#Tbh for most of the time in the bsd fandom I thought fyo/dazai was my favorite Dazai ship but tbh...

[kyouka-supremacy]

Thoughts on odazai? I wondered if your reasons for disliking dazai apply to this ship since it doesn't seem to function the same way other popular dazai ships do

Mmmmhh okay first off, I'm afraid my dislike for Dazai transcends all ships (╥﹏╥)

But I do think odazai is very enjoyable for its own uniqueness!! Oda is the only person Dazai respects, literally, and that's bound to make their relationship distinctive and unique. I feel like respect should come with every healthy relationship, so you see the appeal here? Odazai is the only ship that shows a side of Dazai that finally feels authentic– it shows a side of Dazai that is willing to care. For the rest of the franchise Dazai's character is pretty much up to interpretation, there's the mystery element of never being able to tell what's going through his mind, but Oda's existence alone is enough to show us a true face of Dazai for once– which is nice, because Oda showed us a side of Dazai that is capable of love. Which wasn't exactly predictable given Dazai's nihilism, cruelty and apparent disregard of human life; and yet even him is capable of love. And he truly is! Even if you don't like them romantically, Dazai's love (platonic, if you prefer) for Oda is undeniably there, and it's nice, it's miraculous to get to witness it. In a way, Anon, maybe you're right! I don't like Dazai, and still odazai has the power of making Dazai feel sympathetic: because it shows you a man who cares about another person, and who would do anything for them; and then that person is taken away from him. You just can't not feel sympathy for that, it's inherently human to relate to and be touched by another man's suffering, and a thousand times more so when such suffering is moved by love. Odazai is the only ship that makes me want to ship it because I think it would make Dazai happy, and makes me feel happy for him.

Odazai is a sweet, tragic, comforting ship. People have definitely put it more eloquently and in detail than me, but it's just the completely lack of judgement on both sides which is SUCH an appealing aspect. They can be their true authentic selves with each other, and it must have been so staggering and exhilarating and overwhelming for Dazai specifically who probably didn't even know who he himself was– how much human he could be. There's the mutual respect, the genuine admiration. There's the feeling of being accepted and understood like they aren't by anyone else– they both share this morally grey view of the world, and they are the only ones who aren't judgemental of the other's lack of morals; they get each other. In a world that results meaningless to them, they can be each other's reason to live. Then there's the making each other better?? Seriously, what other ship makes Dazai even slightly better. Oda canonically changed Dazai's whole existence prompting him to do good for the rest of his life with six words. And again, the fact alone that Oda is the only person to ever make Dazai capable of love– that's as good as it can get! Dazai is the best he can be as soon as he allows himself to be vulnerable and emotional and soft and honest, and Oda prompted him to do exactly that. And I know that's very arguable, but we literally do not know if Dazai ever truly loved anyone after joining the good guys, or if he's just doing good things because Oda asked him to instead of having an innate will to do good for a genuine love of human beings– maybe he's really doing all of that solely because he loved a man and he will never love anyone else; we really have no way to know, and it's up to interpretation. My take, while we're at it (because I'm drunk on tiredness and I can't stop talking), is that Dazai, even if coming from a place of having no fondness for humans and exclusively doing good because he was asked to rather than for a true conviction, got so accustomed to doing good, he actually... Became good (Aristotle and moral virtue being something you can get better at by practicing it). In that case, Oda would be someone who literally taught Dazai to love, and that's beautiful in its own way.

I didn't get much into Oda's side of the relationship; I feel like I don't know Oda a lot, I only watched the Dark Era episodes of the anime once ten months ago and even Beast doesn't feel like giving away much of his personality. But I do like to think he would love Dazai; if else, I feel like Dazai too is a special person to Oda like no one else is.

Also like, there's the fact that they're quite literally canon. Like I don't know what to tell you it's literally there. Not that many men out there Osamu Dazai would literally abandon everything he's ever known, completely turn his life upside down, start doing good without even believing in good, for. Characters who aren't canonically gay but who's actions don't make any sense until you interpret them as gay and stuff. It barely even count as queerbating tbh like it's just right there.

Anon asked: Let’s spread positivity! Who are your favourite people in the bsd fandom? 

 AAAAH first off: thanks for the anon <3 I don’t know who you are - but my very first positivity shall go out to you! I'm always happy whenever I see one in my inbox tbh, WWWHHHH. My favorites in the BSD fandom, huh? I must admit, I don’t know a lot, because I’m just so super shy to write with people most of the time :’’’)

Note: I’m very sorry in advance, in case I mispronounced someone! It don’t mean to make anyone uncomfortable. I just suck at remembering… > < 

Also, my English gave up on me there at one point. I’m sorry, I started writing on this at 8 a.m ( currently it’s 11 a.m and I’m still not really awake ).

There may be people who I forgot to mention and I’m truly sorry for this, wwwhhhh. BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE EVERYONE! And I hope I didn’t annoy anyone by mentioning them there.

First those who have a special place in my heart from talking with them currently still or because I have talked with them in the past. I know most of them from other fandoms, but all of them have or had muses or a verse in the BSD fandom.

@diverse-hearts / @diverse-hearts-ocs - Who was one of the reasons why I finally continued watching BSD and who got me into the verse. I remember it was when she suddenly threw Chuuya into my inbox at Miran and I was just like - oh, that's the chara you talk about so often, right? - and panicked a bit because I didn't know how to reply at first because I had no clue how to reply. So I watched the Anime and got invested into it XDDD

That was also the beginning of our Chu x Miran ship, I'm still super invested in and even after two years I still super enjoy to RP and come up with plots with brobro or to work with her on the Lee family u v u

@shinycku -  WHO KEEP GETS ME INTO NEW FANDOMS SOMEHOW. She brought me into MLQC, she brought me into Obey Me and she also was the first one to tell me to watch BSD a year ago or so. Sadly I was a bit busier back then and idk. I didn’t watch it for long back then. She may doesn’t roleplay her Kyoka anymore, but I still think she deserved a special mention there.

Pareo is really fun to talk to and I enjoyed our small threads with Miran and Kyoka ( she would have adopted that assassin girl and nobody could have stopped Miran! LOLOL ) and also super enjoyed RPing with Mei, that Yandere Waifu, back then and I really hope we can still RP at one point!

@kxramczov / @alternxs – Riyah is a super sweet person and I enjoy talking and RPing with her and the things plotted > u < Honestly, I’m still excited for the friendship between Gin and my girl ( and I also still didn’t forget the plot for Ryu! XD ) or those… abandoned house… adventures ( ? ) between Fyo and Miran, wwwhhhh. I’m so sorry he has to put up with my girl. But I also really look forward to interact with her other muses and to one day make my girl slap Gogol c:<

@nightwardens – HEH! I never truly RPed with Psy in the BSD verse tbh, but I know her from the BNHA verse still and PSY, IF YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN’T MENTION YOU, YOU’RE FREAKING WRONG! O:< She too is one of those people I really enjoyed talking with in the past and I hope she’s doing well! U v U

@breathless-darkness – Cassi! One of the people I still owe lots of replies, but rarely gets one because of my lazy and unmotivated butt :’’) I’M SORRY FOR THAT WWWHHHHH. I really enjoy our backstory with Shuji / Dazai and Miran and I’m still super sorry I didn’t interact with your other muses so far, wwwhhh. But I really love the threads we got so far and I really love talking to you a lot <3

@abilitypossessed​ | @museportal​ - I know Kiwi since super long as well now from the MM verse. She just followed the BSD verse recently, but I hope we get to RP more again, now that she came into this verse <3

Others who deserve love and positivity, I enjoy seeing on my dashboard and hope to interact one day ( or to interact more ):

@oflegends​ ( honestly, I enjoy how much she loves and enjoys RPing Shibu ) || @canirandagi / @mckiingbiird || @horclogium ( she has a bsd verse so I guess her accounts counts, wwhhh, I also love about her how much she loves her muse ; u ; ) || @protectheweak || @shrimps-variety-garden || @somegremlin ||
