do non-bsd fans understand the sheer manwhorism dazai has going on. can one even imagine such a thing without witnessing it firsthand
“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
I feel like Chuuya would have a blast Formula 1 racing
chuuya collects ppl in his heart and never lets them go, but he tells them to their faces that they suck
My favorite thing about him is how hard he finds open affection with people. Like he was so stilted with the Flags, he wants to personally waterboard Dazai 90% of the time and looks at Shirase like he wants to hit him with a pan sometimes but he genuinely loves these guys.
You know, I do like Higuchi as a BSD character.
But sometimes I can’t help but wonder why she’s in the position she’s in. Being in the Mafia is clearly not up her alley. Especially in relation to being any sort of bodyguard to Akutagawa. (It’s not that she lacks combat skill, it’s simply that Akutagawa far surpasses her in that area. Almost everyone in the Black Lizard does.)
But after reading beast and giving it some thought, my personal headcanon has become that she does all the…NOT killing stuff.
She’s basically secretary and manager.
Shes the one who delivers Akutagawa his missions when Mori himself can’t. She’s the one who handles much of the paperwork for the Black Lizard. She’s the one who brings morale and helps keep the group members from killing each other (even if sometimes that leads to her becoming their metaphorical punching bag.)
I dunno, the Black Lizard just seems kind of chaotic to me. You cannot convince me they would be able to keep it together if they didn’t have someone keeping them in line somewhat.
Sure they have Hirotsu, but his hold really only extends to Gin and Tachihara. And honestly, the fact that Hirotsu is there at all tells me all I need to know.
No because as a writer/artist and someone who consumes media with the intention of actually paying attention and looking into the characters themes, etc, things like this are incredibly annoying and only poison the well.
I often wonder if things like this are contributing to the slow dying of media literacy, and the more I hear about it, the more I believe that they do.
Art, in any form, is not supposed to be for mindless consumption. To make a creative work with that intention is to strip it of one of the things that make art so important to humanity.
i love akutagawa because he literally just pulls up. talks like all he reads are 18th century limericks. displays clear signs of mental illness. serves cunt. dies. gets resurrected. serves cunt again. no one is doing it like he is
Not that anyone cares, but once on a Friday evening I passed the fuck out so hard I left my sushi out before I could eat it.
I had a dream and at the end of it I ended up on this little island in the middle of the ocean. It had a little palm tree on it and everything.
On the island was a man standing, waiting, with this grin on his face. Just a slightly amused, ‘there you are’ grin.
And y’know what this mother fucker told me?
“I’ve got a message for you, it’s time to wake up.”
AND THEN I WOKE UP?
AND I REALIZED I HAD LEFT MY SUSHI OUT.
Someone please. Please tell me who that man was I am BEGGING.
And then he tumbled to the floor....hehe
Yeah, so fast sketch
