Look At His Face. Look At His Sorrow

I made a lengthy list of Taylor Swift songs that fit characters/relationships from bsd, and I wanted to explain deeper about some of the songs listed there :]

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart for Fyolai really fits to me. It's from Nikolai's pov, and I think it describes his character around Fyodor very well

"'Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit

They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it" and I did

Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die

He said he'd love me all his life

But that life was too short

Breaking down, I hit the floor

All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting "More"

I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks

'Cause I can do it with a broken heart (one, two, three, four)

I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day

I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague

I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art

You know you're good when you can even do it

With a broken heart"

I just can't over how much this fits them. Nikolai hiding everything behind his emotional mask, how one-sided his relationship with Fyodor is, his obsession with Fyodor and his persistence 

Ever since I first heard this song way back on April 19th 2024 (my life changed that day 😔), I've thought this was just such a Fyolai-esque song :> 

my favorites pics of 'the eras tour' ♡

Akutagawa / Atsushi

Stitch-Up

Akatsu

This one's fuuuuuun

He'd have some zingers with him.

With how perpetually done Atsushi is with the agency shenanigans and how blunt and brash Akutagawa is he'd be sassy asf..-

Sarcasm King

His Ability would ve a cloth tiger I think

-Nix🌙

I can't get over the connection that Atsushi and Akutagawa have in this recent chapter. "Feel strongly" - and Atsushi sees Akutagawa's past. His heart is just so thoroughly connected to Akutagawa that it is the first thing he focuses on.

And then Akutagawa recalls the meeting with Dazai the moment Atsushi experiences it. So at least while Atsushi is in the four-dimensional space, they are connected on a deeper level than before, it's something like a mind-meld even.

Atsushi seeing what Akutagawa went through. What drove him. What he thought, how that changed over time, culminating in sacrifice.

This manga keeps inventing SSKK being soulmates with every chapter and I'm insane over it.

Do you think Beast Atsushi has nightmares of Akutagawa with his neck slashed open

*Mrrrr*

Something about how Akutugawa saved Atsushi on the boat at the weakest he’s ever been. For he didn’t have his coat which was the main conduit for his ability.

And yet Akutugawa managed to manipulate the literal shirt off his back to get Atsushi to safety.

But when Akutugawa is at the strongest he’s ever been thanks to Bram passing his ability onto him.

When he reaches the strength that he’s always wanted to attain. That’s when he’s powerless to save himself.

That’s when he’s powerless to save Atsushi.

Akutagawa finally got everything he wanted…and it cost him everything.

if, you know, he didn’t think Atsushi was already dead

This tweet reminded me of this one panel from the manga

I already did another poll (it ended) with different songs, the winning song was Fight or Flight by Conan Gray, and I wanted to make another due to the huge amount of songs that fit sskk! All these songs fit sskk at some point in their relationship or dynamic, but I wanna see which one people think is the best suited<3
