okay but howl and gojo are the same person in different catergories am i right or i right
#had a revelation#reread the books and ohhh boy i forgot how much i loved book howl and his slithering ways#‘his heart is really quite soft’ STOP#he’s actually sooo fascinating? i dont get why people are so against him#and i lovee the movie but book sophie is so special to me#cause she’s just as flawed a charchter as howl is!! if howl is dramatic and vein then sophie is reckless and quick tempered#i think their egos are equally matched tbh#and gojo!! him and howl as the childish but rlly very competent and powerfull teacher#who does their best to hide their vulnerability from others#howl pendragon#howls moving castle#studio ghibli#gojo satoru#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#i think they tend to have similar approaches yk#i’d throw in dazai but i think he’s a little too far to the left for this one#also dare i say… koro-sensei from assasination classroom?#oky but the parallels between gojo and koro-sensei go so hard now that im thinking abt it…#powerfull beings considered nonhuman by others… betrayed by someone they dearly trusted… dead love interest… turning dangerous situations#into a learning environment… considered geniuses/the best in their field…#also: they’re both dead so

if this bothers anyone they can kindly feel free to leave or ignore it or whatever but can we stop flooding the x reader tags with half-baked thinkpieces on why people should or shouldn’t do whatever with their writing. every other post is “you shouldn’t romanticize [x]” “you’re problematic if you do [x]” “stop writing about [x]” “[x] is gross and if you write about it kill yourself” how about if you don’t like certain content you heed the content warnings, block the tags, don’t interact with it, so on and so forth. of course part of our responsibility as writers, especially ones dealing with sensitive topics, is to label and tag our works appropriately but let’s be real—i hardly see any writers (at least within the bsd fandom) who don’t make it abundantly clear what they do/do not write about, interact with, or tolerate. wait until you find out how much fucked up shit happens in real life and how much some person on the internet coping with their trauma by writing self insert fanfiction about a cartoon character doesn’t fucking correlate to the perpetuation of that fucked up shit at all. it doesn’t even have to be that serious. people are going to write and read the content they want and they’re allowed to and you spilling your complaints all over the x reader tags “to boost attention” isn’t gonna change that. if you don’t like something ignore, unfollow, block, mind your own business. it’s actually super easy
#notice how i’m gonna tag this discourse… because that’s probably an appropriate tag to use#discourse#also these posts are almost always riddled with kys sentiment. like okay what makes you any holier than what you’re criticizing#don’t even get me started on the whole fiction inherently affects reality#because of course it does#but it doesn’t HAVE to#almost like there might be some nuance#and black and white thinking doesn’t really apply to things rooted in the infinite ways human beings can experience things#yall ever heard of writing as an outlet? 💀#my detailed descriptions of dazai whacked out of his mind on hard drugs are not manuals for how to live your life btw#cause i guess that needs to be fucking stated#someone having a fucked up kink is not the end of the world. JUST DONT LOOK AT IT!#and if you’re writing dark/sensitive content and not tagging it im squinting real hard at you. tag your shit#tldr tags exist for a reason. use them and use them right? it’s what they were fucking invented for#some of u guys don’t pay bills and it shows#reid speaks.ᐟ#fanfic discourse

Teruko and Yosano should've faced off. I think Yosano should've been posed that question that Atsushi was; that reveal of the "future war" - Teruko went along with Fukuchi out of a mix of indebtedness and being at a loss for what to do. War is all she's known; of course she doesn't know. But Yosano has been to the depths of despair and come back out of it again. She might've faltered at this horrific reminder of her trauma, but when it comes down to it, she saves the lives before her. She fought for a way back to light and life. I just think there could've been a really interesting conflict there. And it would've made Teruko's role much more tragic if she wanted desperately for there to be a third option but just didn't have enough time to sit with it and process what that third option might be before Fyodor made it all go to hell.
Also a fight between them would've been interesting, because Teruko is much physically stronger than Yosano, but Yosano can heal from any physical injury inflicted. However, since we now know Teruko can alter mental age, she could inflict psychological wounds by de-aging her, which would've been a good callback to the horrors of war in her backstory, and also been a nice bit of foreshadowing for Teruko actually being a child.
Teruko eventually allowing Yosano to leave out that door after seeing her resolve would've been a deeply bittersweet and powerful moment, I think, especially in hindsight after her backstory reveal.
#look i love atsushi's response in that scene - it's a wonderful bit of character development for him to choose to walk out that door#i wrote a meta about it even#but it didn't go anywhere. and with teruko being present and having such an impact at the climax of the arc#her tragedy would've hit harder if she'd had literally any moment of relation with a member of the main cast.#also atsushi didn't even really do anything with the info. it was literally just to tell the audience that there was more to the story#his conflict really should've focused solely around sskk's previous failure and akutagawa's sacrifice#and meursault arc should not have been so prevalent. sorry.#either that or they should've kept dazai and fyodor contained and had sigma nikolai and chuuya be the main actors. but whatever#the arc should've been more focused on fukuzawa ranpo yosano fukuchi teruko and tachihara#from the start.#see i actually think the twists are fun and good but man i do wish we actually had the time to sit on them.#the emotional core is there it's just... buried under shock value plot twists. doa arc is a tragedy. let us sit with the tragedy.#fukuchi is a tragic figure by which i don't mean he makes me sad but like. a classical tragic figure. he was doomed from the moment#he went to war.#his desperation to avert another caused him to go hurtling down the path of no return. to hurt his friend ironically because he had#unshakeable faith in him#fukuzawa and fukuchi are the emotional core#the themes are war and desperation.#those only became fully evident at the very end. there was some great set up then the middle became a bit. muddled? to me?#i just think we needed to have picked a few focal characters and stuck with them. imo.#eh ignore me i'm not even really complaining i'm just thinking#bsd#storyrambles

kinda wild to me that one of the most compelling aspects of both Chuuya and Kunikida's characters to me, that I never really see talked about, is how they're heavily set on a doomed crash course towards complete and utter destruction, and how I am so, so worried for them both.....
#bungou stray dogs#been thinking a lot about chuuya lately (shocking for me i know (said with no sarcasm truly lmao it is rare for me))#cause of the 15 manga and also playing the fucking jeht quest in genshin impact ugh (where's the one dual genshin bsd fan who Understands)#but like this pressure has been building up for chuuya for so long due to being used and manipulated by all these people#first the sheep then mori then verlaine then still mori now#he was groomed since childhood just like dazai#but unlike dazai he didn't have an oda to help him get out of the mafia........ he's still stuck there#and his personality is different from dazai's. dazai was more self-aware imo (but still a groomed emotionally abused kid don't get me wrong#but chuuya's whole thing is needing to belong and wanting a leader to be loyal to but ending up in positions of leadership himself#which makes him feel pressured but he accepts and stifles any negative feelings just because he wants to belong#and all this crushed him with the events in the light novels and yeah he went through character growth but he's...... Still In The Mafia...#and that fucking scene asagiri added to the cannibalism stage play i don't think hardly anyone even knows about bc IT'S NOT DISCUSSED ANYMO#where mori emotionally manipulates him with the flags!!! and it deeply hurts him!!! and he presumably deals with that shit all the time!!!#it is WORRISOME. it WORRIES ME okay.#chuuya doesn't have anyone who can save him from the mafia (dazai is in no position to okay; it's all he can do just to try to save himself#and it's so so scary. it spells awful things for him.#didn't asagiri say he'd have a rough path or something??? and he added that fucking scene in the play!!! it haunts me!!#i fully expected this shit to hit a turning point in the meursault arc but we can't have nice things i guess#and as for kunikida a;lskdfl (took me this long to get to him oop) literally the ending of Entrance Exam (the novel) is just#One Big Foreshadowing for Kunikida's downfall#he's compared to the azure king for a reason. Sasaki saw the azure king in him for a reason. it's fucking worrying!!!!!#there hasn't really been anything like that since in the manga (just like for chuuya lol ugh) but he's TERRIBLE at coping with his trauma#and it only gets more apparent once shit hit the fan in the doa/hunting dogs/meursault arc#it's not good!!! i'm worried for kunikida too!!!!#even if the manga isn't focusing on this these worries are always in the back of my mind man#both kunikida and chuuya are doomed to hit some kind of breaking point eventually and i await those moments with dread yet anticipation#i want dazai to be able to save kunikida from the despair being too good a person brings the way he couldn't save oda#and chuuya.... if we get a scene with him & mori mirroring the one in dark era where dazai finds out that mori orchestrated the kids' death#oh man i think i'll fucking die (give it to me i need to cry)

it might be because I'm aroace and can't help but project on my favorite little pookie bears 24/7 but like....
not platonic kunidazai, just like, they're dating but they don't have sex, they don't want sex, it's not something that comes up cause they just mutually have their reasons to not want/need it.
and that's not to say they're never intimate with one another, it's just that their intimacy is different. to them, intimacy is taking naps in each others arms, no bandage's, just a blanket and each other's embrace. intimacy is Kunikida washing Dazai's hair while they sit tangled up on the floor of the tub. intimacy is kissing each other so so softly, over scars and marks and phantom pains, over bad memories and pleasant reminders. Intimacy is sharing a cup of coffee in the office. intimacy is mending each other's wounds. intimacy is skin on skin, trusting one another not to hurt, not to take, not to use. Intimacy is talking long into the night, close enough to hear the faintest of whispers, talking about life, their pasts, their fears, their aspirations.
it's all intimacy to them, they don't need sex. one doesn't need it and one doesn't want it ever again, and that's fine, they find their own ways to share that vulnerable space both crave to fill.
#I hc Kunikida is ace and Dazai has too much ptsd from ✨life events✨ and mori to ever have sex again without being put back there#and like. over time he was just really chill with that. like it sucked at first cause he craved that passion and pleasure and intimacy#but than Kunikida helped him find othwr ways and now he's jsut chill with himself and who he is#he's sure one day with enough work he could get to a place where it could be nice and Kunikida's not sex repulsed so he's always made it-#clear that if dazai wants to try and even gets to a point where he wants to do it regularly that it's fine and they can have sex#but its never been at the forefront or even the back burner for dazai. hes happy as is. its just nice knowing the door is there and unlocked#anyway#thats it thats the post#im projecting#aroace#acespec#asexual#kunikida bsd#kunikida doppo#bsd kunikida#dazai bsd#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#kunidazai#kunikidazai#knkdz#bsd#bungo stray dogs#Kunikida is so me btw#i just dont care#you want it? thats fine ill help no problem. you dont want it? equally cool we can sit on the couch and snuggle#he's just here for a good time

Ep 4 :)
#I LIKE Dostoyevsky. I like how mysterious and unreadable he is. What is his goal!!!! Why does he do what he does!!!!!!! He's very cool#I think knowing his ability now REALLY adds to his character. Him being so smart so manipulative so disruptive in the way he–#seemingly kills people on touch! Only added to this impression of him being “demon” and “inhuman”#But now that we know his ability you realize... That's all his doing; no ability.#His ability in a way does help humanize him by reaffirming that except for the moment he dies– he's got no superpower at all!!!#It's just him.#And yet at the same time also solves the exact opposite role of dehumanizing him because if it's not his ability that makes him like *that*#then he's even different than other ability users!!! Then‚ if not an ability user‚ if not a non ability user: what is //he//?#It's all SO compelling!!! Also makes for an extremely insightful narrative parallel with Dazai#Not an ability user not a non ability user. Not good not evil. (I feel like Dostoyevsky does exceed the definitions of good and evil as–#much as Dazai does. If he causes evil‚ yet does so with the intention of bringing salvation to humans– is he really *simply* evil?)#Both have these borderline superpowers that make them extraordinary beings (we can call it super intelligence‚ but it goes from controlling#their own heartbit to everything else) but are unrelated to their respective abilities! Once again making them neither this or that#I find Karma's words at the end to be extremely insightful.“Ace was evil for sure‚ but this man isn't even evil.#He's a being from the beyond. A being that exceeds human limits.” Like!!! That's all that there is to it!!!!!!#Back to this chapter / episode. There's some themes / worldvies once again I don't agree with but narrative wise I think it's extraordinary#I feel like after the Guild arc the writing really matured a lot and this is a kind of preview of what the doa arc is going to be like#(aka very very well written especially if compared to the previous arcs)#The plot twists of this episode are all so unpredictable and exciting!!! I think it's remarkably witty how it takes advantages of previous–#clichés - villains always revealing details about their own ability in a way that is quite baffling - to actually surprise the audience.#It's so effective. How skillfully unpredictable Dostoyevsky is to the point you can never guess what he will do next!!!#Him killing Karma is... Idk so so soooooooo interesting. I could talk about this forever but I'm being very dispersive in the rable and–#running out of tags. The whole episode you're sorta rooting for Dostoyevsky. He's very cool and comes out charming in the way he keeps–#surprising the audience. He looks bothered by Ace's disregard of other people's lives and that makes him sympathetic too.#But then he kills Karma out of nowhere and it's an “Ah! You fell for his lies too– remember he's nothing but evil. He cares just as little#about life as Ace does”. And then??? Karma in his last words is himself so generous in his words to Dostoyevsky. It's baffling.#And it almost feels like thenarrative is once again turning around and telling you you should root for Dostoyevsky.#It's endlessly fascinating.#I have more to say about the worldviews I don't share and the art style Dostoyevsky was portrayed with this episode (love it!!)#But alas ran out of tags

Hey question to the BSD fandom at large: has Dazai ever outright lied? Not lied by omission or twisting the truth slightly but just giving flat out wrong information
#Ryn rambles#Bungou Stray Dogs#bsd#kinda want to go through the entire story again so far and see just how truthful everyone is#for some reason I feel like Dazai has never lied before#but I could be misremembering#I would like this information because it would help in analyzing him#‘cause you can’t take Dazai’s words at face value#but if he’s never lied that’s just — really interesting#I don’t have the words to express myself right now ugh

I’m still shock, how can Fyodor be dead? He wasn't my favorite character but he was charismatic. I really can’t believe it
Dude, I don't believe it cuz in the beginning episodes in the play, I saw somewhere that its probably fyodor who was hung on that cross, and Christianity is his whole THING.
Also fukuchi mentioned specifically 500 people being sacrificed?? (Which if jouno is apart of that I'm PISSED I want him back. Where is Jouno?) which might mean something specific
So I think he's going to be resurrected, quite possibly with the power of the book. If there is a "cult" around him (which I think is the case - the V is probably different than what Fukuchi was doing with his world peace thing) then they might bring him back. Also we still have sigma and nikolai - sigma can probably tell us about fyodor cause I know he isn't dead. The mystery WILL unravel around him eventually
And nikolai will either chase after him and use him to bring him back OR will do it himself. OR MAYBE !!! Nikolai will do something else. He's 100% a wild card (who should be arrested but obviously that isn't a top priority rn)
Fyodor's story isn't over just yet - even if he's dead, I think there's a lot more to be said about him story wise at the very least which means more content (I'm holding out hope at least. Like cmon no way he'd die and be thrown out like that nuh uh)
He's too integral to a lot of characters story, so he should be heard about at least !!
#lowkey this episode made me feel for him#heavy with nikolai#cause fyodor has heavy heavy trust issues and nikolai cant attach himself to anyone in a normal way#and it shows in the way that despite barely knowing each other they felt comfort with each other#fyodor liked that nikolai NEEDED him in some way even if it was obviously disturbing in many ways#and he planned to kill him because he truly did hate having people who were close to him#nikolai wanted to be what fyodor was but was really an emotional person#and wanted to express that somehow#and he did that in strange and violent disturbing ways#and for some reason fyodor could accept that#they both are really disturbed and can only be vulnerable in the disturbed#just some fyolai thoughts#but their dynamic was nice#and also i like how it shows how fyodor was scared of intimacy on many levels#dazai is ok with being hurt because he likes it but fyodor cant even comprehend realm of life i think#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd fyodor#bsd nikolai

I somewhat really love seeing bsd manga spoilers on my dash (I’m technically anime only) because it’s just. it’s always something so hilarious??? and in any other manga I just straight up wouldn’t believe it happens but with bsd I’m just sitting here like “that’s ridiculous lmao wonder what these bitches do next”
like OF COURSE fyodor and dazai are catfighting over chuuya! why wouldn’t they
#I have more than one mutual writing meta about dazai and fyodor and chuuya#and I'm just nodding along as if I knew what's going on IT'S FUN#and also so strange cause with other series I HATE seeing spoilers#like jjk#I really would've preferred to see that while reading the manga#chi talks#this is NOT an invitation to send me spoilers on anything else btw!

“He who sees no meaning in life feels alive in death.”
~ My thoughts on that part of Dazai's character.
#I've been obsessed with BSD for a while now and I came up with this line last midnight after reading the light novels#this randomly popped into my head??#and we all know dazai doesn't feel alive and that he finds life meaningless for the most part#and my mind had also latched onto a theory that said he didn't really want to unalive himself#and that attempting was merely to remind himself that he's human#so like... idek lol#give me feedback pls?#bsd#bungou stray dogs#dazai#dazai osamu#bsd dazai#also this is my pathetic attempt at trying to write something cause I have writer's block that is refusing to budge

so unless something happens in the future that magically heals dazai's injuries, i have decided he uses a crutch/cane post-meursault.
#ooc.#at least for a little bit#idk if this is something that would give him permanent damage#i myself have never broken a bone so i dont really know#but there is so much official art of dazai with crutches so he's definitely broken that same leg multiple times over the course of his life#so it's definitely fucked up#he's also very bad and doesn't use mobility aids as much as he should#his body is already so damaged and he hates anything that would make people pity him#but he will also use it as an excuse to be lazy#and no one will ever know when it actually flares up and causes him pain or if he's exaggerating#it's just another way he cries wolf and i hate him for it

What if Bones censors this scene and instead Fyozai take pills in the anime instead.
#fyodor dostoevsky#osamu dazai#bungo stray dogs#bsd#bungou stray dogs#I don't know man from what I have scene anime rarely has syringes in it for some reason#or scenes in which someone get's injected a substance#which would suck cause I REALLY need it

@autymns said: ❛ you stain the pages with yourself. ❜ (beast verse) ↬ quotes that broke me starters
⸻ in a literal sense , chuuya’s statement strikes true. but factually speaking , the executive is gifted with blissful unawareness ( attributed to his handiwork and bitten tongue ) , which resultantly categorises his sentence as yet another goading insult. though , he supposes he should amuse the leader every now and then — sparingly , of course — with the precision of a calculated sprinkle.
❝ oh , are you poking fun at my signature now ? ❞ glancing , anthracites focus on etched approvals. furthering antics , a head lofts to the man situated by his side. he blinks curiously at first , then with lips ajar , he extends his reel of scrutiny. ❝ is this not my job , chuuya ? ❞ hm. veiled , ebonies fade behind lowered lids.
if he were to ever express the truth , the machinations behind all his orchestrations. the core ideal as to why he was preserving it all. then it may very well become undone before the first syllable leaves the tip of his tongue. that wasn’t to discount the thought had ever crossed his mind , however , for on several occasions , dazai had experienced it in passing. gratefully , it had been dismissed almost immediately.
sticking to the script , will always be the safest route , he concludes. ❝ perhaps , you’d like to take over. ❞ the glimmer in his eye sparks a challenge , drawing the bud of crimson back into his grasp , lest silly little thoughts plague his silly little head.
#* ✦ 𝐈𝐈. ❮ asks ❯ ⸻ ❝#* ✦ 𝐕𝐈. ❮ muses ❯ ⸻ ❝ 「 osamu dazai 」#* ✦ 𝐗. ❮ verse ii | dazai ✦ beast ❯ ⸻ ❝#we gotta have some sillies every now and then#even if it still plummets into some form of angst#cause i mean can we really escape angst when it comes to beast

his silly little crush
Didn’t know ppl just ignore their crush for a wayyy better and more handsome dude and be able to ignore their calls and pick up someone else’s instead <3 anyways as I said, keep coping keep scrambling ❤️
Yeah cause if there’s one thing Dazai is gonna do, he’s gonna be an annoying little shit sometimes, and back out of any form of intimacy that gets too close cause he’s afraid of losing it, but just can’t let chuuya go entirely. And what you don’t know, is that in that third picture, Dazai and Chuuya are definitely touching/holding hands behind their backs, and will be smooching a little when they get home.
#the entire show/manga and you only have the same four pictures?#which don’t really prove anything?#cause they aren’t even canon?#like all of this is a silly goofy headcanon#please touch grass#side eye#dazai anon#bsd#Annie’s asks#i am having too much fun with this#tw discourse#meanie#proofs
