Batfurss - Bat

i haven't seen any posts about it this summer so im making my own. if you live on the east coast of the US (particularly pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, or maryland) and you see a bug that looks like this:

(and report it to your state's department of agriculture if you're in an area without a known infestation, check here)

spotted lanternflies are pretty, but they're invasive and super destructive, for more info check out your state's department of agriculture !!

there's small tidbits in a lot of the ADA light novels, like daily life at the detective agency and 55 minutes and I'm sure in other places as well. I believe in entrance exam it's also explicitly mentioned that making sure dazai doesn't off himself is one of the tasks he's given, but don't quote me on that

and in 55 minutes atsushi is amazed at how kunikida is so used to watching over him that completely unphazed by most of dazai's antics (he thinks this while dazai is rolling away in a trash can. I so badly want to see 55 minutes animated solely because dazai is in a trash can for 80% of his screen time. bless.)

Do you know where the info that kunikida regularly checks up on dazai comes from? I've seen people mention it's canon and I thought it was in the entrance exam novel, but apparently it's not, and I really like that piece of lore so hopefully it's actually canon :(

unfortunately I don’t know where it’s from, I’d assume it’d be from entrance exam, but if you didn’t find it there then maybe it was from some interview with asagiri? sorry that I don’t have any definitive answers

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

Kermit for pope

I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest

Imagine Chuuya's first thoughts about Akutagawa just like

16!Chuuya: he's so the. He's like a sopping wet cat. The little meepy.

And Dazai is just like

16!Dazai: this kid is deplorable. His thoughts are dark. He is a killing machine.

16!Chuuya: but if he's deadly then why do I want to take him home and give him soup and squeeze his cheeks

writing a cover letter is just like: here is my worksona she has no mental illnesses and hates breaks! i would like to larp her for 40 hours a week with full pay and benefits

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

Dazai: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate or manwhore our way out of it this time.

Chuuya, cracking his knuckles: Manslaughter it is.

Concept: Atsushi using Kunikida’s notebook to keep a journal of sorts.

He was hesitant to write in it at all given how important it is to Kunikida.

But he figured that when… if he returns that Kunikida would want to be updated about what’s been going on.

And he’d want it to be in his notebook.

The entries are always short because Kunikida always valued efficiency and Atsushi would hate to take up more room than he already has.

He always has the date and time clearly titled above before summarising the events thus far. His own thoughts bleed through the pages, his worries and his fears and his hopes.

As if he’s writing letters to the great beyond knowing they will probably never be read. He tries to imagine what Kunikida would reply to each one.

How Dazai would be grinning over his shoulder and tear it out of his hands to read. How they’d argue for hours and still give him all the advice he needs.

He apologises to no one when his tears stain the pages.

At some point Atsushi is able to access the now boarded up and abandoned Agency office. His hand shakes as he makes a note about medications Yosano’s had in stock that have expired and need replacing.

He spends 2 days just scrubbing the place like he was back in the orphanage. There’s no electricity so Atsushi makes a note that’ll need paying as he grabs a dustpan and sweeps.

He takes inventory and makes to do lists about what needs doing and uses the numbers Kunikida wrote down. The names and contacts of cleaners and builders who had always aided them when things go wrong.

They only ever pick up to scream at Atsushi for being a monster and to never call again. He neatly crosses them out and writes “I’m sorry” under each one.

He reads the older pages before bed. Old to do lists and ideals and principles and a schedule that was always so organised at erratic at the same time.

He falls asleep thinking of better days in a room that’s not his dorm and lays the notebook beside him.

Telling Kunikida, wherever you are…goodnight.
