this is so niche but maybe there are about 2 people in the world that would appreciate this crossover of my two obsessions: tma and bsd
gertrude robinson and agnes montague are giving soukoku
do you see the vision? no? don’t worry i’ll elaborate
(spoilers i guess for both)
gertrude robinson is so obviously dazai it hurts
in tma gertrude is THE character and in bsd tha would be dazai. they are both the most powerful characters in a way and the ones that are dealing the cards
a lot of the time dazai just kinda *knows* things and the theory is that it is linked to his ability and the existence of multiple realities, whether that’s true or not it is kinda similar to how beholding works
dazai’s nullification ability and gertrude’s life mission to stop the rituals, idk there’s a parallel here. there’s also the fact that gertrude made sure most entities cannot affect her and dazai’s ability protects him from other ability users
they are both ruthless in their pursuit of their goals, and their attitude towards other people is the same, they are not above manipulating and using others to achieve results
both pretty lonely people, even if they can work with others, no one really knows them or their plans
gertrude’s relationship with jonah and dazai’s relationship with mori, not one to one of course but come on
oh and gertrude’s apparent incompetence which turns out to be actually on purpose and *very important* in saving the world and dazai’s seemingly nonsensical actions that then turn out to be crucial elements of his big plan that he had from the very beginning
i would die on that hill, gertrude robinson IS dazai osamu, just less suicidal thoughts and more explosives. and definitely dazai would smash it as the archivist while gertrude would smash it at whatever it is that’s going on in bsd these days
now agnes montague and chuuya nakahara (i’ll admit this one is not as perfect but still)
this one is easy but let’s get this out of the way, both are ginger
agnes being created by the cult as the embodiment of desolation, and chuuya being made into a walking singularity, both of them being created by others as some sort of experiments, stripped of their agency
arahabaki, god of calamity, embodiment of destruction -> desolation, unthinking and cruel destruction
and then we have *the bond*, the only thing that’s stopping agnes from completing the ritual of destruction is gertrude, while the only thing that prevents chuuya from destroying everything around him including himself is dazai
it just writes itself man
