Reblogging This Just For Myself But Also I Love Obi So Much

only in bungou stray dogs do you get a detective agency consisting of one (1) detective, a catboy and some fourteen year olds, among others. and a mafia with members including someone whos half god Or Something, the personification of a sad angry wet cat, said mafia also employs far too many fourteen year olds. also theres a load of americans that live on a flying whale with members like a farmer and his eldritch horror boyfriend, and a goth writer with a pet raccoon who hasn't got over his crush from six years ago. and that's all without even mentioning dazai

dazai's "... woah" reaction to learning nikolai plans to kill fyodor is really funny considering it's basically the same he had in 15, when mori explained to dazai that he would die in a double suicide with chuuya and dazai's brain just. stopped for some goood seconds

and later he tells fyodor "seems like you have a nice friend", regarding nikolai's murderous intentions. we can't see his face as he says it but I'd be willing to bet he genuinely finds that aspect of the fyolai dynamic interesting. specially if we take this scene from the light novels into account

and if we consider "I've been coming up with ways to kill chuuya for the past seven years". and the fact that chuuya very much wishes he could kill dazai too sometimes. really makes you think about the way dazai sees it :)

Love how I just finished one complicated project (an animatic) have a couple other complicated projects (glass paintings, regular paintings and cards to give for Christmas) and am now starting a new complicated project (creating my own game with a custom story and graphics despite never doing video game graphics before)

Anyways I’ll continue spending all my time scrolling on this app and reading orv while complaining how busy I am to my friends

I have become what I sought to destroy

(I danced for hours in the middle of a crowd and encouraged my friends to join)

Learned how to edit just so I could make this

god i love making animatics in my head i wish drawing was real
