Chapter 6 Of Singularities Is Live!

I think it would be adorable if Jeremy started playing songs with French lyrics in them to make Jean feel more at home. Or if Jeremy secretly learned French to surprise Jean. Either scenario would be cute.

So, the anime I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time is hilarious. Only two episodes have been dubbed on CrunchyRoll (I'm too lazy for sub, sue me), but as an adult who's worked in customer service and had to pull double shifts and deal with shitty customers, it's pretty good so far. I highly recommend it.

Chapter 4 is up and chapter 5 will be out later this month. Enjoy!

Summary: During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.

Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.

Not that Dazai cares ... right?

I know we make fun of Kevin and Neil’s habit of thinking only of exy right after something traumatic happens (Seth's death, Neil's focus on his racket after Andrew’s attack, the bloody happy birthday jr.). But I think some people overlook that it's a trauma response and a very well written one at that. It's a form of disassociation that, on the outside, looks very dismissive, disconnected, or irrelevant from what's actually happening. Both of them turn to exy because it's mentally a safe place for them, and focusing on it is their brain's way of feeling a little in control of the situation.

Neil is the epitome of that "god has let me live another day and I'm about to make it everybody's problem" meme.

So, realistically, how much do we think Dazai actually plans versus him just being really good at taking advantage of any situation/getting lucky and just claiming he had a plan all along? Just him being like:

Dazai: "Everything's going according to plan."

Insert Chatacter Here: "Everything's literally on fire."

Dazai, not expecting to get this far in life let alone this situation: "Which was my plan all along. Obviously. Keep up."

I may not word this right, but I like that Apothecary Diaries doesn't reduce any of the female characters to just victims. In so many stories that involve sex work, it seems like the women are victims first and characters second. As if their character is made completely around the fact that they've had this experience and that dictates everything about what they do and think in the story. And while Apothecary Diaries certainly doesn't shy away from the dark side/trama that can come from that line of work, it does do a good job at acknowledging that none of the characters are really defined by it or shamed for it in the story for that matter.

Blue Thryssa after the events of Season 3: Are you fucking kidding me?! Seriously?! Anything else?!

Alternatively: Welcome to our monthly meet-up. Looks like we have some new fucking members.

I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.

I just realized that all my medication sounds like Pokémon names. Like "I choose you, Lexapro!" or "My eevee evolved into a Bupropion."
