#Aya Yukichi

[twinksintrees]

this is such a fucked panel to end on. the raw shock, mourning, loss on his face. aya’s triumphant words having no idea what just took place. he’s going to have to go on pushing all of this down. his best friend is dead, and he has to say he’s the one who killed him.

the utter emptiness in the first page is so poignant, theres no more flashbacks, theres nothing else but these two and the weight of their burden.

fukuchi just knowing he could've never done it

oh teruko...i feel so terribly for her. her emotions are so palpable here. and oh my GOD fukuzawas face when he sees him get stabbed im gutted

fukuzawas expressions here i cannot do this he's so distraught and it hasn't even fully settled in yet

Btw- spoilers for bungou stray dogs chapter 109

This is what I've been working on for the past week, since I wanted to post it all at once,

It took longer than I planned, but it was worth it.

After seeing tumblr panic after chapter 109 dropped I couldn't get that one scene from zootopia out of my head, and then it just spiraled from there.

:D

BSD Chater 110.5

In the Narrow Room - Part 6.2

First chapter after the end of the anime and it is following the anime so far, with a few interesting extra details. 

Neither English nor Japanese is my native language so I might make some mistakes here and there. Please let me know if you find any mistake.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Aya jumps off the tower and lands on the hanging table, pulling the sword off Bram’s upper body. She then falls towards the ground. While falling, she recalls her father questioning why she wanted to become an ally of justice. She thinks to herself that it is because the one is admires is not her mother, but actually her father, who to her is the “coolest ally of justice.” We are then shown a flashback of Aya’s father standing with other policemen.

Back to Fukuchi and Fukuzawa, when Fukuchi is busy giving commands to the vampires, Fukuzawa gets up and tries to attack Fukuchi in his blind spot that only Fukuzawa knows about. However knowing that is not enough. Fukuzawa is aware that he also needs the determination to finish off his friend. Fukuchi however manages to dodge the attack because he can see it coming. He pierces Amenogozen through Fukuzawa’s body. To his surprise, Fukuzawa takes the chance to steal the sword from Fukuchi and slash his neck with his own sword.

The chapter ends here. Next chapter will be released on November 4.

Random features of my BSD age swap au

Kyouka and Q (Yumeno Kyuusaku) were the equivalent of Double Black, but I haven't figured out what to call them instead. Either way, they were a terrifying duo where between Q's raw destructiveness and Kyouka's stealth, as well as Q's psychological manipulation and Kyouka's resourcefulness and logic, basically no one could beat them. Until Kyouka left anyway

PS Q did not take Kyouka leaving as well as Chuuya took Dazai leaving. There is So Much Bullshit going on there

Atsushi is Oda, RIP. Akutagawa is Ango if he'd been a PM spy in both the government and Mimic

Gin is an Executive

Aya is Ranpo. Fukuzawa is a girldad. She actually has an Ability but has trouble accepting it due to her (now dead) birth father's abuse.

Ranpo and Yosano are the Agency's resident teenagers (14 and 15 respectively). Ranpo is still in his 'everyone is a monster and I'm scared' phase because Fukuzawa hasn't quite managed to get the lie to click; him and 18 year old Dazai bond oddly well over this.

Tachihara was Rimbaud, technically. There's some logic in my head that makes this make sense. Yes, this means Tachigin is Rimlaine in this AU, and Gin is every bit as pathetic as Verlaine is.

Where are actual Rimlaine? ...Good question.

Kenji is Kunikida, technically. Q is not jealous at all (lie)

Higuchi is a Black Lizard commander. Don't ask me how this works.

Kouyou is unfortunately locked in the Port Mafia's basement because Golden Demon is a lot more destructive than Demon Snow was. (She's Q).

Chuuya attacks Dazai on the train (how Kyouka attacks Atsushi) though he's significantly less inclined to blow himself up. Unfortunately for him he winds up blown up anyway.

Mori gets to traumatized even more children - he gets to directly mentor Kyouka and Q, then Dazai, and Yosano.

Does Yosano join the Agency before or after Dazai? Yes.

BSD: An Absurdist Analysis - Chapter 111.5

"In the budding darkness, a blossom of hope"

[BSD Absurdism Masterpost]

This is the chapter where the tides start to change for our protagonists, which is exemplified by this lovely chapter art of Dazai along with the quote: "In the budding darkness, a blossom of hope."

And really, having hope is what absurdism is often about. In order to not give up/give in to an absurd reality, one must have some sort of motivation to keep going, that motivation often being hope.

We open the chapter with finding out Aya did not, in fact, die! She had previously jumped off the building in a last-ditch attempt to remove the sword from Bram's body, and her final act of rebellion against a seemingly hopeless situation paid off.

Meanwhile, the missiles have been stopped and Ranpo and Atsushi are seemingly safe!

And then there's Dazai and Fyodor.

The fundamental difference between the two is that while they're both excellent strategists that treat life like a game of chess, Fyodor needs to have ultimate control over every situation, whereas Dazai is able to maintain his control through the power of his relationships with others. Dazai took advantage of Fyodor's weakness of needing control by allowing him to think that he had control over Chuuya as a vampire, when in reality his trust of Chuuya and their partnership succeeded.

Fyodor's need for control in an absurd reality is paradoxical, because if a reality is inherently meaningless and absurd, then one attempting to control that is a fruitless effort. Dazai's relinquishment of control and relying on basically "the power of friendship" seems like a ridiculous tactic, but... it worked because he put his faith in the people around him and left it up to chance.

(You can read more of my thoughts on Fyodor and Dazai in my initial 111.5 post from back when the chapter first got released)

As for Fukuzawa and Fukuchi, I don't have an absurdist analysis on their situation in this chapter, at least. Fukuzawa strikes Fukuchi with the sword, and realizing too late that this is exactly what he wanted him to do and sending them into Poe's novel. The conversation they'll have after this probably leans a bit more into the absurdist storytelling, but if I'm being honest, this part of the current plot is what I understand least and I'll need to actually read their conversation to make sense of it.

Please ignore that this analysis is literal months late, I'm a student with many obligations and this unfortunately fell onto the back-burner <3

[silentborage]

I'm going to throw up /pos

[leaharleyg]

So in conclusion Dazai dead? Aya yeeted. Fukuzawa dead. Atsushi vampire food. Everyone is a cast member in twilight. Ranpo MIA. The world done for. Poe has been missing for 84 years now... My sanity gone. I am. Confusion. I'm out.
