!! Since Evanescence is on the cards now, I’m going to definitely recommend “Lithium” by her from forever and a half ago!!!! 😄 it’s so strange to me that Dazai as a PIRATE refuses to drink and so clearly looks down upon opium, so I’ve got a horrible sinking feeling that there’s a horrific substance abuse history in his past 💔 in some form or the other. Still can’t tell if it’s directly related to him, or has something to do with Oda… aahhh I’m so excited to find out!! 💜
Ah we'll just have to wait and see...but you're right to think there's a linkage there.
the update was amazing!!!!!! your writing is genuinely so amazing,,, dazais slow realization is so fun to read about. i know you said you struggled with the chuuya laughing scene but it was really well written!!
are there any moments/chapters you’re really looking forward to writing next??
Thank you!! It's a short scene but I'm glad my work paid off!
As for your question...YES!! Where do I even begin?? There's this scene that's coming up that's been on my doc ever since I began planning out the story and I've been dying to get to!! Well, I say "coming up" but we wont get to it for a few more chapters. It's a skk scene and I'm excited because we get a change in scenery and it's important for their development but ahh I can't give too much away...
Do you, by any chance, have a pinterest board for the story? ♡´・ᴗ・`♡
Hi! I started working on one when I saw this in my inbox :D
There were only a few things I was able to pin, but I will continue to add more as the story progresses!
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.
I think about ur fic so much I literally dreamt about it
Ahh that's so cool!! I'm flattered! And lowkey jealous too lol I wish these two would haunt my dreams
This is so unbelievably stunning!! I love everything about it! Thank you so much for creating this and for being one of my readers 💕
Another romance cover-esque piece, this time inspired by @honeybumi's The Tides Pull Us Closer, a skk pirate AU!
textless version and reference cover under the cut
Cover inspiration from the 2006 French edition of Kinley MacGregor's A Pirate of Her Own (Pirate de mon coeur)
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.
sorry if you’ve already answered this question before but do you have a reference to what dazai and chuuyas outfits look like?? the update was amazing btw 🫶
Hi! Happy you enjoyed the update <3
I couldn't find an exact reference to what I have in mind but Chuuya's wardrobe is on the simpler side and looks something like this:
This, but with drawstrings to keep the chest area covered.
Dazai wears darker clothes and a dark leather coat (with like, an infinite amount of pockets lol):
This, except his collar is high enough to cover his bandages.
Additionally, how can I not bring up this beautiful artwork by @originalartblog, which shows off their outfits!
is the great honeybumi alive and well
I’m alive!! Not too sure about the second part but I’m working on it!
"you should be at the club" I should be working on my fanfic
Hi honey! Are you doing okay? You’ve been very quiet the past couple weeks! I hope you’re fine! xx
Hi! So sorry I’ve been away for a while…
Everything just came at me again (and then it just didn’t stop lol) so I couldn’t be as active on here. I’m hoping to be back soon tho!
Also, sorry for being so behind on my inbox. I appreciate all the asks and I promise I’ll get back to you guys!
<3
