helloooe i don’t know if u write for gojo (i’m new in your blog and haven’t seen gojo posts lately or maybe i haven’t scrolled far) and saw that your looking for angsty requests, can i request angst as in the different levels of gojo and reader, that gojo is so powerful and that the world constantly needs him so he can’t give reader enough attention, in a way actually hit them both in their relationship?

if not, it’s okay, i hope you’re doing fine!!

GOJO ANGST MY BELOVED-

---

"If you leave, you will come home to an empty house."

The warning falls confidently from your lips, as if premeditated and ready to be released into the air at any given trigger. Satoru stops getting his shoes on and turns to face you. Your eyes hold nothing but exhaustion, eyes under your bags dark and the lifelessness in your face sends a shiver through him. Had you looked so worn out all day?

"What... did you just say?" He whispers, brows pinching in the center in betrayal.

"You heard me. If you leave me right now, without a second thought of my regard, you will come back to nothing from me but my scent and this memory of us."

Thirty seconds ago, he smearing frosting on your nose and when you pushed him away, he’d peppered kisses over your face and fingers dug in your sides. Thirty seconds ago, you'd been interrupted in your baking by the man who would move mountains and swim oceans for you, only for his phone to ring just seconds later, calling him away like it always does.

Thirty seconds ago, he was kissing the laughter from your lips. Now, you’re threatening him.

You're cruel for this predicament, this choice and this bomb to be dropped on him mere seconds from him leaving for who even knows how long. But it doesn’t matter to him. You knew what you were getting into, and it’s not his fault he’s needed more often than not.

You should love him no matter what. As he does you.

He swallows thickly, "don't do this. Not right now."

You shrug, "this is your choice. Not mine. You know my terms.”

Bile rises up his throat and his hands tremble before fisting themselves into a little ball, "this is your choice, you doing this right now when I need to leave-"

“You always need to leave. I’m just sick of it.”

Now, Satoru just feels himself getting angry, "is this ultimatum really necessary right now? You couldn't have waited three damn days-"

"I think you're optimistic in guessing you'll only be gone for three days," you chuckle, crossing your arms over your chest. He sees the hurt in your features, but he merely shrugs it off as he continues to put on his shoes. “I’m not kidding, Satoru,” you warn. “You leave. I leave.”

“Then leave!” He shouts, hating the way tears sting at his eyes, “do it! I dont need you! You think I do? I’m Gojo Satoru.”

He does. Good fucking god he does, Satoru needs you like he needs water, craves food and forces breath into his lungs, he needs you like he’s paid to and loves you more than himself.

But you can’t know that. Even if not knowing it will drive you away.

You just your lower lip out and shrug, “then leave. Gojo Satoru.”

In desperation, he searches your eyes for something, anything to call your bluff, anything to tell him you’re lying, you won’t leave him. But your eyes tell him nothing, your eyes are closed off and protecting yourself from his venom.

He balls his fists and takes a sharp sniff through his nose in an attempt to ground himself.

“Maybe I will.”

He opens the door before slamming it shut behind him, the vibrations rattling his bones and making him feel even weaker than he was before. He knows that you might slam the door in a not too dissimilar way in but a few hours, cupcakes abandoned and bags packed into your car, leaving your keys in the mailbox and leaving his life for good.

All he can do is hope otherwise.

But in all the lies he can tell himself, that’s one he’s having a hard time believing.

We head straight towards the Maw, eager to learn about the digestive system of this creature... when suddenly, it moves! Whatever way it can sense the water, it could sense we were not the kind of food it was looking for

The Maw rapidly swims away, and the force of it doing so causes our ship to spin out of control! The spinning propels us against the tail of a different Maw nearby, which smacks us far away until we hit a cliffside.

We land in the ocean floor, on top of one of the Walking Xylophones! It is crawling across the ground quite quickly.

This is a continuation of these posts and is an ongoing choose your own adventure story! (1) (2) (3)

Can you do a post about nonhuman au floyb?? I love that little fucker

Ah yes, Floyd. The not so little, little fucker.

He still has his ear and arm fins even with the potion. He can make his ear fins wiggle and droop and they will sometimes do it unconsciously, perhaps because of how he’s feeling or or he’s eating or sucking on something. After the time he caught you laughing when he was sucking down a smoothie, he will wiggle them on purpose to make you laugh.

He can make the arm fins flare out and go down so he can get shirts on easier but doesn't like covering them.

Still keeps some of his eel coloring and stripes along with his claws. His hands starting with that not-quite-white he has and becoming more of that green-blue going up.

His fingers have little bits of webbing and...are kind of creepily long.

Doesn’t blink as often as a human should and his eyes glow in the dark, along with his habit of staring it can be a bit startling.

Is very instant on getting you in the water with him for some reason. If you can swim, he'll offer to let you ride him but...keep in mind that when in the water either tween can out speed a flying broom. The guy is a living jet ski and you will zoom. Although he won't let you drown that doesn't mean he won't do stuff to scare you and make you think he is.

If you go out to the sea or a lake together expect him to bring back a fuckton of sea creatures that he expects you to eat. He's a very good hunter and plans on taking good care of his shrimp.

Has no belly button or nips.

Is very interested in your belly button.

You're his little shrimpy and he’s touchy when in the mood for it but especially likes how different you are. Small clawless hands are so fun to hold, likes comparing yours to his. Putting your hands on his face cuz it feels warm and nice, enjoy the ear-fin rubs. Body soft n smol, good for hugging and squeezing…and biting…but not too hard cuz his teeth would hit bone very easily.

Skin feels different from what humans have but isn't quite the same as when in his eel form. It's soft but also…thick. There’s no way you would be able to break his skin with your bite or scratches, dull little human nails and teeth can't do much. He’ll think it's funny if you do it to try and get away from him but will want to bite back.

It is actually a good thing you can't break the skin since along with eating fish, crabs, and octopuses moray also eat very toxic creatures and as a result, the blood and flesh of a moray are very toxic. They accumulate high levels of ciguatoxins, which can give humans ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) if eaten. There will be times in a fight where he’ll get his blood on the guy on purpose and Jade has used his blood for…things before. Part of why Jade wants to test “special” mushrooms on others is because the poison won't affect him.

A moray will often eat anything small enough to fit in its mouth and is capable of taking a chunk out of bigger fish. As a result, Floyd will also try to eat…not food things if he can fit it in his mouth. Keep an eye on small nicknacks. Might also just, like, catch a bird and just freaking eat it. He’s learned butterflies taste really bad.

Everything about you just triggers his prey drive. He really wants to bite you…and chase you…and squeeze you…but also protect you cuz you're his little shrimp. Who would rub his face and tell him a good boy if he let you get eaten up?

Can open his mouth scarily wide and his teeth are longer than OG Floyd's. Very long tongue and will lick the side of your face to gross you out.

Has pharyngeal jaws which are a second set of smaller jaws located in the throat of the moray eel, behind the normal jaws in the mouth, complete with tiny teeth. This set of jaws gets launched into the mouth cavity during feeding, where it can grasp onto food, and pull it into the throat to swallow. Morays are unique in using their pharyngeal jaws to actively capture and restrain prey in this way.

Certain eels have been shown to be surprisingly affectionet with divers they recognize and enjoy petting, rubbing, and gentle hugs. Though with how Floyd is it's a little less surprising.

youtube

His gills are still present so his rib area is a weak spot. Getting hit there would really hurt and really piss him off.

Is nocturnal and prefers dark places, especially when sleeping. He also likes being snug and wrapped up for sleepies. In the sea, he would like to sleep in small places with his brother.

Moray have a spongy, sluggy texture from their lack of scales. To top it off, these fish are covered in a thick mucous layer. Believe it or not, mucous serves a very strong purpose in nature, typically providing a protective barrier over otherwise vulnerable layers of skin. Your stomach should have a thick mucous layer to protect it from the acids inside, and similarly, a fish without scales can make good use of this snotty, slimy substance to keep it safe from toxins and physical damage as it occupies its rocky habitat.

The green moray eel is actually brown under all the snot; it’s just covered in a thick green layer of mucous. In some species, this mucous is even toxic, making them a particularly nasty prey item. Luckily what Floyd and Jade have isn't the toxic kind and will make your skin pretty nice. Floyd will use this in his favor to get more cuddles. Though if feeling playful he may perform what is known as a slime attack by slapping someone in the face with his tail, it is very unpleasant to get in your mouth.

The smallest moray, the Snyder’s moray, is around 12cm (4.5in) long, and the largest is more than 3m (over 10ft) long and weighs up to 30kg. A huge moray eel in Indonesia has been witnessed feeding on sharks and I like to headcanon the tweels are pretty big in their mer form and not just because of tail length.

Morays actually have pretty bad eyesight and have a keen sense of smell to make up for this and rely primarily on chemoreception such as smells and tastes to navigate their world. I do wonder if the twins need glasses but don't use them or maybe wear contacts.

Floyd is very good at tracking you down by scent and likes it when you smell like him and him smelling like you. Though he loves cuddling and hugging you, it isn't just for affection. He’s giving you that eel stank, plenty of the others are weary around him and you smelling like him can help keep others away.

Him leaving clothes at your place honestly was out of forgetfulness but does it on purpose now since that time he caught you wearing his jersey…it was so big on you and you looked so cute and its smelled like you and….

The moray can form a true knot with its body, that it uses as leverage to pull on prey items like slippery fish. They can also use this method to create strong pressure to break food items into smaller pieces. It’s thought that the skill is passed on between individuals. So if you want to escape eel cuddles…good luck but it's probably not going to happen. Even in his more human form his long arms and legs will be wrapped around you. Kinda funny thinking of the tweel's parents teaching them how to become living knots though.

youtube

Certain types of eels can change their sex. The leaf-nosed moray born male, transitions as they age, switching to female later in life. This transformation determines them as “sequential hermaphrodites” I like to headcanon that the tweens can also change sex or already have both in their mer form.

Morays can have around 10,000 eggs at a time, and when the larvae are hatched, the eels are fully translucent. I like to think the boys started out as tiny little things you can hold in your hand.

Regular eels do seem to have some courtship rituals. Some of which being displays of behavior, such as graceful movements and vibrant color changes and I already like that headcanon of the tweels being bioluminescent. Maybe he convinced you to come down to his dorm's special pool one night and decided to show off for you. Showing off that beautiful glow while doing these cool tricks in the water. A positive reaction will likely be taken as acceptance, so unless you tell him no, you will receive some wet slimy eel-loving.

Male eels may compete with each other for the attention of females showcasing strength and health to impress a potential mate. I can imagine he’ll be very insistent that you come to his games and watch, though with how he already is and him wanting to impress you further it would be a good idea for a nurse to be present. The other team's guys are going to need it. I think he might also get a bit more…bitey with the other guys around too. You will also be picked up and carried more often.

Eels also release pheromones into the water to attract and communicate with potential partners but..hmm you're just a human and on land. With the others being beasts and all they would be able to smell it easily and know to stay the hell away from him but would his little shrimpy notice? I think at most that if it's something that you can smell it probably just seems like Floyd has just smelled a bit…musky lately. He is probably around you even more and keeps close to see you reaction to it. He probably gets sad if you tell him he stinky and takes it as you not wanting him. If you compliment it? Very happy eel time.

As for the rest of what he does, it's pretty much normal things that Floyd already did when you were just friends. Bringing you food, little trinkets that made him think of you, getting territorial around others, biting.

The BABBY Whorls post! I got quite a few asks about these guys as little-r guys so I just decided to make a new post for em! Info below the cut as always!

SOO Whorls and all pentapods go through a larval stage at the beginning of life. Whorls are ovoviviparous so they are ready to swim and gather their own food as soon as they're born. These lil tadpoles will mostly feed on pond scum but much prefer meat and fruit dropped off by their attentive family members.

At this stage they cant eat a whole lot due to their undersized combs. Combs being the teeth equivalent for pentapods. Combs are heavily copper infused and they need to be shed and regrown as the baby grows. They shed them many many times as they grow until they reach adulthood. Adults only shed their combs every decade or so.

Whorlette's are also sporting unfused shell! Pentapods descend from a fully shelled ancestor despite the very sparsely shelled adult Whorl. Babies are sporting hard, unfused shells when they are in this aquatic phase, but once they leave the water they make the change to their more modern internal shell and rubbery casing. Their limbs are also different! While they have the beginnings of their skeletal system in place, their legs are much more adapted to swimming, ESPECIALLY the hind. In fact the most common issue faced during the transition to land is learning how to use that 'tail' as an actual leg. Many a baby Whorl has enjoyed training braces during their land loving days.

Whorl's spend about a year in their aquatic state before heading out onto land. I haven't decided on their life timeline entirely, buuuut. I'm thinking maybe hitting sexual maturity at 8-10 and being full grown at around age 12-15 and living to an average of about 30 to 40. Not super long :( but they are living fast out there!

Buggy as a cat headcanons

Hey! This is a huge inspiration from a tumblr post by d1ner! I made a small drawing before this post! (Got lazy to add the makeup and finish the ears lmao)

Warnings: very adorable, slight angst, Buggy being a little menace

———————————

Appearance

Buggy is a fluffy cat. So fluffy he’s called the fluffer. He’s so soft too. He still has his nose because let’s be real, is it really Buggy the clown without his iconic nose? Right, didn’t this so.

His fur color is the shade of his hair as a human. And as for his patterns, Buggy has the clown makeup on his face. But the bones are on his back. He has the flash eyelashes as fur patterns as well. Just a cute little blue clown cat with an adorable big red clown nose! I like to believe Buggy has cute little white socks on his paws.

As for eyes, I’m debating whether or not his eyes should be blue or a darker color. Buggy would be very cute with some dark brown eyes just staring at you, begging for food or some pets. But I can also see some shade of blue that’s different from the fur and turns blue & green at times.

Behavior

He’s just a very touch starved and talkative version of my cat. Literally just my cat Eli. Very mischievous and loves to play around. By playing around, I mean he hides under table and beds just to sprint out, pounce on your legs and bites as hard as he can before quickly going back to his hiding place.

Yes, that is what my cat does.

Buggy is a complicated, unpredictable and sneaky cat. Despite his bright colors, you somehow miss him all the time. He slips into doors he’s not supposed to be in, letting you hold him before biting your hand as hard as he can, so many things.

He’s such a troublemaker but he’s just too cute to fully get mad at him. He gets breaks something that means a lot to you, but he’s so cute that you just pick him up and tell him it’s ok and that’s he’s your cute little clown baby.

He pretends that he doesn’t like head pats and ruffles, but Buggy will put his paws on his human’s hand and forces it back down. And if his human walks away from their cuddling section, he’s very pouty and upset. He will throw up a hairball because you left him. He will. Don’t test him.

Very easily jealous. There’s a cat coming up to his human? He’s hissing and starting fights. A dog small or big? Big or small? Don’t care. He’s jumping up and smacking them right in the face. Then he rubs up on his owner and licks his human. Buggy definitely uses his ability to get a few hits on the animal he’s jealous of.

Likes

Buggy is one of those cats that enjoy the (fake) skin routine care with his human. He loves baths as well. Just not sea water. Don’t hurt the poor clown kitty! Buggy jumps in the bathtub and swims around while his human is bathing.

You know that one cat that holds a really long meow for food? That’s Buggy. He’s holding that meow like he’s singing for an opera. He wants his food! He’s making trip with how close he is near your feet.

Please give him his treats. He’s giving you such cute eyes…please give the clown kitty treats. Give him extra! So what if he terrorizes you all the time? He’s so cute!

Dislikes

Don’t ignore him. Don’t you dare ignore him. Keep your eyes on him. Buggy wants all of your attention. You’re taking care of him, just give him a bit more attention, please?

Oh you’re giving your attention to someone else? HOW DARE YOU? Fine! Why not just keep the thing that has your attention as a pet instead? He’s dragging himself around the house, stomping his paws around. He’s upset. Buggy deserves ALL of your attention, dammit!

What’s this? YOU’RE LEAVING HIM ALONE IN A ROOM? ALL BY HIMSELF? Oh he’s just like my cat. Buggy is yelling SO much. He ain’t stopping either. He needs to be with you 24/7. Buggy is meowing nonstop for hours.

He doesn’t like it when you stop being all cuddly and sweet with him after he acts like he hates it. He’s sad and he head butts his human for more. He will lay on top of you and force you to pet him. He’ll purposefully scratches things while staring into your soul because you won’t pet him.

Zoomies

He’s a goddamn gremlin. Buggy is stomping around, running so fast while his tail is between his legs. He’s making noises like a race car while jumping, flipping in the air, circling on carpet and sliding on hardwood.

The slightest movement from you will make him run and jump straight at you. He’s insane during zoomies. Best to leave a bunch of toys out and keep a water gun with sea salt to shoot him with as you try to stay in a Buggy-free room. Trust me, it’s for your own safety and sanity.

(We have water guns for my cat as well. He does exactly this but the race car nosies)

How he met his human

Buggy was abandoned. He was filthy and left on the streets to live or die. It was a rainy evening as the sun was about to start setting. Buggy was at the edge of the sidewalk as the rain was hitting his head. He wasn’t annoyed by it, but he looked so sad and looked like he was about to cry.

Then a human looked at him, trying to get closer and started talking to him. Out of fear, he ran and hid under between garbage cans. When the human followed him, he hissed. He was scared, only just a little baby kitty.

When the human left, he went back to just watching the rain, trying to stay warm. But then the human came back. Buggy arched his cat and started to hiss…until he was the food in the human’s hand.

After some hesitation, he started to eat the food. He was pretty hungry. Buggy struggled to eat the food a little bit since he was so small. Eventually he trusted the human enough to let them pick him up.

“Aren’t you a strange kitty?” Buggy just stared at the human, letting out a cute little meow, melting the human’s heart instantly. He was cold, shivering and still hungry.

Once at the human’s house, they fed him and took him into a bathroom to clean him off. He was pretty dirty. Being wrapped up in a towel, he kept meowing, staring at the human. Them baby talking him and pressing a little kiss on his nose, he started to warm up a little bit more.

He explored his new house, loving the fireplace and the heat that came from the fire. Buggy meowed loudly and ran up his human’s leg when they showed him his clean red striped bandanna, putting it back on.

(He also loves dress up)

Buggy grew very close, but now is very clingy and hates being left alone with the fear of abandonment still affects him. He doesn’t want to left alone again. Even though he’s been with the human for a long time, the abandonment is still there.

But one night by the fireplace with a cozy blanket in his human’s lap, his human rubs his face. And Buggy realizes that he really has found his human and no longer has to worry about being left behind, closing his eyes and falling to sleep.

———————————

A cute little headcanon for my dear friend @raven-the-cryptid <3

RGB Sibling Headcannons

Okay, since it's been a while since I've posted something like this, I thought that it was time that I would finally put it all to paper...

Kai:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Kai is lactose intolerant!

Despite knowing this, he would still take his siblings out for ice cream all the damn time! (Lloyd quickly learned why Nya was always the voice of reason between them)

Nya is a horrible back-seat driver, so whenever Kai's driving, he keeps a chocolate bar hidden within his reach. If she gets on his nerves too much, then he locks all of the windows and starts having himself a little snack...

Lloyd likes to prank him all the time by stealing his chocolate stash and replacing the wrappers with dried licorice.

Totally the most confident driver in the family...just not the most competent.

He doesn't need coffee to start his day, he's just not as much of a grouch if he does.

Nya might be good with mechanics, but Kai's the one who's good at math (It was a shock to everyone when he was able to keep up with Zane's lessons for Lloyd)!

Nya:

Nya has allergies and is allergic to just about everything that's airborne.

Despite all of that, she doesn't have much in the way of food-allergies (unlike her brother)

Nya likes sweets as much as the next person, but Kai made the call when she was young to let her eat herself sick, so now she can only have a little bit of candy before she get nauseous.

She is the most competent driver out of either of her brothers!

Just don't put her in the kitchen, especially early in the morning (unless you're ready to get hit in the face with half of a grapefruit).

Absolutely needs coffee (or some other source of caffeine) to really get a start to her day!

Despite being the Master of Water, she hates being cold and wet (if she's going to be wet, then she'd rather be warm).

She's multi-lingual, as in, she can speak several different languages. She picked them up from all of their adventures...she just can't read any of them for crap.

Lloyd:

Despite growing up and maturing, he still has one hell of a sweet-tooth!

Kai and Nya tried to get him to eat himself sick a few times when he was still a kid, but it didn't work.

He's a decent driver, but he absolutely couldn't drive with either Kai or Nya unless they were in the back seat (and even then, someone else needs to be riding shotgun with him).

Not a morning person, but he has been absolutely banned from having coffee (especially after the Lloyd vs. Jay drag race incident).

He can swim, but Nya never taught him (That was Zane, and yes, he nearly died trying to break his deep-diving record).

Lloyd has a natural ear for languages (thanks to his mother. Wu and Garmadon were crap linguists).

He actually started hyphening his name for a while to Garmadon Jiang after the evil side of his father was resurrected.

Need to know your thoughts on Cynthia putting on that jacket when they get home from the dance. Cause I have a couple theories which both might be false.

1. The jacket is their father’s jacket and Cynthia needed some type of love so put the jacket on for comfort.

2. The jacket could be what Cynthia wanted to wear to the dance…

Would love to know your thoughts on this scene.

Hooo boy I am so glad someone asked me specifically about this, because I am actually very qualified to talk about it!!!

If you don't know me; Hi, I'm Levi, I am a theatre student, I'm currently working toward a degree in costume design and technology, and I have Big Opinions on clothing. Before I actually start talking about said opinions, let me first give a quick rundown on Costumes 101. Disclaimer: my education has been largely in the realm of stage production, but in Costume Land there is a very large overlap between stage and screen, with the main differences being on the technical side, which I will get more into later. That said, given the genre and tone of this show, my stage knowledge will apply.

And a word of warning: this anon has released a beast and this is going to be a long post, therefore I am putting my analysis under the cut. Also, apologies to those I tag, just want to make sure images and gifs get their proper credit.

Now, first and foremost, the purpose of costume on both screen and stage is to give insight into each character and passively tell a story. Therefore, nothing is coincidence and everything is intentional. Color, silhouette, piece, and style are all meticulously selected to bring a character to life and tell the audience who they are.

Example: In the live yesterday, Tricia Fukuhara mentioned requesting a beret she saw in the costume shop for Nancy, and while they did end up putting Nancy in several hats, she was told berets specifically were reserved for another character, Lydia. We do actually see another thespian with a beret, Alice (who IMDb tells me is played by Emilee Nimetz), which has... interesting implications, but that's for another post.

So let's see what we're working with here.

(gif by @stbot)

The first thing I notice is fairly obvious: this coat doesn't fit. That shoulder seam should be sitting right on the ball of their shoulder (think top of the shoulder cap); it's nearly halfway down their upper arm. Think it looks long here? Even when they're standing, it hits about mid-thigh. Not to mention that the sleeves themselves are baggy and way too long. They are swimming in this coat.

What does this mean? This coat isn't Cynthia's.

One could argue that it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that Cynthia would own an ill-fitting coat; given the time period, I imagine it would be hard for a girl to find men's clothing in her size. Except, for the most part, Cynthia's masc clothing does fit.

(gif by @greasegifs)

(gif by @wlwshipper)

(gif by @greasegifs)

(Image by @jealous-kippen)

Cynthia clearly has no problem finding men's clothing that fits. That said, there are technical reasons behind why a garment must fit beyond story-telling. Namely: actors' safety.

Out of any single one of Cynthia's looks, I would argue that this monstrosity:

(Image credit: promo shot)

would be the most likely candidate for ill-fitting garment, character-wise. Everything we know about Cynthia suggests that they aren't the type of person to buy a dress they will likely only wear once (i.e., they are poor: single-parent home, always hungry, excitement over free food (Buddy's campaign candy), and it appears that they live in an apartment).

All this to say, it would make sense for this dress in particular to not fit, and yet, it does. Why? There's a dance scene. While the hand jive itself is not a particularly intensive dance move, Ari is standing on tables, climbing on cars, jumping, crouching, all manner of things that would be dangerous to do in a garment that was too big.

(Side note: I've seen quite a few people suggest that this is an old dress or possibly a hand-me-down from somewhere, or if anything, purchased second-hand. I have reason to believe it's not, but again, that's another post).

Of course, Ari, and by extension, Cynthia, isn't doing anything in the Coat Scene (tm) that would endanger them by wearing something too big. Even still, given their previous wardrobe, it's out of place. And like I said before, nothing is coincidence and everything is intentional. And why is it significant that the coat is too big? Because nothing else that Cynthia wears is.

Now, all this was a very long-winded way to say that this is Papa Zdunowski's coat. It's clearly not Cynthia's, and their dad is the only other person they live with. So yes, dearest Anon, your theory is most definitely correct.

Cynthia had just had probably one of the worst nights in their young life. Their friend group has fallen apart, they've messed up big time with their oldest friend, Richie has been arrested, and they're being forced to confront that they are queer. They come home to an empty house, either literally (dad's still at the shop and mom hasn't been there in a long time) or figuratively (dad's asleep, and mom hasn't been there in a long time). Either way, it's not like they can really talk to anyone about what's been going on with them. But they desperately need comfort. So what do they do?

They wear their father's coat like a hug and get drunk on the couch.

Thank you and good night.

(if anyone wants to hear the costume tangents I forced myself to avoid or just wants to hear more costume rants, feel free to hit up my ask box or dms. I chose this career for a reason and if you give me permission, I Will Not Shut Up.)

I read your analysis/thoughts on sebek and his identity as half fairy and half human, and thought it was very, very compelling. I'm also mixed (but obviously not a fantasy race haha) so your explanation for his condescension of humans due to internalized hatred hit close to home. that post then got me thinking about azul because he is also a character who hates his identity, though in a different way. we learn that he's very insecure about being an octopus, and it's implied that even when he was in elementary school he was researching spells to change ones species (when the tweels said he was interesting, it was on one of the shells). do you think azul likes being a human more than his real self? do you think he'd actually prefer to stay/live on the surface because he doesn't have to deal with the memories of being made fun of for just being him? actually, if the theory of mers placing more value on traits that encourage survival is true, while demeaning those that make them easy pickings (like azul's slowness) wouldn't that mean even as an adult, azul would be kind of discriminated against still, thereby making living on the surface even more attractive?

[Referencing this analysis!]

Aaaah, I’m glad you enjoyed that Sebek analysis!! ^^ That’s one that I’m particularly proud of, especially since I have some personal stakes in the topics I covered in it. Sebek needs more appreciation and understanding!

I think you make some very salient points about Azul. While the discrimination towards octopus merpeople is referenced far less often than the discrimination between fae and humans, it’s still a crucial point in discussions concerning Azul’s insecurities. According to him, octopuses rare compared to other kinds of merpeople. One reason for this could be that octopus merfolk have big, bulky appendages (their tentacles) which get in the way of swimming and leaves them more susceptible to dangers in the deep. As a youth, Azul was bullied for a myriad of reasons, some of which inherently link back to his being an octopus merperson. The other children would make fun of him for swimming slowly, spitting out ink when he cried, and being easy to find during hide-and-seek (most likely due to his larger frame and additional limbs)--all traits which make him an octopus. Azul ended up internalizing a lot of the hurtful comments thrown at him (such as being a "slow, stupid octopus"), and indeed, these are the phrases he himself utters at his lowest moments... that he will go back to being an "idiotic octopus" again.

I actually didn't remember the detail about there being a species changing spell written inside a seashell in the episode 3 flashback, but when I went back to check it was definitely there! (Must've slipped my mind?) I don't know if Azul was studying that spell in hopes or changing himself, if it's for some future endeavor (like the deals he would later go on to make with his classmates), or if he just wanted to expand his own knowledge and become powerful like the Sea Witch 🤔 But!! It definitely gives us some food for thought.

I get the sense that while Azul has formed a new identity for himself and is working on coming to terms with his past, he still harbors some shame which he is careful to mask for the sake of his image. For example, whenever an opportunity arises for Azul to appear in his octopus form but he doesn’t, he hand waves it with a convenient yet reasonable excuse. (In 3-38, he says you don’t see many octopus merpeople in these parts, so appearing as one would draw unwanted attention to himself while he’s trying to return a stolen photograph. Then in 4-34, Azul says he is not a fast swimming because of his tentacles, hence why only the twins revert to their merforms to swim the gang back to Scarabia.) I feel like Azul is purposefully avoiding being seen in his merform because it’s a reminder to himself of his old weak self and he has a lot of self esteem issues tied up in that.

I think being a human, even temporarily, grants Azul a brief escape and allows him to fully embrace this new confident persona he has cultivated for himself. He has literally been made “anew” on land; this strong image of him is all his peers know, whereas his peers in the Coral Sea will have memories of how he used to be. As Azul currently is, I think he has a preference to presenting as human (again, as he’s still working on fully accepting himself). However, I also believe that part of his enjoyment of being a human comes from the lucrative business opportunities that arise from it. He can immerse himself in the ways of the world above and also network, then pull from those experiences to improve upon his own business ventures. This would give him a leg up against competitors that are purely land or purely sea based.

I do think it’s fair to think Azul may live and work on land in the future, though I also think he could return home (in a more permanent sense) if time is kind to him and he’s able to completely embrace everything that he is and everything he once was. I mean, he’ll probably visit home anyway even if he stays on land (as he holds his family and the restaurant staff at his mother’s business in high regard). But no matter where Azul goes, he can never fully escape reminders of his past; even on land, he has Jade and Floyd teasing him about how cute and squishy his octopus form is. He can’t keep running from it. Maybe the Azul at the beginning of episode 3 would want to live on land, where he would be most far removed from his home, and this far removed from his original form and the painful trauma associated with it. But post-episode 3 Azul? I don’t know about that. He has acknowledged at the end of 3 that he made the mistake of rejecting what was an essential part of him. In later story appearances, Azul seems to be a little more approachable, a little more vulnerable (he has those moments where he banters with the twins, when he lets his cool slip arguing with Riddle in 6, etc.). He’s working on it—and with that, reshaping his own beliefs on the world, and on himself. Thus, he could eventually become comfortable with his true form to consider a “return to form” and with it, to the sea.

I also think that the current Azul is a lot more competent than he was as a child, so this would earn him more respect if he were to return. Once Azul started offering his services back in middle school, others seem to have started to treat him a whole lot better (this is also the period where Jade and Floyd get fully invested in him). Most people wouldn’t look at him and see that same crybaby octopus now. Still, it’s hard to tell for certain because there was such a myriad of things Azul was bullied for (his intelligence, his weight, his lack of physical abilities, etc.) which aren’t all tied to his being an octopus.

While I do buy the “merpeople place more value on traits that aid in survival in the oceanic environment” headcanon, it’s hard to say what the real stance is on octopus merfolk in the TWST world is. The only real opinions we have are from NPC merfolk children, and they can be unreliable narrators since… well, little kids can pick on the most mundane of traits. We don’t know if this reflects the feelings of adult merpeople or merfolk society at large; we only have this small sampling to work off of. Circumstances can impact our perception of the lore. For example, Kifaji also says that bird beastmen are rare, but he’s in a wise and privileged enough of a position that we wouldn’t get a good understanding of how bird beastmen in general are treated compared to more abundant types of beastmen like lions.

shjsbskwnzks Phew, those were a lot of thoughts 😅 Hopefully I was able to articulate myself alright!

NINNAAAA WHATS SPCD STAND FOR??

oh, it's not that exciting, it's actualy awful. i mentioned it towards the tail end of chapter five of rm. it's basically what cartman used to call kyle when they were growing up. a really cruel fucked up nickname.

the s.p.c.d,

or rather,

the south park city dump. :(

the sp boys used to be fucking horrible to kyle because cartman ruled their elementary/middle school. and when cartman and the boys saw kyle in the hallway they were like "what are you doing here, broflovski? trash day's tomorrow" or omg whenever he walked ANYWHERE they made the "Beep! Beep! Beep!" trash truck noises, but worst of all was that they used to dump out...Full Trashcans On Him. like spoiled milk, rotted food stuffs, glass bottles that werent put in recycling, crushed aluminum cans that cut his cheeks, all kinds of awful, foul smelling sludge...sigh. :/ ily so much baby jersey.

also, if you want to cry extra hard, i think that being covered in all that disgusting lunchroom trash, feeling it soak thru his shirt, stink down to the skin, pool around his shoes, get buried in his hair -- just feeling that dirty and disgusting and Unclean was one of the factors that made his ocd so severe and it's a large part as to why he takes scorching showers and rubs his skin raw bc especially if he smells something weird or its trash day, he gets triggered & has to SCRUB.

but anygays! you bet your ass that tiny lil stan was giving them ALL the business rippin around on his bike brandishing his hockey stick like a big sword, running them out of town and back to their mommas crying and screaming bloody murder all in that giant wayne gretsky *ravenstan vc* yersey...they were SCARED, lolllll!!!

which is a very interesting juxtaposition to sweet, gentle stan very lovingly picking all the food debris out of his kyles beautiful curly whirly hair before marching him over to the bathroom where while kyle showers, stan always sits on the toliet bc their running joke is that kyle might drown ( yes yersey also can't swim ) while stan listens to rock n colors his nails in w/ sharpie or stolen nail polish from shell.

and he's just like "dude, Fuck them, kyle! those fkn gilipollas are just mad because theyre all total perros and you're the most handsome guy in school, hands down." wHICH? AAA??? tbf stan does say shit like that all the time & Means It bc ravenstan has loved jers from the moment he Heard him but kyle thinks he's fuckin w/ him

bc haha!

very fun joke, stan! hit on the weird, overweight, clunky, awkward, nerdy loser boy to make him feel better about himself! great joke, bro!

bUT ITS NOT A JOKE, BESTIE!!!!

HE WANTS TO KISS YOU SO BAD!!!!!!!!

not them both bein secretly and painfully in love with each other but convinced that acting on their feelings would ruin their friendship/be unrequited and both of them being like "he is perfect, what would he want with a fuckin Loser like me?" :/ </3 WERE IN HELL!!!

regardless of thinking it was a joke, it totally made kyle blush, my rosecea king and stan was sooo nervous like oh my god, you are SO stupid, stanley marsh!!!!! guapo??? gUAPO BITCH??!!!! ARE U ACTUALLY INSANE!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!!

i love nervous ass tiny stan with his massive universe sized crush on kyle broflovski that he carries around in his black jansport backpack at all times...along with the weight of the world, ofc. we know this.

but anyways..off topic.

closing thoughts?

fuck you fartman.

-uncle nina, tiny but big baby jersey kyle defense club

( don't touch my sweet son!!! MY BABY!!!!! )

p.s. i'm sorry i just started making new sections without warning. i wanted a way to post about what the boys looked or acted like during different periods of their lives -- so like, satana ( which is what stans mom called him ) refers to the period of time before the fire and kyle's 'the s.p.c.d.' section also refers to that period of time.

it's cool you guys are so perceptive tho! i hope you like them <333 you're always welcome to ask me questions about them xx

#the spcd nickname always makes me want to cry #i love you baby jersey kyle he is my angel #the world was so cruel to him #just for being fat too like #everyone who has ever hurt jersey can go hell right after they meet with me and i beat the living shit out of them...til they Die #stan was mad over protective too and stan was weird but he had Clout from being pretty so he was like IF I SEE THAT SHIT AGAIN ITS OVER #and then goes to lovingly tend to kyle like dude im so sorry you dont deserve this shit look im gonna tell their moms #and theyre gonna get so busted and have to pay you back for al your clothes...then we pretend to hit the gap and go to good will instead #and use the rest to buy tokens at the arcade or buy the new mario game and see who can finish a pizza faster its me btw #theyre in love ur honor like why didnt i give them a chance like they were...so married #ALSO AN ANON ASKED ME ABOUT BALLET KY #YES JERSEY TOOK BALLET it wasn't his idea it was an accident bc they were marking electives #and ballet was RIGHT next to basketball and then basketbal got full and sheila was like I ALREADY BOUGHT YOU SHOES UR GOING #and like at first it was really awkward but i think kyle actually really liked the structure of ballet and when u dance beautifully #what he found is that no one had anything to say about his weight just that his pirouette was perfect it was freeing #he dropped it during the kyley b era #but picked it up again in college and its kind of a form of self harm and he fucks up his feet very badly trying to be perfect #also hes like fuck all those people who laughed at me im perfect now im fucking perfect i have to show them i have to be the best #sigh...kyle kyle kyle...ill elaborate on that more in one of the ballet kyle asks but kyle loves ballet and going to preformances #ice skating and dainty refined stuff which is cute bc theyre very nosm like jers on ice skates and stan w the hockey stick during winter

Mighty Morphing People Eaters +

Editing that 6 picture draft thing I posted earlier about how a lot of the morphers have in fact eaten people. With the addition of a Julie Saz interaction about it after the fact. Thought it would be a great inclusion after a point @the-void-writes brought up. Also me trying to puzzle together Julie's morphed form a bit XD. Though it's probably just gonna be the partially morphed one.

Tag list: @outpost51 @nanashi23 @winterandwords @jezifster @kk7-rbs @aether-wasteland-s @dumbthunder @manathen @the-void-writes @liv-is (Let me know if you want to be added or removed from the taglist!)

Saz groaned, sprawled out on her back. Stomach sounding out with her. The bear morpher turned her head to the side. Ignoring the grass tickling her nose. Until a particularly invasive blade invaded her nostril. She simply huffed out nasally breath. Too hungry to really give a damn.

Elliot stepped out of Ian and Julie's place, staring at Saz. He scratched at the velvet on his singular standing antler, with trimmed nails.

"You okay?"

"I'm fucking hungry!"

Saz lifted her arms, letting gravity toss them back down. Repeating the action as Elliot tip-toed over barefoot— Saz had noticed. Briefly wondering if she had taken the last pair of the deer morpher's shoes. The thought rudely interrupted by the insistent grumbling of her stomach.

Elliot had a shit eating grin going ear to ear as he leaned over her. Reaching down to pat the bear morpher's stomach.

"Hungry enough to eat a person?" Elliot questioned far too amused with himself.

Saz growled, low in her throat. Baring her teeth at the deer morpher highly unamused. She slapped the hand Elliot offered her, muttering a good when he winced. Flinging her torso upwards. Her locs hitting the back of her neck. Tossing a few back and out of her face.

She rolled her eyes at Elliot's muffled laughter. Too far gone to appreciate that he at least was trying to withhold it.

Ian, approached, obviously having overheard. His deer ears having pinned back at the sound of a wheezy inhale from the redheaded asshole. Apparently, a lot of Elliot noises made his ears do that. He wrapped a bright red set of hand wraps around the branches of his antlers. Each antler seeming to be dedicated to one pair.

"I heard a lot of morphers say it's pretty gross," Ian shrugged looking at Saz who had fully risen by now, "I personally didn't hate it. It was a really long mission though."

Saz looked at Ian and blinked, "Wouldn't call it fine dining." She grumbled.

Elliot looked to him baffled, laughter in control now. Silently offering a shoulder for the hungry Saz to rest on.

"Uh, Ian our teeth aren't that sharp."

Ian held a shrug, awkward smile curving his lips up. Rubbing his hand roughly over his mouth, disturbing his facial hair.

"Didn't eat it raw— And not necessarily in a hunt." Ian's grin grew a little more confident at the admittance, "Killed it with my antlers. Your crush and I butchered it. We tossed it into the flame during a very overdrawn mission."

Saz tried to bite back her disgust. Tugging absentmindedly at her scruff. Elliot had a very different response, taking it with strides.

"Am I the only one who hasn't had human?!" Elliot questioned.

"Out of us, yeah," Ian responded, not noticing Saz's disgust or growing ire towards him.

Saz grumbled remembering how she had guts stuck in her teeth and beard. How awful it tasted. And how persistently it lingered. If desperation had a taste she thought her first taste of human was that. She wiped aggressively at her mouth with the back of her hand.

Elliot crossed his arms, "We gotta fix that."

"Y'all can fix that. I need real food." Saz pushed off of Elliot shakily walking forward.

"Why didn't you get food with Julie?" Ian washed curious, laughing at the way Elliot had stumbled back.

"Something about helping with new recruits and needing a swim."

Elliot and Ian made loud noises of understanding. Catching up to either side of Saz.

"You know there's a pretty good vendor out here. Got burgers I'm pretty sure." Ian mentioned.

"Oh oh! I heard about them. I think they use specialty meat." Elliot grinned twisting his barely there scruff between his fingers, "They might even serve human."

Saz briefly thought about yanking it, but she new it would probably yank it out. So she shoved her hands in her shorts pockets instead, gripping her thighs.

Ian rolled his eyes a little but laughed, "They got it a blend so you won't even notice?" He joked.

Saz gagged, "Have fun with that. I'm gonna go eat a pinecone or something."

Saz began to walk off from the two joyful deer morphers. The bear morpher growling with the same ferocity of her stomach.

"Saz wait! Julie's gonna need something tough to chew through!" Elliot said through gasps, hand reached out to use Ian as support.

"Good for the tummy and the soul. Guaranteed!" Ian added, doubling over.

Saz turned around and flipped them off. Their echoing laughter actively pissing Saz off. Wandering until she reached the goofy little convenience store they all had ran through. With newfound vigor, she bolted.

(The Extra Scene is below the cut)

Julie climbed out of the lake, holding her catch in her mouth. Dragging herself along until she believed she was far enough on the shore. Her morpher form made it nearly impossible to see clearly.

"Julie! You done?" Saz called out sitting a distance away.

The hagfish morpher heard her open a bag of chips, with a loud pop. Julie laughed in a rapid following of snorts. Submerged in slime, basically forming a puddle beneath her.

Saz watched the gills on her neck flutter. Unbothered by the rows of far too many teeth forming a smile.

"Yeah. I can hear you were able to find food eventually." Julie's eye darted around until she saw a Saz shaped blob.

Saz waved when Julie finally found her. A handful of chips already in her mouth.

"Sorry for leaving you hanging." Julie quickly apologized, cursing out as she began to return to her human form.

Julie had made demorphing look easy. But Saz hadn't seen the morpher in her fully morphed form just yet. Maybe that was the reason. The hagfish morpher practically curled into herself as her face restructured itself. Saz couldn't tell beneath the slime, but she was sure there were tears under it. Once fully back to her human form she held her mouth, eyes clenched shut in pain. Slime still hanging off of her.

"You left me with your asshole of a friend." Saz spoke, eyes still on Julie.

Julie stumbled forward, carefully holding her catch. She grabbed the multiple rolled towels she had brought with her and chuckled a little.

"What did he do now?" Julie asked wiping the slime off of her face and arms, aggressively, very aggressively.

Saz instead kept her eyes on Julie. Both were unbothered as Julie peeled herself out of a very stretched shirt in disgust. The slime formed thin strings as she worked it off.

"You've eaten people... By choice," Saz stated, resting her chin on her palm.

Julie briefly stopped what she was doing. Her eye locking with Saz's immediately. The morpher began to ooze slime again.

"I have," Julie answered honestly.

"Did you like it?" Saz's voice held no malice, only curiosity.

"Sometimes yes. Sometimes no." Julie answered, dragging the towel down her body.

Saz's face twisted then. Julie swallowed hard, trying to wipe off the slime with the small hint of desperation creeping up on her.

"They were long missions. Missions where we lacked the supplies and it was just more convenient." Julie added, she shook her head knowing she didn't have to tell Saz that but she was going to make it worse, "And once to prove a point."

Saz grumbled a bit, obviously in thought, "What was the point?"

Julie laughed softly at that one. Couldn't help herself. Wrapping her catch in a clean towel. Tugging off a pair of shorts she had very much gotten from Ian. Saz thought she looked better with them off. Waiting for an answer Julie wiped as much slime as she could off her legs.

"That I could," Julie grinned a little then, gripping Saz's shoulder as she bent down to whisper in her ear, "And that I'm nothing more than a wild animal."

Saz whipped her head around to Julie. Sliding away a little, watching Julie with wide eyes. Finding that a smile with less teeth was a little scarier. Saz could feel her heart pounding at her temples.

"Was that," Saz paused eyes trying to look anywhere besides Julie's eye, "Was that one of the times it uh tasted good."

Julie shrugged, ultimately shushing the bear morpher.

"I'd never gloat about my eating habits—I guess that's what you call it—like Elliot and Ian. I've already said too much." Julie laughed softly, chewing on her bottom lip.

Julie wrapped the one remaining towel around herself. Tying it methodically. Before hoisting the two fish wrapped skillfully in the towel.

"Come bring this to one of the vendors with me. We can't just live off MiniMart hot dogs. And I know your friend is selfish and won't cook for us."

Saz rolled her eyes but nodded. Still on edge from their just ended conversation. She had a little more space between them on their walk back than usual.

#writeblr #random writes #Ian and Elliot can be little oddballs #So they're a little more brash about it just because they think it's kinda funny that people eating is like the scariest thing they've done #But I'm thinking a lot of the morphers that don't morph into naturally preying animals are insensitive about the people eating thing #Julie is very straight forward like she's gonna say what's on her mind but she's more hesitant about it #And not just because she was talking to Saz #oh uh shit to I need to put a warning?#cw: body horror #<- A little #cw: people eating

I have ideas for a few Order-specific roles!

River - Redirector (Meant to create and maintain overflow spots for the river so if it floods it usually doesn't hit the camp as hard as it does in canon, also specialized in swimming in faster waters so they can save anyone swept away) (they need more flood prevention cause the thaws would probably be a nightmare otherwise)

Thunder - Inspector? (Meant to keep track of and fix any potential falling rock/branch issues in the camp and territory if they can, also trained to do heavy lifting to help recover anyone trapped) (how we didn't get falling rocks in either Thunder camp afaik is beyond me)

Shadow - Overseer? (Meant to keep tabs on the ecosystem and such in order to make sure the Order will continue to have resources, also good at thinking and responding quickly to less battle-intensive issues such as someone getting stuck in the mud) (for some reason I think of Shadow as the one needing this the most)

Blood - Messenger? (Meant to send messages between different cats within the Order to ensure swift communication within the city and alert cats of potentially dangerous buildings, also taught to be quick and nimble on their feet to help with their task) (I think Blood would like to branch out and have little subcamps, and they'd need a post office kitty group so they can do that easily/safely!)

And then ofc Wind gets Tunnelers, which I think would be responsible for those tunnels as a source of food and an escape route without letting them collapse and take out the whole camp or smth crazy. They'd be good at digging cats out of collapsed tunnels, as well as maneuvering in minimal light!

Ough these r goooodddd

I'm may use some of these 🤔🤔🤔

Time to dump :)

I’m so sorry-

(Future note here, I said I was going to post this three days ago but got to caught up in my own lore… Jesus-)

Anyway I’m going to try to articulate a bit better what CC is then what I’ve said in the past, this is going to be more like a ramble if anything but please bare with me because good GOD I need to talk about this as it’s been a personal project for years that has gotten barely any work due to the fact that I’ve had no one to speak to with about it.

To sum it up firstly, CC - or Cotton Candy - is mostly where I look at a piece of media and ask myself “How can I make this worse?” and proceed, think horror AU’s and things of that sort. The only driving difference between CC and Horror AU’s is that everything is pastel colored in theory, and clothes and things of that sort are frilly and fluffy and so on and so forth.

I admit, I take some theories and other headcannons I’ve adopted and use them but a lot I believe is Original.

The most developed, as I’ve said, is BSD CC, as it was the first I even had the concept for.

I’ll give a quick rundown of some major changes and then give a bit of information behind these changes and my reasons behind them.

1. Chuuya & Dazai switch places. By this I mean Dazai is still in the mafia while Chuuya is with the ADA

2. Oda is alive and apart of the ADA

3. Ranpo is apart of the Mafia

And those are just some major-ish changes. Where it really gets interesting is with the more in depth details, such as:

1. Atsushi was not raised as a “human”. The Director wanted to dehumanize him as much as possible, and as such raised him in a way akin to that of owning a cat. He was not given a name in the orphanage, instead called by serial number “0946” all his life. He was never aloud to pick up human speech, being punished whenever he dared utter a word, only aloud to make cat noises. Best he can do - in terms of act like a human - is walk and run on his legs, despite basically being trained to only crawl/walk on all fours. He can barely understand human speech unless it’s a command/praise (i.e. sit, stay, come here, bad kitty, good kitty, get down, bath time, etc).

Punishments were just as if not more harsh, he wasn’t taught to swim but he’d be thrown into pools or pool equivalents, shock collars were a favorite of the Director, locking him in small dark closets, leaving him in a small dog cage for hours or days without exit, forcing him to live in his own filth for hours or days, so on and so forth.

Unfortunately this was his life for years, and as such his tiny little brain put together “Pain = Love”, which the Director used to his advantage, only further cementing that into his mind. Degradation became praise (but real praise was still held super high) and pain became the equivalent of saying you loved him.

And even worse for him, the orphanage wasn’t the absolute best at its job, kids often dying under their care, and with nowhere to put the children - as a graveyard behind the place would look suspicious - they had to turn to less than moral (as if they had any…) ways to get rid of the bodies and you know… there is a reason why Atsushi was named the “Man Eating Tiger” in the future…

By the way, did you know that once you eat human enough, it’s impossible to stop as it has so many calories compared to other foods that your body gets so used to that amount of calories that it physically shuts down at anything less? Now you know :D!

When he hit eighteen, he was still kicked out not knowing shit about the outside world. Tried rubbing up against a few people, got called a pervert (he didn’t know what that meant), ran a while, made it to a small river… you know the rest. Though… i think it was a red-head and a brunette who saved him… huh.

2. The reason Dazai stayed is because Oda and Chuuya left before him. Dazai had introduced Oda and Chuuya and they actually made good friends. Dazai, Ango, Oda, and Chuuya would drink together to get away from their shitty mafia lives. After an unfortunate accident involving Kōyō that led to her death, Oda took the opportunity to then take Chuuya under his wing, much to Mori’s chagrin. After the unfortunate death of his Orphans, Oda would go to fight till his inevitable death, but instead of just Dazai trying to convince him not to go, Chuuya would also be there. After his departure to fight, Chuuya would follow behind Dazai’s back, after which he would surprise attack before the shot that would cause Oda’s death. The other was caught off guard, both his and Oda’s games thrown entirely off. Chuuya would miss due to the man’s ability, but Oda would take the chance to end it once and for all. This would lead to the same conclusion as with Dazai, this time however Oda being able to follow behind Chuuya.

To give them credit, they tried their damndest to reach Dazai to take him with them when they left, but Mori also did his damndest to make sure they didn’t. It got to a point where they were practically forced out because if not they would’ve been forced to stay, but they swore to get Dazai out because ✨friendship✨! Unfortunately Mori jumped on the opportunity to use their departure to make Dazai more dependent on the mafia, leading to an unhealthy obsession with the two in trying to “find out” why they “left him”.

3. Ranpo is only in the Mafia because Mori is a spiteful bastard. Mori, after his years long break up separation from Fukuzawa, began to follow and track the man’s movements to the best of his abilities. This eventually led to him finding out about the man’s new assignment that would connect him to Ranpo. His family was well known for their intelligence, and finding the boys location became of much importance to Mori, in which he did. He ended up finding him before Fukuzawa, ended up giving him a pair of his own personal glasses, and took Ranpo under his wing.

This leads to Ranpo being an executive in the Mafia, often partnered with Dazai. He’s practically the same in terms of personality, but extremely sadistic and creative when it comes to weeding out traitors and taking down rival organizations.

Naturally there’s more, including some rather extreme changes to characters and their behaviors *COUGH* Kunikida *COUGH* but it’s something I love and would adore to share with all of you! As a finisher, I leave you with a few of my favorite facts about my favorite character of this AU…

… Cotton Candy Mori!!!! Yay!!!!!

1. He calls all the executives by a surgery/sweet/candy themed name/nicknames! Ex. Dazai - Chocolate themed, Akutagawa - Dark Chocolate themed, Ace - Black Licorice themed, Hirotsu - Malt Balls themed, Kaji - Lemon Drop themed, etc etc!

2. Mori has well over 50 dogs under his care, nearly all of which are bigger breeds. He has two main dogs, one being a Tibetan Mastiff & Giant Alaskan Malamute mix - being named Cherry Marmalade, and a Teacup Pomeranian & Teacup Poodle mix - being named Belial.

3. With Mori’s nicknames comes Dazai’s “teasing”. Despite staying with the Mafia, Dazai still fucking hates Mori. A subtle way he shows this is in nicknames. Not in a mean way, but where Mori calls everyone by sweet names, Dazai calls him savory names like… Spaghetti. Beef Stroganoff. Tuna Sandwich. Bullshit names like that because he knows it gets under Mori’s skin.

That’s enough for now but as I said, Cotton Candy is a passion project I’ve had for well over a year now, and would love to share with all of you!

Now, the nature of this project is darker as it’s me trying my best to make things as bad as possible with what I’m given for these characters! So it would delve into some… darker content, but should I ever post anything I’d be sure to add content warnings!

I hope to continue to post about this in the near future, and as such I’m open to questions about characters and lore! I hope to be posting the story at some point, sooner or later is up to debate.

Have a lovey day/night!~ <3

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd x reader #maybe #bsd x you #bsd au #personal au #passion project #please don’t let this flop guys😭😭

Welcome to day 9 (technically 10) everyone I'm a lil bit inspired to write cutesy stuff today as I am finally done with finals.

I kinda wonder if anyone else thinks along the same vein, or if anyone thinks different regarding what our boys in the 141 would prefer to do with their free time/ R&R time between missions?

• Price: I feel like he would be the type to want to settle down at home, simply existing within the comfort of a steady, constant place. His shoes by the door, his coat hanging in the closet. He could sit out on a porch, smoking a cigar with a drink and breathe easier knowing he was home.

• Ghost: I feel like he'd like to get off the grid, and just kinda dissappear. He's very resourceful and self reliant as is, so I feel like he wouldn't mind just hiking out and cutting off from the world for a bit.

• Soap: Seems like the type to travel a bit. He knows his way around a few places suspiciously well, and likes finding little quiet nooks in bustling places.

• Gaz: Would probably like to relax near water. Hit up a coastal area, enjoy the sun, discover new foods. Maybe investigate the local touristy activities.

• Alejandro and Rudy: I feel like they'd like to explore local areas, kind of go on road trips. They'd get lost and somehow find their way back at some point, new stories and jokes to tell along the way.

• König: Likely prefers hiking, swimming, or camping. He may like people at times, but definitely doesn't want to be in the midst of a massive crowd. He'd avoid city centers and the like, preferring little quiet zones best.

Adding that this was technically posted on the 10th, and I'm kinda sad haha. First slip up on time management on my part, I'm sorry. I wanted to do my course evaluations as I had one hell of a class this semester that I wanted to share my thoughts on with my uni.

#call of duty modern warfare #simon 'ghost' riley #cod mwii #ghost #headcanons #john 'soap' mactavish #alejandro vargas #kyle 'gaz' garrick #rodolfo parra #könig call of duty #feel free to use #fluffy #tag me if you do #captain price #so sorry #i posted late #forgive me?

Saying this on anon because I don’t want to reveal the area I live in. Anyway, related to that shoplifting post, here in Texas we had our grocery store H-E-B close down a store due to shoplifting. It was in the Killeen/Fort Hood area off of Rancier Dr which is a pretty poor area (right outside the gates of Ft Hood). My husband used to rent out there and we had been at that H-E-B a few times and even witnessed shoplifting. When H-E-B left, the local news criticized the grocery store because it created a “food desert”, there used to be one or two other grocery stores around but H-E-B had been the last one hanging on. Thankfully, from what we saw in their press release, they didn’t fire their employees, they were offered positions at nearby stores. So, no, shoplifting doesn’t affect the company, they’ll just pack up and move.

The line from "Going Postal" there about how when banks collapse bankers rarely wind up destitute, it hits the people they service is pretty spot on.

Popped this up on a different post, ran the story when it was new too, one bit really stuck out to me which is why I remembered it as clearly as I did.

That would be this part right here

Insurance companies, just like this shop are a business and after a certain point they will not cover your losses, they have people that need to be paid too.

Very much like one of the few not evil things to come from margret thatcher,

'problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money'

Problem with shoplifting is eventually stores pick up and leave because it's cheaper than staying open, now all the people that depended on those places don't have them and they're double screwed.

You're not gonna get a lot of the people that went and made this possible to feel bad about it, they only took a cup of water out of the swimming pool there was still plenty there, right up till the 10,000th person took that last cup of water out they all said one cup isn't that much.

It's not, but 10 thousand people saying that makes it a whole lot.

As a younger child, I used to wish for a situation where I’d be in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of people I wanted to know, I hoped that it’d be some sort of confusing experience so no one would know how to get home just yet, they’d have to get to know me first before leaving wherever the middle of nowhere was.

(Strange wish but back then that was my solution to getting to know people when I felt too anxious)

Although I’ve grown with a fear of my appearance, I’m glad I’ve found my appreciation of my individuality and similarities to people.

I wanted to make this post to appreciate a camp memory, camp has never failed in making life feel like a dream for me.

Just a walk felt like the most beautiful thing to me that day, there were multiple activities going on at all different far journeys of the field. Swimming/Boat riding, Deer skinning, Fire making

I was curious to see what the deer looked like after death, Daniel told me that the reason it was brought for us to see (if wanted), was to be aware of what we eat since it’s quite avoided in everday life. I got the chance to stroke the deer, thank you it felt like.

A boy who was supposed to be in my age group but put in the one below because of the slight earlier school year was at this activity.

We started a bit of small talk and then he asked exactly what I was thinking, “do you want to see the other activity near the other site”,

It was fairly sunny for the while, we walked through a bunch of long grass and talked.

I usually get a bit unsettled when talking with people, well it depends on the person

But talking didn’t feel like talking, it just felt right, I wasn’t even thinking about it like I always did.

The conversation was a way of bringing back memories of days I had forgotten temporarily too.

We talked so much and ended up going the wrong way after all that walking, I slightly remembered the way to the right site though so we headed there and got hungry on the way,

We found where a lot of the cars were parked and by them was like 30 packets of white bread, he opened them and asked me if I wanted one, I was criticising just eating plain bread but on the way back I ended up eating a piece haha.

It was a bit pesky to carry so we left it in a bush with the perfect hole for it.

He mentioned a bunch of sports/activities he had done and I related, apart from boat paddling, maybe surfing he mentioned? I was really intrigued by the way he talked about all of it, sounded like he had some really good days on holiday.

I got a bit frightened whilst walking up a narrow rocky hill that the pathfinders (older group) previously used for nightgames (sort of camp halloween), then we both heard a big bang so we walked towards it and we found the swimming activity. Someone tried building a fire on rock so it exploded, never knew that to happen until then.

There was a small boat ride and I wanted to go on it so much, we both got on and he paddled. We were in a small lake and it started to pour rain but it was rather beautiful how the rains drops hit the water we were on.

After that we got off and walked back, talking about the food we like.

Parted ways after watching people make dream catchers, I really liked that part of the day.

For the last part, the staff had asked if what our magic moment of the day was, I really wanted to mention the walk with him but I thought it would be strange so I said the double rainbow.. Liar!

He came to our group fire on the last day and the camp staff asked us once again what our magic moment was for any day of camp, this time I vaguely said the boat ride and he mentioned it too :) That little comment made me feel happy, I was happy to share that walk with him.

The pictures are a bit of a reminder of what the walk looked like to me.
