Not to be dramatic but what I love about Odazai is that, unlike any other ship I've sailed on before, love is almost irrevocable when it concerns these two.

When you really boil it down, their relationship is built on almost nothing but love. It's almost like a cruel joke.

Love is what changed Oda, and what made Oda find one of the few intimate companionship in his adult life to a man who's made enemies with half the world. Almost nothing can really emulate the weight of the unspoken between these two characters who've only learnt to lose. They're smart enough to know how their bond will end but not strong enough to actually pull away. And if that isn't love, I don't really fucking know what is.

Somebody sedate me 😭

Random shower thought: but odazai is one of the few ships that don't have to stick to being just romantic, or platonic, it's just that their love is so fleshed-out and haunts almost every panel in Bungou stray dogs.

Oda loved dazai so much that it changed the whole narrative of the show.

I've always taken his entire rendezvous with Alana as an act of jealousy. I mean, he was jealous of Alana, to say the least. So his initial motive was to spite Will. You know, he got his job, his freedom, and his crush. But I think, he realises that he gets to be in Will's shoes now, he gets to be the man he's fascinated with. So he wants to court Alana, to kiss her in the same way Will would've. That was one of his only primary interests for being with Alana, so he gets to play Will. The same way you would imagine yourself in your crush's shoes. But mostly, it was a crutch for balance for both of them.

anyone else think it's kinda crazy that when hannibal's courting alana he dresses like will
