Unironically I think we need just a more powerful DS again. Dual screens fuck. The amount of creativity and interactivity and cool UI that went into DS games is literally unmatched and like those things were tough as fuck too. Please hear my wish. I get that the switch is technically handheld and thus portable but also no it is not that thang is so delicate and lacks the sophistication of just being able to shut it at a moments notice to pause everything without having to hit a pause menu. Does anyone hear me. Hello. Pokémon ranger.
I do agree that it is generally not ok to expose people to graphic/traumatizing images without their consent
but damn it. if you are still willingly supporting an industry where standard practice in the treatment of sentient beings is so cruel, and the consequences for humans and the planet so terrible that you cannot even watch a few seconds of footage without getting traumatized….then you are one massive hypocrite
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

“Hello you’re through to the rare circumstances help centre branch of Jobs4U the only centre that deals with sufficiently rare and unusual circumstances among applicants, how can I assist you today?”
“I’m not sorry at all but I keep on telling the truth”
“Huh… Okay… Are you calling about a disability that prevents you from lying to your boss and thereby prevents you from acquiring or maintaining employment?”
“Yes, that’s exactly right”
“Well, not to worry. We here at Jobs4U believe that honesty really is the best policy. You’re among good company. What I’m going to ask you to do is fill in a request form that will specifically filter out jobs that require dishonesty. That way you can work with your disability rather than against it. Does that sound good?”
“Honestly that program in general sounds like it’s horseshit, but I think it’ll work just fine for me personally”
“Uh… Okay?”
“I feel as though you’ve understood my needs perfectly and don’t want to clarify myself further”
“Right… I… Would you mind waiting on hold for me while I confer with my colleague?”
“To be honest with you, I don’t feel up to waiting on hold right now. You should just send me that form because it sounds like it’s exactly what I’m after”
“I understand that. In the case that you want to fill out the form I’ve sent an email with the document attached to the address you have on file with us. In the case that you’re not after the form, please bear with me one moment”

“Hello, are you still on the line with me?”
“No, I hung up”
“Perfect. Okay, ma’am, I can see several openings in positions we believe you’d excel at. Let’s see… Ah, yes. There’s an interview for a position near you later this afternoon actually.”
“That sounds terrible. Don’t tell me what it’s for”
“You’ll be working with a partner guarding two doors… They’ll explain it to you in more detail during orientation.”
