Imagine you're Dazai and you're 15.
You've just met this kid(also 15), who is loud and annoying and won't do a single thing you tell him to. Not only has he got a ridiculously strong ability but he has crazy control over it and he can handle himself in a fight. He's the leader of gang. The Port Mafia views him as a serious threat.
And you're forming your opinions as you're being made to team up with this brash annoying kid who keeps trampling on all your good plans with his own ideas. Clearly, he's used to doing what he wants when he wants and it grates on you.
The sooner this is over the better.
But then, it's not all bad. You don't really get to hang out with kids your age. Or kids in general, most of the people you know are adults (who also happen to be criminals). As annoying as he is, it's fun messing with each other. You go to an arcade together and make a silly bet.
He places his stakes, so you have to think of your own. Obviously, you come up with an ingenious idea. If he loses, this kid who does whatever he wants, he has to be your dog for life. It's the kind of dumb bet kids your age would make, right? You've heard that before.
You'll make him carry about some stuff with his ability and lord it over him for a while and it will be funny.
Only then his friends- members of his gang, The Sheep- walk in and he hides from them. Because of you. You are, after all, from a rival gang. You call them over just to mess with him.
And you watch the kid you got to know start to shrink. All his noise goes quiet. All his confidence dissipates. That annoyingly loud kid you've gotten used to, the one who won't do as you say, who argued back all the time, just stands there as his so-called friends chip away at him. You watch as they treat him like-
Like a dog.
Haven't been on social media for so long that socialising became scary on here
How do people not fall in love with their friends???? You're telling me the person that cares about you, that comforted and helped you back up on your feet at your worst, that knows all your dirtiest secrets but still looks into your eyes as if it's the first day of getting to know each other, and you'd say NO if they asked you to marry them???
One thing I love about Kunikida and Dazai's dynamic is Kunikida's ability to still believe in him so much he still falls for his jokes. Like you know this has happened so many times yet still he dutifully will write down Dazai's suggestion in pen no less. But Dazai is also kind enough to not let him carry on with it too long.
Dazai taking a kid in for mentoring to the ADA during twilight and Dazai taking a kid in for mentoring to the PM during night… Why didn’t I notice this detail before?!
Dazai Osamu, “Waiting”
‘home’
I have never been on Tumblr before should I be scared???? Is there something to expect????
Dazai wants to bat Chuuya around like a cat, and Chuuya wants to grab Dazai with his teeth and shake is head like a dog.
Smarty lesson of the day
hi. this is a psa. chuuya's hat is a porkpie hat. not a fedora. there is a difference.

Dazai in pain brings me so much joy. "But 15 dazai looks like a black kitty" Idc get that thing under a hydraulic press.
