#like yeah dazai i get you

a sacrifice worth making

[boycaca]

I think the reason people believe chuuya would be the more open and affectionate in soukoku (as like. A romantic relationship) is because they believe him to be the mentally stable one and i think the reason people seem to believe he’s one of the few “mentally stable” characters in bsd is because he does not let himself be seen as vulnerable, and the few times we do see him go through something genuinely horrible and having a moment of vulnerability he does not really have the time to truly process it and ends up “moving on” pretty quickly (for example when he was at the flags’ funeral and adam interrupted him, or how when the sheep betrayed him dazai was immediately at his side trying to convince him to join the pm). And even if he does process it and thinks “man that was pretty fucked up wasnt it” it is never shown on screen so i feel like a lot of viewers end up seeing it as him not being bothered by these events and just a pretty chill dude that doesnt wallow in grief or self pity. But i think him never wallowing in grief or self pity is kind of a problem because in the end all he is doing is suppressing all that trauma and not really trying to acknowledge it, but at the same time when he does he ends up pinning the blame on himself (how the sheeps betrayal was his fault, the flags dying because of him). I feel like this impacts how affectionate he is too because he has built up so many walls that at the point when the flags make a party to celebrate the one year anniversary of him joining the pm he gets suspicious, then surprised and then flustered and tries acting like he doesnt care about it. All this is to say that i think him believing he cant show weakness and has to maintain the facade of being “the strongest” makes him seem like some regular degular guy (if he’s not fighting dragons) ends up him getting viewed as some mentally stable, communicative guy with maaaybe just a bit of anger issues when in reality he got so embarrassed by dazai’s corny speech in mersault that he shot him in the head with a gun

ok people we gotta stop making mori the source of all evil with soukoku. Yes mori is evil about how he treated yosano and a lot of the pm members but that's a whole other can of worms.

Anyways with skk MORI WOULD NOT TRY TO GET IN THEIR WAY IN FACT HE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEIR ASSES TO GET TOGETHER THIS PANEL EXISTS FOR A REASON.

MORI SHIPS THEM SO BAD ITS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.

Fics need to stop making this dude try to prevent skk from dating. I want a crack fic where mori is just like "Hey how was ur day do u like to kiss guys?" To both dazai and chuuya. I want mori shenanigans where he's actively trying so hard to set them up and Elise is sitting in a corner with kouyou and they're hard core judging him.

What even is Dazai's signature color?? Is it Brown? Blue? Black?? Even that man's design is ambiguous and I love it.

continuing my dumb bsd birds with parrotzai based off of nothing but sheer will

[lil-vibes]

big fan of chuuya just not being phased by dazai anymore. the ada judge just how Off The Hinges a plan is by chuuya's reaction, if hes unbothered then so are they. pm members shake in their boots just by hearing dazai's name and chuuya "i shared an apartment with him, hes so embarrassing behind closed doors" nakahara is like " ??? yall fr 🤨?"

bsd fandom has always mischaracterised kunikida to hell and back but the fact that i am seeing SO MUCH hate for his character right after his 'death' is insane

WHATEVER YOU SAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Fyodor’s little stretch…!

My thoughts? Honestly, it’s a bit of a nothing chapter (I say as I don’t know what any of the dialogue is but I know it’s just going to be Fyodor explaining more space-dimensional bullshit manga logic). It is exciting to have Fukuzawa face off against Fyodor, but Asagiri pulls this SO often man, where it’s like “A new challenger enters the ring” every chapter and multiple times per fight.

And this fight really should’ve been Akutagawa’s time to shine. I know he’s going to get back up, but man.

My brother just asked me if I'm trans because I watch Bungou Stray Dogs or if I watch Bungou Stray Dogs because I'm trans (from that Gojo meme) so now I need to do a community survey:

someone remind me, is it canon that the terrorist sadists turned whores for good gossip about their little gremlins' war crimes while taking the munchkins for their nature walk???

sure, dazai and sigma waltzing down a prison hallway is forever looping in my mind but its also because it's SO MUCH MORE than just a fun scene. and even the fact it is a fun moment is hella important. trust dazai on this one. sigma has been an unwilling pawn in too many schemes- given a home for some time and then discarded. and then it just seems to him he's being shoved right into another one from the moment dazai choses him. to him, dazai's known as a threat. a being matching in smarts with fyodor, unhinged enough to blush in anticipation at a death match, and to laugh injecting posion into his veins. that's his first personal impression of the man. but dazai takes sigma's hand, pulls him close, practically basks in the absolute nonesense of it (to sigma's increasing panic), twirling and twirling until sigma will shove him away- and then it's where sigma realises dazai's still smiling at him?? it's when sigma wonders for a second if he's had this wrong. or maybe that he's been right- but maybe there's more to this. more to dazai's plan for him. and see, sigma's usually high strung anyways, dedicated to a fault....but now he's been feeling lost, fed up of it all, angry and even more stressed to breaking point. and dazai.....reacts accordingly for when he wants to bridge a gap between him and someone. aka. obnoxious familiarity and overall whimsy. in-your-face (literally) humour to let the other person get riled up at HIM for a moment, let them let it out, and then redirects the focus once they've said what's truly on their mind. and right after his outburst at dazai, sigma's self-awareness kicks in fast.... that dazai's.....directing him? is it manipulating? what's the intention? sigma goes a little quiet and thinks carefully when dazai prompts him more questions. he's still pissed and weirded out, but it already feels entirety foreign to the sinister, dismissive, masterplan smile fyodor will throw at him....and that's enough to let sigma focus. dazai's smile broadens, encouragingly, lets his personality do the talking and is probably the most genuine but lighthearted at the same time the show has shown him. but IT STANDS IN POINT that dazai broke the tension in sigma, improvising and adjusting to the wild card he's chose sigma to be, already committed to giving sigma the option to be saved. it's literally dazai at the peak of the person oda wished him to be: masterplanning, expressing himself more honestly, smiling and not buried in darkness. and it's sigma experiencing humanity - through dazai's guidance (humanity through DAZAI!!!!!!!!), plus through being literally just silly- pushed hard, but not too hard - into being given hope.

i want to get around to reading all the bsd light novels but I have separation anxiety in regards to atsushi and can't consume a piece of bsd media if he isn't there so I keep thinking "hmm well i guess i should read dead apple next" when I know that makes no fucking sense there's literally an entire movie that I have seen that covers that plot exactly already and in fact the ln is just a novelization of the movie. i just don't want to acknowledge that my only options now are light novels without him in it

[daz4i]

skk is so t4t to me at this point i can't process them as anything else fr

[anti-dazai-blog]

I don't understand why fans in general are always so against critical analysis & always try to defend characters whenever someone points out bad writing. Bsd fans have huge issue like that I'm glad you're so vocal about dazai character writing tho cause lots of people just avoid it due to his fans taking it so personal

I think it’s mainly an issue of people not properly tagging their posts, so that when people search their favorite characters, they find negativity instead of the positive content they were hoping for. It makes sense why that would be annoying— but in the end of the day it’s everyone’s job to curate their own internet experience.

I tag all of my negative posts with #anti dazai, so it’s pretty easy for a person to just block that tag (or block this account), and so most people don’t have a problem with me. I’ve only run into any sort of problem with two separate tumblr users in the past (one of which is pretty infamous in these bsd tumblr circles)— so from my end of things, I don’t really see all the people getting angry about character-critical content. I know it’s out there, I personally just don’t come across it very often.

I also block very liberally, so that might be a contributing factor to why I don’t see that side of the fandom. But either way.

I’m glad you’re enjoying this blog!! For any given piece of media there will be positive aspects and negative aspects, and everyone can and should feel free to talk as much as they want about both sides. There also isn’t a single right answer— meaning one person could find a character to be written in a very compelling way and someone else can find the character writing shallow— neither person is wrong, so long as they can justify their opinions with textual evidence.

The only time a media interpretation is wrong is when it’s entirely made up. And I don’t mean “this person read the text and came away with a different conclusion than me,” I mean “this person is directly contradicting the text and is giving no reasons for why they might think the text is lying.” There’s always the concept of an unreliable narrator, but on tumblr, the website that’s infamous for lacking any sort of Reading Comprehension… yeah you’re not gonna get the brilliant literary debates everyone’s hoping for.

now why did dazai say here he wanted to ask chuuya sth 🧐🧐...? WHAT WAS THE QUESTION SUPPOSED TO BE?! like I know it'd be probably another joke but what would he say hadn't he made that joke...

[kyouka-supremacy]

It's actually quite curious that I've never found a sskk fic where Atsushi was jealous of the attentions Akutagwa gives Dazai

IMHO, I think it’s bc jealousy like that would mean Atsushi wanted Akutagawa to feel about him the way Akutagawa feels about Dazai, and I don’t think that’s the kind of connection Atsushi would envy anyone having with anyone

That's... A very good point
