Okay, So In The Traumerei Amizu Flashback, It's Implied That The Only People To Enter The Room Where

Chuuya had one hell of a year when he was sixteen. I mean, first he lost the Flags and found out he was used as an experiment and everything else that was Stormbringer then a within a few months after that the whole Dragon's Head fiasco happened, which was probably the second time he used Corruption. The dude could not catch a break.

Season 4 of Tower of God will be interesting as far as lore building goes. Because Baam's been told about his parents multiple times. Data Edahn specifically told him about V. Cha told him about Arlene. And while Data Edahn probably only knew early V, Cha would've known Arlene (or heard of her) during the Great War. Baam has an idea as to who his parents are. What kind of people they were. So, I'm wondering how much of his interactions with V is going to contradict/reinforce the image Baam has of them in his head.

Chapter 6 of Singularities is live!

He turned to the man next to Chuuya. Their faces would have been just as close had the man not been leaning away from him, his terrified expression amusing the bandaged brunet. “Such little faith my partner has in me.” He shot the man a wolfish grin. “I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced. Dazai, Osamu Dazai. And you are?”

Chuuya grabbed a fistful of his hair and forced him to turn back to him. “Don’t harass my subordinates.”

“I barely said anything!”

Chuuya released his hair, pushing Dazai away in the process. “I’m too tired for your bullshit, Dazai. Get lost.”

Dazai exaggerated a hurt expression. “But I have a present for you.”

Chuuya scoffed and picked up his drink. “I don’t want nothin’ from you.”

Dazai stole the drink from his hand and downed it. “Bleh, you need better taste in liquor. Let’s go.” He pulled on Chuuya’s arm, but the man didn’t move an inch. “Chuuya!”

“I said I’m not in the fucking mood, Dazai. So, you either tell me what you want or get lost.”

Dazai leaned over Chuuya again and in a dead serious voice said, “You’re really going to want to see this.”

“Potential.” Riko slammed Neil against the wall again and whirled on Kevin. Kevin stared back at him, white-faced and tense. “You said that goalkeeper had potential and then wrote him off as useless when I offered him to you...” - The Foxhole Court, Ch. 13.

Nathaniel was given to Ichirou as his private hitman after his skills as a marksman were revealed when the Moriyama tracked him and his mother down after they ran away.

Riko decided to surprise Kevin with matching “pets” after he found out the goalkeeper that Kevin was interested in had a twin.

When Nathaniel is ordered to join the Ravens for a year to cover for a series of hits, his smart mouth meets Andrew’s prickly attitude and things get interesting.

I'm sure someone's already done it, but I'd love to see a comic or something of Dazai quoting Genie's "Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space" while referring to Chuuya.

Unfortunately, I possess no drawing ability. So, free idea for anyone.

One thing I find hilarious in Tower of God is that our first real look at Zahard and V are so vastly different. They're both images from when they were younger (Zahard via his data doppelganger in s2e284 and V from Traumerei's flashback in s3e213). But like, this is their first full reveal side by side.

I know other images of Zahard do have him looking a lot better than this initial one, but like V's initial image is literally a thirst trap. Like, I'm ace, and even I can get why Arlene would be more attracted to V than Zahard. That race was kinda finished before it started if you get what I mean.

On another note, was it really necessary for that to be our first look at Baam’s father, SIU? Was it really?

Chapter 4 is up and chapter 5 will be out later this month. Enjoy!

Summary: During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.

Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.

Not that Dazai cares ... right?

Okay, this has been nagging at me since Season 3. I know having the first person the audience sees Fyodor kill be a slave kid named Karma is significant, but I'm not sure in what way. BSD has had a lot of throwaway characters, but they never put that much emphasis on one. Hell, Coffee Shop Dude has been seen multiple times and has ties to the main cast, and I don't think we even have a name for him. (Side note: according to the wiki, the waitress Dazai flirts with is named Belladonna. Puts a whole new meaning to "flirting with death.") But Karma gets a distinct look, full backstory, and a name even though you could've replaced him with a faceless grunt, and nothing about Fyodor and Ace's interaction would have changed.

It could've just been foreshadowing for Fyodor's actual ability. However, it seems a bit over the top to be that. Especially when the hint in Dead Apple is executed so well in such a short scene. Pluse, the writer and artist of BSD knows how to plant things in advance. The artist noted that Tachihara being a hunting dog is revealed in his clothing because he's the only one wearing the green that's on the hunting dogs uniform (in the manga) instead of the Mafia's red/black motif. And how long did that reveal take?

The random POV change to a throwaway character is just weird, too. As a writer and editor, it doesn't make any sense. There's no payoff. He's not tied to the main cast. It would've been more impactful to the audience if it were a character we already knew. And I doubt Fyodor cares or even remembers the kid.

I know that whole interaction was cooking something, but I don't know what, and it's bothering me.

Thank you for your time.

I understand that you can get burnt out from anything, but there's something ... hollow? about being burned out on what you love. Like, I get that I need to step away from writing sometimes. That I need this burnout period to recharge. But I hate the numbness that comes with it. How bloody unproductive I feel. I can't focus. I can't do anything. I feel like a tiger pacing the length of its cage up and down. Up and down. Over and over. I know there's a point where the bucket is empty, and you gotta let it refill before you can proactively use it, but I hate waiting around for that spark to come back to life. Ya know?

I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.
