it’s sad that a lot of people truly don’t realize how incredibly hard it is for Dazai to make the choice to do things the way he does now in his new lifestyle, every single day. Healing and changing your way of doing things to heal is incredibly hard; it is an active choice you are making at every moment, fighting uphill, because it doesn’t come naturally like it does for anyone who hasn’t been through trauma and/or is dealing with mental illness. It’s hard, and so many days it’d be easier to just give up and revert back to old habits. But Dazai almost never has, even when constantly surrounded by toxic influences that remind him of his old life, and he is so incredibly strong for that.

#bungou stray dogs #meta #sorry I wasn’t done but didn’t want to add more to that post lmao #just ugh…… Dazai is so strong. he’s come so far. he should be commended for it #he tries so hard despite how much he’s struggling #and you won’t understand how that feels unless you’ve been in that position yourself #gone through the struggle to heal yourself #Oda should be commended too. my god the guy stuck to his ideals and the goodness he wanted to embrace for so long #despite still staying in that toxic environment that every day pressured him to give in #even Dazai wanted him to give in because he didn’t understand Oda’s motivations (but also out of concern for his safety)#and you can tell he was going downhill when you read Dark Era #even if the whole Mimic incident hadn’t happened he might have still broken eventually #and it’s so heartbreaking #but he tried so hard and fought so hard for so long. he didn’t win forever but he won for so long and there’s meaning in that #and now Dazai is trying so hard too #and he deserves every bit of respect and understanding and sympathy for it
