Bsd but it’s all quotes from random movies/books

Some of the quotes are modified to better fit lol.

Dazai: Fine, but if he kills us all, I’m going to get Atsushi’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost

Ranpo: I’ll just hire Chuuya’s ghost to kick your ass

Chuuya: My ghost won’t associate with your ghosts.

————

Atsushi: Dazai is… I don’t know, he’s like nobody else I’ve ever known. He surprises me.

Kunikida: Yeah, like a hive of bees in your dresser drawer

————

Akutagawa: All right, any idea where Chuuyas going?

Atsushi: To kill someone.

Akutagawa:  Ah. That explains the anger, and the corruption, and all that. Good. Makes perfect sense, now what? Atsushi, come on. I'm 147 pounds of pale skin and fragile bone, okay? Sarcasm is my only defense.

————

Dazai: I’ve got an idea

Kunikida: Does it involve breaking the law?

Dazai: By now don’t you think that’s a given?

Kunikida: I was just trying to be optimistic.

Dazai: Don’t bother

————

Mori: Wait, everyone here’s a dude! I think we’re in a gay club!

Kouyou, surrounded by drag queens: Man, nothing gets past those keen mafia boss senses..

————

Atsushi: You sure everything's okay between you and Chuuya?

Dazai: Yeah, everything's fine. Dammit, the cops took my fake ID..

Atsushi: You didn't do anything to make him angry?

Dazai: How angry?

Atsushi: A scale of one to ten. One being "kind of irritated" and ten... and ten "wanting to kill you violently”

Dazai, laughing: Chuuya’s kind of always at a four, but we’re good.

————

Fukuzawa, looking at Poe in the corner: Who is he again?

Ranpo: Uh..My cousin.. Miguel..

Fukuzawa:

Poe:

Ranpo: Aha..

————

Mori: I want you to be completely honest with me. Totally and completely honest. Have you been time traveling?

Teen Dazai: Hang on, what?

Mori: Because if time traveling is real, I'm done, I'm out. You're going to be driving me to the nursing home.

Teen Chuuya: We found him like that.

Mori: Where? Swimming in the fountain of youth?!

Teen Dazai: No. We found him buried in a glowing tomb in an Azetec temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake.

————

Atsushi: Shouldn’t someone give like, a pep talk?

Dazai: Probably. Go ahead, Ranpo.

Ranpo: Oh. Ok, Be careful. Don’t die.

————

Teen Dazai, after a mission: It looked like an experiment gone terribly wrong - something from a nightmare. Part animal, part demon, he rolled and clicked along the stone pathway. Its body resembled a short slug-

Teen Chuuya: sTOP TALKING ABOUT ME LIKE THAT, YOU PEICE OF SHIT!

————

Dazai, running by: If anyone asks where I am, I’ve left the country!

Atsushi: ok WHAT THE FUCK

————

Ranpo, frantically: Do you know anything about sensory deprivation tanks? Specifically how to build one?

Fukuzawa: Sensory deprivation– What is this for?

Dazai in the background: ..Fun..

————

Atsushi: You know what this half-baked plan of yours sounds like to me? Child endangerment. I’m out.

Dark Era: Dazai and Akutagawa

The Scene in Dark Era where Dazai shoots Akutagawa was abusive and messed up, but sadly justified on Dazai's end.

Now this may sound harsh but let's take a step back from the emotions the scene causes and look at it purely logical and analytical. (No I am not excusing the abuse Akutagawa went through. Dazai had no right to abuse him but this scene is more than abuse.)

What happens in this scene?

Per Dazai's orders as an Executive within the Port Mafia agents from Mimic were captured to be taken to Kouyou for interrogation, as is her department. Akutagawa then kills the hostages in retaliation for the casualties the Mafia suffered at the hands of Mimic. Dazai proceeds to punch and shoot Akutagawa.

In essence this is what happened: Akutagawa disregarded direct orders of his executive in front of multiple people and said executive. Plain and simple, this is insubordination.

We know, due to Stormbringer, that insubordination of the Boss and his executives (who essentially work as extensions of the Boss within the BSD Mafia) is a death sentence. It's at the same level as betrayal.

So, while messed up and abusive, Dazai's reaction can be classified as a mercy. Had it been another executive or Mori, Akutagawa would be dead. And no, you can not use that Chuuya cares for Akutagawa as an argument against Akutagawa dying here were it Chuuya. Chuuya's loyality is to the Mafia and Mori in a situation like this. We saw this at the end of the Guild Arc when Chuuya asked Mori what punishment Akutagawa should face for disregarding Mafia orders and going on to the Moby Dick. Since the moment in Dark Era is a similar case, it is safe to assume Chuuya would have asked Mori for the punishment and then delivered it.

Now here comes the much more interesting part about this scene I sadly do not see talked about. (If you find posts talking about it please send them my way!)

This scene shows us, in a very subtle way, how the dynamic between Akutagawa and Dazai works.

But how? Let's count it: - Akutagawa is very self assured in his insubordination. - Dazai gives him a chance to speak up about his reasoning, to defend himself and ask for forgiveness for his blatant insubordination. - Akutagawa in turn arrogantly doubles down on his decision. - Dazai punishes him.

While Dazai framed the moment at the end as a teaching moment with his comment about Akutagawas use of Rashomon, it is mostly a punishment. Yes there are 2 moments that can be seen as a teaching moment but what Dazai does is in fact nothing more than a punishment in his eyes.

(Giving Akutagawa the chance to think about his rash action was the first teaching moment btw)

Now the way the scene is handeled with it's framing tells us something interesting about the relationship between Dazai and Akutagawa.

Dazai actively favours Akutagawa with his treatment.

But how? It's a good question because the answer is very much hidden.

Both characters treat the situation as something usual. This in turn tells us that Akutagawa often commits insubordination against Dazai. And only Dazai, since Dazai takes him under his wing as his direct and only student. (This is made clear in the short where he actually recruits a younger Akutagawa) This means that Dazai does favour his student above other subordinates rather openly. We know he would not let this slide with other people under his command. The scene at the beginning of the Dark Era LN with Hirotsu shows this.

Akutagawa's reaction to being shot also tells us that this is the first time Dazai points a weapon at him. While not expecting, but accepting, the punch he did not expect to face a harsher punishment than this.

He is visibly surprised. But not just him.

In the Anime adaption (which is the best LN adaption in BSD) we see that even the other subordinates around them only become surprised when Dazai draws the gun and shoots Akutagawa.

Did Dazai think Akutagawa would survive being shot at? 100% yes. He even says as much after the fact.

(This is actually what makes teaching moment number 2, since he remarks that Akutagawa "finally" managed to protect himself with Rashomon. This tells us that they were actively training this and Akutagawa was failing at it for some time already.)

In short: - Akutagawa feels very much secure in his position at Dazai's side, despite the regular abuse. - Dazai favours Akutagawa openly enough within the PM that other subordinates are surprised when Akutagawa faces an openly harsh punishment. - Akutagawa, in committing insubordination, regulary disrespects Dazai as his superior and Dazai let's it slide. This is something that mirrors the relationship between Dazai and Mori, as Dazai does disrespect Mori in private and Mori let's this slide. (The biggest difference in this relationship mirror is that Dazai never disrespects Mori in front of other people.)

In my eyes (and I hope we learn more soon) this also shows that Dazai's abuse of Akutagawa has multiple reasons. - Dazai sees himself in Akutagawa. Dazai also hates himself and blames himself for shortcomings so he projects this onto Akutagawa, who he then abuses because of it. - A warped sense of care. In his own, very fucked up, way Dazai does care for Akutagawa. Is he good at showing it? Absolutely not. He wants Akutagawa to be stronger than Dazai himself is, he wants him to be better. So he favors him but also abuses him. - He favors Akutagawa so Akutagawa needs to get strong extremely fast to avoid a conflict within the ranks of the Mafia. - Dazai tries to get Akutagawa as strong as possible as fast as possible since Akutagawa effectively went from joining to third highest rank in 10 seconds and needs to prove himself in front of everyone else, not just Dazai's eyes. In this he ends up abusing Dazai because he himself is a child with a very limited understanding of teaching. What he does know, through Mori as his teacher, is that cruelty and abuse are effective teaching methods that work faster than proving patience and taking things slow.

(am I saying that Mori physically abused Dazai? No. But he, as shown in Beast and Fifteen, honestly answers to the questions his students ask him. It is entirely possible that he simply told Dazai different teaching methods and Dazai decided on the fastest one instead of the best and most effective.)

and thank you @sorcerersandskillusers for sending me the LN parts I mentioned above!! I didn't have the energy to look them up when I initially posted this and he did me the favor of getting them for me!

To summarize: The scene is a punishment for direct insubordination and shows us, the viewer, a deeper look into the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai.

[purrfectlycontent]

when i realized that akutagawa only asked him this because he wanted to figure out why atsushi was fighting so he could also find a reason to fight… OTL

[devotedlydeepeststrawberry]

If Akugatawa became a vampire at within 6 minutes of his injury, he might have still been alive. Essentially you would cure his vampirism and then make Yosano heal him

But before that, Bram and Aya join the Agency and Aku is with them, so Mori has a choice of gaining someone new and loosing Aku or just taking Aku back to the Port Mafia... No one leaves the Agency.

Happy end

[a-random-weeb]

how about kunikida, chuuya, akugatawa, and atushi who has trouble regulating their body heat to a worrying point. (either because of their ability or because their body is just like that) and the reader is always holding onto them for heat one second and then sweating to death out of no where?

Sorry for putting this one to the side for so long, I've been trying to figure out a way to properly figure out how to write this. I'm struggling a little. Im slowly chipping away at it now

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kunikida is a bit worried at first. He has no idea why your body is like this. Let's say your ability is literally just to constantly have a different body temperature, a real piss off of a 'gift'. He definitely gets you a hotter jacket and some kind of cool jacket so you can wear one for whatever is wrong. He's always worried about if you're overheating or way too cold. He hates the thought of the discomfort you have to go through. With Dazai leaching off him and his wallet like a fucking parasite, I don't think he could afford fancy blankets and whatever. If you ever forget your jackets, he'll let you cuddle into him for warmth while he's working or something.

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°

Chuuya has already bought you 150 different temperature blankets. Ones for when you are too hot, others for when you are freezing cold. I think he loves it when you cuddle into him for warmth, he thinks it's so cute. He also buys you the same jackets kunikida would. He's so scared you're gonna die of overheating, specifically because you say "I'm dying of heattttt". He takes it way too seriously and dumps more cold blankets on you. He's constantly worried about you, but overreacts just a little bit.

Atsushi:

•Hes dirt poor, so he can't afford to buy you anything that could help

•He does let you cling to him for warmth though

•Tries to comfort you

(I couldnt think of anything else 😭 nothing for akutagawa either, sorry)

[thequeenofsarcaasm]

can u pls explain the play on getos name in ur latest fic cuz i didnt get that😭😭

I’m so glad you asked OMG. You might be the only person who read the notes 😾

So, the main idea is that Gojo is hoping to win the Akugatawa award (the most prestigious award in Japanese literature) for his book and is seeking a source of inspiration.

When he sees all the excitement around Geto at the strip club, he assumes it’s gonna be mediocre (popular things bad etc)

That’s when he thinks: “mediocre won’t get me an Akutagawa. Oustanding will.”

And the thing is the “Suguru” literally means “excellent” or “outstanding”. So he’s basically announcing unbeknownst to himself that Geto, the guy he never even saw but assumes is overrated, will become his muse.

I use the word “outstanding” a lot in the fic but when it’s in italics, it’s code for Geto, not just an adjective.

PS: I know you read “Joy” (trans Geto). When they were kids and looking for a new name for him, Gojo chose the name “Suguru” cause he wanted to honour his outstanding friend.

Thank you for asking. I love you to bits

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥"?

The Angel is a fan character yours truly has had the idea for ever since he laid eyes upon good old Lovecraft. And the idea of more beings like him existing in the world of Bungou Stray Dogs. He is, as expected, a angelic being who seems to exist inside or as part of a relatively normal 21 year old man named Yuichi Specter. Who has started believing he is losing his mind as he has been waking up with salt all around his bed in a circular formation. He has been seeing someone constantly in the corner of his eye, although calling it a someone would be generous. It has no solid form, no defining characteristics aside from two shining golden eyes staring at him.

In actuality what he is seeing is the angelic being "The King Of Salt" trying to make his way into control of Yuichi's body.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨?

When he is not trying to take over Yuichi and has assumed 1 of 2 states. Known as "Tainted State" and "Untethered State". King is by all means...a absolutely jerk. He is incredibly merciless and can and will kill anyone he has to or wants to. However he shows a side of him described as "Judging", he believes humans must be judged for the sins they've all committed. (Don't let him near Dazai).

King HAS however displayed signs of emotion as he seems unnaturally fond of children, he believes they have the highest chance of purity in the world. And will go out of his way to stop whatever he is doing should a child be in danger.

But onto his powers that he wields.

King, as his name suggests, can control and generate sapernatural salt. Which despite what it sounds like, is incredibly deadly. He is able to erect walls of this salt as shielding when in his Untethered State. He can summon waves of it which will turn almost anything it touches into salt. Effectively killing them. He forms a spear out of this salt as his main offensive weapon which he is capable of launching and making grow tremendously.

Due to the black, almost tree branch, wings he sprouts while fully transforming into his Untethered State he is fully capable of flight and hovering. Even if one of them is destroyed.

He has superhuman levels of strength, durability, endurance, etc. Being able to tear metal apart with ease in his full form. And fast enough catch a bullet fired at him by Port Mafia leader Mori when he wanted to see if he was real, he managed to force his control over Yuichi and transform and catch the bullet. Then turn it into salt before he faded back to Yuichi.

King is capable of causing electronic interference when he is approaching or when putting enough focus into it even while not manifested. He uses this to cause lights to flicker and even explode. His other abilities are largely unknown.

Who does King and Yuichi work for?

Yuichi was brought into the Port Mafia when he was discovered months ago by members Gin Akugatawa and Ichiyō Higuchi while King was in control and "punishing the sinners" and so they brought the unconscious boy back when Yuichi woke back up taking back control. As previously mentioned Mori shot at Yuichi when he wanted to see if it was true and was left surprised as the bullet was caught, Yuichi's eyes turning pitch black then gaining glowing golden eyes with a emotionless look as his black wings cracked and snapped into place behind him. They stared at each other either in shock or disgust on King's part. When King faded back and Yuichi woke up he had been offered a place in the Mafia as King was theoretically incredibly powerful and they needed to get more assets. Using his situation of growing anxiety and fears, combined with secretly orchestrating him to be fired from his job, Mori managed to get Yuichi to agree to join saying they could help one and other.

Part 2 for Yuichi himself coming soon ❤

[breadsoup00]

Akugatawa: I’m going to take you out 

Atsushi: great, it’s a date!  Akugatawa: I meant that as a threat.  Atsushi: See you at five!

[number1morihater]

instead of atsushi and akugatawa(idk how u spell his name) being yin and yang it’s gege and asagiri, Gege kills everyone in his universes, asagiri refuses to kill people???

[someone-exists-here]

HI HII I just stumbled upon ur blog and came to say I absoloutely LOVE ur writing and poe fighting with akugatawa over the last white victorian blouse is so real help😭

Thank you so much :D !!

YOU CAN'T TELL ME THEY WOULDN'T. they also haven't met in canon yet, so for all we know, it COULD be canon....

[boneless-mika]

Shipping or not shipping characters out of spite is something that just doesn’t make sense to me. Like Akugatawa/Atsushi is a massively popular ship so there are definitely people I hate who ship it but that won’t stop me from shipping them like?? What’s even the point of that?

[casualcrusadepeanut]

I strangely found this suicide scene beautiful...

[fangirlasf]

if you look like dazai osamu feel free to slide in my dm's

[ghostshadow-k-r]
