Franziska Only Knows One Method Of Comforting And That’s Light Slapping.

in honour of twitter violently lowering itself into a pit of lava, i’ve started saving some of my favourite tweets from my twitter account in case it all goes down. i guess i’ll start posting them here on tumblr in chunks - the ace attorney ones go here, though i know i haven’t been all that active lately!

this is also a heads up that i’ve made a new general blog @corviiids for all the yammering that’s been on twitter up until now. if you’re INTERESTED in yammering, you’re very welcome to come over and follow me there too.

[“Akira, please,” he starts, and it almost sounds like he’s begging, he looks so, so scared– 

And Akira reaches inside himself and twists, and Akechi goes silent.] 

Some fanart I did for @futuresoon​ ‘s you’ve got me seeing through different eyes! Please check it out I love it a lot 😭😭😭

what's fuckin amazing about bungou stray dogs :

the whole plot and the abilities are all amazing and creative! i mean fuckin kajii's ability prevents him from being harmed by any lemon shaped bombs lol

the characters in bsd doesn't necessarily rely on their ability. kyoka can summon demon snow but she's still a trained assassin. yosano could fight even tho her ability is something more 'medical'. mori is fuckin terrifying with his scalpel even tho he has elise. fukuzawa's ability is not combat oriented but damn he could cut you up. dazai rely on his intelligence to fight. and there's so many more characters who is more than their abilities and i really really admire that

ofc there's someone like chuuya or akutagawa or atsushi who rely heavily with their ability but still they used their head in a fight

the amount of intelligence in bsd. like??? fuckin how?? and the thing is, bsd doesn't just say the character is a genius and left it at that, they show it to us so we can judge the intellect of the characters ourselves. they have a plan everytime they fight. not to mention dazai and fyodor flirting talking in their own code

there's fuckin psychological manipulation going on in the shadows. we can never know is the part here is just a coincidence or a plan made up by dazai? or maybe it's fyodor who made the move? or maybe mori? what if it's the guild? no wait a sec, what if it's natsume-sensei's plan all along? we will never know

i love the part where bsd clearly shows that information are superrrr important! the one who wins is the kne with the most reliable information and i just- *claps slowly*

im so sorry but i can't stop rambling about all this geniuses' plan i just live it so much omfg how are they so smart

atsushi as a mc is pretty pathetic. he had a low self esteem and he gave up quickly. BUT THAT'S FUCKIN IT!!! atsushi is abused at the orphanage, it bounds to leave a lifetime scar and bsd shows it. heck, he still hear the Principal's voice at the back of his head, he can still see the Principal's standing behind him and telling him he's worthless and that's so fuckin true. abused people often had the same problem. i can still hear my sister's voice telling me to die everytime i fail even tho it's been years. bsd show atsushi's struggle as a survivor and i love it

the cycle of abuse. i recently saw a fanart with mori and dazai walking beside him, practically drowning in darkness. below it is dazai and akutagawa walking together with the same vibe. and below it is akutagawa and kyouka. i- that fanart is so fuckin powerful and i think it represents some relationships in canon

odasaku's reason for not wanting to kill anyone. he literally stop killing bc he felt a murderer is not worthy to write about humans life. i- so simple yet so fuckin deep...

the backstories of every character. like yosano... yosano is so fuckin awesome

nakahara chuuya

everything didn't just suddenly become rainbows and sunshine. when atsushi said to form an alliance with port mafia, it didn't work out. i was a bit disappointed but it's so fuckin realistic. instead mori just sent chuuya so soukoku can take down the enemy. port mafia, add, the government, they all use one another to reach their goal.

nobody is the villain. there's no good vs evil. i mean like sure fyodor and dazai are demons, port mafia is literally the mafia, and kamui should really die at this point. but they all weren't the typical villains. they all have their own reasons to strive for what they believe in

also nobody is fuckin apologetic about their deeds. (well except a few characters like kyouka who didn't want to kill anymore). dazai turned towards the light but did he really regret everything he had done? both sides are the same to him. will mori ever changes his way? no way. fyodor? unlikely. akutagawa only promises not to kill anyone for 6 months but after that? god i love this manga

anyway, did you all see jono? fukuchi thought he will be a grest member for the decay of angels bc of his cruelty but sykes!!! jono actually thought it was nice helping ppl and he turn the tables!! it was such a plot twist....

no, actually the plot twist in bsd is so fuckin great i still get whiplash from it. like i still cannot move on from ango apparently being a triple spy or gogol being alive or fuckin tachihara omg or fukuchi being the leader heughhh im dizzy

just. bsd in general. read it.

also bsd wan i love you so much

wow

Which Hypmic character do you think is most likely to commit tax fraud? (for some reason i genuinely wanna see your answer to this question NDBWKJDHWKFLWFNBW)

When I mentioned this as an offhand comment elsewhere, I was definitely thinking Rei, but you know what? That's too easy. We can do better. Let's take a deep dive into Hypmic characters and their potential to commit tax fraud.

Ichirou - Ichirou would never knowingly commit tax fraud because he is a good boy at heart, but would he know to pay enterprise tax? Is Ichirou receiving cash under the table from the ol' grannies of Ikebukuro and not reporting it to the government? Does Yamada Odd Jobs even have a business license? This is doubtful, considering that Ichirou is breaking child labor laws by employing Saburou. (Children under the age of 15 cannot be employed for the kind of work the BBs do.) Unless Saburou is not listed as an employee, which means that Ichirou is either paying him off the record (tax fraud!) or not paying him at all (also illegal!). There's also some questionableness about him employing Jirou, as children under the age of 18 cannot be employed for anything that is dangerous or harmful, and any jobs involving rapping with the country's weapon of choice would certainly qualify as dangerous. This whole operation is a lawyer's nightmare. Like father, like son.

Jirou - Do you seriously think Jirou knows how to calculate and file taxes? Hoo baby. This is, of course, assuming that Ichirou (as his employer) doesn't do it for him and also assuming, of course, that Ichirou pays Jirou and pays taxes, both of which I'm not sure we can comfortably decide on our own.

Saburou - Saburou is one of the very few people in this list capable of filing taxes and simultaneously one of the even fewer people in this list capable of creating an offshore account in the Cayman Islands in which to hide his ill-gotten wealth.

Samatoki - Samatoki works for the Katen-gumi yakuza, an organized crime syndicate, but yet he doesn't smuggle weapons, doesn't deal drugs, doesn't extort the locals for money, doesn't act as a pimp for sex workers, doesn't own any casinos, and doesn't loanshark. In fact, he's made clear his disdain for almost all of the things on this list and beats up those who do happen to do the activities on this list. So what exactly does this gang do that's actually criminal? By process of elimination, it's probably tax fraud. They probably own a bunch of restaurants and other small businesses as fronts and just, like, pay half taxes on everything. Scandalous.

Juuto - I cannot look at Juuto and say with a straight face that he doesn't commit some kind of tax fraud.

Riou - He doesn't pay property tax on the land he camps on. I doubt he owns it, so this is less tax fraud and more being a squatter. Either way, illegal.

Ramuda - I don't think Ramuda has a legal government identity - or rather, he probably does, but it's shared with all the clones. This means that while another clone is owning his shop and business (and thus paying property tax, personal income tax, and enterprise tax), he and the other clones are still, presumably, eating food and thus all paying consumption tax. Ramuda's legal identity is therefore paying MORE taxes than anyone else. Does this count as negative fraud?

Gentarou - Assuming that Gentarou is not his legal name, Gentarou is apparently filing taxes under someone else's name which definitely counts.

Dice - Dice is a freeter, and so the matter of his income tax is left up to his various employers. I am positive that the Tobaris did not pay income tax for that smuggling operation he ran in FP/M+ chapters 1 - 4, meaning that Dice has once again unknowingly committed a crime.

Jakurai - Jakurai seems like the one person who would sincerely do all his taxes and, moreover, do them correctly.

Hifumi - Prior to the H Age, Hifumi was a good boy who filed all his taxes properly. Now that the local government office is overrun by women, Hifumi is too terrified to go file for a tax return, which can be necessary if an employee makes over 20,000,000 yen a year. I don't know how much Hifumi makes, but this isn't outside of the realm of possibility. Tax fraud! (Or he just makes Doppo do it. Or there's electronic filing. But shh.)

Doppo - I think his employers would just handle all his income tax by withholding it from his salary, as is standard. There might be some screwy-dewyness from the amount of overtime he works, but this is really on his employer, not him.

Sasara - He would do it only once, and never again, just to say "Tax fraud? More like I'm tax flawed, am I right?"

Roshou - Roshou might run into trouble as an employee of Rei, who is most certainly not filing taxes. This is kind of fraud by proxy.

Rei - Yeah.

Kuukou - As a priest, Kuukou may be exempt from paying income tax for activities that are "related to the purpose of the organization [of the Buddhist temple]" (page 167), but this necessitates that Kuukou has an income. Certainly, we've seen him buy things before, but... where does the money come from? Presumably, he has an allowance from his father or is actually paid by his father for whatever priestly duties he does (cleaning the temple...?), and so the question then becomes whether or not those activities count as religious (I'm going to hazard a guess that cleaning does not count) and whether or not his father handles the bookkeeping correctly, as I don't trust Kuukou to handle his own taxes.

Juushi - I bet he has Hitoya help him with his income taxes. He's a good kid who wouldn't mess it up on purpose.

Hitoya - Hitoya writes off both Kuukou and Juushi as dependents, which probably isn't legal as Juushi almost certainly makes more than 480,000 a year. It also isn't legal in the sense that they're not financially dependent on Hitoya, but his argument is that they're emotionally dependent on him, which should qualify him for an even larger deduction.

Final takeaway:

DON’T TOUCH ME I’M STERILE

I wish at the part in Death Note where L and Light have their tennis match and the teacher wants them to join the tennis team that he successfully convinced them and the whole story just abruptly pivoted to a sports manga

and one night shi qingxuan takes one of that bitter spiritual power candies and lies in bed… he doesn’t utter in his mind that password he and the earth master had chosen together out of a book of poetry for his private communication array because he thinks it will work, he utters it because if he knows it will not work… but it works

there is only silence on both sides, but the connection is open… if he speaks, black water will hear it… if black water speaks, he will hear it…

neither speaks, both know… both lie in their bed, on their back, rigid as sticks… the minutes pass

why doesn’t he kick me out of his communication array? shi qingxuan thinks

why did he reach for me? he xuan thinks

they are hopeful and they are terrified

an hour passes and it’s almost as if they were lying next to each other… and they know how it feels to lie next to each other

doesn’t he hate me? does he still care about me?

their hearts are agitated by a myriad of question

the hours pass and eventually shi qingxuan’s spiritual energy terminates… the exhaustion puts him to sleep, the shock keeps he xuan awake
