This is probably more of my personal headcanon / how I best like to interpret the characters rather than something canon based but... I have been thinking, at the end of the day most of the relationship bonds Dazai created in the ada span between rough and silently hostile. He doesn't get along with Yosano because of their shared link with Mori, and he doesn't like Ranpo because Ranpo being the only person he can't trick or manipulate probably makes him feel unsafe. It's not like he can exactly get along with the Tanizakis either, he's simply... Too distant from them to actually build anything positive with either Naomi or Jun'ichirou.

I think this explains why Dazai is so obsessed with Kunikida and can't leave him alone one second: because despite everything, I truly believe Kunikida is fond of Dazai (for reasons he himself would never be able to explain), and I feel like due to Kunikida's straightforwardness the tension between Dazai and Yosano and Ranpo would go completely unnoticed to Kunikida (whereas otherwise his seniors' negative opinion of Dazai could have negatively influenced Kunikida's feelings for him). That's why Dazai loves to spend time with and torment Kunikida, because he's the only member that doesn't feel directly hostile / out of reach. Even better, you know Kunikida isn't happy with Dazai; but it's also all very superficial, kind of a game, and the hostility isn't personal. It all makes me reflect on how Dazai feels truly desperate for human connection despite what he makes it look like. It's maybe more of a gut feeling, but I do truly believe Kunikida cares about Dazai and is willing to play their game, because I feel like otherwise he would have already told Dazai off definitely.

That also explains why once he met Atsushi Dazai absolutely latches onto him. It's like he's saying, this is my dude, I brought him to the agency; he's under my wing, and he's on my side. Which is a weird thing to say, there's no sides in the ada, but be it relapsing to old habits, be it a deep insecurity of Dazai, I feel like he's trying really hard to create connections and find allies. And Atsushi is such an ego boost for Dazai, I have no doubt Dazai absolutely loves him. In the end, as crazy as it may sound, I'm convinced that Dazai is way more dependent on Atsushi than Atsushi is on him.

But Atsushi is in good terms with the whole agency. Well, because he's Atsushi, and he's kind and clumsy and just trying to do his best, I feel like everyone warms up to him sooner or later. It's very nice to think in the end it may be Atsushi himself to bring Dazai closer to the rest of the ada, by breaking sides that never existed to begin with and linking them all together.

yet another hastily done, (barely) funny new vegas image. idk why but i find the low quality, stretched images funny. wide arcade and veronica are cute i guess.

[mrtagawa]

I was looking at the floor plan again so in case any one was curious this is where everyone’s desks are, as well as my best guess on some of the rooms.

Unfortunately I don’t speak Japanese and can’t read kanji (I had to cross reference the names with the wiki just to be sure) so if anyone wants to chime in and add some extra bits or corrections, please do so.

can you imagine Chuuya joining ADA and being sent out for a mission for the first time ever...Kunikida messaging him like "sorry i have the car today. could you take the bike?" and Chuuya's like "yeah no prob" bc he thinks they're talking about a motorcycle but no it's actually a literal bicycle

[hesperidia]

Here is interesting bc Atsushi finds himself thinking what Dazai would do, when in the past that didn't work for him at all. The logical follow up (for me at least) would be he realizes he has to put Dazai aside for once in order to not be paralized and act.

i want

sometimes, you just want something so hard you have to lie about it, so you can hold it in your mouth for a minute

most days i want to live

to experience

how real hunger has a real taste

most days the garden‘s almost enough.

your vulnerability

little pink flowers

on the sage, even though

the man said we couldnt‘t eat it. not this kind.

and i said,

then, gosh, what‘s the point?

not all days. but most days i do

but

i don‘t want

to be vulnerable

in a field i am the absence of field.

this is always the case.

wherever i am

i am what is missing

do you love me enough that i may be

vulnerability is courage in you and inadequacy in me

weak

with you? do you love me

i‘m drawn

stripped of everything

to your vulnerability but

that might be lost, for only

the things i will

have

repelled by mine

for ever?

— resident evil 4 remake

[inamagicalhallucination]

good morning, one day dazai comes to his apartment and sees a wrapped package from the ada and opens it to a collage of pics of him and his friends - even the one at bar lupin and a picture of oda in general and maybe even one w/ chuuya - him and atsushi at a photo booth after atsushi asked what it was, him and ranpo playing chess, him and junichiro playing video games, him out drinking with the older ada members, him and kunikida being him and kunikida, and more - with the words "proof that dazai osamu is human" carved into the frame
