Y'know if Yosano and Dazai are the mistakes made trauma kids then out of the three characters we know Mori has personally taken to mentoring/grooming, Chuuya's probably his success story.
Think abt it
Forced into the mafia at a young age
Put to work in the black market jewel trade instead of the guerilla forces to make him a more *multifaceted* criminal
Is monitered to make sure he doesn't try to defect (even if the flags were a positive support system, mori still used them for ulterior motives)
Like the entire deal about "get to executive status and THEN i'll allow you to know about your past and family." Bribery much, mori-sensei?
He thinks there's no place for him in the light and accepts the port mafia as his family (even though he's been noticeably isolated from any outside connections?)
Literally everytime he shows up out of his own will in the main manga is either on mori's order's or with mori on mind
can i ask about the captain america bachelor's thesis and the score you got for it
hi lorelei!! you absolutely may ask me!!
it was called "Steve Rogers and Captain America aren't always the same guy": Captain America Fanfiction as a Locus of Transformation, Identity Exploration, and Reclamation (a bit wordy, i know) and it basically outlined fanfiction conceptually and went into the history of cap as a character and political symbol to then analyze trends in cap fanfiction as forum for identity politics and fan reclamation. i think we stress so many of his identity markers in fandom that are played down or straight up erased in source material (esp the mcu) and i wanted to elaborate on the possible reasons for and effects of that. it was a lot of fun.
and i got a dutch 9/10!! which translated to an american A+ on my transcript, which is a bit crazy. i was lucky to have a super lovely and supportive thesis advisor :)
Image ID: A detailed digital illustration of a bedroom for Ralsei from Deltarune in a watercolor style. A chandelier lights the scene from above in blue, including a covered 4-poster bed + chair with plenty of books next to it (right / center), a closet filled with clothes (left / center), a bookshelf with a ladder filled with books and crafting supplies (center), a stack of unpacked boxes (left), and a desk cluttered with craft supplies and drawn-on papers (front right).
The brick walls are covered with drawings and glow in the dark stars, hearts, and moons, and paper doll garlands line the perimeter. Two tapestries on the rightmost wall frame a large stained glass window. Just middle of left, Ralsei's hat hangs on the back wall. End ID.
Image ID: A page titled "Environment Intensive Packeting: Ralsei's Bedroom. There are 6 called out items from the previous illustration (shown at the top left), which include:
1. Window design, which features the Delta Rune motif / symbol. The bottom part of the window is colorful.
2. Banners (tapestries). They depict two different scenes from Ralsei's prophecies, one shows 3 heroes emerging from the world's edge, and the second depicts a Titan at the world's end.
3. Unused Manual pages, one contains a drawing of Ralsei with the text "Thank you! I'm looking forward to meeting you!" with a heart at the bottom. The second has text that says "Dedicated to the unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form."
4. Desk clutter: pink strings of yarn, dry macaronis, and a green crayon.
5. A string of paper dolls with varying shapes: a darkner, a lightner, a save point, and a heart.
6. Wall decor, including glow in the dark stars and drawings of other characters.
End ID.

anyway i know i've never properly explained what happened on thursday so... here we go??????
was super fortunate to stand where i did, i literally walked to the side from my previous spot like, minutes before he came out to the front of the hotel. so i'm just standing there on the street, contemplating going back to my place because george arrived back at the hotel, and used the side entrance. so i'm like. cool, we missed that, anyway... then a couple minutes later there's massive screaming coming from the front of hotel, and it's george of course, so i'm like, awh, what the fuck..... obviously i weaved my way into the crowd a bit, and got my little stupid sign and the book out! was super lucky to have walked to the side, as the merc cars were on the left side, and my previous spot in the middle would have been shit. so anyway, he looked into our direction for a sec, and everyone is immediately like "george!!!" and that was when he spotted the sign and pointed at me! and then that was it, and i'm like awh, come onnnnn, it's for you! (not sure he could even read the sign, idk, probably just saw his name and he was like oh? hi??!!!) so anyway, he's painting that car, my heart is quite literally trying to break my ribs or something and i'm :( and :). then, picasso finishes his masterpiece and it's free cap time. obviously he goes to the right side of the hotel first, and i'm :( again. professional cap thrower gr does his best to throw the caps out to the crowd. even jumps on the cars' platform to make a better throw. he's super jumpy, and long, and endearing. then! jumps off the platform and!!!!!!! :) does his usual jog to us to fucking HAND a cap to the idiot with the sign. i'm in the 2nd row probably, i have a good couple of people in front of me, but thanks dad for the only good genes you gave me, i was massively helped out here by my height and my long ass arms. so he tries handing the cap to me right ("here you go") and obviously everyone is trying to grab it, and i'm like nooo and he's like "NO" and fucking makes sure that it's in my hand. ends with a little "thank you", and before i can react at all, he's already moving on and giving out the next cap, and i'm like !!!!! WAIT NO, THE BOOK!!!!!!!!
but it stays in my hand, with the sign and the cap, while my phone is in my right hand, still recording, facing the side of course...
so at this point i'm like. what the fuck has just happened, what the hell is going on, i can barely think and breathe at all-
so i sit down in the park, i'm having a mini heart attack, and i inform everyone of my adventures. i don't know how long i have sat there, but i was like. dead dead. so after i've collected myself i start walking back to the hostel, and then my mom is calling me, because she refuses to text. obviously i tell her everything too, and anyway as i'm sitting on this random bench, talking, gwen walks down with like 2 other people in front of me. and i'm like mom, hold on a sec what the f-, so i jump up, i catch up to him and i try being as polite as i can while i'm having the 6213rd heart attack of the day. so i tell him that i made this book for george, but i couldn't give it to him earlier when he gave me the cap yada yada, can he please give it to him? and he's like. super nice, at the mention of george he's smiling and he's like, sure, opens the book for a sec and asks "just give it to him?" i tell him that of course, i made it for him, it's just for him, i don't need it back etc. then he says that now he's having dinner with some friends, but he's seeing george tomorrow (friday), so he'll give it to him then. i thank him, and ask him to please thank george for the cap and uhm... yeah. that was thursday in a nutshell, i guess. :]
//// i'll say that i was quite literally too stunned to use my brain, like, i think my pulse hit a record high, my hands were shaking etc but here are some things i can recall: he's tall. long. so long. hair fluffier than you could imagine. and a super calming brown. skin clear and moisturized, crops watered. eyes bigger than the universe. and he is so jumpy. every limb of his is just !!!!! moving moving moving. so expressive. both his face and his body language. and like. you know how great he looks in photos? yeah? ok, now triple that. like. jesus fucking. christ......
and anyway i died. and finally, yesterday i allowed myself a lil cry! :)
i will say im liking how the new crew is treating this plotpoint. also i. love women. thought i should mention that
the freaking. the lipstick color.
going from roses color to kanayas aarghh [holding head] <- victors reaction to the most basic and straightforward symbolism
but also gosh. jade bringing up how gods are treated... you see people cracking jokes about it but, obvious horrible behavior aside. shes right! none of them are really capable of making a real connection! theyre caged, trapped even, within this circle of people theyve known since they were 13. and thats kinda messed up!! a little bit!!! it sucks!!!!
btw say what you will but i missed ruby. her whimsy...
the artists have been absolutly kicking it out of the park btw! like aghhh! must stress again that i love women
Spacie I will be honest I knew we were mutuals for quite a while but I always thought it was more in a respective: hey there neighbor
Or a: your a mutual of a mutual so imma just hang or even just a: respectable nod between two strangers
because I didn't want to push anything
Until I saw the tags of something you reblogged from me and I literally was just like: YOU LIKE ME??? YOU SEE ME AS A FRIEND???? IMMA CRY RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW-
