PLEASE DO FALLING ASLEEP TO THE OTHER'S HEARTBEAT- I'VE HAD THIS IDEA OF CHUUYA FALLING ASLEEP TO DAZAI'S HEARTBEAT, AND HE'S MANIPULATING IT TO BE CALMING FOR SO LONG-
ahem, sorry for the yelling - goblin anon
YESS this works so well with Dazai’s whole controlling his heartbeat thing you’re right!!
ok but if at some point of chainsaw man part 2 denji is asked for his full name and he says ‘hayakawa denji’ i would literally cry my eyes out, it would be my last straw fr
the “oh it’d be funny if this were a thing that qifrey didn’t know and was never told by someone” joke gets funnier and sadder if you believe olruggio’s talking about the tassel exchange when he’s ranting about heartbreak in chapter 59 pff
Which Hypmic character do you think is most likely to commit tax fraud? (for some reason i genuinely wanna see your answer to this question NDBWKJDHWKFLWFNBW)
When I mentioned this as an offhand comment elsewhere, I was definitely thinking Rei, but you know what? That's too easy. We can do better. Let's take a deep dive into Hypmic characters and their potential to commit tax fraud.
Ichirou - Ichirou would never knowingly commit tax fraud because he is a good boy at heart, but would he know to pay enterprise tax? Is Ichirou receiving cash under the table from the ol' grannies of Ikebukuro and not reporting it to the government? Does Yamada Odd Jobs even have a business license? This is doubtful, considering that Ichirou is breaking child labor laws by employing Saburou. (Children under the age of 15 cannot be employed for the kind of work the BBs do.) Unless Saburou is not listed as an employee, which means that Ichirou is either paying him off the record (tax fraud!) or not paying him at all (also illegal!). There's also some questionableness about him employing Jirou, as children under the age of 18 cannot be employed for anything that is dangerous or harmful, and any jobs involving rapping with the country's weapon of choice would certainly qualify as dangerous. This whole operation is a lawyer's nightmare. Like father, like son.
Jirou - Do you seriously think Jirou knows how to calculate and file taxes? Hoo baby. This is, of course, assuming that Ichirou (as his employer) doesn't do it for him and also assuming, of course, that Ichirou pays Jirou and pays taxes, both of which I'm not sure we can comfortably decide on our own.
Saburou - Saburou is one of the very few people in this list capable of filing taxes and simultaneously one of the even fewer people in this list capable of creating an offshore account in the Cayman Islands in which to hide his ill-gotten wealth.
Samatoki - Samatoki works for the Katen-gumi yakuza, an organized crime syndicate, but yet he doesn't smuggle weapons, doesn't deal drugs, doesn't extort the locals for money, doesn't act as a pimp for sex workers, doesn't own any casinos, and doesn't loanshark. In fact, he's made clear his disdain for almost all of the things on this list and beats up those who do happen to do the activities on this list. So what exactly does this gang do that's actually criminal? By process of elimination, it's probably tax fraud. They probably own a bunch of restaurants and other small businesses as fronts and just, like, pay half taxes on everything. Scandalous.
Juuto - I cannot look at Juuto and say with a straight face that he doesn't commit some kind of tax fraud.
Riou - He doesn't pay property tax on the land he camps on. I doubt he owns it, so this is less tax fraud and more being a squatter. Either way, illegal.
Ramuda - I don't think Ramuda has a legal government identity - or rather, he probably does, but it's shared with all the clones. This means that while another clone is owning his shop and business (and thus paying property tax, personal income tax, and enterprise tax), he and the other clones are still, presumably, eating food and thus all paying consumption tax. Ramuda's legal identity is therefore paying MORE taxes than anyone else. Does this count as negative fraud?
Gentarou - Assuming that Gentarou is not his legal name, Gentarou is apparently filing taxes under someone else's name which definitely counts.
Dice - Dice is a freeter, and so the matter of his income tax is left up to his various employers. I am positive that the Tobaris did not pay income tax for that smuggling operation he ran in FP/M+ chapters 1 - 4, meaning that Dice has once again unknowingly committed a crime.
Jakurai - Jakurai seems like the one person who would sincerely do all his taxes and, moreover, do them correctly.
Hifumi - Prior to the H Age, Hifumi was a good boy who filed all his taxes properly. Now that the local government office is overrun by women, Hifumi is too terrified to go file for a tax return, which can be necessary if an employee makes over 20,000,000 yen a year. I don't know how much Hifumi makes, but this isn't outside of the realm of possibility. Tax fraud! (Or he just makes Doppo do it. Or there's electronic filing. But shh.)
Doppo - I think his employers would just handle all his income tax by withholding it from his salary, as is standard. There might be some screwy-dewyness from the amount of overtime he works, but this is really on his employer, not him.
Sasara - He would do it only once, and never again, just to say "Tax fraud? More like I'm tax flawed, am I right?"
Roshou - Roshou might run into trouble as an employee of Rei, who is most certainly not filing taxes. This is kind of fraud by proxy.
Rei - Yeah.
Kuukou - As a priest, Kuukou may be exempt from paying income tax for activities that are "related to the purpose of the organization [of the Buddhist temple]" (page 167), but this necessitates that Kuukou has an income. Certainly, we've seen him buy things before, but... where does the money come from? Presumably, he has an allowance from his father or is actually paid by his father for whatever priestly duties he does (cleaning the temple...?), and so the question then becomes whether or not those activities count as religious (I'm going to hazard a guess that cleaning does not count) and whether or not his father handles the bookkeeping correctly, as I don't trust Kuukou to handle his own taxes.
Juushi - I bet he has Hitoya help him with his income taxes. He's a good kid who wouldn't mess it up on purpose.
Hitoya - Hitoya writes off both Kuukou and Juushi as dependents, which probably isn't legal as Juushi almost certainly makes more than 480,000 a year. It also isn't legal in the sense that they're not financially dependent on Hitoya, but his argument is that they're emotionally dependent on him, which should qualify him for an even larger deduction.
Final takeaway:

Anyway if this post reaches 30000 notes I'll sit down and professionally film a Goncharov movie scene you can send to people who claim it's not real. This is completely serious, I've made movies before and I'm willing to do it for the memes.
bsd modern/uni au where the jail arc is all the meursault girlies going to a jailbreak-themed escape room for Fyodor’s birthday but they’re all drunk asf (except Sigma, who’s the designated driver) and. Dazai gets in and immediately lays down on the ground and accepts death but he’s so bored he starts solving the puzzles from the floor anyway and Nikolai is climbing the walls trying to see if the ceiling panels open and Chuuya is trying to brute-force various doors and safes open and poor Sigma is trying so hard to solve it and get out and Fyodor is waging psychological war with the person watching them over the cameras but he scares them away and starts trying to psychologically fight Dazai instead and at this point the worker assigned to them has just. left so they’re stuck in this room with Chuuya and Sigma’s crumbling sanity for like. three hours. in the end they get out bcuz Dazai solved the code for the door without even doing the rest of the room. anyways just think about it
“Hello you’re through to the rare circumstances help centre branch of Jobs4U the only centre that deals with sufficiently rare and unusual circumstances among applicants, how can I assist you today?”
“I’m not sorry at all but I keep on telling the truth”
“Huh… Okay… Are you calling about a disability that prevents you from lying to your boss and thereby prevents you from acquiring or maintaining employment?”
“Yes, that’s exactly right”
“Well, not to worry. We here at Jobs4U believe that honesty really is the best policy. You’re among good company. What I’m going to ask you to do is fill in a request form that will specifically filter out jobs that require dishonesty. That way you can work with your disability rather than against it. Does that sound good?”
“Honestly that program in general sounds like it’s horseshit, but I think it’ll work just fine for me personally”
“Uh… Okay?”
“I feel as though you’ve understood my needs perfectly and don’t want to clarify myself further”
“Right… I… Would you mind waiting on hold for me while I confer with my colleague?”
“To be honest with you, I don’t feel up to waiting on hold right now. You should just send me that form because it sounds like it’s exactly what I’m after”
“I understand that. In the case that you want to fill out the form I’ve sent an email with the document attached to the address you have on file with us. In the case that you’re not after the form, please bear with me one moment”
*click*
*elevator music*

“Hello, are you still on the line with me?”
“No, I hung up”
“Perfect. Okay, ma’am, I can see several openings in positions we believe you’d excel at. Let’s see… Ah, yes. There’s an interview for a position near you later this afternoon actually.”
“That sounds terrible. Don’t tell me what it’s for”
“You’ll be working with a partner guarding two doors… They’ll explain it to you in more detail during orientation.”
The rubric as I understand it is that it's a Gundam when it's one person, it's a Pacific Rim when it's two people, and if it's a bunch of people it can be either a Voltron or a Megazord depending on various circumstances
gonna be real here: we need MORE quarter life crisis!Chuuya in that outfit!!! Helicopter scene, but he is dressed like that. Scene where he breaks in to Ango in Dead Apple, but he's dressed like that. Vampire!Chuuya bursting into prison, but he's still wearing these clothes; expect here plot gets derailed, because both Dostoevsky and Gogol cannot take the sight of it and start judging his fashion choices. They either get dressed the same right after or get him a new attaire first.
Alskdjfj thank you for requesting this anon, I love quarter life crisis Chuuya—(For anyone who’s new to this AU, it’s this thing I drew a bit ago)
Helicopter scene:
Prison breakout (I can’t imagine Fyodor would be pleased lol):
Dead Apple (plus a bonus because oh my gosh the mental image of Chuuya going through the entire movie like this, HELP):
bitches be like "i'm the strongest" and then get sealed inside a rubik's cube forever bc they can't get over their ex

Denji: If you’re dating girl she should dump you and date me. But its probably a boy cause you’re gay
Power: Yeah you’re a [wildly offensive 90s gay slur]!
Denji and Aki: That’s so fucked up. Power what’s wrong with you? That’s so offensive.
Power: [cries and throws a fit and flushes all the vegetables in the house down the toilet]
Aki: [has to reschedule his date because thats the only time the plumber can come over]

CRIME SCENE. DO NOT CROSS.
based on the idea that ranpo, a genius detective who can solve all cases possible, breaks down and shatters at the mere sight of edgar allan poe's death --- the only murder case he can't bring himself to solve due to the sheer amount of grief, confusion, despair, and madness crawling and twisting out of every fibre of his being.
real question to all of my fellow book reading people. how do you guys mark your place? do you use a bookmark, dog ear, memorize the page #, or a secret other thing???? 📚
a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more
I do agree that it is generally not ok to expose people to graphic/traumatizing images without their consent
but damn it. if you are still willingly supporting an industry where standard practice in the treatment of sentient beings is so cruel, and the consequences for humans and the planet so terrible that you cannot even watch a few seconds of footage without getting traumatized….then you are one massive hypocrite
