Love The Pirate Aesthetic That's Just "belts In Every Conceivable Place Where A Belt Shouldn't Be"

And when the seas took me, I went down with the ship.

(YES I have a dog!! He's my angel and my companion in my writing endeavors (aka he curls up in my bed and watches me cycle through endless drafts for hours lol))

Hiiiiii i hope u r doing well ummm i've got some questions if its not a bother soooooooo , is there a chapter or a scene ahead in the story that you r nervous about ( i dont know if someone has asked this question before ) and are we geetting any kousano in the future chapters ♡(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)♡

Hi!! Of course it's not a bother!

There are a few scenes I'm nervous about and one of them pertains to Dazai's backstory. Lately I've been outlining how it's going to be weaved into the story and as I was going through my notes it suddenly hit me that I've never written anything as tragic before, at least not to that degree. So I'm nervous about how the finished product will look like and the reaction.

And then there's the second thing, which is that there will eventually be content (as promised in the tags) that will cause the fic to have a change in content rating and that's definitely something I've never written before.

However, despite being nervous, I'm also looking forward to the challenge!

As for the kousano content, I'm sorry to say that there will only be breadcrumbs at best. I did toy with the idea of making it a tagged ship in the beginning, but once I planned out the story, it didn’t end up fitting the narrative.

like wine.

Hello honeybumi!

How much of the story have we covered so far? Like are we somewhere in the first half, second half etc

Waiting for the next update like my life depends on it❤️

Hello!!

We are about a third of the way into the story! So we're basically entering the second act now that Ango is officially forming part of the cast and there's a LOT to cover in this part. The first part focused on Chuuya getting himself integrated with the happenings of the crew and now that Ango is here we're finally getting some answers!!

what was your inspiration to write the story?

(btw loved the update! you’re a great writer. i recently reread the whole thing and i just love how well everything flows together)

Hi! First off, thank you <3

The idea of pirate skk had actually been on my mind since late 2022-early 2023 (I know this because I have a note on my notes app dated 1/1/23 that says "Pirate AU: skk" and nothing else lol)

But it wasn't until October-November of 2023 that I really dove into it. I had just finished watching all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and OFMD, which is how I came to learn of "matelotage" which were same-sex unions that pirates often engaged in. That term combined with the fact that pirates are seen as symbols of freedom and rebellion got my gears turning.

I mean, gay pirates just made sense, you know?

How are you doing? <3

Amazing now that I'm about to get a LOT more free time!! I was drowning in work these past few weeks, I'm so relieved that's over now

I'll be more active on here!! And ao3 of course :D

don't want to write I want to think very hard about my fic until it emerges from my head fully formed like athena

Ok so after reading ur fic for the 27th time i've decided that dazai likes to hold chuuya's wrist .............. (it'll shift to hand AMEN.) NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY DELUSIONAL MIND GO AWAY!!!!!

Aaahh do you guys really revisit the fic this often?? I'm so flattered!!

Lol you bet it will!! It might take some time for it to happen but it WILL shift to hand holding!!!

fake ass idgafer. I saw you gazing off into the distance like you were looking at something far away, something no one else could see but you
