Tell us one of your unpopular bsd opinion

*Spoiler alert!

I feel like what Fyodor was to Nikolai was the same as what Oda was to Dazai, Both nikolai and dazai's life changed a lot after meeting them(maybe not in a same way but they found someone they could really call their friend). and if you remember when nikolai was holding fyodor's severed arm in the end it looked like dazai understood what nikolai felt(to have someone who understands you)

I've read a few fanfictions now where Oda and Chuuya would be good friends had Dazai introduced them. But I don't think that would be the case.

While I can see Oda being pretty neutral towards Chuuya I just can't see Chuuya liking Oda.

In my opinion Cuuya would positively despise Oda. And why? Because of the way Oda treated Dazai.

Chuuya would watch these two interacting for a few minutes, would see how Oda keeps enabling Dazai's bad and self destructing behavior and would immediately hate him.

This picture shows what could have been pretty well I think.

Oda looks at Dazai and what he is doing, not able to see Chuuya because the red head is standing in the shadows.

Chuuya looks at Oda with a rather unfriendly expression that practically screams "don't you dare come closer". He let's Dazai sit in the light but keeps him distracted with letting him play with his hat, keeping him away from Oda.

Chuuya wouldn't have a problem with Oda showing Dazai the Light, showing him what the light can be. However, he wouldn't want Oda to be all that close to Dazai BECAUSE he keeps enabling him in all his self destruction.

Dazai and Chuuya look out for each other since they met, each in their own way.

While Dazai keeps reminding Chuuya that he is human and does what he can to stop his friend from thinking that way, Chuuya stops Dazai from doing various forms of self harm and snaps him out of negative spirals all the time.

Chuuya would despise Oda for letting Dazai self harm and spiral. And he would want to claw Odas eyes out if he knew that he told Dazai that nothing can fill the emptiness in Dazai.

I don't often talk about bsd here (dont even know why lol), but I just wanted to mention the thing that really bothers me and It's Teruko. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but what I really dislike about her is the way she looks and acts like a litteral child. No, It's not that "you see all short people as children, hr bad", I litterally am very short and people usually don't even believe me when I say my real age and they think Im 10-13 for some reason, but there is a clear difference between a short GROWN UP person (both teen and adult) and a child who's short just bc It's a child. And the way they portray short women as actual kids also annoys me, but that's not tge thing

My main problem is the way she ACTS. It's not about her emotionality or being autistic (as It's with Ranpo prolly), or anything that could justify this, this is it, Isagiri just wanted to make a loli girl who's in fact in her 30s-40s, but who look and act like a 10yo child. Like, I understand everything, but we already have Elise, why making Teruko this way too?

Yeah, yeah, even if we can say that Teruko is comfortable with this look or that she pretends so to do smth, but the way she acts just doesn't have any explanation. This is NOT how grown up women act, It's just a little sis who was taken at the job by ger brother bc parents wanted a day-off. It's anything, but a grown up soldier woman, I just refuse to believe in it.

And uf we say "well, the age she choses affects on her behavior and she actually feels this way", it wouldnt make it any less weird. Then why does she look this age if there is no need for her to be Like this when they are alone with no enemies around. And anyways, her crush on Fukuchi looks even more weird this way. Like girl, chill, that's your grandfather, not a boyfriend 😭😭

And the whole "b-but Ranpo also acts childish, so ur mysigonistic" doesn't work here at least bc 1. Ranpo doesn't pretend to be a kid and he doesn't act like a 10yo child, he's just silly, lazy and likes sweets, that's his personality and it its him and 2. He LOOKS at his age.

And I really would like Teruko much more if she either most of the time she would be like an adult or at least a teen girl

OR was an actual KID, which would be even better and Imo would make her much more interesting!

posted this on insta but i feel bold enough to post it here too

[calmlb]

unpopular opinion but i actually see Kouyou as the possible next Boss of the Port Mafia 👀

like ppl talk abt it being Chuuya but imo… Chuuya : Ranpo :: Kouyou : Kunikida

(Chuuya & Ranpo being the “hearts” of their orgs while Kouyou & Kunikida are the “heads”)

this is just not so unpopular opinion from me but i cant give a shit about bsd anymore tbh....... i'm getting bored at the current pace of the manga and the plot. i don't like the way the story is written right now. i do like their banters/yapping/messages/speeches about politics and war tho. i think it's an interesting read. but for a series that is full of fast-paced action, the manga is sure slow as hell. i feel like the monthly release schedule and pages for a chapter are dragging away the intensity and tension of the supposed action in the manga. one month is enough to forget the 'hype' yk?

as someone on reddit says: "my favourite thing about bsd are everything BUT the main manga" and i have never felt validated. while i don't follow the main manga on time or as hardcore, i still consider myself a fan. i think my favourite part of bsd is gaiden and nikolai. hell, i think i've been too fixated on nikolai that i am more interested in my fanon understanding of his character rather than what canon has shown us—not that they are ever enough

so yea, not really looking forward to further chapters that much. i don't even mind spoilers or anything. i see spoilers way before i read the chapter. i feel like the story goes downhill on recent chapters but i couldn't quite put a finger on it. but i can safely say, the next half of the DoA arc is really not doing it for me. there are good moments, yes, but they all passed by so quickly and somehow, i can see characters who have fallen (i.e. the 'dead') will return back alive and well and safe.

i still don't like how fyodor's ability is not actually having something to do with lethal touch. i genuinely think his 'actual' ability doesn't give Crime and Punishment its sense and grace in a way. i mean, nikolai's ability is The Overcoat and although i firmly believe his ability is not limited to clothes/coats, it's still shown that his cloak is a big part of his use of his ability.

and besides, lethal touch is threatening in its own way anyway... making fyodor to be an ageless immortal feels like taking away the humanization in him, if that makes sense? immortal who is pure evil? pfft haa classic villain in the marvel universe. an anemic human who has a deadly yet simple ability and managed to start wars around the world?

terrifying. intimidating. human.

Good morning~

[jounosparticles]

i need tecchou finding jouno passed out under the rubble of the airport and carrying him away to safety. i need to see him panicked upon finding him but relieved as soon as he sees jouno breathing. i need jouno to come to and try to say something but he’s too tired so he allows himself to be cared for just this once. i miss them so much

idk it's especially funny to me that the Western fandom has so much difficulty comprehending bsd!Mori since he's the house that the Western lens built. but he's not a personification of theoretical utilitarianism; he's a military doctor who has at least thrice (the great war, the pm under the old boss, the dragon head conflict) witnessed chaos beget violence, instability, and mass suffering. once you recognize (1) the difference between his means and his end and (2) that his fatal flaws are rooted in his stubborness and pride, he's an immensely sympathetic, human, and even compassionate character whose sharp cruelty serves his immense faith in order as a salve for chaos, instability, and senseless death.

mori is not motivated by control, and he does not undervalue the sanctity of human life. he is obsessed with control as a means for upholding the sanctity of life.

(there's a reason he still wears his lab coat while running errands as a civilian so many years after retiring his medical practice, and why, as stated in Stormbringer, medical professionals are so valued and elevated in the port mafia. mori is, above all else, a doctor. and very proud of it.)

i think bsd may be ending, or in the very least nearing its ending arc

edit: yeah i take that back

My BSD ʰᵒᵗ ᵗᵃᵏᵉˢ ᶜᵘᶻ ʷʰʸ ⁿᵒᵗ Even though nobody will see this 1: Okay this maybe just me but with that one scene in meursault when fyodor and dazai talked about god. IT MADE ME SO UPSET BECAUSE I AM RELIGOUS and i looked at the screen like☹️ 2: STOP FCKIN BABYING RANPO ʰᵉ ⁱˢ ᵃⁿ ᶜᵘᵗⁱᵉ ᵖᵃᵗᵒᵒᵗⁱᵉ ᵇᵘᵗ ˢᵗⁱˡˡ

3: Ranpoe ship is NOT healthy

4: Fanon fyodor makes me sick

5: Dazai is an abuser, so is Akutagawa

6: Mori is NOT an p3do (YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND I DON'T JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS)

7: i love skk but fyozai, kunizai, sigzai is also cute (Don't leak my addres)

8: Kunikida should spank me (No joke)

[moraymiso]

as an angst lover myself who indulges often in slightly-not-so-canon creations for the sake of melancholy, i think the worst effect that the fandom's love of fanon angst has had is people fundamentally misunderstanding and misinterpreting dazai's relationship with akutagawa. but i don't think we're ready for this conversation yet

[sskk-manifesto]

Out of everything the anime didn't include, this is probably the cut that saddens me the most
