Question for all Mic stans and kinnies listeners and banana dreamers out there!!!!
Why
I think one of the funniest parallels in Stormbringer has to be the way Dazai and Chuuya... used one another as an excuse to cling onto life/humanity. It happens in similar settings too!
We have Dazai, who's presented with the most perfect death imaginable: a way to die quickly and painlessly. But then Mori, the mentor figure who forced himself into that role in Dazai's life, says:
"Your perfect death will end up as double suicide with you and Chuuya." And that's enough to make him turn around and act serious LMAO by the mention of death with Chuuya, or maybe even just Chuuya dying, this boy suddenly wanted to live (as if Chuuya wasn't the reason he found interest in life at Fifteen... I see what you're doing, Asagiri)
Then we have Chuuya, who's been backed into a corner. He could easily snap Professor N's neck to get back at him for... everything. And we have Verlaine, the mentor figure currently forcing himself into that narrative, pushing Chuuya to descend to that same hatred. But then Chuuya says:
"I'd never think the same way Dazai does."
Bro no one's mentioned Dazai in this context, why is he in your head, why's he in your little speech about holding on to your humanity?
Stupid.
Here's how 'let's start a new party, you and me' will be in the fourth episode
I love how in BSD every au and fanfic that someone makes could be true.
Person A came up with a pirate au, cool let's write it into the Book and see if Odasaku lives in this one or if Dazai decides to stop being a pirate and go join some other sea faring crew instead. Magic and Mystery? Sure why not? The aus where Dazai and Chuuya got to UA? That too.
There is a book that can create countless alternate realities, which means that any of them and every of fic technically has the chance to be true in one of them.
