I like the fact that Daphne Hardy gave the name “darkness at noon” for Koestler’s book because she was the first one who translate it to English and it also was the only one version of the book left after the original carbon copy was lost. Until 2015 when student found it in archive Daphne’s translation was reading around the world for 79 years. I think this is so beautiful. Oh, I forgot to say they were lovers

Is your soul okay?
So cute
They’re not set species or anything but I did loosely base them of certain kinds. Chuuya is more of a long haired bobtail and Dazai is kinda tortoiseshell stray mix.
Like most photos this looks slightly better irl, the lighting sucks.
Btw I didn’t have any au in mind, but thinking in Warrior Cats terms I don’t have much other than they wouldn’t be country cats but city strays.
do you guys ever wonder how devastated Professor Granville must’ve been after Obake’s accident at SFIT? She obviously blames herself for a decent chunk of it, if not the entire accident. Like, it fucked her up so badly she felt her only choice was to take the fall for it and straight-up resign, even though she obviously loved teaching and loved her other students besides Obake. Do you think she saw herself as more of a parent/really involved mentor role to him rather than a professor? Because I think so.
And then Hiro made the exact same thing that Obake made, it must’ve torn her apart all over again to see her new prodigy, her new protégé who she had been trying to teach limits to because she now knows how important they are, go down the same exact path that Obake did 20 years ago. Like, I am imagining her pain right now, her fear, the sense of failure that she hadn’t been able to save Obake and now she couldn’t save Hiro either (and I have low empathy so it’s SAYING something that I can imagine her pain). And then Hiro lies to her and says he won’t make the amplifier, and she’s relieved, like, maybe she’s actually saved him. Maybe he won’t make Obake’s mistakes
But then of course Hiro actually makes the amplifier and breaks her heart all over again. Also adult Obake showing up and messing with her, pushing the exact button to just destroy this poor woman (“you made me the man I am today”). Like damn, Professor Granville NEVER gets a break in this show.. someone needs to write a fic where she’s happy for once.
Personal headcanon that Henry has shed real tears over the burning of the Library of Alexandria and the fact that he'll never be able to study there like so many of the scholars he idolizes.
This was the original idea. Statue chuuya !
