Time To Look At What Weird Music Selection Makes My Brain Go Happy

If Emily Bronte can describe Heathcliff growling in Wuthering Heights, so can you.

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

Here is a sketch of Arabella that I drew around last year. (Yes I know she looks a little derpy, this was basically on the back of some reading I had to do)

Hey, do you know the age difference between Shizuo and Kasuka?

Oh boy! I feel honored that someone decided to ask me something. Thank you.

I believe he's three years younger than Shizuo. That's through a guess and the knowledge of my friend who's way smarter than me. Also the wiki says that but I wasn't sure since wiki isn't always the best at that sort of thing.

Hope this brain knowledge helped you.

Cursed? More like uper interesting. Because this could have so easily happened. Mika noticed Seiji purely because of Mikado's name in the anime. In fact, Anri makes a similar remark about knowing him before meeting purely because of his name.

To start off with, there's the whole distance thing. I think Mika wouldn't resort to up and leaving to find Mikado's hometown on the get go. Especially when she probably knows he will be moving to Ikebukuro soon anyways. So I imagine she would resort to cyber stalking for the time being.

Imagine the scene. Mikado is interacting with his group chat friends. There's a cute girly account interacting to him. One would think, "oh that's Izaya pretending to be Kanra". Nope. It's Mika.

Now I don't think Mika would be as intense with Mikado at the start as she was with Seiji. Mostly because distance might have forced her to tamper down her feelings. But once Mikado gets to Ikebukuro, that changes.

Similar to the anime, they bump into each other. But instead of running away screaming, Mika sticks around to show her interest in Mikado. Masaomi acts all super jealous because "no fair, you got a cute girl on your first day" but encourages the idea of Mika sticking around for the city tour.

This gives Mika the chance to follow Mikado home, and when he says "hey want me to keep walking so you get home safe?" She's like "oh no, I think I'll stay at your house" which makes Mikado realise "ok, getting kinda uncomfy here".

Mika then proceeds to make herself at home. Mikado tries to make her tea and be a good host, but he just can't settle down easily with her just, not taking her attention off of him for even a second. He doesn't even have the chance to try and call the police, but he attempts to brush it off because she's not actually being dangerous or harmful towards him.

So like, for the first few archs he's in a perpetual state of "this is fine" as Mika just does not leave him alone, and yet shows her endearing side by genuinely looking out for him.

Cursed Durarara!! AU: Mika gets infatuated with Mikado during the entrance exam

Spoilery ramblings under the cut

Because here is the thing. We know from later in the series that Mika has SCARY knowledge of EVERYTHING. She is a horrifyingly determined and effective stalker.

She would figure out immediately who Mikado is. And would take it upon herself to help him. People are giving the Dollars a bad name? Time to ruin them for Mikado's sake.

It would obviously change a LOT in the series, especially in regards to Celty's head, and the Yagiris role in the plot, and it is hard to pinpoint exactly how things would unfold...

God help Aoba, once he gets involved in the plot. The two of them would have a total weirdo-off over Mikado's attention. (I have the feeling Mika would win)

>James Bond voice<

It's Bitch...Britney Bitch

Shizuo: What the fuck did you do?!

Izaya: Why do you assume I'm responsible?

Shizuo: stares at him

Izaya:... Okay maybe just a little.

I'm not going to be on tumblr for a while. I've gotten really anxious and stressed lately. Please spread the word of Ikebukuro Records while I'm gone.

I can't remember the specifics of when Izaya started getting access to the underground but I'm guessing it was pretty young for normal standards...actually given the common trend of gang warfare maybe not. But I feel like he got a little more deep into it than any of the colour gang leaders did. Like didn't he get recruited by Kine?

Anyway, given that and his apparent brilliantness its no wonder so little was done about his delinquency. Even his fights with Shizuo. Like imagine being a teacher for him, and trying to inforce the rules, only to have the knowledge that some yakuza guy has got this kids back for whatever reason. "Oil barrels? I don't see no oil barrels?"

On one hand, no wonder he comes off as a little bratty, but can you blame him? You try being a teenage guardian to two younger sisters. I can see why he might have signed up for an easy route too. I know his parents might have sent him money, but how much of that would really help him? He's a student, if something else came along that allowed him to afford a babysitter I wouldn't blame him for taking the deal.

And imagine growing up where some of the only adults in your life were criminals.

There are so many things that tie into how fucked up he is.
