it turns out there’s a sixth love language

for those who saved their loves, and those who didn’t.

words by caitlyn siehl, ‘start here’

[images are two stylized paintings with similar compositions. the first is a portrait of wei wuxian as the yiling patriarch, backlit with an eerie red glow, one exhausted eye visible as he plays his ghost flute; in the shadows under him, wei wuxian and lan wangji sit together in an isolated patch of grass, leaning together affectionately. text overlaid reads, “when is a monster not a monster?

the second is a portrait of jin guangyao, his face featureless but for his manic, dimpled smile, backlit in an ominous dark gold; he is flexing his fingers and golden threads trail off them as would a puppeteer’s strings. in the shadows underneath him, lan xichen kneels in profile, entirely alone. text overlaid reads, “oh, when you love it.”]

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

when people talk about some deep shit dazai has said they always bring up the “do you really think there’s any value in the act of living” line but they never bring up

Do your best, Alba. 

It was fun.
