For anyone that loves analysing Dazai and Chuuya's relationship 🦕🦖
Words: 1.8k (short but dense fic)
Excerpt:
It's like Chuuya hopes Dazai's insides will grant him a final answer. A missing release. Cause a rupture, end the flood through thermodynamics—migration of liquid from high to low pressure. End the constant hunger for more, but Dazai was just another new cavity. Death after death. Loss after loss. Stale leftovers. Rotting.
----------------------------------------------------------
Eyy guy wrote a piece on the cyclical and contradictory nature of the balanced unbalance of Dazai and Chuuya's relationship.
About how Dazai remains a force in charge of influencing and orchestrating a situation even when physically subdued or absent, about the exchange of power between Chuuya and Dazai in their respective realms to each get what they need out of the other, without having to give up too much vulnerability (Dazai gives up physical power while remaining in charge psychologically, while Chuuya remains dominant physically as he sacrifices psychological autonomy).
Chuuya lets Dazai into his mind, Dazai let's Chuuya into his body, an unequal yet equal compromise.
I could (and probably will) write an entire essay about this...
