The first episode of bsd is actually so fitting, because it really sets the tone of the show. It goes from a ramble about food to suicide prevention to suicide enablezation to detectives to tigers to "no homo". And it's beautiful
Hc that when Chuuya grabbed Dazai's face during their first interaction it was because he wanted to get a better look at it because he's never seen the other half uncovered before.
The only acceptable way for bsd to end is with Atsushi standing over Fyoghurt with a knife, Epic the Musical Vengeance Saga style.
"You can't kill me."
"Exactly!"
*Cues angry stabbing while Dazai holds onto Fyoghurt to stop his ability from taking over Atsushi*
"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HELPLESS-"
The first time I heard that Asagiri said Dazai and Chuuya were the same soul in two bodies, I was a little confused. I mean, I love them too, but they're so different.
But now...
They both were forced to grow up too fast. They're both geniuses who can't relate to the world around them, yet at the same time, they both desire human connection. Both need to fight of nihilism, that feeling that life isn't worth it--even Chuuya, in Stormbringer, really struggled with the purpose of his own life. They both live for others and desire their connection, but the world doesn't let them have it.
And the loneliness.
The feeling of being a monster, a god of destruction. That they're bad, evil, inhuman. That they will never get they want, are forced to struggle for eternity, that there is no place in this world for two lonely demons like them who want nothing more than to be human...
Except for the arcade, where the two of them can just be teenaged boys for a moment. The same soul in two bodies reaching out for each other so they can be alone together.
Happy birthday, chuuya!🧡🎉
You know, after this arc, the detective agency is really going to have to kick up their marketing skills to get clients back.
So I've decided to make an ad to help start them off. Ehem:
*deep voice here* Do you have a problem too difficult for the police to handle? Cases you need solved, people you need to disappear? Problems with the Port Mafia who we definitely hate and do not like at all? Well, we're the people for you! Come to the Armed Detective Agency *insert picture of the Agency's mascot here* Members include:
~one dude that's actually armed
~one dude that's actually a detective
~a furry
~a super chill guy named Tanizaki. Just don't go near his sister, like, ever
~his sister
~a 14 year old farmboy who is either hungry or sleepy (can move mountains, confirmed)
~a 14 year old former assassin (she's changed now swearsies)
~a former mafioso/torture specialist. Moonlights as a suicide romantic
~a doctor who can heal all (fatal) wounds*
*if wound is not fatal, it must be made fatal for her to heal it
Does not include:
~anyone who gives a frick about the law
The Armed Detective Agency has taken on a great number of cases, and someone there has probably saved your life (or taken the life of one of your loved ones) at some point in time. Come show your appreciation! Led by, you guessed it, another former assassin, this group of fundamentally messed up individuals can solve your toughest cases!
PS we swear we're not terrorists.
....on second thought, this might not be such a good idea.
The interview part 1 with shin soukoku that you wrote? Please. Part 2. I'M ON MY KNEES PLEASE 😭😭😭 AHHAHSJSJSKAKAKAKKSKSJSJSJSJSJSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSN it's fucking ADDICTING I LOVE IT
I'm so happy you love it!
Sorry it took so long to respond, been kinda busy, but I just posted part two! Hope you enjoy :)
55 minutes art??? I call that a win.
I love this so much. The thieves were one of my favorite parts of the light novel, especially Atsushi's interactions with them, it's a shame they probably won't come up ever again.
For those who haven't, read 55 minutes! It's awesome!
got a bit of a friendgroup going
some physical descriptions down below that i based my designs on (since Virgo and Nemo don't have canon designs)
Chuuya (mostly) being a law-abiding citizen despite the convenience of his ability and his motorcycle until the situation calls for it The idea that at any time an emergency strikes wherever they are at any given time, Chuuya will just start scaling buildings himself or with his motorcycle so he's not inconvenienced by traffic and red lights while the ability-less are stuck waiting in traffic and forced to watch Chuuya blitzing by on the buildings Chuuya waiting in traffic when an emergency strikes and he floats himself and his bike out of traffic to take a shortcut and everyone just. watches. He's enjoying the breeze on his face as he's riding the buildings, shouting 'Yeah' the entire time
I love how for the last few chapters, I saw so many posts that were confused, annoyed, bored, and just generally frustrated with the direction the series was taking, claiming that it was getting repetitive, and then this chapter came around and now everyone is like "YES YES THIS IS WHY IT'S MY FAVORITE SERIES THIS IS AMAZING THIS IS A MASTERPIECE I NEVER DOUBTED YOU FOR A SECOND ASAGIRI, YOU LITTLE GENIUS—"
Dazai, when he's first introduced: Yeah i wanna kms but I don't want to burden anyone.
Dazai, the rest of the series: fails to khs and burdens anything with a pulse.
