Something which will always bother me is the depiction of Soukoku as being on uneven footing (in Fic/Fanart). Either because Chuuya is too stupid for Dazai or Dazai is too weak for Chuuya. Something something that’s literally counter to their entire purpose in the narrative. And to see them as being unbalanced is to completely miss the point of what makes them so effective as a team.

#nothing in particular inspired this I was just thinking about how ANNOYING some takes are lmao #BSD #Soukoku #bungou stray dogs #they compliment and complete each other thats the point #they certainly contrast yes but in the same vein as shin soukoku they do nOT have a power imbalance #and I think that’s why Chuuya being pathetically in love with dazai annoys me too cuz it implies that like #he’s in love with someone who is using him almost #which implies an inherent power imbalance because dazai is the ‘smarter’ one
