#he couldn't bear the weight of his sin anymore and his attempt to play god

[lotus-pear]

I can tell you're a writer because in your most recent Soukoku post, the choice of wording for the caption actually has a double meaning and I'm just now realizing it...and that's what makes it all the more gut-wrenching.

"In love with tragedy" at first glance is referring to Chuuya falling for Dazai despite his untimely and deliberate demise, resulting in Chuuya's incarceration and detainment. Dazai is the tragedy because he is doomed by the narrative, even despite Chuuya's love. But that's where the second meaning comes in. Dazai is the one that is in love with tragedy, because despite his efforts the facade that he so carefully puts up shatters around him, making him realize that fate is inevitable and this is how it will always be. No world will have a happy ending as long as Dazai is in it. That is his fate. The ferverous obsession that borderlines infatuation to change the narrative is reflected in the caption.

Anyway if you couldn't tell I'm super obsessed with your piece and I actually love all of your art sm :)
