Solution 1:

You can use box-decoration-break: clone; then consider an SVG filter to make the effect better.

Update the stdDeviation variable to controle the shape:

.works_title {
  display: inline;
  padding: 4px 6px;
  line-height:1.4; /* adjust this to avoid overlapping the padding */
  font-size: 28px;
  font-weight: 700;
  color: aliceblue;
  background-color: red;
  border-radius: 4px;
  box-decoration-break: clone;
  -webkit-box-decoration-break: clone;
  filter: url('#instagram');
}
.no-filter {
  filter:none;
}

body {
  max-width: 250px;
}

<div class="works_title">Something longlike a title with bunchofletters a more text</div>
<br>
<br>
<div class="works_title no-filter">Something longlike a title with bunchofletters a more text</div>

<svg style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute;" width="0" height="0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
    <defs>
        <filter id="instagram">
            <feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" stdDeviation="5" result="blur" />    
            <feColorMatrix in="blur" mode="matrix" values="1 0 0 0 0  0 1 0 0 0  0 0 1 0 0  0 0 0 20 -8" result="goo" />
            <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" in2="goo" operator="atop"/>
        </filter>
    </defs>
</svg>
