@omnivorousshipper As You Can See, Pancakes Are Circular Fluffy Disks Of Delicious Buttery Goodness,

Luke: What’s your blood type?

Deckard: How would I know?

Luke: How would you not?

Deckard: Who am I? Karl Landsteiner, discoverer of blood groups?

Luke: You don’t know your own blood type, but you know who discovered them?

Another emotional verse:

Tú eres la tristeza de mis ojos

Que lloran en silencio por tu amor

Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro

El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adiós

Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento

Pues, siempre estoy pensando en el ayer

Prefiero estar dormido que despierto

De tanto que me duele que no estés

Rough ranslation:

You are the sadness in my eyes

That cry in silence for your love

I look at the mirror and I see in my face

The time that I have suffered since your goodbye

I force my mind to forget you

Since I’m always thinking of yesterday

I prefer to be asleep than awake

As it feels too painful that you are gone

Small hurt-no-comfort headcanon I just thought of.

Bruce once accidentally stumbled upon Jason listening to Amor Eterno on Catherine Todd’s birthday. Jason was embarrassed to have been caught listening to such an emotional song, but Bruce reassured him it was perfectly okay and spent the day talking with Jason about Catherine.

Once, after Jason died, Bruce abruptly cut patrol short after overhearing someone playing Amor Eterno in their house.

Even now that Jason’s back, Bruce can’t hear the song without wanting to tear up and hide away from people to grieve alone.

Background below the cut

Background: Amor Eterno is a song written by Juan Gabriel (an icon) who wrote this song in honor of his mother, who had passed away.

One popular version of the song is sung by Rocío Dúrcal (also iconic). She is said to have sung the song in honor of her son, who had also passed away.

VERY rough translation of the chorus (to maintain the ideas rather than literal translation)

How I wish

That you were still living

That your dear eyes had never closed

And I was still looking at them

Eternal (and unforgettable) love

Sooner or later I’ll be with you

So that we can continue loving each other

Yeah, I still tear up every time I hear it but that doesn’t stop me from listening to it

“they tried to kill each other” yes and? do you have a problem with true love

Also note, these are only the stories caught by the media and/or on video.

mary h.how many bsd novels are there i thought it was just the agency aku one and the dazai one but theres more apparently?? how many different bsd spin offs are there i am so confused

OHHHH BOYS. BESTIE YOU ARE NOT READY. THERE ARE SO MANY. and i know this because i own every single novel that has an english release (i'm linking all the ones that do):

Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam - this is the one with the Azure Messenger, infamously adapted into the present day in the middle of season 1 when it's actually set 2 years in the past as Dazai's entrance exam into the ADA.

The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency - what the title says, currently being adapted in the beginning of season 4. The novel also includes a short story set the day before Atsushi's entrance exam about the ADA planning what his exam should be.

Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era - this is one of the Dazai ones, about his time in the mafia with Ango and Oda, adapted in the beginning of season 2.

Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen - another Dazai one, the one (poorly) adapted at the beginning of season 3, about how Chuuya joined the mafia. Has a currently ongoing manga adaptation.

Storm Bringer - sequel to Fifteen, longest of all the novels by far, set when Dazai and Chuuya are 16 and we find out more about Chuuya's origin story. And so much more, it really is a thicc novel.

55 Minutes - the second longest novel after Storm Bringer yet the least talked about (despite how much it elaborates on skill singularities and the nature of abilities). It's a self-contained story of the ADA going to solve a case on an artificial island off the coast of Yokohama, featuring two new ability users H. G. Wells and Jules Verne (hence a relatively sci-fi heavy novel and i wrote a 2k+ word essay analysing all the science behind it lmao)

Dead Apple - novelisation of the movie with some extra scenes and more elaboration on some details in the movie. Also has an ongoing manga adaptation with official english release.

BEAST - this is the Akutagawa in the ADA and Atsushi in the PM one, with a completed manga adaptation (also released in english) as well as a live-action movie that came out last year.

Gaiden (Another Story): Ayatsuji Yukito vs. Kyogoku Natsuhiko - the novel has no english release yet, but it's a spin-off about different ability users and i think Ango is the only recurring character from the main series there. There is an ongoing manga adaptation which does have an official english release.

The Day I Picked Up Dazai - i don't think this one is formally released yet as it was a bonus novel given out at the screening of the BEAST movie. It's divided into Side A and Side B and i haven't read this one yet but i believe it's about how Dazai and Oda first met, where each side follows the other's perspective. There's a completed fan-translation of both sides by @popopretty.

Kunikida and Katai's Magnificent Days - this is a really sweet short story about Kunikida and Katai's friendship and i have no idea where the official version is from but there is a fan-translation of it you can read here.

In addition to BEAST and Gaiden there is also Wan! which is the super cute casual chibi spin-off manga with no stakes and no angst and only vibes, it is still ongoing and has an official english release. Some of the chapters were adapted into the Wan! anime series with 12 episodes (they are shorter episodes of 10 min each) and it is literally free therapy and will give you a year's worth of serotonin!!

There is also the bsd anthology series, which are side stories written and illustrated by different mangakas, there is no official english release that i know of but you can find fan-translations of some of the side stories here and there online.

We also have bsd mayoi or Tales of the Lost, the mobile gacha game which also includes a high school AU storyline (bsd gakuen)!

Other than these, there are also several stage plays, although it's harder to find content on these in english since they are only performed in Japan.

Bsd fans are truly the most well-fed fans of all time sometimes i forget how much content we have and still we keep getting more, it's unreal

Thank God it's Friday. So I have two requests. Request #1: Can I have a Rowen where Roman and Owen are secretly dating and get caught by Deckard with Deckard threatening Roman and Owen calling him out on being with Hobbs

Roman wiggled through the window and fell to the floor, letting out a grunt of pain

"Shh! Be quiet! I can't let Deck know you're here." Owen hissed at him in the dark

Roman simply rolled his eyes

Why did he have to get with a guy who was too lazy to find his own place and decided we to live with a brother that probably wouldn't approve of their relationship

Standing up, Roman groped around for Owen or anything to tell him how to navigate safely around the room. Feeling Owen's arm, Roman moved closer to him and whispered

"Tell me again why we aren't just staying in a hotel?"

"Cause most of my stuff's here and I don't want to leave wearing the same clothes tomorrow."

"I swear, I can just buy you new stuff. It'd be much better than us literally sneaking into your brother's apartment!"

Roman felt like a teenager again. Sneaking into his boyfriend's parents, well brother in this case, house just to see his boyfriend

"Stop whining. You get to sleep with me, what's a better reward than that?"

"Keeping my head cause you know your brother's going to kill me when he finds me here."

"He's not going to find you."

"And what about him killing me?"

"I can't guarantee that. But I'll try to stop him."

"Love you too, babe," Roman said dryly

Suddenly, he felt Owen's lips on his cheek

"Love you too. Now shut up and get in bed."

The sun was shining and Deckard could vaguely hear the cars down below as he woke up. He could feel Luke's arms still wrapped around him as he slowly got his bearings

Turning in Luke's arms, Deckard kissed him awake and smiled as Luke kissed back, albeit sleepily

"Monring, love." Deckard whispered

"Morning."

"Want a shower first? I'm going to make breakfast." Deckard said, kissing him again

Luke let out a moan and pulled from the kiss

"Breakfast sounds great."

Slipping out of Luke's arms, Deckard headed towards the kitchen and stopped dead in his tracks

There shouldn't be any dishes in the sink.

"Owen." Deckard hissed to himself

He had been hoping Owen wouldn't be back from his latest heist and would let him and Luke have their short time together

Especially since his little brother didn't know he was dating the DSS agent

Sighing, Deckard turned around and headed towards Owen's room. Better to make sure he was asleep so he coukr sneak Luke out

Gently knocking on the door, Deckard wasn't surprised to not hear anything. Owen could sleep through almost anything

Opening the door, Deckard peaked his head in and was met with the panic filled eyes of one Roman Pearce

"What the bloody hell!"

Owen jerked up, wide awake at Deckard's yell.

And just in time as Deckard seemed to pull a knife out of thin air and started advancing on Roman

"Deck! It's not what it looks like!"

Deckard glared at him and Owen cringed

"Ok, yes. It is what it looks like. But come on! He's not that bad!"

"Hey!" Roman shouted in resentment

"You, quiet." Deckard hissed at Roman and turned back to Owen. "I swear Owen, are you fifteen again? Hiding your boyfriends from me?"

"No! I just didnt think you'd approve!"

"And I don't!"

"Um. Is everything ok?" A voice asked from the doorway

Three heads swiveled to look at Luke, who was sheepishly looking into the room, a towel wrapped around his waist and body still wet from the shower

"I heard shouts and wanted to check if everything was ok."

"What the bloody hell is he doing here?" Owen rounded on Deckard

Head in hands, Deckard didn't answer. He was too focused on deciding on whether or not to laugh or cry at the situation

Roman and Luke could only share looks of sympathy as they realized what kind of hole they had dug themselves into

Hope you enjoy friend!

BWAHAHAHA! I ADORE IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH POGUE!!!

Thank you @marvelwonderwitch for suggesting a CMBYN inspired Rowen piece! Hope you like it!

Commission Info

Akutagawa nearly staring in awe at Atsushi when he realizes how strong he is and that he's finally found someone worthy of being his "trial" is something I think about and then scream

Like he'll go on and on about how weak Atsushi is but then look at him like this

So I've seen the huskerdust theory that Husk would gamble to get Angel's soul back. However, I'd like to offer an alternative. Angel gambles Alastor for Husk's soul. Not only are these higher stakes because Angel doesn't probably have as good as gambling skills as Husk. He could offer Alastor his life, which Alastor might take because it would mess with Val, which would mess with Vox. Think of Husk having to watch a game that he can't have anything to do. He can't use his skills to help his beloved. The angst he would feel and the fear of losing Angel. I think it would make for a very juicy story and I might have to write that.

Hello Omni! May I request Owen trying to apologize to Mia through his actions, but Mia doesn't get the message until Owen verbally asks for forgiveness.

Awww!! I don't think we'll ever get it, but I really hope we get to see Mia and Owen interacting with each! Is Owen at all remorseful for his actions?

~~~

Mia glared harder and harder as she watched Owen Shaw

When Dom had told her Deckard would be coming, she had been excited to see the man again. He gave her all sorts of tips about cooking and knife throwing. He had even gotten her an impress set the last time she saw him

What she wasn't expecting was for Deckard to bring his brother and sister

Hattie was nice, if awkward around kids. It was actually funny to see a hardened MI6 agent almost fleeing from a four year old trying to give her a spit covered candy. However, Mia had been pissed when she had seen the other Shaw brother

She would never forget the kidnapping or how Gisele lost her life against Shaw. Quietly, she had taken Deckard aside and asked him to keep his brother away from her. Luckily, Deckard understood completely and followed her request

But. That didn't stop Owen from trying to approach her

Or her kids

Mia had been busy talking with Tej that she hadn't noticed Jack getting overwhelmed and having a meltdown. She was normally good at catching the signs of when he needed a break from the commotion, but she had been distracted

What she hadn't expected was Owen to hurry over and help calm Jack down. He had gently talked to him and helped cover his ears to block out the noises. Stunned, Mia could only stare as Jack's breathing started to slow and the tears stopped

A moment later, she was rushing over to them

"Get away from him!" She hissed lowly and tried to keep her posture loose so not to scare Jack

"Just trying to help the little tyke." Shaw said smoothly, raising his hands up in surrender. "I've had the same issues."

Mia narrowed her eyes at him

"Come on, honey, let's get inside." She rubbed Jack's back and led him inside to help him calm down

She pointedly ignored the way Owen was looking at them with empathy

---

Frowning, Mia bit her lip as she tried to sharpen one of the knives Deckard had given her

It was on the rare occasion she helped the crew on a mission and she wanted her blades as sharp as she could make them. She was good with a gun, but they needed to be stealthy during this mission

However, the only knives she's ever sharpened were kitchen ones and not large hunting knives. She wasn't used to using a whetstone to sharpen them

So focused on the task, she hadn't heard footsteps walking up to her

"If you keep going like that, you're going to damage it." A soft voice told her

Mia nearly jumped from her seat at the unexpected voice and gripped the knife tightly as she glared up at the man almost looming over her

Owen simply stared at her, not bothered by her harsh gaze

"Here. Let me show you."

"And how do I know you're any good?" Mia sneered

"Cause I've been doing it since I was a babe." Owen shrugged

Keeping her eyes narrowed at him, she finally handed the equipment over. She hadn't been expecting Owen to sit closely next to her and show her how to do it properly

"You need to angle it right..."

Mia would never say it, but she appreciated the lesson Owen gave her

---

It had been a few weeks after that incident and Mia could feel herself slowly relaxing around Owen

She had finally admitted that he seemed good with her kids and allowed him to help coach Jack with his ADHD. It was nice to see her little boy rushing up to the man and not be judged for rambling about whatever had taken his fancy that month. Owen would always listen with rapt attention and encouraged Jack's interests

It also helped that everyone else in the crew had accepted Owen's dry wit, love of cars, and intelligence. Mia could feel herself softening around the man

But she couldn't understand why he always seemed to be offering her help

She was frankly getting sick of the man getting under foot, asking if he could carry anything, do something, or clean. However, when he offered to help in the kitchen, she had found out how bad of an idea that was

Because now she was looking down at three completely burned pies

"How could this happen...?" She mumbled, poking at one with a fork. It was almost all pure ash

"Sorry." Owen cleared his throat and looked away from the pies. "Deck always said I was shite at cooking."

"All I did was tell you to put them in the oven." Mia frowned and narrowed her eyes. "You didn't do this in purpose did you?"

"No!" Owen glared at her. "I was only trying to help."

"Why?" Mia snapped, done with all the things Owen had been trying to help with. "Do you think I'm incompetent? That I can't do things for myself?"

"No, not at all." Owen said quickly

"Then why do you keep doing all these things? I don't need your help!"

"I know!" Owen shook his head. "I just wanted to show you how sorry I was for, well, the past."

Mia blinked and could only stare at Owen

He met her eyes but she could see his hands fidget slightly at his sides

"So, all this was... an apology?" She asked tentatively

"Yeah." Owen sighed. "I didn't want to harm you back then, and wasn't planning on it. I just wanted your brother out of the way."

"And that makes things ok?" She hissed

"No." Owen shrugged. "You don't have to forgive me. I only wanted to show you that I'm sorry."

"By destroying the pies?" Mia drawled, unimpressed

"Ok, that wasn't supposed to happen." Owen mumbled, a slight tinge of pink on his cheeks

Mia could only stare at Owen, looking him up and down. Finally, she sighed

"I still haven't forgiven you, but I'm not as angry about it." She admitted. "But, if you ever try to hurt me or my family, I'll cut your balls off and force feed them to you."

Owen nodded thoughtfully before a small smirk played on his lips

"You'll have to learn how to sharpen your knives by yourself then."

Mai could help the small laugh that left her

~~~

I hope you enjoyed friend!
