Iām MyOwnMeadow, or just Meadow for short. I also have an Ao3 account under the same name. As of writing this, I really only have one fic that Iām working on, which is my very own linksmeet! Itās currently on hiatus so I can get a bit of a backlog built up, though.
And thatās it for now! I currently talk a fair amount about LoZ things, but I finally got around to finishing the Dungeon Meshi manga and oh boy do I LOVE it. Iām currently thinking of a crossover where Hyrule is a continent thatās one massive dungeon in the world of Dungeon Meshi, expect some posts about that in the near future. :) [Edit: this didnāt happen but I will circle back to thisā¦ hmmmā¦ ideas, ideasā¦]
Edit as of 2026: My little sister finally got me to watch Bungou Stray Dogs and itās officially my second favorite TV show of all time, right after Dungeon Meshi. And Ranpo is my favorite character of all time currently and is unlikely to ever leave my top five for the rest of my life.
I started writing a second fic centered around Ranpo that I fear that Iāll probably only work on between the hours of 3 and 6 AM for some reason involving genius derangement happens between those hours, so thatāll probably be even slower updating than my Linksmeet overall but I shall not abandon it.
Iām definitely gonna limit myself to one active long fic per fandom though. So that way Iāll actually 1) Have something to write when in a different phase, and 2) Will likely actually finish some longfics within my lifetime. Itās probably going to take a good third of my life for A Marching Chain but thatās mostly because of how much I have planned for that. Like. Nothing else even comes CLOSE to the amount of notes and ideas and freaking number of main characters that I have for that series. Itās insane. For me that is, as someone who is glacially slow at writing and sometimes seems allergic to notes until I start taking them, that is.

A ranpoe headcanon I like is that ranpo is the reason poes books are popular in Japan. Sure he was a big deal in the states but ranpo wonders through the mystery section of libraries and book stores and finds unsuspecting readers.
āOh that one was easy. The butler had a hidden passage in the floor boards. Childās play really. Try this instead *hands them Poes novels* only a genius like me could solve itā
Free PR Ranpo. People buy just to prove him wrong but obviously are stumped but canāt help but buy more
wait that's so cute?? i love that so much he would so do that can i adopt this headcanon now
dazai defining things or people he loves as what he is afraid to lose and he thinks, well, surely odasaku was the only person he would ever feel that way for again, but then there's a mission at the agency that goes haywire, just a tad further than his calculations, and he doesn't even register it at the time but mulling on it later he realizes he was so fucking afraid that something might happen and that someone might die, and that he'll lose themāthis new family he's been let into
hey genuine question what would you guys do if in the live-action zelda movie link is mute for almost all of it but then he has one (1) line and it's "well excUUUUUUUUuuuuuuUUUUUUse ME, PRINCESS"

Finally got Untold Origins and am reading it now. :)
Donāt you think that itās kinda crazy how Fukuzawa basically pushed 8th-grader syndrome onto Ranpo when you really think about it. Like. He saw Ranpoās internal torment and proscribed him Fantasy Land in a panic.
Itās just like Dazai in that WAN and that one Omake claiming that his bandages hold back a special power. XD
He was making this up on the fly. And Ranpo bought it. For twelve. years.
Like. I donāt think Iāve seen anyone discuss the implications of that. Thereās only one fic that I know of where everyone else knowing the truth before he did actually causes some conflict, or really any internal struggle of any kind.
We donāt see Ranpo getting angry at Fukuzawa or anyone else for this, and I really donāt think he would, but actually exploring his thought process there? He felt stupid.
What do you think he was thinking in that time between the Moby Dick crash and Dead Apple?
HELP the middleschool syndrome mentioned in wan?? šš youre right what the hell
ohhh i did see a fic where he thought the whole agency was hiding the fact from him because they thought it was funny and whatnot
ive always thought it was something ranpo, like, wanted to believe, and because he wanted to, he did, and so when he's forced to think, oh it's wrong and i was believing a lie all this time, i dont think he'd be mad, maybe upset because it's not really something he wants to admit... ok idk where i was going with this i need to think about it more but i do love like. i wonder if it'd make him all mopey and such or less confident in any way, in his abilities or maybe in just the fact he let himself believe such a lie
i just think he'd always known the truth since maybe the beginning or at least he put it together sometime later but he did that all subconsciously and kind of suppressed it because it was easier on him to believe otherwise
Yeahā¦ it was twelve years of cases and probably encountering others with abilities and also learning about Fukuzawaās ability which Fukuzawa did not know about until at least Yosano.
I think thatās one big reason he never gets mad about that: he shouldāve realized, the clues were all right there, he was just subconsciously ignoring them/bad-logic-ing his way around that conclusion. He was in deeply-rooted denial, denial that I think Yosano has tried to push him away from at some point, but he refused to listen.
Because he didnāt want it to be a lieā both his parents never telling him that heās different, and Fukuzawaās āwhite lieā that was 100% improvised and complete nonsense in hindsight.
ā¦
Also, do you perchance remember the name of that fic? š
BSD, but Truck-kun exists. It takes the main cast out one by one until everyone is in a random other anime and they have to work their way back home.
Ranpo ends up in MHA, Kyouka in Assassination Classroom, Yosano in Attack on Titan, Dazai in Death Note (he freely gives out his full name, but alas, No Longer Human makes him immune to the bookās effects), Atsushi in Dungeon Meshi (where All Men are Equal cannot reach him, by the way), etcā¦
is it also replacing the isekai-d members with ones from their new universe or is there just this huge gap where they used to be?
The idea of all the main characters of various animes justā¦ meeting up in BSD is hilarious, especially considering that this happens one-by-one and not all at once, so yes, they get replaced. XD
BSD, but itās a partial role-swap between Ranpo and Poe.
Partial because Poeās still the one who looses, but he has friends in the ADA to pick him back up. Meanwhile, Ranpoās much more alone, and becomes obsessed with Poe because heās the only person heās ever met whoās able to keep up, whoās able to get it.
ranpo being obsessed with anyone would quickly turn yandere I fear. poor poe
I was thinking along the same level as Poeās obsession with Ranpo, but just sans the competitive aspect. Maybe even keeping the jealousy honestly, with this Ranpo being lonely and jealous of Poeās job and friends who actually like him, people who hang out around him and donāt despise him.
But uh. Thinking about it moreā¦ especially with a Ranpo that never meets Fukuzawaā¦ yeah no. Poeās gonna struggle for time alone at the very least. He canāt even trap Ranpo in a book for very longā¦
Maybe he pushes Ranpo to make other friends, even if he finds everyone else āboring/stupidā (in reality, he finds them confusing and baffling and maybe he still sees people as monsters in this, monsters he just doesnāt understand, because Fukuzawa never told him that white lie).
Maybe it starts off as borderline-Yandere for the beginning of the second meeting, but then Poeās friends tell Ranpo off, and maybe Dazai pieces together some of the reason why Ranpo acts the way he does and diffuses the situation using that infoā via escalating it.
As in, he makes Ranpo reevaluate his entire worldview on the nature of humanity and other people. Just leaving him defensive and/or flabbergasted as Dazai skedaddles on out of there. I can see this Ranpo either liking Dazai, or being utterly terrified and confused by him, more so than most other people.
In other words, Poeās gonna be just fine, because he has the ADAā including the master manipulator Dazai (who would probably have a harder time manipulating Ranpo initially but figures him out eventually)ā at his side. :)
i wanna ramble a little!!!!! i think most people in the fandom misunderstand beast a lot because things were kinda unclear at first, but ever since the day i picked up dazai side b ln came out we can surely point some things out!
(it ended up longer than i thought so yeah yelling about beast and the day i picked up dazai and oda sakunosuke and dazai osamu and meaning and life and death.)
no, dazai did not search for every universe in the book to find one where oda is alive. no, dazai did not create any universe. he build it so oda can live in peace. he planned it for years, positioned his pieces in strategic locations and manipulated the move. that's why it's tragic: he couldn't afford to make any mistakes, it was his only chance. and he did not know any other reality. the only ace in his sleeve was the memory from original universe's dazai (the singularity).
in side b, dazai has a fleeting impulse to reach out to oda and tell him everything; all he wants is to have a drink with oda again just like old days, but he doesn't. well, after all his final goal is to commit suicide.
dazai believes, āThere's nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of sufferingā.
he has this need to over rationalize everything (im getting back to it later hold on), he wants meaning and purpose. and logically, finds the most perfect outcome, disregarding his own feelings. for him to die and for oda to live.
(so it's not like an universal law at all... but rather a poetic one? oh, the irony of it all!)
in b tdipud, dazai doesn't let oda see his face or hear his voice, and intentionally makes oda feel resentment toward him by troubling his devoir ā all to ensure that 1) oda doesn't ever become attached to him, and 2) he himself doesn't wish to prolong his meaningless life.
it's all settled from the beginning. dazai has a flair for the dramatic and wants a triumphant death at the end of a years-long plan.
yet it hurts in the end. it hurts when oda points a gun at him with cold eyes because even though all this is to be expected, feelings simply arenāt rational.
but the thing is, oda was inclined to believe him. it's only clear when you read the beast ln, but when dazai tells him everything, oda deems his own judgment flawed because he would have fallen for the port mafia boss's spiel. he is taken aback by how harsh his own voice sounds when he says, āDon't call me Odasaku.ā
His gaze was so serious that I almost instinctively believed his words. But coming from the legendary boss of the Port Mafia, deceiving a worthless detective like me was easier than breathing. I gripped my gun tightly again.
"It seems Iāll have to come up with another solution to save Akutagawa," I said. "That is, if I make it out of this bar alive."
"I would never intend to set a trap for you," the young man said.
Those words rang true as well. Damn it ā at this rate, I can't rely on my own judgment. It looks like Iād be better off just closing my eyes and firing if I want to stay alive.
[...]
āDonāt call me Odasaku.ā An unusually harsh voice escaped me. āI donāt like being called that by an enemy.ā
The young man seemed unable to breathe properly. His face contorted, and his gaze traced a meaningless shape in the air. He opened and closed his mouth. He was struggling with something unseen.
ok
well not ok
i saw someone say loooong ago that regarding tdipud side a dazai is clueless, so he genuinely becomes oda's friend and then later manages to move on. on the other hand, in side b dazai tries not to get attached because he doesn't want to face grief (even if differently) again, and since he doesn't move on, he kills himself. and i thought that was a somewhat shallow reasoning, since it overlooks how much of this is really about dazai's idealizations and just how far he would go if given the chance. but then!!!!!!!! then i was reminded of a very interesting scene of tdipud side a ln:
āAll the games up till this point have been to figure out how your skill works.ā Dazai smiles happily. āGenerally, the future you can see is only within five to six seconds, so if I wait for seven seconds or more after the last bet to open and switch my cards at the same time, you will not be able to see that future.ā
āSo, the games and the flow of conversation till now, were both according to your plan, you mean?ā
āHehe. Saying important things as a camouflage to get what you want. That is the basis of the negotiation technique.ā
I ask as I organize the cards, āWhich is camouflage of which?ā
once again, dazai's urgency for reason. he buries his true feelings beneath layers of ulterior motives and over-rationalization.
oda immediately calls it out by asking, āWhich is camouflage of which?ā
dazai could only open up and freely talk about his personal life under the rational pretext of a goal: figuring out how to overcome oda's skill (or rather, beat oda at poker).
likewise, in beast, dazai camouflaged this whole avoidant defense mechanism under the pretext of finally committing suicide, of letting his friend live after handling everything behind the scenes ā while he was actually avoiding facing his own feelings. (think of it as a cat that distances itself when it's about to die, lol.)
!! when dazai goes to confront mori at the climax of dark era, there is an important exchange between them:
āI told you ā I'm always thinking about the organization as a whole. [...] And right now, Sakunosuke Oda is risking his life to eliminate a troublesome, violent group. It's a win-win situation. So why are you so angry?ā
Dazai didn't say a word. That was just about the first time he'd ever been unable to articulate his feelings.
ā There's nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.
[...]
ā[...] You killed those kids to get Odasaku to fight Mimic's leader because he is the only one who can defeat him.ā
āMy answer is the same, Dazai. I will do anything for the benefit of the organization. Besides, we are the Port Mafia. We have always brought darkness, violence and cruelty to this city. Why is that a problem now?ā
Dazai knew. He knew Ougai's calculations, his mentality, and the rationale behind the plan. That was just the kind of organization the Port Mafia was. Logically speaking, Ougai was right and Dazai was wrong. But...
that's where the line is drawn between dazai and mori; and that's where dazai realizes oda is the contradiction and the exception and the very flaw to his entire line of reasoning ā to his entire philosophy about life and death and meaning.
and then:
āYou won't find it (a reason). [...] You should know that. Wheter you're on the side that takes lives or the side that saves them, nothing beyond your own expectations will happen. Nothing in this world can fill the hole that is your loneliness. You will wander the darkness for eternity.ā
ā Awaken me from this oxiding world of a dream.
That was when Dazai first realized: Sakunosuke Oda understood him much more than he'd ever imagined ā right up to his very heart, almost to the center of his mind. Dazai didn't realize until then that someone had known him so well.
(i find it intriguing how oda speaks about how nothing beyond dazai's expectations would ever appear before him, regardless of which side he is on, when throughout the whole tdipud narrative oda is constantly defying dazai's expectations. ā but that's a story for another day)
now, one of the greatest points about dazai's development in the ada is that he accepts not everything needs to make sense. of course, old habits die hard but he is deconstructing it.

Hello Linked Universe community. It is I, the namer of Greg. Iām so happy to see that Greg is such a spectacle in our fandom. I have come to spred the word of our new lizalfos friend, Larry
@creative-mage has named our new friend. I salute thee for your service to our community.
Ok. Who used the space-time to stab Atsushi in the head lightly? (And potentially possibly that one guy in the play based off the novel? Actually that one was probably faked in some way havenāt gotten all the way through yet and donāt remember the anime, but itās definitely a foreshadowing of some kindā¦)
Because the sword is usually purple, but it isnāt thenā¦
(If this does not apply to you, please boost so it reaches its target audience!)
This isnāt exactly the usual vibe of my blog, but I cannot let this slip by. It is likely by now you have seen that Nigel Farage, the previous MP for Clacton, head of the Reform UK party and general village idiot, has decided to step down as MP under reports of misconduct, so that he can run again as a show of power over the people of Clacton. He seems disgustingly confident that he will be voted in again with ease.
It is no secret that Nigel Farage is a racist, xenophobic, ableist piece of shit. This is the most attention seeking behaviour I have seen from a UK politician in years. None of the other parties have risen to it, understandably seeing it for the childish tantrum that it is.
In fact, no person has come to run against him in the election, but one.
Count Binface, a comedian in a crown of stainless steel. (See the picture above for him in all his glory)
People of Clacton, it is now up to you. You can chose either to let this man win his childish power trip, or you can chose to let his career end in a face off with a literal rubbish bin.
Please, Iām begging you, if you have a sense of justice or even just a sense of humour, do not let this man win. Do not let Reform UK take more from us than they already have.

ā§ Broken ribs suck.Ā You donāt just āwalk it off.ā Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries wonāt be doing heroic sprints.
ā§ Concussions arenāt instant naps.Ā Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but theyāre not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.
ā§ Blood loss is sneaky.Ā Itās not just about dramatic pools of blood. Itās dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.
ā§ Adrenaline lies.Ā Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fightās over. That āI didnāt realize I was bleeding until laterā trope? Very real.
ā§ Twisted ankles are brutal.Ā One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.
ā§ Burns linger.Ā Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, itās not just a cool scar later.
ā§ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm.Ā Characters canāt keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. Theyāre basically fighting one-armed until itās fixed.
ā§ Shock is a thing.Ā Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.
ā§ Stitches arenāt magic.Ā Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. Theyāre not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.
ā§ Scars tell stories.Ā Some fade, some donāt. Some stay sensitive forever. Donāt forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.
Adding to the concussion bit as someone who has had 5 separate concussions in my life:
Depending on the severity of a concussion, recovery can often take weeks to months of constant vigilance and care, and you can spend almost that entire recovery time feeling sick and dizzy every time you stand up or go for a short walk. Itās usually not quick and easy.
A second knock to the head (however small!) soon after receiving a concussion is likely to trigger whatās called āSecond Impact Syndromeā, which is mostly fatal. A character receiving Second Impact Syndrome will not walk away without permanent brain damage.
Within the later stages of recovery from a concussion, even just the tiniest knock to the head can put you back weeks of recovery time.
Though sleep immediately after a concussion should be monitored carefully, the myth that you shouldnāt sleep at all is wrong. Sleep is what actively fights concussions.
Sometimes, the symptoms of a concussion can take hours or days after the head bump to appear.
Hitting different areas of your head can lead to differing severity in the injury.
Concussions fucking suck, people. I will never not be annoyed when I see a character in a movie get smacked hard in the head and be fighting perfectly fine the next day.
