23 years old. eastern europe. gopnik. ardent lover of transsexualism, blasphemy, violence, women, 20th century literature, anime, and folk punk. i WILL bark for you. i go on TANGENTS in the tags. NOT a boob or an ass man. ever since my young and tender age i have been plagued with otherworldly visions that manifest in a vehement and unrepetant urge to conjure up stories involving homosexuals. yes, i AM a poet. kilgore trout + rodion romanovich raskolnikov kin. pikachu idolizer. helplessly in love with noé archiviste. involved in psychological warfare with my family since 2014. i’m slowly turning into an anime blog (bsd, vnc, jjk mostly. but every once in a while i like to throw in a little surprise 😜) (akutagawa apologist. whatever he did, he had every right and i support him wholeheartedly.) he/him but any pronouns r ok

i love looking too deeply into joke characters. it’s like a court jester jingled onto the stage and started performing and i stood up in my seat and wailed audibly
I’ve been trying and failing for so long to cohesivley articulate my Azure King + Kunikida thoughts to the point where there is going to be an incompetent mess but i really do think that the entire incident–King and Apostole were like, the Defining moment for who Kunikida was, is and will be.
His character revolves so strongly around the Azure Incidents because its his fixed point in time, his two mini Dazai-Oda moments. Thinking about how his two Light Novels Magnificent Days and Dazai’s Entrance Exam were focused on the before and after of the Azure King’s death. The tone shift from the gentle, domestic Magnificent Days to Entrance Exam feels so daunting because you can almost sense how neurotic and hurt Kunikida is over even accidentally getting people killed. Its that loss of control that made him so stiff.
How Kunikida can’t even wear blue because of it. How Sasaki still haunts him years down the line. How the anime made it a deliberate choice to have the Azure King looking similar to Kunikida. Red string of fate except it’s the blue of corpses. “Traitor to their country”

im going berserk over this official art. i think i’ve stared at it for straight 20 minutes now
people need to accept that some gay/lgbt people are terrible and some gay/lgbt people are boring and it doesnt make them Actually Straight or anything
big pet peeve of mine is gay internet users talking about ellen degeneres and pete buttigieg and acting like they’re “basically straight” as if both these people aren’t literally married to someone of the same sex sleeping in the same bed with them and having gay sex with their gay spouses and as if ellen degeneres coming out wasn’t such a huge moment in the lesbian community and pop culture as a whole that the biggest lesbian website for decades after that was called afterellen like unfortunately being gay doesn’t make you immune to being friends with war criminals.

this unironically. i’m in a public policy program that hosts lots of activists and organizers as speakers, and one comment that sticks with me was “if you like every single person in your community, it isn’t big enough”. that’s the struggle of organizing, of intersectionality, of coalition-building, of getting shit done. it’s reality that even people with similar goals and identities are still going to disagree— often. and sometimes other queer people are boring, conservative, etc etc etc.
