THIS.

At this point the only way Chuuya can get Dazai to actually acknowledge the ex part is if he manages to get that man to sign divorce papers.

Dazai will not sign them. Obviously.

I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.

'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.

Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?

Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.

It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.

BSD college au without powers where everything is normal until Akutagawa orders a coat from a sketchy internet store and it comes with rashomon

Reincarnation perhaps? :0

it is really this serious like

😭😭😭

Why is god flirting with Kunikida.

ASAGIRI. TELL US HOW JOUNO BECAME BLIND AND MY LIFE IS YOURS.

"Dazai is obsessed". "No, chuuya is obsessed".

They are both freakishly possessive and embarrassingly obsessed and I dont think this fandom takes advantage of that canon fact like they should.

You know what we need more of in BSD?

Sibling dynamic Ranpo and Kyouka.

It’s right there, Asagiri and Bones literally handed it to us but we hardly ever talk about ittt

Haven't been able to get these words out of my head. The fact they are the last thing he says. At first, I was just like "Okay, that's a very Kunikida thing to say" but then I put them into context of what just happened.

He'd been impaled and was desperately trying to use his last moments to allow Tanazaki time to escape. He knew he wasn't living after this, so as per his ideals he was going to fight until his last breath to save another life. If he can die in-service of helping someone else survive, that's enough for Kunikida.

And then he hears Atsushi shout his name. Atsushi ran up from behind Amenogozen, Kunikida probably saw him coming as well. He gripped the sword in his chest with the last of his strength to aid Atsushi in whatever way he could.

And Atsushi chose to save Tanizaki. The very thing he'd been trying to do just seconds before.

That why I think he'd smiling here, that's why I think he says his ideals will live on. Not in some abstract way, but in a direct reference to Atsushi, because he was Atsushi's mentor too. From day one, Atsushi has been seeking guidance from Kunikida, even when he didn't know how to give it.

One of the first pieces of advice Kunikida gives Atsushi is to "start thinking what you can do."

And it has been something he's been trying to figure out ever since. What can he do to help those who need it? To be worthy of living?

Both Atsushi and Kunikida want to save people. Both of them have been struggling on how to achieve that this whole time. Saving people isn't just a single action to Kunikida, it's sacrifice, it's taking on a burden, it's knowing you're tied to this person afterwards.

It's knowing you can't always save everyone no matter how much you want to. It's prioritizing saving who can and living with that.

Kunikida knew he couldn't be saved, but he hoped Tanizaki could. When Atsushi chose to leave him and save Tanizaki he following in Kunikida's footsteps.

His ideals will live on, in Atsushi.

It was emotional/psychological abuse and manipulation but not physical or sexual abuse. The problem with this fandom is that they think abuse has to be physical or sexual to be harmful and traumatizing enough and that psychological abuse isn't as impactful compared to the latter. Which is a problem, it is also leads to painful mischaracterization of Mori, making him a lot more crueler and morally black than he is which is unfortunate.

I think the problem with Mori becomes that people tend to generalize him as this ultimate evil abuser. So they make him a sexual predator and a torture technician on top of his manipulative behaviour who got a kick out of hurting and maiming kids and justified it with a higher purpose/search for knowledge *cough*Shibusawa&N*cough*.

However Mori isn't some ultimate evil abuser. He is an extremely complicated character and not once is it actually mentioned or even implied that he is sexually attracted to children. However, Mori was infact physically abusive towards Yosano, less in the sense of beating her but rather using physical force to intimidate her.

He isn't a good person. But he also wasnt going around smacking kids across the room like some mustache twirling puppy kicking supervillain.
