Also Mal-Mal buying gifts ❤️❤️❤️ and the fact he's buying them a gargoyle figurine because he loves it...like when you show someone something you really like, excited because the other person likes it too 😭😭😭 HE'S SO DAMN CUTE, HOW CAN EVERYONE BE AFRAID OF HIM?
Oh no Mal-Mal...you're starting to feel like something's not right...
His face 😭 he expected it deep in his heart, I'm sure... he's like "It was too good to be true"

Chapter 23: Viewpoints
“What do you think?” Brienne says, handing the binoculars to Jaime. “I think it looks like her.”
She watches him as he brings the binoculars up to his eyes, and peers through the windshield at the elderly woman walking down the street. “I don’t know,” he mutters, after a few seconds. “Could be her, but I can’t be sure.”
Brienne follows his gaze as he glances down briefly at the photographs on the dashboard. She’s been staring at those pictures for days; she’s practically memorised the curve of the woman’s chin, the sweep of her hair. “These photographs are decades old,” Jaime says. “How does the Centre expect us to prove they’re the same person?”
“I think it looks like her,” Brienne repeats, looking back up, and holding up her camera. She presses the shutter button, advances the film, presses it again. “We can compare the photos later. I’ll have Pod develop the film tonight.”
Everyone. It’s official. This chapter isn’t helping Mod Dabi’s heart and feels right now. I’m stabbed in the heart too many times.
I'mjustgoingtosulkforawhile. DABI, DAMMIT. I DONT KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD LOVE YOU BUT HECK, YOURE STILL LOVABLE EVEN THOUGH I LOVE HIM TOO.
Sorry for this, but I’m just going to pretend he’s still capable of doing things around here and become in denial. (yes, my heart is in pieces now. R.I.P MOD D/L. & yes, will be planning to open next week to do some event for starters.)
Also
Why Spinner. I can’t believe he actually played Grand Theft Auto, omfg. What has this fandom become. This gave me a little laugh.
I’m equipped with a selective attention span and a moderate understanding of Japanese, TIME TO LAY OUT MY THOUGHTS ABOUT CHAPTER 49
Obviously: spoiler alert, I won’t try being vague either. Screenshots included, along with some minor translations that are more paraphrasing than actual translations.
SO FROM THE TOP
YOSANO LEADS THE CAVALRY AND THEY LOOK DAMN GOOD DOING IT!! VERY HOPEFUL SHOT. THEY’RE KICKING SO MUCH ASS. Which is understandable tbh like in terms of making use of abilities? They’re is Illusion Support, Healing Support and a Tank, this is about as Dream Team as it gets. Also YOSANO so A++
(Anyone realise that Harukawa’s art in this chapter is fucking heavenly? They really did the Most this time. I love them so much it’s killing me.)
Next up THESE ARE LIKE. SOME OF THE HOTTEST PANELS I’VE EVER SEEN FROM BSD I SHIT YOU NOT I THREW MY PANTIES AT THE SCREEN. RANPO IS TURNING IT THE FUCK UP, NO ITEMS, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION. AND CHUUYA. CHUUYA, MY SWEETHEART, WARINESS IS SUCH A GOOD LOOK ON YOU. THANK YOU BASED HARUKAWA.
If anyone wants to know: Ranpo here is referring to Chuuya as ‘Beautiful Hat-kun’! I’m not sure if this has happened beforehand, but IT SURE IS NOW AND I SURE AM... CONSIDERING IT. BOY. I FORGOT RANPO IS OLDER THAN CHUUYA UNTIL HE USED ‘KUN’ LMAO I LOST IT.
The convo’s gist is:
Chuuya: I’m not gonna fight an ADA member with no ability
Ranpo: Oh? But you’ve lost to Dazai, yes?
Chuuya:
Then KATAI’S PLACE. THIS WHOLE PART. I CAN’T ACTUALLY BEAR TO POST THE WHOLE THING SO HERE’S THE GIST OF ME:
1) KUNIKIDA FUCKING BAREKNUCKLE PUNCHED A HOLE THRU A CEMENT WALL BOI WHAT THE F U C K
2) Atsushis face extended my lifespan (the rest of the manga tho brought it back down to 0)
3) Fun fact this panel was the first spoiler I saw before reading the chapter. I thought to myself, ‘ah, Kunikida went with Atsushi! Splendid! That means we’ll get to see KNKD talk to his husband Katai!’
4) I’m so sorry. I jinxed it. I cursed it. I’ve failed all of you. THATS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO JUST WATCHED HIS FRIEND OF 10 YEARS GET SHOT BY A FUCKING DEMON. STONE COLD. IM DEAD INSIDE BITCH. DEAD!!!!!
5) I CANT EVEN BEAR TO LOOK AT IT ALL I WANT IS FOR KATAI TO COME B A C K PLEASE KUNIKIDA’S BEEN THRU E N O U G H JUST... LET HIM HAVE A BREAK N HUG HIS FUTON HUSBAND WTF
THEN NEXT UP IS FUCKING AKUTAGAWA AND KYOUKA LIKE FUCK
LIKE BITCH WHAT THE FUCK!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! HE SAYS ‘IT’S BEEN A WHILE’ WHICH IMPLIES?? SO MUCH??????? I LOST IT IMMEDIATELY?? APRICOTS: DROPPED.
AND THEN THE LEGENDARY PANEL
HE SAYS ‘FINALLY (AFTER A WHILE), AN OPPONENT WITH BACKBONE’ (I THINK?? HE USES A JAPANESE EXPRESSION THAT IMNOT FAMILIAR WITH) LIKE BRUH
Personally this part wasn’t all that interesting to me until the later half of it but I’LL GET TO THAT
Skipping over the RanChuu part bc idk what to say fam, they’re trapped in a murder mystery now and Ranpo literally said “Let’s try not to die together” im Tired That They’re Targeting Me Like This
Tbqh i feel that if my senpai grabbed my fucking knife and snapped it in hald with his bare hands i’d be fucking terrified but KYOUKA... SHE’S BEING BRAVE AND ALL. LOOK AT HER EYES. THEY’RE A FOCAL POINT THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW PAGES
I’M TOO LAZY TO ACTUALLY PUT PAGE BY PAGE HERE SO HAVE THE DIALOGUE INSTEAD
Aktgw: Isn’t it odd, Kyouka. Your eyes. They are very different from when I first met you.
=FLASHBACK, 6 MONTHS AGO TF=
Kyouka: Are you the one with the Ability that can cut through anything?
Aktgw: If so? What of it?
Kyouka: Snow Demon killed my parents. I want revenge. So please kill me, the owner of this demon.
=FLASHBACK END=
Aktgw: From your eyes, it was obvious. You hated life. From the time you jumped off the train, until the ship, and the whale, you did not see meaning in living.
Kyouka: What would you know about that?
Aktgw: I do know. Because there was (I knew?) a child with those same eyes, void of life’s purpose.
Kyouka: What happened to that boy?
Aktgw: The same thing that happened to you. Through meeting certain people, and through meeting certain groups, they were able to lose those eyes.
AKUTAGAWA’S FLASHBACK ATSUSHI (!!!!): I SAW WORTH IN KYOUKA, EVEN THOUGH I’M WORTHLESS MYSELF...!!
(MY FAV PART, WAIT FOR IT)
Aktgw: ...Kyouka.
Aktgw: よかった な (Yokatta na) (YOKATTA NA) (ITS HARD TO TRANSLATE BUT THE SENTIMENT IS ‘IT’S GREAT’ (THAT YOU FOUND THE ADA’))
AND HE SAYS THIS WITH ENOUGH SINCERETY THAT KYOUKA LITERALLY OLLIES RIGHT THE FUCK OUT!! SHE LOOKS SO WORRIED TOO LIKE FML... I’M WORRIED TOO BITCH AKUTAGAWA LITERALLY SHOWED A FUCKING EMOTION!!! AND ATSUSHI IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT OUT THAT EMOTION IN HIM!!! WHAT!! THE!! FUCK!!!!
MY SHIN SOUKOKU HEART BITCH I CRIED. SO MUCH. FUCK. AKUTAGAWA SHOWING KYOUKA AN EMOTION FUCKING RUINED ME!!!
Ah the rest of it is lemon man rambling and the cavalry RETREATING I didn’t bother translating it bc im not interested in him, basically FUCK!! THIS CHAPTER WAS WILD AF
