Today I'm going to see Melanie and I want her to sing Pacify Her so I can vent about the CHŪ-DAZ-SIG drama!! Wish me luck please! Greetings from MX
Arcane is simply wonderful, I haven't watched S2 yet, but I love the fact that the story is told from the characters' points of view and so there is no one who is right or wrong, because the characters are made very human and they make mistakes and get things right like everyone else. It's simply wonderful, but do you like Jinx or VI or another character? Honestly my favorite is Ekko and Viktor.
Do you know that russian site for fics ficbooknet?
If so, do you know where to ask for help to find a deleted fic?
I think it was only mentioned once, but I just love the fact that ObacChuuya is studying psychology. I just love that he's a psychology student. ♥️♥️💯🔥💋
It was such a random decision at first but I really think it fits him🤭 At first I briefly thought of making him a sports management student but that was a bit too…cliché. I wanted soccer to actually just be a hobby that he happens to be amazing at and not his entire personality and life purpose🙃 and psychology just seemed so fitting for some reason.
Do you watch arcane?
Did you hear that they're going to ban AO3?
Skippy You said Dazai has ADHD, funny I always interpreted that Obaczai has autism.
"So close, yet so far... Like December and January" I saw this quote on tik tok and remembered your Soukoku
Thanks for answering
I was getting heavily confused and was getting disappointed until I waslike "wait dum duck, ths is a series and this is the first part. Maybe it's an introduction"
And, ow. About Chuuya's scent, it's sad to think about, we've seen Dazai enjoy Chuuya's scent plenty of times, sad to know that he loves his scent because it reminds him of his childhood, and that he hates his scent because it reminds him of his childhood. Wonder if he maybe feels guilty? Since he's kinda insecure
Yeah I know kouyou it's not deep that much now, but she's still so interesting despite being a annoying fucking bitch hehe
Sorry if it came out as rude, I really hope it didn't. I feel you can feel frustration when reading it, and yeah I was a little frustrated hehe... But I wasn't gonna throw that to you. I asked questions I wanted to, but I hope it didn't come off as rude. That wasn't my intention
What are the moments in OBAC for you that truly highlights that Dazai does want or like Chuuya back? Or is it one-sided now (and possible even in the future?) 👀
I think that one moment where Dazai realizes that his friendship with Chuuya means so much to him now that he doesn’t want to ruin it in any way. Before Chuuya did what he did in ch15(?) Dazai felt like they could go on being friends if nothing disturbed their friendship, that includes romance and also a certain conversation he overheard between Chuuya and his dad.👀 But yeah, I think him feeling like that is the kind of foundation that any relationship should start with. When someone has become so important to you that you don’t care how, you just want to keep them in your life and you’re afraid to lose them.
I really loved this sigzai but I hope Skk is endgame ✊🏽😔
I also feel since Chuuya's not going after dazai anymore, that now his brain cells are all focused and working on the football tournament and that he has himself, his head and body, mentally and physically, buried on training hahaha
And it makes me giggle
What does chuuya do after practicing his kicking ball skills? Does he takes a nap and drinks a sweet coffee?
Does he even take a nap
There has been something going on my mind for a while
The place where Kouyou invited Yosano for a double date, you said it was going to be an important thing of the trama, yet it hasn't been mentioned, and the fic is about to end
I was thinking "there are still four chapters left, something can happen" but seeing the chapters you've been uploading, I'm starting to doubt a little, since they're normal size where only two things are happening
The main things of the plot from the start and so on that got us more and more hanged like Dazai's lore, Chuuya's lore, Kouyou's lore, hasn't been brought up again, just Dazai's one, and very slightly
You also said obac wasn't really sunshine fanfic, and even though is true, so far more stuff hasn't happened. I was just re reading the first chapters and went through the double date one and remembered what you said about the place, and I was like, "wait, but that place has been left forgotten", and with all this sigzai thing going on, much less
So I started to think so I'm gonna ask you, did you decide to leave the real shit, like the real real life changing drama, for the second part? And leaving the first part like some kind of introduction? For example, Dazai's dad (he fucking came to dazai's apartment, he will definitely do it again to keep tabs on him, and control him and all that stuff) and things like that
Kouyou's behaviour, she's a bitch but still an interesting bitch, especially as Chuuya's sister. They were raised up by different people and everything behind that it's interesting, and also how chuuya started to develop the feeling of pleasing Kouyou in how "an alpha must be". Wonder if it's because she was his older sister so it came naturally, or if there was something else behind
I don't think that all will be covered in the few chapters left, let alone with sigma taking spotlight now. Since he's not correlated at all with them. Since he started to appear more with his "o want to date dazai too", these things were going more to the background to the point it doesn't feel the same as in the start when we were getting to know chuuya and lately, Kouyou. Since it was always charged with a little perk of curiosity, their behaviour and all
Also dazai's view of the world and alphas, that's how he came to the city, so we wanted to see how it was gonna be for him with a vision like that in a place where such things are not like in his town
(Though he changed it a little quick XD)
So I wonder if it is because that all will be covered up in the second part? And this was like some introduction for the real, real thing?
I'm also very curious about how will that place come again and be important in the plot. Not only the obvious of being such a weird place where everything that dazai hates comes to life, but also that Kouyou is so full of that shit that she goes to such PRIVATE places (how does she knows abt them? Rich privilege? and drags chuuya with her 🤔
Yes, I guess you could say that OBAC is more of an introduction. The way I think of it is that we often meet people or encounter things by total chance and don’t even realize how they change the trajectory of our life until several months/years later. Like a new chapter that begins without any warning. OBAC is the beginning of that chapter and I believe it is also going to be a smaller work compared to the next part tho don’t take my word for it as I’m still outlining part 2.
As for Dazai changing quickly, I believe I mentioned on my CC about a year ago or so (which is now lost forever) that Dazai has undiagnosed ADHD which I don’t usually describe in much detail because it’s really not meant to be the focus of things, just something that he happens to have, and there’s this theory about object permanence where for example you might not really miss someone or even not think of them if they are not currently in your life. Dazai experiences this in the sense that his father is several travel hours away and the longer he lives alone, the less he really thinks about his parents and the people from his village. The effect that being away from all that, physically and mentally, has on him is that he is very subconsciously starting to give in to this new, more open and accepting environment. His hostility has cooled down which allowed Sigma, whom he already likes a lot as a person because he’s a ‘omega-feminine’ alpha, to break through his walls. Chuuya couldn’t really get that far because he still struggles with his own toxic alpha tendencies and because he reminds Dazai a lot of his childhood home (e.g. through his scent).
But even though he actually started dating an alpha for the first time doesn’t mean that Dazai is just feeling all peachy about it, I would even say that he’s finding a bunch of new problems he has with it. We will see.
As for Kouyou, I still have plans for her and we barely scratched the surface of who she is. Right now she’s not super fleshed out and almost like a caricature and it’s because it’s still Dazai telling the story.
It’s hard to answer these things without spoiling too much so I hope I have made a few things clearer for you, but yeah we still have a whole lot of stuff to get through and it will not all be covered in the remaining 4 chapters of part 1.
So... I just finished reading OBAC in its entirety. I didn't sleep (it's that good) in fact I just finished it. And I'm shaking from withdrawal. You write amazingly, I was expecting something and then suddenly there was a twist. And all the longing and the hurt and the pining. And the smut... Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can hardly wait to know everything. And the thought of there still being a second part has me shaking. Greetings from Mexico.
