Sketches!

I wanted to post something else, Bungo Stray Dogs Beast related, but I felt too lazy to resume my work. So here we are!!!

These are some things I drew today, motivation and energy spike. There are more, but they looked awkwardly placed here (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

Last two pictures are my OC, Engel!! She is anxious and silly(⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Odasaku!

No cool poses for today, just Odasaku💗

I like Sakunosuke!! He is my comfort character. He is so cute and sweet (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡ I want to pepper his face with kisses

You look like someone who’s had an unhappy childhood. You’re so sensitive—more’s the pity for you.

Stay with us🚪

Aaa, this feels a little messy, especially with Anne, but I tried to not let the background be void again🥲

Lucy!! This is my first time drawing her! Hope you enjoy it, I did work for more hours than usual(⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

Insecure steps🐾

Yeyy, my first posted drawing! Hopefully I'll continue being active (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) I love Atsushi! He is such a sweetheart. We have the same personality types!

[stainedbandages]

Beginning!

Hellooo!

The title is self-explanatory,

Somewhat!

This might be the time when I finally decide to give some life to this empty (yet chaotic) account.

Actually, I was considering doing this for some months, but just now I am actually doing something about it! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

So let's talk a bit about this account:

Content

From this account, you can mostly expect amateurish fanart of fictional characters and sketches of my original characters.

Despite my grammatically incorrect and messy speech, there is also a small possibility of fictional stories or discussions about fictional characters too, but I might be too embarrassed to actually post them. I am not a writer, but it's fun to put ideas into words and to use those words in a beautiful manner, you know? (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Fandoms

The fandoms are very limited, unfortunately! But primarily expect:

-Bungo Stray Dogs

-Demon Slayer

Along with other smaller things like:

-Genshin Impact

-Sky, Children of the Light

-Anything else that crosses my mind!

Activity

Predicting it to be very unstable. Frequent or regular activity shifting into absence that can last for over a year. It is possible (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

Safety

I cannot predict how this account will change in the future, but seek with caution. Warnings should be included at the start of the posts that require them

Requests/Asks

Tell me anything! Even if I don't respond to it, I am sure that I will see it (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠ ⁠)

…⁠ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ

I don't know if anybody is going to see this, but that's alright! Might as well try to organise things here, for now. I may not even post after this, but it's a good way to start :3

Well then, reader, let us meet again, if we live. Let us keep our spirits up. Do not despair. Goodbye.

When people really love someone, they end up not wanting to force themselves to say words of love. They feel confident that their love will be transmitted bit by bit to the person they love. The one who loves has the humble pride that the beloved will one day realize that they are loved, even if no words are uttered.

All the suffering I have gone through has been because of my own stupidity.

Happy Birthday Dazai Osamu-sensei!

To celebrate Dazai Osamu’s birthday here are his top three quotes from my blog:

Quote #3:

Grown-ups are lonely people. Even if we love each other, we must be careful not to show it publicly. And why all this caution? The answer is simple: because people are too often betrayed and put to public shame. The discovery that you cannot trust people is the first lesson young people learn as they grow up into adults. Adults are adolescents who have been betrayed.

- Dazai Osamu, Tsugaru

Quote #2:

It made me miserable that I was rapidly becoming an adult and that I was unable to do anything about it.

- Dazai Osamu, Schoolgirl

Quote #1:

I was a flower petal about to fall. I trembled and quivered at the slightest breeze; at the slightest insult, I writhed about and considered dying. 

- Dazai Osamu, “Recollections” from The Saga of Dazai Osamu

Love was something she did not believe in. One hides one’s feelings for a man, but eventually they come out as clearly as the random patterns on a cloth. And then, there are the barriers that keep the two apart. One suffers waiting for a man who does not come. It is not a pleasant thing, love.

Higuchi Ichiyō, “Encounters on a Dark Night” from In the Shade of Spring Leaves

“Take my hand when you are lonely,” he heard her say. “Rest your head in my lap when the world is cruel to you. Together we can play among the mountains and fields. The tears you hide from others you need not conceal from me - my sleeve will dry them all. I shall never hold you in contempt as others have, and, even if your character is flawed, I shall never despise you for your weaknesses. If there are secrets troubling you, offenses in the past that still torment you, tell me of them. It will cleans your heart and make you feel better. I shall always be beside you. When you are angry, when you are disappointed. When you feel ashamed. When you have failed and know discouragement. When all you want to do is flee the world and hide among the mountains. When murderous or thieving instincts have the better of you. When you yearn for the distinction of high rank and high office. When your life seems bereft of beauty and you long to see the flowers and the moon. When you are waiting for a wind to cool you, or a cloud to bring some rain. When your boat is adrift upon the waves, or your little hut amid the mountains is oppressed by raging storms. When you are buried deep within a valley where the sun can never shine. Or when the summer sun pounds down upon the earth. I am your water; I shall quench your thirst. When sleet and snow are falling, let me be your fur robe on cold winter nights. We were never meant to be apart. Who cares what the world has to say? Forget distinctions of good and bad and beautiful and ugly. There is nothing you should hide from me. You must come to feel at home here. In my arms, in my lap.”
