There’s A Comic In Anthology Hana Where Dazai Talks About Oda And Explains How Having A True Friend

its called payback

right i thought i’d finally post this its from april gonna be honest but i havent drawn much recently because lots of stuff has been happening. yeah this ones #cringe

OK correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the main 'yin/yang' parallel with Atsushi and Akutagawa is not something like 'this one is bad but secretly has a good side and this one is good but secretly has a bad side'.

I feel like it's more about 'who they are at their core vs who they choose to be'.

At his core Akutagawa is kind and at his core Atsushi is not. But despite this Atsushi tries every day to make the kinder choices and I love him so much for it. He has to work so hard to be good.

He wants to be a bitch SO bad I know he does but he tries his best to help people and be nice (sometimes he fails but that's OK <3)

Atsushi doesn't always WANT to help people, a lot of the time he's selfish and scared, but he does help people anyway. He keeps helping people over and over again. There's still some selfish motivation to it, and his initial motivation for helping people was because the headmaster told him that's all he was worth, but overall he does care about the people he helps and it weighs on him if he fails to save them. And of course, as the series goes on he starts helping people more because he can rather than because he feels like he needs to.

In Akutagawa's case, he's still capable of being kind but his environment led him into being someone who chooses to hurt people. But he's always been a protector at heart. In the start he was bad compared to Atsushi because he was choosing to hurt people and keep the cycle of abuse going. Just like how Atsushi developed in why he saved people, Akutagawa starts to get redeemed when he chooses to not just act on his rage. Not only does he start to spare people, but he speaks more kindly to them (apologising to Higuchi and telling Kyouka he's proud of her). It all culminates into the moment he chooses to help Atsushi and sacrifice himself for him, going back to his core value of being a protector. Even when he's finally revived, he keeps this role in his new position as Aya's Knight.

I kind of see the streaks of white in Akutagawa and the streaks of black in Atsushi not as their 'hidden sides' but as their fundamental selfs. That's who they are at their core, and their main colours (black for Akutagawa and white for Atsushi) are how they're presented to everyone else and how they try to have people see them as.

Artober day 17: He'd be right

Rewatching "Dot's Quiet Time" from the original Animaniacs series and just the beginning sequence alone is my favorite part of the song.

Like Yakko and Wakko

Just being brothers

Their little outfits!

Oh yeah, and then Dot just sitting there contemplating whether she's going to murder her brothers or not. (They're being annoying so I wouldn't blame her.)

The song itself is pretty great too! I'm kind of disappointed it never got an updated release like "I'm Cute" did. (There's apparently a soundtrack version but I'm guessing it was released on one of the earlier CDs or someone just created their own version?)

This and the Animaniacs theme that plays on the stereo at the end of the song both deserve their own singles.

Tsukasa’s Future

In Chapter 14, Tsuchigomori said that Amane Yugi was going to become a school teacher when he grew up.

Obviously, this never happens, and instead Amane Yugi dies and becomes a ghost living in a girl’s bathroom stall. Ouch.

But, it is interesting to imagine the future, isn’t it? What kind of person he would grow into if he didn’t die… what kind of person other people would grow into if they didn’t die…

You know where I’m going with this, riiight…?

What’s the future of Tsukasa Yugi?!

hey (leans on mansion), hope this application is good to join the fandom

Two children/teenagers have a pretty Wacky Weekend and discover more about eachother than they could ever think!

Anyway Snufkin and Sniff bodyswap story but Sniff is actually a respectable character with his own depth and is able to be on equal footing with Snufkin as a foil.

Looking for treasure at the Hattifatteners' island

(May 2022) Personally, I really like the theory of gojou losing 6 eyes (in a narrative sense).

Possible foreshadowing hasn't been incredibly subtle either. These are from the 2 openings and the Phantom Parade video (Avant by Eve, which is technically not canon but still a recurring theme). Vivid Vice especially had a bunch of foreshadowing for the Shibuya arc, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was slipped in there too.
