Being A Fic Writer Is Fun, Because You Can Plan Out The Most Devastating And Gut Wrenching Scenes Possible.

Being a fic writer is fun, because you can plan out the most devastating and gut wrenching scenes possible. But it's also fun because your notes look like this and none of it is serious.

"There's something wretched about this

Something so precious about this

Where to begin?"

Thinking about how Chuuya's father-son relationship with Adam plays into the metaphor of 'Child of Adam, which inadvertently proves his humanity and presents the Abel and Cain dynamic with Verlaine. Abel being the younger brother and a shepherd, (King of The Sheep) and them both giving offerings to God (Guivre and Arahabaki), but God only favoring one of them (Chuuya being able to in-part accept his humanity), and Cain killing him in response (Verlaine stripping Chuuya of his loved ones.) It also drives the point home when you think about the fact that Verlaine's kill signature is a white cross made of birch.

Galvanism

After absolute months of planning, I'm so happy to announce that my Rimlaine fic, "Galvanism" is finally up with it's first chapter released to Ao3!!!

Galvanism is a narrative-driven, slow burn story revolving around one of Rimlaine's dispatch missions before the events of Bungo Stray Dogs or Suribachi city. It has!:

An original-character-based supporting cast based on real authors, using some of my favorite authors like John Milton and Dante Alighieri and their works to shape their unique abilities

RELIGIOUS THEMES!!! Using a cathedral as a base of operations, the antagonist organization of Galvanism, Paradiso, is comprised of various authors of religious backgrounds and aesthetics.

A long-form plot planned since November of last year (please help)

Various metaphors for Rimlaine's relationship, as well as exploration of BOTH character's issues and struggles with themselves and their environment.

A LOT of love put into it <3.

If you are interested in any of these concepts or simply want to support me as a writer, please consider putting Galvanism on your reading list! I love you Stormbringer/Rimlaine community, I hope you like it :)!

If you want to understand Fyodor of BSD you must:

✓ Read Brothers Karamazov, and pay attention to the chapter related to Ivan Karamazov; also read about "The Grand Inquisitor" (a topic that is discussed in the novel, but as a research topic it's interesting).

✓ Read Crime and Punishment and research abou "Napoleonic Complex": lower and higher beings.

✓ Understand how Dostoevsky reflects the devil in his literary characters vs how the gospel / the Bible sees him.

✓ MAYBE you need to read "The Demons" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. (I'm still working on it, but I'm sharing it by chance, I know I will find more helpful references)

NOTES: Asagiri-sensei said in an interview he used Ivan Karamazov's monologue with the gentleman (devil) in order to develop Dostoevsky's character. So if you are like me, a deist, who has not read the Bible at all and is unaware of the orthodox Christian gospel, It will be enough for you to simply read The Brothers Karamazov and understand how Fyodor Dostoevsky makes his characters question whether they believe in God and what is or is not allowed depending on whether one believes in Him.
