Ranpo is truly a free spirit, a free thinker
That single chapter made me like him a lot more than I already did
I remember this moment when I watched the anime I felt so bad for akutagawa
IK he's the antagonist rn but u ain't gotta do him like THAT

ODASAKU IN THE BACKGROUND TOO

Akutagawa you have some feelings you want to unpack buddy
That's a really sad world view it's pretty obvious he applies it to himself harshly

Basing his self worth only on results
You know what I just realized
The conscious choice of the artist to make akutagawa and atsushi visually contrasting in every way possible as well as the writer's to make their immediate situations so different, only for them to be inwardly incredibly similar to one another

And I think that's really fucking sexy idk about you
Ok ya know what's interesting? Is how they are really similar but the world views they constructed turned out so different from one another, and that can clearly be seen in how each of them regards and interacts with Kyouka
At the end of this arc I really wasn't thinking wow I'm glad they saved the city and everyone is safe. I was thinking wow I'm glad they've all somewhat progressed a step further in accepting who they are.
And that really shows that bsd isn't plot centered but character centered

The stakes weren't in "is the city going to be destroyed?" but rather "are they going to come out of this more broken than they already are?"
Nothing to see here, just akutagawa using how important dazai is to him as a way to empathize with atsushi
Promise I'm not delusional
He really look good in that straight jacket like he should consider modeling yknow
He's literally very incredibly sexy, like intellectually speaking
Omg he's like the INTJ archetype lmfaoo

This line is my only memory of season 3, I remember s3 playing too hard on the "well that's what I would do so ik that's what he's gonna do" thing
Ok ok!!!
Imagine if someone already acquired the book and the whole story we've been reading was the reality they wrote down
Meta??

One of my favorite scenes from the anime to be honest
The whole dazai akutagawa atsushi kyouka dynamic is amazing

Ok so mori and fukuzawa r under natsume, dazai and chuuya r under mori, akutagawa and atsushi r under dazai, kyouka is under both of aku and atsu
Is this what they call peak shonen

I don't understand Dazai's lapse in logic during this arc his whole reasoning was "because that's what I would do" and that's why you got fooled!!
It makes him look super lame

I'm bout tk start talking like a shonen-head in this thread
