The animators really said “we're going to make up for Atsushi's disastrous haircut by making him the most beautiful man ever existed” and they were right
I wrote a 1,800-word one-off based on a post I made a while back questioning what would happen if Fyodor took over Chuuya. So, if you’re interested, check it out.
replacement suggestion for people who want the drama of Arahabaki being a voice in Chuuya's head that yearns for destruction and stuff (since canonically it has no thoughts or will of its own and is just raw power):
Picture our Nakahara "I do everything for my friends" Chuuya, Nakahara "with great power comes great responsibility" Chuuya, Nakahara "if I compartimentalize my trauma it can't hurt me" Chuuya.
Picture our guy so raw from using Corruption, or maybe not dealing as well as he thinks with his trauma, or maybe just really tired, or any moment of weakness where you'd want the Arahabaki whispers to kick in.
In those moments of weakness, the Bad Feelings get a hold of him: self-doubt, despair, anger, loneliness. It's so unusual for him to dwell on those things it might as well sound like someone else is feeding him those thoughts. Maybe it adds another layer of frustration. Maybe it does make him want to blow everything up, just to let off some of those feelings.
And maybe in that already bad state of mind, intrusive thoughts enter the field. Things he doesn't really want and things he would never do. Things that make him uncomfortable, things that scare him. He would be able to bring down the Port Mafia. He could kill all those random civilians. He could run away. He already has black holes at the tip of his fingers, he could just destroy everything and leave nothing behind.
And between the very real (but enhanced, put at the forefront) bad feelings and the persistant intrusive thoughts, things might get jumbled in his head. If missing departed friends is real, maybe wanting to get rid of those left is, too. If he's angry at how unfair things have been for him and his loved ones, blowing everything up might be a legitimate reaction. Maybe it really is what he wants? Perhaps that little voice, no matter how scary, is right?
In short: replace "Arahabaki" with "Chuuya's subconscious", for better and for worse. Not to quote Dazai, but: let Chuuya suffer as a human being. Let his struggles be tragically mundane and common.
(and for comfort there's nothing like bringing other people in for a reality check and ground him again)
Our goal was survival, but now survival defines our existence! 🇵🇸🍉
We are living in extremely harsh conditions, where our tent has been severely damaged and no longer provides the necessary protection.
The cost of building a new tent right now is about 1000 euros, and it is an essential shelter for our family, which is suffering from difficult living conditions.
We also face a severe shortage of food, especially basic items like flour, which has now reached 100 euros. Securing daily food would help improve these conditions.
My brother Samer is suffering from the absence of essential medications for stabilizing his health, and their cost is extremely high.

Me to the internet: How to get over depression
The internet: Results for "How to get over ex girlfriend" pending...
Me: ...that works too.
Guys I just heard there was a temporary ceasefire in Palestine. Small victories.
The girlsss (and the winged lion)
I think this two forms are my favorite so far in the series. Falin is just a chicken... and Marcille is a fashion icon!! I do not know how to draw a lion nor a chicken tho so both was quite hard to draw...
What if...instead of Creepypasta....Helperpasta. You know, instead of hurting or dare I say killing humans, there were stories people and creatures that helped people. Like a short story of an angel helping a human get over their depression instead of a short story of a creepy clown torturing children.
But my main point is...what if there was a force of "good" that were dragging down the kill rates of all the Creepypasta? Then there would be a war. An incredible war of "good" and "evil". Maybe even the reverse version of some of the Creepypasta. Like instead of Jeff the Killer he would be Jeff the Helper. You get the idea. I want someone to make something like this and I want the internet to go to war with each other over it.

Please support this campaign for Gaza's children and elderly! It's spearheaded by a father in Gaza who works hard on distributing aid within his camp. Getting a supply of diapers is especially critical because they're costing $65-$75 per pack and so parents are resorting to makeshift cloth diapers that are giving their babies rashes.
