#obsessed with the take that sskk is one-sided. truly. like yes we all have our own takes we all see it differently #but one-sided sskk is revolutionary. #bc it is so? so? soooo? like it is there in canon. and once again we see what we want but...!! one-sided is Not grasping at straws #atsushi who sees worth in being good to the point he erases humanity when it comes to Bad #and akutagawa who first appears as downright evil #I KEEP SAYING akutagawa being introduced so early as this pinnacle of evil this wretched dog of violence. atsushi's greatest opposite #and they hate each other SO MUCH but atsushi has smtg akutagawa doesnt have AND HE DOESNT SEE IT!!!! #HE DRAGS AKUTAGAWA IN THE MUD AND REMINDS HIM BY SIMPLY EXISTING THAT HES NOT GOOD ENOIGH!! NEVER WAS!! FOR DAZAI!! #and he DOESNT SEE IT!!! DOESNT SEE HOW IT AFFECTS AKUTAGAWA!!!! and yet he does.... #it is so crazy to me like the gray shades in these two #im obsessed with it all. atsushi not even seeing akutagawa as human. wanting him gone and not treating him properly #and you know akutagawa hates him soooo bad but where he lacks growth (dazai-shaped hole in his chest) he has a piece atsushi doesnt have #and it's self-sacrifice it's. seeing beyong it all. #i will be mega pissed if his sacrifice is all 'for dazai-san' BECAUSE. that is a love-language right there #he acknowlewged atsushi and tbh atsushi did too BUT he thought it was enough. but it never is bc akutagawa relives his trauma whenever he #sees him. and with dazai always acting like hes not good enough? with atsushi refusing to fully embrace him?? #who knows maybe he died thinking he wasnt good enough. #it's so sad bc im p sure i saw a giant post by op abt how in death atsushi doesnt realise/only realises #and like so true bestie. it takes a death for atsushi to snap out of it. to consider akutagawa. to see him as an actual ally #and akutagawa doesnt have untainted hands either but look. atsushi only ever caring abt good. only ever seeing worth in good #like it is so there. he cares abt kyouka bc shes not in control and doesnt want this. lucy touches his heart by being the same #and he sees akutagawa over and over again and he doesnt reach out. bc to him akutagawa isnt human. akutagawa cannot be saved #akutagawa is a reflection of himself. a terrible one. and he just wont see it. he just wont let him live #akutagawa.... my meowmeow
“You always only talk about Akutagawa's side of the relationship” yes because Atsushi doesn't love him back leave me alone
#All of this!!!#I do agree like. Saying sskk is a thing in the manga is obviously a stretch.#Even with ch 105 + the last episode and overall Atsushi having evidently warmed up to Akutagawa-#it's all still perfectly interpretable within the lines of Atsushi thinking of Akutagawa as a friend.#But when it comes with Akutagawa being in love with Atsushi. Idk I feel like it's all just plainly there.#Akutagawa's face when Atsushi spoke to him before fighting Fitzgerald and “it isn't hate”#and Akutagawa spontaneously giving Atsushi Rashomon and “I'll never be able to move forward” and Akutagawa accepting Atsushi's deal#and “you know the reason yourself” and “is his life that precious to you” and “that alone is my meaning” and “I'm sorry”#and Akutagawa dying for him#and Akutagawa dying for him. and Akutagawa dying for him and Akutagawa dying for him.#It's all just. Y'know.#I don't think there's a real risk of Akutagawa's sacrifice being diminished.#I mean they may not be their favorites but author never really let down on sskk's portrayal so I'm hopeful#I can't be fully sure (unfamous Animage interview) but y'know even if Akutagawa said that it was for Dazai. It'd still come off as a lie-#and basically as a tsundere reaction. Beacuse he already outright said *no* to Dazai when they met in the chapter 84 flashback.#He told him he wasn't willing to follow his plan. And y'know the whole “you know the reason yourself” deal...#Maybe I'm just very delusional lmao. But for how the character was written I feel like it's way easier to read it as#“because you love Atsushi” than it is “because you'd do anything for me”.#Thank you for this addition!! Gave me a lot of food for thought. No thoughts only them#reblog+
