Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;

here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.

every now and then i think about how asagiri literally said bsd was made for people who aren’t good at living. like he was onto something with that

[kaurwreck]

the full quote from Kafka Asagiri (as translated) reminds me of this quote from Kokoro by Natsume Sōseki:

"My own past, which made me what I am, is a part of human experience. Only I can tell it. I do not think that my effort to do so honestly has been entirely purposeless. If my story helps you and others to understand even a part of what we are, I shall be satisfied. Only recently, I was told that Watanabe Kazan postponed his death for a week in order to complete his painting, Kantan. Some may say that this was a vain sort of thing to do. But who are we to judge the needs of another man's heart? I did not write simply to keep my promise to you. More compelling than the promise was the necessity which I felt within me to write this story."

“I didn’t know you had moles down your back.”

Kiyoomi pauses briefly to look at you over his shoulder, post shower body care being interrupted with your statement.

“We’ve been together for how long and you never knew that I had more moles on my body?” He asks, going back to applying his moisturizer. “Do you even look at my body?”

“Only the important parts,” you say, shrugging as you let your eyes wander slightly. There are more than a few freckles and moles on the broad space of his back, tracing like a constellation against the paleness of his skin. They lean along the right side of him, a few scattering on the left for an intricate design-

“Holy shit, stop staring at me,” he snickers, his eyes looking at you in the mirror. “I have moles. You kiss the ones on my forehead every morning. Chill.”

You get up and stalk over to him, arms wrapping lowly around his waist and face nuzzling into the dip of his back, “gonna have to kiss these ones too; they’ve been neglected too long.” You plant a few pecks to the bigger ones along his shoulder, and you smirk at the goosebumps that raise from your affection. “Ticklish?”

“I’ll knock you out with this lotion bottle,” he snarls, continuing his routine with you merely an add on to his body.

“Whatever.” You let your nails rake up the dip of his hips, only letting him go when he hisses and bumps his back against you to get you off. You kiss his warm skin one last time before making your way back to the perch on your shared bed, watching as his muscles and moles contort with every shift of his broad body as he applies his deodorant.

“What else are you hiding from me?”

“I’m having an affair,” he says simply.

“With who? Meian?”

“Yes.”

“You could never score Meian.”

“You’re just mad because Meian saw and admired my moles before you.”

You let out a few snorty laughters while he smirks to himself in the mirror, the night settling down into nothing uncommon or surprising, but perfect all the same.

God, you adore him.

“You’re ugly.”

“I love you too.”

I'm having so many feelings about how the ADA was basically created for Ranpo. to protect him, help him carve a place for himself in a society that shunned him and left him to fend for himself, and it was created by a man who knew him for less than a day, saw a lost, hurt child and decided to take him under his wing.

(Though Ranpo had to pester him into it, I like how he saw an upright, jaded man, a good man, and decided to put his trust in him).

Moreover, Fukuzawa didn't really have a stable job, was drifting around, but decided to help a complete stranger who needed it.

He (unintentionally, and most likely regretted it afterward), gave Ranpo a crutch, something to believe in, helped him to accept himself and the society around him. He literally helped Ranpo to look at the world in a different light. Got a Gifted Ability Permit to create a safe space for Ranpo. Surrounded the other with good people who will accept him and understand.

The entrance exam isn't just to test their capabilities, it's also a sort of litmus test to test their character, to weed out people who will accept Ranpo as well.

It's always interesting to debate when Ranpo 'found out' that he's just a normal person, and I honestly think he always knew, he just didn't want to face it, until the showdown with Poe happened.

Ranpo most likely saw through Fukuzawa's lie from the start: he did say that the glasses were just an ordinary pair of glasses, but he needed something to trust, so he intentionally ignored the truth and believed in the lie instead. (remember, he was just 14 when he was orphaned, and didn't understand why he saw more than others. The people his parents sent him to didn't understand him and shunned him. He was emotionally vulnerable).

And right now, he's watching as all the president built for him chip away and crumble, he's had to face betrayal at the hands of someone Fukuzawa trusted, watch people die out in front of him. He's suddenly thrust into the forefront of this uphill battle, with almost no one to trust

There isn't really a point here other than that I just love these two's found family dynamic and how it all started, I remember how happy I was when I found out that there was an actual light novel written about the founding of the ADA.

my thing with the back and forth discourse about this movie is you can theorize till the cows come home over whether something is "feminist" or not, but, ultimately, if it's causing many women (who might not necessarily be ~politically radical~ or whatever) to wake up to the reality of their oppression, i would argue that it's more of a force for positive material change than sniping at people over tiny nuances of theory on the internet.

Fives: the ocean is a soup

Y/N: do elaborate

Fives: what is needed for something to be a soup?

Y/N: well. . . Water, salt, some form of vegetation, and personally I prefer some meat in mine

Fives: *tilts head*

Y/N: the ocean is a soup

Fives: the ocean is a soup

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

Since i came to know "ghee" is "vagina" in Irish, the phrase "chaaro ungli ghee mei hona" is not the same anymore
