I hate yes/no questions. Let me elaborate,so the question 'not hungry?' Can be responded with A. Yes,I'm not hungry. B. No,I'm not hungry. Like?????
Natsume being pretty is so very canon, and I love that
I need people to remember that bsd is NOT a shonen it's a seinen, it's not black and white or good and evil. Shonens are simple arts that delivers things straightforwardly but seinen puts things in a way that make you stew on it to realise what they were conveying.
The characters aren't 100% good or 100% evil, Dazai? Even though he's TRYING to be good he still resorts to blackmail and torture as shown in the main series and the 55 novel.
Atsushi as well, he's not just an innocent cinnamon roll, he killed Shibusawa and basically went "he deserved it tho" when he remembered. Oh, and remember his fight with Akutagawa on the cargo ship? He punched him in to a burning, drowning ship with no regard to whether Akutagawa died or not.
Another one I always see is Mori and boy do the fic writers love to make him an evil villain that LoVes making others suffer purely for entertainment, like no, he did not make Oda go on a suicide mission to hurt Dazai, he did it because it was the most optimal solution. But There are other better analysis on that so I won't dig into it.
Every character has their own childhoods, trauma and personalities.
Heck, the Organisations as wholes aren't goodie good hero and bad evil villain arggg, the PM keeps the underground in check to protect Yokohama. the ADA, like kunikida says aren't do gooders the go around feeding orphans But they have saved the city countless times. And the special division do what governments do, They uphold the order.
Making the characters one dimensional and one note not only is disrespectful to the original work but makes being in the fandom harder for everyone.
TL;DR bsd isn't so simple, it's a seinen. there's layers to everything in bsd, the characters, organisations, motives, clothes, etc. etc.
Found you.
One thing I think a lot of people either don’t realize or gloss over is that Dazai didn’t force Akutagawa to join the PM. It’s shown in “The Heartless Cur” that he gave Akutagawa the option of being provided with enough money to start a relatively normal life for himself and Gin.
It was Akutagawa’s choice to turn that offer down and ask Dazai to give him a purpose. Was he in a good headspace to make a major decision like that? Absolutely not, don’t get me wrong. But still, he wasn’t forced into it.
HOTDAMN I finally got some sleep and the new chapter dropped, this is why asagiri keeps getting the 'when I get you' treatment
Ya know I would be more ok with people shipping amuro x kaito if they didn't have a twelve year age gap, like come on. I know this fandom is ok with incest but pedophilia?? Really?
Considering money is sort of like the point system from the orphanage it makes sense Atsushi cares so much about it, after all he had to endure a lot of pain for it.
Natsume is canonically afraid of thunder,and I think we as a fandom tend to forget that
