Verlaine Betrayed Rimbaud Because Asagiri Knew That Happy Domestic Rimlaine + Chuuya Would Result In

Verlaine betrayed Rimbaud because Asagiri knew that happy domestic Rimlaine + Chuuya would result in Verlaine's maternal instincts switching on, and that's more devastating than Guivre itself.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

There's a Pearl Steven Universe to Verlaine Bungo Stray Dogs pipeline but don't ask me to explain it because I cannot. (I can) But there is a vision.

Something Something Do It For Her but with Gin

I genuinely despise how much the bsd fandom has just become this cesspit of people spitting on the franchise every time something else comes out. I don't understand why you would willingly indulge in something just to hate it so much. Like yes, bsd has it's flaws just like any other piece of media, but this is still something being written by an actual person and doesn't deserve to be treated like it's garbage. I see so many people saying that bsd is a horrible disrespect to the original works while they turn around and call Asagiri a lazy writer who can't do anything right, as if he's not also a writer. (Not to mention that the characters are mostly based on the interpretive characters in the authors' fictional works, not the authors themselves.) Because of it's slow releases, I think people forget a lot of plot or create their own version of it in their heads and then throw a fit when it doesn't go the way they made up. Bungo is so clearly work of art made of so much love and passion, and deserves to be respected as such.
