“Chuuya wasn’t in Dark Era, why is he in this art??”

it's always how very normal Dazai is about Chuuya, but let's remember Chuuya is also very normal about Dazai:

Nakahara "I've got a hundred and ninety ways of exacting my revenge on Dazai and this is the second mildest of them all" Chuuya

Chuuya keeping track of how many women's hearts Dazai's broken

Chuuya still keeping his phone number the four years he was gone and drunkenly calling him

Chuuya coming up with equally insane insults

Beast Chuuya's wish to kill Dazai someday, and refusing to let anyone else do it

Dazai might be a little a lot more obvious about his behavior toward Chuuya, but Chuuya isn't so sly either

[nugget-child]

when you “hate him” but there’s official art posted on Valentine’s Day of you reluctantly giving him a gift at a popular date spot in Japan

kinda gay if u ask me

[anticidic]

obsessed with the idea that Dazai began rolling around on the floor or spinning his chair to help him process his thoughts and come up with plans after Chuuya had tied him up and spun him in Stormbringer

They should kill each other for the sake of romance

Don't forget to eat to keep the demons at bay

something about Dazai being comfortable enough around Chuuya to be vulnerable and let him see his genuine reactions (especially his genuine shock) as he processes out loud is SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME

plus Chuuya not being shocked to see the genius at work tells us this isn’t the first time he’s seen Dazai actively figuring things out in real time…

the way Chuuya knows Dazai's nervous habits— noticing that Dazai is worried, and subtly checking on him. the way Dazai drops his facade in favor of putting all of his focus into the mental game at hand is such an obvious sign of trust & closeness for someone like Dazai, whose facade is his main form of defense

how they interact with each other in the downtimes when there’s nobody watching…

all i can think is, look how far they’ve come since they were 16 when Dazai couldn’t trust anyone with his plans. how even now, Dazai is always putting up his “all according to plan” front, even with the agency. how Chuuya is the one person we’ve seen him truly drop the mask around, and Chuuya doesn’t bat an eye. even their banter is ongoing, but subdued.

soukoku and their subtle displays of intimacy will be the death of me 💔
