this arc of bsd has been going on so long that ive like forgotten what the actual plot is, like what is fuodor actually trying to do rn, like is he still after the book or what
funniest fact in bsd is it being canon that chuuya and kunikida both have a sixth Sense that fills them with indescribably dread whenever dazai is doing something with the intent of stressing them into an early grave
bones trying to make the bsd anime more appealing to casual anime fans is so funny bc like from what ive seen general anime fans are Not appealed by bsd theyre still just Very confused
i will always love 15 year old dazai falling so intensely and obsessively in love with this loser ginger kid and having absolutely no conceptualisation of how to normally cope with or espress such strong sudden emotions so he just went ‘ wow i should Kill This Guy’
remember in chuuyas debut chapter where hes like ‘oh the mafia heads NEVER meet unless its serious’ and makes it sound like theyre all distant and busy, but once u know that its just chuuya, kouyou, mori and verlaine it makes it seem more like they just dont fuckin like eachother
this entire chapter and the message that ‘well yeah you were abused horrificaly but in the end he was kinda right bc you did end up becoming a hero and a nicer person because of it’ is SUCH horrifically sketchy advice but makes entire sence coming out of dazais mouth
skk is so funny bc like imagine being in the mafia and your boss is like the coolest nicest prettiest and most loyal man ever but hes off the market because hes in love with osamu dazai
‘dazai wouldnt cry over chuuyas death’ that man didnt cry when oda died and he was still so devastated that he dropped his entire life direction and aquired an orphan to fullfill odas dying wish i dont think crying is the best ballpark estimate for what emotions hes feeling
i LOVE LOVE skk ‘fell first/fell harder” where 15yo dazai fell first AND harder with absolutely no way to articulate or process his feelings and no concept of affection that isnt violence
studio bones were so rude for removing the scene where naomi outsmarted john and lovecraft AND her and dazai scheming together at the beginning of Untold, they remove almost any scene where shes cool or actually interesting LMAO
any other animanga’s light novels are so chill theyre just like ‘here is a story about two people in the cast getting up to shenanigans’ and then the bsd light novels are ‘that time i nearly shot my partner bc hes so morally and socially stunted that i thought he was a terrorist’
i really wish bsd explained nore about the actual politics and discrimination in their world around ability users, like what do you mean ability users arent allowed to use their abilities for ANYTHING at work even if its just using a pocket dimension to store perishables
even if dazai does suvive this (which hes like 90% likely to) realistically theres still no way in hell this man would getting out of this not phys and mentally disabled like he got lethally poisoned, drowned, dropped down an elevator AND shot 4 times in the space of half an hour
i think dazai 100% deserves the right to slit moris throat but on the other hand id rather die then see dazai have to look in moris eyes and see him grin and know that moris last dying thought is that dazai turned out Exactly how he wanted and expected him to be
my bf mentioned that That pose chuuya does where he raises one elbow over his head is something you do to make yourself look taller and now i cant stop seeing that he does it All The Fucking Time its so funny
its so funny bc bsd has conditioned me to havd so much unwavering faith in dazai that i didnt dven consider that sigma would fuck it up bc something in my head was like ‘well dazai always has a plan he probably knows what hes doing somewhat’ and then she fumbled the bag SO FAST
ill forever be mad at the fifteen anime adaptation for removing the moment in the LN where dazai’s first instinct against the GSS soldier was to pretend to be lost kids, like theres SO MUCH of dazais character that gets massacred in the light novel adaptation but that bit i-
i will forever mourn the loss of having dazais entrance exam adapted properly into the anime bc we miss out on how sheerly Fucking Weird he is when hes still trying to figure out how to act like a normal person, like hes SO bad at it
u dont understand i NEED fukuzawa to live bc we Cannot be left with magic sword mcgee and MORI as the only over 30s character left
please let us keep the only bareable dilf
the ssk is queerbait argument is so fucking funny bc like Yeah for bones it arguably is, but also dead apple was like 2 hours of dazai kissing men in his mind while his mentee heaves and cries on the ground somewhere 300 metres below him and ill take that over BBC Sherlock
do you understand how frustrating it is that soukoku are the most fully explored characters in all of bsd, we have access to almost a decade of their history, and the era of them im most fascinated by of them is the dragon head conflict, THE ONE ERA WE KNOW BARELY ANYTHING ABOUT
realising that this could be the first time chuuya has seen dazai in action put another human beings life and happiness seemingly above his own interests makes me want to think of all the little moments where chuuya could look at dazai in the ADA and realises he is actually happy
i have a vague memory of someone saying that in gaiden theres a mention that abilities arent a thing your born with + are like a latent gene that ‘activates’ when a child is in a high stress situation and i need to know so badly if its true bc the implications of that are insane
do you think any of dazai’s string of abandoned dates/ex girlfriends are from his pm : teen years or do you just think he was on his own for the first time in his life at 18 and proceeded to spend the next four years dissapointing every woman in yokohama
absolutely floored by the possible idea that the only fundamental difference between the Beast universe and the original was that their mori was genuinely kind, that EVERYTHING else was the affect of dazai being self aware
its so much funnier to watch/read bsd if u just delude yourself into believing every other man on screen is dazais ex bc he makes it damn well hard to believe their not tbh
one of the things that we dont see in bsd that haunt me is dazai having to go to ango after oda died to get his record cleared, idk how ango saw this little fucker in his office weeks after hed been complacent in the plot that got their best friend killed and DIDNT shit himself
my favourite bsd fandom experience is seeing whenever a new person finds out for the first time that chuuya’s hair isn’t in a ponytail its just genuinely cut Like That
fyodor as a villain overall is like not thaf interesting to me but the fact that all it took was him getting dunked in water to breakdown his quiet calculating demeanour into the egotistical shivering sopping wet little dog he is is absolutely fucking hilarious i love him
theres nothing funnier then imagining oda meeting chuuya for the first time, cause you just Know he spent months listening to dazai complain/gush about chuuya and got the image of them having this silly teen romance and then he sees them absolutely tearing eachothers hair out
im a big believer of being obsessed w the depth and complexity of skks relationship and how much they mean to eachother thematically BUT theyre also the kinda people who will lick all the pizza slices just so the other cant have any
dazai comes to the ada halloween party without a costume so he runs with the joke to turn him into a mummy cause kunikida says hes ‘already halfway there anyway’, but when atsushi wraps the bandages over his left eye he becomes overwhelmed with a sickened feeling at the sensation
i love dazai who doesnt know how to pinpoint and understand his own emotions and is constantly searching for something to keep his entertainment but alsoloves so deeply that he attaches himself to people who interest him with such intensity that he practically worships them
i love chuuya bc hes like the protagonist character that does fucking everything and has to save the world 384&4 but hes not the main character and hez SO pissed off that he still has to save the world
bsd is such an insane fnadom space to be in because its the only media ive ever liked where 70% of the story and depth of the characters is told in side novels so everyone has VASTLY different perceptions of even the most well trodden characters based on which ones they’ve read
also the image of mori gluing chuuya’s fake fangs in is so fucking funny, like why did your boss have to do it, and what fucking glue did he use theres no way denture glue holds THAT hard
thinking about harukawa’s ‘light in eyes=hope/will to live’ thing and how at 14 even when becoming mori’s confidant dazai still has that light, but after that year is when its just completely Gone
theres no way living in that shipping container in a literal toxic waste dumping ground for assumably a solid chunk of his teen years didnt do something irreversible to dazais insides like wtf is that man made of titanium
its so funny when fics have the mafia members in apartments as if we didnt see rimbauds entire mansion back when he was moris sub executive like these guys make BANK
the hirotsu and dazai scene of them in the art gallery lives deep in my hesrt but also dazai going ‘i could totally be s painter’ and hirostu being like ‘oh yeah for sure, you used to draw on the walls’ is so funny and sweet
hot bitches understand the inherent tragedy of soukoku and their connection built on being two people who were seen as monsters before they were people, who were never able to have real childhoods, kids sharpened into weapons and used for power they didnt ask to have
tbh the start of the decay of angels arc is a Little Funny bc the ada get framed for being terrorists BUT like half the other crimes they get listed for are still things they did actually do LMAOO
the funniest part of the guild arc is the guild making their base of operations a massive cruise liner slapped in the middle of the yokohma port and then being offended and surprised when their enemies the PORT MAFIA’ went ‘hey get off our fucking port’
theres a grey line between ‘the sheep cared for eachother, they were kids in a rough place but they were chuuyas first family ‘ and ‘the sheep mistreated and used chuuya for his ability, and pushed him to be responsible for leading and protecting them because of his power’
its so funny to me that higuchi still lives with her sister and assumably parentcs bc like its not SURPRISING she does considering shes like in her late teens- very early twenties, thats entirely normal, but its just Funny bc like wtf do her parents think her job is
remembering that time someone tried to argue w me that fifteen/stormbringer arent abt soukoku and are actually not abt dazai at all is SO funny like??? my brother in christ its called Dazai, Chuuya, Fifteen, his name is in the title
