Accidentally Forgot About This Acc But CONGRATS TO MY SUNSHINE!! Happy Birthday To The Sweetest Boy Ever😭🙏♥️

[ID: Two panels from the BSD manga. The first shows Fyodor, clear eyed with an open expression, asking "What year is it?". The second shows Dazai looking down at "Fyodor's" corpse, saying "Then who the hell is this?" End ID.]

You guys. You GUYS. I feel so vindicated - it was significant!

And also I'm bringing this potential reference back because I forgot about it until right now.

[ID: Part of a white book cover. The author is Dostoevsky. The title is The Double. End ID.]

"Constantly rebuffed from the social circles he aspires to frequent, the timid clerk Golyadkin is confronted by the sudden appearance of his double, a more brazen, confident and socially successful version of himself, who abuses and victimizes the original. As he is increasingly persecuted, Golyadkin finds his social, romantic and professional life unravelling, in a spiral that leads to a catastrophic denouement."

"One critic wrote that The Double's main idea is that "the human will in its search for total freedom of expression becomes a self-destructive impulse"."

[ID: A screenshot of a paragraph from The Double's wikipedia page. The sections of note are highlighted: "The Double is the most Gogolesque of Dostoevsky's works", "a parody of "The Overcoat"", "Dostoevsky alters and wholly repeats Gogol's phrases". End ID.]

...Nikolai, I'm so sorry buddy, but I think you're screwed.

og agency trio! 

The different and sometimes tiring types of reactions to the neil gaiman allegations

- ‘neil didn’t write good omens’ (he did and we simply have to learn to separate art from artist)

- ‘how dare you think about anything else but the victims’ (people can care about multiple things at once + these allegations have been known for months and months?? some of us have processed this)

- ‘how do david/michael/etc feel about this’ (it’s none of our business)

- ‘donate to victims of sa’ (sure if you can)

- ‘bdsm is fine WITH consent’ (it is)

- ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty and i refuse to condemn him’ (go read the article / enjoy being blocked by me)

- ‘his writing was always Problematic’ (learn to separate art from real life victims of sexual abuse please)

- ‘his writing can still mean a lot to you without you being a bad person’ (yes. just try to avoid giving him money maybe)

- ‘it’s just terf propaganda’ (it really really isn’t. and fuck terfs)

- ‘reminder to prioritise your own mental health, step away from online spaces if you need to, and: you have no obligation to read the entire article if it’s too triggering’ (true. you’re still a good person i promise)

How about we do this cool thing during pride month where we finally accept that not all queer people inhabit perfectly curated social bubbles populated only by other queer people, especially in countries that are largely homophobic, and be more open towards the idea that cishet people can sometimes be great allies and even greater friends!!!!

Wouldn’t that be awesome !!! Please!!!

Hi ito, was rereading some of your fics today and got so much nostalgia from when I first read them, which reminded me of how lovely and amazing your fics are and just wanted to let you know that they've genuinely shaped and impacted the way I am (to a very extensive degree may I add). Which led me to wonder: Do you have any of those? Like, do you have any fics that have rewired your brain or changed your life in any way? It would be very interesting yo know!

Anyways, again I love love your fics, they'll forever hold a space in my heart, hope you have a good day :)!

I'm sick today and was dying in bed when I read this, but it kind of felt like being revived in a video game. I'm now dressed, fed, and on my laptop. The miracles of people being incredibly nice to me.

Honstly though this is such a lovely thing for you to say. I can only hope that the thing I've chosen to do for a lifetime (making art in many forms) actually impacts people :D

I do in fact, have many of those! Some of them are bookmarked on my page and some aren't but here's a few that come to mind:

first love/ late spring by citiboys: obviously. i have gushed about this fic so many times, I've grown trite and predictable. It was like unpaid therapy. It has influenced all of my jjk works and the very way I think about relationships in real life.

Choke by valleykey: truly rewrired the way I think about the art of fics. the medium in general you know? It's truly limitless, the way traditional publishing won't ever be, and that's so wonderful. I'm lucky enough that Key is my friend now, and I get to gush to xex about xir work.

On the process of being unmade by kinematics: funnily enough, key recommended me one of their works first,, but it's this one that blew my fucking brains off. The amount of class consciousness and politics and understanding of trauma this person manages to inject their stuff with is unreal.

11:53 by bokeae: I must have talked about this before. Like, there's no way. This fic shot 16year-old-me in the head. It's so fucked and so spectacular and I can't believe it's only 20k words but manages to take me on a journey that literally rips the fabric of space and time. Largely the inspiration behind "F#A# Infinity."

most of user Gravitational's works: they have truly mastered purple prose. I've studied their style so many times. I've read and re-read all of their jjk works. I cannot comprehend the artistry with which they weave emotions into words. I aspire to write like them one day.

and last but definetely not least: I Was Screaming Your Name Through The Radio, by ElectricSplatters: call me basic, I call me a fan of the classics, okay? Compared to the rest of this list, this fic is the most played-safe in terms of style but my godddddd does this person know what good miscommunication means. It's in the way they make me understand why the characters can't say these things to each other, even though they feel it to a catastrophic extent. It's in how their dynamic visibly matures on page, as they grow older. I don't think I'd be off if I said this fic is what shapped most people's understanding of skk outside of canon.

i tried to include a variety of stuff in terms of fandoms and ships in case anyone wants to take a dive but these are like...A key to the fucked up basement that is my head. Sun leaks through the broken windows every once in a while.

have an amazing day and thank you for making mine :D

*kicks feet* uhuh yes, it’s a time loop fic *giggles* oh yes, yes, it’s horrid. Absolutely sick. *twirls cup of coffee* of course it can only end badly, who do tou take me for?

Happy birthday to my honey bun cutie pie blue-eyed princess Satoru Gojo

happy dazai day everyone ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Why can’t we just stay right here?
