this is pEAK two gremlins in fancy clothing vibes slkdfjklsdf - for context (x)

and like don't get me wrong i mean that in the most 'i love them' kind of way sldkjfkljsdf like u have two genius researchers who happen to have a little chaotic streak amongst their otherwise calm and straightforward demeanor?

and don't get me STARTED on the philosophical discussions, tell me they don't just sit around lightly debating for hours on end about anything and everything. alhaitham prefers it 1000% to any work-related anything, he writes off his time as 'international relations and foreign studies', while albedo appreciates someone who has zero qualms debating him on even the most ostensibly taboo topics

i think that's probably what they get the most of, from each other - the rational approach to most topics? not that they can't be emotional, but i think they feel they can take a similar approach to discussions without worrying about all the requisite niceties and emotional regulation, there's a sense of 'ah, this is someone i don't have to expend energy to "fit in" around'

i think albedo finds alhaitham intriguing and appreciates a unique point of view on his work and generally, while alhaitham views albedo as a strange but amenable person (yeah ur one to talk haitham lmao) with whom he enjoys spending time. they can totally pass time in silence too, each doing their respective activities without any need for chatting if that's the vibe of the day

i get the sense too that alhaitham would willingly offer akademiya resources without prompting to assist with albedo's research? again, under the pretense of international relations/foreign studies or something, but i just think he finds the process of research interesting when it's something (or someone) he's interested in, and albedo would mention something offhand and alhaitham would be like 'oh i can help with that' and just, next day without any warning the equipment or resources or whatever would be at albedo's doorstep (cave-step?? lmao)

anyway i think they're two of a kind and they vibe really well together both in casual and academic contexts lmao

[2/3] And, despite Akutagawa's power being stated as "the power to manipulate clothing", he's only ever seen using this particular coat (which is already symbolic to hell and back). So, wouldn't it be cool if by the end of BSD Akutagawa either stopped relying on the coat altogether or started also using other clothing items for fighting?

[3/3] Or, say, an enemy takes away the coat, but Aku's like "HAH surprise cravat knife!"-- okay, okay, just kidding here :D Anyway, ditching the coat as a metaphor for finally letting go of Dazai.

Hello fellow Aku fan! I’m glad you’ve liked my metas. 

Yes, you’re likely right about the coat! Others have written about this here. And so, yes, I would like to see him ditch the coat. The symbolism stretches beyond letting go of Dazai and into what letting go of what Dazai means to Akutagawa. 

On the one hand, Dazai offered Akutagawa a chance to live and a purpose. On the other hand, that was through killing, taking others’ lives. Dazai told Akutagawa he was worth nothing, even staged a mock execution (that was only sort of a mock one) to force Akutagawa to increase his fighting skills, unless he could kill. 

lmao, well I wouldn’t say it was inherently inspired by anything. It was a while back in the sf discord I’m in, like march of last year, I tossed in the au idea that everyone in addison apartments was a monster save for sal and his dad. Granted, nothing in this au is like totally set in stone, with added ideas from the discord group and y’all here, it expanded to some people outside of the apartments possibly being monsters to (maybe even sal being the gorgon in this au after all?)But anyway, as far as larry’s concerned, if you guys haven’t noticed I just really like werewolves. Anyone who knows me or has followed me a long time can tell ya lmao. I have werewolf oc’s and even a werewolf au with an oc of mine who canonically is a peach person. 

Pwease tell me that the second one is a Pop Team Epic reference.

is it the animu thing the kids like these days? 

OH MY FUCK I THOUGH Y’ALL HAD TOO I THOUGHT I’D LOST M’DAMN SELF WHAT

look. look. I’m not happy with this? Like this whole situation for a variety of reasons even though yay blog back even though why blog ever takened???? So this is a perfect time to announce that y’all can find me Hornying on twitter at demyrie okay? It’s a very fun group there and I’ll be hanging around being dirty and adult as i am wont to be.

!!!!!! SOZ MAN I haven’t checked on this blog inna couple days but hghfhHFSS You have... my interest 👀👀👀 finally another actually-cultured person who knows The Cat Lady bless you--- TwT 

But ooooohhh yeah man I can see it~!!! 👀 Bc the cultists are Absolutely probably Parasites if I’ve ever seen any lmfao, so that’s totally a situation where--I guess Rosenburg in this situation xD--would defs wanna pull those strings to get Larry back & taken ‘em all out~ and also Um yanno, keep Sal from becoming a Parasite himself on accident probably fhhjdhHJFJDFSNJ um;;; 

:D Thank you so much for humoring me!

From a Larry/Ash fic I’ve been trying to get done for who knows how long-

“But I started kind of… I didn’t know when it was going to happen, when she was finally going to call it quits, but every time I got to class and she wasn’t there yet, I’d think ‘Please don’t let it be today’.
