HAPPY PRIDE MONTH IT'S BEEN FIFTEEN MINUTES AND I ALREADY FEEL GAYER WOOO

I haven't complained here in a while so here we go

Yesterday I was chatting with an irl friend about my ocs, and like in the middle of the conversation I realised that I put so much effort in the story's main character's development that one of my favorite characters I've made is actually super shallow. Like he has a personality but it's so empty??? I've been mental breakdowning about this for almost 24 hours I feel like I betrayed him :((

the veez bird brainrot has consumed me

help

Sobbing uncontrollably this just saved my life

from where do you read the manga?

I know this is not what you asked for, but here’s a masterlist of bsd resources I’ve used over the past year. Because every time I join a new fandom I always think “oh, I sure wish there was an all-inclusive masterlist that explained in detail how the material is divided and where to access to it instead of having to dig in myself”. So, this is for you January 2022 Kyotag, and for anyone else who might find this useful! I trust posting this on Tumblr is safe, but please do not share this outside of Tumblr in any way; it’s not for me, it’s for all the people who care to share. Specifically, do not share this on Twitter in any way or form. I will unleash a wild pre-promise Akutagawa after you if you do.

BSD resources masterpost

Bungou Stray Dogs Story by Kafka Asagiri, art by Sango Harukawa. The original manga. Ongoing, monthly chapter release.

• MONTHLY CHAPTER FANTRANSLATIONS: translator 1, translator 2, translator 3 • Website 1: Official English translation of the manga up to volume 19 / chapter 83 (including all the extra volume contents and omakes) and fantranslations from chapter 84 upwards. It’s my favorite streaming platform for the manga as it grants easy access and download to most of the official translation (the quality is not very high in my opinion, 900×1350px per page, but it looks like that’s as good as it gets). There’s purges of adds on certain days for some reason, but overall it’s manageable. • Website 2: Official translation up to volume 20 (chapter 88), fantranslations after that. • Website 3: Official translation up to volume 22 (chapter 99), yet lacks all the additional volumes content (and thus the first page of every volume since it’s in colour). Includes the manga in Japanese (and what looks like a French fantranslation up to chapter 45), so it’s useful if you need to quickly check the original. Denies download of the pages, and features a watermark. • Website 4: All the chapters fantraslated. Recommending it because it’s always nice to read a different translations (and endearing too, at times. You wouldn’t want to miss “Dazai Osamu – Ability: Human Failure”), and because it’s for some reason the only website my university’s wi-fi gives me allows me the access to, so shout-out to it. • Website 5: Raws from chapter 79 up to date. Better image quality (1164×1618px) compared to the official manga English release.

I cried on my birthday again.

It was expected. It's been a few years since I've last had a happy, tearless birthday.

I've had happy birthday parties, get togethers with wonderful and hilarious gifts I will always be thankful for. But in the end, I always go to bed, and cry on my birthday.

I don't dislike getting older. There has always been this thrill, what will happen next? Is this the year everything changes? This time, will I truly become something else?

But the thrill tones down. Another month turns into another year, and you forget what it felt like to be seventeen. There's this odd comfort to it. Maybe, this year, nothing will change, and I will stay the person I am, and that doesn't feel so bad.

Sometimes though, it turns into fear. The older I get, the more likely I am to lose the things that matter. I am terrified, so I cry, and hide in the arms of my mother because then I am her child, and it's okay to feel lost again, it's okay to feel the size of the world around me.

Age is a thing so big, while I still feel so small. So unprepared, and a little unsure of where to go next.

So maybe, just in my head, I'll stay eighteen for a while longer. Maybe if I'm not ready, and I don't feel like today is the right day to get older, and I still can't quite let go of that scared, fragile part of me that still has so many things to learn about living as an adult, maybe it's okay. Maybe I'll just keep crying on my birthday.

And maybe one day, I'll have it just a little more figured out.

You know how sometimes you're sitting in class next to your crush and you can't focus on class? Well I was sitting next to a friend who was working on their computer and their wallpaper was that one BSD Bones ADA art and Dazai was visible by the edge of the window and I shit you not I was like

Omg so pretty look

He's so cute

His lil bolo tie flying

Look at him go

Silly little man with his silly little smile

Aw his hair is all fluffy look!!!!!

And I couldn't focus for the life of me but I wasn't gonna ask the person to move the window it would be weird I just met them you know???? So I missed half the class somehow fjebbfe

never thought I'd be thirsting after a 500+ years old but here we are

So you know how significant others are a thing. And by that I mean, the phrase "significant other" is a thing.

Consider this : insignificant other. It could mean so many things!!! It could be as in "you're a pain and I'm stuck with you", or a phrase for complete strangers, literally anything!!!!!

I really like the first one there, because it's like being stuck with someone who genuinely annoys the shit out of you, but you still like them. Like, kicking your feet and blushing whenever you think about them, but the second they're around you, you're like fuck off I hate you. Idk I just like this dynamic so much it makes my brain pop jejzjfje

Silly little poster practice :)!
