no pls i implore of you where is this ada vs pm dazai essay
I’m kinda shocked that you’re into it?
It’s more of a personal preference than an actual reason?
Dazai as a character that is in every way, should be a villain. He’s fundamentally written to be one. (no sense of right and wrong, relies on manipulation etc.)
But he’s not.
He’s not a villain.
He’s a person who is desperately trying to be better, he’s trying. He’s mentoring Atsushi, he’s learning from his co-workers and he’s doing better. There’s something more admirable in a person who fundamentally shouldn’t understand things like that actively trying to. Dazai doesn’t see himself as human as the people around him, but in reality, he’s just as human as they are and the ADA is/will be responsible for him realizing that he shouldn't try to be a god among humans and instead just keep trying to be human and that that’s enough.
The Port Mafia (as they do with so many other characters, keeps Dazai stagnant) He’s not growing.. He’s not changing. Instead, all his toxic thoughts about being above human and not valuing life are simply enforced. He is trapped in a state of being above human (Demon Prodigy) and he’s boring..
I love characters that are changing, that are growing...
And PM Dazai doesn’t do that.
And that’s why I prefer ADA Dazai. Because he’s more human, because he’s more Dazai.
So whenever people ask me, “Miki, do you want Dazai to go back to the PM?” my answer is always no.
AHHHH THANK YOU SMOLLYA IM ALWAYS UP FOR GUSHING ABOUT FANG
Favourite thing about them: This sounds completely counterintuitive but I love that he’s so annoying!!! There’s a reason I call him “whiny emo brat” and I mean it as affectionately as possible because he just is. He’s so petty and jealous and it’s the most hilarious and endearing thing. The more salty he’s being, the more I want to remove him from Kaizo’s custody and adopt him as my own little brother because he deserves a better sibling than that. Also, emo solidarity.
Least favourite thing about them: His dumb fashion sense oh god at least the Galaxy longcoat cape thing looks fine, but in BBBM2 he put the belt over the coat??? Bro what are you doing????? And don’t even let me get started on the fashion tragedy that is the mushroom helmet
Favourite line: it’s from the Hindi dub but in the OG show when he said “aur mujhe aisa nahi lagta ke tUM MUJHSE BAYTAR HO!!” (”And I don’t think that yOU’RE BETTER THAN ME!!” It’s good in all dubs but especially iconic in Hindi)
brOTP: all of the main squad!! Listen, Fang’s enemies-to-friends arc with them in the OG show was amazing. He goes from hating them (and especially BBB for the unforgiveable crime of being popular) to sort of tolerating them in a frenemy way, to betraying his own bro just to help them and even choosing to stay with them. It is GLORIOUS and actually makes me cry for real.
OTP: as a chronic shipper of goth-prep couples, obviously Boboiboy. All the yin-yang and ship tease is a pleasantly surprising bonus. (Also lowkey Ying, cause it’s cute. And Marinette. Don’t ask. No actually, please do ask, I’m dying to talk about Fanginette.)
nOTP: Hmmm... well I think of the Shieldblings as being more like siblings to him than Kaizo is, so them I guess?
Random headcanon: He listens to earthling emo music like MCR, FOB, P!atD, etc
Unpopular opinion: I don’t want to say he’s overrated, because I adore him to pieces and talk about him a lot, but like... hey fandom there’s other characters in the show too lmao
Song I associate with them: “POPULAR” BY ERIC SAADE (PERFORMED AT EUROVISION IN 2011 REPRESENTING SWEDEN) IT’S LITERALLY JUST FANG’S LIFE AS A SONG AND IT KILLS ME DEAD EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT
then sorry again because I’ll make this a two part answer because it’s really long. the first one is for bbb!

Saddest moment: I can’t spoil u about bbbm2 right? Don’t read the strikethrough if you don’t want to be spoiled after solar daun hali taufan was absorbed by Retak’ka, Kokoci forced bbb to save himself but bbb can’t leave his friends and tried to save them so that Gopal needs to hold him I NEARLY CRIED HHHHHHHH. The non spoiler one probably when Ochobot dies in bbbtm

What house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: I’d rather not---I don’t think I want to--I don’t think I want to be in bbb universe at all
Most boring plotline: Jugglenaut’s arc? I was very excited when Kaizo comes but errr. Kinda boring for me. Nova Prix episode bored me too.

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): the second movie has a lot of beautiful scene. My favorite one, which you also can see in the trailers, is when they’re standing in the rocks. it’s so aesthetacally pleasing. BBBM2 has a lot of beautiful scenery though
Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: Oh I have a lot and I think I’ve told you some, but I tried to not take this series seriously so it will not bug me that much

okay 1, your bruise giveS me LIFE but anyway that brotp hcs post got me thinking: umbrella academy au for ninjago? or ninjago au for tua... just consider...
yOOOO, thank you so much!!
And actually, I’ve seen a few people do this!! (including my awesome friend @spinharmony, they have the best ideas for AUs)
I do have some of my own ideas for it tho,,,
Ninjago Umbrella Academy AU
“Every year on the 12th hour of the first day of October, 43 women around Ninjago gave birth.
This was unusual only the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.
Master Wu, son of the First Spinjitzu Master, resolved to locate and train as many of the children as possible.
He got Six of them.”
(Character information under the cut!!)
Garmadon
Once upon a time, on the first day of October, two brothers were born; Wu and Garmadon. Their father, the First Spinjitzu Master, gave each sibling one of his powers - the powers of light and dark.
Years later, on the same date, 43 children that held similar powers were born. It was then that Garmadon, overwhelmed by the darkness inside him, betrayed his brother Wu, and left to find these kids, to kill them.
Wu
Ever since Wu, the wielder of light, parted ways with his brother, he knew he would have to find the children before him, and train them to prevent his evil from spreading.
Unlike Reginald Wu is actually a very good caretaker, who cares deeply for each of his students/kids. However, he is very secretive, as being too open in the past led to the demise of his son... (more on that later)
Morro (Number One) (Deceased)
Morro, was born 15 years earlier than the others. He was an experiment of the First Spinjitzu Master, a vessel to see how humans handled the powers he was planning on gifting them. His powers are summoning a tentacled creature The Preeminent, from his stomach.
Wu took a liking to him, and raised him as his own. However, Morro grew and became curious, and the more answers Wu gave him, the more he put himself in danger. Eventually, his power was what killed him, exploring it before he was ready.
Cole (Number Two)
Cole’s parents were hesitant about giving him away at first, but they trusted Wu’s judgement, and decided he was better off with him than dead. He is the leader of the team, and (surprising no one) has super strength as his power.
Cole struggles a lot with his role as the leader, always feeling responsible and carrying the weight of the team in his shoulders. The fact that “Number One” is missing from their team makes him wonder if he really is meant to be leader...
Kai (Number Three)
When Garmadon first started his journey in killing the kids, Ray and Maya were the ones he attacked first, resulting in their death. Thankfully, he did not find the children, as they had been hidden in a secret basement that Wu knew of.
Despite being born on the same day as the other children, Kai seems to be completely ordinary. Wu always assumed it was because he had a twin sister, but it seems there is more to it than it seems...
Nya (Number Four)
Nya is Kai’s biological sister, and her power is manipulating events. By saying the phrase “I heard a rumour (+Something)”, said thing comes true. Despite her kind heart, she’s found herself regretting using it more than often.
Jay (Number Five)
Jay was found with an old couple in a junkyard, left by his biological parents. Finding him was tricky, but eventually Wu located him. Jay can communicate with ghosts, but has always been scared of his abilities, which is why he tends to wear vengestone bracelets to contain it.
Despite almost never taking them off, he claims that a ghost has always followed him around. His ghost companion isn’t very talkative at first, but reveals some very interesting information about their origins as they grow older...
Zane (Number Six)
When Dr. Julien found a child left in the snow, he took it in. After a terrible storm that occurred just a few days later, the child passed away, but its spirit was transferred into his robot assistant’s body, Zane.
Zane’s power is accuracy. He can throw objects and turn them in whatever angle he wishes. As he is an android, he’s always always been the same age (young adult.) He is the most distant out of the siblings, but he loves them all regardless.
Lloyd (Number Seven)
Lloyd is Wu’s greatest fear. He worries that if Garmadon ever realises his wife hadn’t miscarried, not only will he suspect Wu’s plans, but will have an outburst so bad it could wipe out the entirety of Ninjago.
To prevent Lloyd being overtaken by darkness, Wu transferred some of his power to him. Therefore, Lloyd’s powers come close to the First Spinjitzu Master’s, making him unpredictable.
That’s it for this post!!
There are a lot of things I didn’t touch up on (Zane, and how the heck he works, for example), but I didn’t wanna make this SUPER long, you know?
I hope you enjoyed, feel free to ask me more about the AU, as I would love to answer!
(Yus, I do have stuff planned for the other EMs :D)
