#lovely lovely shin soukoku content

[monstersqueen]

still CAN'T believe akutagawa followed up "what matters are actions, not words" by saving atsushi despite all the times he said he would kill him

[monstersqueen]

#love that atsushi IS visibly worried but at the same time still kind of selfish about it#sorry to being slightly non shippy rambles to your dash in favour of comedy but it is what it is to me :P#hes like come on man if we dont yell at the top of our lungs a genuine discourse on nihilism and the meaning of life...#...whats the point to this fight??#you go atsushi! (via op's tags)

Really thinking that the Shin Soukoku reunion is one of the funniest yet simultaneously heartwarming scenes we have gotten thus far. Because YES! Absolutely give me that way Atsushi takes one look at vampire Akutagawa and has absolutely zero sympathy like, "Hey. Idiot. Snap out of it and give me answers! You think being infected by vampirism can excuse you from explaining yourself think again, stupid!"

Atsushi really channeled the "if me being a mindless tiger didn't excuse me from my crimes, being a vampire doesn't excuse you from shouting our usual philosophical and existential crises while we battle our hearts out" energy.

[inamagicalhallucination]

anytime atsushi gets excited his tail pops out and wags but no one tells him becuz they think its funny to see atsushi try and pretend he's not excited and act nonchalant

atsushi is genuinely surprised and confused how everyone always knows what he wants or wants to do

dazai, kunikida, and atsushi coming back from a mission

kunikida, noticing atsushi looking at an ice cream stall: atsushi do u want ice cream

atsushi: oh i dont care either way! if u and dazai san want to then...

dazai: i dont re-

kunikida and dazai staring at atsushi's wagging tail:

dazai: ooh~ kunikida-kun~ how kind~ to offer us ice cream~

kunikida: as if bastard! i'll buy it for atsushi but ur a grown ass man

dazai: if only i had a tail :(

atsushi: what

dazai: what

atsushi:

//

like that

yosano: how did u choose a gift for atsushi? theres so many things i could get... since he's not used to owning much

ranpo: my genius deductive skills obviously

yosano:

ranpo: okay fine i chose like 10 and mentioned them to him subtly and bought the one he wagged his tail for the most

yosano:

yosano: oh shit u are a genius

ranpo: why r u acting surprised

//

atsushi: cant believe i have to work with you again,,, why do we always have to see each other ugh

akutagawa, staring (like wan staring) at atsushi's wagging tail:

//

bet atsushi never takes time off becuz idk he doesn't think he can - like he knows he can but he also doesn't think he can

that doesn't make sense but i hope u get it

anyway he never requests time off - he's only not there if he's sick (and was bullied into resting) or something like he personally never puts in the request

if there's some festival or event or anything that anyone thinks atsushi would want to go and would go if not for work they let the boss man know

fukuzawa: atsushi, you haven't taken much time off, but it's good to take a break now and then. if you want, you can have monday and tuesday off. (which weirdly is the exact time that that one event u wanted to go to is on but obviously thats just a coincidence)

atsushi, tail wagging: oh that's alright

fukuzawa: i insist.

//

what else hmmmmmmmm

kyouka: atsushi, do you want me to make that dish again? you liked it right?

atsushi: oh i did! but you dont have to if you dont want to! i mean if you do you totally can

kyouka, staring at his tail: i'll make it

//

junichiro, after coming back from a longer mission:

atsushi: heyyy we didn't see each other all day!

junichiro, trying not to show how touched he is becuz atsushi's tail is wagging, showing how happy he is:

and so on

[sickficideas]

akutagawa never cries, not even in front of dazai. so it made me think what if the fever he has is so painful that he couldnt even take it anymore? like gosh the gut wrenching pain of the headache he has and everything else.

and so like he messes things up while on a mission with atsushi and atsushi’s there just exploding in madness while akutagawa is just so frustrated in himself and his headache just feels like a hammer to the back of his head and everythingjustfuckingsucks that his eyes start to water??????? ???11?1??11 WHAT WILL ATSUSHI DO???!!1!1!1 and hes there heart in his ass trying to make akutagawa stop trembling all over because the mission is still on going but akutagawa is just there spiralling down with a scowl and tearful eyes.

yeah? no? okay.

AHHH!!!!! This is canon to me and let me tell you why. and I will enlighten anime onlys on this because Bones cut this out. do you remember Akutagawa being so quick to react emotionally this way to Pushkin getting away right after he was infected with the virus ability (which Dazai told Atsushi causes high fevers..!!!) even though he's never reacted in this way before

hes LITERALLY CRYING !!!!!

as far as I am concerned your entire scenario in your ask is totally canon it has happened before and it well happen again !!! next time it's lower stakes and Atsushi is less concerned with the speed of their work and much more worried about Akutagawa...his eyes are red and he's visibly dizzy and pale and Akutagawa would rather die than admit something's wrong even after crying in front if Atsushi...but one day he decides he can't ignore those kitten eyes 😔😔💖😭😭💔

[philzokman]

absolutely insane of asagiri to build up two of the queerest subplots in bsd (with both skk and sskk about to be vampire killed by each other) THE MONTH BEFORE PRIDE MONTH knowing full well the actual pride month chaoter is prolly gonna be aya focused or something 😔😔😔

[lotus-pear]

Um...I would love to see Shin Soukoku in your style 👉👈 I would be hopping with joy(hopefully not too much that I will chuck myself off a cliff)

I love love love your content seeing them makes my day 10000000000000000000000x better even if I was feeling shxtty prior 😭

rewatched aku's death scene recently so i felt obliged to draw some sskk,,,,,theyre ok dw,,,,,,,,they beat fukuchi

[fyodors-side-piece]

Alright I said I'd make a rant post about this and I will because I am tired at this point, skull emoji. I've seen two different Kunidazai shippers talk about this already and, as a Siglai and OC x canon enjoyer, I feel the need to as well based on my own experiences and observations.

BSD fandom (or any fandom for that matter, but this is about BSD), stop making posts about certain ships all about yours. If I see one more person cry about how Nikolai belongs with Fyodor under a Siglai post, or if one more person turns one of my Fyojin (my OC x canon ship, Fyodor and Satsujin) rambles into Fyolai/makes it about them, I will lose my mind. Not everyone likes your ship, get over yourself and stop forcing it down people's throats.

This also applies to when someone says something along the lines of "Oh, I ship [ship], but this is cute/I respect it". No one cares. Can you compliment something without making it about your more popular ship?

And, moreover, if someone says something isn't a ship post they don't want it interpreted as such, respect their wishes. I used to follow a person on Instagram who would post about BSD, and eventually got tired of all the Soukoku shippers turning their posts into ship content when they didn't want people doing that.

As you can guess, this post is mostly directed towards very popular ships like Soukoku, Shin Soukoku, Fyolai, etc (personally I have never seen this situation with other huge ships like Ranpoe, but considering this fandom I am sure it happens). If you ship any of these and feel offended or disturbed by this post, then ask yourself why. Maybe you are part of the problem, and in that case you should work on yourself and learn to not shove things in others faces.

(Also before anyone says "other fandoms are worse", I have been in the trenches of Danganronpa and MHA. I am very aware of that, it doesn't mean I can't be pissed about this)

(Also on this topic I hate when people assume I'm a Fyolai shipper just because I love Fyodor. Please, it is not the only ship out there and I'm literally very vocal about doing OC x canon with my faves)

[cocktailjjrs]

So, Chapter 112 is out.

We don't exactly get much of explanation or distinction from S5 ending ep.

Mori, he really just glued in the fangs for FUN! What even is the Mafia! (Plus, Dazai Laughed!) We had old man Yaoi. I am not going to talk about it as we already know what went down there. We got Kunikida, Atsushi and Tanizaki. And Gogol man being sad (it broke my heart again to see his reaction). Ngl, even i would be sad if someone killed my Situationship But not Chuuya calling out that Situationship, lol (That was my exact reaction when a friend of mine told me she was in one and how it works) SKK bickering, still. And Fukuzawa being handed the greatest responsibility.

All in all, everything we had seen so far, only an added reaction here and there.

Next chapter will most likely also follow through the rest of the episode. But nothing much is left, so chances are that we may get new content. Or latest by April.

This all seems well and good, but I'm suddenly feeling anxious about how things are going to progress further.

I've said time and again, BSD takes 'it can't get worse than this' phase and just proves it wrong again and again. We reach new rock-bottoms every time.

So, things looking up now, gives me anxiety that something is going to go horribly wrong. (Cue the flashback of the 'Two hours later' bit)

All things that can horribly go wrong:

Everything with Soukoku at Meursault. I find it so weird that we are not getting detailed explanation of how things are proceeding there. We have seen Dazai and Fyodor play mind games for so many arcs now, there is always an explanation at the end of each one. But this doesn't have that 'satisfactory' level of explanation yet. Yes, Chuuya again came to Dazai's aid, but how? How did Dazai knew that the Vampires were turned in his favor. Would killing Fyodor (if he actually is dead) really be wise? How is he sure that it was Fyodor plan all along to get killed and he played right into it? You know when things are kept ambiguous, as most things related to Prison break arc are, it means there will be some facts that will come in light later. And that's what I'm scared of because it can be anything! It does not help that Dazai is yet to take that antidote! What if it doesn't work? What is Nikolai goes for revenge? Since he love's loosing himself and that's why he fought, so what if he continues? Can Chuuya's gravity manipulation even be effective against someone like Gogol? He can just go from one place to another, dodge all of Chuuya's attacks. We also know he can use his ability with Dazai as long as he isn't touching him. What is he takes the antidote form the case before Dazai can take it? That makes him such a kryptonite for Soukoku.

Then we have,

The Shin soukoku's battle against whatever that (Fukuchi) was. Two hours, if you think about it is not a long duration of time for things to start fucking up suddenly. There must be something already laid in waiting for it to start going shit when time comes. We are yet to get the details of how the Vampirism is going to wear off. Because it does, Akutagawa was back to normal when he was fighting with Atsushi. Sskk teaming up is well and good, but can they stand against that being? They had a hard time dealing with Fukuchi only a while ago, this enhanced being will be much tougher than them. What if this also is set for failure? only for the world to be purged into more chaos? Maybe i'm being a bit to pessimistic, but i've lost confidence in the mangaka's they always do the unexpected and kill everyone's favs, fr.

That also makes me think

Will taking on the role of Mankind's leader, lead to Fukuzawa on a deeper end? We know he struggled earlier, before founding agency, with his assassination work. He had refused to work in the war for a reason. Won't this be undoing everything he's worked for so many years? Also, taking in that honor from their government (or officials, i don't exactly remember what it was. I'm talking about the appreciation symbol of katana'?' they received at the beginning of S4) that basically led them to take on that case that declared them terrorists. Won't taking the role of Mankind's Leader also make Fukuzawa susceptible to be declared as the Mankind's Enemy? This seems similar to that previous situation. Reminds me of how Ranpo called this responsibility, or last wish, a curse. And Ranpo is always right, so there's that. Maybe that's how they are going to introduce the next adversaries?

Too much uncertainty and what-ifs.

NAVIGATING MY BLOG 🌱

hello and welcome if you’ve come across my page! this is the long overdue introduction + organisation post for this blog (2 years late. but oh well)

ABOUT ME: you can find a more detailed profile on my carrd — but here are the basics.

you can call me jem, i use they/them, and i’m 22. i am currently a music student—if ever i suddenly disappear for like, a month or two, just know it’s because of school, lol.

i can also be found on:

twitter / @ chuuyadelune (where i’m more active)

youtube (i post an edit once every 6 months)

FANDOMS: i mostly engage in bungo stray dogs content, but i’m also a fan of sakamoto days, skip to loafer, chihayafuru, moriarty the patriot, mob psycho 100, chainsaw man, yona of the dawn, witch hat atelier and a whole lot more —a more comprehensive list is in the carrd (since i have not updated my MAL in a very long time)

WHAT I POST ON THIS BLOG: beyond reblogging a bunch of fanart/theories, i have posted a variety of things, which include:

manga colourings (i don’t really do these anymore, admittedly)

written theories/analysis on the BSD manga

half-fleshed out analysis of the BSD anime’s cinematography (lighting, composition, etc)

general ramblings about the BSD anime’s music (because i am nothing if not a huge nerd about this sort of thing)

i have tried to organise things via the tags in the past but not all of them show up, so i’m leaving all the links to everything here—alongside the tags i used—for posterity and so i can find things when i want to. everything is below the cut:

WRITTEN THEORIES ON THE BSD MANGA

the tag i use is jems bsd theories, but not all of these show up all the time, unfortunately. so here’s the list:

(a very silly post about) vampire chuuya (chapter 98)

(a very shitty) attempt at breaking down BSD 101

sigma is the key to winning meursault, and the why in relation to the BSD themes

[BSD 113] the fyodor jesus references go crazy ngl (less analysis more a list of things i noticed)

ANALYSIS (KINDA) OF THE BSD ANIME’S CINEMATOGRAPHY

both this section and the one below (music ramblings) can be found under the tag jem rambles, but here are the links for everything anyway:

the use of levels and how it links to ranpo’s character in S4 E2 (untold origins)

the effective use of lighting in yosano’s backstory, S4 E9

visual parallels in the shin soukoku fights, S1 - S5

BSD MUSIC RAMBLINGS

i really like screen mode BSD ops

BSD S5’s opening fucking bangs thank you kisho taniyama i love you

MANGA COLOURINGS

i used the tag jems colourings for this, but some of them don’t show up, so i’m listing everything here.

BSD:

smiley kenji from 100.5

fyodor drowning from 101

hunting dog tachihara from 68

fukufuku (fukuchi and fukuzawa) from 103

chuuya entrance from fifteen manga phase 1

chuuya stopping bullets from fifteen manga phase 2

titan chuuya from fifteen manga phase 3

that’s what makes me love you skk from fifteen manga phase 5

other:

spy x family mission 15 cover page

[sickficideas]

some of my fav various lines/screenshots from the School side story on Bungo Tales...cant believe this is real sickfic content. so many good tropes. find sick stranger in the hallway?? carry him to the nurse's office?? turns out he's sick all the time?? wait with him until he falls asleep anyway????? just kiss already

summary:

“Are you sure? Maybe you weren’t hiding, maybe you were trying to find a box to stand on!” Dazai posits, all too cheery about insulting Chuuya’s height, as he contently drums his fingers.

“Hah?! I don’t need a box to see over the counter!” Chuuya vehemently argues, his cheeks a light shade of pink, as Dazai maintains his smirk.

“Mm, are you sure about that?” Dazai repeats as if he already knows the truth and it only makes Chuuya turn even more red. “A pint-sized garden slug like you needs all the height he can get,” he adds on with a faultless, beaming smile and, honestly, Chuuya can’t decide whether he’s insulted or enamored. Maybe a bit of both.

Or: What if Hanahaki were contagious? What if Chuuya is pining, but Dazai is choking on flowers?

Well. Dazai supposes he is going to get that lover’s suicide after all.

summary:

Not finding the mental strength to deal with it himself, Dazai finds himself in the agency's infirmary, arms dyed in the crimson of his own blood and covered in slashes. Convincing himself to call Yosano for help was hard enough, but the two's meeting and conversation in the middle of the night causes some old wounds to open up and it hurts more then the actual cuts covering his body.

The worst thing is, the wound is shared, and it hurts both of them.

"I said, what's your name?"

Dazai snaps to attention to see that Chuuya is staring right at him, and suddenly his mouth feels like sandpaper.

Jesus. Who has eyes like that?!

“Ozai—"

“Huh?”

“Dazoo—"

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Dazai Osamu.”

Sometimes--the worst introductions can last a lifetime.

summary:

Finally, Chuuya eloquently said, “I don’t want to date you.” Dazai huffed. “Yeah, well, I’m not too thrilled at the idea of having a crazy rockstar boyfriend. But you got us into this mess, you need to help us get out of it.” Had Dazai gone insane? Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu, dating? Had Chuuya not made it clear through the dozens of direct and indirect meetings that he despised Dazai with every fiber in his body.

Featuring: drunk tweets, falling in love, horrendous song writing, cheesy interviews, learning how to "fake it," and Chuuya getting over the headache that is Dazai. Not necessarily in that order.

summary:

Atsushi teams up with Akutagawa under Dazai’s command on a simple mission to clean up after a time-traveling skill user, but things go south when he accidentally walks into a trap and finds himself transported eight years back in time. There’s only one thought on Atsushi’s mind when he wakes up in his ten-year-old body: find Dazai and get him to nullify the ability so Atsushi can get back to life as he knows it.

But how is he supposed to search for a single fourteen-year-old boy whose past he knows next to nothing about? Desperate for help, Atsushi finds himself making his way to the only place he can think of to rely on in a time like this — the newly established Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama.

summary:

When Dazai Osamu first appeared on the agency’s doorstep with an incomplete application and a halfhearted recommendation, Ranpo’s first impression was ‘kill it with fire.’

His second thought was ‘it can’t join the agency.’ Much like a stray cat, Ranpo could see in the thing’s desperate, starved eyes that if it were given a scrap of affection, it would curl up in the nearest sunny spot and never leave. He didn’t need his (an) ability to see that.

(Fukuzawa’s love for strays, unfortunately, devastatingly, rubbed off on them all.)

Nezu smiled pleasantly, but the image was disturbed by the presence of his pointy little teeth. Shouta sometimes forgot that Nezu wasn't human, even within the expanded definition of Mutation Quirks.

"We'd be sorely disappointed to miss an opportunity to begin an… alliance, of sorts, with the Port Mafia. With both them and the MPD attempting to find Kawabata-jukeisha, it’d be perfect timing to secure a certain cooperative attitude with Yokohama—with Yuuei acting on behalf of Musutafu, of course.”

summary:

“How’s U.A.? Does it live up to the general public’s expectations?” Ranpo, walking with his hands crossed behind his head, wondered.

“I literally witnessed an attempted murder, discrimination, bullying and experienced a Villain attack in the first month here, Ranpo-senpai,” Kyouka deadpanned.

“Is that a yes?”
