the last line being "feel strongly / that's what you do when you want to experience the past" is so important to me genuinelyyyyyyy like. god. god. the dead authors manga for people who are bad at living. the lack of a solid time setting when it comes to bsd in a very deliberate way. the things that asagiri is always always saying about death as a transient state through bsd. fiction and emotion and death and the aftershocks that these dead authors and their literature leave across history.
If This Was a Movie by Taylor Swift fits sskk and I would like to say why ๐
If anything, it fits them double now, due to chapter 121.5, and it would *so* be from Atsushi's pov after Akutagawa died in their fight against Fukuchi, but it could also be from Akutagawa's pov
"Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there" THAT IS SO SO THEM ๐ญ like it just fits Atsushi's mourning after Akutagawa died (and the six months lyric is just perfection)
"I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you" Atsushi reminiscing and thinking back to the fight with Fukuchi is very well described with these lyricsย
"Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out"
Just the whole entire song is so similar to them. The pain, the loss, the heartbreak. Everything Atsushi regrets, everything that haunts him about Akutagawa's death. All his hopes that Akutagawa could come back (thankfully he did but then l m a o Atsushi had to go and die โข-โข)
Sskk makes me unwell I love them so much ๐ anyways I was just obsessing over this song and realized it fit sskk to a painful degree lmaoย
Bsd wan doodles ๐ they're all from the first manga volume
I drew them all on the same page;
So I decided to rework my old BSD tattoo and flower shop au
I finally decided to come back to this au after a lengthy hiatus from it, why did I suddenly come back to it? I just recently got a tattoo for myself and it reminded me of this thing I made so why not improve it since I'm bsd obsessed again.

Miscellaneous characters (+Guild Coffee Shop)
Additional Info:
Around the block is a cozy coffee shop run by Francis
Lucy and Atsushi became friends after a scar cover up session
Poe is considered Ranpo's favourite client
Kyouka's parents are alive but they're always overseas
If Atsushi kept a diary, how do you think he'd write about Akutagawa in it?
soooo much crisising. nearly every entry is a drawing of akutagawa and a word vomit about his complicated feelings and how confusing they are and aaaaaaaa why does he sort of want to kiss the guy who used to be his enemy WHAT IS GOING ONNNN
Akutagawa, that's kinda sus
Friendly reminder of that time when Atsushi saved Akutagawa from dying by body slam/grabbing him and then Akutagawa proceeded to use Rashomon to keep Atsushi safe as they crashed through the window in each other's arms
youโre losing me - taylor swift
whatโs like an ambitious fic idea you have? Or idk favorite au to write/read?
there's sooo many big fics I want to write but idk if I can handle all that ๐ so I stick to oneshots and short fics (like six chapters max for me tbh, I have commitment issues)
So smth ambitious for me uhh
That might be my WIP "stole my heart" which is a thief Atsushi x detective Akutagawa longfic set in 1920s America. I've written little for it but it's huge in my head, I'd say it's ambitious because I'm writing like a whole mystery plot to it (Poe pls help me) but it's also gotta incorporate lots of romance ๐
There'd be a lot of miscommunication and pining and probably smut and lots of angst and moral dilemma and ofc m u r d e r because even though Atsushi is just a thief in this doesn't mean I won't go all Agatha Christie and murder some people in the fic (also Atsushi isn't a petty thief, he's a big-time wanted criminal :>)
It's been really exciting to brainstorm! :D
And for favorite AU to write might be...hm... ngl I hate like all of my writing but an AU that's fun every time is a wild west AU
My favorite AU to read is probably a college AU ngl they just hit different every time (I may also have a soft spot for it bc it was a college AU that got me into fanfiction)
