#i think next ep is finally the mysterious edgar allen poe!!!!!!! whom for the longest time i thought was the same as ranpo.....

[defeateddetectives]

s2 here we gooooo

yeahhhh ok so i'm cheating and saving dark era episodes for the end cuz apparently still not ready to relive That :)))))

meanwhile: why are all the americans like this (i mean we know why)...ofc lovecraft is a walking eldritch horror....blah blah blah i dont really caaaaare for most of these new characters tho or the v v shonen throwdowns....and that child with the fucking terrifying doll should not be allowed to exist

ah dazai flexing his torture skills......[michael bluth voice] i dont know what i expected

ANGO???? ANGO!!!!! welp r.i.p. ango....jk i know he's not dead yet......i've seen the deadeyed airbag gifset.....

atsushi goin stealin girls' hearts left and righttt???

after spending > 90% of their budget on dark era, bones seems to rly prioritize backlighting dazai with sunset hues. we get it; he's your number one boy!!!

i probably need a separate post for the sudoku episode bc so many layers of !!!!!!!!!! but cbb so here we go

cant believe we have finally reached the Reveal Drama i was waiting for even tho it lasted......0.5 seconds

knkd: why are you setting up a meeting with the port mafia???

dz: goshhhh try to keep up

knkd: [blue screen of death]

(as an aside: gimme 500 fics of the fallout of this???? maybe they already exist......i mean walking in here 5 yrs late with starbucks should have some perks right???)

of course mori is fukuzawa's shitty ex.....i should have called this.....how did i not call this??? "you still talk to cats dont you" !!!!!!!

part of me wants to know all about the fucked up dz & mori history but i also......will probably live to regret it. "do u still wear the coat i gave u" "no i burned it :)))" lmao @ mori still being emo over dz defecting (meanwhile, me, hissing: MAYBE??? YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT TWICE??? ABOUT GETTING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE MURDERED???)

apparently i'm taking a lot better to bsd!sarumi than i had expected. like they're dumb and regress to being bratty children together and that's v entertaining??? tiny angry hat man gets angrier and nearly destroys himself in the process of ending the eldritch horror meanwhile ex-partner eats popcorn and swoops in at the last minute to prevent him from dying? beautiful. dz being Soft and Nostalgic for 0.2 seconds as tiny angry hat man collapses was also good shit

maybe one day i'll fully figure out/talk about my feelings re: dz and how as an individual character, i'm p much shrug emoji about him most of the time (which is a lot of progress since initial impressions) but in relation to other characters and the sides of him they bring out? this is probably what fascinates me most yes even shitty murderdad....dz basically reads like a (v dead inside) shapeshifting chameleon in front of a funhouse mirror but when you hold up the prism and angle it right and shine a specific interactional light through, something glints bright and i go all eyes emoji. lets pretend that maybe one those sleep-deprived metaphors made sense
