#bsd no longer human

[unicornpopcorn14]

If Dazai's ability can be transferred through objects (as in what happened in the 15 manga/LN when he touched one end of the ribbon and it nullified Randou's ability) then what is even the point of having the "skin contact to activate it" rule?? 😭😭 Just give him a pole or a rope and he'd render all his ability-reliant enemies powerless without maintaining any proximity.

Imagine him bonking a corrupted Chuuya in the head with a stick and Arahabaki nullifies-

yknow what. Human Abilities AU where people's abilities are just... their own person. similar to a modern au but the abilities are also there but as actual people ^^ starting with sskk and skk! (am i making it into yin-yang w|w and double black m|m? maybe. i dont know myself. i think.)

byakko would be the strict but motherly protective tiger that i headcanon her to be. very protective of atsushi since he still goes through hell in an orphanage, and really, she has no filter but is nice enough to place one on for... five minutes. voice claim... ethereal but monotone. my girl's blunt. ex: tigress from kung fu panda rashomon would likely act similar to aku in a sense, but... more teasing. she likes to rile byakko up, but those happen on, like, a good day. which is one out of... two-three weeks. but similar to byakko, she's protective of the siblings very much, and can and will spoil those two with sweets since the whole slums situation. now her voice claim would likely have an elegant voice compared to byakko, yet both have the same bite. ex: yae miko from genshin impact but toned down. --- how these two interact... hm. probably how atsushi and aku were from day one in canon, they hated each other. but it could go two ways: where they catch fists or egged on by rashomon's teasing... "or is she threatening?" <- byakko. but after some time, from hating each others guts when on site and also not, it more or less evolves to them... liking each other's company. byakko helps rashomon regarding seeing things in other perspectives, however blunt they are. and rashomon helps byakko with the social cues. neither of them are the talkers, but when its just them two, no words would be spoken and yet they just understand what they need.

now for no longer human, whom i shall call "null". null is... silent. the silent eerie character that rarely talks but is just... there. not much cues in his blank and expressionless face, and his posture is solemn and tight. he acts much similar to 15!dazai but more melancholic. he took the brunt of whatever happened in his and dazai's childhood, he's a lot more mature than that. his voice claim would be a deep voice, could be heard as monotone or angry to strangers, but with those who's familiar with him, it's just... calming. ex: the horse from the boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse. for the tainted sorrow, or more or less arahabaki... he's basically a chuuya but more destructive, and he doesn't want to slow down. but when it comes to null, its either that he has to be in pace with the other or he can and will drag them. they don't care. but of course, others wonder why he cares so much for null if its said that he doesnt care at all. now some might say that no one could manage to understand him, others would say that he might speak riddles. a sort of ethereal tone, and it's oddly pitched. possible ex: sphinx from dragons dogma 2. --- this one's different, how they interact. basically: arahabaki would try and egg null on, get them riled up, but for the sake of proving the man wrong in his own point. it's unfortunately that both null and dazai have that sense of not being human. and while chuuya has his own way in showing dazai he has a life worth living, arahabaki's situation is a more difficult one. because null's more observant and quiet, the man likely has several scenarios going through his head on what's to happen, and has definitely figured out what arahabaki's planning on doing and avoided it with some certain word of phrase. so, arahabaki turns those words against null. two can play that game. but while arahabaki helps null with that, null helps with arahabaki's destructive and explosive tendencies, managing to defuse a situation in mere seconds and get them out of trouble. they're looking out for each other, and they have their backs.

Imagine that's how his ability feels to other people too, not just himself.. No wonder he is so touch starved

Thinking about how when Asagiri explained why he picked ability nullification as Dazais ability he said he wanted something powerful that "destroys everything", something that sucks the very life force out of you much like that emptiness you'd feel after reading one of the authors novels.

Chuuya: Dazai come here I need your help

Dazai: what’s up

Chuuya: *gestures frantically at computer screen*

*five minutes later*

Kyouyou: boys have you finished the mission report

Dazai and Chuuya: *crying in corner pointing at computer screen*

Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

[unicornpopcorn14]

We don't have enough fics of Chuuya secretly admiring No Longer Human like we have of Dazai secretly admiring corruption. This fandom's favoritism has disappointed me. I must take a stand to change that! ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ /j

[ranpos-juice-box-supplier]

If I ever wake up with amnesia, don’t waste time explaining my identity—just put on Bungo Stray Dogs and let nature take its course. At first, I’ll watch in peace, blissfully unaware. But the second Dazai appears on screen, my hands will start shaking. I won’t know why, but something in my very soul will stir, a deep, aching recognition. Then Odasaku will show up, and suddenly, I’ll be on the floor, clutching my chest, gasping for air like I’ve been physically struck by the weight of emotions I can’t even name.

By the time Chuuya makes his entrance, I’ll be gripping my head, screaming at a frequency only dogs can hear. My hands will move on their own—pausing, rewinding, frame-by-frame analyzing like it’s second nature. And then, it’ll happen. The final trigger. Maybe it’s Dazai’s too-perfect smile, maybe it’s a single line of dialogue that feels too familiar. Whatever it is, my brain will violently reboot, my memories slamming back into place like a tragic anime protagonist regaining their past-life trauma.

I will rise from the ashes, eyes glowing with the unholy knowledge of multiple rewatches, and whisper:

‘I have returned.’

Dazai Feels.

I'm tired of people saying Dazai doesn't feel.

He does, in fact, he might feel more than most characters in the show, but there's a difference between not feeling and hiding those feelings.

He feels painfully. He feels deeply. He feels terribly. That's the whole point.

Let me go into No Longer Human for a second.

Because it's not that Yozo didn't feel at all, it's almost as if those feelings overwhelmed Yozo. They were so overwhelming and distorted that Yozo didn't know what to do with them. He couldn't understand them. He couldn't control them. And that fear and shame drove him deeper into isolation.

That's why he excluded himself as a human being. Not because he didn't feel, but because he couldn't understand those overwhelming feelings.

Tying back to BSD Dazai.

The misconception that Dazai "doesn't feel" mostly comes from his Port Mafia days. Yes, he was the ruthless "Demon Prodigy" who didn't flinch at death and torture, the one who showed no mercy and gave people a reason to fear him.

But that doesn't mean he's hollow and empty. He couldn't wear his emotions like a badge of honor in the Port Mafia, or else no one would fear him.

He learned to build walls. Ones with sharp humor, cold intellect, and perfectly timed deflection. He made himself into someone who couldn't get hurt.

He mourned Odasaku. And he flipped his whole life upside down to honor his dying wish. You don't do that unless you care. Unless it hurts.

Happiness and sadness. Fear and anger. Panic and stress. Amusement and boredom. Bloodlust and ruthlessness. He's shown all of these at some point in his life.

Take, for example, in Mersault. He was constantly under stress to make sure his comrades would get out of this conflict safely. He would be constantly adjusting his pieces on the chessboard, not wanting a repeat of Odasaku. And when those plans fall through, he panics, because he's worried.

He's not some emotionless monster.

He's a human who thinks he isn't human.

So yes, Dazai feels.
