top 10 moments before disaster (dazai is about to step on his toes)
Red rope of fate
I was cooking on twitter today
Canon typical Dazai simpage
*kicks feet* uhuh yes, it’s a time loop fic *giggles* oh yes, yes, it’s horrid. Absolutely sick. *twirls cup of coffee* of course it can only end badly, who do tou take me for?
Ok adding onto another person's post about Akemi/Taigen's relationship trapping Akemi into this traditionally hyperfemine position of being Taigen's "prize" for his advancements of his stature; I also personally think it goes the opposite way as well.
Taigen would NEVER have a shot with Akemi if he didn't accumulate this stature and wealth, and his hypermasculine role of a samurai being a symbol of protector of his people (and wife).
For a man to be "worthy" of love in the times day and age, he must be a physically apt protector and provider, as well as hold a high title for his family to live with respect and honor. This is also destructive of his autonomy and worth as a person as much as Akemi's destruction of personhood being a wife. Taigen's worth his measured by his body's ability, just in this case enduring battles instead of sex.
But with Mizu, Taigen holds absolutely 0 worth to them as a protector or a provider. Hes a fucking joke of a dueling opponent to them, even the times he's attempted to serve them physically were thwarted, there is 0 transaction he could possibly make that would be worth anything to Mizu's cause. He tries!!! Time and time again!!! To near SUICIDE ("put my body over yours, theres no sense in both of us dying") attempting to secure his worth as a man, as a protector. The exploration of the horrendous world of patriarchy is explored through Taigen as much as Akemi.
Any worth or affection Mizu holds for Taigen is equally as purely intentioned, untainted by a power or role dynamic. Mizu frees Taigen from the high standards of being a worthy man/husband by the society's standards. Mizu spares and saves him countless times, and just because of his existence, not his service or stature.

Hello, my name is Muhammad Eid, a father of three children from Gaza. Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart, filled with both grief and hope, after my family and I endured an unimaginable tragedy during the ongoing war that has ravaged our city for nearly a year.
On a day that will forever be etched in my memory, our lives were shattered by an airstrike that took away everything we held dear. I lost my beloved daughter, Mais, who was the light of our lives, and I also lost my dear mother, my brother, and his entire family. The bombing didn’t spare anyone; it erased them from the civil registry as if they had never existed.
Our home, a four-story building that held all our memories and dreams, was reduced to rubble. My wife Maysaa, our two surviving children, Osama and Fouad, and I miraculously escaped with our lives, but we were left with severe injuries that required extensive hospital treatment.
I lost my beloved daughter, Mais
I lost my dear mother
I lost my brother, and his entire family
Our home, a four-story building where I lost my loved ones…
We have lost so much in this war, and now we find ourselves displaced and homeless, wandering without a place to call our own. We have also lost our jobs and everything we owned. In these dire circumstances, I am reaching out to you, hoping for your support in helping us rebuild our lives and restore some semblance of normalcy.
Our main goal is to raise €35,000 to help us:
Secure Apartment:Â The home we lost was worth far more than our campaign goal, but we hope to reach this target to secure a good apartment where my family and I can live.
Survival:Â Your contributions will help us meet our daily living needs, including food, water, and rent.
Treatment for Fouad:Â We need to treat my son, who has fractures in his pelvis and requires physical therapy.
Additional Expenses:Â We need for emergencies and unforeseen additional expenses.
" If the conflict persists and conditions deteriorate further, evacuating from Gaza could become a necessary step."
We are pleading for your help to make this dream a reality. Every donation, even as small as €5, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. Please, help us start over.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.
If you have any questions, you can contact us via Facebook: Contact us on Facebook
With deepest gratitude, Muhammad Eid
