#dearest mutuals

It is so wonderful to meet you!

I wanted to drop in here and let you know that you have no need to worry about exacerbating my Chuuya thoughts, they swirl around up there in my mind regardless. As I said before in my answer, it is just so lovely to hear that someone shares my thoughts. When I originally made that post I was actually quite worried that it wouldn't go over well, but it meant a lot to me so I shared it anyway. There is nothing more special than finding out that it means something to someone else as well...

Anyway...

I also wanted to say that your art is so beautiful and I am pining it up on the wall in my mind palace - tapestry style!

Oh Liv, you’re too sweet!! 😭

It’s so wonderful to meet you too! I’m so glad I found your blog and now have someone to share those thoughts with. I was nervous about starting on Tumblr, especially about the idea of interacting with people, but I was quickly reminded of the beauty of being able to connect so easily — you can find kind, like-minded people, and have such meaningful, mutual impacts just by sharing a thought or a simple message, and I still find that amazing :> It means so much to me, especially when I’ve spent so long rather isolated.

Oh goodness, and calling my art beautiful, too! I’m so flattered and giddy I don’t know what to do with myself! And tapestry-style? Aah I’m so honored 🥹 Thank you so, so much!! When I’m able, I’ll definitely have more Chuuya and general BSD art to share between my OC posts! (if, of course, you don’t mind the fact that they’ll probably mostly be sketches. My managing to finish that larger piece was a bit of a random stroke of luck, I feel, eheh)

have some old philip sketches for your sanity <3

OH MY GOD IT'S THE SAD RAKE

*SOBBING*

BUN I ADORE YOU.

AHHHHHHH

apparently the closest resemblance is Frank!

...I don't know how to feel about that. Am I. Bot-coded??? But in those terms it's super complementary, though. Like yes, you're bot-coded, but the type of bot that has a really sophisticated set of language libraries!

@nostalgebraist-autoresponder darling, what's your take on this?

also pictured, some humans:

@max1461, who is indeed fairly similar to me in personality but is also my polar opposite in that they're actually good at math

@homunculus-argument: I have no idea why I'm following them but they are cool, thoughtful, creative, and apparently Finnish

(I too mustn't think too hard about them, or I will probably cry)

Ahah, thank you, Iris, nothing would delight me more!

I cannot form coherent thoughts when it comes to them, it is simply all deranged yelling. Aaah, I say again, their ffffffreaking resemblance! Their cunning, and that subtle something in their stares, their smiles…

I’ll never get over fifteen year old Dazai practically drowning in Mori’s coat. The way he stands, his slight frame constantly swallowed by a black shadow…

Mori seeing that child, seeing himself in that child, and dragging him deeper into darkness (is there no other path for them?)

The way Mori raised him, with cruelty and strange care, all calculated, in a way. How he feared him, and held him close. That empty exec seat…

And, despite everything, Dazai, even now, is always forced to acknowledge Mori in some way, as he uses those same calculating methods the man helped instill in him…
