Update: I Know It’s To Indicate HOW They Are Speaking. Like The Tone. Because It Changes.

Dead apple but everyone is still in their pajamas

I think it would be funny if everyone collectively just didnt care to change in to their work clothes for the plot of dead apple cause imagine Chuuya fighting that big ass dragon still in his dog themed pajama pants 🐶

They’re so cheeky

Dazai’s Past (Discussion)

TW again for talks of suicide and suicidal ideation

The fact that we know next to nothing about Dazai’s life before he was found by Mori after a suicide attempt apart from he was wandering the streets aimlessly by himself is a little unnerving.

Because Dazai was already really fucked up before joining the PM. He was already actively suicidal.

What, that was so horrific, made him chronically suicidal?

None of the other characters react this way even though all the shit they go through, apart from maybe Akutagawa. But even at that, Akutagawa isn’t chronically suicidal in the same way Dazai is. He has expressed a lack of will to live (like when he first met Dazai) but isn’t going out of his way to attempt to kill himself like Dazai does.

Chuuya is arguably one of the most tragic characters right now that we know of, and he also isn’t chronically suicidal like Dazai. And man has had it rough.

This isn’t to say that something inherently had to or did happen to Dazai to make him this way. Maybe it’s just something he’s unfortunate enough to just have and it doesn’t necessarily have an exact cause.

But then the quote:

“Anything I would never want to lose is always lost. It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it. There’s nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.”

This implies that something did happen.

So, what was it?

I haven’t finished the LNs yet so take this with grace. And let me know of anything that might allude or contradict this.

Kokobot is my only friend on here </3

This implies that there was a specific number of times he was supposed to get punched.

Very Kunikida-esque behaviour.

Chuuya’s outfit makes me think so many thoughts. (Not that way, you dirty bastards.)

First of all. The way the colours slowly get darker with each layer, signifying that underneath it all, he’s got a pure heart. Good intent. But tries to keep it hidden, probably for self preservation reasons.

The neck cross shows how guarded he is.

The collar is to show his loyalty, just like a dog…

The gloves, while also having a physical purpose, symbolise his need to separate himself with the blood on his hands. It barely ever reaches his hands so he tells himself it’s alright.

And the hat, definitely for height purposes. I don’t have another reason for the hat, but google says possibly for status. If so, it’s probably another self preservation attempt.

Thinking aloud here;

This isn’t me saying you shouldn’t ship soukoku (or literally any other ship) because idc do what you want. There’s nothing wrong with shipping.

But I think everyone should forget about the romantics and just acknowledge the bond characters like Dazai and Chuuya have, without boiling it down to romantic (or sexual) attraction to one another.

Just for yourself to think about.

Regardless of what anyone else’s opinion is.

I just find that aspect kind of beautiful in itself.

And I think more people should recognise that as well.

ALSO:

I’m claiming the beauty mark to be true because I have one on the opposite eye.

Their hair is the same shape btw
