sorry for inactivity

work progression has been slow and i honestly js haven’t been doing too well. i’ve had a lot of trauma resurface recently and its been distracting me from getting anything done. ill get back to posting as soon as i can

can a therapist explain why my emotions from my ex fucking me while i was js laying there limp and crying makes me feel correlated to niragi

I miss you pre-borderlands niragi😭

imagine...

an AU where somebody else played queen of hearts before arisu could get to it and they killed mira in rage so now they're all stuck in borderlands until their visas run out what do yall think would happen?

HI GAY BOY!!!

im gonna touch you next tuesday.

i really wish we got more of them :(( they wouldve been best buddies istg AUGHHHH WHYD HE HAVE TO DIE when kuina and usagi had to literally drag arisu away from him in the manga that shit HURT

when you think of smthn for later on in the fic but you cant put it in just yet so you just type it somewhere random in the doc

lowkey wanna try mini writing prompt related asks. (nirashia or aib related ofc) drop some ideas please i might not end up actually doing them i just wanna test the waters :3

if i see another fucking bottom niragi fic on ao3 where it's not cute its just niragi getting fucking raped im actually gonna crashout this is giving me war flashbacks to an old moot i had in 2023 who got cancelled bc her group was posting about how 'pre borderlands niragi would be so easy and fun to rape' and how 'hed just let it happen like a little crybaby' like whay the fuck is wrong w u and all of the fics are written in a like fetishistic way like idgaf what any of you say thats WEIRD. and then half the comments r praising the work and talking abt how goonable it was like god please go to therapy

nono, you like chishiya because you see him as your smart little cinnamon roll, i like chishiya because he's a humanity-lacking, empty, selfish, pathetic asshole who lacks the ability to converse with and understand others so badly he feels practically nothing. i like chishiya because he's so fucking apathetic he doesn't even care that he might die- not because he's a 'chill guy' but because he is SO disinterested in life he doesn't see the value in living. i like chishiya because hes jealous of people who try hard because he knows damn well he could never be as human as them, because he knows there's something wrong with him. we are not the same tiktok chishiya fans. nono, you like niragi because you see him as your hot aggressive crime committer, i like niragi because he's been so traumatized by the things others have done to him he's become the thing he hates in a desperate attempt to feel like he deserved everything he went through. i like niragi because he puts up the facade of being all confident and mighty, drowning himself in the power he forces other people to give him with the goal of seeming less emotional and voiding himself of potential weak spots. we are not the same tiktok niragi fans.

HAPPY DBAY PSUHEEN !!!

goodmorning USA

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE MORE ?

please let me know !!! im leaning more towards the second option but i wanna know your guys opinion !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTNEY !!!

happy bday to one of my most talented moots ever !!!! i love your works and i hope you have a very amazing day <3 / @sharpsuite

Hope you’re still taking asks, got a few questions :3

Any extremelyyyy unpopular takes on aib?

If you were able to change one thing about aib(Netflix or manga your choice) what would you change?

What is your opinion on S3, do you have any theories?

Your FAVORITE moment or scene?

Do you have top 3 fav ships, if so what are they?

Of course !! I’m always open to asks ! :3 - Extremely unpopular take : I think you can like Niragi and hate Shibuki. When people talk about the SA characters they ALWAYS nitpick about this and it’s like oh my god shut up dude their whole character doesn’t rely on 1-2 things they did. “They’re basically the same bc they both SA’D” no they’re not tell me you watched the show without paying attention to the characters without telling me :sob: - One thing I would change about the Netflix adap. : Take out the unnecessary SA scene between Heiya and Arisu. That was so weird of them to just throw in and I think it really ruined Heiya for a lot of people. - My opinion on S3 : I think they’re going to partially follow RETRY. Considering how employed Arisu looks I’m going to assume this is somewhere in the future and judging by hearing Ann’s voice in the trailer we WILL be seeing the other mains (ones from the king of spades battle + niragi and chish). Though, it’s really hard to tell what’s going on considering the photo of Arisu and Usagi in their borderland outfits and some random dude in a wheelchair looking at the HUGE joker card. It leaves many questions unanswered and I might make a separate post about debunking it :) - FAVORITE moment or scene : For a lighthearted one, I think my favorite scene is probably from the manga, when Arisu asks Niragi why he shot Chishiya and he said “Should I have hugged him instead??” For a more serious one, probably Chishiya’s little speech to Arisu after getting shot. It hit hard in both the manga AND live action, but it was really interesting either way :3 - Top 3 fav ships : Nirashiya, Arisagi, and probably Kuiann or Kuzumira (or whatever its called) in that order ! AAA THANK YOU FOR THESE LOVELY ASKS !!! They were so fun to answer :))

when im highkey in love w bro but he has the most LETHAL face card ever and im just some dude teaching him piano and having to stare at his hands while i teach him for 30+ min a day is lowkey driving me insane

what do you think the adap butchered the most, compared to the manga? is there anything you think it did better, though? very curious since people have different takes on this

Definitely Niragi's character as well as the King of Diamonds ending. Niragi is self explanatory but the King of Diamonds ending pissed me off, making him decide the value of life even though his point was that he literally DIDN'T WANT TO. That got on my nerves I think they might've done the Tatta scene better ngl. Arisu finding him hit WAYYY harder than Tatta taking Arisu with him. It felt more shocking and it was more emotional that way, like the ominous slam of the containers followed by seeing Tatta's bloody hand was way more emotional to me than him straight up just asking. Thanks for the ask !!! This was a really good question ! :3

pathetic

I heard you wanted asks so 👀 i offer a variety.

What's one or two connections between characters that you would like to have seen explored more? Similarly, or could be different, is there a connection/bond you wished the fandom explored/acknowledged more as a whole? What about a character?

What game out of all, manga or live action, do you think you'd have the most FUN playing (excluding the death if losing)? If YOU were in the Borderlands, would you choose to try to find the Beach if you heard about it, or stick to yourself/with a small group? What would be the first thing you would do if everyone disappeared?

AAAAH YES an amazing ask from an amazing writer !! I REALLY wish Niragi and Chishiya's dynamic was explored more, especially in the live action. we didn't get nearly enough of them and especially not enough of how they view each other. With almost all the lines about the similarities they have being completely scrapped, little of their dynamic came to life and that's really disappointing :( I'd love to have seen them play a game together, especially a diamonds game. On the other note, I wish the fandom acknowledged Aguni and Heiya more !! Half the fandom shits on Heiya and the other half just calls Aguni buzzcut guy because they didn't find him relevant enough to learn his name !!! Like what the hell man, I think the relationship they had was really something special and it was cool to see Aguni become a sort of father figure and Heiya's admiration for him was honestly just adorable. I honestly think I'd have the most fun playing Tag / 5 of Spades ! Like I think it would be pretty fun to have a group of people and go looking around for the room. Seriously reminds me of games I used to play with my friends and cousins ! Next question, I would stick with a small group. Being alone in the borderlands is dangerous grounds and while it does almost give yourself a little shield from the possible misfortune of a hearts game (looking at you, 7 of hearts..), it doesn't really help your case much if you end up in a clubs or spades game with no one you know. The first thing I'd do if everyone disappeared ? Probably be almost EXACTLY like Arisu and be concerned for a bit, start dilly dallying, then go from LOL!!! to serious in 5 seconds once I saw a game venue. That about sums me up... THANK YOU FOR THESE AMAZING ASKS !!!! These were so fun to answer omg I love these questions :3

so like... who wanna give me some asks..

POST BORDERLANDS NIRAGI !! ★

bring back nerdy niragi in 2025 i need it PLEASEEE :(

hey

happy valentine’s day !

The term 'ship' is too vague. I don't think they should date i think they should be fucking regularly. I don't think they should date i think they should yearn for eachother endlessly but never have it be requited. I don't think they should date i think they should kiss one night and never talk about it again. I don't think they should date i think they should hate eachother so much that it turns into bottled up lust. I don't think they should date i think one of them should have a one-sided crush on the other. I don't think they should date i think they should have a situationship that ruins their lives. I don't think they should date i think they should stab eachother

chishiya, arisu, and niragi - their effects on me as someone who experienced severe depression

chishiya’s little confession to arisu always fucking gets me. call me selfish little shit all you want but i relate to him, niragi, and arisu so much. that realization and my connection to these three led to the alteration of my brain chemistry that literally ended up saving me from committing suicide.

because he was actually so fucking real i don’t care what you guys say. i lived so much of my life depressed wondering what the fuck was wrong with me (being autistic and having emotionally abusive & neglectful parents did NOT help with this), and hearing him talk about being small-minded and jealous and being always afraid just hit home. i was so jealous of everyone around me who just hit every little thing in life like it was a home run because when you become depressed at 8 and it doesn’t go away for a LONG time you start to be so fucking pissed about people who celebrate their every move. i pitied it but in reality i was just jealous because they all had that little life in them, that HUMANITY that i never experienced.

niragis whole character hit home like crazy for me. because of my inability to fit in with others i was bullied a lot by my classmates and picked on for what felt like no reason at all. i was, of course, jealous (which i refused to admit) and it drove me insane. i started to become the person i never wanted to be because the hatred drove me so fucking crazy i started to think i either had something seriously wrong with me or they made something seriously wrong with me and either way i was going to revel in it because there would be no fixing for someone like me. niragi hit extremely hard for me during this time, call me psychopath or whatever the fuck but i seriously related so much. he was just like me and it was comforting because even though he was so terrible it made me feel less alone.

finally, ep 8 of s2 when it was flashing back to his father asking him what his purpose in life was with that DEPRESSING ASS SONG in the background while he sobbed saying he doesn’t deserve to live broke me. that was the last fucking straw. all my selfishness and jealousy and anger and HATRED for everyone else just crumbled down on me and i didn’t want to live anymore because i felt like a selfish waste of space. it hurt and it hurt BAD. it was like somebody just took a knife, stabbed me straight in the heart a twisted a full 360.

these were very relatable characters for me, and i know i seem like an asshole for it, i don’t care. thats what real mental illness and effects of neglect / bullying / discouragement / everything looks like. they genuinely make me sob every time i see them because they’re actually me i see them and suddenly im that same scared little boy again. to this day those fireworks are STILL my favorite thing in the world and they mean everything to me. that was the scene that convinced me not to do it.

sorry i have a bone to pick with people who say that chishiya manipulated his way into winning against kuzuryu.

look at the difference. LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT CHANGED HIM. LOOK JUST FUCKING LOOK PLEASE IM GONN

AIB S3 TEASER IS OUT AND I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

THIS FIRE SCENE. RECOGNIZE IT??? THAT LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL 3 OF CLUBS FROM THE MANGA, THE FLAMING ARROWS GAME. IM SOSOSOSOS EXCITED TO SEE HOW THEY WORK THE ORIGINAL GAMES INTO THE STORY, ASSUMING THEY ARE !!

THEY'RE BACK IN THEIR ORIGINAL CLOTHES FROM BEFORE THEY LEFT BORDERLAND, BUT IN THE TEASER, THEYRE ALL WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES. ALSO, RANDOM DUDE IN WHEELCHAIR?? JUDGING BY THE HAIR AND THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A LEG INJURY IT MIGHT BE SOME KIND OF VERSION OF CHOTA, WHICH COULD MAKE SINCE, BECAUSE IN THIS SCENE THEYRE CLEARLY STILL IN BORDERLAND.

i am BEYOND excited for this new season. SOMEONE PLEASE HMU IN MSGS AND TALK TO ME ABT THIS BECAUSE OH MY GOD IM TWEAKING OUT

Imawa no Kuni no Alice "Alice in Borderland" | S01E06

Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

~~ Adapted from the manga series “Imawa no Kuni no Alice” by Haro Aso.

OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY HERE

“god, you’re so pretentious.” niragi retorts, shifting to elbow-butt the blonde to the side. the action is clearly playful, yet there’s a hint of genuineness in the shove- despite his sudden, rare sweetness, niragi still has half a mind to play a sort of deceitful game with him. honesty is typically NEVER fun for the raven; unless he gets a little entertainment out of it, of course..

seriously, what a stubborn, stubborn man.

“is that so?” chishiya’s back to his side now. well, not COMPLETELY to his side, but they’re pretty damn tight. niragi’s just a head turn away. there’s a faint smirk growing on his face, mischievous and condescending. “i think you like that.” niragi scoffs, turning sharp to face him with a hard thump of his feet ricocheting throughout the empty hallway. his knuckles fold around the chest of chishiya’s jacket- it’s not as much as he hopes for, but it’s a start. a tempting, curious promise. 

“you know, you shouldn’t wear your proclaimed OBNOXIOUSNESS like a badge of honor.”

chishiya’s ‘faint smirk’ has curled into an involuntary grin, just barely shuffling himself further into niragi’s grasp. a cold hand lifts up to slink around one of the raven’s wrists and niragi swears there’s a soft burn where his palm rests. he stares possessively down at him. 

“if it’s proclaimed by you? ill take it with pleasure.”

the words slide off his lips with that stupid, smug smile he prides himself on. niragi’s vaguely OFFENDED, though, he understands the feeling of the blonde’s awfully cold hands against his is a rarity he’s not willing to risk losing with the threat that hangs on the tip of his tongue. 

with an exasperated sigh, he swallows the cocky remark before he shifts his grip to chishiya’s hood, YANKING him down the corridor. 

there’s other ways for him to put him in his place.
