This Just Makes Alastor More Likeable For Me, It Makes Me Be Able To Sympathize With Him, Understand

I didn’t have my glasses on and I thought that Angel was seducing Alastor by playing the djambay🪘

Angel wants to conquer Alastor, and food is the way to a man's heart. 🤭🤭

Knowing it works makes Alastor kinda angry

Thanks for telling me friend 😭 I now know what I'll be obsessing over for the next few days weeks months

mary h.how many bsd novels are there i thought it was just the agency aku one and the dazai one but theres more apparently?? how many different bsd spin offs are there i am so confused

OHHHH BOYS. BESTIE YOU ARE NOT READY. THERE ARE SO MANY. and i know this because i own every single novel that has an english release (i'm linking all the ones that do):

Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam - this is the one with the Azure Messenger, infamously adapted into the present day in the middle of season 1 when it's actually set 2 years in the past as Dazai's entrance exam into the ADA.

The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency - what the title says, currently being adapted in the beginning of season 4. The novel also includes a short story set the day before Atsushi's entrance exam about the ADA planning what his exam should be.

Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era - this is one of the Dazai ones, about his time in the mafia with Ango and Oda, adapted in the beginning of season 2.

Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen - another Dazai one, the one (poorly) adapted at the beginning of season 3, about how Chuuya joined the mafia. Has a currently ongoing manga adaptation.

Storm Bringer - sequel to Fifteen, longest of all the novels by far, set when Dazai and Chuuya are 16 and we find out more about Chuuya's origin story. And so much more, it really is a thicc novel.

55 Minutes - the second longest novel after Storm Bringer yet the least talked about (despite how much it elaborates on skill singularities and the nature of abilities). It's a self-contained story of the ADA going to solve a case on an artificial island off the coast of Yokohama, featuring two new ability users H. G. Wells and Jules Verne (hence a relatively sci-fi heavy novel and i wrote a 2k+ word essay analysing all the science behind it lmao)

Dead Apple - novelisation of the movie with some extra scenes and more elaboration on some details in the movie. Also has an ongoing manga adaptation with official english release.

BEAST - this is the Akutagawa in the ADA and Atsushi in the PM one, with a completed manga adaptation (also released in english) as well as a live-action movie that came out last year.

Gaiden (Another Story): Ayatsuji Yukito vs. Kyogoku Natsuhiko - the novel has no english release yet, but it's a spin-off about different ability users and i think Ango is the only recurring character from the main series there. There is an ongoing manga adaptation which does have an official english release.

The Day I Picked Up Dazai - i don't think this one is formally released yet as it was a bonus novel given out at the screening of the BEAST movie. It's divided into Side A and Side B and i haven't read this one yet but i believe it's about how Dazai and Oda first met, where each side follows the other's perspective. There's a completed fan-translation of both sides by @popopretty.

Kunikida and Katai's Magnificent Days - this is a really sweet short story about Kunikida and Katai's friendship and i have no idea where the official version is from but there is a fan-translation of it you can read here.

In addition to BEAST and Gaiden there is also Wan! which is the super cute casual chibi spin-off manga with no stakes and no angst and only vibes, it is still ongoing and has an official english release. Some of the chapters were adapted into the Wan! anime series with 12 episodes (they are shorter episodes of 10 min each) and it is literally free therapy and will give you a year's worth of serotonin!!

There is also the bsd anthology series, which are side stories written and illustrated by different mangakas, there is no official english release that i know of but you can find fan-translations of some of the side stories here and there online.

We also have bsd mayoi or Tales of the Lost, the mobile gacha game which also includes a high school AU storyline (bsd gakuen)!

Other than these, there are also several stage plays, although it's harder to find content on these in english since they are only performed in Japan.

Bsd fans are truly the most well-fed fans of all time sometimes i forget how much content we have and still we keep getting more, it's unreal

Can we have more Letty Shaw please? 😁 Also, question: does Letty end up with Dom in this AU? 'cuz I'd love some overprotective siblings, only to give up when they realize that their wild sister was bound to fall for another loco eventually

Absolutely friend! I'm loving this idea! And yeah, I think I will have Letty ending up with Dom. Mostly because I don't really ship her with anyone else and I love the idea of Dom now having to get through three other Shaws to get to Letty 😂

First part is here

~~~

Deckard was nearly sprinting down the street as he rushed towards his little siblings' school

It was Letty's first day at school with Owen and Hattie, and now Deckard was going to be late picking them up

He honestly hadn't meant to take a nap after his shift at his part time job, but he had just been so tired

And had woken up to only having ten minutes to get to the school that was several blocks away

Jumping around a gaggle of teenage girls, Deckard could see the school in the distance, with kids still pouring out

Maybe his siblings wouldn't notice that he was running late

He didn't need Letty think he didn't care

The little girl was the same age as Owen, but didn't have his level of cockiness. She'd need a bit more time with the other Shaw brother for that to happen

Instead, she had been quiet and reserved as she watched Deckard and his siblings go about their normal lives. Letty was still getting used to London and everything else in their country

But, she had kept Deckard up late, asking all sorts of questions about European cars. That probably explained why he needed a nap so badly

Finally slowing his pace, Deckard stopped a short distance from the entrance of the school and tried to look over all the kids' heads to spot his siblings

And found them standing at the entrance with one of their teachers

"Shit!" Deckard muttered under his breath and waded through the throng of kids towards them

As he got closer, he could see Hattie holding Owen's hand tightly and shuffling her feet nervously. No doubt because of the way both Owen and Letty were glaring up at the teacher

Owen was holding Hattie close to him as he tried to puff his chest out. He looked the furthest thing from intimidating

Meanwhile, Letty had her arms tightly crossed and her face was dark with anger

Just what I bloody needed, Deckard thought to himself as he approached the small group. The teacher didn't look particularly happy to see him

"Deckard." Ms. Applebottom said in a clipped voice. "I supposed your mother isn't in town."

"No, she isn't. Left this morning." Deckard lied easily. Their mother never wanted to be bothered with their schooling, especially if it was about any antics or shenanigans they got into. "But I can talk if you'd like."

"I shouldn't have to talk to a child about another child's behavior!" She snapped

Deckard bristled. He was hardly a child! He was already fourteen!

"Then let my siblings go and I'll have my mum call you." Deckard said firmly, sending his own glare up at the woman

"And never receive a response?" She hissed. "No, I'll talk to you, at least you can handle these two, now three."

Out of the corner of his eye, Deckard could see all three of his siblings puffing up like angry cats and ready to claw the woman to pieces

"Fine. Lead the way." Deckard gestured to the teacher and grabbed Owen's hand, who squeezed his hand tightly. Glancing over, he held out his other hand for Letty, who was too upset to take it

Making a small train, Deckard led Owen by the hand, who had Hattie's hand, with Letty walking next to Owen. The teacher barely looked back at them as she led them to her classroom

"You three sit there while I talk to your brother. And don't you dare try anything!" Applebottom snarled at the younger Shaws

Deckard instinctively put himself between her and them

Keeping his back straight, Deckard met her gaze evenly. If she wanted at them, she'd have to go through him. She only sneered at him

Following her into the classroom, Deckard sat across from her as she fixed a glare at him

"Where the bloody hell did your mother find that little American?"

"Letty's always been our sister."

"Please," the woman snorted. "She's far to savage to be part of your family! Just listen to the way she speaks! The kind of language and slang she uses! Completely uncivilized."

"She speaks just fine." Deckard said through gritted teeth

"If she continues to speak that way to me, I will have her removed from my class entirely and away from your brother."

Deckard clenched his fist

The only way they had even gotten Letty to agree to go to the school was promising she could be with Owen

"She's still getting used to the city, she needs to be with Owen." Deckard tried to explain

"Then she better learn quickly." Applebottom snapped. "I am not taking her attitude anymore!"

Deckard swore he could feel one of his veins in his forehead pop from how tightly his jaw was clenched

"I'll talk to her." He said roughly

"See that you do." The teacher sniffed. "What was your mother thinking taking in a street urchin like her?"

That was the last straw

Standing too quickly, Deckard knocked over his chair as he seethed at the woman, who stared at him with shocked eyes

"That's my little sister you're talking about!" Deckard hissed and leaned closer. "I don't care if she badmouthed you, but it seems like she needed to so you could get that stick out of your arse!"

The woman gapped at him, speechless

Not giving her time to recover, Deckard stormed out of the room

To almost trip over three small bodies that were crowded around the door eavesdropping

"Come on." Deckard grunted

He held his hand out for Owen's and received it quickly. Glancing over at Letty, he held his hand out for hers again. This time, she didn't hesitate to put hers in his

This time, Hattie was holding onto Letty's hand as Deckard led them out of the school

They were all quiet for the first block when Letty gently tugged on Deckard's hand

"I'm sorry for causing trouble." She mumbled

Deckard sighed and shook his head. Looking down at her apologetic eyes, he smiled

"Dont worry, Oh gets into a lot more trouble than you ever will. We're used to it."

"Yeah!" Owen chirped. "Applebum already hates me!"

Letty giggled at the nickname and Deckard was glad to see the severe look that had been on her face disappear and be replaced with a smile

"Deck?" Hattie spoke up

"Yeah?"

"Can we get ice cream?"

"We have food at home, Hatts." Deckard sighed

"Please? Can we?" Letty begged

"Yeah, Deck! Let's do it!" Owen exclaimed and tugged on Deckard's arm

Rolling his eyes, Deckard steered them down a side street

"Fine." He huffed

But smiled as he heard three cheers of excitement

I hope you enjoyed friend!

You’re a member of the Z-team. Your team is who they send in when teams A-Y have failed, but that’s never happened before. But to everyone’s horror, that day just came.

Okay, the one thing I’m confused about because of the new F9 trailer. Dom and Mia are siblings, right? So unless Mia or Don’s brother are half siblings, they should be related....what do you think?

Oooookay buckle up because this answer is going to be longer than you expected because BOY HOWDY do I have some thoughts about the trailer and also about Dom’s dynamic in the series in general. 

I’m going to put it under the cut because.. because it’s super long because I care way more about these movies than I should. 

Keep reading

Here’s another silly video ^^

Popular YA books and are they worth reading: my opinion

yea im just going to get into it

Harry Potter: Overall good books. They do have plotholes and lack representation, but have a great fandom that makes up for it. A great intro to magic and fantasy for the younger end of the YA spectrum. 

Overall verdict: ignore the cursed child and you’ll be fine

The Hunger Games: I thought these were really interesting books. They deal with political themes that are really important to be aware of. After reading these books I would sit in class and figure out how I would kill all of my classmates in our own hunger games. 

Overall verdict: heck yeck

The Fault in Our Stars: Pretentious and kind of hard to read, but not that bad. Pretty basic and predictable but still entertaining. The Anne Frank kiss was yikes.

Overall verdict: each to their own. read some reviews before picking it up

Twilight: Not as bad as everyone says it is, but still pretty bad. Really creepy and also pretty damn racist. Has some interesting side characters. I never read past the first book so I don’t know that much. 

Overall verdict: there are better books to spend your time on

The Mortal Instruments: Not outrageously bad, but not Oscar worthy. It’s kind of just there. Characters are pretty cliché, and some very unnerving themes are included, the YA Game of Thrones when it comes to incest. 

Overall verdict: Read her other series; they’re much better.

Divergent: fun enough. the first book is the best. very confusing and full of plot holes. not that memorable tbh. 

Overall verdict: just read the hunger games

13 Reasons Why:

Overall verdict: don’t

The Maze Runner: the first book is decent. it’s an interesting concept and an entertaining read. beware of an overabundance of boys. 

Overall verdict: go ahead, just don’t touch the sequels

Six of Crows: world can be a bit confusing at first if you haven’t read the grisha trilogy, but you pick it up pretty quickly. well developed characters, world, and plot. 

Overall verdict: hell yeah

Throne of Glass: starts off pretty basic, but decent. gets less decent as it progresses. beware barfing, toxic masculinity, graphic sex, and killing of minorities. 

Overall verdict: i genuinely have no idea what demographic this series is for

Red Queen: more into the political aspect, not that much action. glass sword is the low point. improves a lot in the last two books. iffy lgbt rep. Maven Calore carries the entire series on his back. 

Overall verdict: it’s not for everyone, but give it a fair try

The Lunar Chronicles: pretty enjoyable. i like the twists on the fairytales. the characters work well together and carry the *pretty simple* plot well. beware possible racism? idk i don’t really remember i was like eleven. 

Overall verdict: yeah sure why not.

Anything by Rick Riordan: i haven’t read his more recent stuff (think past heroes of Olympus), but i’ve heard good things. the books are fun, and overall really good. i think they’re meant for a younger demographic but i’m not entirely sure. 

Overall verdict: please at least read percy’s retellings of greek mythology
