These people are trying to take over every aspect of our lives.
I really hope that this changes the way Atsushi see the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai in the future. Because in the past he had no context as to why Akutagawa was so fixated on getting Dazai’s approval and why he hated Atsushi so much. Because from his perspective before Akutagawa was some guy that Dazai knew in the mafia who was weirdly fixated on him.
But now he can actually see the similarities in how in their past and in how they were treated. I mean who else would understand Akutagawa hating his abuser, but also desperately needing their approval to keep on going more than Atsushi.
That isn’t to say that I want Atsushi to do a complete 180 and start to hate Dazai now, but I would like him to start to be more mindful of how Akutagawa feels. Tho to be fair I think if Atsushi finds out that Dazai was somewhat responsible for Akutagawa sacrificing himself on the boat, I would like him to have a strong reaction to that. Since as much as I like Dazai as a character, he’s been getting away with treating Akutagawa poorly for too long.
A hero without a cape
it is truly truly amazing to me how many people will flip on a dime when one of their friends or someone they like is accused of SA and they immediately, after swearing to stand by and believe victims, change their language to “if this is confirmed to be true” or “we don’t know enough” or “this seems like it’s wrong because the alleged perpetrator said it wasn’t true.” you can go ahead and fuck yourself. this neil gaiman and cody ko shit has reminded me how much some of you virtue signal when it’s convenient and then as soon as someone you don’t even know personally, but have a parasocial relationship with gets put in the hot seat it’s all “he wouldn’t do this” he’s famous man, yes he would.
I don’t think you’re ready to have an adult conversation about politics until you’re able to admit that there are things you love and enjoy that would not and should not exist in a just world. $8 billion dollar budget movies every other month don’t exist in a just world. New 900 GB AAA video games every year don’t exist in a just world. Next day delivery doesn’t exist in a just world. 80 different soda brands don’t exist in a just world.
All of those things come from exploitation on some level, and if you wouldn’t trade those for a world where everyone can eat and have a home no matter who they are or what they do, I don’t know what to tell you.
Democracy is when one insane billionaire gets to decide if an entire category of people get basic dignity and rights
On another note I’m so glad Germany won bc it’s more likely Rin will lose his mind like I wanted him to which I cannot wait for
On the other hand when things go too well for the protagonist for too long I worry a little and wonder when it’s going to crash down.
On the OTHER HAND when I think of the entire arc I remember how fucking awful things have been for him pretty much the whole arc so it might just be recency bias. Not only with Kaiser but Rin really shook things up and made it a special kind of hell for him. And Rin asked for this by being so obsessive abd misplacing his anger in Isagi and not mentally preparing for the very real possibility that Isagi would beat him. Can’t wait for that break down lol
Untouched points: Bachira has lost all his games and ChigirI and Nagi lost all their games, and they’re currently playing each other right now. The undefeated team just got confirmed so now we’re waiting on who is the team that never defeated anybody
Reasons for Bachira to loss: opportunity to grow, be the opposite of Isagi and make room for a plot point for them to meet in the middle (Isagi iron out some of his flaws/hold ups and Bachira grow), love story in the making I believe in them
Reasons for Nagi to lose: crash out divorce #3 backslide #2 dumpster fire arc that is inevitable whether he wins or loses but if he loses it’ll flow nicely; Nagi and Rin both being the main personal conflicts in the end makes the most sense to me as they’re both really tied to Isagi, this is the reality even though Isagi has never once directly done anything to them, so they’ll be responsible for figuring their own drama out, also possible Bachi is in on this drama somehow too, all tied to Isagi
Reason for Chigiri to lose: uhhh leg injury lurking in the corner, drama with Kunigami unaddressed and it’ll be interesting that one wins all their games and one loses all their games (dramatic love story dawg), Kaneshiro said he was gonna be an asshole somehow so this could open the way for that
Personally I want Nagi to lose but both options are good
I’m so glad Germany won lol
We already know Isagi and Sae are gonna team up so I’m assuming Isagi is gonna continue to indirectly ruin Rin’s life and this will lead to Sae and Rin figuring their shit out.
Doxxing myself for the sake of my doggo.
