In An Alternate Universe He's On The Front Cover Of Every 2000's Goth Magazine

I need your love. I'm a broken rose...

P.S. I used a picture from Pinterest as a reference

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

Born to write i love you under every art, fanfic and edit i like, forced to come up with an appropriate compliment

Sometimes I forget that Akutagawa's relationship with Dazai isn't THAT simple. While he may search for his approval, since he respects him, probably Aku dislikes him to some extent too. It's no just blind worshipping. And well, it's perfectly understandable.

VAMPIRE AKUTAGAWA SAVE ME…. SAVE ME AKUTAGAWA…

AHAHAHAHHSJADTKAGSHABAHWJQHAHAHQJWHQJ

AHAHAHAHAJAHSJAGAJAHSHQJHAJE

In a funnier timeline Atsushi and Tachihara would’ve had to keep and co parent that baby

its so funny to me that atsushis pic was in the newspaper like hes kinda locally famous

i mean im sure with teh shit yokohama sees tehy move on from one event to the other real quick, but its funny to imagine atsushi as some type of local celeb like he gets recognized on the street and shit

becuz akutagawa's face is plastered on local police stations all the time

and sskk r besties; like i know wan and anthology arent canon but i feel like them running into each other all the time pretty much is like akutagawas always there

anywho

so its so funny to imagine ppl being like 'whale hero guy hanging out with a MAFIOSO??'

and atsushi is like 'uhh thats not akutagawa the rabid dog of the mafia thats akutagawa the not-rabid-dog-of-the-mafia'

citizen: ...

atsushi: also we're not hanging out; i hate him, he hates me; id die for him, he'd die for me; sometimes we accidentally meet up and go shopping or take a walk and stuff like that. but we're not friends. like i think he's the coolest person ever but he's also a little bitch.

Remember i mentioned that the unnamed whaleshark scug had an iterator friend that was submerged underwater like a billion days ago in a tag?, this is she!! Her name acronym is DOTS and I think thats so cute for her. (I guess her alias is Drown ;;)

Obligatory sketch page under the break (+ more info on her???)

She was meant to be designed like her alt. Design, as a manta ray but slowly she turned more jellyfish-esque. Maybe I'll turn the draft into another iterator sometime.

Her structure is partially submerged underwater. Drown was built over a large water source. During construction, of which she was almost completed, perhaps due to an error, the legs of the structure collapsed. It caused her entire super-structure, her city and inhabitants above to plunge into the deep sea below. Those who survived were relocated to another city, and while attempts to rebuild/save her were discussed, no plans were ever detailed.

Some part of her still remains above water. She's still alive and does not rain as frequently as most iterators. Because parts of her are underwater, it does a decent job keeping most of her functions from overheating. However there are periods of time where she shuts off activity in some of her chambers to prevent from boiling the water around her. The area in her region is mostly foggy on account that her structure is not above the clouds, and while she may not always rain, she will produce some mist.

Drown is a veryyy late 1st gen iterator. Construction started maybe in early-mid 1st gen iterator era, but was dragged back and prolonged for various reasons (her location above/in water was inconvenient to build upon, for a time there were talks about relocating her entirely. Alongside the fact she started construction around the same time as Starless who was drafted upon ambitious goals and lofty expectations, and held more priority to completion). There had been great plans for her too, but the project was perhaps too big for the time it started in. Around when she collapsed (her almost completion) it would have already been around the mid 3rd gen era(around 30+ years or so).

Due to such a prolonged period of construction, there is definitely an amalgamation of old and new tech mashed within her. Which could explain why some things don't always function the way they're supposed to. The longer her construction dragged on, the less they cared about her... Even when her city was finally constructed, many of her inhabitants had moved in reluctantly. Her sight was already slightly impaired before her collapse but she never thought to ask for it to be repaired as that would just be another thing for them to throw into the melting pot, and she didn't need another reason to be scorned.

After her collapse, her vision is largely gone. She can perceive faint lights and shadows, but it mostly resembles that of heavy visual snow or static. Whaleshark scug brings her pearls and they accumulate in her can for a few cycles before she's able to start some of her functions again and read them.

There's probably a leviathan swimming around her structure...

Nightmare

Sorry, Edgeworth...
