augh i love the humanity themes w bsd but ive been thinking recently about yosano's ability and mori's exploitation of it in war as insight into fyodor because GOD. to take death away from humanity is to deprive them of the human right to die. the soldiers yosano was working with losing their minds, moving her place as angel from something like worship to this seething hatred. because by refusing them death, she has taken their very humanity from them
and with fyodor, who CANT die. who is killed and replaces his killer over and over and over for CENTURIES, his humanity is long gone. like almost everyone in bsd, hes searching for companionship - an equal. but he wont find one, because his humanity died a very very long time ago and he has abandoned any genuine path to get it back. like verlaine, he believes he can only find an equal in someone as inhuman as he is, but in both cases theyre Wrong about the person theyre seeking it from.

Please oh great citizens of tumblr.com, bestow upon me your BSD headcanons
This is an emergency actually
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 have a three (3) month cat called Soba and he is a menace. He has opinions about everything he must make known to me at all times and he complains when he cannot properly sprawl out on top of me. He also really likes digging and burrowing for some reason?
He is my idiot son and I love him
desperately need to know about peoples’ pets. please tell me about your pets.
Don’t be like Ranpo, kids.
Guys beware the “what’s stopping me,” attitude.
It’s all productivity and progress until you’re suddenly a busy person who has 20 obligations, 15 personal projects, schoolwork, a job and a cat.
Everyone. Do you realize what this boy is begging for? Do you even fathom the weight of what he just asked?
This is the same boy who declared the lengths he'd go to in order to live wholeheartedly.
And now he's begging to die. Just to save his friends. The only people he can call family. Without even an ounce of hesitation.
The devastation in his eyes. The desperation in his voice. I can't take it anymore-
For some reason seeing art of characters I like just happily eating some yummy food always makes me want to cry
I just-I just want another soul to see the chaos that is me and my partner’s texts.
Also one from me and my best friend:
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.
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!
