Mine: I'm sick of hearing about your stupid orphans. Kiryu: What did you just say? Mine: I hate orphans. Kiryu: Say that again to my face. Mine: I hate them! Kiryu: Come again? Mine: I hate all the orphans in the whole world! (Cue "Fly" theme)

People who don't hyperfixate will never know the slightly horrible, completely impossible-to-replicate feeling of being so intensely invested in something it possesses you, takes over your waking thoughts and rides some weird line between being excited, anxious, and stressed as hell while still being entirely some other beast.

[syzygy-yzygy]

For me the stages of hyperfixation go:

1. Initial interest. I like it, it's on my mind, but it's manageable.

2. Sudden obsession. This is the one that features the most strange needless anxiety. It's new and I'm obsessed with it I wanna chew on it.

3. Dedication. The obsession is just as strong as it was in the previous stage I'm just more used to it. It is a part of my life now. I am actively chewing on it.

4. Casual commitment. Still obsessed, but it doesn't dominate my every waking thought. Still thinking + talking about it tho.

5. Fading interest (ft. The Dread.) It doesn't bring me as much joy as it used to, but I haven't fully moved on.

6. Lost hyperfixation (ft. The Void.) I've based way too much of my life and opinions around liking this thing and now there's that horrible emptiness because my brain took the dopamine hits away.

And occasionally:

7. It returns with a vengeance

I ❤️ yakuza 0

I made it a goal to draw a ship for every one of the kiss prompts from this template and I DID IT. (It was supposed to be for Valentine's Day but uh I was held up so don't worry about it).

Full image below because I drew these all on the same canvas sksksk

fuck that psychokinetic penthouse light show bullshit in theater square… making oda carry this briefcase was tachibana’s ultimate power move. like, imagine you are oda and you’ve been desperately campaigning to be mrs. tachibana real estate for years and then one night your hot boss finds some pretty young thing shivering in the rain in a cardboard box on the side of the road and not only does he bring his new sugar baby home and immediately drape him in his finest versace bathrobe, he also makes you supervise his new sugar baby at work… and then less than 72 hours later, he makes you come with him to the tojo hq courthouse so you can carry his sugar daddy dowry briefcase down the aisle, like some kind of sick and twisted ring-bearer. this was a brutal act of petty gay psychological warfare. tachibana wanted this shit to hurt and he wanted it to hurt as much as possible. not to give oda any kind of credit or sympathy here but i’m honestly amazed he didn’t get into the company car after this and immediately drive all three of them into oncoming traffic

no. listen. fucking Listen. majima is the cinderella in 24-hour cinderella and makoto is the prince this is not some queer subtextual extrapolation this is just text.

majima, a dirt-poor indentured servant kept in check by an evil stepmother (shimano) and stepsister(s) (sagawa, and you could reach a little and say nishitani is the other one but he's more of a wild card).

he puts on a fake smile and embraces the toiling work in the hopes that one day he will make it out.

but then he gets a chance. a ticket out of his situation. he meets a fairy godmother...wen hai lee (STAY WITH ME OKAY)

the fairy godmother leads him to...the prince!! makoto!!!

other people, like the stepsisters/sagawa, just want to use the prince/makoto for wealth. cinderella/majima is the only one who truly cares for the prince/makoto. but they must part ways too soon, and the prince doesn't even know cinderella's name or what she normally looks like.

but what did cinderella leave behind?

[passports-pls-archive]

Nishitani would be so proud of current majima

I want to talk about one of my favorite Majimako moments because I'll never be over Majima looking with the most tender, agonizing expression at Makoto on that roof in chapter 16,

He understands everything, the empathy is so strong here she doesn't even have to say what she wants, he already knows—and that's probably what he feared from the very beginning. That the yakuza was going to destroy Makoto to the point the girl that went through hell and beyond and still managed to be sweet and kind (to him, even!! Like he doesn't deserve it..) became something completely different, because Makoto has it in her.

Like he has it, too.

Not that he'd love her any less, but Majima, despite all the yakuza pride and identification, is very much aware of what the yakuza is and what it does. They did it to him, and it's difficult to believe that scars like those will ever disappear. As much as I recognize that his final choice to leave Makoto behind is related to the danger and the suffering she would face in that environment more than anything else, I think that another big reason for him to cut her out of his cursed life is that he doesn't want her to turn into someone she doesn't have to turn into.

(And yes, I can probably talk about all the juicy headcanons out there with Makoto as a gokudo wife, but maybe another time)
