Henry: I have a plan!

Richard: you always have a plan, bless you.

Francis: does this plan involve murder in any way?

Henry:......I no longer have a plan.

*Someone on reddit*: Skk is toxic and I don't understand why people ship them. IT'S OVERRATED and doesn't make sense

*Me*: here we go again 🍷 I was waiting for this post all week

Dear people, let's enjoy FICTIONAL things without criticising others for enjoying things you don't like or understand, it is NOT that serious 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Seriously, talk about things that you DO enjoy, that's more important. We do not want to constantly hear people bitch about things we like again and again with the same fucking arguments.

I have a feeling people won't shit about Skk so much if they weren't two guys----just sayin' 🤷🏻‍♀️ (infact Asagiri would have made it canon himself, like he was planning to with sskk)

Can we just stop hating on things? I am tired of the same discussions.

L: I love eating cake

Light: (what is he trying to say? Is he trying to see if my reaction to him liking cake means I am kira? Is he baiting me to posion him? I could poison all his food and blame it all on Matsuda if I want. He probably makes Watari taste all his food before he eats them)

L: Light, do you like cake?

Light: (is this a trick? Is he trying to make me think about cakes while he analyses my responses, to see if I am Kira or not? Does my answer prove I am innocent or guilty? He can't prove anything by my answer) Not much, Riyuzaki.

L: Kira doesn't like cakes, what a shame.

Light: how do you know?

L: you just said you don't like Cake much didn't you Light?

Light: (uhhh he got me! How did I slip up!) I am not Kira

L: yeah sure and I am not the best detective in the world

"Night has fallen, and morning will come too,"

Kenji said while gazing at the paddy field.

"Spring will arrive, and Autumn too. Everything is split in halves. The grass grows, trees wither, animals are born, and they die……when you live with the land, you slowly come to understand that nature is made up of halves. When something bad happens……when a storm or erosion happens, we feel like bad things will only continue. But in truth, the good and the bad, they are all part of nature……part of living. That’s how everyone in the village thinks."

"I do not understand,”

Akutagawa said, looking at the same scenery.

"So fortune and misfortune are equal halves? Do you want to say the same thing to my comrades who died in the slums?"

"That is why you’re the half that’s left, Akutagawa-san"

Kenji looked at Akutagawa.

"You survived. And with a very powerful Ability, too. Everybody passed on their good halves to you"

~Kafka Asagiri, Bungo Stray Dogs, BEAST.

The reason Bunny gets a shit load of hate despite him being the only one who is NOT an accomplice to murder is because of one simple thing:

His personality.

That is the reason we can't feel bad for him. We as a society have considered Homophobia and sexism one of the worst things you can ever do. Which is true.

Murder is justified in certain situations, especially when it's in a fictional universe/story, not saying Bunny's death was justified, but we can excuse murder----even the law excuses murder at times. It's something grey and understandable in certain situations. We have liked; even loved characters who have killed others simply because it is in a fictional story.

The reason we draw the line at Bunny's behaviour is because, Homophobia, Racism, Sexism/Misogyny as well other forms of discrimination are NEVER excusable. When someone says a slur, you can't excuse that by comparing them in terms of morality with other characters. In modern society, we don't accept slurs and derogatory remarks.

Maybe in the 90's and 2000's when the book was new and fresh, people might not have cared about Bunny's behaviour much, maybe they even sympathize with him and loved him, because it was a DIFFERENT TIME back then. We cannot tolerate things like that anymore and it makes people harder to sympathize with Bunny.

Other than all that, Bunny is annoying a lot of the time. He is not the loveable goof he thinks he is. He scams his friends. He is cocky and arrogant. He is dumb and condescending. He says the worst things at wrong times. He puts people down. He pokes fun at others weaknesses. And the more you see of him the worse he gets. Even to the point you wish he dies.......

And he does. It's in his death that Bunny is more humanized, as most people are, in death.

And it is SOOO frustrating because he is the sanest person in the entire class. The most normal and least indoctrinated in those beliefs.

Bunny Corcoran is a character I wanted to like. But he kept getting on my nerves and I found others more interesting than him. And after reading the book several times I can appreciate him more. Although I don't agree with so many theories about him being a "good" person.

Bunny doesn't need to be good. He doesn't need anyone defending him. He doesn't need excuses for his personality. He is annoying, sometimes endearing; he makes your blood boil and he's still gone too soon. His death is a tragedy. He wanted to live. Forever.

Bunny is Bunny

You love, you hate him, or you don't care about him

His existence is necessary for the story and it's time we don't fight about if he was an angel or the devil

He was a person. A deeply flawed, complex person. And we should appreciate him just for that.

(doing this again cuz it was fun)

*Atsushi and Akutagawa got called to Aya's school*

Teacher: Aya punched another student and broke his nose. Both of them fought.

Atsushi, anxious: SHE what? She never acts like that please believe me! I apologise for her actions

Akutagawa, looking at his watch and tapping his feet: do we have to pay damages?

Atsushi: this is not the time for that? Aya-chan, apologise!

Aya: I am not apologising! Daddy, that kid said you are a terrorist and dad is a criminal

Atsushi: no we are not

Akutagawa: we aren't?

Atsushi, gritting his teeth: you're not helping here

Teacher: it's okay...Aya and the kid can talk it out tomorrow and say sorry.

*they get home*

Aya: you're mean, I was defending you!

Atsushi: why am I the villain here. Why aren't you reprimanding her, Akutagawa?

*Akutagawa leans towards Aya and whispers in her ear*

Akutagawa: so who won the fight? Did you?

Atsushi: RYUUNOSUKE----

ENFJ: would you jump off a cliff if I did?

INTP: yes

INTJ: yes

ENFJ: don't ever jump off a cliff! Both of you!

INTP: I don't need provocation to jump off a cliff, life's not worth it anyways.

INTJ: If I am not jumping off a cliff, I am pushing you in, because you are annoying the fuck out of me.

ENFJ:....

ENFJ: guys are you okay? We can work out the issues together by being vulnerable with eachother!

INTJ: *to INTP* do you want me to push him?

INTP: Yes, please.

As a casual Gravity Falls fan, who hasn't seen more than the og series, some comics and fanart, and who knows nothing about The Book Of Bill; my feed is filled with Billford fanart and stuff------I have no idea what's happening in that fandom, but I am really concerned for you guys, are you okay?

Me: Have care how to speak about them, Akutagawa, Chuuya and Dazai are my children

Someone: They killed 80 people in two days

Me: they're adopted

*Akutagawa tying Aya's hair*

Aya: Ahhh are you trying to kill me? You can't even make pig tails?

Akutagawa: if you complain too much I'll use rashomon to tie it up

Aya: HEY that's not fair!

*noise and smoke from the kitchen*

Akutagawa, rolling his eyes: jinko I thought you could cook

Atsushi: uh yeah I can cook basic things. Your kitchen is too advanced for me!

Aya: I don't want to eat burned toast again papa

Atsushi: I know honey, I'll make sure it's only slightly burned

Akutagawa: now did you do your homework?

Aya: what homework?

Atsushi: what homework?

*Akutagawa making a science project and Atsushi writing essays*

Aya: are you sure you two can do this? You haven't been to school before

Akutagawa: I am smart enough to do it unlike a certain weretiger---

Atsushi: oh you SHUT UP--

(shhhh BSD is about two rivals raising a little girl together like it's buddy daddies)
