Fake Ass Idgafer. I Saw You Gazing Off Into The Distance Like You Were Looking At Something Far Away,

Hiiiiii i hope u r doing well ummm i've got some questions if its not a bother soooooooo , is there a chapter or a scene ahead in the story that you r nervous about ( i dont know if someone has asked this question before ) and are we geetting any kousano in the future chapters ♡(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)♡

Hi!! Of course it's not a bother!

There are a few scenes I'm nervous about and one of them pertains to Dazai's backstory. Lately I've been outlining how it's going to be weaved into the story and as I was going through my notes it suddenly hit me that I've never written anything as tragic before, at least not to that degree. So I'm nervous about how the finished product will look like and the reaction.

And then there's the second thing, which is that there will eventually be content (as promised in the tags) that will cause the fic to have a change in content rating and that's definitely something I've never written before.

However, despite being nervous, I'm also looking forward to the challenge!

As for the kousano content, I'm sorry to say that there will only be breadcrumbs at best. I did toy with the idea of making it a tagged ship in the beginning, but once I planned out the story, it didn’t end up fitting the narrative.

Shamelessly stealing from OPLA (but of course, One Piece is one of THE pirate stories out there) but a song for your playlist: My Sails are Set by Aurora. Probably Chuuya pov!

Yeess! I love her songs and was actually looking into them for the playlist yet somehow I overlooked this amazing one?? Thank you!

Are Dazai and Chuuya the same age? If I understand correctly Chuuya is 18 (he said that when he was 13 he got that scar in chapter 10 and that it had been 5 years since then so 13 + 5 = 18). It was said in the first chapter that Dazai couldn't be older than he is, so the logical conclusion would be that Dazai is 18 as well? Is it true?

Yes it is! They’re around the same age but Chuuya is slightly older (similar to canon). However, he’s closer to being 19 now and will probably reach that age by the time the story ends. I considered aging them up considering I added canonically younger characters but these ages made the most sense when I got to Chuuya’s backstory and when I found out that pirates were usually in their early to mid 20s. Poe, Ranpo, and Yosano are older than skk by two or three years and Aku and Atsu are younger by one.

Ohhhhh political science? That’s so cool! I actually thought you were a literature major lol. To be honest, I was planning to choose it too, but after seeing my sister struggle with it—she’s majoring in it as well—I changed my mind. I was like, Nah bro, I’m not doing that ദ്ദി(ㅠ﹏ㅠ) But she’s really passionate about it, so at least that’s good for her. It is a really interesting major though.

Also, I hope you don’t overwork yourself—make sure to take breaks. Take care!

Literature was my first option! But after I discovered this field, I decided to go down this path instead.

Sending positive vibes to your sister because I know the struggle lol

I'm done for now though! I'll be sure to make the best of this break :D

Take care too <3!

hi!! I love your fic so much i cry about it /j. i have been desperately looking for pirate skk fics bc like- it’s pirate skk what’s not to love? i think i read yours in one sitting that’s how hooked it was amazing work!

sorry for asking this (in case you already answered) but do you have an update schedule?

cant wait for the next chapter!!!

Hi!! Tysm, I'm happy you found this fic <3!

Sorry to say that I currently don't have an uploading schedule 💔 I simply find gaps in my current schedule (when I'm not under a deadline or needed somewhere) and try to get as much work done with the story as I can. That's why most of my updates are posted around 3am lol

Although chapter 15 is about 60% complete, I haven't had time to work on it due to midterm season, but once it's over I'll have a bit more free time on my hands!

Hi! I wanted to ask if the implied/sexual assault tag for the tides pull us closer was for the early scenes in chapter 1 when the prison commander was blackmailing Chuuya, or if there’s more that will be covered later in the fic?

Hi!! So, later on, they will travel to...sketchy places and there might be some elements of that in there. However, I haven't planned out those parts in much detail yet, so I can't say for sure, just that there's a possibility.

Don't ever hesitate. Reblog this. This should be in the tumblr laws. When you see it, REBLOG IT.

Hello honeybumi!

How much of the story have we covered so far? Like are we somewhere in the first half, second half etc

Waiting for the next update like my life depends on it❤️

Hello!!

We are about a third of the way into the story! So we're basically entering the second act now that Ango is officially forming part of the cast and there's a LOT to cover in this part. The first part focused on Chuuya getting himself integrated with the happenings of the crew and now that Ango is here we're finally getting some answers!!

the absolute struggle of knowing the exact plot of your fic, what the characters facial expressions will look like, what sounds will happen, the emotions, the lighting, everything….

except it’s all playing as a movie in your head and you can’t articulate any of it.

I'm using your askbox to attempt to gently bully you into sharing the art you made of your own AU because it was cute and I want more people to see it also 👀

Ah 🙈 maybe one day I’ll make it public!!

I doodle when I get writer’s block to get back in the zone so maybe I’ll post some of those!
