#so u only get dazai yapping

[sabh0]

Meanwhile Chuuya's love language is jumping out of an airplane and fighting a dragon in an-almost-suicide mission

[nmakii]

omg bachira, isagi, tetchou and dazai with an autistic s/o PLEASE

if you will , make them headcanons ^^ hope you have a wonderhoy day !!

hello, my alien. we’re each other’s mystery

— bachira + isagi + tetchou + dazai x autistic!s/o

so basically all of them x me i see.. i feel like i fucked up on isagi i cant pinpoint his personality ugh. debut into bllk omg im shy hi reentry into bsd too haha if u guys were active in 2022 i think i am familiar. WAIT NOTE AB THE TITLE… LISTEN TO FRIENDS BY BTS IM NOT ABLEIST ITS SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE :(

— bachira meguru

lets be honest he is also a bit autistic…

very hard to be around when you’re overstimmed ngl… he tries to tone it down when he knows you cant handle too much at the moment. but it’s hard for him to just dial the craziness to 50 😞

oh, very good though at getting you out of social situations. he can slip the two of you out of a party like it’s nobody’s business, cause it is nobody’s business :x

hes also a bit of a wild card too if you’re obsessive about having a routine. he’s a free spirit, so having to do things the same way is a bit of a chore.

when you go non-verbal, he brings out a notebook that you two write your conversations on. he doesn’t actually have to write it down. he can communicate just fine, but he likes to write them down as a memento of your relationship.

he alsoooo likes listening to you yap about your special interest! very attentive, you’d think that you’re a professor and he’s your student at how the flow of your conversation is going

“huh— where did bachira and s/o go..?” isagi asked. he turned around, looking for the two of you after the sudden realization that he was abandoned in the middle of the buffet line…

bachira pulled you out, and in an abandoned hall. he noticed you suddenly started plugging your ears.

‘you ok sunshine? :( is the music too loud?’

‘a little bit… i just wanna get away for like 5 min..’

‘hehe, dont worry. ill stay with you （╹◡╹） <3’

‘ty meg :) <3’

bachira smiled as he saw your hand-drawn emoticon. the two of you doodled all over the notebook while he hummed until you were ready to return.

isagi groaned as he saw the two of you reenter. “you guys..! you should’ve told me if you were gonna sneak away!” bachira stuck out his tongue, making a silly expression. “oops! it just slipped my mind!” he snickered.

— isagi yoichi

with the geniuses he has to keep up with, you’re a total walk in the park for him ;p

mega caretaker, he’s super good at protecting you in uncomfortable environments. i feel like he has a weighted blanket somewhere in his room to cover you with, cause he knows it makes you feel safe.

he lowk overprotective sometimes though. he knows his friends like bachira and raichi are a bit more on the raucous side, so he doesn’t hang out with them when he’s with you until like… 2 years into your relationship (they lowk didnt even know he had a partner). in those two years, he only introduced you to his peaceful friends like nagi, hiori, iemon, and kuon

he doesn’t fight you too much about if you have a routine. he has a luck routine and his spacial awareness makes him really meticulous about how things happen, so he’s gets your struggle :x

he tried learning sign language. he really tried… but there was so much signs; for an entire month, his search history was ‘how do i say [thing] in sign language’

he ended up only learning the alphabet, numbers, and basic words like please and hungry. now when you go non-verbal, he simply just opens his notes app for you to type ;p

he, like bachira, loves your yap. its like his personal podcast fr. he likes to let you sit on the kitchen counter and yap, while he washes dishes. he also likes putting on wireless headsets and listen to your voice messages while he practices, or works out at the gym.

“are you absolutely sure you wanna meet them?” isagi asks. “babe, theyre my friends, but theyre also kind of annoying.” he warns you. of course he meant it lovingly… you nod. “yup! they’re your friends, yoi. i wanna meet them..!”

he sighs and nods. “fine… don’t say i didn’t warn you…” he opens the door. you recognize kunigami, he’s talking with chigiri. “isagi! there you areee~!” a boy with a bob-cut hums. “ah, bachira… this is s/o.” isagi points to you. “ooh~! nice to meet you! im bachira meguru. so you’re the one isagi’s been hiding?”

“don’t overwhelm them too much…” isagi sighs, he pulls you away carefully, bringing you in kunigami’s direction. if you settled in with people you were already acquainted with, then you should probably adjust better. that was isagi’s conclusion. “if any of them pester you, just tell me, okay?”

you nod, a bit saddened at your’s and bachira’s conversation’s sudden end. “im not a kid, yoi. you don’t have to worry over me or anything.” isagi frowns. “hnn… i just don’t want my friends overstimulating you. they might be too much for you, babe.” he explains. at that moment, igaguri suddenly yelled out at gagamaru for taking one of his gyozas, making you instinctively cover your ears.

“seeee?” he points out. “okay… point taken… but, i can still deal with it. if im uncomfortable, ill just tell you, okay?” you offer, trying to compromise. isagi looks around, weighing the possibilities before nodding. “finee…”

that day actually went quite well, you were able to keep up with all of them without getting overstimulated. that night, isagi had his face in his pillow, his face being that of death and grief. ‘they dont need me anymore… theyre gonna end up hanging out with my friends more than me…’ he mumbles.

— tetchou suehiro

another lowk might be autistic (but in a diff way)

he isnt too sure about what to do when you’re overstimmed. so, he usually just takes you to a quiet place and sits down with you until you’re calmer.

hes hella conflicted on whether or not he should introduce you to the hunting dogs. his line of work is pretty dangerous after all, and his co-workers aren’t exactly… pacifists 💀

he ends up deciding not to though. worst comes to worst, he just introduces you 5 years in to your relationship— thats what he thinks.

he doesnt mind your routine. he, himself, is pretty eccentric, so you two are just okay with each other’s quirks :x

tetchou doesnt care when you go non-verbal. lol. okay joke, its more like, he’s also very quiet, he doesn’t even actually notice that you two havent talked to each other for 14 hours.

but when the two of you are talking, he is still as quiet as ever. it’s usually you yapping and tetchou asking questions once in a while. never though, does he ever interrupt you when you talk; always waits for you to finish what you’re saying so you dont lose your train of thought 🫡

tetchou spreads some spicy ranch on his pancakes. it was a pretty good combo. he sat at the dining table, as he heard your alarm clock ring.

first thing you do when you wake up, stretch then use the bathroom. tetchou has your routine memorized by now. second, have cereal for breakfast. third, get dressed. fourth, check if your bag has everything you need. he continues his own routine, and you complete yours, until it’s time to head to work.

you’re double, triple, quadruple checking your bag, making sure you didn’t leave anything. tetchou finished lacing up the strings of his boots before he rises back. “ready for work?” he asks, taking his own little peek into your bag.

“uhuh” you nod. tetchou hums, noticing the charger you left on the counter, and slipping it into your bag. “now you are…”. you gasp, “so that’s what i forgot… thank you, chou..” you say. his deep voice vibrates in his throat as he leans in and kisses you, “stay safe. call me if you need anything.” you wrap your arms around his neck.

last part of your routine, hug and kiss tetchou before leaving for work.

— osamu dazai

he lowk adhd u feel?

when youre overstimmed, he lets you lay on his shoulder while he pats your back and brushes your hair. times like this are his personal favorites, it’s when the world is quiet and no one but you and him exists.

defdefdef introduces you to the ADA members. he finds you similar to kyoka, and always encourages you to hang out with her.

adding on that, he sort of sees akutagawa in you… is akutagawa also autistic? hmm… either way, hes a criminal! he cant let his partner interact with a criminal! — the criminal says after diner dashing again.

the routine thing doesnt really work for dazai either… it’s either you break up with him or let him wake up at 4:00 to eat noodles and rearrange the layout of his dorm, bestie… (just leaves his pot in the sink btw, he a bum like that)

actually knows sign language! dont ask me why he knows, bc i dunno either. he just does :x

he also loves to listen to your yap. actual yapper x yapper. you two’s conversations are lowk exhausting though. you both interrupt each other and talk until you’re both breathless. HAHAHAAH

sluuuuuuurp!

you’re waken up by the loud, really gross, squelching sounds of dazai’s saucy noodles as he slurps them up. the sound is uncomfortable— really uncomfortable.

“s—samu… dont… too loud…” you groan, trying to cover your ears. dazai perks up, “ah, did i wake you..? awh, im sorry, dear..!” he apologizes. even though dazai truly meant it, for some reason it just sounded like sarcasm. “uhuh… j…just dont do it again… trying to sleep…” you hum. “got it… go back to sleep, sweets”

for the rest of the night, you sleep well. dazai makes sure to remain veeeery quiet, taking bites of his noodles rather than slurping, carrying his feet, and using all of his hidden muscles to carry his bookshelf. maybe if he keeps doing this, he wont look so lanky anymore.

at around 6:30, you finally wake up again, your surroundings completely different, and you start to panic. “wh—h..huh..?” you look around. dazai’s in the closet, rolling all of his empty beer bottles into it. “hi, baby! just decided to tidy up a bit. you like?” he asks

tidy up? “tidy up, my ass..! all of your stuff is in different places..! i have to relearn my way around your dorm all over again..!” you complain. “hehe… it was for a good cause! you have your own space now in here!” he grins, opening the second to the bottom drawer in his dresser. it was tidied up, and empty.

“for me?” you ask. “mmhm.” he confirms with a hum. even though dazai was quite lazy, stubborn, and annoying, he really put effort into making you happy. just you.

[truly-a-snitch]

Hii can I request ranpo and chuuya with an s/o that has a kitsune type ability? like they can turn into one fully and can also semi transform with just the ears and tail, you can make it female or gender neutral

dang ranpo is popular LMAO not that im complaining hes my little meow meow ^_^ also i went w gn reader bc i dont write fem reader !! also u didnt say if u wanted hcs or not but i went w hcs if u wanted drabbles or fics feel free to ask again !!

WARNINGS: a bit suggestive in chuuyas but nothing explicit

---

chuuya and ranpo with a kitsune ability user s/o

chuuya

kitsune are born tricksters, being yokai, and those with kitsune abilities are certainly no different ! while your affinity for practical jokes may grate on chuuya, you are still his s/o at the end of the day

(he would NOT be dating you if he didnt want to trust me)

when you’re partially transformed (or fully transformed) he tries to watch how loud he gets since he’s not very good at volume control and he doesn’t want to hurt your ears

he likes to scratch behind your ears or pet your tail !! he does it mindlessly tbh, even though he can’t feel your fur through his gloves he likes hearing you react or feeling your ears/tail twitch

he also likes hearing and seeing your foxlike mannerisms ! he can always tell if somebody is getting on your nerves because of your gekkering, and he’s particularly fond of when you nuzzle up to him or the way you ‘shadow’ him (trailing behind him)

chuuya probably has a book or two on his bookshelf about fox mannerisms just so he understands your body language a bit better

one thing he had to get used to was just how talkative you were. foxes are very social creatures, and much of that crossed over into your personality

luckily for you, he likes listening to you talk

if you have claws, he thinks thats really cool (he's into it in a sexy way)

the shapeshifting throws him off not gonna lie. especially because you're so smart as a result of your ability. however he loves watching you mess with people by turning into other people

ranpo

ranpo is 100% THE BEST audience for your illusion tricks. he will sit next to you/in your lap/literally anywhere he can see you and demand that you do your silly little illusory tricks

he thinks your fox form is absolutely precious. he loves petting you and carrying you around on his shoulders

joins in on your pranks all the time fr !! he helps you make them more unpredictable

so far, you've gotten everybody in the agency... except dazai, who keeps seeing through your plans. you've gotten ranpo, but he 'let you' (you aren't sure if he actually did)

mimics your fox noises ! you start yapping ? he yaps back. you bark ? he barks right back !

hes been a play wrestler ever since he found out that it's a way that fox kits blow off steam. any form of physical touch is a big yes for him, but especially wrestling. it's the only way he expends energy he doesn't absolutely have to

(its probably nostalgic for you, since you likely would have done it as a child/right when your ability presented)

prank wars are common between you two as well !!

he's talkative ! he loves talking and you two will frequently go on dates where you just infodump at each other over a meal

he likes to play with your tail and ears a lot !!

[yoursminehourss]

oh great bestower of disorder headcanons tell me your hcs for the bar lupin trio

this is the funniest way anyones every phrased this . on it boss

first of all these bitches ALL got autism. trust me. ptsd too probably

i think dazai and ango both have dissociative disorders & insomnia . again trust

the narrative supports like 18 billion personality disorders for dazai but im very set on him having bpd & aspd . maybe even did/osdd if you wanna hear me yap for three hours

circling back to oda aside from the definite autism im actually not sure what else for him, hes definitely got kind of low empathy “oh theres narrative details that show he has empathy” SHUT UP

id argue angos got ppd and ocpd . idk i only tjink about ango on occasion wnd when i do i get so upset i punch tbings

thank u for ur time

[iztea]

Sooo you said you drew a black sun symbol in your drawings to represent Dazai and a star for Chuuya, right? It kinda reminded of that one French song, L'oiseau et l'enfant (The Bird and The Child) because at one point the lyrics say smth like "I'm just a child of darkness, Who sees the Star shine at night, Oh you my Star that weaves my ring, Come and light up my black Sun" and the song is just sooo beautiful overall and I just wanted to recommened it to you TuT Older French songs have the same vibe in general :D They have the most non-sensical yet poetic lyrics that seem to be written by a drunk man slapped onto the most beautiful melodies ever (imo at least) and I thought, considering your artstyle, it might bring you some inspiration :0000 I haven't slept in three days and idk what I'm saying probably but yeaaaaah if you are interested, I'd recommend :

- Vanessa Paradis -> plsss listen to Il y a and Divine Idylle

- Tryo -> Désolé pour hier soir, Toi et moi

- Noir Désir -> Le vent nous portera, Comme elle vient

- Renaud -> Manhattan-Kaboul, Dès que le vent soufflera, Mistral Gagnant

- Louise Attaque -> J't'emmène au vent

- JJG -> Je te donne, Quand la musique est bonne

- Céline Dion (well I'm sure yk her already but...) -> Destin

- Olivia Ruiz -> J'traine des pieds, La femme chocolat

- Indochine -> J'ai demande à la lune, L'aventurier

And if you're really really interested, there are some classics like Les lacs du Connemara by Sardou or Les démons de minuit by Images or Santiano by Aufray or Macia Baïla by Rita Mitsouko.... or anything by KIDS UNITED (they made covers of famous songs so it's easier to get more exposure through them :D) or Jenifer or Zazie or maybe even La Compagnie Créole, Mozart Opéra Rock or Le Rouge et le Noir. There's also Indila but she's already pretty popular because of Tik Tok so yeah....

(did I just want an excuse to yap about French music? yeah probably, but I really hope you enjoy it TuT sorry you had to read through of all this lmao ToTTTT)

anon, you move like a kpoppie but for french music 😭 you're an Fpopper... a Fropper.. froppie?

jk jk ofc, thank you for the song recs! i do actually like to listen to french music (albeit mostly old vibey opera(?) music) i've given the first one a listen and i love it! Maybe this is my que to learn the language better through the lyrics so i can rizz up Clorinde Genshin impact haha.. i only know Indila from your list bc she had that hit in like 2013 that took over the world (rightfully so, it's banger) so i'm very excited to give the others a listen and maybe find some art inspo like u mentioned! thanks again smooch ♡◇♡

Guys Verlaine if he wasn't a loser and also was a magical girl from hit animanga series Madoka Magica 🙀🙀 (and also a gal :3)

get ready 4 my yapping (and better quality close-ups) below!!!!

Okay so in this AU them and Rimbaud r both 19!!!

Verlaine's wish was to bring Chuuya back after he went missing; Chuuya disappeared at 5 and was gone for two years before Kyuubey showed up.

In this Chuuya's 14 and came back @ 7 so Verlaine would've made their contract at 12!!! (They've been a magical girl 4 a hot minute)

They still keep a lot of the whole "I'm not human" edginess but this time it's over being a magical girl (bro did NOT react well to finding out abt the soul gem thing). Them nd Rimbaud have a bit of a better relationship than canon cuz Rimbaud's also a magical girl so Verlaine actually feels understood in this universe.

Story-wise they both were doin pretty good until an amount of circumstances led to them having to kill Walpurgisnacht on their own. While they did succeed, they both had completely used up all their magic and were gonna become witches </3

Rimbaud pulls a Madoka and sacrifices himself with their only grief seed :( Verlaine's forced to kill Rimbaud (or the witch that used 2 be Rimbaud el oh el) and it fucks him up a little :3

Verlaine's super devastated cuz bro lost the only person who understood them and they essentially gave up on living; so they decide to just start killing witches (and quite a few magical girls!!!!). It doesn't take long for them to transform into their own witch and get killed (probably by Chuuya nd Dazai) </3

OK DESIGN DETAILS!!!

Their weapon is a sniper rifle, it's magical so they can summon it but only one at a time so not like Mami's many revolvers!! It can shoot lil mini black holes and it's pretty fancy :3

Also close-up of the Soul Gem this took like 4 tries to look okay </3

Their outfit's pretty similar, I gave them like a huge coat that they don't rlly wear cuz it'd be so impractical in battles </3 also the design on their gloves and tights are supposed to mimic brutalisation :3

(also if u look real close they have heterochromia yippee!!!)

MY FAV PART THE WITCH FORM

The runes (hopefully) spell out Guivre cuz that's the name of Verlaine's witch form :3

I wanted to reference what's described in Stormbringer so the "tail" nd "head" are inspired by that tomfoolery!! It's also supposed to mimic a dragon with butterfly wings instead of normal wings (idk why i drew butterfly wings they're just fun ig) and it also has horns :3

The lil halo thing in the back's supposed to look divine in a way????? also it just looks cool

meow

Im gonna draw Rimbaud in the future but 4 now I'm done yapping thanks 4 reading this :3

ALSO this started like 2 years ago when Pinterest did this!!!

and then my wife drew the first iteration of magical girl verlaine...

:3

[sickficideas]

omg maybelle im so sorry to hear that youre going through it … my liege we love you !!! i am also going through it, i feel you, we can be in these trenches together. may i offer you some assorted chronic pain hcs in the meantime:

atsushi is my chronic pain PRINCESS, especially his leg/knee because he is ALWAYS GETTING HIS LEG CUT OFF /STABBED / ETC WTF !! So i think he has one bad/weak knee (i dont remember which it is in the anime but i like to think its the left 1 bc thats My bad leg) and he sometimes has to wear a knee brace on bad pain days. i feel like everyone in the ada office slowly starts to clock in on when atsushi’s doing bad even just by how he walks in the door, cos even tho he tries to hide it he unconsciously shifts his weight around depending on his pain that day. so i think they do little things for him— bringing his papers to his desk rather than having him get up, trying to only send him on errands to single-story buildings/buildings with elevators and so on. i love the ada family that is always shifting just so how it functions to accommodate for the people within ❤️

chuuya is also my chronic pain princess but more full-body… ive always imagined that the genetic testing and experimentation fucked him UP along with being in a body that wasn’t meant to have an ability. so i think chuuya has all different joints that get achey all the time and hes just learnt to compartmentalize that shooting pain until he gets a chance to sit down in his office for a while. my poor overworked little meow meow. i think he also uses his ability to try to make it better! to take weight off of specific joints when hes walking/moving so that its less painful. and this is just One facet of my literal list of post corruption chuuya hcs do NOT get me started

i also feel similarly about sigma what with the not being a natural human, so i think sigma’s body just. Is Wrong sometimes, like it remembers that it wasn’t really supposed to exist. he’ll crack his neck or his back and then have to do it a couple more times until something clicks back into place. i also think sigma has bad eyesight… projecting glasses onto him too. in my mind ever member of kunichuusigzai needs glasses to some degree dazai just never wears his because he cant be assed and chuuya only wears his in the office.

other characters i have less developed chronic pain hcs about but like i Know they have it are poe, mushitaro and both of the akutagawas… ryuu especially though of course like ofc he always has chest pain that branches out to his back and neck and shoulders. of COURSE!!

ANYWAYS OMG IM SO SORRY FOR YAPPING SO MUCH ive just been brewing these thoughts for a while LOL i hope u feel better soon maybelle 🌼🌼🌼🌼 faithfully yours @s2reason-living

THESE ARE SO GOOD!!!! I'm so sorry it took me a while to get to these but they're so good and I love getting love headcanon messages from other people this is beautiful....

I am mentally adopting the Atsushi bad left knee headcanon....it makes so much sense and I love the idea of it being like quietly noticed by others and they help accommodate him 💖 and Chuuya😭😭😭 post corruption Chuuya has incredible potential I loved everything you mentioned and I love the idea of it getting worse over time....my poor sweet prince

Sigmas body being Different makes so much sense too and the bad eyesight HARD AGREE !! He has no idea for a long time until Dazai points out he needs glasses and he's like what??? When we finally gets a pair his life is changed...and don't get me started on chronlc pain Akutagawa AHHHGHH you're so genius from chest pain yes....my poor baby

[booksandpaperss]

TEEHEE IM BACK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY PRIVILEGES. can i have death loop snippet pls for me🙏 and dapples convo i need it desperately. AND ALSO. anything ANYTHING from any of ur original works. crawling across the floor like PLEASEEE ELLI OC INFO.....

so happy to see you accessing the wife privileges 🙏 ask and you shall receive ❤️❤️

death loop snippet from the start of chapter 3:

Chuuya still remembers the vivid, searing press of Dazai’s lips against his, etched into the very groves of his memory. In a way he knew he’d never be able to forget from the moment he’d recklessly thrown himself across the line. It had been Dazai’s birthday, but in the singular moment of lips on his it was Chuuya that felt the glorious thrill of free-fall. But you can’t have a fall without gravity. Just a few months later, Sakunosuke Oda was killed, Dazai left, and Chuuya hit the ground. Hard. 

aka chuuya reminiscing about his and dazai’s one and only kiss bc he’s a LOSER

for dapples convo:

since you’ve been begging me for this one for a hot second I shall graciously give you a snippet and the summary 🫶🫶

sum:

Chuuya and Dazai get an opportunity to really talk for the first time in years, and for the first time, they take it. A moment alone amidst the chaos.

and the snippet:

“I get it now. Why you had to leave, I mean.”  There must’ve been something in Chuuya’s tone, because suddenly it’s like Dazai sees him in a completely different light. His expression is far, far more open than Chuuya is used to, though still barely a movement for the average person. He can see Dazai’s mind racing, calculating possibilities and outcomes and just once, Chuuya wishes he would simply stop and feel.  Eventually, Dazai says slowly, carefully, “I… honestly didn’t think you would care.” 

this was actually the only part I have written so far that I could share here bc this gets… distinctly hornier later. I have literally no excuses for myself

okay and for the original:

since I’ve already yapped to u abt everlasting quite a bit I’ll tell u a little bit abt love me like a poet loved too late <3 it’s basically this idea I had for a sapphic romance book! and I will dm this one to u bc I am rather cagey abt my original ideas SORRY anyone else who is reading this but discord mutuals if ur rlly curious u can always msg me abt it ofc

[elizais]

elizai what do you think about the book cover of no longer human? the pink one with the black silhouette?

ARgh thank you for sending this!! one thing everyone will come to learn about me is i love analysing this type of stuff.

also i giggle when i see the cover because one time in an english lesson like 2 years ago my teacher was yapping on about how book covers have to reflect the mood of the book and she said, "for example, you won't have a sad book with a hot pink cover." and i had no longer human on my desk and she had read it bcs she runs my school's library and she bought it for me and it was my moment to shine by proving her WRONG!! she is my bff though

okay i'll do it now!

no real spoilers, i just talk about how the MC feels but if u have watched bsd with your eyes open and know a little about dazai you will get the jist of what i'm talking about.

OKAY! initially, you need to state the obvious. which is it is a human-like black figure on a hot pink background. that is essentially it. but !!! if u saw what i said about like those bsd scenes on that one reblog you know i love colour symbolism!!

so: hot pink: "playful, sociable, optimism, amusing/humorous" and if you have read the book, you know that yozo oba takes up a personality of entertaining others through his actions during his school days. attempting to be a "class clown" type. i don't own a copy of the book but if i did i would pull up quotes TRUST!!

so (younger) yozo does seem to represent these characteristics - maybe not optimism but that is up to reader's interpretation in my opinion.

but the interesting part of the cover is the figure. it takes the shape of a person, roughly at least, yet isn't defined enough. its torso is quite large in proportion to the head, the shoulders curve too easily..

and the title is "no longer human", and yozo doesn't feel human. if you are only familiar with fictional dazai, he is loosely based off of yozo oba. once you read the book, you will pick up similarities between them consistently.

but yozo doesn't feel human, so that figure on the front is just that. a figure, a symbol of the emptiness he feels inside. he knows that physically he is human, which is why as a consumer we can see that the figure resembles something like us, but he doesn't let his soul feel that way.

possibly, the torso is so disproportionate compared to the head because he is harbouring the loneliness, longing and the rest of his dull emotions within.

may i also add, we can just see these recognisable parts of a human which is how yozo feels. you can tell he is a human physically but not emotionally. as an audience, you do not form any attachment to the person on the cover as there just.. isn't much to see? which is why whoever designed it done such a good job with it. granted, i am probably thinking about this much more than they did but it is truly a fantastic cover.

as i write this, i am kicking myself for not having a copy of the book with me because i would be able to write much more for you! i do love writing analyses, so if people ask i would be more than happy to write some more if i am confident enough in them. but i think i mostly like to do them because i talk a lot and can talk about anything.

[lvcisaliaa]

self righteous mfs who think they're so emotionally mature, but the only things they can do is try so hard to seem so kind and helpful, by saying the same shit every single self help channel says bro 💀

no ure not thewizardliz, ur only advice is just "cut them off" after someone yaps about a minor inconvenience. (some people deserve to be removed from someone's life but not over shit that could be easily communicated n shit >< rn im calling myself out too bc i used to be like that... :<)

no ure not emotionally mature, you just got pissed off after i bruised your big ass ego once. like, imagine getting mad at me for not finding u that good of a person. not being a bigot is the bare fucking minimum, i won't worship the ground u walk on if you don't hate on marginalized communities.

if ur ego gets hurt when u find out i don't have any exceptions in mind when i tell you i have trust issues. i don't trust anybody, geniuenly, not even my closest friends. most of the time i'm proven right anyways.

no u don't "have bpd" you would have a terrible reaction if someone were to split on u. it's easy to romanticize a disorder but not to actually suffer from it(i am undiagnosed and i don't self diagnose, i do not suffer from bpd and im grateful for it. ^^)

if u romanticize dazai osamu's character and hate people who have his traits i will show up at ur doorstep and bite your kneecaps.

(i am saying this as a joke before anyone makes a call out thread on me lmfao)

still, if anyone romanticizes a character that they would def hate in real life, that is ugly bitch behaviour :33 ure ugly nobody likes u

I need to rant with someone about how this fandom thinks Chuuya's stupid, or gullible, and how Dazai uses him all the time without him even realizing, which hurts Chuuya's feelings like...

What the fuck did y'all read, where did that dynamic even comes from?? Why do you want to make Chuuya look pathetic????

They are PARTNERS. If Dazai only considered him a puppet, they would NOT work so well together, nor have the dynamic they do, they balance each other out while understanding each other completely, PLEASE.

Yes, Chuuya follows Dazai's plans most of the time, because they WORK. When Dazai doesn't give him the entire thing, it's because he trusts Chuuya to understand his intentions anyway, because they know each so well, I am going to SCREAM.

SO TRUE!!! EVERY TIME I SEE PPL CALL CHUUYA STUPID OR SMTH I GO BONKERS,, Asagiri himself said that Chuuya is Dazai level genius,,

And the fact he goes along with Dazai's plans is literally the fact he trusts him?? He literally said it out loud a few times. No idea where ppl r getting that whole thing about him being some pathetic little guy who can't think for himself,, if he didn't want to do something then he wouldn't and that's it 😭😭

The same goes for ppl who make Dazai look like he can't handle himself in a fight or smth,, ghey literally push the dynamic of 'brains and brawn' onto skk like aughh!! Obviously Chuuya is a much better fighter, but Dazai is not a twig that won't be able to lift a finger in a fight??? He does perfectly fine against Atsushi's tiger, running and jumping around,,, or in the Dazai's Entrance Exam novel where he was fighting that big buff guy - obviously he's not a martial artist so it would be quite hard to fight someone twice as big as you, but he still managed to hit him a few times with some tricks,,, also he's pretty athletic considering the way he escaped in the Dragon's Head Conflict (uhh sab u just started yapping sbout a completely different topic))

[rainswept]

ok i’m gonna yap. these are Not in chronological order so it doesn’t matter what u read 😭

Everyone comes into the world bathed in blood. But Dazai Osamu—an infected wound, a deadly disease, a child—never shed it, that human birthright. The first time he kills someone, fourteen years old, he doesn’t feel any dirtier than he already was.

this is the only line i like. and i completely bullshitted it because i didn’t (and still don’t, help) know when his dumb ass first killed someone. anyway the “he doesn’t feel any dirtier than he already was” ties into what i’ll explain in the next paragraph

The more blood that spills, cakes under his nails, less changes, really, because though he was born for killing, born a shadow, born to be a member of the Port Mafia, it was still new, that iron smell—yes, it haunted him, in every cut, in every scar—but that was his, his decomposition, his recklessness, his wounds, tempting death, not death itself. It still took getting used to. The hollowness of life was intuition; the decay and rot of death was known, but not as intimately. (He’d find it to be a dear friend eventually.)

i like this one too i lied. this was after a couple paragraphs talking about how he’s forgotten how many people he’s killed, to emphasize how many there are and how bad of a person he thinks himself to be, i guess, just at a default? despite not really having that distinction or caring which side he’s on until oda died. i think it’s interesting to have a character hate themselves so deeply that despite not caring much for the distinction of good and evil, they know something is deeply wrong and despicable about themselves in particular (i think he held this view even before he joined the mafia, even before he killed anyone (see the prev paragraph). once again, interesting.)

And then those become rookie numbers. Those become forgivable, redeemable numbers. At sixteen years old, he is the youngest executive in Port Mafia history, and he has killed more times than he has wished himself dead.

and i thought this one was funny bc that dumb ass definitely has NOT killed more times than he’s wished himself dead. what was it like a hundred something people he killed? yeah no way. again a fun way to emphasize it though, considering that fact

The body twitched once, fell to the ground. He jumped back to avoid being crushed. (Under the weight of the body. Not under the weight of what he did. In fact, that weight felt very, very light, for the first time in his life, skulking in the darkest corners of Yokohama—fearful, fearful, everything is more powerful than I am—a cornered mouse with a nine-hundred-beat-per-minute heart amongst the cats, dregs and downcasts. Now he was no longer afraid. Now, fourteen year old Dazai Osamu decides, he never would be again.) You can’t be afraid, he reasons, the blood covering him slowly going cold, if you are feared. So, fourteen-year-old Dazai—he will climb his way up the ranks. He will dredge out each and every one of the dregs and he will declaw every cat and he will run, run, run, run. (And then he was again.)

idk if it makes sense. i wrote a lot of this late at night (i’m pretty sure. i wrote these a couple months ago. HELP). also the “nine hundred beats per minute” was a reference to how fast mice’s hearts can beat when they’re afraid; i was continuously making references to ‘cat and mouse’ type things throughout the fic, comparing him to both the cat and the mouse in different scenarios. also the “everything is more powerful than i am”, he has an ability but it only works to nullify others—everyone else with an ability literally has more.. ‘powers’ than he does. if that makes sense

He stares at the stab wound. His hands, still too human to hold the knife steady, yank up—the blade tears free from the flesh, and he swears he can hear a heartbeat racing still. (It’s his. Unbeknownst to him, he was alive, he was human. He was scared. Just a bit. Nine hundred beats per minute.)

this was following the first time he killed someone, hence the “his hands, still too human to hold the knife steady”, implying a bit of hesitation or fear, humanity still intact. Do I Make Sense. also this ties back into the other paragraph that mentions the 900 bpm.

Dazai Osamu is sixteen years old, and he has been killing for longer than he hasn’t. Egos (his own), ideas (others’, his sometimes, because an intelligent person knows how to admit they are wrong). People. Himself, in little ways, slowly chipping away until he is gone for good. (“Himself” is not included in “people”, because Dazai Osamu is not human.)

the fic was titled “ego death”, at least as a placeholder — a "complete loss of subjective self-identity". i thought it was fitting, so i tied it back in here. also “‘himself is not included in ‘people,’ because dazai osamu is not human.” is a direct contradiction to the underlying theme of the rest of the fic—he used to be, he is, and he always was. his thought process is denying what is so obvious with context.

How far must you go until you’ve dug yourself too deep into the ground? Are you still human when you’re dead—are the most despicable beasts now more so than the best, if the former are breathing and the latter are buried?

this was in reference to oda (“the best”, “buried”) from dazai’s (“despicable beasts,” “breathing”) pov, right after a little paragraph about his death

Humanity is an easy enough concept to grasp. He observes dutifully, like the curious outsider he is: he peels them with his eyes (soulless), looks at their core (filled with much more soul than he), sinewy, shadowy and tangled, familiar; easy, and he runs with it. Curiosity kills the cat—for once in his life he is glad to be a mouse.

again w the cat and mouse stuff. i referred to young dazai as a mouse more often, and him as he grew up as the cat (killing and chasing his humanity away) but i still referred to him like that there to kind of imply he’s not as strong and invulnerable as others see him. does that make sense? there were also a lot of ties to hidden fear, because i find it hard to believe that a fucking 14 year old was not at least a little shaken by the life he’s lead so far, whether he’s a master at hiding it or not

(Dazai Osamu is still afraid. Not of death, never of death—not of pain, either, though he was never a fan—not of torture, or the dark of Yokohama, no, he was born for that. He still couldn’t put a name to where his fears came from. It only sinks in deeper with each time he pulls the trigger—perhaps there is one cat he forgot to declaw.)

the “cat he forgot to declaw” was himswlf yk,,,, he’s at the top of the food chain in the pm now, but the worst thing to ever threaten him was himself. the greatest misfortune for dazai’s enemies is that they are dazai’s enemies yk. something something dazai is his own enemy something

ANYWAY IDK he hurts my brain. i want to finish this but i also don’t because i think my characterization is a bit off. but whatever. nobody will ever see this but the people that follow me so 🔥🔥🔥 i can afford to be a bit ooc

on the topic of whether or not i’m going to post something for dazai tomorrow felicity reminded me about that draft i had

[sabh0]

Is skk abusive? Other than the name calling and banter that I just don't take seriously, I've seen people say that Dazai is abusive since he planned for Chuuya to be tortured in stormbringer and didn't help because it would be boring, despite having the ability to do so. There's also the whole manipulating the sheep thing.

I've also seen people say that Chuuya is abusive because of how violent he is, how he punched Dazai to wake him up in Dead Apple and called him inhuman(? Ngl, I don't remember that part) and because Chuuya shot him more times than necessary in Meursault.

Personally, I struggle to see them as abusive r toxic, if only because of how much they trust and understand each other, and how they rile each other up for fun without letting it actually impact their relationship, but I may just be biased? What do you think?

Ok im just gonna say - dont take this post ad some 100% real wisdom or anything. It's just my personal opinion and it's definitely biased as well because of how much these two mean to me but yeah

I wouldn't call them abusive in relationship terms because all that banter and most of their fights are just, as u said it, unserious.

They're both fucked up a bit tho, so yeah there's definitely some toxic behaviours anyway.

Dazai manipulating Chuuya to join the sheep always made me real sad, but if you think about it more - Dazai knew The Sheep aren't any better for Chuuya. Plus if not like this, Mori would get Chuuya to join PM anyway in one way or another, since it was a plan from the beginning.

Dazai planned the whole 'helping Verlaine' thing to buy time so the PM forces could get ready to protect Mori and Chuuya later. That's mafia they're in - lives are not equal. Also Dazai wouldn't put Chuuya in danger he knew the other wouldn't be able to deal with. Either way, his whole yapping about wanting to see Chuuya being tortured is yet again that stupidly weird banter of theirs. After all, he's trying to find him and literally stop him from doing something he would regret. (Sab is trying to make some points but that still doesn't make whatever Dazai did something good. Just sayin. I just don't feel it's a black or white situation.)

I said it some time ago but lord, Chuuya is not abusive. Look, he knows when it's alright to fight Dazai and when he should stop himself not to hurt him. Even if they fight, he never does it seriously. Basement scene? He could've very well just punched Dazai without warning there. But instead he literally invited him to fight - and Dazai very much agreed to that sht with a smile on his lips. They're just very much not okay in the head on both sides. Later when Chuuya actually got angry, he himself threw his knife to the ground, which only shows he doesn't really have any intent of hurting Dazai seriously (In the manga. In the anime they changed it for whatever reason and he did strike him with the knife. But anime skk is just. Anime skk.).

That Dead Apple argument is so funny bc??? Chuuya was literally UNDER CORRUPTION AT THE TIME??? Corruption literally makes him lose control. He could kill a person with one touch. Instead??? Corruption Chuuya in dead apple somehow managed to hold himself back just enough not to actually hurt Dazai. Also, Dazai f knew he's gonna punch him anyway. I mean, bro kinda deserved it atp tbh /j

Cant really tell much about the shooting thing in Meursault - i stil have no f idea if these were even real, considering the fact Dazai is moving normally and there's no wounds/holes/blood visible on him or his clothes. These were probably just a play like the whole headshot thing?? (Tho dazai's scream and expression after that arm shot say otherwise),, really don't know, call it a better impression on Fyodor or Chuuya actually paying Dazai back for the other times

Ok so ,looks at all that sht i just wrote and tried to still excuse it somehow, I wouldn't call them abusive anyway just bc I've seen actual abusive relationships in real life and that's just uhh different in a way i cant really put my finger on,, there's some toxicity simply from the fact they're emotionally constipated and won't talk things thru like they should but,,, welp. Tbh i see most of their usual fighting as something unserious that both of em r okay with. Usually when they actually get into an argument about something it's because one actually got hurt by the other's words (for example that scene with Chuuya punching Dazai after he made jokes about Colonel's death). And they apologize without really apologizing, too (Dazai going to find Shibusawa and trying to take revenge on Colonel's death and later Chuuya going to rescue Dazai and saying to 'wait for him').

Unpopular opinion but i honestly feel that in the future they could very well form a normal, healthy relationship. They just really need to talk. Bickering and calling each other names for fun isn't imo really a form of abuse, when both sides know it's not meaning to hurt the other fr (if it was, then me and most of my friends would be fr abusing each other unfortunately) (and I don't feel abused even if we call each other names and say we hate each other, while watching cat reels together at the same time) (consider this some sibling-like stuff)

If nothing of whatever i just said makes sense, don't eat me please, it's just really hard for me to explain what i really think without being able to just talk for 5h straight while considering every ppint of view
