Inaugurated Pride Month by bringing YoshiKaru to see the light of mainstream academia! 🌈

It is such a pleasure to achieve what I've always dreamt of : bringing out the potential of Japanese graphic narratives in all it's glory.

Here's the link/ DOI for those interested to read:

The Diegetic Pursuit of Threat by Delineating Altered Identities in Takopī’s Original Sin and The Summer Hikaru Died

The Diegetic Pursuit of Threat by Delineating Altered Identities in Takopī’s Original Sin and The Summer Hikaru Died SHERLINE MODAK Calcutta

My younger self, who loved applying her Literature Major knowledge to whatever media she'd consume, must be both proud and rather in disbelief.

Takopī’s Original Sin and The Summer Hikaru Died are two mangas that have had me by the throat, recently . Thus, I decided I must deliver to the best of my abilities!

Grateful always.

For this, and the many more to come. 🔮💜💫

I finally wrote the fic to explore Dazai's days after his defection from the Port Mafia. Basically him trying to wrap his head around this new journey he didn't know he would ever set on, while remembering certain very particular times spent with a certain very particular red-head.

Soukoku's bond took a turn post-Stormbringer, in my opinion. And they fell down the rabbit-hole deeper during their last years together. Because I said so.

Angst, super heavy angst, with lots of mutual pining. The last scene with Chuuya may or may not have been inspired from that of Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I only saw the parallels after I wrote it heh.

It's okay frens, 22! SKK are together and happy. (Right? Right?)

Continuation from the previous what if All Men Are Equal gave Chuuya total control over his ability, reverting it to its pre-lab state.

Maybe Chuuya can do something different. Maybe he could give it a try. It's not like he's being held by the Agency, he's free now, it's all up to him.

But I'd say Chuuya has never quite had this many options to make his choice from before.

Happy Birthday Dazai Osamu-sensei!

Dazai Osamu is by far the author with the most quotes on my blog, so to celebrate his birthday here are his top ten quotes:

Quote #10:

“It seems you’re not satisfied unless you always make yourself the protagonist in some tragedy.”

- Dazai Osamu, “A New Hamlet”

Quote #9:

“He could only consider me as the living corpse of a would-be suicide, a person dead to shame, an idiot ghost.”

- Dazai Osamu, No Longer Human

more of this cursed braces!dazai AU. he needs to re-evaluate all his nicknames now

[carrot-onabreak]

well i think about how chuuya was "programmed" to trigger corruption whenever he says his edgy little poem thing and how tf do you program a person? well you condition them. repeat actions and behavior, punishment etc etc. like training a dog...

thing is, N was purposely trying to get chuuya to go into corruption mode, which means he had a way to keeping him at bay or even deactivating it that means he would eventually have been able to become self reliant with corruption had he learned the escape sequence. But he never learns it, bc that would have meant enduring the torture for longer. He accepts never being certain whether he's ACTUALLY an human and not a lab made clone and lets DAZAI be his escape sequence instead. if anything that proves his humanity more, doesn't it? Humans rely on humans, and dazai and chuuya are humans, even if they aren't sure of it.

YOU CAN'T HIDE THIS IN THE TAGS

[cyrafoam]

so i made a bsd and sk8 infinity crossover...

[moonsliver98]

Does't Lilith (Diablo IV Anthem by Halsey ft. SUGA) sound too close to a Chuuya rebel-era, rising-from-the-ashes song?

"I can't call it love if I show it

I just fuck things up, if you noticed

Have you noticed?

Tell me have you noticed?"

Yay, yay my little emotionally-constipated kitty.

Yes, but on a serious note.

Let's regard the Outro of the song:

"The more that you give away

The more that you have

The more that they take."

Where having because of giving and giving because you have keeps overlapping. Sacrifice versus being used for your power.

The MV shows Halsey marching forward even as arrows, etc keep wounding her. Halsey's album from which the track is, is called If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power. The MV in itself reminded me starkly of Chuuya. Even better if it's set in the Beast AU where after Dazai's death, everything is basically thrust upon Chuuya even though much was quite literally taken away from him without him having even the least bit of say at all. Yet, at the end, he would decide to step upto the throne, no matter how bloody he gets:

"Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve

And fuck like a demon

Do it like nothin'

I am disgustin'

I've been corrupted."

The rage, the self-loathing tinged with I'm-too-deep-into-the-darkness-to-go-back-to-light, which Chuuya is known to cope well with due to superiorly honed emotional intelligence...where would we all go when he decides to wreck havoc, since he has every right to?

AND.

Imagine SUGA's part being the voice of reconciliation and purity of strength from the Canon Universe Chuuya. That makes it all the more interesting if it's regarded as coming from his other Self:

"I know you get too caught up in the moment."

Assurance.

"We just fuck things up,

Yeah, I noticed."

Validation.

"Don't dwell on the past, it's time to make a change

Look around, believe in what you see,

I've returned to hell."

- I've noticed in Stormbringer where Chuuya is shown as a person who does not mope about the past. Instead, he does his best to preserve and appreciate all that he has been blessed with in the present. Like, where he appreciated the Flags' gesture more than the photograph of his childhood itself, or when he chose to ride back to the Mafia instead of meeting his supposed parents.

Cue:

So the lyrics in the song is not only read as Canon!Chuuya standing as support to Beast!Chuuya, but also as someone who asks Beast!Chuuya to look around himself, accept the truth of the suffering, and head onward. For Chuuya, suffering itself has been an evidence of his humanity, his being. And that's something I found here again.

Hear me out, an SKK Old Love AU (Jeffrey Archer's short story).

Academic rivalry, but make it painters at loggerheads instead of English Language and Literature.

It's an art school for the elites. Osamu Dazai is the genius artist, with flawless skills and an attitude that verges on being intolerable. He's popular, with his abstract style of contemporary art, heavily influenced by Expressionism. And of course, that casanova way of his dating life.

He's part of the inheritance cycle, too, where the family assets, name and honour are passed on from generation to generation.

The professors are done with the serpentine personality, where none can beat the labyrinth of words and arguments he lays out for the other. But no one can do sht against him because he... surprisingly is fucking obedient, a disciplined student who does mostly everything his parents or the principal asks of him. Not one broken rule blinks on his forehead in stark, neon lighting.

In comes Nakahara Chuuya, thanks to the scholarship for his unprecedented talent at art.

Bold, brash, nothing like the other high-backed, arm-chaired students.

He chokes on the saccharine, perfumed air of the aristocratic brats and he makes that as clear as those five piercings on his ears and the jangle of those chains looped through his belt.

He is ferocious at his art.

Dazai thinks his subjects are akin to fire (just like the colour of his hair), yet they are not without this keen sense of sharpness, aloofness. A feeling that no matter how hard you push at those walls, they will not shatter (just like the icicle-blue of his eyes)

Chuuya's paintings are as unyielding as the season of winter. And Dazai, with his soul always blanketed withing the nothingness of his own solitude, is intrigued than he ever had been in his miserably sorry excuse for a life.

The two prodigies will collide each other at a break-neck speed.
