Platonic Yan!Batfam X dazai!GNreader X Yandere DC
Mix of neglected batfam and based of port mafia dazai with a small slice of ada dazai
Forgotten child
Pro. (You are here) Ch.1 Ch.2
A bastard is what you are
You were a result of a one night stand between Bruce Wayne and your mother who you don’t or will ever know the name of.
How’d you know his your father? A simple DNA test.
Who would’ve thought that a child of a billionaire Bruce Wayne would ended up in the mafia.
As much as you want to know more about your mother, it was quickly dialed down by one sentence.
“Traitors doesn’t deserve to have their name pass down”
Mori isn’t really the best person to look up to
You were at the very least 5 or older when the GCPD took you away, you don’t remember.
Alfred was the one who pick you up from the investigation.
He remembers that day as if it was yesterday.
You, a malnourished child who stayed still, staring into the darkness with no light in their eyes, bandages covering you.
It was a pity sight.
A few calling of your name to realized it time to go to your new ‘home’
You move as if you’re not even human, instead a doll who was abandoned and left to rot.
With what left of your belongings, if you even had any, Alfred with his gentle nature guided you to the car.
You didn’t even made a breathing sound, only blinking and constant fidgeting to your doll.
He tried his best to struck up a conversation with you, such as “how are you?” Yet only to be replied back with either a deafening silence or words barely above a whisper.
You were a child yet have suffered so much beyond to see the light of hope.
Only when you’ve arrived at the manor is when you started clinging more to him. Maybe it your nature as a child to be nervous to go to your new home.
With what left of your innocence, you looked up to him with a pleading look , “don’t…. Don’t let go please….”
Your voice was hoarse and dehydrated but it still sounded as if you were afraid of being left alone.
Probably the effect of losing the only person whom you know and trust.
When you cling onto him is when he took note of your entire appearance.
Yes you were covered in bandages but those bandages were not only dirty but also covered in red streaks of blood and was layered below the fresh white one.
Your clothes had some torn at end, hair being messy and full of knots, sections of your skin having bruises.
Alfred was more than ready to hold your hand while guiding you to wherever you two go together.
Yes the absent of your family saddened you but Alfred company was what you wanted.
You didn’t care for the others, not when they ignore you 90% of the time and not when Alfred is there with whenever he has the chance.
In your mind, Bruce Wayne is not your father no, instead it was Alfred Pennyworth.
But even that doesn’t stop you from being what you are now.
Bruce Wayne, the man who is your supposed father. Do you hate him? Not really.
You can’t really hate a man you barely know your whole life.
And it wasn’t hard to learn what does he do for a living other than being a man whore.
He bare- actually never even had a proper conversation that lasted more than 3 seconds.
The dude didn’t even notice the increasing amount of bandages when you first stared in the port mafia.
Richard Grayson, the second person to talk to you after Alfred. Do you also hate him? A mix feeling really.
You know about him more than you know about Bruce, on what he doing when he’s Nightwing, what he’s favourite food, and just the minimalist stuff.
You don’t exactly have the right feeling to describe your relationship with him.
Do you talk? Barely. Do you have a proper conversation? Never. Spend time together? Nope.
In short, you don’t think the two of you are fitted to be considered siblings.
Jason Todd, was probably the closest to you.
You saw him being taken in as a robin and died as a robin.
Yes you two mocked eachother in terms of whatever you can remember but at the very least there was interactions between the two of you in comparison to the others.
As much as you hated it, you did infact miss his presence when he died.
Timothy Drake was the most distant than all of them combine. The two of you didn’t have a single conversation or even a single sentence to eachother.
You knew well he’s a fan of Batman and probably didn’t even knew you existed or just didn’t care since you’re not one of the vigilante.
Not that you care, you never identify yourself as a Wayne anyway
Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown and Barbara Gordon…… how should you describe them….
Just like Tim, you don’t exist in their world, but instead a background character.
You were sure that they can’t even remember your name properly without mispronouncing.
But You do sure as hell do love it when you’re given a nickname by someone
Last of all, Your half Brother. Damian Wayne, as much as the two of you barely talk, the first meeting wasn’t very welcoming.
Almost being impaled doesn’t give out a nice first impression after all.
You mostly try your best to ignore the insults and the degrading words from him.
The little kid barely met you yet for some reason hold a deep hatred for you like you did something illegal.
You’re currently standing in front of a grave….. someone who was there to take care of you in the port mafia.
You stare blankly at the grave, not knowing what to do, wether to breakdown and cry or to leave it alone.
You were trembling, sweating and on the verge of actually breaking down yet something is holding you back.
Oda Sakunosuke
Your father figure after Alfred is dead.
Ango is right by your side trying his best to comfort you.
As much as you were a demon prodigy, he knew that deep down there’s a child who’s unable to act like one.
You shrugged him off before walking away to do a phone call.
“Alfred….? I know it’s a sudden but…. Please clean up my room…… I no longer staying at the manor from now on”
You try your best to held in your tears but your voice betrays you, and Alfred knows that.
He swallow a lump in his throat before replying, “don’t worry Master [N], I understand. But do please remember that I will always be there to welcome you”
He was the only one who knows about your work in the Port Mafia and the only one who you trusted to told it too.
He knows about the people you met and the people who you befriended.
He understands how a death of one of them can put you on the verge of losing what left in your humanity and to live.
And he knows that the death of your second father figure can cause you distorted in many ways.
Inspired by @-acid-ixx again & again series and @-marcyvampire silly little bat.

BSD 109 spoiler ///
People have said that the current chapter making parallel to Dazai first interaction with Chuuya.
But I also want to mention that this is also made parallel with Dazai's entrance exams. In here Dazai risk his life on his partner Kunikida. Whether Kunikida will be shooting him with fake gun or real gun.
Kunikida also mentioning in the novel that if our Dazai were to die he would be cheering and said something like "FUCK YEAH !!! I WILL DIE !!" Instead here he said
Also in novel he said something like this to Kunikida: "I don't mind if you shoot me." And Kunikida also mention something like..
"If Dazai saying something cliche like that, it's 90% chance that means he just provocating his enemy."
"If Dazai talking normal that means something is abnormal and if he's being abnormal that means he is being his normal self."
Of course people also mentions about Beast Dazai and how it's also parallel Beast Dazai's Death. Also Kunikida also mentions about 90% so ... It could be the 10% scenario ? IDK
But I'm on team Dazai is not death and I'm 100% sure of it's !!!

Soooo I spent the day thinking about how Fyodor's ability actually works, because as we all see the whole 'kill someone with a touch' is all a lie.
At this point I can say about 90% sure that his ability allows him to 'switch' between bodies, his mind remains intact, he's just switching vessels. That explained the flashback scene in the castle and the helicopter scene.
Personally, I think his ability is a little complicated, as it needs two requirements for activation, one being he has to be in a near-death state, and two is his blood has to make contact with someone else. He was stabbed by the vampire in the helicopter and impaled by the guard in the castle, both where his blood make contact with them. For the guard it got on him through the hole of his helmet amd it was dripping on his face. For the vampire I would say that it's due to the wound bleeding out and dripping down the weapon, thus making contact with the guy.
In the panel where we see the corpse's face, it has the characteristics of the vampire (nose, eye shape, etc) and since the hair is a part of the body, he couldn't switch out the hair, so Fyodor might trim that later on probably?
This ability is somewhat like Dazai's, aka an automatically activated ability. To Dazai, the requirements is he has to make physical contact with someone, and to Fyodor it was blood making contact plus near-death state. It can't be activated when he's dead because if an ability user dies, their ability would disappear alongside them. (Except for some irregular cases like Kyouka, it's inheritance)
Also I did think about the arm that Dazai handed Nikolai. It is true that it has the body's blood on it, but at that time where the helicopter crashed he had switched with the vampire to get out already, thus making the blood on the body belongs to the vampire guy.
And if by any chances he decided to leave an arm to be a trap, it would have his blood on it right? But Dazai would be safe because he can nullify it. As for Nikolai, I would doubt he's the target for the whole body switching, since at the time Fyodor has to get out before the explosion already, meaning that he had switched with the vampire. So if he wants to choose Nikolai as his next target he has to let his current body's blood make contact with the jester in order to activate his ability-
Also, it doesn't mean that Fyodor can't die. He can't die via murder method. Because his ability would automatically activated as long as the requirements are fulfilled. Murdering usually cause bleeding so yeah, not really a good idea. He can die via poisoning or diseases that does not fulfill the requirements of having his blood made contact with the victim by the time he's at his near-death state.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk hehe
ooooh great theory! i too think his ability has something to do with blood and bodies (or atleast, consciousness/conscience). perhaps his ability does have something to do with near-death state too, considering we see the instances in the newest chapter. i saw someone said on twt... that's why fyodor isn't afraid of ace pointing a knife at him or anything. probably because he could get away with dying somehow.
also, according to your theory, if fyodor's just changing vessels but not mind, wouldn't that make fyodor just a... concept?? does he have original body? or when he takes over another body/vessel, he can alter the appearance to look like himself too? idk man😩
i wonder if his ability is his blood itself. what if he himself is affected by his own blood? is he a singularity like jules verne (the one who had his own ability consuming him in 55 minutes)? baa bam, new theory.

Thank you Niki for coming to my ted talk lolll
PLS theory about fyodor's ability makes so much sense, especially with the blood requirement and switching. it makes me think how's kind of like dazai's mirror in a way, considering the way they think, and now the requirement of contact in regards to ability :o

Yo! I'm Cou, like in Acoustic! That's where the 'cousticks' comes from (mind blown, yet?) I'm a whole 21 years old, and would prefer they/it pronouns.
This account is my dumping ground for fandom posting, including analysis, aus (which you can find a list of here), writing, doodles, and more! You can find some of this writing on AO3, too.
I follow back from the url 'causticacoustic', as this is one sideblog of several. Please do not be alarmed by a purple Master Chief icon following you out of nowhere, or leaving asks, that's me!
Minors are welcome, but I'd prefer only my 18+ friends DM me. 18+ mutuals are welcome to my discord, too! Just send me a DM.
I encourage talking to me. Be it via asks (anon or not!), comments, reblogs, DMs, whatever, I love conversation, I'm just a little incapable of starting it, usually.
More blog info below!
Content
This is mostly a BSD blog. In the future it may also contain other media. Vanitas no Carte is probably going to make an appearance eventually, who knows what'll come after that.
Other media interests I doubt I'll post about here include:
the Halo universe
FLCL (only the og. we don't talk about the reboots.)
Portal games
Dishonored games
bad action movies in general
and more!
I also have other non-media interests, but I won't clog this up with them. You should totally ask me about them though.
I don't post or reblog anything NSFW. This is 90% because I don't want to forget to tag something, 5% because I'm ace and don't really need that here, and 5% because I don't want to make this blog a place minors can't go.
Tagging
Honestly, I'm not great at tagging upsetting content. If you need something specific tagged then leave me a DM or ask (anon or not) or something and I'll try my best to keep a running list of what needs tagged and how (I keep a Google Doc for myself for my tagging system and will happily add your needed tags to it). Chances are, you'd be seeing violence or blood. If you're in the BSD fanbase, I'm kind of making a blanket assumption that you're okay with that when you interact around here. If not? Good luck, I guess.
I give all characters their own individualized tags. I'm working on making them all short song lyrics. Please feel free to ask about any tags you see! Characters that haven't been given lyric tags yet are given the tag 'placeholder [character] tag.' If they're an au-specified character, such as from Beast, its specifically 'beast [Character] tag'. I have a handful of AU and/or concept emoji tags. If I ever see it relevant enough, I'll make a key for them.
Drawings are tagged #doodles. 'Personal' not really content posts are tagged #sticky note. More put-together posts I intend to actually circulate in the world are tagged with the fandom and relevant characters / novels, ex. #bsd dazai, #bsd fifteen, etc. People I interact with frequently might find themselves with their own tags as well! Mutuals, please don't think I suck for not giving you a tag or something pretty pretty please. My brain is very tired so I'm limiting it to those that appear often I promise I'm not slighting you personally on purpose.
Asks
I love getting asks. They can be actual questions on my thoughts, chain mail, insults, little gifts, whatever. I don't care. I love them and will treat them all with care. I have anon enabled and will always have it enabled. I'm also a big fan of ask games and have a ton of them tagged under #ask games. Those are all active all the time forever (though if its an older one you'd have to specify) I just like having things to talk about. Please talk to me.
This is very long and says absolutely nothing. Please direct all questions, comments, or complaints to the ask box.

GASP
CAN I REQUEST PUTTING YOUR COLD HANDS UP YOUR S/O’s SHIRT TO ANNOY THEM HEADCANONS
you can do any characters you want but make sure you include chuuya pwease 🥺
putting your cold hands up their shirt
ft. dazai | chuuya | oda | atsushi x gn!reader
genre; fluff, crack
warnings; none
notes; this idea was so fucking adorable omgshdv and i don’t write enough for oda so i’m adding him in ;D
dazai
i say his hands are always naturally cold by default and you can’t do anything about it 🤫
he’s actually the one who always pokes, prods and tickles you with his cold fingers. especially if you give him a reaction like yelping out or strangling out a strange noise
he’s constantly waiting for the chance to just swiftly glide over to you and stick his hands up your shirt or rest them on your neck. seeing you squirm out of his freezing touch is one of the few highlights of his day 😭
he won’t exactly expect it if you try to do it though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
it’ll be like any other day, just an average moment where he’s talking to someone (distracted and doesn’t completely realize you’re silently watching him like prey 💫 )
so you quietly tip toe behind him and stick your icicle freezing hands up his shirt (≖ ͜ʖ≖)
he immediately grabs his own body, stifling a yelp as you wrap your arms around his waist, running your hands up and down his chest. the more he’s thinking about it the more he’s getting flustered
“oi oi! what’s—what are you doing?!”
“payback ( ˘ ³˘)”
he’s going to blush red while trying to maintain his expression. “we’ll talk about payback… later…”
after that, he’ll constantly be holding his shirt down in public. and so are you 😭 i guess you’ve given each other trust issues
the day now consists of you both trying to slip your hands under each others shirts and making a run for it 🏃 it somehow becomes a contest on who can put their hands up the other persons shirt in a day (≖ᴗ≖✿)
the agency usually sees you running or hiding from him or him running from you. you were once found in a closet trying to avoid dazai. poor atsushi found you
“uh, y/n…why’re you in a closet all alone—”
“shSHssHH i’m hiding from dazai. his hands. his h a n d s ( ͡°з ͡°)”
“forget i asked ʘ‿ʘ”
there was once even a moment where you and dazai both somehow ended up playing tag in the office 🤔 it was dazai’s turn and, well, let’s just say he gave you a running start while shooting out his grabby hands with an evil look in his eyes
“oi, stop running in the office!”
“SORRY OHMYGODJS DAZAI IS CHASING ME HELP—”
chuuya
the first time you stuck your hands up his shirt, he let out a high pitched shriek ಥ‿ಥ
“what the FUCK?? was that you >:0 ??”
“maybe ◕ ◡ ◕”
he’s hurt. he’s wounded. he feels betrayed. violated. offended. every word in the book 😔
when he asks why tf you did that, you just proudly say it was to annoy him. you’ve definitely accomplished that. he’s definitely annoyed. he’s also angry. angry he lowkey thinks it’s hot 🤬
warm weather is your best friend because then he won’t complain about your cold hands up his shirt (considering if your hands are still cold even in the summer 🥲)
okay yeah, you catch him the first few times. but now revenge is on his mind. and chuuya likes his revenge 10x bigger so you’re definitely fucked lol <3 a huge part of him just wants to dump a whole bucket of ice on you while you’re sleeping while the other part is begging for you to stick your hands up there again 🙁
he’s conflicted. i’m only 90% sure he won’t test out the ice bucket challenge on you though—
this went on for many days until an idea popped into his head. he suggested wearing matching gloves like his ;) only because you keep sticking your cold ass fingers up his shirt 🤬🤬 he means it affectionately though <3 i think <3
it’s all really just to trick you, and if you say yes to the gloves then he’s practically jumping with joy on the inside. all’s well until you stick your gloved hands up his shirt again.
now he’s got another problem to deal with cuz this is also igniting something in him 0_o
odasaku
he is extremely confused.
he thinks you’re giving him ideas on how to “torture” the orphans. he quite literally asks “are you showing me a new tickle tactic to use on the kids 🤔?” while you’re standing there with an even more confused look on your face.
can you blame him? i mean, you literally dashed up behind him and stuck your hands up his shirt to give his pecs a little squish 🤫 but instead of letting out any type of noise, the two of you simply stand there in that position. trust me if i could draw it, i would
“are you feeling cold?”
“…huh?”
“that’s why your hands are currently up my shirt, right? your hands felt cold?”
“…sure ◕‿◕”
just pat him on the back and walk away.
i like to think his hands are almost never cold so even if he were to try doing it to you, the least it would do is tickle. for example, imagine you’re in the middle of a random task. he’ll just stick his hands on your back and stand there to wait for your reaction 🧍♂️
“what? what’s wrong?”
“are you feeling anything? does it tickle? is it working 🙂?”
he’s…getting there i think…*pat pat*
well since it didn’t work on him, it’ll work on the orphans, right? right. you discover that he finds greats enjoyment in watching you tickle torture the kids with your cold hands 🎉
atsushi
just imagine any meme of a cat violently screaming out. yes. that’s him.
he doesn’t understand why you have the sudden urge to stick your cold hands up his shirt, so you’ll often see him glaring at you like this -_- from across the room. beady little eyes watching your every move -_-
one day he walks into the agency with both his suspenders wrapped around his body so that you can’t get inside his shirt. honestly, what a shame 😒
but let’s say you do manage to get your hands up his shirt. he’s a complete blushing mess. one, because you’re literally gliding your hands all over his stomach, chest, and back. two, because your hands are cold and he’s jumping around like he has ants in his pants 😊
he actually doesn’t hate the feeling, he just gets flustered because you’re touching him hehe. after a while he gets used to it and doesn’t even try to stop you or runaway anymore ಥ‿ಥ
he gets super embarrassed when you do it in public. for example, once you came to him and pulled him into a hug. he’s alarmed at first, expecting the feeling of your cold hands on his chest. but strangely enough, he only feels your body against his own, your face pressed into the crook of his neck.
just when he’s relaxed and ready to hug you back, he feels familiar cold hands shoot up his shirt.
“you—you deceived me ಠ~ಠ!”
meanwhile, you’re manically running away 😋 run faster bitch! the tiger is quick >:0

The Six Realms
Okay, so I was pretty close to giving up on writing analyses but I'm back LMFAO plus I see we're close to 100 followers and I just want to thank you guys for being so very supportive <3
Alright, I'm not sure if anyone's ever written about this, but if an analysis like this exists, please do let me know because I'm kind of curious as to what other people think about this, too!
Remember that time Fukuchi spoke about bringing "about the five signs of an angel's death"?
I read a little bit more about it, and as a minor content warning: this analysis will focus on a few religious aspects (Buddhism + Hinduism). So if I get any of the facts wrong, firstly: I do not mean any disrespect to either religion, and secondly: please do correct me if I interpret anything in the wrong way.
Spoilers for BSD chapter 90 onwards + BEAST!AU under the cut!
So I'll start by talking about the Decay of Angels. As we all know, the members include Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Sigma, and Bram Stoker, and their leader, Fukuchi Ochi. After Fyodor's arrest, the Decay of Angels came into light with Nikolai murdering four government officials in a week. These murders symbolise the Buddhist cycle of existence, or otherwise known as samsara: the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
"We are the Decay of Angels—hiding here as terrorists, a 'murder association', five people who will announce the demise of the celestial world."
Nikolai Gogol, chapter 57
Samsara is described to be a concept beyond human understanding. According to Hinduism, samsara is the physical world where every being has its soul trapped into a physical vessel. The Hindus believe that everything has a soul, and due to a soul's attachment to desire, it is forced into a deathless cycle of being born, dying, and reincarnating into a different body. In Buddhism, the ultimate way to break free from this cycle is by obtaining nirvana.
Nirvana is a Sanskrit word for the goal of the Buddhist path: enlightenment or awakening. In Pali, the language of some of the earliest Buddhist texts, the word is nibbana; in both languages it means "extinction" (like a lamp or flame) or "cessation." It refers to the extinction of greed, ill will, and delusion in the mind, the three poisons that perpetuate suffering. Nirvana is what the Buddha achieved on the night of his enlightenment: he became completely free from the three poisons. Everything he taught for the rest of his life was aimed at helping others to arrive at that same freedom.
- TRICYCLE'S definition of nirvana
As Fukuchi mentions in the panel above, there are six different realms of existence. These realms represent every possible state of existence, but one cannot live in a specific realm forever. Depending on whether or not one's past actions were morally good or bad, an individual is born into one of these realms. Basically, the controlling factor of which realm a person is born into is dependent on their respective karma. The realms are separated into two categories: the hellish ones and the heavenly ones.
The Deva Realm: where beings are rewarded for the good deeds they have done. This realm is void of anything unpleasant. It is basically paradise— empty of unfulfilled desires, any form of suffering, and fears of every kind. Religious individuals, however, do not seek to be born into this realm since its attitude is more or less carefree.
The Asura Realm: where demigods are admitted. Asuras are driven by greed and envy, and may come in conflict with human beings since they are quite similar. They are powerful beings, but quarrel with each other quite a bit, making this realm quite undesirable to be reborn into.
The Animal Realm: where beings are given the form of an animal (you probably guessed that lol). Individuals here don't actually have good karma to take pride in, but rather, they are born into this realm to work off their bad karma (by being slaughtered, hunted, or forced to work, etc). Being born into this realm forces one to atone for their past sins by living out their life as an animal.
The Hell Realm: where one is punished for their evil actions. The most merciless of realms, where one pays for their transgressions through pure suffering, methods of which include: dismemberment, starvation, and psychological/physical torture. However, once a person's term is fulfilled in this realm, they are presumably promised to be reborn into a higher state.
The Preta Realm: similar to the hell realm, in which beings pay for their past sins (specifically: greed and stinginess) by having to survive through hunger and thirst. This realm is also known as the 'ghost realm,' because some pretas are psychologically tortured by being forced to live in places their past selves have lived in. They are invisible to human beings living at that time, which pushes them to face the depths of despair and loneliness. Your typical horror movie, really.
The Human Realm: the only realm where one's actions determine their future. The status (social ranking, physical wellbeing, and so on) of a human being in this realm is determined by their past actions, but due to the fact that a person has their own conscience to differentiate good morals from bad, the actions they commit in this realm have the power to determine which realm they are sent to next.
Okay, so now that I've got that out of the way, let's shift our focus to the Book. Very little is known about the Book, but the basic fundamentals of how it works is that whatever is written in the book will come into existence only if its contents follow the rules of karma. In addition to that, only a few sentences can be written into a single page of the Book, and it must follow the current narrative of the story.
If I'm not wrong, the first time the Book was mentioned was by Fitzgerald, who wanted it to resurrect his deceased daughter in hopes of restoring his wife's mental health. The next time the Book is brought up is when Fyodor's intentions to possess it are divulged; his goal was to decimate the global population of ability-users. And now, the current arc has the Book as its central focus, with a single page in Fukuchi's possession.
[ BEAST!AU spoilers ]
The Book acts as the central point of multiverses, with each character's lives differing from universe to universe.
Dazai committing suicide in this alternate universe stands in sharp contrast with how he decided to start up a new life in the main universe.
Oda staying alive to act as a mentor to Akutagawa in the ADA differs from how Oda uses his death to prompt Dazai to "be on the side that saves people."
And of course, the way Atsushi and Akutagawa have their positions switched in the two universes depicts how different their lives would be if they were given the chance to be mentored by different people— these are just a few examples of how the Book houses an endless amount of possibilities.
[ end of BEAST!AU spoilers ]
Hypothetically speaking, this kind of reminds me of the differing realms I mentioned before, where suffering is promised in some realms, and better things are granted in the rest, depending on one's karma, or the deeds they've done in their past lives. In this scenario, perhaps one's past life can be understood as one's current life in a different universe. That's just a personal opinion though. Take it as you will.
side note: Keep in mind that the person who is more or less impervious to the Book's effect is Dazai, with his nullification ability. I wouldn't want to propose any theories in this aspect (I don't believe I'm fully fact-checked ;_;), but I could use Dazai as a raw example of how your choices affect your future. If Dazai had decided to stay in the Port Mafia after Oda's death, or if he even decided to go through with his suicidal fixations, life would've been different for him in the root universe (obviously, ryley) I mean, you could basically understand that from how he ended up in the BEAST au, but imagine if he really did slip up in his decision-making in any of the universes.
Many analysts have proposed that he went MIA (early in his life) from the main universe for a while to figure out how the BEAST universe worked, whilst having the Book to his advantage. Perhaps his actions were guided? I'm not saying he's all-knowing, but he's sure as hell smart. I'm not sure if Kafka was trying to highlight the concept of karma when it comes to Dazai, but if he is, then I suppose you could say that Dazai is pretty much unaffected by the rules of karma, existing as the centerpiece of all the multiverses. No Longer Human is the namesake of his ability, but the book talks about disqualification from societal norms and generally, the world. I was talking about it with a friend, and they reminded me that Yozo (the main protagonist) was pretty strong in his views against society. Like he didn't speak out of total defeat, he spoke out of defense. If there was anything Dazai actually lost to, it was his guilt— "Living itself is a source of sin."
Then again, that's my personal interpretation since everyone has their unique perspective of his writings. In terms of the actual adaptation, you could translate the word 'disqualification' to 'insusceptibilty' when if it came to the Book's effects on Dazai? This side note is becoming really long lmao anyways I'll link a few theories which afflicted me with brainrot down below.
Another thing before I wrap up, the name 'Decay of Angels' stemmed from Yukio Mishima's book entitled 'The Decay of An Angel.' This is the final novel to the author's tetralogy: 'The Sea of Fertility.' The main protagonist, Honda, meets a person he believes to be a reincarnation of his friend, Kiyoaki, who takes the form of a young teenage boy named Tōru. The last novel of this series enhances Mishima's dominant themes of the series as a whole:
the decay of courtly tradition in Japan
the essence and value of Buddhist philosophy and aesthetics
Mishima’s apocalyptic vision of the modern era
Again, this could be referred to what Fukuchi goes on to say:
Some people view the concept of samsara optimistically, justifying it by saying that perhaps each individual is given a second (third, fourth, fifth, who knows) chance to refine their actions in order to be birthed into a better realm, with their karma being the independent variable.
On the other hand, other people, specifically the Hindus, view the cycle of existence as some sort of plague. To them, the flow of life and being forced to endure the suffering of mere existence in any form was somewhat frowned down upon. Some Hindus viewed samsara as a trap. Besides, having one's soul being limited to a physical body for the rest of eternity was not very appealing, especially since where they ended up at depended on the karmic value their past actions surmounted.
Even so, particular types of Buddhists don't seek nirvana, but instead, like the Hindus, they make an effort to be good people of society, building up their good deeds to increase the likelihood of being reborn into one of the better realms.
As mentioned before, the Deva Realm was the home of angels, the most carefree, gratified beings to exist. Fukuchi describes these angels as the people who don't get their hands dirty, the people who act as the puppeteers of society: politicians.
In terms of parallels, angels were the most fortunate and powerful, but they didn't have anyone ruling over them. A lack of supervision would lead to the abuse of power, which is what I believe Fukuchi was referring to. Deeming himself the Decay of Angels, he sought to prove himself as the 'sign of death that falls on the nation's greed.'
A few fun facts (okay, not really) about Yukio Mishima: he committed seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment) on the day he held a speech to voice out his unpopular political beliefs to the public. Mishima deeply treasured traditions and opposed the modern mindset the nation was advancing forward to adapt eventually. In his last book, The Decay of an Angel, he spoke about the five signs which complete the death of an angel:
Here are the five greater signs: the once-immaculate robes are soiled, the flowers in the flowery crown fade and fall, sweat pours from the armpits, a fetid stench envelops the body, the angel is no longer happy in its proper place.
The Decay of an Angel, p.53
The reviews about this series I've read so far describe Mishima's works to be quite complex; his writings demanded a lot of time to deconstruct and understand. They were highly symbolic, and he was pretty obsessed with death and the 'spiritual barrenness of the modern world.' I think you could attach a few strings from here to the mindsets of the DOA members. Of course, this parallel is completely abstract, but I'll go on rambling anyway:
He should have armed them with the foreknowledge that would keep them from flinging themselves after their destinies, take away their wings, keep them from soaring, make them march in step with the crowd. The world does not approve of flying. Wings are dangerous weapons. They invite self-destruction before they can be used. If he had brought Isao to terms with the fools, then he could have pretended that he knew nothing of wings.
The Decay of an Angel, p.113
I suppose you could resonate Nikolai with that excerpt. As much as Fukuchi takes the lead in this whole murder association, I'd like to believe that each member of the DOA plays an equally interesting part in whatever movement they're trying to execute. Fyodor feels it is his god-sent purpose to cleanse the world of its sins, his motto being, "Let the hand of God guide you." Sigma doesn't know where he belongs, since his origination comes from a page in the Book, and is fueled by the desperation to find a reason to live. Bram holds one of the most powerful abilities which is counted to be one of the "Top Ten Calamities to Destroy the World."
What I mean to say is that the DOA members are incredibly powerful, and they're not your ordinary antagonists (or I'm just biased). It's not just overthrowing authorities, mass genocide, and world domination— you could say that each individual is trying to utilize their purposes to their fullest expenditures, and the way they're trying to assert their plan into action is a little more passive-aggressive (framing the Agency, having a convo with a suicidal dude in jail, etc). They're the gray area between evil and good. As they framed the good guys for their own crimes, they're trying to conquer the bad guys for exploiting the innocent as they please.
This post would definitely age well if all hell breaks loose in the current arc (as if it didn't) and Kafka doesn't give us a happy ending.
That's all I have to say for now I guess! Thank you for reading, and once again, if anyone else something they wanna share, feel free to do so <3

“Other Worldly” Ability Users
Since I’ve been seeing a bit of talk of this panel/page (chapter 76, page 12) as of late, I might as well discuss it next!
For reference I read akai-koutei’s translation of the chapter so check it out here if you haven’t already (or to refresh your memory on it).
Also I do mention things from up to chapter 90, Stormbringer and Dead Apple towards the end so keep those spoiler warnings in mind!
Quick summary of the pages leading up to this panel: the fight between Teruko and Sigma is coming to a conclusion and Teruko is trying to convince Sigma to surrender. She claims that he’d have to fight prodigies, going off of Sigma calling himself an ordinary man. She then tells him, “Welcome to our world” and Sigma seems to envision this group of ability users due to her words.
Analysis: why/how is this vision shown
As for why I believe it was Sigma imagining this, it’s mainly due to the panel order. As for how he saw it, I believe that it’s equally likely that he either used his ability at this moment to find out what Teruko meant by “prodigies” and who is a part of this “world”, OR Sigma grouped these people together himself based on information he had received in advance from the likes of Dostoyevsky (ie. ability users to watch out for)
Analysis: the selection of the people in the vision
Teruko, Fyodor, Dazai, Tecchou, Chuuya, Fukuchi, Fitzgerald, and Jouno are all considered to be “of a different world” because of their sheer strength, skill, and/or wit.
Some of these entries should be fairly obvious, given how powerful some of the skills are directly in combat alone (Chuuya, Fukuchi, Fitzgerald Tecchou). Continuing with the capabilities of their skills: Teruko, Fyodor, Dazai and Jouno are included due to how game changing their skills are in a fight. Dazai and Teruko can easily render their opponent powerless with a single touch. The restrictions and capabilities of Fyodor’s ability are currently unknown, but it is hinted that it involves death or fatal injury upon contact. Jouno, the least obvious member of this grouping, has hearing so powerful that he can read people’s heartbeats, and with that read people’s reactions. It wouldn’t be far fetched to believe that he can also predict people’s movements with this (ie. the shifting of their weight or a change in breathing), making him very difficult to outsmart in battle.
In regards to wit and intellect being a factor in this grouping, this really applies to everyone in the group. Maybe not so much chuuya and tecchou, (and possibly teruko too) as they’re more combat oriented and skilled then strategizing. For starters, we know quite well just how good Dazai and Fyodor are at predicting others’ actions, and with that being able to strategize far in advance. Fukuchi is a skilled and trained fighter, and as we learn from his fights we’ve seen so far (up to ch 90 at the time of writing this), he more than knows how to strategize in a fight, as well as with larger decisions. We also have evidence of Dazai, Fyodor, Fukuchi’s, and Fitzgerald’s capabilities of strategizing as leaders. Chuuya must clearly be skilled in this too, seeing as he is an executive, but when it comes to fighting we know that he’s more focused on the combat of the fight than the strategy of it.
Analysis: the people that weren’t included, even though you’d think that they would have been.
→ Akutagawa and Atsushi aren’t a part of this group, despite being considered the “new double black” and Atsushi’s ability being described as one of the strongest that can cut through almost anything → even together, the two of them barely stood a chance against Fukuchi. Even when working together, the infighting and their own self doubt of their own individual capabilities is likely part of what’s keeping them from being in this group. We know that they don’t compare to the likes of Dazai and Fukuchi when it comes to wit/intellect/foresight. It would be interesting to see them fight someone else in the group though, like maybe Chuuya (as in for sparring/training purposes, doesn’t have to be as enemies)? They’ve beat Fitzgerald when working together but on their own, they struggled.
Chuuya get your butt over to Mersault, break out Dazai, and fight Fukuchi with him, please
→ Fukuzawa and Mori aren’t in this group, despite Fukuzawa being able to draw his sword so fast that it can’t be seen and Mori being the one that taught Dazai his strategizing skills. This is likely because their abilities would be considered much less extraordinary by comparison, as Teruko can age anyone and Dazai can nullify abilities for example, which both may not seem combat oriented but they can render their opponents powerless with a single touch vs Fukuzawa having a more simple support ability that only does so much and has specific activation requirements
→ Tachihara also isn’t included despite being a Hunting Dog and his ability having already been revealed by this point. Although we still don’t know the full limitations of his ability as of chapter 90, we do know that he can wield it very skillfully (ie. moving a life size mannequin with convincing realism, being hinted that he could do something about the vampirism). We know that his wit and intellect doesn’t compare to those in the group, as he admitted that he needed Mori’s help with realizing that Fukuchi is an enemy and why (though to be fair, he was under the influence of the writing in the page.
Post @chazukekani’s Stormbringer summaries addition: having Chuuya be included makes even more sense now due to the uniqueness of his ability (without spoiling too much, not only is Chuuya’s ability a god’s power implanted in him, but also how using Corruption is tied to ability singularities)
Post DEAD APPLE novel addition: why was Shibusawa not included in this group? Based on how Ango refers to him, Fyodor, and Dazai as aliens, then shouldn’t he be included too? The government was also keeping Shibu alive and safe because of how unique and valuable his skill is.
“But the government kept protection’ him anyway because he was a valuable skill user who could counteract a nationwide invasion of skill users.” (p 121 of the Yen Press translation for the Dead Apple novel)
Chapter 76 came out late 2019 so plenty of time after DA released. It could point to Shibu’s canonicity being questionable and (more importantly) there’s also the fact that he’s long dead by this point of the manga, but I don’t know why else he wasn’t included because Asagiri did say in his DA novel afterward that DA has had some influence on the story.
“Chronologically, the story takes place after the second season of the anime—in other words, after the war with the Guild, which puts Dead Apple somewhere between the ninth and tenth volumes of the manga.” . . . “The novel also ended up affecting the main story in numerous ways,” (p 196 of the Yen Press translation for the Dead Apple novel)
That’s it for my analysis of this! I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on why certain people were or were not included in this grouping, as well as feedback on my own reasonings!

from what i've read, the cdc says 90% of this kind of wound is fatal from the shock waves and shrapnel and blood loss, with the other 10% tending to live on with some kind of disability as their brain restructures itself - HOWEVER there are exceptional cases, and depending on where the bullet goes, people can live on if they get immediate care. The critical stage is in like the first week or so, and that pretty much determines the quality of life. Dazai could be lucky though, as there is also the miniscule chance the bullet goes a different route than straight through (think of Malala and like Phineas Gage), as well as his plot armor.
someone google and tell me how long a person can be alive after being shot in the head becuz i thought it was instant death

Hi! May i have a BSD match up please? 🥺
-I am 23 years old, female and bisexual. despite my age, i am tiny and stand at only 4'10" with short brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. Im unfortunately often mistaken for being much younger than i am.
-my personality type is infp-t. I'm introverted, and prefer to stay at home because going out too much wears me out and drains me emotionally. Also, I'd rather have a few close friends than lots, and once i get close to you i wont be as quiet and introverted around you. some of my hobbies and things that i like are reading, painting, cooking/baking, and learning about history
-i tend to be a very caring person to those i love, and i will take care of you. But i expect the same effort in return. I also do like skinship, and being close to others. I love hugs, and need lots of them. I dont have many dislikes except for unloyal or unkind people. I also very much dislike confrontation and if someone yells at me there is a 90% chance ill start crying lol
Hello lovely! I hope you like your matchup!
I pair you with… Kunikida Doppo!
Kunikida is quite a bit taller than you at an astounding 6’2”! The two of you sometimes get teased for your height difference (usually by Dazai), but Kunikida doesn’t let that stop him from loving you! He also isn’t afraid to correct others of your age if you get mistaken for a child or younger than you are.
The two of you have really lowkey dates where you stay in and read! Walks in the park are also common but usually at times when there aren’t many people around, so the two of you can talk freely without worrying about eavesdropping or attacks from the Port Mafia.
Baking together! Cooking together! Kunikida isn’t the world’s best chef, but he knows his way around a kitchen. So feel free to teach him any baking tips you may have!
He puts in 100% of the effort when caring for you! Holding hands is common when Kunikida isn’t working. Occasionally, he’ll indulge you with a quick kiss, but that doesn’t often happen as he’s still getting used to having a significant other.

2 and 3 for the ask game? owo and happy birthday!
Thank you <3<3<3
2. What are your future writing projects?
Oh boy there's a lot there. Let's group them!
Events
Currently this is what I'm most focused on since u kno deadlines. College doesn't leave me much time to work on anything else so I make do where I can. Since they are events I'll keep them vague with just the key elements:
JJK secret santa - Itafushi and hospitals
Satosugu winter exchange - Reincarnation and art
BNHA ace exchange - just got the prompt today so not sure yet
Zine i can't name yet - piece I can't talk about yet
Super secret Peters bday project -super secret Peters bday project :3c
Oneshots
One day it will be their turn...most of these are place holder names until i think of something better or just give up and leave them as is
Starfanged - Satosugu vampire!Satoru vampire hunter! Suguru AU, just a super simple lil obvious plot, Megumi n Tsumiki are also there, Satoru has to haul ass from a hunter with two babies cuz life sometimes sucks like that
7 Days Before You Left - covering the week before Suguru left the school, I kinda got halfway through this n then decided i could do better so hhjvhvh we'll see if i get to rewriting it, my brain is marinating
Pick up - Dazai sure doesn't pick up his phone a lot for someone that is constantly threatening suicide and it's Stressing Chuuya Out. Basically just what it says on the box
Multichapters
Lord help them I'll probably only get to them like next year cuz of college murdering me in cold blood
Dance with the Devil - Satoru's prequel for Rabid Dreams. Originally this was going to be a oneshot but....currently it sits at 30k and that's just not an amount I'm comfortable with presenting as one lone piece. I know some people have longer one shots but I like my pieces to still be relatively digestible in one sitting so yeeeeah this baby getting chaptered. It's like 80% done but i paused working on it to finish curse au and then i decided to turn it into a chaptered fic and that might need some work because i feel like some sections that worked fine in a fast paced one shot simply wont work in a multchap. Currently too busy to work on it but this is my baby, it's edgy and dark and stupid and i love it so much, i take a hammer to Satoru's head and I don't let up so <3 look forward to that
(Gang au has at least two maybe three other fics in plan but i havent started writing them yet so i wont talk about them, yeah this one kinda cracked my head open)
How to be a teen dad while navigating your emotional trauma, a guide by Satoru Gojo - Found family time with Satoru and fushiguro kids (and sometimes shoko), this has been sitting in my wips for A While cuz i ended up prioritizing other projects but I'm not giving up on it!! Family fluff, angst, Satoru being a wreck, Megumi transing his gender, Tsumiki having things to do and Shoko is there to film it all and laugh at it later, simple things
North Star - Satosugu circus AU. They are married in this :) they are miserable in so many of my fics here they just get to be That annoyingly cute couple, they earned it. Basic plot: A year ago Suguru fell off of trapeze and hadn't gotten back to it yet. Satoru tries to help him get over his trauma by being a stupid idiot. They are in love. This is just sappy romantic shit for my soul, 90% of its soundtrack is tns dance songs and of course 10 years, don't look at me i deserve this
Last time i made a list like this of my upcoming projects I think i ended up abandoning like 80% of them, but to be fair that was right before my shift from BNHA to JJK, so these might stand more of a chance uhhhh I hope there's something ppl will be excited about!
There's also Assigned Lesbian which I Am planning to continue and I Have written like half of the next chapter but.......eheheheh sorry nana fans following me you'll get your day someday
3. Are you trying anything new with your writing (style, genre, etc.)?
Uhhhh nothing particular style or genre vise but I have one major and one minor goal.
1. Get better at writing fight scenes - i fucking hate fight scenes, i really do. It's really hard for me to visualize movement and choreography like that so when I'm writing fight scenes it always just feels like everyone's flailing about. But I'm not giving up! A year ago I wasn't good with dialog either and now it's one of the things I found the most fun to write. It might be hard and not my thing but I still want to practice so I can do a decent job when I do need to insert a fight scene
2. Get better at writing sex scenes in plot fics - this is a minor goal because I don't really like to include sex in my plot cuz idk its just not my thing, i find it distracting and not the part i want to tell. But sometimes it is important for the story!! The sequel to Rabid Dreams has at least one (maybe two) sex scene that has major stakes in characters emotions, trauma and understanding and trust in each other. Just like with fight scenes, I'm not very good at them, I don't really like writing them, but when I need to use them I want them to be good!!
Hopefully I can accomplish those uwu
#anon#ask game#yall wanna bet how many of those fics will i actually finish lmaoooooo#I am v excited about all my multichaps at least#oneshots are more on the ice cuz i might just get bored of them rip

Hey! Can I request some general relationship headcanons for Dazai with a fem s!o? Thanks!
Dazai is so hard to write for but he’s also my favorite to write because I love him
While most people just take Dazai at face value, you saw through his mask immediately
He could tell, even when you didn’t say anything, as you got this soft look in your eye when he talked about suicide that made his insides melt a little
Knowing this made him scared of you, but also intrigued
He had never met anyone who made him feel so vulnerable, yet so safe at the same time
He loves watching you do your makeup, he understands you see it as an art and not a way of covering up
Sometimes he’ll wear a little colorful eyeliner
You got him obsessed with face masks and now every Sunday is Self Care Sunday
When he’s emotionally exhausted he’ll just plop down on you and lay his face on your chest or your lap
On his really bad days he’ll just cling to you like a koala
He loves you in whatever you wear, but black dresses make him turn into goo
Not ashamed at all to buy you anything “feminine” even if people give him weird looks
Loves to cuddle you
Don’t let him near your kitchen unless you want it on fire
Super overprotective of you and if you’re in public his arm is around your waist or his hands in yours
If you’re laying close together there’s a 90% chance he’s playing with your hair
Enjoys when people think that because you’re fem you can’t kick ass and you prove them wrong immediately
All in all, a relationship with Dazai is unpredictable, but he loves you and you’re never bored

Character cheat sheet
Alright so today I decided to rewatch bungou stray dogs cuz my writing is really lacking when it comes the all the characters. It feels like they’re more often than not out of character. So I wrote down notes on how they behave (and a lot of stray comments) and thought I’d share them in hopes that it might help someone else. Getting all these characters right is really hard after all. So, enjoy! And feel free to add/comment if you want to change something!
Here goes! Part 1/2 The Agency
*
*
Atsushi
- very loud
- Lots of exclamation marks!
- Always looks worried, probably is as well
- Assume a lot
- There’s just so much panic in that small body
- Stutters
- Says stupid things to get out of something
- Not confident enough in his abilities
- Puts others above himself
- He needs to actually want to hurt someone or he doesn’t know how to fight
- Good instincts when it comes to fighting as well
- If this boy couldn’t regenerate he’d be dead by now
- Fighting spirit is much fueled by rage
- This naive little thing, stop believing everything people say
- Easily scared
- Jesus he’s gullible, stop listening to Dazai
- His will to protect others is admirable
- He can transform fully he just rarely does it
- Always sees good in people
- He is so done with everyone
- Uses San for almost everyone (as he should)
*
*
Dazai
- Usually answer questions with questions
- Doesn’t correct assumptions
- Doesn’t make them himself
- Neutral/bored facial expression unless he’s teasing someone
- He actually is serious sometimes, actually pretty often
- Watashi
- Does go for some pretty long monologues when he explains things
- Actually listens to kunikidas orders
- Pain does in fact not bother him
- Watch him punch someone with a cheesy line
- He likes to tell the criminal how he figured it out or where they made a mistake
- Hands in pockets, always
- He shows surprise in his eyes
- Very mean when he has to, Akutagawa for example (see: my new subordinate is much better than you)
- Says Chuuya a lot, well people’s names in general
- All this pickpocketing
- I mean he can actually fight
- Also this jumping up from a laying position
- We already know he’s smart but Jesus, how do you write a character that’s smarter than yourself?
- He just sitting against the wall in a 90 degree angle so Chuuya can reach him, cute
- Does in fact not know everything, he does research to find what he needs
- He tells Oda about missions at lupin, lupin really must be mafia owned?
- “The biggest misfortune of Dazai’s enemies is that they are Dazai’s enemy”
- He did still joke a lot in the mafia, same lightheartedness as now.
- Does Dazai know it’s gonna end badly with oda? He wanted to take a picture to remember
- Uses a lot of fancy words even when young
- Carries a lock pick
- He guesses a lot and says he knew
- Dont feed him spicy food
- Fuzz up? I mean I know he curses in the manga but really?
- Basically never uses San (did he with Mori? Yes he does) Ane-San doesn’t count
- I’m happy that the mafia members are still scared of him, they know how ruthless he can be
- Does he have feelings?
- He really doesn’t predict everything, he’s just good at adapting
- He likes slapping people, you backhand that bitch, go dazai!
- Very flippant when he does something to help
- Red eeeeyeeees
- There’s no exceptions to his ability
- I wonder if he dislikes celebrations
*
*
Kunikida

Kyouka
- serious
- So small and innocently cute
- Looks very cut off from reality, at least in the beginning
- She’s an assassin
- Seems like she just wants to try normal child things all the time, crepes for example.

- She’s killed 35 people
- The mafia scares her
- Is she scared of her ability? At least in the beginning

Ranpo
- very bored, always
- Does question the president when something is wrong
- He talks more than I actually thought, and it’s not always smart things, usually just rubbish
- Candy
- Very hyped when he gets to have fun
- And teaching Kyouka about candy yes
- “War is so boring” I agree Ranpo-San
- Doesn’t actually figure everything out at first glance, sometimes he asks or need clues
- Seems like he can figure people out in one glance though
- He does stupid things when he isn’t wearing his glasses, it’s a trap dear Ranpo
- Really he’s an idiot without them
- He believes in the glasses thing
- The president is the one who made his ability, sort of
- So he isn’t actually stupid without.. more like he believes he is

President
