newtmasxphantrash is that u????

lmao hi! yes that’s actually my old username name from like a decade ago 😅

[bloodyinspiring]

Akutagawa can’t deny his affections at this point istg

(BSD Manga Spoilers Below!!)

Him literally being represented as a “Knight in Shining Armor” in this arc is making me loose my mind over him needing to avenge Atsushi because he thinks he’s dead :’D

[lilac-cat-draws]

Akutagawa "calmly" asking Atsushi out but it quick turns into that one first kiss meme with Akutagawa's going LETS F#CKING GO!!!!!!

This was a really funny image to think about, definitely how this will go down when he inevitably asks Atsushi out

[lilac-cat-draws]

I've always wondered what was Akutagawa's reaction to Atsushi's little half and half form for his ability is know that man was fumbling deep down😂

It took him a while to realise that he had awaken to something he wasn't ready for

How badly was he fumbling? he went through two sessions and didn't talk to him once

[paper-bugs]

OK correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the main 'yin/yang' parallel with Atsushi and Akutagawa is not something like 'this one is bad but secretly has a good side and this one is good but secretly has a bad side'.

I feel like it's more about 'who they are at their core vs who they choose to be'.

At his core Akutagawa is kind and at his core Atsushi is not. But despite this Atsushi tries every day to make the kinder choices and I love him so much for it. He has to work so hard to be good.

He wants to be a bitch SO bad I know he does but he tries his best to help people and be nice (sometimes he fails but that's OK <3)

Atsushi doesn't always WANT to help people, a lot of the time he's selfish and scared, but he does help people anyway. He keeps helping people over and over again. There's still some selfish motivation to it, and his initial motivation for helping people was because the headmaster told him that's all he was worth, but overall he does care about the people he helps and it weighs on him if he fails to save them. And of course, as the series goes on he starts helping people more because he can rather than because he feels like he needs to.

In Akutagawa's case, he's still capable of being kind but his environment led him into being someone who chooses to hurt people. But he's always been a protector at heart. In the start he was bad compared to Atsushi because he was choosing to hurt people and keep the cycle of abuse going. Just like how Atsushi developed in why he saved people, Akutagawa starts to get redeemed when he chooses to not just act on his rage. Not only does he start to spare people, but he speaks more kindly to them (apologising to Higuchi and telling Kyouka he's proud of her). It all culminates into the moment he chooses to help Atsushi and sacrifice himself for him, going back to his core value of being a protector. Even when he's finally revived, he keeps this role in his new position as Aya's Knight.

I kind of see the streaks of white in Akutagawa and the streaks of black in Atsushi not as their 'hidden sides' but as their fundamental selfs. That's who they are at their core, and their main colours (black for Akutagawa and white for Atsushi) are how they're presented to everyone else and how they try to have people see them as.

I AM WHEEZING

[copepods]

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

[copepods]

@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

[lintubintu]

@holyknuckled like that?

[holyknuckled]

oh? my god???

yeah, Exactly like that

Need to get me a snail hat, or at least witness one some day.

So, I made a thing...

A Shin Soukoku Saga (Twilight Parody Trailer)

[marlikesthings]

Shin soukoku moments - Part I

Part II - Here

This is what I call development (slow but there is development):

Akutagawa was someone who had to be avoided at all cost, a guy even the agency members avoided (except for dazai for obvious reasons)

This was when akutagawa only saw atsushi as a prey (before he knew he was dazai’s subordinate):

This was after akutagawa kidnapped atsushi, when he confronted him in the boat. At this point in time, dazai had already told akutagawa that atsushi was better than him:

Akutagawa only saw him as a weakling. Someone without any value, as seen below.

Shin soukoku moments - Part II

Part I - Here

I will continue writing here why I think their relationship is slowly developing.

This is the first time akutagawa and atsushi meet and don’t fight. Also, I think it’s interesting how akutagawa let atsushi go just because the headmaster had died. He showed pity, something that his past self wouldn’t have done.

Atsushi still don’t trust akutagawa and that is normal, the poor boy suffered a lot due to akutagawa’s jealousy. I am not planning to ignore this fact. 

Anyway, look at atsushi’s face here: 

Now going back to their relationship, what I liked about chapter 51 was how “normally” akutagawa and atsushi were talking. Akutagawa had no reason to start talking about himself or how he felt, but he felt comfortable enough with atsushi and without realizing it he just started speaking. I mean, this is the same akutagawa who looked at atsushi with intense hatred in the boat. Their relationship is still far from perfect. Akutagawa did think of killing atsushi once he realized what he was doing yet he still stopped for the sake of the mission. In the past, he let his instincts take over, now he is able to think rationally even when atsushi is in front of him. Of course the mission is important, but he always did what he wanted before, now he is acting differently.

“jinko two seconds more and I’ll drop you”

[bsd-bibliophile]

Take Japan, take any nation of the West; every nation is under the same heavens, illuminated by the same sun, enjoying the beauty of the same moon, sharing the same ocean, breathing the same air, possessing the same human sentiments. Therefore, whatever we have in excess we should give to other nations, taking whatever they have in excess, teaching each other and learning together, never ashamed or boastful, each fulfilling the needs of another, mutually praying for the happiness of all.
