the spam version with less art and more complaining o7

[askchuuyanakahara]

Dazai... Chuuya likes you, you're good pals, you've known each other for so long. Stop worrying and just act normal.

(I wasn't bullying Dazai earlier I have no idea what you're talking about. I was always this nice.)

Dazai: "But I'm not worried."

Chuuya: "I did have to deal with a LOT today.."

Dazai: "..right."

Chuuya: "Huh? Ah- yeah, I should have some spares.."

Chuuya: "You've always been picky about where to sleep and I don't particularly want to sleep on the couch either.."

Chuuya: "We haven't shared a bed since we were kids, though."

Chuuya: "Huh?"

Dazai: "Hah..?"

Dazai through other people's eyes

Inspired by @originalaccountname's post about Atsushi's vision of Dazai being warped.

These are all panels where Dazai either appears as a memory or hallucination for different people. Probably not all of them, but a small collection I literally just gathered in the last hour.

----

Atsushi

I think it's interesting just how lifeless this hallucinated version of Dazai is. He doesn't smile, he doesn't joke. It really does just feel like Dazai's face placed over Atsushi's conscience to guide him forward.

Akutagawa

Scraggly little guy. There's mystery behind his eyes, he knows something you don't. Has never seen a hair brush in his life. Akutagawa's vision of Dazai always looks like he's the one in control and he knows it. But also, he looks so young.

Chuuya

This ones admittedly a little different because the 1st panel is from the fifteen manga BUT I'm counting it because I love the visual and it makes an interesting contrast to how Chuuya saw Dazai when they were both teens, to how he remembers him now. One a mastermind demon, the other a lost looking boy surrounded by demons.

Ango

Bratty, criminal child. Someone who needed to be saved. The handcuff representing Dazai as someone trapped by his past and Ango trying to pay penance by saving him from it. He envisions the boy he was, because his betrayal meant he never got to know the man Dazai became.

Ranpo

Happiest little guy out there! Considering how much Dazai says he admires Ranpo, it's not surprising that when Ranpo envisions the agency he sees Dazai smiling at him. This is the Dazai Ranpo wanted to protect, the smile and joy he never wanted to lose.

IT'S DONE This was actually one of the very first ideas I wanted to draw for skk, because (as someone rightly pointed out in the tags) they are just so in synchro when they work together, I can't help but think that would translate for dancing as well

[rainiiisspamming]

I'm crying they're SO stupid

[shrimpkini]

FINALLY! A real comic about my skk kitty soulmate au (try saying that 10 times fast)

For this au they meet as children. I’d like to think when they were kids Dazai was more obvious about his crush. Later on though, immaturity leads to Dazai picking on Chuuya instead of communicating his feelings properly

[i-eat-mold]

Part one (?) of this idea I talked about a while ago on this post and that won’t leave my mind. Dazais episodes. It’s 4:30am and jahssjwj

Read from left to right!!

[heartless-curr]

i want to talk about the moment that both made me fall in love with atsushi nakajima as a character, and which made me realize that I was probably going to get obsessed with BSD.

specifically, it was this moment.

words can not describe how important this moment was to me, and how vital this is to both atsushi as a character and his relationship with dazai as a whole.

as someone who is currently living with my abusive parents, this was something that resonated with me a lot — oftentimes, media when attempting to portray abuse (specifically parental abuse) and victims of abuse, does 1 out of 2 things:

1. Tries to justify the abuse and protect the parents — having the kids be okay with the treatment they recieved.

2. Has the kids utterly despise their parents with no shred of good feelings.

And whilst, sure, both of these can happen — and I'm sure there are victims who actually feel like this — it's not the most common response.

Speaking from my own experience — I don't know how to feel about my parents. If they died, I wouldn't know what face to make. I hate them more than anyone else, but at the same time, I grew up with them. I hate them, but I also love them. If they died, I don't know how I'd feel about it. And we get to see Atsushi having that exact breakdown — the elation over the person you hate dying, versus the grief and frustration and confusion. Abuse isn't simple, and feelings aren't simply — your abuser dying isn't something that's clean cut, it comes with a million different conflicting confusing emotions.

And the fact that Atsushi is allowed to have these feelings, is allowed to hate the headmaster, is allowed to grieve without forgiveness, is so important. BSD doesn't try to justify his abuse — it's okay to mourn someone that hurt you even if you don't like them. Their death — or their intentions — don't make forgiveness a necessity.

And even moreso, the fact that he gets explicitly told that regardless of the fact that that abuse was what molded him into the person he is today and has helped him survive, and the fact that the headmaster had good intentions, it was bad and unforgivable, is extremely important.

dazai not forcing atsushi to feel a certain way about his abuser, and encouraging him to mourn without forgiveness and to actually feel, is an incredibly important moment — i doubt that i'm only speaking for myself here when i say that when dealing with these subject matters, these are the types of things we'd like to hear.

the fact that dazai is the character telling atsushi this isn't lost on me, either — considering that earlier on this chapter, he sent ryuunosuke to tell atsushi about the headmaster, and they had this interaction:

everything about this is so fascinating and well written — from atsushi having an extremely realistic breakdown over the death of his abuser, to dazai telling him that he has zero obligation for forgiveness — and the implications that he's aware that what he's done to ryuunosuke is wrong regardless of intentions, is fascinating.

to me, atsushi nakajima has always felt human in a way most protagonists don't — his trauma impacts him, he has complex messy feelings that can't be easily resolved. it's his choice what to do with his emotions, and all others can do is give advice, and let him figure out how to deal with them.

atsushi nakajima crying over the man who simultaneously raised him and made his life a living hell is accurate in a way that almost hurts.

(slightly unrelated, but i sure was accurate with this prediction from a month ago, huh!)

Hey tumblr, I'm a solo game developer. very queer. My game Quantum Witch is a point-n-click meets platformer, with multiple endings and meaningful choices, where a town of lesbians fight god. You know, a typical queer Tuesday.

And I finally got it on steam! Maybe you want to wishlist (witchlist) it?

for those interested in the letter from which the above is excerpted:

[kaurwreck]

For whatever it's worth, Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud were famously and publicly lovers. You can still relate this to friendship, but they were tumultuous, intense lovers, and the letters from Rimbaud to Verlaine are reconstructed from the remnants that Verlaine's wife burned after Verlaine returned from his stint in prison for charges related to both shooting Rimbaud and having sex with Rimbaud.

This isn't speculation. There is both secondary and primary documentation that Rimbaud identified as a bottom.

The Savage Experiment: Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, Jeffrey Meyers

It is generally agreed that “Délires I” is a commentary on Rimbaud’s relationship with Verlaine; it takes the form of a religious confession in which the speaker is the “Vierge folle” (Foolish Virgin), a thinly disguised image of Verlaine, who reflects on “her” stormy affair with the “Epoux infernal” (Infernal Bridegroom), Rimbaud. As well as being another irreverent parody of a religious source, this confession is a highly original form of self-presentation on Rimbaud’s part as he sees himself through the refracted and selective memory of a confederate. The Vierge folle registers her failure to understand the complexities of her Infernal Companion, a blend of compassion and cruelty, innocence and malice, and ideological power and near insanity. This is a love affair in which the older partner is in thrall to the paradoxes and enigmas of the younger one; the relationship is characterized as a messiah leading a disciple, offering new ideas and experiences and then abandoning the weaker partner just when the Vierge is least emotionally prepared for the separation. All of these elements can be linked to the stages in the unfolding relationship between Rimbaud and Verlaine in 1872-1873, but the text is more significant for what it reveals about Rimbaud’s defiance of the norm (“Jamais je ne travaillerai” [I will never work]); his compassion for underdogs such as drunks, children, and outcasts; his ideological fervor (“Je n’aime pas les femmes. L’amour est à réinventer” [I don’t like women. Love must be redefined]); and his need to escape from reality.

Not only did they have a relationship, they made it everyone else's problem too—

[anticidic]

You know how Dazai infiltrated the Port Mafia with this masterful disguise that absolutely would never fool anyone but still did:

Makes me wonder how long he could go pretending to be undercover while walking around the Port Mafia until someone figured it out. Since it's been a few years since he defected from the organization and we don't ever truly know the turnover rate for lower-ranking agents, it's possible a lot don't know who Dazai is or at least what he looks like (obviously except for the executives and others who were around during Dazai's time in there).

Because I can imagine him bumping into Hirotsu, and he has to do a double-take to make sure it was Dazai he was actually seeing and that he wasn't imagining it, but also that Dazai just has the audacity to go walking around like that while he was wanted for being a traitor. Hirotsu doesn't process it until Dazai's already long gone, then he bumps into Chuuya, and Chuuya's wondering what the spooked looks is on Hirotsu's face and they have the most normal conversation ever:

Hirotsu: I...Think I just walked by Dazai-kun.

Chuuya: Excuse me? You what?

Then the reports come in about some unknown bandaged dude wandering around who looks totally out-of-place not wearing a black suit like the rest of the Port Mafia, but Dazai's already left the building.

soukoku stage play collection!!

such cuties

[rainiiisspamming]

What about chapstick dazai. His lips are all dry because he keeps forgetting to hydrate. He has this little peach flavored lip balm stick the ADA got for him. He actually uses it but it's not really efficient because he keeps licking it off because it tastes good. WHAT THEN???

MAGNUS SKK THE BRAIN IS ROTTING WAIT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD ACTUALLY BUT WHO'S ASSISTANT???? WHO'S HEAD ARCHIVIST??? WHO'S AVATAR OF WHAT IM CRYING

A lot of Magnus and Bungou spoilers ahead btw, if you're a TMA fan finding this watch Bungou Stray Dogs and if you're a BSD fan listen to The Magnus Archives BOTH ARE AMAZING.

Note: the spoilers are much heavier if you haven't listened to TMA. Seriously, I'm spoiling the entire story to the end of Season 5. For BSD it's more about backstories than anything else.

BUT LIKE OKAY. Dazai could definitely be an avatar of the End because of his philosophy and way to think about life and its point, but I also think Lonely would fit him (being separated from humanity literally the point of No Longer Human's main character, who he's based off of), and obviously the Eye because of how clever and planning he is. Honestly, Head Archivist could either be Dazai or Fyodor because of their big brains, it would make sense for them to be Eye avatars. Due to obvious favouritism, I'll say Dazai would be Head Archivist.

Then we have Chuuya the beloved!! I feel like the obvious answer would be a Desolation avatar because of his Corruption form, but I feel like Lonely also suits him because of everyone dying? So he's either Desolation (most likely one), or Lonely. Probably an archival assistant, maybe the only one who lives like Martin?

If Dazai and Chuuya are in the same organisation, it would make sense to put the rest of the PM with them, so we obviously have Mori's cunning ass as Elias/Jonah Magnus/Eye avatar (note: the original Jonah Magnus could be a more evil version of Natsume).

Using the PM cast means that two other archival assistant could be the Akutagawas, who are definitely the Slaughter. For extra angst, only one could become an actual avatar, or they could both make one avatar and have a domain together by S5.

Atsushi is obviously the Hunt, being a weretiger and all. I don't know if he'd be a full on avatar, but it would make sense by the end of the story! He'd probably join much later, in a situation similar than the one we currently have with one employee from the ADA having to transfer back to the PM by the end of the current arc.

Considering the fact that Archive employees can't leave, it would make sense that Yosano would still be part of them, since she could never leave like she did in og BSD. I feel like she'd have an arc similar to Melanie's, and maybe end up stabbing her own eyes to leave as well.

Last archival assistant could be Kunikida? This one doesn't really make sense in terms of storyline, but leaving Chuuya alone with all the insane people in there feels a bit unfair, so they will be the order boys (poor Kunikida having to bear both skk AND sskk's presence, poor guy).

As for other characters, we have:

Fyodor's manipulative ass as avatar of the Web,

Oda who died to the Slaughter avatar Gide (fun!),

Fukuzawa and Ranpo (and potentially Minoura?) as external cops,

The other two Black Lizards as friends of Gin's from Artifact Storage,

Verlaine as the avatar of The Desolation who marked Chuuya (and killed all his friends, yay!),

Kyu as avatar of The Stranger,

Ango & co. in a special division that helps against manifestations/avatars of the Entities.

If anyone is somehow in both fandoms at the same time, please come brainrot with me AGH

[ohhcinnybuns]

Everything about SKK is questionable, tbh

I have proof

I know the Halloween picture is just Chuuya holding his cheek, but with Dazai behind him, it looks like he's hugging Chuuya and cradling his cheek. I can't unsee it. It messes with my brain.

Anyway, yeah, I should have made this into a powerpoint.

[unicornpopcorn14]

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have real correlation to either nervousness or worry. One that can be chalked to insane behavior, even.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was of course hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple weird patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is actually familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his weird quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.
