I LIVE FOR THIS OMGGG

there is something so special to me about fics where dazai is healing. where he's using a mobility aid instead of forcing himself to suffer the pain. where he's taking antidepressants. where he's limiting his drinking or not drinking at all. where he finds alternatives to self-destructive behaviors and tries to choose those instead. where he may relapse, but he has friends to help him now, and he lets them in. where he's not perfect, but he's trying. because he's never going to be perfect, and maybe he's never even going to "fully recover" but he's getting better, and at the end of the day, that's what really matters. no one expects him to be perfect; they're all happy to see him take even the smallest steps forwards

Happy Valentines Day!

I was still undecided on who to pick but my partner has had her heart set on FinxSebastion from the start. Blame her.

Bonus:

Hirotsu & fukuzawa besties>>>>

mori: this is top secret so don't tell anyone, especially from the agency, alliance be damned

hirotsu, awkwardly exiting out of his chat with fukuzawa where they were making fun of mori and he was telling fukuzawa about how mori was like in this particular meeting: of course sir, i would never

akutagawa, ending his call with atsushi, who he had been talking to when he got asked to come here and never bothered to hang up on <3: i understand. this is port mafia business strictly.

chuuya, still texting everything to his chuuya-kunikida-dazai groupchat (named dazai and his bitches until they stole his phone and changed it and is now untitled): sure thing boss

kajii, asleep: hmm lemon bombs

Shin soukoku

Akutagawa : I shall rip out your throat and celebrate your death but only if it is by my hands. If someone else kills you or even hurt you I shall rip them apart too

Atsushi: Only if you promise not to kill anyone for six months

Soukoku

Dazai : Let's do this.

Chuuya : Do what?

Dazai : Do crime Be gay

Chuuya : K

That's it. That's the difference. One is still in denial and the other is just...ignoring it for the time being

Yes

chuuya's my scruffy cat and i haven't drawn him in a while so here's soukoku being dumb

Living for catsushi. Imma draw those

Silly bsd stuff i would totally write about if i had the ability to put two sentences together:

Ada having a pet fish and having to keep atsushi away

Kenji bringing a cow in to the office and sharing with atsushi as everyone watches in horror

Atsushi playing with dazais bandages after they loosen up on his wrists

Kenji and atsushi making popcorn but instead of using a lid they try to catch the pieces with their mouth jumping around like crazy

Dazai being forced to do his own work coz atsushi started eating his papers

Atsushi knocking kunikidas journal off the table out of feline instinct and kunikida going off on dazai when he cant find it

Fukuzawa and atsushi going on walks together because he wants to feed cats and atsushi attracts them

Atsushi pulling akutagawa aside to confirm if goth people really do wear colorful socks under their boots

Atsushi and akutagawa having tea taste tests once in a while

Atsushi encouraging everyone to drink ceylon tea instead of coffee coz he's extra sensitive to coffe breath thanks to his ability

Dazai telling atsushi that naomi is an ability to fuck with him and atsushi playing along even though he can hear her heartbeat

Atsushi doing dazais paperwork on the days he smells soil on him knowing he was visiting oda

Lucy mostly knowing how to make sweet drinks because she knows atsushi likes them most

Atsushi making sushi for kyouka often after junichiro taught him how to roll a joint and he improvised

Chuuya thinking dazais kid is a fucking weirdo for walking around with the strangest contact lenses casually

Since October is super close now (I know, how spooky!!) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in another skk 31 day list, similar to one I made last year?

If anyone is interested in participating alongside me, I'll make a list!

Headcanon: Telemachus wears Odysseus’ clothes

I can’t stop thinking about this: I imagine Odysseus did not take notice during the songs “Odysseus” and “I can’t help but wonder” but Telemachus is 100% wearing his dads clothes in the songs in my opinion - at least the cape and stuff - to feel closer to him.

A day later, Ody finally takes a shower and goes to his closet to check out his wardrobe and finds it ransacked (like almost nothing is left that the clothes that are still present are only undergarments or oversized clothing). He asks his wife about it and she has no idea so Ody wears something a little big on him (he also definitely lost weight on his journey). During breakfast, in strolls Telemachus wearing his dads garments, belt, sword holding thing, jewelry and more, completely oblivious about the situation as both Penelope and Odysseus look at him in sudden realization. Odysseus does not speak about it as his son plops down next to him to start eating only to finally get what was going on.

He gets really embarrassed and wants to shoot up immediately to change and apologize but Ody shuts that down quickly by pushing his son back on his seat, puts his arm around his shoulder, smiles proudly and looks to his wife (who is hiding her laughing under her breath) and say that he will need a new wardrobe because a little owl kit has nicked his old one (or something like that). Telemachus, who is still embarrassed and red-faced hides his face in his dads hair, mumbling justifications but is told to relax and that it is fine and endearing and that Ody is actually happy that he could be there for his son at least in this way.
