I wonder who Aya's talking about 🤔

Been watching BSD with Japanese audio recently. More specifically, Wan and some of the audio dramas (highly recommend checking these out! This is the playlist I watched.) I find the difference between the way Chuuya and Dazai speak very interesting to me. This may be some base level observations to a native Japanese speaker, but I'd thought I'd share what I noticed. I'm not an expert by any means, so correct me if you see any mistakes!

So, first of all, Chuuya. He has a very masculine and vulgar way of speaking. He refers to himself as "Ore" (俺), which is typically used among teenage boys and is considered masculine and informal. Macho man kind of stuff. On top of that, he rolls his r's a lot, which is also considered very masculine and improper, similar to how a delinquent would talk. I don't necessarily think Chuuya is being overtly manly to the point of toxic masculinity, more so just him trying to be cool and assertive while he was with the Sheep, and then it just kinda stuck. You have to keep in mind that he grew up on the streets, and as the Sheep's leader and protector, it was his job to come across as powerful to keep them safe, so he may have spoke like that to try and intimidate their enemies. Overall, Chuuya's speech is very brash, aggressive, and masculine.

Dazai, on the other hand, is quite formal when he speaks. He refers to himself as "Watashi" (わたし) which is used in formal situations and could be considered slightly feminine. There is something to be said about gender here and how Dazai might identify, but that's another topic for another time. For now, I'm focusing on what this tells us about Dazai's personality, not his gender identity (though I am a huge fan of gender-fuckery Dazai). It's a more passive way of referring to oneself, like Dazai is taking a backseat in the conversation and wanting to seem harmless. Maybe a way of subtly manipulating the situation, maybe he simply doesn't want to exist or be perceived in this world, maybe a bit of both.

Another interesting thing is the way they refer to each other. Chuuya often calls Dazai "Temee" (手前) which is a very vulgar way of saying "you." It could equate to calling someone "bastard." Very, very rude, but that makes sense because Chuuya does NOT like Dazai. He also uses this on other people when they're being idiots, (ahem, Kajii), but it's usually reserved for Dazai. You would definitely never hear him use it for Kouyou, that's for sure. (Whom he calls Ane-san, btw! It's a formal way of saying "big sister," but it's also a common way of referring to a woman of power/ female superior in the mafia).

With Dazai, it's a little more complicated. In Japan, it's considered rude to refer to some as "you" so directly, similar to how it's considered rude to point at someone. So, usually, people will refer to someone as their name with some kind of honorific (-kun or -san, for some examples) that matches their status or by a title. Dazai does this with Kunikida by calling him "Kunikida-kun" or with Fukuzawa by calling him "Shachou" (meaning president in this context).

But with Chuuya, it's simply "Chuuya." Not "Chuuya-san" or even "Chuuya-kun." ("Chuuya-kun" happens a couple times, I believe, but it's rare). Dazai is purposely choosing to leave out any honorific here just to be disrespectful. It's not vulgar by any means like Chuuya's "Temee." Dazai isn't a very vulgar person, as seen by the fact he rarely swears, but he is going out of his way to choose the least polite option for the formal type of speech that he uses. He won't swear at Chuuya, but he will imply that he is somehow not worthy of having an honorific attached to his name when Dazai is speaking to him.

I just thought this was fascinating. Even their way of referring to themselves or others tells you a lot about their personalities. Chuuya isn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it's considered improper or aggressive, and it even gives a nod towards his upbringing on the streets. Dazai, on the other hand, is very purposeful with his language, and every word he uses has meaning. But he also can't resist being a little shit when it comes to Chuuya, doing whatever he can to tease him.

Again, I'm not fluent in Japanese in any way, so if a person who knows a little more about this sees something wrong with what I said, feel free to let me know! Or even add your own observations! I'd love to chat about this.

Something about having to take care of Chuuya after corruption.

POLL RESULTS.

—Especially during aftermaths are the most peaceful people could've ever been... Sample being right now; you and this injured lover of yours lie defeat on that lap, Chuuya. Earlier who was dropped off with his subordinates attached clear drawn scars that tattooed around all over the mafioso's weak body. A weak body that, you so generously and with affectionate to love took care of in those kind and home hands. Rubbed alcohol and stain of covered bandages to massage after. Wipe off the scratches then blood marks used ice packs. He stuffs a groan, amazed of the work put into healing, "..Y'er just never intimidated, huh?"

"I mean, well, it's beautiful. That kind of beauty... Would never ever scared me."

He snorts. "Corruption... Beautiful? I have no control on what'll I do. For worst case scenario, I could've hurt you, dammit! It's one of my worst moments... Always."

Is what you disagree. "Chuuya, please, love, look at me. Don't worry!" You issued a sweet smile. To heal that perplexed look on his face full of nothing but doubt and low self worth. Held together hands, "Our worst moments don't make us monsters."

Skk and their little girl

[anticidic]

Teen!skk again with their silly nonsense: this time Chuuya using Dazai as a way for him to lift weights

Whenever it's leg day, Chuuya will set a mat out on the floor and lie down with his legs in the air and Dazai will balance on top of his feet and Chuuya just. does leg reps with Dazai as Dazai's struggling not to laugh every time he looks down at Chuuya's face

it's taken them several times to get the position down because it actually requires a lot of balance and sometimes arm strength on Dazai's behalf if he's also steadying himself with Chuuya's hands, and Chuuya has to keep his legs up perfectly straight and feet flat to keep Dazai from falling off. but sometimes when Dazai's being a lil shit and snickering at Chuuya's face while he's intensely concentrating, Chuuya will just kick Dazai off of him and move on to doing push-ups (until Dazai comes over again and sits on Chuuya's back)

pls tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the bsd fandom on tumblr has to be the most comforting space to be in. like compared to other platforms like tiktok, tumblr feels so much safer and judgemental free (for me at least)
