a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

pretending to gag at asian food

pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures

excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)

not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "can i call you by something else?"

adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~

using the words "oriental" and "exotic" to describe asian people, particular asian women

ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, and central asians

making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)

treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community

co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history

I was thinking about it last night, how some people say Chuuya is a second choice, and I can see why but honestly Chuuya reeks of being a sacrifice to me. Everytime, he gives up something he wants, including himself, for the greater good — or what Mori deems the greater good for the Port Mafia, or Yokohama.

He knows, he will never see that part of himself again after losing his friends — or better yet, family. Constantly, Chuuya sacrifices a piece of himself in various events, with the Flags, to The Sheep; all costs him his sense of belonging. And where do you belong, when you're a sacrifice? Are you even human?

As soon as he gets comfortable with others, he begins to lose them. He's chosen to do it all, because he's the best option for it. Who is the best option to destroy yourself other than you?

'Corruption' begins to make sense even more because it's a corruption of not only his humanity but his trust too, his ability to believe these bonds will ever get to age.

I think that's another reason why being with the Port Mafia works for Chuuya, is because all his sacrifices amount to something in a way. It gives him a place to belong.

The snow lying on the roof tiles is a touch hard, the dead trees’ twigs are sleepy like a deer; six o’clock on a winter morning, my head too is sleepy.

The birds pass by singing - the garden earth is sleepy like a deer. - The wood has fled, the farmhouse has fled. The sky is sad weakness.    My heart is sad…

- Nakahara Chūya, “Winter Daybreak” from The Poems of Nakahara Chūya

I take a one month break only to return to find my favourite wet cat has a broken foot

Here's the high quality version! 🩷

It's available on the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki!^^

I'll get straight to the point. there is this official art from bungo stray dogs that I've been looking for everywhere but I can't find a high quality version or a complete version. it's the one where all of the agency members are holding one piece of atsushis clothing. basically the art on how atsushis outfit came to be. I can't find it anywhere- well okay I can find it places but I don't know where to find the full version- so if any of you could help me out and give me a link for Pinterest or whatever then I'd appreciate it

thank you! ♡

🎤: The second and last part to Lotte's slideshow/Infoshow! ✨I personally loved designing this part of her. Usually, my characters are quite extroverted, but she's an introvert-leaning ambivert, so it made me think about her hobbies and thought process better.

Well then, reader, let us meet again, if we live. Let us keep our spirits up. Do not despair. Goodbye.

How do people feel about Eleceed OCs? 🧍🏾‍♀️

From Asagiri’s “Reception of Modern Literature” lecture at Chuo University’s Hakumon Festival. It's quite interesting, so sharing it here. It's confirmed that there'll be more arcs after this one is finished!
