Bsd Outfit References For Fanart/ocs/aus Etc #3

public service announcement for all skk and skk-adjacent writers out there:

it may be very tempting to go from Dazai calling Chuuya "petit mafia" (like some translations I can't find right now do) to an endearing pet name like using the French possessive form and get "mon petit mafia". HOWEVER, that string of words makes absolutely no sense in French:

The word "mafia" is feminine, so it should be "ma petite mafia" (my little mafia [organization])

"mafia" only refers to the group/organization, so unless you want Dazai to refer to Chuuya as his own mafia (which you could), the French translation of "mafioso" is "mafieux" (masc) or "mafieuse" (fem), for "mon petit mafieux" (my little mafioso), but you could also use mafioso as-is as the original Italian word.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk 👍

I know everyone asks about it but does girl literally just live alone? is she an orphan or like just have absent parents that literally makes her live alone?? if that's the case then they probably just send her allowance or smth that's crazy

We need less "shy, anxious, always second guessing" Apollo in fanworks, and approximately 400% more of whatever the hell this is.

rereading gourmet hound for like the 18628263th and it is still the best and my comfort webtoon ever

Every month I am reminded that underneath all the goofy hijinks and funny character interactions, TBHK is ultimately a story about loss, regret and most of all, love. It’s obvious when a major plot point revolves around romance but overall, it dissects all forms of love: platonic, familial, romantic and the self. It’s an examination on unhealthy relationships and the interpersonal issues that drive people to foster them in the first place. It’s a recital about grief and the struggle of knowing when to hold on and when to let go. It’s a timeless tale about the delicate balance of life and death, fate and choice, love and hate, etc. It’s a story about people trying their best to navigate their relationships. Each and every one of them. And I love TBHK so much for it

Hyuna's Revenge

Hyuna's revenge is threefold.

First — she knows her death would hurt Luka more than his own ever would.

Luka, who does not value his own body at all, smiles at the fact that he won even though he is thoroughly injured.

— Round 5 Commentary, Artbook

Heperu has long since trained Luka's fear of death out of him. It's implied that he's been put through the sensation of dying again and again until he overcame it.

At this point he isn't even phased by a gun to his head, only acknowledging it for a second in Wiege when it physically stops his forward step, before turning away uncaringly to look at what's more important to him — Hyuna.

Second — her final request asks him, requires him, to live.

Luka, live with love.

Embrace the pain, the frailty and the moments so unbearably shameful.

Forgive yourself…

Again and again, endlessly.

Because everything… begins from there.

Luka no longer has an easy out. Because oh death would be the easy way out. Living is the true challenge.

And to do what Hyuna asked of him?

Despite being subjected to the cruelest, harshest training known in Alnst since childhood, this will be the hardest thing he'll ever do.

By leaving him with those words, Hyuna has left him with no choice but to honor her final request, continue to live on without her, and be haunted by the gaping hole of her absence thereon.

This is even more harsh when you consider Hyuna has been Luka's coping mechanism this entire time, and she mercilessly stripped that away from him. Which leads us to:

Third — with her death, Hyuna is forcing Luka to confront everything he's been avoiding.

Luka was only able to walk away so easily (figuratively and literally) because he was escaping reality through Hyuna.

I resented you so.

I had to keep moving forward in every moment...

In comparison Hyuna was never able to accept what happened. She had to grapple with her pain, her loss, and her inability to come to terms with it in her every waking moment.

By dying right in front of him, Hyuna is forcing his eyes open to the reality he wasn't facing when he made her his entire world.

Luka made her his chosen savior, but what can he do when she's the one dying?

He now has to confront not only her death, but Hyun Woo's, and everyone else's. All of the horrific deaths he had witnessed, all of the ones he had a hand in.

But Hyuna also left him the answer within her last words — words that serve as both his condemnation and his salvation.

They're one last puzzle to solve, and if he manages to find his answer, Luka will be able to save himself.

She left him the answer, the words he needs, because even to the very end Hyuna cares deeply for that small child.

Hyuna truly chose to carry out her revenge in the cruelest... and gentlest way possible.

This time...

I'll be your new puzzle to solve.

So don't rush, and take your time to figure it out.

I don't know how long it'll take...

But I hope you find your own answer.

apollo justice is so accurate as an early-20s person. he's taking whatever job he can get (even if it's cleaning toilets or babysitting instead of doing his actual career.) he says he's getting old when he's around high schoolers. he's constantly two seconds from crashing out. he lowkey has imposter syndrome; he definitely has anxiety. he's tired to his fucking bones and cranky like an old man, but also the biggest goofball to ever exist. he has savage one liners. no one takes him seriously as an actual adult. he doesn't understand teenage fads. he styles his hair in the dumbest way imaginable. he has a terrible sleep schedule. he thinks he's hot shit but he also beats himself up.

he's just so relatable. he's doing fine!
