[sylviealexandria]

imagine dead authors reincarnated as hot, traumatized twenty-somethings throwing each other off buildings and getting killed (and surviving) while quoting shit outta poetry. like imagine being named after a famous literary figure and your superpower is based on their most depressing book. and instead of going to therapy, you join a morally grey mafia or a detective agency where half the squad is legally unhinged.

WELCOME TO BSD!!!

Dazai: good morning, chibi! You look beautiful today

Chuuya, blushing: wha—

Dazai: April fools!

Chuuya:...oh...

Dazai, panicking: you look beautiful everyday

Chuuya: ...OH—

Suffering clung to Atsushi like clothing, shaping him. Pain made Atsushi feel like himself.

- 55 Minutes, Kafka Asagiri

[symphonyofsilence]

We don't know much about Dazai's life before Mori found him (just that the sheep had offered Dazai to join them and he declined)

But in "Dazai, Chuuya, age fifteen" there might be some clues:

He talks as if he previously hasn't been a part of the underground society. Like he's lived in the surface world.

His mannerism in general, even as a 15 years old is so refined. And the manner of his speech is different from the 15 y/o kids who are from the underground society like Chuuya and Shirase.

And the characters are heavily inspired by the real life authors that they're named after. Dazai already has so many things in common with the real Dazai Osamu. And the real Dazai Osamu was from a noble family.

So I think it's likely that Dazai was from an upper class family and ran away.

And... I think it's not completely unlikely that he might have changed his name.

in BSD, when a character is inspired by and named after an author who has a pen name, their real names are addressed. Like Mori Ougai being called Rintarou by Elise, or Fukuchi Ouchi being called Gen'ichiro by Fukuzawa or Dazai calling Oda Sasunosuke Odasaku, or 'Nakahara' being revealed to be the last name of the doctor who worked on the Arahabaki project and thus being Chuuya's "father" and so his last name being Chuuya's last name, while it's revealed that Chuuya might have an actual family out there, we don't know much about them but his father has the same occupation as the real Nakahara Chuuya's father; he's a retired army doctor who has established his own clinic. And the real Nakahara Chuuya was at first 'Kashimura Chuuya' before his father was adopted by his mother's family shortly after Chuuya's birth and his name was changed to Nakahara. Now maybe BSD's Nakahara Chuuya's real father's last name is Kashimura and thus before the age of 7 and merging with Arahabaki, Nakahara Chuuya might have been Kashimura Chuuya.

What I was getting at was that... maybe BSD's Dazai Osamu's real name is Tsushima Shūji (like his namesake, the real author) but he changed it after he ran away from his rich family and joined the underground. (But this theory might not work because Ranpo's namesake, the real author used a pen name too but Ranpo Edogawa seems to be the real name of BSD's Ranpo.)

CHAT ARE YOU THINKING WHAT IM THINKING!?!?!?!

CHUUYA FTM HEADCANON

[opulent-valkyrie]

Imagine, a reader who despite preferring cats, gets Chuuya a puppy for his birthday

I just want to see Chuuya happy, he's been through too much

Guess who left it in the drafts and completely forgot about it...

Also the reader reminds me of dazai bc dosen't he prefer cats too??

Chuuya stared at the small, squirming bundle of fur in his arms, mouth slightly agape. The puppy—no larger than a loaf of bread—tilted its head, its floppy ears twitching as if equally perplexed by the turn of events.

"You got me a dog?" Chuuya finally asked, his voice unreadable.

You lounged lazily on the couch, arms draped over the backrest, watching his reaction with amusement. "What, were you expecting a cat?" you mused, voice laced with the familiar tease that always got under his skin.

Chuuya scoffed. "No, but you prefer cats."

"Exactly," you replied, as if that explained everything. And to you, maybe it did.

The little dog—tan with white markings—squirmed in Chuuya’s hold before clambering clumsily onto his chest, its tail wagging excitedly. Chuuya, caught between surprise and something suspiciously close to giddiness, instinctively steadied it with gloved hands. The tiny creature looked up at him with wide, trusting eyes, then let out an eager yap.

Tch. Annoying. But cute.

Chuuya clicked his tongue but didn’t push it away. "You got this for me?"

"Well, obviously," you sighed, stretching your legs out. "You’re a dog person. It was either this or a hat, and let’s be real—you probably have a secret stash of those somewhere."

Chuuya flushed, opening his mouth to retort before shutting it with a scowl. Damn you. You were insufferable. And yet, as the puppy eagerly licked at his gloved fingers, Chuuya felt his lips twitch upward despite himself.

"...Thanks," he muttered, barely above a whisper.

You grinned, pleased with yourself. "Oh, don’t mention it. Consider it my act of charity for the year."

Chuuya threw a pillow at your face.

The puppy barked happily.

Also take a look at this silly (my dog)

[kellelkallel]

BSD 123 is some fucking crazy work. A new character this far into the story? Essential SSKK confirmation? 'I'm minutes away from death, but Dazai-san's face isn't coming to my mind. Instead... "Akutagawa. Don't kill anyone for six months." Return the weretiger to me!'

Akutagawa babe you're not fooling anyone...

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS ANYONE ELSE DOING? The rest of the Agency and Port Mafia? FUCKING DAZAI AND CHUUYA? They should be ON. THEIR. WAY. TO JAPAN. RN. We are absolutely cooked (I miss skk).

[ramunnae]
