Probably would be more logical to make a new blog instead of just completely overhauling my og one, but I can't be arsed to come up with a new but same way to say my username
Imagine you are Akutagawa. You wake up a blank slate- knowing simply your name and your purpose: protect the princess. Protect the commoners. Those are your only thoughts. Your only duty.
And so you do.
You must slay the evil that threatens the princess. Slaughter it so that it never darkens her doorstep again. Destroy it so that no commoner must fear again. But what you find is not simply the evil, but someone else. He seems to recognize you, but you cannot. He calls to you, afraid- you don't listen. Who is he?
No matter. He is a commoner, which means he must be protected. That is all there is to it. All that matters is destroying the evil in front of you. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is your duty as a knight.
You clash with the evil, a blur of blades and power and sparks. You fight to protect and to serve and to succeed.
And then you fall. You don't quite know how, but you fall nonetheless. You are prone and bleeding and hurt. You are lifted into the air, pain and anger and the voices: Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. But you cannot move. You cannot fight. You accept your fate as a knight should. That is all you can do.
A weight crashes into you, heavy and deliberate. You feel yourself fall again, but this time it's different. Because you see him. Arms outstretched. Arm. Arm outstretched. He saved you- protected you. He let himself hurt for you. Die for you. Why? Why would he do this? Who is he? What is he? Why?
Why?
Why?
"Consider us even. Away with you..." he smiles at you, turning to light. "...you fool."
And you remember.
And you remember.
And you scream because that is your partner, your other half, your fool. The man you found enough to hurt for. To die for. To protect because he is Atsushi Nakajima and that was reason enough.
And you remember.
And you scream.
šāØ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ā¤ļøāš©¹
Hi, my name is Mosab , and Iām from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today Iām sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasnāt been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from usā25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love⦠all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far
When I first reached out, I couldnāt have imagined weād make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, weāre reminded of how much weāve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Hereās what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
š Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
š¢ Loss: The absence of the 25 family members weāve lost is a pain we carry every moment.
š Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, itās a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ā¤ļø
Canāt donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isnāt just about helping us meet our goalāitās about reminding us that weāre not alone in this fight. Itās about hope. Itās about survival. And itās about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, Iām endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude,
Mosab and Family ā¤ļø
Pulls out my wlwarhead and yurifies your yaoi
Theyre kinda fugly cause I did em during class but eh
Also fem!chuuya is a futch because I said so /lh
Realized that me not being able to draw doesn't mean there has to be a drought on my blog and I have the #vip-yaps tag for a reason!!
(Also here's a list of characters I didn't include bc I don't care/know enough about them to think abt this for them: Kajii, Karma, Ace, Katai, Ivan, Agatha Christie, all extra SB characters, all extra Gaiden characters. If I didn't include anyone else arguably significant, assume cishetness)
Atsushi
Bisexual mess bc that is fandom consensus and I agree. Cis man.
Dazai
If Atsushi is a bi mess, Dazai is a bi house fire. Also he's demiromantic I think the idea of him being very flirty but actually rarely feeling genuine romantic attraction is an interesting parallel to how outwardly he's just a silly dramatic goober but deep down he's kind of emotionally numb.
Also for me his gender is in this weird spsce of like, I can see him being pretty much any gender. For simpleness I tend to just interpret him as a cis man but I do also really like genderfluid and bigender dazai.
Kunikida
I think he's aroace, leaning to the repulsed/dislike end of the spectrum for both. He's probably well read on queer theory and is aware of the aroace spectrum and he knows a lot of labels (he loves leanring all the hyperspecific labels and terms and shi) but also he's probably had the very amatonormative ideal of like, marrying someone and having a nice little family for a long time so he's still in denial kind of. Also cis man.
Building off these hcs I really like Kunikidazai as a qpr they give me qpr energy
Ranpo
Gay gay homosexual gay /ref. Probably is unlabelled cause he doesnt rlly gaf but he's just homosexual. Also demisexual and demiromantic. And a cis man.
Yosano
Contrary to popular belief, I do not think she's lesbian. But I do think she's primarily a woman enjoyer so bisexual homoromantic. Cis woman.
Junichiro
Transss mann I saw one person say his undershirt looks like a binder and I was SOLD. Also icl he seems straight to me š
Naomi
Another bisexual LMAO what can I say, they're everywhere. Also I lean towards afab demigirl (she/they) but I do like mtf Naomi.
Kyouka
Getting big non-binary energy from this one, maybe genderfae? (All non-masc pronouns and neos(snow/snowself/bun/bunself). Bun is also aceflux and generally under the bisexual umbrella.
Kenji
Whats gender? Can he eat it? Lowk gives me gender apathetic vibes but I hc him as cis. Also he's pansexual, indiscriminate attraction on all levels.
Fukuzawa
Heteroflexible (bisexual with preference for opposite gender) and cis.
Chuuya
Bisexual, I can see him being gay but also him and Dazai give me so much bi4bi energy. Also I think he's a cis man but I do love t4t soukoku.
Akutagawa
Gayyy I cannot see him being attracted to a woman/fem-leaning in any universe. Idc if its cause he's aroace or just gay he has never felt a fem's touch and he'd like to keep it that way please and thank you.
Also I this he's cis, he's quite androgynous but i feel like its less bc of genderqueerness and more bc he's in an alternative culture (goth).
Tachihara
Gynesexual (attraction to feminity). When he was still identifiying as straight he cracked a joke abt femboys and it led to a mild crisis and amusing realization. He identifies as bisexual now.
Higuchi
Androsexual (attraction to masculinity). Her and tachihara are on two sides of the same coin, especially when it comes to Gin. Higuchi and Tachihara have a mild crush on Gin, but are both especially attracted to specifically her work and civilian persona respectively.)
Gin
Speaking of Gin, I actually think she's a cis woman, if only because its amusing; Akutagawa's siblings, cis folks serving androgynous gender envy since 2012. Also she's panromantic sex neutral asexual
Mori
Aroace, because I love the idea of someone who wants to be a parent sooooo badly but really couldn't give a flying fuck about any of the stuff that people tend to expect precede having children. He wishes he could grow a baby with his genes in a lab or something because he doesn't hate anyone enough to allow them to get involved with him like that. Also he's sex neutral, little to no romantic attraction at all and a cis man.
Koyou
Again, not lesbian surprisingly, but mostly because she canonically loved that guy in her backstory. I think she's biromantic homosexual. Also cis woman again but I can see her being transfem
Q
No particular sexuality headcannon, probably queer or aroacespec. Also definitely non-binary, or agender or something they have no gender in my head its never he or she its always 'they'. I also think they might use neos (void/voidself/stitch/stitchself/and others I'm not going to take the time to think of and type out).
Oda
Pansexual cis man
Fyodor
Guys gender apathetic Fyodor is so important to me I need you to understand (/lh). Like, he identifies as a cis man but he actually really doesn't give a shit. Bro hasn't realized that cis men identify as men because it genuinely feel right and not because it just happened to be the gender they were assigned at birth and they 'don't particularly mind it'. If you called him anything other than (he/him) he'd look at you funny but not bc it actually makes him uncomfortable more out of like confusion like "I look like a man right? How strange that that person does not think that I am a man."
Also he's aroacespec for sure in all my headcannons, but for canon compliance I lean towards no romantic attraction type aromantic, and aceflux/sex neutral asexual. Also gay. What little attraction he may experience is always homo imo.
If you asked him what he identifies as he'd say "A servant of the Lord."
Nikolai
When I didn't care about his character as much I always just defaulted to cis man but ngl I like him being genderfaun or gender apathetic or agender or something. Maybe leaning towards agender/gender apathetic cause he probably doesn't really gaf what pronouns are used for him. I think he'd like neopronouns a lot though because the idea is that they identify someone based on them as a specific individual rather than their gender and I think he'd like that.
Also aroacespec again lol but again its flexible I hc him as allo in some AUs. But in the BSD og universe I definitely hc him as specifically grayromantic and sex positive asexual. I think he struggles to tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction (not helped by the fact he has little experience in either). He thinks he's straight up aroace and delights in the idea that he is 'free' from attraction.
Sigma
Love me some intersex non-binary Sigma (they/them) . Also I specifically hc their physicality and voice is more masculine even though they present pretty androgynously bc I don't often see rep amab enby people who still present relatively masc.
I think they're acespec, either demisexual or sex neutral with no actual attraction. Also homoromantic homosexual.
Fukuchi
Wasn't quite sure whether I ought to put him in DoA or the Hunting Dogs but uh yeah I think think he's biromantic asexual. sex-repulsed too, I think he's not labelled he's just always found the idea of sex off-putting. Also cis man.
Jouno
Aromantic bisexual, masc pref. He's openly bisexual and I feel like he's always known he doesn't experience romantic attraction, and trying to force himself to pretend he does, either as an attempt to achieve deeper connection or to get 'suffering' from leading someone (not worth the effort in his experience btw) on has left a bad taste in his mouth regarding romance. Also cis man again.
Tecchou
Bisexual cis man
Teruko
Fem lesbian spotted. Comphet final boss, pioneer of the straight > bisexual > lesbian pipeline. Also gives me regina george hyperfem type energy. (Cis woman also)
Poe
Homoromantic sex neutral asexual. Also I don't feel strongly abt any gender hcs for him but I do like the idea of ftm Poe/
Louisa
Asexual femme lesbian, clocked it day one. To dispute me over this would be futile (/j).
Lucy
Heteroromantic bisexual cis woman.
Mark
That's a bisexual umbrella man if I've ever seen one. Maybe pan? Also again I don't feel strongly abt any gender hcs for him but I like the idea of him being trans bc he'll just have his top surgery scars out all the time and that's very coolio
Lovecraft
Aroace, not even sure if he has the neurobiological capacity to experience attraction like that. His gender is...its there? Maybe? He probably prefers just being referred to by his name but he really doesn't have it in him to think about this stuff.
Ango
Aroflux homosexual. I love romantic Odango as much as the next person but qpr Odango is also ouhhhhhhh. Also cis man
Mushitaro
Sex-repulsed asexual homoromantic
IM LOSING JT THIS HAS NO RIGHT BEING THIS ACCURATE
Love this OP's art btw their stuffbis so cool
Two kinds of people (this amuses me to the inexplicably large extent)
(left is Dazai right is Nikolai)
holy shit...no way...is that? BSD BAND AU CONTENT !??! explodes
Thinking of doing a series of little arts with each member of the DoA band in the AU as a Will Wood song because they are Will Wood adjacent to me (blame Fyolai for excreting neurodivergence and non-conformity all over their songwriting /aff)
Anywayyssss first installment in the series we have Fyodor as White Noise!
Reasons for picking this song:
The song is generally agreed to have themes of meaning, specifically feeling things are meaningless and finding meaning for yourself in inherently meaningless things
Some people interpret the song to also be how capitalism and consumer culture strips art of meaning or waters down what is considered art and why
The last verse gives me inexplicable Fyodor energy (" you fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel. Try to make room in your skull but it's full them. All of the things that you think about think about thinking. I know it's hard, but they're not who you are: They're white noise. ")
Bonus: As far as I'm aware, this is the only Will Wood song that uses cello, so. :3
I just found out recently that Will said the song is actually about suicide and depression...but also as the extension its about not being able to find meaning even in the things you create yourself so it still works.
If anyone cares enough to theorise I would love to hear it <3
š¬ Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You
Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,
When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, weāve now reached $12,837āa milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.
From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.
As many of you know, Iāve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. Itās in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.
But through your help, Iāve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.
ā21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighborās House Was Destroyedā A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.
ā22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruinsā This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.
Despite everything, weāre still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.
But things have only gotten harder.
The war has returned, more brutal than beforeāand for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.
Weāre trapped.
š We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. šØāš©āš§ Our family is forever changedāwe havenāt just lost people; weāve lost pieces of ourselves. š Basic needs go unmetāeven clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.
And yetā¦
Your support reminds us that weāre not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That weāre not completely alone in this.
Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: Youāre walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.
If youāve already donatedāthank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.
Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.
This isnāt just about reaching a fundraising goal. Itās about surviving war with dignity. Itās about believing in tomorrow. Itās about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.
Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. Youāve helped me find my voiceāand I will use it to keep hope alive.
Thereās something I need to sayāsomething thatās been on my heart for some time.
When I first began sharing our story, I didnāt know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.
If that happened, I am truly sorry.
Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fearāfear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.
Iām learning as I go. Iāve slowed down. Iām more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.
If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came fromāand I hope you can forgive me.
Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.
With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ā„ļø
Not british but this is really important @thetoker420 @bungostraydogs-nextgen @hartogtm + anyone who Ive forgotten and anyone who happens to see this
So firstly, I would like to say
FUCK U UK SUPREME COURT
YOU PIECES OF ABSITE FUCKING SHIT
WTF ARE YOU DOING
For those of you who donāt know what im talking about,
So basicallyĀ
you might not have heard of the UK Supreme Court decision stating that trans women are not women under the Equality act, which effectively sets the UK 50 years back in terms of queer progression. They stated that a woman is based on their biological sex, which rules out transgenderism in general.
This is a dire effect not just on trans women, but British women and queers. If you are a British citizen, please sign this petition to appeal this ruling and fight for equality, and if not, please share with others. Thank you.
And for those of you who arent British citizens,
You can still share this post
Please
Tag everyone you know
