The last bit of summer in the middle of autumn.
I was thinking about it last night, how some people say Chuuya is a second choice, and I can see why but honestly Chuuya reeks of being a sacrifice to me. Everytime, he gives up something he wants, including himself, for the greater good โ or what Mori deems the greater good for the Port Mafia, or Yokohama.
He knows, he will never see that part of himself again after losing his friends โ or better yet, family. Constantly, Chuuya sacrifices a piece of himself in various events, with the Flags, to The Sheep; all costs him his sense of belonging. And where do you belong, when you're a sacrifice? Are you even human?
As soon as he gets comfortable with others, he begins to lose them. He's chosen to do it all, because he's the best option for it. Who is the best option to destroy yourself other than you?
'Corruption' begins to make sense even more because it's a corruption of not only his humanity but his trust too, his ability to believe these bonds will ever get to age.
I think that's another reason why being with the Port Mafia works for Chuuya, is because all his sacrifices amount to something in a way. It gives him a place to belong.

Literary Stray Letters
Hello! I always thought the sea was Romantic in Winter and Summer, but I wonder about Autumn?
This is the second short story of Lotte's collection, however I also feel this is my weakest, but I hope you enjoy it.^^
Literary Stray Letters
Hello! Looking forward to Autumn leaves falling?
This series/collection is dedicated to the literary pieces that contribute to my characters. This month, it's for Lotte! There are three short stories for her, which are all set during the 1930s-1940s in Ghana.
The Intrusion of Ignorance
The Lover's Robe
The Gullible & The Guilty.
My only expectation going into the new chp was that it was going to get worse... and oh boy did it.
beast spoilers just in case
something iโve been thinking about is dazaiโs bandages during his time in the pm vs beast dazai
iโve seen people talk about how dazaiโs right eye is covered in the pm, sort of symbolizing how heโs shut off his emotions during that period of his life.
meanwhile, in beast, the bandages cover the opposite eye. thinking about it, this does represent his motivations during the course of beastโdazaiโs actions can be perceived as purely emotional by the end.
after all, dazai wanted to preserve a world where oda was able to carry out his dream of becoming a writer, even at the expense of his own life. through beast, we get to see a somewhat more emotional dazai, even if outwardly he still tries to suppress these feelings
tbh iโm struggling to fully put into words the incoherent thoughts in my brain but im hoping the bsd fans of tumblr can pick up on the brain waves im transmitting telepathically through this post ykyk
Well then, reader, let us meet again, if we live. Let us keep our spirits up. Do not despair. Goodbye.
Dazai Osamu, Tsugaru
*Note: These are the closing words of the novel.
Say, for example, if a character were to have a story attached to them, would you want that to be uploaded alongside the main plot?
As in, the story from which the ability comes from, alongside the main story?

โEverything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell.ย Everything passes.โ

I will try to update the story as frequently as I can. I hope you guys love it as much as I loved creating it <3
Remember when we thought he was okay
๐ค: The second and last part to Lotte's slideshow/Infoshow! โจI personally loved designing this part of her. Usually, my characters are quite extroverted, but she's an introvert-leaning ambivert, so it made me think about her hobbies and thought process better.
๐ค: I've enjoyed making the slideshow, really. I think Lotte is the one I've worked hard on, and I'm excited to draw her and write for her! (โ โงโ โฝโ โฆโ )
This is part 1 out of 2 for the slideshow! โจ
Next Friday's one will probably be characteristics, such as personality n' stuff!!
No because it literally wouldn't make sense, am I right?? Right?? ๐ญ
Plus I don't think it narratively makes sense, I think Asagiri is showing the uhh uhh night to dawn affect? Where the darkest moment happens before dawn? What dawn is?? I have no clue ๐ญ I'm guessing Ranpoe have something going on with Poe's ability, like a book that can mimic a page writing? Or projecting it onto a global level?? To somehow change the narrative??
I DIGRESS. THAT MAN LIVES. He's probably going to tell Atsushi all about his prison time when they get back to the agency DJDJD

I don't care what y'all say Dazai is not dead and no I am not considering the fact that denial is the first in the five stages of greif
Lotte Williams, Bungo Stray Dogs OC. Inspired by Kofi Awoonor's prose.
I'm currently planning a fic with her, so I'm having fun with that.

6.22.23 - Dazai Sketches
Monday was Dazai's birthday, but I only managed to make a collage for him. Now that I think on it, making fanart isn't as scary as I thought :)
Do the scans look okay??
I looked into it this morning and Midnight Blue truly fits Dazai!
When Dazai was in the port mafia ('a limited spectra') he appeared black morally, and in terms of color, a bringer of death and highly intelligent. But when Odasaku displayed a more realistic gaze on him, due to Odasaku being an as-it-is person, we discover he was just trying to get close the the human nature, and see if it would give him a will to live.
Midnight Blue is composed of black and blue, the black gives it it's dark shade. In the eye of "sunlight" otherwise referenced to as the ADA, we can see the brighter aspects of him.
I think that's what Odasaku saw in him too, his blueness.

All of their names are on the left side, with their corresponding color on the right side.
