Art From Last Artfight I Did For Drowsydolls On Toyhouse

I really hope that this changes the way Atsushi see the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai in the future. Because in the past he had no context as to why Akutagawa was so fixated on getting Dazai’s approval and why he hated Atsushi so much. Because from his perspective before Akutagawa was some guy that Dazai knew in the mafia who was weirdly fixated on him.

But now he can actually see the similarities in how in their past and in how they were treated. I mean who else would understand Akutagawa hating his abuser, but also desperately needing their approval to keep on going more than Atsushi.

That isn’t to say that I want Atsushi to do a complete 180 and start to hate Dazai now, but I would like him to start to be more mindful of how Akutagawa feels. Tho to be fair I think if Atsushi finds out that Dazai was somewhat responsible for Akutagawa sacrificing himself on the boat, I would like him to have a strong reaction to that. Since as much as I like Dazai as a character, he’s been getting away with treating Akutagawa poorly for too long.

Ichigo, after having only his human friends to rely on in a tough situation:

Ichigo, after relying on a human friend again and a tough situation:

Just...time and again whenever Ichigo trusts his human group of friends it turns out bad. The narrative ultimately punishes him for it by handing him not just brutal defeat, but some kind of deep physical, psychological and spritual wound.

And every time the human group doesn't get to "redeem" themselves by coming in clutch and helping him turn it around.

Someone else always swoops in and gives Ichigo the key to getting back up, getting his power back, and end up being the ones fighting alongside him as he crosses the victory line.

It's no happenstance that when Ichigo does this:

It's after he leaves behind all his human friends.

A shinigami and a quincy are the ones fighting with him and the ones whose strength he relies on, and with them he wins.

It's also very telling his human friends are never invited by Ichigo to join him. They follow and he allows it, but he never goes to them first and asks them for help, never chooses to have them accompany him when they do come, and each time he is forced by circumstances to rely on them he aggressively does his own thing as much as he can despite them, so he never gets any benefit from them being there anyway.

Why write the story like this if you want him to end up in the human world unless it's to show that that ending isn't a victory for Ichigo but a new, inescapable low?

Frankie's bloodwork came back good for surgery so we're set for him going in on the 12th

Frankie is home, they found and removed 3 more tumors than expected and depending on the results from having them looked at there's some concern for the long wrong. But he's home and curled up against my stomach right now. This is a new vet so I was worried but they're amazing, they called throughout the day to give us multiple updates, they checked all his organs to see if it spread without charging us more and were very kind about my distress of leaving him.

Anyways Frankie now looks like his namesake Frankenstein lol
