Writing A Chapter For A Fic You Haven't Touched In Like A Year Feels A Lot Like Reviving The Dead. Like

this is silly and petty but

while I'm thinking about it and I haven't seen anyone talk about it in a while, I can get this off my chest: this scene here

Dazai is not blushing. That is an illusion created by a combination of bruise marks and the way the bsd anime does lighting.

We can see the bruise lines on his chin and cheek in other scenes, before and after:

You can also note the orange glow in the top right corner that shows up in all 3 shots. I'm pretty sure it's an orange overlay layer, meaning the red bruises and his skin will be more saturated and more red.

I'm going to ruin watching the anime for you and reveal that they do this in nearly every scene with different colours, according to the light source:

(things you pay attention to when you end up editing a goose in screenshots)

Note that I'm not raining on your headcanon parade, just that claiming he's canonically blushing is inaccurate. Go wild in your own little world I have no say on that matter.

I'm sure it's already been pointed out before, but I love the fact that when Chuuya is 'fighting' Yosano and Kenji his arms are down the entire time. They might not be in his pockets, but not once in the entire exchange does he raise his fists to them.

Because he's not there to fight them, he's there to deliver a message. Now, they challenged him to a fight, so he's not going to turn it down but he's also very clearly toying with them here.

And he's so unserious about it all. Hanging upside down on the ceiling and twirling about just to irritate them. Then as soon as Fukuzawa starts talking to him, he's all smiles and pleasantries again because this fight was nothing to him, just a bit of playful back and forth before he completes his objective.

But then you get to the cannibalism arc, where Mori's life is on the line and Ranpo not only has the audacity to challenge him alone, but to also call out his losses to Dazai.

His coat flares up revealing his hands and he goes straight in for a punch.

It's a good job Ranpo had an ace up his sleeve (or in this case, a book under his cloak) because Chuuya went in for the kill here. Exactly like he did with Lovecraft.

when my kindergarten teacher would tell us about a rhombus she was very insistent on the fact that a diamond and a rhombus were two very different things and I thought that was the stupidest thing in the world but I didn't say anything and to this day I've never seen it used again
