Chuuya did in fact have a big ass sword.
(head)canon that kunikida is the only one who carries a gun with him. headcanon its because kyouka isn't interested in killing. yosano thinks her giant knives are better. kenji is far too young. atsushi isn't trained. fukuzawa strictly uses his katana. and finally. dazai, tanizaki, and rampo are banned from guns because they would shoot anyone who inconveniences/annoys them.
I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the relationship between Verlaine and Chuuya. There's a lot of argument over whether they're biologically brothers or not. That's not the point. The point is how they came into the world and their unnatural birth. Or, at least, how Verlaine perceives it. He sees both him and Chuuya as artificial beings that will never be human no matter how hard they may try, so they may as well stop trying to fit in with these disgusting humans and just find solace in each other. He calls Chuuya his brother because he feels like he's the only one who can truly understand what he's going through. Their "brothership" stems from their shared existence as artificial beings. This is why Chuuya rejects it so violently at first. He doesn't want to be anything like the man who slaughtered his friends. He wants to be human.
Then, throughout the book, Chuuya comes to accept that however he came into this world, naturally or otherwise, he chooses to be human, and that's what it's important. His actions are what make him human. Verlaine learns this, too, but it's already far too late. He, too, had the chance to be human, but he was too focused on the possibility of being inhuman instead of actually trying to be a good person or to accept the care and support of his friend, Rimbaud, and now, he's gone. That is the tragedy of his story. He always had the opportunity to be human, but he threw it away for the sake of anger and hatred.
Only when they have both learned this lesson that Chuuya accepts Verlaine as his brother. Not because they're biologically related or anything, but because they do have this shared experience with one another, and he's here for him. Not because he forgives him for what he did. But because he has an opportunity to be better.
I love stormbringer. It's so good. Anyone reading this who hasn't read it, READ IT!! IF YOU LIKE CHUUYA AT ALL, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HIS CHARACTER!
ART IS MADE TO BE EATEN, ITS CALLED CONSUMING FOR A REASON
Reincarnation perhaps? :0
it is really this serious like
😭😭😭
A ship dynamic between the type of person who loves obsessively, and one who longs only for the idea of love.
A, who loves with their entire being. Once they latch onto someone, they want to become their everything and be their everything in turn. They crave it, they need it, and they feel incomplete without it.
B, who longs desperately to love, laments their lack of love even, who takes any and all love offered to them with a smile, but also who can never quite find themself reciprocating love with the same intensity of A.
Neither will be ever satisfied.
A will inevitably wear B out to the point they can no longer act out the concept of love. And in B leaving, A will be destroyed.
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
