The ADA’s Driving Situation Is So Funny To Me When I Think About It, Like-

I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.

'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.

Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?

Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.

It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.

Chuuya did in fact have a big ass sword.

(head)canon that kunikida is the only one who carries a gun with him. headcanon its because kyouka isn't interested in killing. yosano thinks her giant knives are better. kenji is far too young. atsushi isn't trained. fukuzawa strictly uses his katana. and finally. dazai, tanizaki, and rampo are banned from guns because they would shoot anyone who inconveniences/annoys them.

Before it was Dazai being a cute man whore, now he's just gay.

If we as a fandom are going to yap endlessly about Chuuya, can we at least acknowledge the fact that when this man uses corruption he moves around like a literal cryptid goblin thing?

Why he jump like that?

What are you, a skinwalker?

It’s worse in the manga y’all.

Yea no, this is spooky behavior.

Anyone else fall in love with the small, imperfectly human parts of people? The lopsided smiles, old scars, freckles and moles, I could go on.

I dunno it just feels very charming.

I think it speaks to something innate about humanity and the societies that exist in BSD, honestly. (And by extension our own world kind of.)

The ultimate goal is power, no matter its cost. Even if that means ruining and ending lives. Even if that means destroying a person’s chance at ever getting to know peace. Even if it comes at the expense of the world itself.

Those that have something that can be used shall be used. Their human attributes and personality just needs to be thrown away first.

But that’s the thing about ability users in BSD, you can never fully separate their humanity from them. No matter what is done, they prove their humanity time and time again, even if they themselves don’t realize it.

Those in power will always fail to use you if you keep sight of your humanity. That’s what separates you from them.

Something something, Mori's immortal army plan and all the trauma it created, being a way for him to prove ability users are useful and worth keeping around.

The hunting dog's being turned into killing machines and routinely undergoing surgeries just to survive it. They are heroes but it's at the cost of their freedom and peace.

The only creations made by ability users that history deems worthy being weapons like Amenogozen and the One Order.

Child ability users like Chuuya, Kyouka and Teruko being stolen away from their family and treated as less than human because they would make a better weapon.

Children like Atsushi and Yumeno being abused and made to hate themselves all because they have an ability.

Ability users bodies being turned into weapons even after death, like the Holy Sword, the Old Boss, Shibusawa and Fukuchi.

Ability users like Sigma, Bram and Mushitaro being used like tools by organizations because of their abilities.

Combative abilities like Demon Snow being passed down the bloodline forcing children to grow into weapons.

Something about ability users being dehumanized and used by non-ability users for years and years, yet they are the ones villainized for being what they were forced to be, every time.

Something about Fyodor having lived to witness all of this and all that came before. Internalizing that resentment towards ability users, perhaps having been the victim of it at least once, and deciding that the only way the evil will stop is if ability users didn't exist.

hey, did you know that the world is a better place because of your creations and art and writing, no matter how niche or how many people see it

I swear I could see Atsushi being brutally nice to Akutagawa just to fuck with him.

Just to confuse him.

Just to make him question all things.

(He learned it from Dazai)

People can say what they will about Dead Apple, but we all have to admit that it’s got basically everything you could want from a Bungo Stray Dogs movie.
