see, like, sometimes i see bsd fans commenting about how it's weird for asagiri to make the tanizaki siblings incestuous or the whole lolicon gag with mori and elise but the thing is both of those things are based on the real life tanizaki junichiro and mori ougai's works

naomi is, of course, based on the novel naomi, a story about a man who groomed a young girl into a westernized woman and it ends up with her turning the table by dominating his life. which is why the junichiro in the manga is unable to say no to his sister. while the irl work is mostly a commentary about the cultural change in taisho period, the siblings in the manga focuses on the unhealthy relationship of the protagonist jouji and naomi. you might find it disgusting and that's okay. but the character dazai is also created based on the real dazai osamu's uncomfortable depiction of humanity's ugliness. it just doesn't make sense to allow one depiction but not the other.

elise is named after the love interest in the dancing girl, but the power that creates her is named after the real mori ougai's erotic novel that is secretly about his own sexual experiences. you can argue that there is no need for elise to be a child because the character in the dancing girl isn't one, and vita sexualis itself is more about the author-slash-protagonist's struggle with having sexual desires in a society that champions moral purity.

but the thing is elise isn't even a fanservice character. she isn't depicted as someone the audience should find desirable for one. when it comes to lolicon fanservice you can expect either excessive depiction of innocence or at the very least elise getting jealous when mori gives attention to someone else. but even her mocking is just that, mocking. we were never shown her returning mori's affection even in a tsundere way.

the biggest hint is actually the fact that in beast au, a timeline where mori gives up his position as the mafia boss, elise is an adult. it shows that the child form of elise is symbolic of mori's desire to control those with the power he wants to obtain i.e. dazai and yosano. it's so much easier to gain power over other when they're a child and you're the authority figure, after all. so when he no longer chases after that ambition, elise becomes an adult.

tldr; asagiri didn't necessarily make tanizaki siblings and elise for the sake of fanservice but it's definitely because he actually pays attention to the literature that inspires him

The way that abilities are percieved in Bungou stray dogs is so facinating to me because its clear that they’re painted by people in a very negative light, you can even imply that its considered shameful to have one.

That is so intriguing. The war and the ability users in it caused other gifted people to realise they’d be seen as a threat. It effected everyone, and still does by the main timeline of bsd. You can understand why the Port Mafia went off the rails, because they had more skill users joining them. It makes the Agency’s dynamic so much more serious, if that’s the only place where they can feel safe using their gifts.

I find it funny if when time come for the mafia to choose a member of the ADA to go to the PM who he choose end up doing fairly mundane stuff, instead of being forced to break their moral they have an excellent time here.

Like kunikida being in charge of both the mafia and mori corporation paperwork sure it's not without angst as it conflict with his ideal but he won't lie that he don't appreciate working with peoples who are always on times and efficient ( it's even more funny if suspicious ADA workers follow kunikida everywhere expecting him to suffer and he's just doing paperwork or ranting about dazai with chuuya).

Or Kenji being placed on chuuya's squad with his cow, he eat very well and have many excentric idea for the mafia to mori's horror.

You also have fukuzawa treating his time with the mafia like a retirement, mori have him in charge of training the recruit about martial art and swordmanship ( he teach chuuya how to swordfight to dazai's horror ( chuuya end up being really creative to make dazai suffer with a sword), he's often sparing with mafia members like chuuya and kouyou.

But also ranpo being assigned with chuuya who by the advice or kouyou, Verlaine, hirotsu or even mori took to stress baking so ranpo get to judge all the product (+ mafia members or their family or their family gifting foods to chuuya which may or not be part of ranpo's plan to have them give food to chuuya that ranpo get to eat.)

You can even have the tanizaki siblings ( or even haruno) learning way to be stronger like Naomi or haruno cheerfully learning way to do poison or dazai using this time to do maximum prank on mori even meeting kazuo dan and befriending him or making bet with chuuya while he wait for his record to be purged or kouyou deciding to spoil kyouka while she's here.

Or even atsushi who while he's not doing odd jobs is training and competing with ryuunosuke and winning over pm member like hirotsu and having a rivalry with kouyou (+ profiting fully of the port mafia cafeteria (with enough point you can even get anything that you want, it's the best chasuke that he ever had and his new salary is really a good perk ( he even have free insurance.)

+ add the mafia regretting their choice as the ADA are a walking headache like if kenji convinced the mafia to unionize or start a new crazy project like a pizzeria or kunikida lecturing mori about what he buy for elise with mafia money and how it's a waste of money , fukuzawa adopt some mafia members like chuuya ( especially when chuuya got him a cat that he found in the street ) and is determined to get them in the ADA + ranpo plot to get as much sweet as he want or some ADA members unconsciously like Kenji and atsushi ( or fully aware of what they're doing) convince several mafia members to leave their jobs.

Especially because the agency members that went to the mafia is lobbying to make an equivalent exchange and have the mafia members that they want temporally stay with the ADA ( kyouka want gin , the tanizaki want their port mafia's partner higuchi for naomi and tachihara for jun'ichiro, kunikida want ryuunosuke ( he got surprinsingly close with mafia members like hirotsu and chuuya but he have a special bond with ryuunosuke, ranpo ( and dazai even if the later say that it's to annoy chuuya) want chuuya and others ADA members have someone else in place) to mori's headache.

In the end the ADA members who left got their full salary with a bonus for the number and difficulty of mission ( and others works that they did) which is a not so subtle bribery for them to leave and never come back that the ADA doesn't listen to (to be fair some members like Kenji just doesn't get this message others just like to make mori miserable amongst others reasons)

Im showing my friend bungou stray dogs and his reactions are GOLD

“Her name is ✨incest girl✨”

“Why is EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW AUTISTIC???”

“…so chuuya tops, yeah?”

“HIS SISTER WIFE JUSR DIED!”

“Theres so much gunfire in this city, rent must be SO CHEAP”

“Man these bitches talk TOO MUCH! I’d be the best mafia person bc i have adhd! Oops, i shot them in their monologue! Anyway-“

“SHOOT! SHOOT HIM! PLEASE GOD DONT LET HIM MONOLOGUE”

[asagirisfavpen]

I said it before and I will say it again. The one to be transferred to the Mafia is Fukuzawa. He's just the most fit for it.

It's not Dazai, because Mori is not stupid. Dazai rejoining the Mafia, especially through this agreement, would be the end of the Mafia. Besides, it would destroy his whole character and evolution.

It's not Yosano, Fukuzawa made it clear. That woman is not stepping foot in the Mafia's buildings.

It's not Kunikida, his ideals simply don't allow it. It would be stupid of Mori to choose him. Kunikida is not afraid to die, he would rather die than go against his ideals. And yes, I'm counting Kunikida as alive cuz I refuse to believe him or Kenji or Tanizaki or Teruko are dead. Asagiri is still a fucking coward.

It's not Atsushi either. He's supposed to be the good guy. The one that brings ppl to light not the one that moves to the dark. Besides, he's in the Mafia in Beast so I don't think he should be there in this universe too.

It's not Kyouka because a) she's useless for Mori now and b) Kouyou will personally kill Mori is he chooses Kyouka.

It's not Kenji, he just isn't. His ability is useless for Mori and his mind set is just not what Mori wants.

It's not Tanizaki cuz it's too obvious. He just said "then I'll go" and nobody protested or anything. This transfer is supposed to he something more (because of the lack of words) dramatic. Yes, his ability and down-for-murder attitude fit the Mafia, but it's just not him. It just feels wrong. I do agree he's second most likely to join tho. (Plus if he joins the Mafia literally every1 would mistake him for Tachi tbh)

It's not Ranpo cuz a) no ability, b) the second he steps foot in the hq the Mafia is doomed, c) he doesn't take orders, he's useless for the mafia and d) he's loyal to Fukuzawa until the day he dies and after. Any word he hears in there is going to Fukuzawa within 10 seconds.

I'm not even counting Naomi and Haruno in. Not even Naomi's bg that's coming now can make me change my mind on this. No matter how deep or dark their past is, they don't have abilities, the Mafia barely knows about their existence and Tanizaki would kill Mori if he chose Naomi.

And we're left with Fukuzawa. And honestly he makes most sense. Especially after this arc. Because he's not risking losing any of the ADA members after this. He's not risking it. Besides, he's a former assassin, his skill is wanted in the Mafia. His ability would be helpful for Mori, they could skip any possible ability trainings for new members. He's known Mori for a decade and he worked for him before as a bodyguard. (I lowkey think that Mori will use Fukuzawa as a bodyguard for a while just because he can, like beastzai did with Beastchuuya, but unlike Chuuya Fukuzawa won't give a shit. He saw it coming). And Natsume would definitely like Fukuzawa there to keep Mori "in check", to keep an eye on him. Plus, if Fukuzawa leaves the ADA, both Atsushi and Kyouka will lose control over their abilities and that would benefit the Mafia as the ADA would be even weaker.

And do y'all remember that episode/OVA when Aya first appears? Ranpo and Dazai said it, Kunikida is Fukuzawa's succesor. Why mention it if Fukuzawa keeps the position during the entire show? No, we will have Kunikida as ADA's president. And Chuuya was put there by Asagiri so the Mafia will know who the ADA's next leader is, so they'll know who they'll be fighting against.

In conclusion, Fukuzawa will be the one to be transferred to the Mafia after this arc ends. Argue with the wall

[pegging-satan]

Ok random headcanons <3

since Sigma ran Sky Casino he was really good at dealing and shuffling and nifty tricks like that so back at the agency he does his fancy card tricks and shuffles to entertain them.

Everyone, especially Kyouka, Kenji, Ranpo, Atsushi, Junichiro and Naomi are completely spellbound by him and watch his moves like ✨o✨

As a side hustle he gets his nails done in very cute whimsical styles and runs a YouTube channel where he does like card shuffling asmr or something and it’s moderately successful because he has beautiful hands and some people are way into that.

He is also their guy when then agency and mafia have like game nights and feel like gambling a little.

Yosano and Kouyou are making very sexually charged eye contact and everyone around the table is just like 👀

“they’re either going to be at each other’s throats or someone’s waking up in the other’s bed tomorrow” Dazai says and Chuuya nods.

They’re both a little scared.

Kunikida is sitting awkwardly with Kajii who’s trying to convince him to bomb the place and run away with the money.

Fitzgerald, Mori, Fyodor and Fukuzawa are at the big bois table, engaging in big brain high stakes gambling, because they can, and they mean business.

Fukuzawa does not want to be there, he’s not that kinda guy, his boyfriend made him do this, and is internally panicking.

He is winning.

The kids are somewhere else having a game night of their own. Atsushi, Lucy and Akutagawa are playing Mario Kart and are at each other’s throats constantly.

Steinbeck is teaching Kenji, Kyouka and Kyusaku how to play Stardew Valley.

Tachihara, Higuchi, Gin and Mark are playing COD.

Junichiro, Naomi, Louisa, Edgar, Ranpo, Margaret and Nathaniel are playing monopoly.

Ed is in jail.

Hirotsu, Oda and Ango Are Babysitting them.
