be my boyfriend 👉👈
going to be streaming baccano! over here tonight!! we’re starting at episode eight ( i think that’s where we left off the other night?? ).
i decided to make a server for my beloved mutuals in the bsd rpc, so we can all plot, chat, what have you! the server link is here. obviously to be mutuals with me you have to be eighteen or older, but i’m just reiterating that here.
i commissioned some art of these two, because they kill me
hello, everyone! it’s plant, at it this time with a blog for huey laforet from baccano!. he’s your local tragic villain who deserves to be devoured by the one person in this world he still loves, as the water has taken away the others he once held dear and he’s been up to no good ever since.
okay, so!! i want to get more people into baccano! For Reasons, so i'm thinking of streaming it on bear.cat in the evening on the 27th and / or 28th?? i get off work at 1830 est both days, so it would be an hour or two after that so i have time to get set up!! posting this now so people can prepare or let me know if they're interested.
Wait.... you are gay? Why?
It started off as a 7 day free trial, but I forgot to cancel so here we are.
LONG LIVE THE KING!! ( the king is going to be dead!! )

Pain, Fear, Death, and God: Fyodor and Gogol as Two Halves of Kirillov
God is the pain of the fear of death. Whoever conquers pain and fear will himself become God.
-Alexei Kirillov, Demons
So remember how when I first read Bungou Stray Dogs I started screeching incoherently and turned those screeches into a somewhat-coherent meta on how Fyodor in BSD was modeled after Alexei Kirillov from Dostoyesvky’s Demons?
Well, here’s the follow up.
As I said in my previous meta, Demons is (tied with Crime and Punishment) my favorite novel of all time, and Alexei Kirillov is my very favorite character of all time, in any fictional medium, ever. He’s a walking bundle of paradoxes, existential angst and stunning compassion. But Demons is not necessarily a popular novel by Dostoyevsky standards and so Kirillov, despite being written about by literary critics and Camus, is somewhat obscure. That Asagiri is so clearly inspired by his character is shocking and thrilling for me; I’m pinching myself.
The tl;dr version of Kirillov is that his whole schtick is that he wants to kill himself to prove that he is free and thereby can escape. It’s far more nuanced and complex, as I’ll go into, but essentially both Gogol and Fyodor’s philosophies and goals reflect this.
Gogol does not want to kill Fyodor because he hates Fyodor; rather, it’s because Gogol and Fyodor are two halves of a whole. They are a paradox together, embodying Kirillov’s complexity. Like Kirillov, they are suicidal, because killing one of them is like killing themselves. To achieve their goals, they both need to die.
Fyodor reminds Gogol that he is human and can connect; therefore, Gogol wants to kill him to assert his free will, as he views connections as a cage. Similarly, while we haven’t gotten much insight into Fyodor’s thoughts on Gogol, I think it’s highly likely Fyodor allowed Gogol to kill himself (he thought) because he clings to his beliefs at the expense of his (very much there) empathy, and it’s better for his goals if people who provoke his empathy die. Basically: Fyodor allowed Gogol to “die” not because he doesn’t care about him, but because he does.

“Good, good.” Gogol might be troublesome sometimes, but having a nice moment like this is always preferable to another spat. In Ivan’s opinion, everyone would be much better off happy—and he’s happy that they’re happy, of course!
He leans up as Gogol leans down, placing one hand (gently) on his shoulder, the other cupping his chin to bring his face closer. Ivan doesn’t go for the lips, no (too forward) but gently presses a kiss to one cheek, and then the other, their faces close enough that his eyelashes almost brush skin.
“There you are.” With a fond smile, he releases Gogol. “Thank you for humoring me.”
this tenderness is one of the moments he’ll treasure — he knows now that they’ll be going their separate ways soon, different plans and schemes keeping them apart more than they already have been, and more than they’ve ever been used to.
his eyes close as ivan graces him with a soft kiss to each cheek, and he only opens them when he hears him speak. a little hum vibrates between gogol’s lips for a moment. “ you know i’ll always humor you, hm?? ” that grin sneaks back, mischievous as always, and he leans forward to press a quick peck to ivan’s nose.
and then he’s dancing a few steps back and away, light on his feet, before ivan can react.
and oh, how he treasures that laugh!! his own face breaks out into a pleased grin in response, the expression one of unmasked glee. ( while he may exaggerate many of his emotions for show, the positive ones he feels towards ivan are always genuinely displayed — it’s the negative ones that get ramped up for show around him. )
“ you know i can’t say ‘ no ’ to that, ” comes his coo of a response as he leans down closer to ivan. // @truebliss | continued bc soft
alright, gang!! time to break vanechka out of jail ( or die trying!! ).
“but in love, merit is won blindly and unaccountably, and in this blindness and unaccountability lies happiness.”
