Ok But The Implication That Fyodor Inherits The Personality Traits Of The People Who Kill Him Is Extremely

I SWEAR TO HELL, SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT FYODOR’S DEAL IS RIGHT NOW. I AM ON MY KNEES. WHY IS HE LIKE THIS.

Okay but we could take this further: a whole AU where everyone’s powers are reversed in some way or another.

A Dazai whose ability actually causes others’ abilities to activate when he touches them. (Forever Human)

An Oda whose ability lets him see seconds into the past rather than the future. (Flawed)

A Yosano whose ability kills perfectly healthy people instead of healing those near death. (Thou Shalt Perish)

A Kenji who is strong naturally but his ability makes him become weak but happy. (Defeated by the Sun)

A Fukuzawa whose ability makes the abilities of those in ranks above him near impossible to control. (No Men Are Equal)

A Chuuya whose gravity manipulation is limited only to putting extreme gravity on things he touches, and instead of corruption he gets purification, which actually restores him and limits his gravity ability, allowing him to use it how he would under normal circumstances. (Upon the Holly Smile)

A Bram who isn’t a vampire and can cure vampires instead of creating them. (Vampiris’nt)

A Fyodor who ACTUALLY FUCKING DIES.

Bsd except Atsushi is a reverse Weretiger aka he is a tiger that can transform into a human.

The Orphanage still ended up with him but treated him like a beast, only letting him out on the full moon.

But human Atsushi is rather unhinged and doesn't human well so feral tiger boy it is.

He's not a rampaging tiger, hes a weirdly very behaved random tiger all things considered. But he's still freaking people out and he's a menace on either form.

Atsushi can hold his human form better with All Men Are Equals. But Dazai will boop him and bam giant white tiger that bonks him on the head.

Akutagawa is just screaming insults at a very bewildered and than pissed off tiger. He's roaring and Akutugawa is screaming and they come to a werid agreement.

Atsushi is still a member of the Agency, tiger or human. He's got a lil badge and everything. Dazai is just like nah its cool guys this is our office tiger.

Cut to him getting bonked on the head, again.

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.

Okay enough is enough.

Dazai fell first and fell hard. He fell through a building.

Chuuya fell after, but he always fell gently cause Dazai always caught him before he hit the ground.

Lucy is such a fun character and I respect her immensely

No one is out here doing it like Lucy is.

people who hate on Lucy because she “gets in the way of sskk” consider this your warning, better sleep with one eye open cause I’m gonna gnaw at your toes

If we as a fandom are going to yap endlessly about Chuuya, can we at least acknowledge the fact that when this man uses corruption he moves around like a literal cryptid goblin thing?

Why he jump like that?

What are you, a skinwalker?

It’s worse in the manga y’all.

Yea no, this is spooky behavior.

I love headcanons as a concept because it is so silly to me that a person can look at some random character and just decide something about them.

You don’t even need evidence to back it up most of the time. It’s just vibes.

And everyone has their own little headcanons that we can trade around like Pokémon.

It’s especially great when a headcanon becomes so popular it’s basically accepted as canon.

Recently I’ve been going back through BSD to do some analysis and I was thinking about Atsushi as the tiger, and what the tiger symbolizes.

I think the tiger is a good allegory for Atsushi’s views on himself as a person. And hear me out:

At the start of the story, Atsushi fears the tiger, but he also seems to hold some spite towards it due to it being the cause of him getting kicked out of the orphanage.

But then we learn that Atsushi is the tiger, and Atsushi himself feels terrible about it. There is suddenly no separation between himself and the tiger in his mind. They are one and the same, and he is just as responsible for everything as the tiger is. He hates the tiger, he doesn’t trust it, and he doesn’t understand it.

And he is the tiger.

It’s kinda common knowledge that Atsushi hates himself, nor does he trust himself, and that is reflected in the fact that the tiger is shown to be an uncontrollable, bloodthirsty creature. It does nothing good for anyone; just as Atsushi thinks he himself does nothing good or useful for anyone.

I’d also like to mention the fact that during chapter/episode one (1), when Atsushi is revealed as the tiger, Dazai is the one to stop it with his ability, and I think that’s an excellent little nod to how it is through Dazai (and by extension the rest of the ADA) that Atsushi is able to begin to trust himself more, and have more value in himself as a person.

Of course later on, Atsushi does make peace with the tiger, and it’s such a powerful moment because it’s not just Atsushi reconciling with the tiger, it’s Atsushi reconciling with himself as well. And I think it shows his growth as a character just fantastically.

I’m open to hearing the thoughts of others as well of course :]
