bones took away nikolaiโs thicc thighs this, bones took away kunikidaโs thicc shoulders that, but the REAL tragedy is that bones took away natsumeโs CHONK
Author Ayatsuji Yukito talks about chapter 114.5๐ค
โIโve received the latest issue of โYoung Aceโ and read the newest chapter of BSD butโฆ geez. How could you come up with such a crazy plot twist, Kafka-san?โ
i need ppl to understand that kunikida doesn't care about the law, he cares about his ideals. he broke into a meteorological tower bc they got the weather wrong, the only rules that matter to him are his rules!!!
the fact that the two people dazai spent most of his free time outside of work with were a guy who can see into future and a guy who can see into the past really does live in my head rent free
asgr literally told us the world was in ayaโs hands back in chapter 94 (released aug 2021) so idk why people keep acting surprised when she shows up in another chapter vvjhfdg
my favorite running joke in bsd is atsushi watching his coworkers be insane and them turning to kunikida for solidarity only to realize kunikida is just as insane as the rest of the ada heโs just better at hiding it
iโm sorry people are gonna be so mad at me for this but fyodor making up a dramatic magic fairy tale knife to trick sigma into lowering his guard is so fucking funny to me JSDHHDSH
This was not my intention so I need to correct the record: I am not bisexual. I happen to be straight, but I am also a fierce ally and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community. 3/5
idk man, parent headcanons are not really my thing anyways, but i think this idea that dazai canโt ever be a good parent or person in general bc of things he did at ages 16-18 isโฆ massively missing the point of bungou stray dogs as a series
โodaโs last words to dazai were too mean :(โ ok susan you try being thoughtful and nuanced when youโre seconds away from bleeding out due to multiple very fatal gunshot wounds
kunikida being present when fukuzawa figured out he had an ability is so so validating for my deranged "kunikida couldn't control his ability until he joined the ada" agenda ๐๐๐๐
tbh i disagree with the idea that dazai has ever felt threatened by ranpoโs intelligence. imo dazai views his own intelligence as a curse (which we see most clearly in his interactions w/fyodor) so i feel like for dazai, meeting ranpo must have actually been a great relief to him
i love the dead character media. where their absence shapes the narrative more than their presence. where the vacuum left by the character acts as a catalyst. where their voice echoes in the decisions of the protagonist. i need to read a book like this immediately!!!
a genuinely gentle reminder that just bc the manga took a month off as a break does not mean asgr and hrkw owe us a full 40-page chapter as some sort of compensation
imo odaโs last words to dazai really make a lot more sense when you stop thinking about them in terms of father/mentor/etc and start thinking of them as friends who viewed each other as equals
i truly do not understand where this idea of oda โraisingโ dazai came from bc there is literally nothing in the text of bsd that supports this. like he raised him how, by getting drunk with him several nights a week hgdgjk
i thinkโฆ it bears repeating that bsd is a seinen series that is actively not intended for an audience under 17, and the majority of its fandom does in fact reflect this demographic
anyways canโt wait for someone to try and snipe clout by putting the new dazai novel through google translate and telling everyone that oda is a werewolf
thinking about how dazai's drinking buddies in the mafia were a guy who's ability shows him the future and a guy who's ability shows him the past. and then there is dazai, who's nullification allows them to just. live in the present ๐ญ
the โasgr & hrkw should take a hiatusโ crowd is unreal bc remember how the last time they took a month break and came back with a short chapter and then yโall got mad bc they didnโt spend their entire break working lol
ok but actually it is insane to me that by opโs own admission, they didnโt even SEE anyone do this. they looked at the art and immediately projected something sexual onto it entirely on their own nnhfdjh
greatest gift asgr ever gave us was revealing that kunikida & odaโs dynamic is exactly the same as kunikida & dazaiโs but for completely opposite reasons chdhdh
i wish i could explain how validating โdazai hangs out late at the office with kunikida and atsushi even tho heโs not doing anythingโ is to me as a dazai extrovert truther
i think a lot about how losing all his comrades is probably THE thing that would push kunikida into becoming the azure king-type terror vigilante that dazai warned him about
thinking about how kunikida went from being frozen by indecision in cannibalism to making snap decision after snap decision on the fly at the start of the doa arc
i feel like bsdtwt would be a much better place if people understood that โchuuya is a well-rounded and interesting character with backstory and purposeโ and โchuuyaโs impact on the *main* manga plotline is overall fairly minimalโ are statements that can and should co-exist
it is so baffling to me tho that people out there really think that dazai doesnโt like kunikida as a person. like i know iโm biased to hell and back but i also feel like there is nothing in the actual text of bsd that suggests anything other than real, genuine fondness from dazai
bsd anime account saying โplease be healed by the peaceful daily lifeโ of wan as if the fireworks episode did not do irrevocable damage to my psyche
if u think shipping two characters who are friends in canon somehow cheapens their friendship iโm going to just assume u have never been in a relationship before
@BellSnaaps
yeah i saw a lot of this after the finale too ๐ญ like i am a vashwood enjoyer but i think this can be done without downplaying merylโs significance to vash and to the story as a whole!! her growth in tristamp was honestly so satisfying to me, it sucks to watcg people ignore it
listen i know asgr said he likes to leave important things open to interpretation like a lil donut hole and i love this for us but sometimes i feel like ppl in this fandom are missing the whole entire donut
we been knew that the worst takes in this fandom come from people who have never actually read/watched bsd but it IS pretty wild that theyโre actually admitting it now
โgo to hellโ is basic. โi hope your favorite rarepair is suddenly declared problematic by a legion of chronically-online mainshippers that canโt handle people shipping anything other than their otpโ is smart. itโs possible. itโs real
i think... ppl in fandom need to understand that there is a difference between respecting others' triggers and demanding that other people not explore a triggering topic altogether just because someone else might find the topic triggering. like this is why tags exist.
i think that if oda had sugar-coated his last words to dazai even a little bit, dazai would have found them to be disingenuous and would not have listened to them. like isn't that why he liked oda so much? oda's unwavering honesty? oda's ability to see right into your very soul?
i know i complain a lot about bonesโ ln1 adaptation (and i am correct to complain โ๏ธ) but the artistic decision to make the azure king resemble kunikida was so inspired and sexy of them and i think about it a lot
sk8 is wild man these guys will stand there like "oh no... is ADAM gonna use That strategy" and the strategy is he gets off his skateboard and hits u in the face
i think. that. expecting oda to put dazaiโs depression first when heโd just watched the 5 children heโd been caring for die violently right in front of him is insane, actually
itโs so funny that the anime is trying to spin fukuzawa lying to ranpo about having an ability as something almost. premeditated?? when in the light novel it was literally just this fhdjdhhd
