I wish to read more of Tanizaki and the likes of his ‘Diary of a Mad Old Man,’ as it is peculiar and disturbing.

Glad Fyodor's finally dead, everyone's alive and we can go back to solving cases and flirting fighting with the PM :D

Happy Birthday Kunikida! Love, the Agency

[whathorselegs]

Haven't been able to get these words out of my head. The fact they are the last thing he says. At first, I was just like "Okay, that's a very Kunikida thing to say" but then I put them into context of what just happened.

He'd been impaled and was desperately trying to use his last moments to allow Tanazaki time to escape. He knew he wasn't living after this, so as per his ideals he was going to fight until his last breath to save another life. If he can die in-service of helping someone else survive, that's enough for Kunikida.

And then he hears Atsushi shout his name. Atsushi ran up from behind Amenogozen, Kunikida probably saw him coming as well. He gripped the sword in his chest with the last of his strength to aid Atsushi in whatever way he could.

And Atsushi chose to save Tanizaki. The very thing he'd been trying to do just seconds before.

That why I think he'd smiling here, that's why I think he says his ideals will live on. Not in some abstract way, but in a direct reference to Atsushi, because he was Atsushi's mentor too. From day one, Atsushi has been seeking guidance from Kunikida, even when he didn't know how to give it.

One of the first pieces of advice Kunikida gives Atsushi is to "start thinking what you can do."

And it has been something he's been trying to figure out ever since. What can he do to help those who need it? To be worthy of living?

Both Atsushi and Kunikida want to save people. Both of them have been struggling on how to achieve that this whole time. Saving people isn't just a single action to Kunikida, it's sacrifice, it's taking on a burden, it's knowing you're tied to this person afterwards.

It's knowing you can't always save everyone no matter how much you want to. It's prioritizing saving who can and living with that.

Kunikida knew he couldn't be saved, but he hoped Tanizaki could. When Atsushi chose to leave him and save Tanizaki he following in Kunikida's footsteps.

His ideals will live on, in Atsushi.

My friend @whoishalf and I have been talking about a BSD AU with Dunmeshi and I've been sketching ideas for the races of my favorite ADA characters. In this AU they are a secondary organization to the Canaries but are famous for admitting members of different races into their organization.

In this AU (sigzai as one of the main ships) Dazai went to an unknown dungeon with the intention of looking for the edible and poisonous monsters to find a quick and effective death, on the way he found a snake creature named Sigma who is instantly interested in testing his poison, Sigma is pretty weirded out of the strange human that crossed his path.

On the other hand (Ranpoe obviously) Ranpo is part of the canaries but is more interested in reaching the bottom of the dungeons and revealing the mystery of their creation, he joins the party of his childhood friend Poe who is an academic magician Interested in studying the dark magics of the dungeons of the world, against his will Ranpo joins his little party and they have adventures, I guess. I hope to create more things for this silly AU

I do not expect any sort of relation to a character written by Tanizaki, but here I find myself, too, wishing for a pretty woman of whom possesses a strike of cruelty to her nature. But I do not pay any mind to whether she is homicidal nor a kleptomaniac.

SOBBINGGGGG

THIS IS JUST CRUEL NOW ASAGIRI

(head)canon that kunikida is the only one who carries a gun with him. headcanon its because kyouka isn't interested in killing. yosano thinks her giant knives are better. kenji is far too young. atsushi isn't trained. fukuzawa strictly uses his katana. and finally. dazai, tanizaki, and rampo are banned from guns because they would shoot anyone who inconveniences/annoys them.
