[existential-spite]

Dazai is like the forgotten middle child

[rivalmelty]

listen if the existence of the book means there are an infinite number of realities then there’s at least one where fukuzawa took in the both of them and the ada was born on two pillars instead of just one

(pls do not tag as beast)

[flumpermergen]

Haha yeah guys we’re so bungou-back haha….

[whathorselegs]

The idea that Fukuzawa doesn't consider Dazai part of the Agency just doesn't sit right with me.

Yeah, in Dazai's Entrance Exam, he certainly had his doubts, but he trusted Kunikida to decide whether or not Dazai's worthy. And Kunikida decided he was. Kunikida is Fukuzawa's chosen successor, if he was going to respect anyone's opinion then it should be his.

So my thoughts on why Dazai wasn't in the panel with the rest of the Agency members is that Fukuzawa just thinks Dazai is already safe. Fukuchi just said he put Fyodor in prison, on purpose, to keep him out of the way. Nikolai's death match was him going rogue, there's no reason to suspect Fukuzawa knows anything about what's going on in Meursault.

However, every other member of the Agency is in immediate danger at the airport should Fukuzawa fail. That's what he was picturing, the people who could be immediately hurt by Fukuchi, that's why Dazai wasn't there.

He's the only one Fukuzawa thinks is safe right now.

[neo--queen--serenity]

I know we all like to joke about Fukuzawa’s spectacularly bad taste in men, but I think we should consider the possibility that it might be the other way around. Maybe Fukuzawa just inspires insane, manic levels of devotion and obsession in the men who fall for him, did you ever think of that

[kyouka-supremacy]

Okay I'm going to be honest for two seconds. I miss Akutagawa

[purrfectlycontent]

anime onlys will never know that the ada cares so much about dazai they literally crafted an entire plan on how to revive him if he actually dies

[juriyuki]

BUNGOU GAY DOGS

Choose your fighter

[00coldwolf00]

Dazai and Chuuya being alive and working together? Nikolai putting Fyodor’s hand against his face kissing it?? Young and present FukuFuku content??? Atsushi fighting alongside Akutagawa, who is in a new sick ass outfit???? SUDDENLY I LOVE BONES!!!

[rosalinesurvived]

Mori and Fukuzawa having to explain to Yosano that they still love each other, even though Mori abused her

Dazai and Chuuya having to explain to Akutagawa that they still love each other, even though Dazai abused him

Akutagawa and Atsushi having to explain to Kyouka that they’ve fallen in love with each other, even though Akutagawa abused her

[leechkiss]

a long-awaited rest

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

so. so fukuchi implicitly believes fukuzawa incorruptible or at the very least the one he trusts in most, by agreeing that dictatorships are poisonous and yet still entrusting him with one order. but the intro to fukuzawa’s backstory we get is that he ultimately was changed by the nature of the assassinations he undertook; that he quit because he was starting to enjoy the killing. the ability to remain impartial and resist corruption of being is tied to the ability to step back from power. to step down when you’re ahead. but fukuzawa can no longer do that can he.

[vitasexualiiis]

the tragedy of fukuzawa and ranpo's canon relationship is that i genuinely think that ranpo believes he loves fukuzawa more than fukuzawa loves him.

that's why he's so cranky when fukuzawa wants to find atsushi, even though it's illogical and atsushi is a liability. it's only fukuzawa saying that ranpo's reward will be his praise (read: appreciation) that makes him act.

it's why ranpo pictures fukuzawa like THIS when he thinks of his complicated relationship with his friends--that they need him, but as skill users, will always be better than him--during his confrontation with mushi.

note that this is right after fukuzawa tried to sacrifice himself for the greater good during the cannibalism arc, and that he's currently punishing ranpo for going against orders and trying to save him. (also of note is the fact that ranpo thinks that fukuzawa will be angry with him for trying to get kunikida out of jail.)

it's no coincidence that during this same confrontation, one where mushi is forced to admit that he did the unspeakable for a loved one, ranpo also admits that he would also do terrible things for the sake of his loved ones.

it's part of why he's so furious that fukuzawa won't listen to him at the start of the hunting dogs arc, which happens immediately after the above.

it's why he's so jealous of fukuchi, to the point where fukuchi can get ranpo to act in a way that atsushi has never seen before. fukuchi's taunting has ranpo literally trembling with rage during this scene in the anime.

AND! STILL! after all of this--after fukuzawa repeatedly puts his desire for justice above his love and respect for ranpo, after ranpo's dealt with years of fukuzawa sticking up for fukuchi--someone ranpo REALLY doesn't like for both obvious and less obvious reasons--he still trusts fukuzawa and lets fukuzawa's desires guide him.

even when he knows fukuzawa is wrong.

how couldn't this shake ranpo's faith that he matters as much to fukuzawa as fukuzawa means to him? that fukuzawa's desire for justice and upholding the greater good--his need to forever atone for his past--will always mean more than his relationship with ranpo?

that maybe, one day, fukuzawa won't choose him in a way that takes him out of ranpo's life for good?
