Do you ever think about how the event that led people to start calling Dazai and Chuuya Soukoku was an act of grief?
Their partnership started at 15, but the mafia immortalized it after the Dragon's Head Conflict by dubbing them Soukoku.
The most fearsome duo in all of Yokohama.
Soukoku, a name meant to remind everyone, enemies and allies alike of the destructive force of they're capable of. Of the mafia's victory during the Dragon's Head Conflict.
Of the same night, the very moment, Chuuya learned he lost his friends again.
Chuuya wasn't there to bring the mafia victory or destroy buildings, he was there to save his friends. That's all he wanted, to get the people he cared about home, safe.
Instead he had more people ripped from him. He activated corruption in a state of grief and it's so different from the corruption we see in the main manga.
Chuuya's rage feels cold and calculated when he's fighting Lovecraft and then afterwards, he starts laughing manically. Dead Apple Chuuya's corruption feels so raw and pained.
Especially when we see Dazai nullify it.
He never stopped screaming, when the marks are gone and corruption's nullified, he's still screaming. You can't tell me that's not a tear in the second panel, it's shaped and shaded differently to the debris.
Chuuya told Dazai not to stop him and we assume he meant not to stop him using corruption, but what if he meant "Don't stop me, at all." What if he was so overcome with grief that, in that moment, he was okay with corruption burning through him completely. What if he didn't mean that but it's what Dazai heard? And that's why he's so gentle with Chuuya afterwards, because for a second, Chuuya sounded too much like himself.
Do you think there was a time where Chuuya couldn't stand the name Soukoku, not because it associated him with Dazai but because it immortalized the night he failed to save his friends again?
Do you think Dazai watched Chuuya just that little more closely afterwards, afraid to hear something like "Don't stop me." again?
Does hearing the name Soukoku sometimes bring back awful memories for them when other people say it with awe?
Higuchi: I sleep with a gun under my pillow. Gin: I sleep with a knife. Dazai: You two are pathetic. Gin: Oh, yeah? What do you sleep with? Dazai: Chuuya
I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov
This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.
This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

I bet he’d blame it on Chuuya’s ability too, knowing full damn well Chuuya cant even use his ability when he’s holding him.
Headcanon that no matter how hard he tries Dazai cannot for the life of him pick up Chuuya
He is simply too twig
Chuuya however, can pick up Dazai with ease and takes it to his full advantage
bsd fans look so funny out of context. like what do you mean your favourite twink is Edgar Allen Poe.
#together in every universe just in different fonts
Chuuya’s brief appearance in beast is so funny. He just kind of reads as “guy who is definitely sleeping with his boss. This is not plot relevant whatsoever.” to the point it’s like… why is he even here?
Dazai: Wow, Chuuya, you want to hold my hand before marriage? How awfully lewd of you. Chuuya: We literally slept together yesterday. Dazai: That's NOTHING compared to the lewdness of holding hands.
Guys I think we all need a moment to appreciate how the characters spoke in the early BSD mangas.
Kunikida’s sass is unparalleled and I need you all to realize this.
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.
Mori finally bans toys from all mafia meetings after Dazai and Chuuya got bored at a very important negotiation and initiated a water gun fight with each other. Bringing game consoles was already pushing it, but the water guns were the last straw.
This backfires however, when at the next meeting they both attend, Dazai once again gets bored and just pulls out an actual gun and starts shooting at Chuuya. Who catches the bullets with his ability and proceeds to pelt Dazai with them in return.
they/them (I am a minor!!) Welcome to my personal blog where I mostly yap about BSD right now… I also like writing, world building, and media analysis tho!
