what is bsd even about anymore... 😭❓

[planetjumperrz]

the contrasts between soukoku and shin soukoku are so obviously on purpose and they make me wanna scream

dazai and chuuya have been THRU IT together, both experiencing major loss, chuuya with the flags and the sheep, and dazai with ango and oda, they both understand the hurt and grief and i think while chuuya was pissed that dazai just up and left, i think he gets it on some level, he understands dazai’s soul, he knows dazai could never stay after all that

their experiences and understanding dictates their relationships, chuuya and dazai have known each other, they basically clicked immediately, but atsushi and akutagawa have to work at it, the have to put effort into understanding each other AND THEY DO

atsushi and akutagawa understand each others past, they’ve been through the same relentless abuse, atsushi’s was logically worse, it lasted longer and it was everyday, all day, while akutagawas wasn’t as often but still as bad, abuse is abuse, they both feel the need to prove themselves so they can be allowed to live, atsushi now understands akutagawas motivation, and it’s eerily similar to his own. atsushi lives to prove that he’s good enough to live, to prove that the headmaster was wrong, akutagawa lives to prove to dazai that he’s good enough to live, to prove dazai wrong. the only difference is their perception of what they need to do to prove themselves.

while chuuya and dazai don’t need to prove themselves to each other, atsushi and akutagawa strive to be better than the other, subsequently improving themselves in their efforts, only a diamond can polish a diamond

They're so cute when they're pretending to hate each other.

You can't convince me this isn't them flirting.

something about Dazai being comfortable enough around Chuuya to be vulnerable and let him see his genuine reactions (especially his genuine shock) as he processes out loud is SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME

plus Chuuya not being shocked to see the genius at work tells us this isn’t the first time he’s seen Dazai actively figuring things out in real time…

the way Chuuya knows Dazai's nervous habits— noticing that Dazai is worried, and subtly checking on him. the way Dazai drops his facade in favor of putting all of his focus into the mental game at hand is such an obvious sign of trust & closeness for someone like Dazai, whose facade is his main form of defense

how they interact with each other in the downtimes when there’s nobody watching…

all i can think is, look how far they’ve come since they were 16 when Dazai couldn’t trust anyone with his plans. how even now, Dazai is always putting up his “all according to plan” front, even with the agency. how Chuuya is the one person we’ve seen him truly drop the mask around, and Chuuya doesn’t bat an eye. even their banter is ongoing, but subdued.

soukoku and their subtle displays of intimacy will be the death of me 💔
