No because as a writer/artist and someone who consumes media with the intention of actually paying attention and looking into the characters themes, etc, things like this are incredibly annoying and only poison the well.
I often wonder if things like this are contributing to the slow dying of media literacy, and the more I hear about it, the more I believe that they do.
Art, in any form, is not supposed to be for mindless consumption. To make a creative work with that intention is to strip it of one of the things that make art so important to humanity.
I never get when people say Soukoku are doomed by the narrative. Like it makes sense in Beast but regular old bsd Soukoku?
The narrative wishes it could doom those idiots but they slot back into place the moment they see each other like no time has passed at all.
If anything the narrative is doomed by them.
You know, sometimes I struggle to call myself disabled. And it’s not because I think the word “disabled” is inherently negative or demeaning. (I’ve long since grown out of that mindset.)
Really, half the time I feel like, “well, I can still hold my own in hearing spaces! I don’t even use aids! I don’t have it that bad. I’m not disabled enough.”
But even so, if I’m not focusing hard on the person speaking to me, I probably wont be able to understand them.
If a room has background noise, or if someone is standing on my left side, hearing them will basically be impossible.
If people aren’t right in front of me they really have to project or else I won’t be able to understand a word they say.
It takes so much energy every day to make sure I’m hearing and understanding everything around me.
I am disabled.
Yet general society has pushed the narrative that disabled people cannot function ever. To truly count as disabled, you must always be cared for. You must always be in a wheelchair. You must always have aids. If your struggle isn’t immediately obvious, are you really disabled?
And that’s bullshit to me. Because all it leads to is being infantilized, looked down upon, and scrutinized endlessly. It’s especially bad for those who are neurodivergent or otherwise mentally disabled.
We shouldn’t have to live like that. We shouldn’t have to justify and prove our suffering to everyone we meet so we can get the accommodations we need. We shouldn’t have to be looked down upon for being disabled.
hey could you imagine tachihara rejoining the mafia post current arc but then the government comes knocking on his door claiming his body is "government property" because of the surgeries? wouldn't that be fucked up
I swear I could see Atsushi being brutally nice to Akutagawa just to fuck with him.
Just to confuse him.
Just to make him question all things.
(He learned it from Dazai)
Higuchi: I sleep with a gun under my pillow. Gin: I sleep with a knife. Dazai: You two are pathetic. Gin: Oh, yeah? What do you sleep with? Dazai: Chuuya
