I met Nicolas Roye (Chuya's English VA) yesterday and let me tell you...it was an experience! No one else was in his line so I got to really talk to him. (Plus when I told him I wanted "you fucked up, detective agency!" as the quote with his autograph, he then recited the whole scene to me in Chuya's voice and I just.....). Anyway we talked about the way his life almost went, the path life pulled me in, the people we were and are now......and then I noticed a very pretty wood like carving portrait for sale on his table and asked him to sign that too. He said he had just commissioned an artist the day before to make them (the artist had made a Toji one for him to sign and Nicolas liked it so much he asked him to make Chuya in the same style) and I was the very first person to get one and get it signed. So he wrote #1 on it as well. The person helping at the booth told me I should get it authenticated at the authentication booth because it's so special...so I did! It was a very special day for me and I have a lump in my throat just thinking about it (and probably always will).

Ok I just met him again!!! I went up, and again he had no line, and I'm like do you remember me?! He's like oh yeah! You got the #1 picture from me. And you ship Chūya and Ranpo! I'm like 😭😭😭 yes that's me! And then he proceeded to tell me about him and Landon 　(Ranpo's VA) are good friends and hang out a lot. And he told me some different stories with the two of them including the time they went to Alabam and had the same burgers 3 nights in a row. Lol! Such basic stuff but he was feeding me good and I was eating it up. Now I just hope Landon comes to a con close by again soon so I can have him sign the other side

Hello! it's always been a bless seeing see your beautiful art, they're always impressive and dynamic<333 May i request gakuen chuuran? They interact in recent gakuen chapter, seems like ranpo is teasing chuuya? it's been so long since i saw them together, it made my day

When i saw their new interaction in gakuen my first thought was Ranpo annoyed the hell out of Chuuya until he gave up and giving him half his lunch. Chuuya learned the lesson and brought more food (just in case he's getting robbed again)

Thank you for your suggestion 🥺🥺 i had fun drawing this!!

My ship in Gakuen?! Have i died? Is this my heaven?

Atsushi leans down, hovering at the edge of the bathtub, hand extended, fingertips brushing against Akutagawa's jawline and gently guiding him to look up. The glow of the halogen lightbulb feels as if it's burning his eyes. Its light settles on the whites of Atsushi's hair, making them look like a halo around his hair. And maybe Akutagawa's mind is still too groggy from the blood loss because it feels all too fitting.

Happy birthday, Dazai!

I genuinely cannot explain to a non-writer what it feels like when a chapter suddenly clicks. it's not satisfaction. it's not relief. it's this horrible specific feeling like you just remembered something you never knew. like the story was already there and you finally stopped being in the way of it. i don't know what to do with that feeling. i just close the laptop and stare at the wall for a bit.

[luna-azzurra]

Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

Ranpo: your seduction tactics don't work on me

Chuuya, confused: I am not trying to seduce you

Ranpo: ...

Chuuya, smirks: would you like me to seduce you?

this is true and all. but also never stop talking about your ship because if it’s what makes you happy then you can and should talk about it for yourself and your own enjoyment too.

there’s nothing wrong with the tweet in the screenshot, but I feel like we’ve forgotten that shipping and fandom are first and foremost for ourselves and our own enjoyment, not if the ship is popular or if there’re enough people shipping it.

just have fun. fandom and shipping is about yourself and your own enjoyment.

We write for ourselves, but we post for others.

(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)

So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,

and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing

but i also think:

“i write for myself, but i post for others.”

because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.

people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,

and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:

“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”

especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,

and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.

And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

and then it’s like,

does anyone see me? does anyone even care?

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

how I sleep knowing as a fanfic writer who writes for herself and her own enjoyment first and foremost, I have the power and the freedom to write whatever I want however I want forever

chuuya, easily one of the most dangerous ability users in the manga, surrounded by heavily armed guards: eh, you don’t seem like the combat type, so i’m just gonna let you go—

ranpo, an ordinary-ass person, completely alone:
