GOD !!!!!!!

elliott when he finds about all those down bad things i was saying abt him in 2022. .. . . . . #notproud

Okay, who put this stupid little bastard on my screen?

long time no ink drawing! this was fun

it's mochizuki monday! have some old doodles because i miss him 💛

thinking about petty asshole verlaine chat I need him sitting on a ceiling sipping tea and reading a book and I need Rimbaud to just sigh disappointedly and ask whats wrong and I need Verlaine to just sit there in the most passive agressive silence and go "Nothing! Why would you think that?"

and the thing that was wrong was he tripped on a rock 2 weeks ago and Rimbaud laughed THIS MAN IS A FUCKING LOSER

but i also need this stupid stupid stupid idiot baby of man(especially in the early days after his labbreak) to stare in confusion BUG EYED at Rimbaud bc he put a hand on his shoulder, like I don't think hed say anything hed just stare for 30 seconds weighing out every reason why he, logically, had to do that? and then for 5 seconds hes like "is this hostile??? am I being attacked????" and then is like "nah nvm this is fine anyways" like i need more wet feral stray cat verlaine who you have to pet with a wooden spoon for 3 weeks or else itll start screaming and attack you

Adventures in de-girlbossifying female BSD characters, pt. Gin Akutagawa. I've already talked a bit about how I think people tend to write Gin fairly simplistically: as the supportive and sometimes protective younger sister of Ryuunosuke, who is also a badass assassin who rarely speaks.

I think what people tend to gloss over is the implication of Gin being situationally nonverbal. Please correct me if I'm wrong (I've done what research I can as someone who doesn't experience this), but selective mutism tends to correlate with social anxiety, which generally is a trait that I rarely see Gin portrayed with, despite the high likelihood that she has some degree of anxiety surrounding social situations. It even makes sense why she couldn't speak in the beginning of the series, but was able to hold a conversation with Tachihara later on. Gin is the younger sister of one of the Port Mafia's elite, and it can be inferred that Gin only joined the organization because Ryuunosuke was recruited by Dazai. Even someone without a pre-existing disability would probably feel nervous about how they're perceived by their coworkers (accusations of nepotism, general misogyny, etc).

This is just my oc-ification of Gin based on limited canon portrayals of her, but I think Gin would struggle with a fear of receiving criticism or contempt a lot. She's comfortable with speaking within the Black Lizards, and maybe a little bit with the ADA, because she's grown to understand and expect what their responses to her will be. It's not that she doesn't speak because she's shy or reticent (though she can be these things as well), but that she can't speak, because there's the sense that whatever she has to say won't be received well.

Personally, I also agree that Gin isn't innately timid or meek by any means, but I also think that people, once again, oversimplify her because she's a female character into a girlboss caricature that is infinitely capable and strong, when she's portrayed in the series as someone with multiple layers, personas even, in a literal sense.

Accurrate depiction of a dog owner and a cat owner

they say that if a murderer kills a murderer, the amount of murderers in the world remains the same. this is not applicable to Assassins Georg, who kills twenty murderers each day-

I don’t typically like when star trek characters reference legacy characters just to talk about how great and perfect they are but I do like this route where even though Tuvok calls him a great visionary in the end he brings Spock up to say he argued with him. I think this is the way of the future. Lean in. Star Trek characters should say things like ‘An old man cut me off in space traffic the other day. I think it was McCoy?’ and another should nod and shake their head like he’s always doing that shit

mc is so cute <3

I will not stay silenced any longer. I really cannot relate to the badass girlboss Yomi truthers crowd. I'm sorry but constantly being so obsessed with proving your prowess and supposed superiority via [gestures at every single time he appeared in the game only to act like an insecure manchild who has to continuously reassert his authority he feels entitled to with continuos self-praise, lashing out with petty insults, violence or even pettier wackier violence] are not the acts of someone who is at all secure and confident in their abilities and themself,

"I like this, you know?"
