theory: fyodor’s ability is harming him

first off, i’d like to say this will probably be a very long post of my ramblings which may or may not make sense lol. if you spot any grammatical errors it’s because english isn’t my native language so i apologize. i took some inspiration from https://ratstoyevsky.tumblr.com/post/657013568752992256/fyodor-dostoyevsky-bungou-stray-dogs-ability , so please go check that post out :)

ever since fyodor first appeared, he’s been one of my favourite characters to analyze. we know virtually nothing about him - not even how old he is and most importantly, how his ability works. he’s been shown to only divulge the information he wants his enemies to know so he can always have the upper hand.

in the manga, he’s shown to be frail and weak looking with bags underneath his eyes — he’s also shown to be using his non threatening appearance to his advantage. honestly, i find the emphasis on fyodor’s appearance interesting and i think it’s intentional on asagiri’s part.

in chapter 42, fyodor says that he has anemia. in the same chapter, ace refers to fyodor as a “soulless, vampire like man”.

according to the dead apple official guidebook:

he has a pattern of surrounding himself with light colored, white haired men (ivan, nikolai, hawthorne, sigma, fukuchi, bram, shibusawa) which is in stark contrast to his black hair. white, in the bible and today, is associated with purity, innocence, cleanliness — all the things fyodor isn’t and all he wants to be.

so this begs the question - why is fyodor so unhealthy? personally, i think it has to do with his ability. we don’t know how his ability works exactly, but i think the mechanics of it have something to do with blood. both times we’ve seen him use it on someone, blood starts bursting from their body. i don’t think it’s a coincidence fyodor just so happens to be anemic.

i think fyodor’s ability is taking a toll on him or harming him somehow everytime he uses it, which is why he has anemia. i’m also saying everytime he uses it, because from the looks of it it’s not always active like no longer human is. but then again it could be, he hasn’t used it enough times for us to know. it could also tie into why he hates ability users so much: he’s the only one that has to suffer for using his ability. my 2 reasons for thinking this are: 1. when talking to karma in chapter 42, he says:

2. what he says in dead apple:

notice how fyodor is the one saying “i am crime” and his ability is the one saying “i am punishment”. just like ace, fyodor’s crime is merely existing; his crime is being an ability user and that’s why he’s being punished by his own ability. not only does he punish others for being sinners, he himself gets punished for being one. just like he said: “crime and punishment are close friends” fyodor’s ability is the punishment to his crime.

it also makes sense when you take crime and punishment, the book itself, into consideration. raskolnikov comitted a crime he wasn’t caught for, but his conscience tormented him to the point of confessing.

anyway i’m not sure if any of this makes sense, i hope you had fun reading at least 😭 all of the manga scenes are taken from dazaiscans !!

even kevin was going to come out of this on top. he wasn’t going to fade into obscurity like tetsuji and riko thought he would; he would ride the foxes’ resurgence to the top and reclaim his place in the spotlight.

happy birthday, faatimah! ♡ [@queenkevindays]

We were always surrounded by books and words and poetry, all the fierce passions of the world bound in leather and vellum.

like king of his castle, jesper was standing on top of a table, holding his drink in the air and smiling broadly. he didn’t look like a prince — instead he looked like every other young adult in there. he wore fitted green and yellow ankara-pattern pants with a plain cowl-neck tank top. the only signed of his status was the gold armlets that adorned his biceps, and gold clips on his ears. he danced with anyone who crossed his path, his cheeks flushed.
