happy dazai day everyone ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
it's posting day! art for @\thecorvidprince's fic I'll Give You the World on a Silver Platter,
done as part of @skkbigbang-2023 :) go check out the fic it's very very fun
can we talk about Dazai desperately trying to pull from his tragically limited will to live, trying to hand Oda all the tricks he tried to develop for himself to find a reason to stay alive like everyone else seems to have, all because seeing someone he cares about give up on living was too hard?
Can we talk about how it shows that despite his grim outlook on life, Dazai still wants to try to figure it out, because there has to be something he's missing, he just needs to look harder, and can Oda come with him to search for it, they will figure it out together?
Can we talk about how Oda gave up, but didn't want Dazai to follow suit, so he gave Dazai his own tricks he developed for himself to find meaning in his life: help people, take care of those who need it most, be good, then at least the world won't appear so grim.
They were friends, they recognized each other's darkness as their own, and both tried (clumsily, a bit insensitively) to give the other the tools to get out of that darkness. Dazai wasn't equipped to help a man whose darkness came from violence, but Oda had somewhat made the leap from bad to good before it all came crashing down, so he tried to hand that knowledge to his friend, to give him something different, before his death took that last opportunity from him.
"can we pretend like it's the first time?" im gonna be sick
the game of who needs who the worst.
obligatory fyozai "the kiss" redraw (with a twist)

Do you think the jellyfish have a home?
not a request, but have you seen those videos of wringing ferrets out after a bath? i like to compare them with kunikida fetching dazai out of a river for the nth time that week

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!
The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”
Switching between these every day
