i rb'd a similar post awhile back with a bit of an aro lens? #idk lmao

#contemplating the existence of loving yet uncommitted relationships. relationships of mutual convenience not romantic but still not platonic #tag talk #like. I want intimacy. I want to love and be loved. but the usual understanding of that is that you are committed. you are locked in. #taking a break from a relationship is code for “we're breaking up”. there's is no getting out without destroying the bond #I wonder if the classic Tom Cruise c love a woman but next movie she's dead“ trope could be seen as a version of that. #a socially acceptable way to love someone until you're done and then move on to the next thing. #a lot of my hookups have been a one time deal even though I would have liked to see them again. because they got too attached. #people see love and presume romance. people see openness and presume emotional connection and commitment. #if your friend is having a rough time and needs to disappear for a week. that's okay. but a partner suddenly can't. #there's less permissable distance in a romantic relationship. #why can't I do the classic spaghetti western thing? ride into town. help out and be appreciated for it. and then leave when I feel it's time #cue that magnificent seven quote that's like “cowboys are like the wind and farmers are like the land”. there are different ways to live #and social interaction is a numbers game. meeting people until you finally find someone you're compatible with. #and the more particular or non-standard you are. the more your success pool narrows. or at least that's how it feels #I know the reality is that there's more relationship diversity out there than it seems. because divergence is suppressed and hidden. #but that contributes to it being harder to find. more difficult to seek. more culturally shameful to pursue. #I don't think I've ever seen a fwb relationship in media that's not either played for laughs or turned into a romance eventually #the classic “men want fwbs and women want a committed relationship” ☠️ it's not a concept that gets taken seriously. #I just.. ugh. I feel like I'm pushing against the entire weight of my upbringing because what I innately desire is so far from acceptable #and I've unlearned so much self criticism and policing. but there's so much more to go and I just. ugh. it's so exhausting

I mean like yeah sure I've got my preferred ship but honestly I'm just happy whenever Batman gets to be railed like the man has EARNED it

#Im just such a sucker for the long time partners slow to trust but eventually relying fully on each other trope #that it usually comes down to either Gordon or Clark #and until recently it was actually Clark for me #but now im a little more obsessed with men with soft tummys... thank you david harbor #and also for some reason i just fucking LOVE a long-term closet case who thinks its been too long to ever think about changing NOW except.. #'...expect theres just... something about you... that makes me want to try.' #*older middle aged men with soft tummys specifically

And i also love incomprehensible amounts of senseless violence

#luly talks #prision break #animal factory #el marginal #could tag more shit like papillon and riot and vendetta and felon and etccc but that's besides de point #but god do i looove prison shows and movies #i think i also love it bc it's that beloved trope of mine that of having a bunch of strangers stuck together #i love that sm #but man i just rlly like this subgenre :) #i need to rewatch animal factory eventually 🥺

[vaugarde]

sadly removes shadow of kyoshi from my storygraph “currently reading” list bc i havent read it in months  and i forgot what happened but god im not interested in it rn as much as my other books

#augh im just. not as into atla i think. or into it enough to like forgive it when its boring me #im sad bc the first book was really gripping and good and i LOVED the villain's plotline a lot and thought he was fascinating #but now that hes gone entirely and 70 pages in the new villain hasnt shown up and its just a trope idc for? #idk its not gripping me as much. ill go back to it eventually but once ive actually finished some other books ive gotten recently #echoed voice

figuring out what tropes/writing styles/ideas suite different fandoms is very interesting to me as a fic writer because there are some stories that i want to write that i simply can’t see myself writing for 5sos because that’s not the right source material for it

#personal #for example: fics where no one smiles. me trying to write that sort of fic for the boys would be like forcing a round peg in a square hole #and i don't mean like an ansty breakdown fic or hurt/comfort #but one of those vibey fics that end semi-opened-ended #or like. a timeloop fic. #i love that trope so much but it's definitely better suited for exploring a particular canon event/characterization and not for rpf #not saying that it's impossible to write either of those fics for the boys #it definitely is #(i would like to eventually find a way for me to write both in this fandom) #but it would be a lot easier to write them for a different fandom #just because of tone or the way that real life works vs. fictional storylines #because i personally like my fics to ''make sense'' for the fandom i'm writing for #like. if the characters or dynamics or events bear absolutely no resemblance to the source material than why am i writing that fic for that #fandom? is it really a fanfiction then or is it original fiction using other people's names? #i'm not judging anyone it's just a personal writing preference #anyway. just thinking about that a bit

It's honestly crazy that spirit channelling is also just shapeshifting at the same time. I'm really into the idea of possession, and the discomfort of being in a body that's plainly not your own, but with the Feys it's sort of the opposite, in that it's your body becoming entirely someone else's for some time. There's a lot of opportunity for exploring that in the body horror sense; the effects of a channelling lingering not only in the energy it requires to perform, but it being a physical sensation on your skin, in your bones, too. Your body readjusting to being in its proper shape, having phantom sensations of it having been someone else's and the different uniqueness of it.

#send post #My thoughts #It's also really fun in the sense of family ressemblance as body horror and in Maya's case specifically how the circumstances of her life #allow her so little space to be comfortably herself #There are always ties and reminders and for all of the story she has little choice in them #And the idea of her feeling this in a physical sense is really fun to consider! #Love a good ''body gets fucked up'' trope #Obviously this is something she eventually gets used to the more she channels and the more skilled she becomes at it but at first and when #we see her within the story... idk I do love thinking about it very much

trein...

#i want to write beautiful romance of him falling in love again #with some angst as he still loves and cherishes his wife and awaits their meeting once again #but maybe he comes to realize that his wife would want him to be happy... and that is all he feels with you #the heavy guilt.. he doesn't want to leave her and her memory behind #and it leaves him unwilling to pursue you #eventually though... eventually trein would let his guard down #maybe at first he's done nothing but compare you to his lovely wife (not aloud) but he comes to see the two of you are different #but both wonderful in your own ways #maybe it'd just end in him staying as your close friend and confidant.. he feels as though it's wrong to even think about loving someone els #trein is such a complicated character to simp for given his wife #and the fact he is canonically still very much in love with her #would he ever be able to accept the fact he may be falling in love again? #would he be scared that he is betraying her? would he be scared that you could go dying on him too? #omg imagine if he fell in love with you but you've only got so much time left to live.. #the trope of knowing the person you love is going to die.. yet still loving them anyways #makes me so weak! #or knowing that you will return to your world.. between that and his wife.. he decides to leave you be and admire from afar #up late at night talking with the moon (his wife) and asking her what he should do #is she okay with this? would she be angry once they reunited? #or maybe she sends him a message from above and lets him know it's okay to be happy even if it's not with her #he loved her once.. and still does.. but that doesn't mean she's all he ever has to have #trein should be happy even if that means it's not with her by his side #omg and imagine meeting his daughters at one point somehow and they just absolutely adore and fawn over you #they cherish you just as much as he does... and seeing you fit in so well makes him love you all the more.. #theyre trying to set their father up because they want him to experience the joy of love once again #he doesn't have to live in and reminiscence on memories he can still make new ones #maybe you give trein that feeling of youth once again.. and when he first meets you it's like the first time he saw his wife and he has a -- #-- crisis about it #might be going into the WIPS cause i have a million more thoughts on him #all the staff for that matter really. abt to blabber in rb's to this post later
