I don't know if anyone will see this and you prob dont know me but 🥲
14.02(valentines day)
Edgar had already finished his classes for the day. He was now going back there to pick up Ranpo and do random stuff since there wasn't any plan for it. The young writer arrived at the school and waited for the other to finish last class.
After standing there for a bit he saw his shorter friend leaving through the door. Edgar waved and Ranpo responded with same.
-Hey ed!
-Hello Ranpo
-Where are we going? I'm hungry.
-Maybe we can go to the store behind school. I wanted to buy some flowers too.
-Alright, let's go!
They left through the gate and made their way to the shop. After few minutes of walking and talking they arrived at the store. They entered and imidietly saw the flower stand and walked over to it.
-Ranpo look, they have my favorite flowers- Edgar said as he pointed at a bouquet yellow tulips.
-Oh cool! But why did you wanted to buy flowers anyway?
-oh! I wanted to put them on the living and give them to my mom.
-Mhm. Let's go get food now.
They strolled into an aile with baked goods and started looking around.
-Hey ed! How about we get some donuts? Look at the pink ones, they have heart sprinkles on top! Let's get those.
-Okay let me get a bag- He walked away for a few seconds and came back with a paper bag- How many are we taking?
-hmm... 4! 2 for you and 2 for me. I just need to count if I have enough money.
-I can pay for them. Dont worry.
-Realy? Thank youu- Ranpo smiled widely
They took donuts and flowers and made their way to the cashier. After paying they left the shop.
-Where are we going now?-Ranpo asked
-We can go sit at the rocks over there.
-Good idea:)
They sat on the rocks. Edgar put the flowers on the ground next to their bags. Ranpo handed Edgar one of the donuts and started eating his own.
-Mhm! They're realy good.
-I know I tried them before- Ranpo said.
Ed looked at the flowers.
-hm. I have an idea.
He tried grabbing the bouquet without getting up and after some struggling he made it. He pulled out on of the tulips and handed it to the other male.
-There you go. For you- Ed said with a smile.
-Thank you- He took the flower from his hand.
-How about we take some photos? We can share them in the group chat later.
-Sure.
-Oh no, my phone died.
-We can use my phone- He gave Poe his phone.
-Alright
They posed for the pic with donuts and flowers. Ranpo tried to cover his face with his hair but failed while Ed's face for once was visible.
-I look like on crack- Edgar commented after seeing his face in the photo. Ranpo took his phone back to send the pictures.
-Are we still sending them on the chat?
-Yep-Ranpo quickly opened the chat- What are we typing?
-Maybe something like ' Platonic date with..' and then you'll tag me?
-Mhm- Ranpo wrote it down- Is it correct?
-Yep.
-Okay.
Few minutes later one person replied_the others were propably busy_
>Omg, You both look so pretty. (to reader: pick any character)
<Thank you♡.-They both replied from Ranpo's account.
Ran already finished second donut and have the bag with the last one to Poe
-Thanks, I'll finish it later.
-Yeah, let's go now. Its cold.
They gathered their stuff making sure they hadn't left any litter behind.
-Do you have everything?... Let's go- Edgar turned to start walking but left a tug on his sleve he looked into the dirention of his 'friend' he felt lips press again his cheek.
-Thank you for donuts and flower and the whole time.
-Y-you're welcome- Edgar said with a slitly red face.-L-let's go now.
They spent the rest of their way home on talking about anything
-Do you want to walk me home?-Ranpo asked when they walked up to the place they would've parted ways.
-Sure. Lead the way.
Few minutes of walking they were at Ranpo's door step as always there were cats around and Ran imidietly went to pet them.
-Alright. I'll be going. I have some stuff to do.
-Okay! Bye bye.
-Bye, I'll try not to get lost-Ed said as he vanished behind the corner. (he isn't in that part of the city often)
His way home was calm he listened to some music on headphones and finished his donut. He got home safely and after that day had more outings like that and made the rocks their official meeting spot.
The end
Fic also on ao3: carrotwall
HOLY OMG
Rest of the comic is under the cut, because LONG :0
Also! Content warnings for body horror, guns, blood(although in black and white) and just...horror in general tbh
Operation "Fall of the Hooded Hawk": For situations where one half of skk has to shoot without having clear vision, and relies on the direction of their partner. In this case, Chuuya was giving Dazai coordinates of where to fire by tapping against his ear. (It's kind of like a trust fall)
I scripted a whole followup conversation with more explanation of what exactly the mirror was, and just general context, but this comic has gotten so long that I'm gonna write that as a short scene in prose, because it's mostly dialogue and if I try to draw it all then I think my hands will secede from my body lol — I'll probably be able to get that done in the next couple of days. But in the meantime, thanks for reading! :D
I forgot that the headmaster is a person and can be buried...
Odasaku, Sasaki, and the orphanage headmaster are all buried in the same cemetery.
So Kunikida, Atsushi, and Dazai all run into each other grave visiting regularly and politely pretend they don’t. They never acknowledge the meaning behind the bouquets brought, even if all of them know the others know flower language. They never acknowledge the tear streaks down Atsushi’s face, or the solemn look on Kunikida’s. Atsushi never points out how the scent of whiskey is always a bit stronger on Dazai’s coat. They never acknowledge the location of their accidental meetings.
Sometimes Kunikida might offer to take them to get food, or Atsushi will offer a random hard candy from his pocket, on colder days Dazai might lend his coat. None of them are really themselves when faced with grief, and none of them will to hold it against each other.
Wait-
If kajii and orphanage director both have similar haircut, does that mean that atsushi could've thought at some point that they're the same person?
I mean... They do look similar...
I love the ganymede desing, idk why its so simple but i love it. Also love the comic, amazing
Cloudysseus part 5 - Poseidon being Grumpy as usual. Also I personally find the third panel kinda cute, so intimate. Poor cloudy Forgot to mention that Gods and Ody designs are from Neal illustrator, as always <3
the odysseus curse
You know *some* but not all of this if you read my fics...
It began when I headcannon'ed Will Solace as smelling like medicinal herbs. I then stumbled across Echinacea.
Echinacea is a coneflower with a Greek name and usage. It smells like honey and had medicinal properties, like soothing colds <3. AKA it's a lot like Will Solace. Also, bonus, it comes in a yellow variety (little yellow flowers! for Will! When he sings! Flower gleam and glow~) and a white variety called-- no joke-- Fragrant Angel. I kid you not. So they can both be angels.
Also it is literally in THE SUNFLOWER FAMILY, Heliantheae
Therefore, Will Solace smells like Echinacea, which smells like honey. Cute.
And then, seperately, I read about the African Death's-head Hawkmoth, a black-and-yellow moth with a SKULL SHAPE on the thorax. Also, the scientific name is Acherontia atropos, referring of course to the Greek River Acheron, the entrance to the underworld. Atropos refers to the Greek goddess, who is one of the Fates, of course being another symbol for death.
So that's basically Nico di Angelo, right?!
Despite these moths being totally harmless to people (Nico is actually a sweet person with a good heart) the fancied skull pattern has given them a negative reputation, such as associations with the supernatural and evil. (Everyone thinks of Nico as scary and creepy bc he is the son of Hades)
Now, guess what these death's-head hawkmoths primarily eat?
Honey.
And, as a bonus, they also drink the nectar from flowers, primarily Solanaceae (which, yes, has the same word origin as Solace) and sometimes even... Heliantheae. The sunflower family.
TLDR; In another universe, Will Solace is Echinacea and Nico di Angelo is the Acherontia atropos
Or a moth and honey/nectar.
I rest my case.
