“spotify Stops Tracking Today So We Can Listen To Cringe!!” Free Yourself From This Mental Prison

Baby franziska moment. My angel

You had lots of scratches on you when we first met. I assumed you had a cat.

oh and that gap in my resume is when i was digging my own grave

Though it is an incredible time to be an Akutagawa fan at the moment, what with the recent chapters, never forget who was there for us in our darkest times:

Let's remember Beast and everything it gave us in trying times.

1) Oda taking Akutagawa in

2) Tanizaki and Akutagawa partnership

3) Kenji and his philosophy of "better parts" that helped Akutagawa grieve

4) A bunch of little siblings that look up to Akutagawa

5) Kunikida telling Akutagawa he isn't evil

6) Oda clocking Dazai about his treatment of Akutagawa

7) Dazai doing us all a favor and jumping off a roof

Everybody say "Thank you, Beast AU."

Thinking about this has me crying—

So, in Beast, Akutagawa grew up in the streets, right? Realistically, how literate would he even be? In the manga, his report was really simple, and he did talk to Astsushi about getting paper and books, but suppose that he couldn't read.

I imagine him learning that Kunikida is a teacher, and although he was a math teacher, Akutagawa goes to him and asks if he could teach Akutagawa to read properly, fully complete and complicated sentences.

Obviously, Kunikida thinks it's a great idea and will help, but seeing how focused Akutagawa is about it, he asks, "What brought this on?"

And Akutagawa is quiet for a moment, before he looks down, saying softly, "Oda-san is writing a book."

A belated birthday comic for the birthday boy! (Later in the day Dazai had a party with everyone at the ADA and had a good time :D)
