new one piece chapter this week :)

another week of not knowing what happened to law and bepo :(

I think it’s interesting how as time goes on Zoro kind of becomes more and more like mihawk in some ways whether that’s just because if you spend time with someone for 2 years you’re bound to pick up their habits or a deliberate attempt to emulate him is a conversation for another time. And Mihawk and Zoro where already pretty similar at the start so it’s a little hard to notice now.

But yeah whether unconsciously or consciously Zoro is becoming a bit more like Mihawk and it’s interesting to think that while this means maturing in some ways (he’s swordsmanship for one but he’s also just quieter much more assured of himself) it also means deaging in some others.

Despite their significant age gap and general dispositions, when it comes down to it Zoro is just a lot more emotionally mature and developed than Mihawk is. And a big part of why is because he found something larger than himself to devote his life too, hell Mihawk himself even kind of acknowledges this when he agrees to take Zoro on as a student when Zoro begs for the sake of his captain and crew. He acknowledges that putting aside his own ego and dreams for the sake of someone else isn’t something he can do and sees it as a fault in himself and a strength in Zoro.

Mihawk may be outwardly mature and his skills defiently did not stagnant but I’d wager that Mentally Mihawk is still stuck at the same age he was when he took over the title of world’s strongest swordsman. Honestly maybe even younger. And it isn’t until training Zoro, letting Perona stay with him, for probably the first time in his life taking charge of lives outside his own did he finally unarrest his development.

If Zoro is purposely trying to emulate Hawkeyes, which it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was that’s who he’s trying to be Afterall, then it would honestly set him back emotionally because fundamentally as he is now Mihawk’s attitude doesn’t work in a crew. It’s too singular, too abrasive. And while that abrasiveness can be useful in Zoro’s role as Luffy’s first mate sometimes it makes him a little too callous a little too apathetic, like with his disregard for Luffy’s sadness over vegapunk.

But Zoro has his crew to temper that, they are honestly just too ridiculous to ever stay serious around. And try as he might to hide it Zoro is also just a silly dude who likes to be horrifically petty with his opponents. And zoro still has so much fire in him, so much he has too prove and so much he wants to protect to ever really fall into Mihawk’s apathy. Zoro has Luffy who even after they reach their dreams will probably still continue to turn the world upside down forever keeping Zoro in some kind of trouble and his life interesting.

Zoro can’t be Mihawk because even Mihawk can’t be Mihawk anymore. Being with crossguild and crossing with the Red hair pirates and the strawhats is going to change him, it has too. if Mihawk is going to live after losing his title he’s probably gonna have to become a little bit more like Zoro.

Before driving deeper into Usopp’s side of thing, I want to focus a little bit on Luffy, because as I’ve mentioned previously, this fight between has a bit of a different flavor from other Luffy-centric battles, but what I haven’t mentioned yet is how public all this is. The final battles with big bads like Arlong, Crocodile, and Enel were all away from other people, but not here. The shift of Luffy becoming a more public figure started with his ass whooping of Bellamy way back in Jaya, but even that was only in front of a bunch of pirates. Showing up to rock Enies Lobby is what’s really going to launch him into the public spotlight, and so it stands to reason that this final stand against Lucci is seen by both the marines and the Straw Hat Pirates.

So far he and Lucci have been on pretty equal footing, but Lucci managed to save his last big trump card until this moment, and seems to have Luffy beat when Usopp shows himself for real. Oda puts a ton of emphasis on Luffy’s expression, this panel alone taking up 3/4 of the page.

And, like, imagine Luffy’s shock. The gag of him not recognizing who Sogeking is turns on its head and is instead played for the deepest, juiciest drama. Usopp isn’t a Straw Hat anymore. He had no obligation to come to Enies Lobby. But he did.

All throughout Enies Lobby there’s been this running thread of the Straw Hats helping each other out of situations they couldn’t handle alone. Nami saving Sanji, Sanji saving Usopp, Usopp saving Robin. Hell, Robin not trusting her friends to keep her safe from the World Government is what kicked off this mess in the first place. The whole reason Luffy was so adamant about going against Lucci was because he recognized him as the strongest threat to the crew, and it’s Luffy’s job as the captain to protect those under his leadership from that kind of danger.

But right now he can’t. He’s not strong enough. And it’s not until Usopp threatens to put himself in harm’s way against an enemy they both know he has no chance about that he stands up and finishes the fight. Because even the captain needs to be propped up by his crew once in a while, and Luffy would rather die than have one of his crew get killed.

Do you remember now the fight started between Usopp and Luffy in the first place? Usopp argued, using the Merry as a proxy for his feelings, that Luffy would leave behind and abandon the weakest members of his crew to further his own ambition, and here, now, Luffy is showing in a very real way that that’s not true. But even if Luffy is willing to put his life on the line to protect Usopp from people like Lucci, he still needs Usopp’s help. He still needed those words from his best friend in order to stand up one last time.

「 CUDDLING WITH BSD MEN PT 2/4 」

pairings: chuuya x reader ፥ akutagawa x reader ፥ oda x reader

tags: gender neutral reader, no agab mentioned, first person, fluff, cuddling/phyiscal affection

warnings: talks of canon illness in akutagawa, not proof read

other parts: ada ᨒ port mafia ᨒ doa + the guild ᨒ the hunting dogs

a/n: fyi for chuuya I have not read stormbringer so forgive me. oda is also short because I didn’t really know what to say for him. no gender or sex mentioned, no pronouns either!

// chuuya nakahara ⌇˚.༄

⮑ Is there such thing as classy cuddles? Because he gives classy cuddles.

⮑ The word I’d use for him in a relationship is classy, I can’t help it. But I do mean classy in a good way. Physical affection with him started off small, and he allowed you to pace when you were ready for more. I also see him as someone who always has an arm around you, either over your shoulders or on your waist.

⮑ He keeps pda to a minimum, he won’t cuddle you in public, especially in front his co workers. He’s an executive and he takes it serious. I also don’t think he’d want to show you as his weakness, he wouldn’t want you to get hurt.

⮑ Cuddling with Chuuya is oddly nice. Oddly because he seems rough on the outside. He is very rarely little spoon during cuddle sessions, he feels insecure. But he makes up for it, he’s a great big spoon. He’s a warm, very very warm. I can actually picture you in between his legs cuddling him while he has a wine glass in his hand. Now a many things could happen, one of you is talking, or you’re watching something. Either way, it works well with him.

⮑ The downside is he isn’t home much for cuddles. He’s either away for jobs or at work. So unless you’re willing to sit in his lap while he does paperwork, you don’t get your cuddles.

⮑ 7/10, very good cuddles …when you get them.

// ryunosuke akutagawa ⌇˚.༄

⮑ I just want to know how you managed to touch him in the first place.

⮑ Everyone always says he is touch adverse, which I completely agree, but then people usually say that when it comes down to it he hates it and stuff like that. I have to disagree. I think he’s terrified of it yes, he grew up without any form of physical love, but I do think deep down he yearns for it. He craves it and, when he finally gives in, his entire meticulously built wall completely shatters. Which is how I wonder, how’d you manage it?

⮑ I won’t lie, I believe behind closed doors once he’s comfortable with cuddling or touch and he’s quite clingy. You just feel so warm and well— safe. I can promise you though, it will only be behind closed doors. Do not try to be physically affectionate in public, especially in front of his coworkers. At least not for a very long time.

⮑ I like to imagine that after a time, with lots of reassurance about his ability, he will pull you into cuddles with rashomon. Which, I feel like he’d be bad about verbally asking for affection so he’d do that instead. It’s easier on his illness to use his ability.

⮑ Speaking of his illness sadly, it can make cuddling tough. One moment you could be resting in his arms and the next he’s having a nasty coughing fit. There’s been times when he’s be insecure about his illness and not want to be touched anymore.

⮑ 4/10, I love my baby but his illness + his traumas it’s hard for him to be physically affectionate.

// oda sakunosuke ⌇˚.༄

⮑ He takes care of orphans therefore I am a firm believer he knows how to cuddle.

⮑ I mean it too, he takes care of kids physically and emotionally, he’s got dad hugs. If anyone is gonna hold you and it make you feel safe and taken care of, it’s him. And he knows it too. And he has a six sense for when you need cuddling. And sometimes you end up in a cuddle pile with the kids. I don’t make the rules.

⮑ Oda is 50/50 with pda, he doesn’t mind it, especially if it’s something you love. But it does worry him, like Chuuya, he’s afraid of showing you as a weakness and you getting hurt or killed. But if it’s safe, he usually sticks to holding your hand or holding your waist. I can see him holding you close with your heads rested in each others shoulders while at a public theater.

⮑ Private cuddles are common and comfortable. Oh and he’s always the big spoon. He’s always holding you, I don’t really see him as the type to be held.

⮑ 9/10 you can feel all the care in his arms.

Oda already loved to worship your body. He swore he’d never seen someone as breathtakingly beautiful as you, and knew for a fact he never would. But now that you were pregnant? Holy shit. He could stare at you all day long and still not get enough.

The way your body had softened around the edges, your plush hips and how they had widened to accommodate for the baby, your steadily growing belly, your swollen tits. It’s a cliche, but you truly had that pregnancy glow - and Oda was entranced. Your body was a holy temple, at the feet of which he’d worship every day.

Already late enough into your pregnancy, you had decided to take maternity leave - or rather, Oda very much pushed you to - so you could stay rested and safe before your due date. But with Oda still working full time, it meant you got pretty damn bored. 

It struck Oda as strange when he walked through the door one evening, work bag slung over his shoulder, and didn’t see you on the couch waiting for him like you normally did. You had recently developed a hyperfixation on crocheting, especially plushies and blankets for the baby, yet all of the supplies had been abandoned on the kitchen table. He didn’t think too much of it though, just figured maybe you had gone to the bedroom to take a nap or call your friends or family. 

What Oda was not expecting, was what he actually opened the bedroom door to. 

Back propped up against an army of pillows, you laid completely naked on your shared bed with your legs spread wide, tears slipping down your cheeks as your hefty baby bump kept you from being able to touch yourself. Slick dripped down your thighs and your clit was swollen from how neglected and needy it was, but you just couldn’t reach. Oda's face fell and he rushed to sit by you on the bed.

“Oh, honey, what’s wrong?” he cooed, leaning in to wipe away the tears that continued to flow. He simply felt terrible - not only because you were struggling, but for how much this turned him on.

“Was so horny but you were gone, and now I can’t reach around my bump anymore,” you cried, leaning into the comforting touch of your lover. “I tried… a pillow for a bit but it was too tiring, and 'm too sensitive for the vibrator.” a deep frown had settled onto your face as you explained, burning with humiliation.

“Sweetheart,” your lover frowned, hand resting on the taut skin of your tummy as he tried to ignore the way your words made his cock twitch. Feather light fingertips traced along the stretch marks that adorned your hips, lips turning up into a gentle smile. “You’re beautiful, you know that?”

“Shut up,” you mumbled, though you didn’t really mean it - and Oda knows that. 

He moved to position himself between your legs, hands still resting on your stomach. “Can I help you out, baby? Show you just how beautiful I think you are? Hm?”

God, Oda always knew just what to say. Bottom lip tucked between your teeth, you nodded shyly. “Would you?” you normally weren’t this bashful, but there was just something about him and his presence that made you feel so giddy and… overwhelmed, almost.

“Nothing I'd rather do more, sweetheart,” he smiled. 

He didn’t waste any time either. Gently pressing his hands on your thighs, he spread them out further, marveling at your pussy that was now on full display. Pregnancy hormones had caused the tissues to swell slightly, your lips and clit puffy. 

“You’re fucking beautiful, baby,” he smirked, tracing the slit with his middle finger. Painfully desperate for stimulation, you were already whining. “Need more?”

You nodded frantically. More than happy to oblige, Oda's finger trailed up to play ever so lightly with your clit.

“Right there, right fucking there,” you gasped, keening. the one spot you’d been trying to reach for what felt like hours.

“I know, pretty, I know,” Oda soothed, continuing to rub slow but consistent circles around the hyper sensitive spot. 

Your toes curled and head fell back against the pillows as you got the stimulation you had needed so badly, but Oda was starting to get excited too - the growing hard-on in his pants undeniable proof of it. He’d love to lean in and kiss you, but the round dome of your belly acted as a barrier, so he opted to kiss the skin of it instead.

“So, so pretty,” he mumbled, deciding to slip one finger into your hole - it accepted it easily as you gasped. And you were more than slick and needy enough to welcome a second. His thumb remained on your clit, massaging it as he slowly but thoroughly fucked you with his fingers, occasionally scissoring them to stretch you out. The bulge in his pants only grew as more and more of your essence dripped down his fingers.

“Oda,” you whined, shifting your hips and clenching around his fingers. 

“Feel good?” he prompted as if he didn’t already know the answer. A slight smirk played on his lips as you only mewled and nodded.

In the beginning you had only just wanted to get off, rub your clit just enough for an orgasm or two to quell the aching desire in you, but now that your lover was present and helping you out, you couldn’t help but get greedy. Not when he looked like that, and was doing that. 

“Want more,” you whined, reaching to grip his arm.

“Yeah?” he was fully smirking now. “My pretty, pretty girl wants to be fucked with more than just some fingers?” Oda had never talked this dirty - not until he met you. Your slight nod was all he needed. 

Carefully helping you onto your side, Oda shimmied off his pants and boxers before slotting himself behind you, kissing up your back and shoulders. Spooning wasn’t his favorite position as he couldn’t see you too well, but it was what was most comfortable for you this late in your pregnancy. Even still, he was entranced by you. 

Only a few tugs to his heavy cock was enough before he was ready to give you what you wanted, the head prodding at your hole before slipping inside your needy cunt. Oda grunted as you nearly squealed, fascinated with how easily and quickly he completely bottomed out. Your poor cunt, how long had it been painfully desperate to be filled? 

A large, callused hand comes to rest on the underside of your belly, holding you close to him as he whispered sweet encouraging words into your ear. 

“My beautiful, perfect girl,” he mused, “so gorgeous carrying my baby. Everyone can see that you’re mine.”

It drove Oda absolutely mad every single day to see you waddling down the hallway or struggling to button yet another pair of pants in the morning - proof of your body growing his child. The baby he put in there. And when you walked down the street together, his hand on your lower back, everyone knew that you were his, and what he had done to you. What you had done together. 

His mind was absolutely reeling as he began to slowly thrust in and out of you, hand trailing down from your belly back to your clit.

“Oda!” you squealed, hips bucking towards the touch and clumsily throwing your head back against him. Only a soft chuckle left his lips as he continued to touch you and build up a faster pace. 

But now Oda was starting to get a little desperate too. Being gentle, he grabbed your leg by the underside of your knee and hoisted it up to give him better access, allowing for him to thrust a little harder and faster into you. The way he fucked you good and deep had you gasping for air, your hands flailing behind you to try and find him and grab onto him. His thick cock always stretched you out deliciously and hit all the right spots, and with the new angle he was managing to rub against your sweet spot with every single thrust.

“How you feelin’, pretty?” he asked. “The baby okay?”

You nodded fervently, digging your fingers into his arm. “S-so good,” you stuttered, breathless. “Baby’s okay, she’s fine, just- faster, please!” And how could he deny you when you were begging like that?

Hoisting your leg up even higher, Oda fucked into you with purpose. A mix of slick and precum drooled down your thighs and soaked the sheets underneath, the lewd, wet sounds echoing through the bedroom. You moaned and squeezed your sore tits that had swollen considerably since getting pregnant, but also had become much more sensitive. Massaging the soft fat only added to the ecstasy.

The way you were clenching tightly and creaming all over his cock had Oda’s mind short circuiting, and he could feel his high approaching faster and faster.

“Can you come for me, sweetheart?” he cooed, breathing heavily but nibbling lightly on your neck. 

“Please,” you whined.

Angling his hips just right, Oda used the grip he had on you to pull you towards him in tandem with his thrusts, hitting your spot over and over while the tip of his cock kissed your cervix. 

“G-gonna-” You couldn’t even get the words out before moaning loudly and squirting all over Oda. 

He continued to fuck you through your high, chasing his own - with the mess you just made all over him, it wasn’t long at all. 

“Want me to cum in you, pretty? Put another baby in you, yeah?” he panted. 

“Want you- want all your babies, Oda!” you cried out, hissing from overstimulation as he continued to fuck into your sensitive pussy. His hips stuttered before shooting a thick, warm load into you, grunting and groaning as his spent cock spit out the last of it. 

Setting your leg down gently and pulling out, you whined at the sudden emptiness and the way his hot cum oozed out of your hole. Sweet kisses were peppered all over your back and your cheek as Oda pulled you close to his chest, palm spreading out across your baby bump. 

“Can’t wait to give you all my babies, pretty girl,” he smiled, making you giggle softly. “At this rate, gonna keep you pregnant forever.”

And honestly, in your fucked out haze, and with the way he always worshipped you, that didn’t sound too bad.

[flashyfools]

months ago, while mindlessly scrolling through twitter, i came across an analysis of this particular panel from chapter 434 (i can’t remember who wrote the thread, i’m so sorry </3), and i really want to talk about it too.

(EDIT: original author of the thread is @goingbuggy!!! go check out their metas, they're amazing)

the thread was focusing on the way the speech bubble covers shanks's scar completely, and how it can be seen as a sign of vulnerability. oda is using shanks’s own words to hide his suffering, letting his physical scars be representative of his emotional ones, even though the event he’s talking about is completely unrelated to the way he got his scar.

in fact, we know shanks is not ashamed of the scar, since just a couple of pages after this one he mentions it directly as a way to start the conversation about blackbeard:

he doesn’t have a problem with the marking itself, it’s just used as a narrative device, a tool to highlight (in an extradiegetic way) his emotional wounds and the pain he always tries so hard to hide, in an effort to keep his usual composure.

the original author of the thread compared the panel from chapter 434 to another, way older one, from the very first chapter:

this takes place right after shanks loses his left arm to save luffy’s life. it’s obviously a very emotionally charged moment, which means the best thing to do would be showing a close-up of shanks’s reaction to everything that’s unfolding in front of him at that moment (luffy’s cries, or even his own reaction to his sacrifice). oda, however, chooses not to do that; instead, he hides half of shanks’s face, just like he did in chapter 434. the way the moment is portrayed tells the reader shanks is willing to hide his pain in an even deeper way than what he’s showing by smiling at luffy right after getting his arm chopped off.

it’s a great way to explain an important characteristic without stating it right away. it's a focal point of shanks's character: it's his way of showing luffy he cares about him and would much rather hide his suffering than pass it onto him, but it's also oda's way of conveying that shanks is much more vulnerable than what he allows himself to show.

having said that, the reason oda chose to bring back this framing in chapter 434 appears obvious: shanks misses buggy.

it’s plain to see, especially if we look at the whole page.

shanks tries so hard to act collected when talking about buggy, but it’s obvious that he’s hurting. his wording makes it clear he’s trying to detach from him (“that’s the end of it” + “rumors have it”); he acts like buggy doesn’t exist in his thoughts anymore, when it’s obvious he still does. he feels remorse, he regrets letting buggy go. he’s scared he might have been in the wrong. he knows he hurt buggy, but he desperately wishes he didn’t.

all of this weighs on him in a way he isn’t used to, so he locks these feelings up, thinking of them only in relation to something that happened in the past, and as so, stays in the past. he smiles while talking about him and buggy, but it’s a remorseful smile. he cuts the conversation short even though he vividly remembers what happened between them, and as he does so, his words hide the scar. he desperately tries to patch things up in his mind by exclusively clinging onto the good memories they share, but the remorse always creeps up on him. he always smiles when talking about buggy, even when he’s talking directly to him. but his smile always ends up looking sour.

this is exactly why i hate it when people say shanks doesn’t care about buggy. oda wouldn’t have given these panels so much depth if he didn’t want to show just how much shanks actually cares. even just the fact the panel we are focusing on directly mirrors a panel from the first chapter, one so important and impactful, should tell you everything you need to know.

buggy will always be shanks’s weakness. caring so much about someone when you’re a pirate of that caliber is difficult in itself, even more so when that someone is so far away from you now.

nothing like you-

Dazai x little sibling!reader

wc : 1.k

warnings : angst, very minor implication of sexual trauma in the beginning, light description of injuries, major character death [reader]

synopsis : “The one thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be.”

a/n : the reader might be dead but I'm not! surprise!

“Samu, please!” Your eyes were wild as you gripped onto the sleeve of his coat tightly— something happened during your last visit to Mori’s office- the meeting that, for some reason, Mori refused to let him join in on- because you weren’t so adamant about this before. “Please, let’s leave. Let’s leave and never look back and start a new life- anywhere but here. I can’t. I don’t wanna do it anymore.” 

Dazai felt his heart tugging in two different directions. On one hand, you were his little sibling; only by a year, sure, but he promised himself he’d do anything to protect you and stay with you always, and you did the same in return. 

On the other hand, he’d finally met someone who gave him a different outlook on life- who made even the slightest shine appear back in his eyes. How could he just…leave after finding that? 

“…you’re strong, n/n. You can do it- we’ll make it. You’ve got me and the slug.” 

You stared at him in disbelief, unable to really grasp the fact that your big brother was just brushing you aside. He didn’t even ask what happened. Didn’t show any concern for you. 

You couldn’t grasp the sight of your brother being so cold to you, so you grasped at straws instead. “We…we can take Chuuya with us! And..and Oda, and all the kids, and even Ango if he wants- we can all go together and start new lives, together!” 

The idea sounded amazing. Just the thought of it made Dazai’s heart warm, but he knew…Mori would never allow that. Even if each of you managed to escape, the boss doesn’t forgive and forget easily. It was safer to just stay. 

“Enough, Y/n. We’re staying. There’s no need to get everyone wrapped up in your selfish desires when we’re all already here.”

Any hope you had left of your big brother still being inside there- the one that made you laugh with dumb jokes, the one that held you when you cried, the one that never forgot your birthday and gave you hand drawn pictures because he couldn’t afford anything else, the one that promised to love you even after death- shattered. 

Dazai expected you to scream at him. To curse at him, to start throwing punches and kicks, to start crying about how he was the worst brother in the entire world. He wouldn’t blame you. It was true- just look at him. He didn’t even blink as he brushed you aside. 

You didn’t do any of that. You just stared at him, slowly blinking as tears cascaded down your cheeks. You’d gotten paler, as if the mere interaction was killing you. “I wanted to be like you so bad, Osamu…you protected me and took care of me even in the worst of situations and I wanted to be exactly like you so that I could return the care and love you’d given to me…”

His throat began closing up, fingers itching to reach out and grab you, apologize for turning out like this and take your hand to run away and be the big brother he used to be. He didn’t do any of that. 

Osamu just stood there silently and let you break his heart like he broke yours. 

“I’m glad I didn’t get that far.” 

He watched you leave his office, mouth dry and unable to speak, hands too numb to try and reach out— he was 17 then and Dazai never saw you again after that. 

Not until he was 20 years old, three years after finally leaving the mafia (it took a year after you left and Oda dying for him to finally break free) and one year of being in the Armed Detective Agency. 

It was a sunny spring day. There was a cool breeze blowing cherry blossoms around, butterflies were around every corner, flocking the blooming flowers. He remembers wondering if you were even still in Yokohama- if you were seeing what he saw whenever he walked outside. He hoped so; you'd always liked the spring. 

Beautiful day as it was, he and the rest of the Ada were holed up in their meeting room, discussing recent incidents around the city and watching the news for any potential jobs. Everything was pretty bland until…

“Hey, turn the volume up!” 

“Just this morning, a 19 year old was discovered dead in an abandoned shipyard port. Authorities say they were found with their throat slit and shirt ripped open with the words ‘you should have stayed’ written in blood. Due to their face being bruised and cut beyond recognition, we don’t yet have a positive ID, however this picture was found on the scene a few feet away from the body.”

Dazai already felt an uneasy sense of dread crawling up his throat before they showed the picture. 

And then it flashed on screen, showing you and Osamu- no more than 13-14 years old- with your cheeks pressed together and peace signs thrown up; you were smiling widely while he had his tongue sticking out. Blood was splattered across the photo, directly over your face; it was much too neat to be an accident. 

The walls felt like they were closing in. 

You should have stayed. 

Everyone turned to look at Dazai with expressions ranging from surprised, sympathetic, or horrified. 

You should have stayed. 

He didn’t see any of them, though, as he’d stumbled out of his chair and dropped down beside the trash can, dry heaving and retching and half sobbing. 

You

Should 

Have 

Stayed

Various pairs of hands were grabbing at him, pulling him off the floor and stabilizing his body so his legs didn’t give out. They were all talking- he could see their mouths moving and hear the muffled sounds of their voices, but he wasn’t listening. 

For a few moments, Osamu Dazai was concerningly quiet. 

And then he screamed, loud and shrill and broken and horrified.

It had been three years since he let you walk out of his life. Two years since he begged President Fukuzawa to help search for you. One year since becoming a better man than he was before. 

…It had been four years since he told you that your big brother loved you more than anything. 

He’d never get the chance to tell you again.

[selenacosmic]

May I request warlords had a big fight with MC until she cried, and now they have to comfort her because she is locking herself in a room and refused to come out. (She is sulking) What if they are married? Thank you!

Hello! Ohh this one will be sweet! Thank you for the request.

Warlords comfort MC after a big fight.

Oda forces.

Nobunaga Oda.

Nobunaga is the kind of person who, when faced with problems with his relationship and doesn’t know how to handle it, will call all the warlords for a war council to ask for advice. It wasn’t his intention to make you cry, but now it was too late since you wouldn’t come out of your room.

After taking in all the advice he receives, Nobunaga stays on the other side of the door to your room and begins apologizing, offering to share his favorite candy with you. He will keep doing it until you open the door.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

Hideyoshi doesn’t like fights, he tries his best to avoid them. Specially when they can lead you to cry. But on the occasion that it happens, he will try his best to spoil you until you aren’t upset anymore.

If you lock yourself away, he will be making constant visits to try and talk to you and leave a gift for you, all that until you open the door.

Mitsuhide Akechi.

Mitsuhide pays attention to not go overboard with fights, precisely because he doesn’t want to argue and hurt you. But if that happens, he will make sure you don’t even have time to lock yourself away.

The moment tears fall from your eyes, he will pull you into a hug and comfort you with sweet gestures.

Mitsunari Ishida.

Fights? What fights? Mitsunari is too sweet of a person to actually make anyone cry, even if a fight does happen.

Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Ieyasu can be… harsh with his words, and that’s something he tries to work on as to not upset you. If a fight does occur, he will flinch and freeze once he sees that you are crying.

He will calm down and apologize for his words, feeling guilty that he made you shed tears because of him.

Masamune Date.

Masamune will think a lot about how to ask for forgiveness, and after a lot of thought put into it, he will cook your favorite food to attract you out of the room. The moment you are out, lots of kisses and a tight hug awaits.

He will easily comfort you and melt all your anger away.

Ranmaru Mori.

Again, what fight? This another sweet guy can’t stand the thought of making you upset and wouldn’t start an argument, he wouldn’t want to see you crying.

Keiji.

Keiji is another one who doesn’t pay attention to how harsh he may sound until it’s too late, he will curse himself for hurting you and will think of ways to cheer you up.

The best way for him to apologize would be, ironically, being honest with you and tell you how he feels and that he didn’t want to make you upset.

Uesugi-Takeda alliance.

Kenshin Uesugi.

Kenshin would actually think of punishing himself, he is willing to destroy anything that may hurt you, that includes himself. Of course, after the others convince him to focus on making you feel better, he will do his best to comfort you.

Considering that he can be a bit… extra, kenshin will arrange many gifts and have all the bunnies surrounding you to give you comfort.

Shingen Takeda.

Shingen could never forgive himself for making you cry, he really was a full. For starters, he hates arguments and tries to avoid them. But when it happens, he thinks a lot on what to do to apologize and comfort you. Thousands of sweet words, kisses and apologies would come your ways

As well as him calling himself a fool for even making you cry.

Yukimura Sanada.

Yukimura will panic when he sees you crying, he didn’t mean to but it ended up happening. What will he do? He freaks out and tries desperately to calm you down and comfort you.

Of course, he was scolded by shingen and was given advice on how to apologize to you. Part of the advice he wouldn’t be able to pull it off, mostly because it was Shingen’s idea on how to apologize, but he still managed to be honest without saying something rude.

Yoshimoto Imagawa.

Yoshimoto is another who avoids fights at all costs, even if an argument is about to start. He is good with words, so if he ends up upsetting you, he will know how to comfort you immediately.

Sasuke.

Sasuke is a peaceful guy, he wouldn’t even start an argument. In fact, he is incapable of it.

Kanetsugu.

Kanetsugu can be… another rough and harsh man, so he makes a lot of effort in comforting you. He lowers his voice and holds you before you can lock yourself away in a separate room.

hi ava!! congrats on 300!! ♡

i love your event sm, i am a sucker for angst! how abt dazai + dialogue 8 :,)

shizukana wakare | osamu dazai x gn!reader

word count: 0.6k

content: no manga spoilers, angst

navi | bsd masterlist | event (closed)

you never completely understood him.

osamu dazai— an enigma of a man that always kept you on your toes. it was the mysterious air around him that lured you in. his coffee-brown eyes, lacking any semblance of light, guided you through the darkness. and though he led you through it, you knew you’d never escape.

you grew up in the shadows of yokohama. you stole food to get by and manipulated others to get what you needed. being alone starting from such a young age forced you to learn how to fend for yourself, even if the methods weren’t ethical.

no one else was there to teach you otherwise.

and even when you were recruited— no, forced into the port mafia, almost no one tried to change your ways. almost. there was someone. he was older than you by a couple of years and already in his 20s.

sakunosuke oda did not kill no matter the circumstances. he was a low-ranking port mafia member who was handed trifling missions. for someone in the port mafia, he was quite strange. and for an organization brimming with odd individuals, that was saying something.

he did not belong in the organization, that was easy to understand. oda deserved much more than to be in the port mafia.

oda was caring towards you. when he started to take care of a couple of children after the dragon head conflict, you were sure that it was just in his nature to try to take care of people like you, orphans who had no one else to guide them.

you knew he tried, that man. yet your soul, wallowing in despair, could only find solace in another who was in the same state. that person was dazai, the boy you met through oda.

he may bleed red, but the crimes he committed are enough to turn the blood running through his veins black. and maybe because the two of you were so similar, you couldn’t let dazai go. out of all the people you knew, he understood you the best.

and that’s why you couldn’t bear to see him leave.

you knew that growing attached to someone like him was a dangerous game, yet you couldn’t help yourself. loving dazai was a gamble of its own, and you could feel everything you bet on slipping away.

something else happened that day, the day oda died. you were hurt too, yet you knew there was another conflict within dazai’s mind. and whatever it was, you were scared of its effect. because now, a few days later, dazai was going to leave you too. you asked him to stay, but you knew all too well that it wasn’t going to happen.

“you can’t…” you held the fabric of his black jacket tightly. “i can’t live without you. please, please don’t leave me behind too.”

the alleyway was quiet, and you felt like the walls were beginning to close in. the air was slowly suffocating you as you awaited for dazai’s response, hands still tight on his jacket.

“i can’t stay in the port mafia anymore,” dazai said, his words cutting through the tension. his tone was colder than usual, you noticed. “i can’t stay, and you can’t leave. this… whatever this is, it isn’t meant to be.”

his words, short in numbers, were anything but lies. he was right, of course he was. you couldn’t imagine a life outside of the one you have now, and that’s why you couldn’t leave with him. a life of crime is all that you know, so you wouldn’t change even if you did leave with dazai.

“but even a cold-blooded killer can change,” you can hear oda’s voice ring in your ears.

you thought, ‘but not me’

your shoulders slumped in defeat, arms dropping to your sides. there was no point in holding dazai back anymore, not when he was willing to try to change. even if there was something special between the two of you, you weren’t enough for him to stay. the moments you spent in each other’s arms, or the late nights out in the city would never be enough.

you were ready to leave when dazai suddenly wrapped his long coat around your shoulders. you touched the fabric, looking up at him in surprise. although no words were spoken, you knew what he was telling you— a part of him will continue to be with you, even if he does leave.

and in the following moments as dazai walked away, the sky cried with you.

Thoughts on this idea I’ve seen people spout?

“Dazai has to treat Akutagawa the way he still does and he can’t make nice and give him approval because he promised Aku a reason to live and if he gave him that approval Aku wouldn’t have a reason to live anymore.”

It’s normally used to semi-excuse Dazai’s current behavior, but not totally since it’s normally preceded by a “I’m not justifying his behavior! But”

Well op, lemme tell you what I think about this take.

I think it's the biggest load of bullshit I've heard while in this fandom, and I've heard a lot. What does that even mean?? I don't even know where to start, to be honest.

Firstly, since when was that an acceptable reason of living to give to a 14 year old orphan? Since when did Dazai promise that the reason he'd give would be his own approval– more so, how fucking arrogant and conceited and disgusting would it be, to believe your approval is worth being someone's entire reason to live? If Dazai really thinks of it that way, it would be horrible and disturbing.

Secondly, if that is Dazai's true reason for his behavior, even a tiny bit, he still left. For four years he was gone. I don't remember if him faking his death is canon or not, but nonetheless, dead or missing, he was gone and had no plans to come back. How could he have been Akutagawa's reason to live then? I don't think that even featured as a thought in his mind at the time, so why would it now? Obviously Akutagawa can get by without him.

Thirdly, if Dazai gave a fuck about Akutagawa's emotional wellbeing, about his mental health and what's best for him, he would try to rip out Akutagawa's admiration of him from its roots. He'd be honest and say that at the time of their promise, Dazai hadn't had a reason to live himself. That there was actually no such thing, and that a reason to live should be whatever causes you not to kill yourself each morning. He would encourage Akutagawa to find his own meaning, in his own people, instead of withholding praise and affection and acknowledgment and all the positive feedback he so easily offers Atsushi.

Finally, I'll say this. The reason why this is, as I mentioned, the biggest load of bullshit ever, is because Dazai actually uses Akutagawa's admiration for him. Why would he get rid of it when it's so convenient? Season 5 showed us that. I will admit that Dazai probably is planning for Akutagawa's progress, and wants to help him grow. If that weren't true, he wouldn't partner him with Atsushi, he wouldn't be trying to cultivate a new Double Black, he wouldn't bother with him at all.

But that's not because he cares about Akutagawa personally. I am quite certain he doesn't even like Akutagawa. There are plenty of other reasons he could be doing this; because he wants to make up for the past, because Oda told him to save the orphans, because him and Atsushi are so compatible–

“Dazai has to treat Akutagawa the way he still does and–" Dazai has to do no such thing. Dazai has never manned up and faced his problems head on a day in his life. Man runs from his past and his issues and his feelings, so why would this be any different? He chose the easier option, which would be to keep Akutagawa tethered to him, and simply went with it.

That's all.

A stranger

TW : angst, sadness, physical touch, domestic abuse, bl00d, comfort, vi0lence, fluffy end <3333

You are single in this story and Shanks is just a stranger for you. (He has two arms because he's too smart to have lost his arm that way and Oda already said it was his editor who told him to tell that story.)

Any resemblance to actual facts is coincidental.

In a small island in the New World, where pirates dock to get supplies or enjoy the landscape. The crew of the Yonko, the most pacifist of all, also docked that day. Attracting its share of women from whom the Red'Hair crew took advantage.

You were going through a difficult time, you were getting along badly with your family who had mistreated you for years and you were forced to continue living there because you didn't have enough money to escape.

That evening, Shanks was extremely bored, he had his share of groupies in his life and it didn't really amuse him anymore. So he leaves his crew in the only bar on the island and goes out to explore it. As he walked along the main road, trying to ignore the looks of the few passers-by who were still outside at this time of night, he stopped in front of a souvenir stall.

He was focused in front of the stalls and was about to choose a few that he liked before even entering the store. When he feels someone bump into him, making him take a few steps back. With the violence of the shock, he fixes his vision to know if someone had just attacked him. Taking care to place his hand on the handle of his sword, in case he needed to use it. Instead, he's in front of you, you in tears, your eyes puffy, your arms in front of your eyes. His fury is replaced by worry. “Oh, excuse me, did I hurt you ? Show me ?” You wipe your eyes with your forearm and shake your head. “S-Sorry.. I wasn’t looking.. where I was walking.” He can't help but smile when you look down and notice that you've broken the souvenir trinkets he had just picked out. The porcelain was lying on the floor, you opened your eyes wide. “Oh shit.. Excuse me, I-I’ll pay it for you. I-I’m coming, I know the shopkeeper.” Shanks, very confused, waited patiently outside while you picked up the broken pieces. He sees you exchange a few words and pay for what you picked up from the ground. You go out and approach him “I saw with him. You can choose others like them and pay nothing. Sorry again for the interruption.” He looks at you, even more confused “Thank you.. But.. Wait.”

You do so, still sniffling and shaking. He chooses the same souvenir trinkets and then says to you “Isn’t there something you would like ?” You widen your eyes “N-No !!! It’s not up to you to-” He interrupts you, smiles at you “Come on, choose, everyone would find what they’re looking for here.” You shake your head, he seems a little disappointed but doesn't give up. “Okay, so you could help me choose, do you live here ? Something that would make me think of the beauty of this island. And these beautiful islanders.” You completely ignore what you think is an attempt at flirting and helping him choose, you owe him that. He thanks you and enters the store to pay, you follow him “N-No !!! You don’t have to pay anything !!!” He smiles and pays then hands you the souvenir trinket he had chosen for himself. You hesitate. “Since I’ve already caused you so much trouble, I can’t accept.” He pouts. “You owe me that, if I understand you.” You sigh and take what he gives you as the seller wraps it up for you. "Okay thank you so much.."

You leave the store and Shanks asks you “Do you mind showing me around ? I don’t have much time on my hands.” You look at him out of the corner of your eye “Okay.” He follows you while you show him the points of interest of the island, the view of the mountains, the beach, the coasts. You give him a little historical overview as a pseudo tourist guide. He thanks you and listens very attentively, even asking you questions. When it's time to go home, he finds you more and more sullen. You ask him “Why did you talk about the beauty of the islanders ?” He smiles and replies “I wasn’t talking about you.” Your ego takes a hit and you can’t help but reply “W-Wow, that’s violent, you’re right, I’m far from beautiful.” He stops walking, looks at you, crossing his arms, seeming shocked by your reaction. “You are right, you are not beautiful. You have absolutely nothing to do with the others, you are more incredible, magnificent, breathtaking.”

You look at him, disillusioned. “You’re lying.” He lets out a laugh “Why would I lie ?” You shake your head “I don’t know, I’m not in your head.” He laughs “You’re really funny on top of being so pretty. And nice." You can't help it, your eyes roll back. He laughs “You don’t seem to believe me..” You shrug your shoulders, he takes on a serious look. “Are you sure I didn’t hurt you earlier ?” You look at him furtively “No, it’s okay..” He crosses his arms “So why were you crying ? And why did you rush at me ?” You sigh. “It’s a long, boring story.” He smiled. “I have plenty of time.” You frown. “I thought you were in a hurry.” He raises his hands in the air “You got me. Hahaha. But I said that so as not to disturb you.”

You don't seem very convinced but explain it to him. He listens intently as you continue walking until you get back to the island. When you remember everything you have suffered, you burst into tears. He freezes, leans towards you “No, no, no.. Don’t cry.. It’s not worth it.” You can't stop, you're breaking his heart. He takes your hand and pulls you into a side alley. He notices a concrete block at the bottom, quite high so he pulls you down there.

“Can I speak to you informally ?”, you nod your head, still in tears. “Okay, can I touch you ?” You hesitate for a few moments then nod your head. He places his hands under your armpits and lifts you off the ground to sit on the block. He wipes your tears and spreads your legs slightly to let him hold you against him. He wraps his arms around you and places your head on his shoulder. “It’s okay, I’m here, I’ll listen to you, you can cry to relieve yourself. It’s nothing, it has to come out.” You hold onto his shoulders and cry some more, wetting his shirt. “It’s nothing honey, it’s nothing, I have a solution to offer you, if you want.” You calm down little by little as his body heat and the caresses of his hands on your back reassure you. He tries his best to bring you comfort and a feeling of security. He feels a sense of protection towards you, like a duty. He breathes in your scent which he finds captivating. “It’s okay sweetheart, listen to me now if you can.” You nod, pulling back slightly from his hold. He wipes your tears and asks you “You want to leave here but you can’t afford it ? Do you have a destination in mind ?” You shake your head “No, I just want to run away..” He tucks a strand of your hair behind your ear, almost automatically. He can see the pain in your eyes and it breaks his heart. He doesn't understand how such horrors could have been inflicted on you when you were the most adorable woman he had ever met. “Do you want to go with me ?” You look at him, a little surprised. “But.. Doesn’t that bother you ?..” He shakes his head, seriously. “You can ask me all the questions you want and I will never force you.” You take a few seconds to think. “But, I don’t even know what you do for a living or who you are.” He smiled “You don’t know who I am ? At all ?" You shake your head, very curious.

“I am a pirate.”

You look at him, disoriented “Are you killing people ? Are you stealing treasures ?” He laughs “Not at all, I don’t loot and the only times I killed was to protect the people I care about.” You shrug your shoulders, he says to you “But, I’m not just any pirate..” You look at him, still attentive and sniffing.

He inspires “I am one of the four emperors.”

You widen your eyes “An emperor ? Are you the ruler of a country ?” He shakes his head, laughing affectionately. “No, from part of the New World.” You seem to understand, he says to you “So I have a crew who are sobering up with women, on the island and a docked ship.” You look at him carefully and add “And.. a weapon..” He lowers his head to take a look at his sword. “Yes, to defend myself. I will never hurt you, I promise.” Despite the fact that you've only met him for three hours and he's just explained to you how powerful he is, you feel no fear. He tells you “By the way, I’m Shanks. Nice to meet you !! And you ?" You giggled “Y/N, nice to meet you !!”

You have total trust in him, your instinct tells you that you can let yourself go with him. You nod, he holds out his arms to you again, you hesitate then move forward, encircling him with your thighs to snuggle against him. He hugs you as tight as he can. “You’re like a koala… Although I’m not complaining.” You nod and hold him tighter. He caresses your curls “It’s okay now, you can trust me. I've got you. So, do you agree ?” You nod your head “Yes.. I agree, I’m coming with you.. But.. I don’t have a destination.” He smiled, feeling your heart pounding in your chest.

“You can stay forever, I don’t mind at all.”

After more than twenty minutes in his arms, you pull away from him a little. He looks at you carefully, cupping your chin in his hand. "Everything is fine now ?" You nod, he smiles and places you on the ground. He moves you to his side to hold your hand, where his sword isn't attached. He asks you to tell him where you live, you obey and he waits for you to go get your things, pack your suitcase and everything. You hand Shanks the bag of souvenir trinkets he bought you while you wait. “I’m waiting right here for you, angel. I won’t leave.” You realize how much impact these words have. You who never had anyone to count on, you finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

You walk into your home and what you feared begins.

Your parents insult you for coming home so late when other tasks would be waiting for you. Knowing full well that you did everything before going out. They treat you as less than nothing and a whole bunch of derogatory insults that you endure. Shanks hears everything from outside and feels rage coursing through his veins. He clenches his fists and controls himself so as not to come into your house too and threaten everyone. You ignore them and start packing your bag, you've never really been able to have what you want so you take almost nothing, nothing you don't want to keep. Your father, drunk, follows you to your room and insults you. Shanks tried to hold on until you came out, calmly, but he ended up knocking. As no one opens the door and he hears more and more insults and things being thrown over, he enters. He mentally apologizes to you, he finds the house in disrepair, glass is scattered everywhere and you look like you've been hit. His blood boils when he hears your father slap you.

He steps between the two of you and grabs your father by the throat, he glances at you and places you behind him. He yells at the rest of your family to go get an ice pack and some water, before he kills everyone here. Your family knows who Shanks is, unlike you who almost never goes out and isn't aware of what's going on in the world. Your mother rushes to get it and hands it to you in silence. You take the ice pack and place it on your already swollen and red cheek. Shanks presses your father's throat and speaks to him calmly but firmly. “You will apologize to your daughter and grovel at her feet to beg for forgiveness.” He releases him and your father gets on his knees and obeys. Shanks pulls you back, still behind him and holds your chin “Isn’t it too painful ? How do you feel ?" You nod slowly, he smiles at you “Excuse me doll, I’m really sorry for coming in.” You nod, Shanks focusing his attention back on the rest of your family.

“I’m taking her with me, you’ll never see her again. You don't deserve such a beautiful soul. You will all grovel at her feet and beg her forgiveness now. Or the walls of this house will be covered in the blood of all of you. Did I make myself understood correctly ?”

The tone is cold and authoritarian, everyone complies. You never thought you'd see this one day. The terror in their eyes, balances just a little bit, the terror that has been yours for years. Your father is kicked in the face, causing his eyebrow to open and bleed. Shanks spits on him “We don’t hit women, especially your daughter, the apple of your eye.” Shanks turns to you, walks you out the door and takes the small bag you prepared. You drink the water and throw the bottle away.

Once outside, a weight is lifted from your shoulders. He looks at you attentively “Let me see, take the ice off for a moment please, honey ?” You comply, he runs his thumb over your cheek gently but you wince so he stops immediately. "We're going back home ?" You nod, relieved to actually have a home. He bends down and lifts you off the ground to carry you in his arms. He places your head on his shoulder “Take a rest darling, you need to sleep.” You apologize “I’m really sorry for getting you involved.” He shakes his head “No, don’t say that. I should have come in much earlier.” It was pitch black and he easily found his way back to the dock. You doze on his shoulder and only really open your eyes when you go on deck. You say “Wow.. it’s gigantic..”, he smiles “Yes, after all, I’m not just any pirate.” He hears you reply, “I don’t like arrogant people, Shanks.” Hearing his name in your voice sends a shiver down his spine. He takes you to his quarters, enters the hallway. He puts you on the floor and asks you “Okay, then, you can either have a room to yourself. Either you can sleep in the dormitory with the crew. Either, you can sleep in the hold if it’s too hot. Either I leave you my room. It’s whatever you want, you choose.” You frown. “Aren’t there any women on your crew ?”, he shakes his head. You answer “Okay, then have my room.. please.” He smiles “Okay, beauty, I’ll take you, come here.”

You follow him and he opens the door to the room you are going to occupy. He turns on the night light, opens the window and lets you in. “Here’s the bed, I’ll get you some sheets and a pillow, you’ve got the bathroom right there. Nobody sleeps here. You can put your clothes here, in the wardrobe. My room and that of my right-hand man Benn are just down the hall. If you ever need anything, you can come and wake me or him up whenever you want. All right ?" You nod, thanking him, he leaves you alone. You put your clothes in the closet and go take a shower. When you come out in a towel, you come face to face with him, who was making your bed with clean sheets. You're not embarrassed in the least, he says to you "When you're finished, you call me, I'll prepare you something to eat, okay ?" You nod, thanking him but you look like you want something that you don't tell him.

He slowly walks over to you, holds your chin then places his thumb on your bottom lip gently. “Tell me, what you want to tell me, don’t be afraid.” You avoid his gaze “Like… I didn't take a lot of clothes and I don't have anything to wear..” He smiles, a smirk, you sigh, even if you secretly love his smile. He tells you “Okay, baby, I’ll lend you my clothes. Wait for me here." You nod and sit on your bed, completely clean and made up. He knocks on the door “Can I come in ?”, “Yes.” He opens and closes the door behind him. “Here, a shirt, on you, it will make a dress. And socks or sandals if you want.” You thank him and take everything then he goes out to give you your privacy. You get dressed, pants, your shirt which you button up then you put on light plastic sandals. You call him, handing him some tights, which you have to put on. He kneels, you remain standing, you hold his shoulders as he puts the stockings on you, touching your body, up to your thighs, inevitably. Making you blush, both you and him. You thank him then he leads you into the kitchen, sitting you down as he prepares you some food.

He treats your wound on your cheek in the meantime, while the rice is cooking and tells you jokes and details about himself to explain to you how the crew works and what's next. You both eat, then go to brush your teeth while he waits for you sitting on your bed. When you go out, he wishes you good night. “Tomorrow I will introduce you to the crew. They're idiots and charmers but you can trust them with your eyes closed. As much as me, okay ?” You nod, he covers you as you lie down in the bed. He kisses your hand and makes you drink painkiller with water for your cheek. He closes the door, winking at you.

You quickly fall asleep, reassured, until the next day, when Shanks introduces you to his crew. “She’s your teammate now. Treat her well and put her in a position to trust you all.”

Since then, you have remained a member of his crew but you have always only seen him as a Captain, just as he has always only seen you as a teammate. But you are finally happy to be alive and to have met him. You spend a lot of time together, exploring the islands while the crew gets drunk with women. You proved to be a better crew member than the rest, versatile and having trained very hard to be a pirate like them and earn your place.

Let's see if you end up getting into a relationship after a few months or years. I leave the ending hanging. Even if sleeping in the Captain's shirt on the first night is a sign that you probably ended up being together… Or that Shanks is a saint :).

okay also while we’re being really, really sad about Dark Era dazai, can i just also be really, really sad about mori??? like, he got the permit, but at what cost? we know by the time Dark Era happens, not only does mori say that dazai never visits him anymore, but he also thinks he’s going to kill him and take his place, EVEN THOUGH he’s already chosen dazai as his heir. and even then, he tries to keep dazai from going to help oda, because he literally cannot let this fall through. because there is no good reason for them to NOT sacrifice oda at the altar of security. because, imo, he doesn’t want to loose his heir and the boy—his mirror—that he’s been raising up to be his eventual replacement since probably close to day 1.

and still—AND STILL!!! he lets him go. he lets him try to save oda, even though it puts the permit at risk. it puts DAZAI at risk. he lets him defect, leaving a huge, gaping, bleeding, quite frankly deadly hole in the port mafia. and he never fills that hole. dazai’s spot is still there, his chair is unfilled, because mori hopes he’ll come back. the smartest thing for him to do would be to kill dazai, but that’s one line he can’t cross, because he wants to believe in him.

i really love the detail in the anime of him laughing hysterically when he gets the permit, because it does a good job of showing how messed up he is over all of this. like…he’s done it. permits are a big deal. the permit means security for not only the mafia, but all of yokohama by extension. but, in getting it, he’s irrevocably fucking one of the most important relationships of his life. he’s putting into motion the plan to let dazai go.

and like…dazai is unhappy and a liability! and he knows this! and still, he lets him go, because he has to. because the job demands it.

[st4rd0lly]

this is your fault, you made me greedy :(.

whats better then perv pathetic ex!dazai? perv pathetic ex!dazai who goes back to his pm ways when you start dating someone else :(. miss sera you cannot go to sleep tonight without elaborating on that last para fr.

i’ve been itching all day to answer this ask of course let me elaborate dear <3

perv!pathetic ex dazai whose blood runs cold the second he hears that you have a new partner. sure he promised oda that he would be the kind of person to help people, but that’s why he’s going to help you stay away from people who try to flirt with you !!! he might not be in the pm anymore but you sure as hell bet that he’s searching everything and anything he can on your little “partner”

he absolutely doesn’t buy it by the way, he’s so sure that it’s just an act to make him jealous. you wanna see him beg on his knees all pathetic? make him feel even more horrible for being so distant? fine by him, he wouldn’t mind any second of it if it meant that you would just stop fucking around with another person !!! when you reveal you have a new partner to everyone in the ADA, he’s surprisingly quiet and all of a sudden, his mopey attitude is gone

he seems to be back to his regular self. at least, that’s what most of you thought. his nightly break-ins don’t just stop at humping anything that reminds him of you, no not now. he’s too busy playing with his new toy <3 your poor little partner who’s getting all the backlash from this, he pins his little perverted escapades onto them and even more gross stuff !

he pushes them into a little corner where they can’t escape, with any and all gross evidence being pinned onto them and revealed to you !! he leaves the panties he’s stolen from you in their space, even leaving the aftermaths of his late sessions where he jerks off and cums all over them, even throwing your bra in there too, getting photos of you showering and changing. it hurts to give them away to someone who doesn’t deserve to see you naked but he tells himself it’ll all be worth it in the end

you’re absolutely disgusted of course when you see these, you haven’t even been dating your partner for that long and they’re sick in the head clearly, and the fact they’re denying it makes you more creeped out!!

you have no choice but to go back to dazai, to ask him for help, i mean you’re terrified out of your mind because this partner (now ex) just seems so damn creepy, practically a stalker who denies everything !! you’re too scared to go to the police and you’re sure dazai is the only person you can trust with this. so playing the role of a savior, he swoops in courageously to save you <3 he kisses your forehead so softly and brushes your tears away, telling you that of course he’ll take care of it. you forgot why you would even break up with him, you’re sure that you two can work things out now

and obviously you ex partner just so happens to show up on the news brutally murdered, but you can’t even feel a single trace of remorse, not after how creepy they were :( you’re back into dazai’s arms so easily <3

Random BSD Headcanons bc I have thoughts and don’t feel like sorting them

ALL SFW & NO TW/CWs

I’m probably not going to elaborate in this post but probably in another or let me know if there are specific ones you want me to elaborate on

I’m starting with my trans headcanons bc of a tiktok and it’s all that’s been on my mind

Transfem Sigma is great and I love it but I raise you

Intersex Sigma

Thank you @/skyj80 on tiktok for this one

Also from video: Transmasc Kunikida

He gives off strong he/they energy

You know who else gives off he/they energy?

POE

Also enby Ranpo

Specifically amab

Will probably elaborate on that one at some point

Also transfem Lucy and Kouyou

I LOVE TRANSFEM KOUYOU

ALSO TRANSMASC FUKUZAWA

GIVE ME MORE OLDER TRANS CHARACTERS PLEASE

Transmasc Chuuya has my heart

Also genderfluid Dazai

Wouldn’t give a fuck about pronouns

I know I said I wouldn’t elaborate but I have to for one part of this

It’s like kind of related but could also not be

Dazai in dresses but can’t wear heels for shit

He’s like a baby deer trying to walk

Y’all see how he’s built

Chuuya on the other hand

Walks like a fucking pro

Moving on

AUTISM

I have it so they must have it

Kunikida (obvi)

Ranpo and Poe (tism4tism but opposite parts of the spectrum)

Speaking of Ranpo

I think Fukuzawa is allistic OR undiagnosed

Super supportive tho and does tons of research and asking Ranpo questions and for his opinion on things

Akutagawa but he masks

Like this man masks so fucking hard

Def elaborating later

Speaking of masking

Dazai

Will also be elaborating

Oda

Probably won’t elaborate

Louisa. May. Alcott.

I cant think of any others rn but if I do they’ll be in an elaborated post

Moving on once again to just some general headcanons

Tecchou has ageusia aka loss of taste

You can’t tell me that man tastes the food combos he makes

Doesn’t explain the way he eats hard boiled eggs tho

Dazai has alexithymia

And chronic pain after Meursault

ALSO uses some sort of mobility aid and is really fucking stubborn about it

Chuuya has chronic pain from using corruption

Kunikida has chronic pain in his hands after getting them back

(psst. can you tell I have chronic pain?)

Fukuzawa acts like a dad to everyone but mainly in small ways

Hirotsu is like a dad to Black Lizard

MORI CAN SUCK MY FUCKING DICK THAT MAN IS NO FATHER FIGURE TO ANYONE

Fukuzawa feeds the local stray cats

They’ll follow him around parts of the city if he’s nearby

Dazai sometimes feeds the cats with him but they don’t tend to follow him

Kunikida helps with ADA budgeting

He also gives math lessons to Kenji & Kyouka

He’ll tutor anyone who needs help, mainly Atsushi

Speaking of Atsushi

I think he likes Pokémon

Please don’t ask me to elaborate for I simply cannot give an explanation of any sort

Ranpo has 2 snack drawers in his desk

One that anyone can take out of with his permission (mainly Kenji, Kyouka, Atsushi, & Yosano. Fukuzawa can as well he just doesn’t)

The second is for him and him only

Dazai knows a shit ton of languages bc he got bored one day and decided to learn

Going off of this, Chuuya knows French so Dazai never bothered to learn it & just had Chuuya translate if it ever came up

Kyouka loves Sanrio & has assigned everyone in the agency a character

She also has everyone’s crepe orders memorized

Dazai & Ranpo do puzzle races to see who can complete them the fastest

Dazai & Junichiro teach Kenji, Atsushi, & Kyouka their favorite video games

That’s all for now bc it’s like 2am and I can’t think of anymore rn. Tho I’ll probably post another one like this when I do think of more.

I will most likely elaborate on the autistic headcanons and fukudad but let me know if there are any others I should elaborate on!!

Pre-Timeskip Straw Hats Ranking:

1. Chopper - My baby. He’s like a little Ghibli character! I loved his design and he has such a good heart 🥹

2. Zoro - He’s so cool! I love how loyal he is and he always has the best fight scenes.

3. Luffy - Didn’t expect to like him this much, but here we are! God, he’s just such an interesting character. I really like characters with a strong moral compass/sense of their own justice, and Luffy fits that so well. Out of all the captains, I’d want him to be mine.

4. Sanji - He’s a little cringe (I am a woman), but he’s got really good scenes mixed in there! (Like that scene with Enel? Legendary).

5. Franky - TBH, he didn’t grow on me until Enies Lobby. But Franky is a homie! He’s SUPER!

6. Robin - Another character that took a bit to grow on me. I love how she just takes things in stride, it’s really funny. Her and Franky are my fave duo, so I love when they get scenes together!

7. Brook - I LOVE SKELETONS! I love his puns and his backstory made me cry. Minus points for the underwear thing, though

8. Nami - I like Nami! I wish she got a bit more control of the situations she gets thrown into (especially Thriller Bark, I felt so bad for her).

9. Usopp - I don’t hate Usopp, don’t get me wrong! He’s just kind of annoying. He’s the sniper of the crew, so it’s irritating that he rarely does any sniping. He also complains/is cowardly A LOT. I get that’s his character, but…

Time skip Ranking (I’m in Zou right now. Light spoilers for up until then?):

1. Luffy - My Number 3 pick overall! I love him so much, I can’t even. He’s really stepped it up! Something I really like about him is the slight changes in his personality after MarineFord. You can tell it effected him more than he lets on and I love that Oda is subtle about it. 10/10 protagonist!

2. Franky - SUPER!!! I just love him, he’s so fun! I may be a bit influenced because he’s my brother’s fave (we’re watching it together). Like Luffy, I love how positive and kind Franky is. I also love his power ups!! He’s so cool!!

3. Zoro - Still cool, haha. My opinion of him hasn’t changed much since before timeskip - he’s a really consistent, interesting character! I also love how he’s eager to fight, in a weird way. Nothing scares this man, it’s cool to see!

4. Usopp - Biggest jump on this list! But damn, I love Usopp now. He’s mellowed out a bit and takes a bit more of an active role on the crew! (Spoiler) He has Haki!!! I didn’t see that coming, but it’s by far the coolest Usopp moment yet!

5. Robin - As the sole introvert on a crew of extroverts, I love the dynamic she brings! Like I mentioned before, her “go with the flow” attitude is really unique and fun to see! I do wish they’d let her fight more, even though she has more of a supporting role.

6. Nami - Ever since Punk Hazard, I’ve come to realize the Nami is the heart of the crew. You can see how much she cares for everyone and wants the best for the people around her!

(I may start to sound mean from here on out, but I promise I like all the Straw Hats)

7. Sanji - SANJI STOP BEING CRINGE I SWEAR TO GOD. I know the Whole Cake is coming up soon, so I’m holding out for some major character development there. I just don’t like that women have taken over most of his screen time and that he holds resentment against Okamas. Like, not cool bro.

8. Chopper - He’s kind of been reduced to a mascot character. They never give him anything to do anymore (granted, he wasn’t in Dressrosa much so maybe I’ll be proved wrong). I don’t hate his new design, I just liked the other one better. And apparently he’s supposed to be 17??

9. Brook - Brook, for me, has filled the role Usopp had before timeskip. He’s always loud and being cowardly, it gets to be a little grating. He still has good moments, don’t get me wrong, but I wish he was a bit more like he was in Thriller Bark.

Bonus! Jinbe - Dad energy 👍 He was a real homie for Luffy on MarineFord, and I’m excited to see the dynamic he brings when he joins the crew!
