Was musing on the "Aware of Abuse" AU for the Sad Rich Kids Trio and ho it influences their behavior, or how their perspective has shifted, from least to most detailed:

Adrien: He is not overtly super different, in canon he was already expressing frustration with his father and ducking out from under his control to do what he wanted.

The main shift is rooted in his perspective. Namely that if his father does love him (Doubt) then his love is so toxic Adrien wants no part of it. He deems any concession Gabriel makes suspicious at best and deems any lingering affection on his own part as a childish thing he needs to outgrow.

Beyond that he's simply more blunt, he doesn't make excuses for his father and is a bit more aware of how the other kids parenting sucks. This ironically may actually make it harder for he & Marinette as she'd struggle to see what was wrong early on and presume him kind of a brat or rude for disrespecting his father so much.

Kagami: As one might expect given how heavily controlling and authoritive Tomoe is, Kagami has very little wiggle room to openly defy her or act differently without risking being trapped or extremely harsh punishment,

As a result the shift is more in subtle things and how she communicates and views the relationship. Namely, she does not love her mother and only pays lip service to respecting anything other than her material skills as a combatant. She also feels that given what her mother does to her is largely indistinguishable from hatred (The physical nature of sparring sessions & training are deeply unpleasant) that Tomoe's feelings don't matter.

Thus she's more overt around others in her disregard for her mother and already prone to trying to sneak off or undercut her. She has burner phones and secret social media accounts for example. In this regard she likely does not become Riposte.

Instead her emotions would be mostly fear of her mothers reaction & anger at the situation and what this costs her in general. Thus she likely turns into something intent on seeking her mother out and attacking her, or otherwise trying to force her mother into her shoes. I had a name for this I think, Aku-Gami? Anyway its basically a signal flare to Adrien & Chloe of "One of us! One of us! One of us!"

Chloe: Like with Adrien her shift would be fairly recent. Mostly in response to the clusterfuck handling of Adrien after Emilie's disappearance & her parents being their worst selves about it. She was on her last thread from keeping Adrien's head above water then being booted and so she explodes at her mother over the phone & rejects her father out of anything but necessity. After which she doubles down because she can't un-dig this hole but she can sure as fuck make it big enough to engulf them all.

Put simply, Chloe's ingrained "Fight" mentality has now been turned on her parents in full. She'd still struggle to articulate most of the things they did wrong, or why they were wrong. But she is angry, rebellious and good at lashing out so she does that and only concedes when she has no other choice or legitimately terrified.

Despite this her changes are less overt, her fight mentality is a survival mechanism like Adrien's people pleasing so she can't just turn it off. She's still been actively taught a lot of terrible things like its moral to cheat to win, & un-learning that is hard, especially if doing so makes you feel weak. & She's been mimicking Audrey since forever, that doesn't just go away over night.

At the same time though she has more freedom than the others & any overt issues she can identify she can try to address for good & ill. Her dad thinks she shouldn't hang around with people "beneath her station" Well screw that she's throwing a party in the ballroom for the class/school before the new school year starts & Adrien can come too.

This likely means she doesn't rip up Rose's letter cos that was like, peak Audrey. She might be tempted to do the social media thing with Kim cos that is something someone might do, but she'd also be more able to apologize for it. She may indeed still lock Juleka in the bathroom, unless they are like, actively friendly at this point.

A lot depends on how well her shifts in behavior are taken by the class as she's not gonna suddenly be super self aware or easy to get along with in many regards. Though given S1 still had Kim get a crush on her & Rose trust her with a letter, I tend to feel it makes more sense that not everyone had a bad impression of Chloe going into the year. So it'd vary.

Regardless, Chloe would be both the most extreme in shift, while keeping a lot of thorns. But she'd be more open to changing in general if able to contextualize a negative reaction as tied to something her parents would do, letting her aggressively reject it. If she feels 'she' was in the right though, she'd not shift her behavior at all but dig in deeper.

Fucking hell I do go on don't I?

Oh I love all of this though!!

Break Him Down (Bungo Stray Dogs)

First Shin Soukoku fic whoop whoop! Heyo everyone! I've been loving BSD as of late, and these two- THESE TWO. They have stolen my heart and soul and I felt a mighty need to write them! I hope you like it!

Summary: Atsushi discovers an interesting fact about his stubborn boyfriend. He doesn't exploit it though- not yet at least.

Akutagawa was- for lack of a better term, a pain in the ass.

Stoic, aloof, no mincing of his words whenever he felt the need to share an unsolicited opinion about Atsushi’s way of doing things- you’d think the weretiger would absolutely despise the other with his entire heart.

And for a brief moment when they first met- he did.

Of course, all things change overtime.

“Let me check.”

“I don’t need your help!”

Okay- maybe not all things. Atsushi pinched the bridge of his nose at his boyfriend’s stubborn refusal. They were paired off on a task Dazai “personally selected them for”- in other words was too lazy to do himself- which ended on a rough note. One unexpected enemy later and Akutagawa had been injured.

Atsushi had gotten them away, knocking out their opponent with a solid chop to the skull, but the damage to Akutagawa- both to his body and his pride- was still there.

“Would you please let me take care of it? It’s a long walk back home- it’ll feel better if you let me clean it up first.” Atsushi reasoned with him, taking a step forward. “Plus if that wound gets infected, we’re gonna be in a lot more trouble then we are now.”

“I’ll be fine- this is nothing.” Akutagawa straightened, only to wince and shrink inward once more, gritting his teeth. “I-I’ll be fine until the-eehn!” Turning only hurt more as he sucked in a breath, hands shaking from the stinging pain.

Atsushi waited, crossing his arms over his chest. Just one more moment and…

“Fine.” Akutagawa turned back to him, grunting from the effort. “Please…take care of it, weretiger?”

“Thank you.” Atsushi smiled as he reached for the first aid kit. “Come here, Aku.”

~~~

“Good news, it’s not so bad.” Atsushi told him, sitting before Akutagawa’s bare back. Across his pale skin a purplish bruise bloomed- spreading like a blob of watercolor on a page. The actual wound was barely a scrape- a thin line of red cutting across the bruise. Considering how hard Akutagawa hit the wall, Atsushi was sure there’d be more damage. “Bad news is- this bruise is a ugly one.”

“Like I said, it’s nothing.” Akutagawa tsked softly, even when he winced from the gentle pressure applied.

“Acting tough even when it hurts.” Atsushi mused, flinching with him as he pressed the bandage over the scrape. They’d have to wait until they got back to ice it- at least now it’s clean. “There.”

“Mm.” Akutagawa reached for his overcoat. “Thank you-”

“Hang on.” Atsushi stopped him, hands moving to his sides. “I gotta make sure nothing’s broken.”

“I assure you, nothing is- ack! Watch your hands, they’re cold!”

“So sensitive.” Atsushi teased, earning a glare. Ignoring it, he went about, gently feeling the other’s ribs one by one. So far, so good. He moved upward to his shoulders-

“Eh!” Akutagawa flinced. Atsushi panicked.

“Sorry! Sorry- did that hurt?” Was it broken?

“It’s not- it’s fine.” Akutagawa cut in. “Don’t worry about it.”

“You keep telling me that, but you’re clearly not.” Atsushi growled, his frustration starting to touch his voice. “Tell me the truth- if you’re in pain there, I need to know!”

“I…” Akutagawa began before growing quiet in thought. When he looked away again, his voice sounded strained. “It didn’t hurt, it just felt…strange.”

“Strange?” Atsushi asked, confused. He got no reply, but Atsushi could see the beginnings of a blush creeping up the brunette’s neck the longer the silence drained on. Interesting. “Oh, you mean-”

“Don’t.” Akutagawa growled. “Don’t you dare say it.”

Atsushi squeezed his lips shut, trying not to smile. Ah, how could he forget about that? “There’s nothing wrong with being a little ti-”

“Weretiger.” Akutagawa's glare intensified, Rashomon starting to poke through his back. “I’m warning you.”

Atsushi held up his hands, reaching out and gathering up his clothes. “Okay, okay. Come on- let’s get you dressed.”

He’d have to remember this little tidbit of information for later.

~~~

~A few weeks later~

~~~

“I’m home!” Atsushi announced as he kicked off his shoes, entering his apartment. “I swear, Dazai finds the most creative ways to get out of doing paperwork- you know what he told me today?”

No response came. When Atsushi walked into the main sitting room, he found his boyfriend lying face down on the couch, headphones in and eyes closed. The sight made him pause with a smile. So he did like his little gift.

“Akuuuuuuu~” He whispered, creeping over before gently lying across the other man’s back. If Akutagawa noticed, he didn’t show it, still lost in the song. Atsushi could make out a few lyrics beyond the heavy metal music. “Pay attention to meeee~ I’m home!”

Nothing. Either he was too quiet or Akutagawa was intentionally ignoring him. “Aku!” He reached out, lightly pulling on a strand of hair.

One gray eye cracked open, meeting his gaze. A ghost of a smile touched his lips before he closed it again, getting comfy.

Oh. So he was ignoring him.

This motherfu-

“Oh, okay. So that’s how you wanna be, huh?” Atsushi felt his eye twitch as he glared down at the other. “Fine then.” He reached out, placing his hands on his boyfriend’s ribs. “Wanna ignore me? Ignore this!” He dug in and-

Nothing. Akutagawa barely reacted.

“No fair! You can’t go gargoyle on me like that!” The weretiger squawked in shock, starting to pout. Damn this stubborn ass and his ability to turn off his ticklishness! Below him, Akutagawa seemed smug; further fueling the gray haired man’s frustration.

And determination.

Sitting back, he tapped his hands against his boyfriend’s shoulders in thought. Where should he try to get a reaction? He supposed he could shove his hands into the freezer and press them into Aku’s ears? That certainly worked in the past. Or maybe-

Below him, Akutagawa tensed suddenly. His mouth seemed to thin, and his brows furrowed. Looking down, Atsushi realized his hand was on the same spot his boyfriend got hurt all those weeks ago.

“Oh, sorry-” Wait. The wound was gone. As was the bruise. All that was left was…

Atsushi started to smile. Keeping his attention on the other, he reached up and gently clawed at the spot between Akutagawa’s shoulder blades.

“Eh! W-Weretiger!” The brunette all but yanked his headphones down, glaring at the other sharply.

“Hehe, can’t ignore me now, can ya?” Atsushi teased, lightly clawing at him again. Once again, the brunette yelped and jolted, straining against the touch. “Looks like I found another tickle spot~”

“I told you not to say tha-Aht!” Akutagawa sucked in a breath sharply at another gentle touch, arching some away from the hand. “Would you cut that ou-!” The second scratch shut him up, this one closer to the curve of his shoulder blade.

“What’s wrong? Does it tickle?” Atsushi asked, continuing to gently claw at his boyfriend’s back with slow, gentle traces. “Does it tickle when I trace here? What about this?” He pinched gently against the bony part of his back- the action making Akutagawa’s eyes widen momentarily before shoving his face into the couch. A blush started creeping up his neck, pink staining the pale skin. His body shook with each touch, all the way down to where his white knuckled-hands gripped the couch cushion. “My my- can’t handle it?”

“W-Weretiger!” Akutagawa hissed, twitching beneath the other. He reached back to swat at the hand tracing his back, but he could barely reach. Instead he went to grab Atsushi’s knee.

“Hehehy! Ah ah ah!” Atsushi squirmed his leg out of reach, wiggling a finger into Akutagawa’s armpit. “Don’t you dare! I’m tickling you!”

“Dohohon’t say thahahhat! Ahehahahha! Wheheheheretiger!” The dam broke- Akutagawa shoved his arm down in a vain attempt to block him out. Giggles bubbled over his wobbly lips, partially muffled by the couch cushion. “Gehehehhet ohohoohout!”

“Get out? But it’s my apartment!” Atsushi dropped his hands to Akutagawa's upper ribs, massaging the spot with enough pressure to get him laughing properly. “First you ignore me, and now you’re trying to kick me out of my own home? What are you trying to say, Aku? Don’t you love me?”

“Yohohohoohu knhoohohohow whahahhahat I meahahhahhan’t! Ahehahahhaa, Wehehehheretihihiihihiger stohoohohohhp ihihihihiihit!” Akutagawa was properly squirming now, twisting this way and that as Atsushi’s fingers danced along his skin. Breathy huffs of laughter slowly began to grow into proper guffaws as he tried grabbing his boyfriend’s hands, just barely missing his wrists every time. “I hahahahhhahte ihiihihiiihiht!”

“Sure you do.” The weretiger giggled, reaching completely around him so he could claw at the other’s belly. “That’s why you haven’t tried pushing me away or using Rashomon to stop me! If anything, I think you like this!” Atsushi buried his nose between his shoulder blades, grinning when he felt the other arch with a faint squeak. “Admit it, you love when I tickle you, Aku~”

“Wehehehehhehheheheretiihiiihihihihihiger, shuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhsh!” Akutagawa all but whined, feet kicking against the couch. His face felt like it was on fire, burning more everytime Atsushi said that dreadful word. “Dooohohohohohn’t sahahahhahay ihiiihihihihihit!”

“Hm, you know? I don’t think you’ve said my name in a while.” Atsushi mused as he brought his hands back to the other’s ribs, wiggling between them like one plays a piano. “It’s always ‘Weretiger’. I want you to say my name! Say Atsushi! If you do, I’ll stop tickling you.”

A way out! An easy one too. Anyone would take it.

But alas- Akutagawa had his pride.

“Nohohohohohoo wahhahahahhahay! Yohohoohoohu stohoohohohhop fihiihihiihrst!” He cackled, finally grasping his boyfriend’s wrists. “Thehhehehehheere!”

“That stubborn pride. I love it, but at the same time, it really drives me crazy.” Atsushi almost sounded sad, shaking his head loosely. “Whatever- at least I know how to drive you crazy too.” With that, he shoved his face into the other’s back, nuzzling him through the thin cloth.

“WHEHEHHRETIIHIHIIHGER!” Akutagawa all but shrieked, his squirms increasing and his laughter booming. “DOHOHOOHOHN’T! NOHOHOHOHOOHT THEHEHHEHEHERE!” His lungs were starting to hurt, and his vision was getting misty. Still- Atsushi was determined to make him break. He could resist! He was a Port Mafia member! This? A little ti-a little sensitivity? This was nothing! He’d been through far, far worse tortures in his life. He would be fine-

“Not gonna break? Okay!” Atsushi seemed to lift off. Then-

Oh dear god no-

“PFFFFFFT!” He released by far what felt like the biggest raspberry against his shoulder blades. Even with the fabric layer of protection, it tickled like crazy! Akutagawa’s laughter tittered into silence as more and more raspberries came down on his worst spot.

Finally, finally- he gave in.

“AHAHAHHAHAHTSUSHIHIHIHI PLEHAHAHAHAHSE!” He cried when he got his voice back, Rashomon shooting out to gather the other and lift him off. Atsushi squeaked in surprise, suspended mid air by the various red tentacles.

“Hehe, got you to say my name.” Atsushi laughed nervously, watching the other cough some as he turned onto his back, glaring daggers. Slowly, he was lowered back down, returning to his previous position on top of Akutagawa. “Hehe, you good?”

“Yohohou…suck.” Akutagawa huffed, earning a snort from boyfriend. Too tired to fight anymore, he reached up and flicked the other’s nose, smirking when Atsushi whined in response. “You're lucky I don’t get you back right here and now.”

“Oo, scary~” Atsushi mock shivered, laying down properly and tucking his head against the other’s chest. “Good luck on that. I know all your weaknesses now.”

“Tch, brat.” Akutagawa rolled his eyes, reaching up and running a hand through his hair. “Welcome home by the way.”

“Oh? Oh, thank you!” Atsushi sounded pleased. Sitting up, he scooted closer, pressing a gentle kiss to the other’s red cheek.

“Oi, you missed.” Akutagawa narrowed his eyes, fighting down a laugh when Atsushi looked away.

“Nope! You ignored me when I got home, so no proper kisses for you…” His voice trailed off when Akutagawa took his chin in his hands, guiding him back gently.

“Forgive me. I was enjoying that song you showed me.” He ran his thumb along Atsushi’s lip, feeling smug at the blossoming blush on his cheeks. “The Bad Things one.”

“Knew you’d like it.” Atsushi grinned. “Fine, I suppose you can have a real kiss then.” He leaned in, capturing his boyfriend’s lips on his own. Warmth spread throughout Akutagawa’s body, making his toes curl and sending pleasant tingles throughout his nerves. When they pulled away, they were equally flushed, slightly breathless.

“Ehehe! We’re such dorks.” Atsushi laughed, returning to his comfy position beneath Akutagawa’s chin. “I love us though.”

“As do I.” Akutagawa ran a hand over his back gently, his heart still racing a mile a minute. He was sure Atsushi’s heart was doing the same thing. “Tell me about your day.”

They spent the rest of the evening chatting about their respective days.

Thanks for reading!

These eight pictures contain all of the dialogues from both RIliane Lucifen d’Autriche and Allen Avadonia from the Aku no Taizai event in Project Sekai. These conversations are not in any particular order. As opposed to other characters, where each character would have three conversations musing to themselves, Allen and Riliane each get one individual conversation, and then there are two conversations that take place with both of them.

My apologies for the terrible floor edits to make the dialogue boxes expand.

In Project Sekai, whenever a character has dialogue, a “chibi” sprite of them will be on screen with a little dialogue pop-up box over their heads indicating the subject they want to think or talk about at that time. Each piece of preview dialogue in on the left, with its full corresponding text on the right.

Although some lines have a speaker icon next to them indicating an audio clip, the line itself is was not actually voiced for the characters in the Aku no Taizai Fragment. This applies to all Aku no Taizai characters. The sounds would be things such as, “Mmm…”, “Ah”, “Haa”, or giggling in their respective Vocaloid’s voice.

Allen’s conversation is his musing on how his responsibilities have grown thanks to Riliane’s tyranny. Riliane’s conversation is Riliane showing off her level of pride. Of the conversations between the two, the first is about Allen serving RIliane during teatime. The second conversation deals with Riliane’s tyranny, as well as what she desires.

As an aside, each character has a set portrait for their dialogues, regardless of what they’re wearing or how they’re feeling. Hence, the default Rin portrait is always used for Riliane, and the default Len portrait is always used for Allen.

NAME : Kohitsuji PRONOUNS :She/Her PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : Honestly, if we're mutuals I generally prefer discord because it's something I will be notified on regardless of whether I'm on my computer or not or even which account I'm on. But I also don't mind using tumblr ims or whatever is best for my partners. NAME OF MUSE(S) : Sanae Hanekoma (@strawberry-barista), Wataru Koketsu, Megumi Kitaniji, Ryoji, MKN/Mikan, Yodai Higashizawa (@networkscrambled), Haruto Abe (@falseapostle), Aku (@mystical-strawberry-sheep), Souan Awaki, Kaoru Rindo (@enchantedbrew), Mr. Saguaro (@sweetlesson), Director Cyrano (@blueskilled), Byron Rosfield (@phoenixcoin) EXPERIENCE / HOW LONG ( MONTHS / YEARS? ) : Lord, I don't even remember. For a really long time, since I was in grade school. There's at least over 10 years in there somewhere. BEST EXPERIENCE : Oh man. I don't think I could really make a decision like that. I have so many fond memories here already. I've loved every moment I've spent writing with Dusty and Morty and Willow and J and Alex and Egg and Katee and Roxy and Seb and Kellin and Ruby and and... I love everyone. I have had so much fun and I love everyone. RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : The more I experience callouts and cancellations and things like that, the less okay with it I am. I think I will never make it a rule for my partners to not participate in that stuff because I know everyone is going to have a line where they feel like it's necessary, but I'm legitimately never going to participate or even listen to it myself. I used to sit on this line of "if someone is legitimately dangerous, I should not interact with them", but oftentimes the information I get to inform me that someone is dangerous just does not seem very well put together and reads a lot like yellow journalism in which things are cut and edited in such a way that the full context is totally missing. It feels misleading and purposefully made to start drama, and I really don't feel good about it. I don't think I can even stand by that previous standard I used to have anymore. I just straight up don't believe them, and if someone is legitimately dangerous, I guess I'll have to learn that for myself.

Especially when someone used to be problematic and are trying to apologize and make up for it and grow as a person. I don't feel like it's fair to force people out of a community because of past grievances that they are actively trying to grow past and not repeat. I understand past victims have no obligation to try to reach out again, but I still don't feel like that's reason enough to make sure no one ever gives them another chance.

I think this is the first and only post in which I'm going to go this in-depth about this, because I feel like someone is going to start calling me out just for having this stance. 😂 MUSE PREFERENCES FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT : Smut is almost never gonna happen with me. I will use it strictly to explore the potential of emotional exploration through the medium of physical touch and it's gonna be a whole thing if it does happen. Fluff and angst are loved tremendously and equally, however, I try not to write angst on this blog anymore because there was a time in which I was upsetting a lot of people with those kinds of posts. PLOTS OR MEMES : I am so terrible at plotting I run my blog almost entirely on memes. However, for folks that prefer plotting I will absolutely do my best. I just have a really hard time imagining specifics for my characters and have come to understand that I likely don't even really know how to plot properly? Because I thought it was sitting down to form a reason for characters to interact and like, a story arc and how we were going to get there and all that. But I've recently discovered it's mostly just independently talking about your muses to each other and their personal experiences...? I don't really know how to do it. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : The only thing that really matters to me is that there is something to respond to. Multiple replies in a row that are all just one line, however, makes me really uncomfortable. It feels like I'm not worth the time to respond to. I can have really short maybe 2 paragraph responses myself most of the time, but I can enough anything as short as just one paragraph to multiple paragraphs, as long as I have somewhere to go after that. BEST TIME TO WRITE : Generally I have the most time to do so from 6:30 am-ish to like 2:50 pm-ish. I might write after this on mobile, but usually after that time folks are home and I have things I have to do with them. And even then, my writing times can vary wildly and I will come on and off sporadically. I do the housework in my family unit so I have both all the time in the world and no time whatsoever at the same time. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : The only muse I'm even remotely like is Aku, who is a self-insert character. I try to play all of my muses the way I think they would in their canon universes and try really hard not to break the canon already established for them. If you can see me in any muse besides Aku, I'm doing my job poorly and I need to be informed.

hard to? remember?? exactly?? at first Nathaniel was a wildly different muse. I think I was mad about Alois Black Butler Season 2 and my way of showing love to neglected characters was to steal their face for something. I combined him with other things I was into at the time and got to writing, and he. GREW. oh boy did he grow alois's face barely even works for him anymore. that's life. fun fact, he was a much more pompous brat at first. Like he's still a pompous brat but he had attitude. these days he keeps the attitude inside and tries to be more polite. sometimes

RULES.

Hello everyone, I'm Space and welcome to my semi-selective multimuse blog! My rules are listed below, make sure to read them before interacting/following! UPDATED: 2/21/2024 and WILL change with time.

GENERAL:

Age: I am a legal adult (22) and I RP with people who are 18 and older due to darker themes explored directly or indirectly on this blog, no exceptions.

"Personal" Blogs: AKA non-RP blogs on Tumblr. I have decided that I will block you regardless on if you like and/or interact with my posts. This is because I am a RP blog, which is different than a fiction/fan-blog, etc. Nothing against you or what you post, it's just for my own sanity. The only exception I'll make is if you are a RP hub blog and/or have RP sideblogs.

General: This blog is semi-selective, which means I am more open to mutuals and people I know. We don't have to be mutuals to write together, though. I have the right to not accept every RP. I may take a while to follow you back. Reblog memes/gif sets/etc. from the source instead of me please; I don't practice "reblog karma". Will block bots, minors, and non-RP blogs.

OOC Communication: I consider it important when it comes to discussing RP ideas and continuing/dropping threads. You don't have to be friends/etc. with me if you don't want to but I'm relatively chill to talk to! Discord is available to mutuals upon request!

Rules Passwords: I used to have a rules password but realized that a lot of people are anxious about sending them in and/or don't have them, so I will not have one. However, I will send rules passwords if you require them. I expect you to read/follow my rules if you plan to interact with me.

Turning Asks Into Threads: I am usually okay with asks turning into threads, no matter how long or short. However, I would like it if you asked me either in IMs or an ask to continue into a thread, especially if we have more than 3 threads.

Reply Speed: My reply speed is slow (usually a few weeks/a month) and varies depending on the muse/character you wish to write with. I have most of my posts set within the queue system. Please note that I may not write a muse you want/desire at any given point in time. If it's been 3+ months since I've replied, please pop into my IMs/Discord and remind me if you want! I'll also DM you to ask if you want to continue a thread or not.

Interest Tracker/Checker: [TBA].

Drama/Callouts: I do not tolerate OOC bigotry/drama on this blog and will hard-block people if those situations come up. I’m also anti-callout unless there’s legitimate evidence but even then, I make my own decisions/judgements. I don’t need/want people to ‘warn’ me about others in my inbox; this isn’t middle school anymore.

DNI: Speaking of drama, this is a new section I'm adding for my own safety and comfort. Do not interact with me if you go by these aliases: Aku/Grim*, Loke/Wards, Legend, Arke/Mocha, Hearty, Kier, Rosario/Whitley, Slurk, Shiloh/Spork, Boogey, Marrow, Stols, Mars, Skeptic, Pucca [tba if neccessary]. I have chosen to block these people out of my own choice, even if I did/didn't know them in the past or have RPed with them. I don't have ill-will against the people I've listed; I decided this because some have call-outs (most with legitimate evidence) and are considered problematic. That and I just don't feel comfortable interacting w/these people; it's that simple. Do not come at me to defend them or send hate to me about them; I choose whom I interact with. I will not be upset at you if you interact with or associate with these people (again, can't control whom others write with), but I want to avoid them as much as I can, thank you.

Unfollowing/Blocking: I usually softblock people for a myriad of reasons, but you're more than welcome to follow back if I've softblocked you and you want to write again/etc.. I don't mind if you ask me why I've softblocked you/etc. but I expect you to respect my decisions & be civil about it. If you want to cut ties with me entirely, hard-block me instead so I don't accidentally pester you and think that a Tumblr glitch happened or something. I hard block if you're problematic (and there's evidence/personal interactions) or if you've personally been rude/harassing to me.

ROLEPLAYING/INTERACTIONS:

Muse ≠ Mun: I am not my characters; the majority of my muses are antagonists/villains with bad morals. I do not support/condone the actions of my muses in any manner IRL. I will not “water down” my muses for you.

Triggers: There will be potentially triggering topics (directly or indirectly) on my blog. I will tag things accordingly with "trigger tw/trigger mention tw". I also have fandom-based tags that you may block. The list is HERE. Things I won't RP: bestiality/zoophilia, pedophilia, abortion/miscarriages, [TBA].

Writing: I am a RPer who writes 1-3 paragraphs in third person but can go longer if motivation calls for it. You do not have to match my length, but do not give me one-liners/just dialog when I give you a paragraph; that’s simply not fair. I will likely drop a thread if that happens unless it’s short from the start.

Interactions: This blog is crossover friendly, AU friendly, and OC friendly! I don't RP in Tumblr IMs nor RP w/personal blogs. My ask box is always open too, so feel free to send things in!

Dropping Threads: If you at any time want to drop a thread, feel free to but IM/message me first so I can remove it from RPThreadTracker and plan new interactions. I will likely do the same.

Plotting/Winging It: When it comes to RPs, I usually like to have light plotting/a general sense on where a thread will go; I don’t really “wing” things too often unless they're short interactions.

Relationships (general): Do not assume our muses have a relationship (unless they've interacted in canon). If you want pre-established relationships, please talk to me about it first.

Romantic Relationships: I am multiship, but am going to be more selective with it. I prefer to have chemistry/slow-burn threads between our muses after a couple of threads rather than insta-shipping. Some muses may not be applicable for romantic shipping, either. Do NOT use my muses for shipping material/no forced shipping. I do not ship incest or adult/minor ships.

Smut/NSFW: I have a sideblog that is very selective and low-activity. I expect our muses to have interacted at least once before writing NSFW content. I don't write smut with underaged characters or muns. If I find out you lied about your age to write smut with me, I'll hardblock on both blogs.

If you have read the rules & acknowledge them, please like this post here so I know!

One of the things that has been eating away at my brain is the idea of Buraiha SSK + Kyouka. And I just don't mean them as a second generation Buraiha (that too, but that's another post/tag ramble) but as a sort of...role-reserve/AU of that.

Part of it was inspired by this role-reverse AU that I re-discovered recently (and messed me up once again because guys. It's SO compelling to think about). But part of me has always liked to think about Kyouka, Atsushi, and Akutagawa as a trio rather than a duo.

Spoilers for the linked fanfic, but.

At first, I thought Oda!Kyouka and Dazai!Atsushi with Akutagawa being a sort of Ango who stays in the PM, as it went in the fanfic. And it IS compelling, especially when you see Beast and how well Atsushi fits into the PM. How Kyouka was a former assassin just like Odasaku but got roped into the PM because they didn't believe they could be better. A Kyouka who doesn't kill people, too, also...(I could honestly see her canon arc going like that)

But then my thoughts went to...okay, but what if. Atsushi as Odasaku (aka, dying) with Kyouka and Akutagawa as their own sort of...individual characters that roughly follow the same arc but not really. Because in canon, it's Atsushi that has both the strong bond with either, or its his strong bond with them both that's emphasized. Kyouka and Akutagawa do have a meaningful relationship but I do feel it gets sidelined (sort of like sometimes I wonder how Oda and Ango were canonically like, Dazai-less, though they give me a bit of a Dazai and Ango vibe as well given the whole former superior thing).

So what this is all to say is an Atsushi who adopts a bunch of children and doesn't kill after a meaningful encounter with literature but breaks that oath after the lives he valued are run over, a Kyouka who is lifeless after joining the PM and gets pulled into the light because of her dying friend's request, and an Akutagawa who was a spy for the government after it offered him and his sister protection but didn't want any of this to really happen (from mafia dog to government dog).

#look #if akutagawa can be an ada member in beast #then he can be a heartbroken government spy missing his friends in this au #i could also see kyouka and aku switch places #also youd think i would have (spoilers for the manga and s5) aku dying given that hes....actually dead in canon #and now i regret not having that as my premise because a government spy kyouka following after her parents' footsteps??#and an atsushi grieving his friends death?#and akutagawa canonically already was about to go on a suicide kill mission for dead friends #then dazai got him instead of death #anyway you see? theres a lot of potential for this!#i am insane i know. but uh...wheres that post about my takes not being wrong but actually great deductions?#cause yeah....lets say that?#sometimes i wish i was a good writer so i could actually WRITE for these guys #but this is what i have #bsd #bsd musings #note's nonsense #bsd kyouka #bsd atsushi #bsd akutagawa #shin soukoku #buraiha #alternate universe

so how will the freakin prison break arc end? (theory masterpost)

I’ve been having too many thoughts about this arc and how it’s going to end, after all it involves my top 3 favorite characters along with dazai, so I needed to get my thoughts out. Here is my brain-dump of theories and analysis:

Part 1: Dazai and Fyodor

Dazai won’t die in this arc -my first thought. Asagiri hasn’t killed off many characters, (Oda and Aku are the only ones the come to mind) and the ones that he has killed left a huge impact on someone important to them. If I were to take a guess as to whom Dazai would die around (if he does) it would be with the agency or Atsushi alone (for fairly obvious reasons) none of whom he is currently around. This brings me to my next point: if Dazai dies here the agency looses. In chapter 95 Ranpo muses that the battle above ground will be determined by whoever defeats the other. The conclusion to this is that Dazai will not die, on top of that, the agency is already in a very tough spot so if Dazai dies they’re practically done for. Of course these are only a few reasons as to why I don’t think he will die and i’m sure there are far more.

But Fyodor won’t die either- for one we don’t know anything about him really. His true goal, his backstory (not that a character needs one to be compelling, he’s already my second fave lol) not even his ability. But let’s focus on the first item on that list, his true plan, his goals. I don’t believe that Fyodor agrees with Fukuchi’s plan and stuff, I don’t think it’s his goal. For one Fukuchi is all about the magic mind control cube and controlling the world yada yada while Fyodor’s introduction had to do with the book and getting Atsushi in order to get to the book. This VERY INTRIGUING plot line has been pretty much dropped in the wake of Fukuchi. This plot line is where I think Fyodor will shine, we clearly haven’t seen his full potential, his true plan or how far he will truly go in order to achieve HIS goals. This is why he can not and will not die in this arc. There’s also the contrasting fact that if Fyodor wins (aka lives) and Dazai dies, the agency pretty much looses (basically what I said in Dazai’s section above) and that wouldn’t really work.

Now that we’re done with our two opponents we have to talk about the main man, the enigma, my absolute favorite character of them all, the cause of this whole predicament…

Part 2 Electric Boogaloo: Nikolai Gogol

Let me just start this off by saying that yes this man is my favorite character, but god, his plan is his downfall (aka it makes no sense). Let’s say Dazai wins, good for everyone! Agency gets their Dazai back and enacts a masterful strategy to defeat Fukuchi once and for all, and Gogol got rid of his dearest friend without killing him! Yippie freedom! But we also have to take into account what he said to Sigma after he rescued him. He said he needed Sigma with him in order to figure out Fyodor’s ability, something that hasn’t really happened and wouldn’t if Dazai wins. Now in the event of Fyodor winning, uh then Nikolai’s plan literally didn’t really work? He’d have to come up with another scheme to attempt to get Fyodor in a situation that would get him killed and with enough of those, I think it would just kinda prove that he’s not free in that he would be in a constant loop of trying to kill Fyodor to prove that he doesn’t have feelings for him, which would prove he clearly does. A paradox if you will. His plan doesn’t really work for any intended outcome. But his emotions, his goals, his feelings, those are where my theories come from.

So the conclusion, neither Fyodor nor Dazai will die in this arc, and who is the only one who can make it so they don’t die? Nikolai Gogol. Because we haven’t talked about the most important part, and most intriguing part of his plan: the poison. Which brings us to…

Part 3: Let’s get into the theories

I’ve come up with three major theories, with a few smaller ones I’ll list towards the end. Now let’s get into the theories!

Theory 1: There was no poison. They injected themselves with something that does nothing to them or something harmless or whatever- just nothing lethal. This works for a number of reasons, it wouldn’t make Nikolai the direct killer of Fyodor (something he clearly cares about I’d say even more than actually KILLING him as it proves he isn’t actually free), and more than killing Fyodor it creates the opportunity for Fyodor to BE killed.

If this is true I predict that the breakout will proceed as usual, both Fyodor and Dazai outmaneuvering eachother at every turn and eventually when they reach the top they figure it out and have a stand-off and eventually go their separate ways with the promise of another matchup. Another option is that Dazai reaches the top first and leaves without knowing if Fyodor is dead or not.

Theory 2: There will be two vials of antidote at the top. This introduces a variety of situations. For Gogol it works as in he would never directly kill Fyodor as there was always an antidote waiting for him at the top (so if he dies it must be Dazai’s fault!) this doubles as it really actually proves he cares enough about Fyodor to not really let him die (the double sidedness of this is very in character for him I think).

As for the situations: whoever gets to the top first can do a bit of blackmailing, only giving the other the antidote in exchange for something, this could be a very interesting concept that could come back to haunt the other in the future.

They could also get there at the same time and either mad dash for the antidotes (ending most likely with the situation above) or they both get their own antidotes and walk away from eachother in a sort of stand-off way, with a thinly veiled threat or whatever.

Theory 3: Dazai wins, Nikolai can’t stand the fact that Fyodor lost or smth and gives him the anitdote before he can die. This one is pretty silly I’d say but it could work. Dazai gets out and administers the antidote and leaves without knowing if Fyodor is TRULY dead but he has more pressing matters to attend to. Nikolai, unable to accept that both Fyodor LOST and the fact that Fyodor will be dying pretty directly by him (by the poison that HE gave Fyodor) and in turn gives him an antidote. He could justify this to himself in a number of ways that I won’t list (if you wanna hear some ideas just ask in the comments). I’m the end he ultimately comes to the conclusion that his plan failed but maybe Sigma found out Fyodor’s ability in the chaos and he starts planning another scheme. Who knows, there’s a lot of ways this theory could go so that’s why I really like it.

Smaller theories:

a. The reverse of Theory 3, Gogol comes to Dazai and gives him the antidote as he realizes that Dazai is the only one who can truly outmaneuver and kill Fyodor in order for him to be free.

b. A spin-off of Theory 1: There was no poison but the “antidote” at the top is a lethal poison. This doesn’t really make sense because one of them would die but I just thought it would be interesting from a Gogol perspective. A sense of randomness so that whoever “wins” (hopefully Fyodor) actually looses. In his pov his faith in Fyodor’s winning would be his faith in Fyodor’s death.

2b. Same thing, there’s a vial of “antidote” that’s actually poison, but this time nobody uses it. Because they’re too smart or whatever.

c. Nikolai just straight up changes his mind about needing to kill Fyodor for his freedom and just saves him (aka silly goofy times)

Conclusion(ish):

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed my theories :)))))
