I Think It Would Be Adorable If Jeremy Started Playing Songs With French Lyrics In Them To Make Jean

Bungou Stray Dogs, where 90% of the cast are cat people. 🤣🤣🤣

So, the anime I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time is hilarious. Only two episodes have been dubbed on CrunchyRoll (I'm too lazy for sub, sue me), but as an adult who's worked in customer service and had to pull double shifts and deal with shitty customers, it's pretty good so far. I highly recommend it.

I know we make fun of Kevin and Neil’s habit of thinking only of exy right after something traumatic happens (Seth's death, Neil's focus on his racket after Andrew’s attack, the bloody happy birthday jr.). But I think some people overlook that it's a trauma response and a very well written one at that. It's a form of disassociation that, on the outside, looks very dismissive, disconnected, or irrelevant from what's actually happening. Both of them turn to exy because it's mentally a safe place for them, and focusing on it is their brain's way of feeling a little in control of the situation.

Okay, this has been nagging at me since Season 3. I know having the first person the audience sees Fyodor kill be a slave kid named Karma is significant, but I'm not sure in what way. BSD has had a lot of throwaway characters, but they never put that much emphasis on one. Hell, Coffee Shop Dude has been seen multiple times and has ties to the main cast, and I don't think we even have a name for him. (Side note: according to the wiki, the waitress Dazai flirts with is named Belladonna. Puts a whole new meaning to "flirting with death.") But Karma gets a distinct look, full backstory, and a name even though you could've replaced him with a faceless grunt, and nothing about Fyodor and Ace's interaction would have changed.

It could've just been foreshadowing for Fyodor's actual ability. However, it seems a bit over the top to be that. Especially when the hint in Dead Apple is executed so well in such a short scene. Pluse, the writer and artist of BSD knows how to plant things in advance. The artist noted that Tachihara being a hunting dog is revealed in his clothing because he's the only one wearing the green that's on the hunting dogs uniform (in the manga) instead of the Mafia's red/black motif. And how long did that reveal take?

The random POV change to a throwaway character is just weird, too. As a writer and editor, it doesn't make any sense. There's no payoff. He's not tied to the main cast. It would've been more impactful to the audience if it were a character we already knew. And I doubt Fyodor cares or even remembers the kid.

I know that whole interaction was cooking something, but I don't know what, and it's bothering me.

Thank you for your time.

It will never not be funny to me that Khun is an ice wielder, yet he's always the first to complain about it being too cold.

I wrote a 1,800-word one-off based on a post I made a while back questioning what would happen if Fyodor took over Chuuya. So, if you’re interested, check it out.

The first time I saw this when I watched the anime I straight up was like, "Okay, they have that type of friendship." It reads like an inside joke to me. Like they're referencing something from when they worked together, and it just became a running joke that no one else would probably understand.

Bones robbed us of Dazai literally laughing out loud at Chuuya's rich girl act.

I think the only reason we don't see Dazai using a gun at the Armed Detective Agency is because they refuse to give his suicidal ass access to one. We know he had no qualms about using one, so that's the only reasonable reason I can think of as to why he wouldn't have one.

So, judging strictly by how the fandom represents SKK, I feel like "Rule #34" by Fish in a Birdcage is a good rep of Beast SKK, while "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters is good for Original SKK.

In cannon, I think "We Don't Have To Dance" by Andy Black is actually a good rep for Chuuya and Dazai's current relationship.
