this is what i meant when i said the theory they don’t care for each other is bullshit. here’s your proof!

The Akutagawa siblings actually mean so much to me TT__TT

[literarywhoard]

YEAAAAAAH

"the series is so repetitive nothing happens" "all the deaths get reversed they don't matter" "nothing in the series ever matters"

YOU DIDN'T GET THE POINT.

the point? asagiri is better at rounded character development than all of you.

idk I don't think it was love and trust that created the current calamity, and I don't think anything they've done in meursault or at the airport has been futile. I don't think the themes fall apart when they're challenged, I think they're reinforced, which is as evidenced by Fukuzawa cradling Aya as it is by Akutagawa asking Atsushi if they need anyone else.

i will always eat up anything about sigchuu. especially that last sentence there, which i want to expand on.

of course we all know chuuya can be a little quick to fly off the handle! and sigma is no angel all the time either, in season 5 we saw he had to be a little rough with dazai. (omfg who doesn't)

maybe sigma helps chuuya be a little more patient and a little less hotheaded. maybe chuuya helps sigma be more confident in setting boundaries and being loyal to said boundaries.

chuuya teaching sigma how to properly handle weapons.

sigma taking chuuya on quiet little café dates, and after they go walk through botanical gardens. chuuya's life outside of the mafia becomes sigma. sigma's home becomes chuuya.

chuuya calls him peppermint, and sigma calls him gingersnap.

We need to give more attention to SigChuu.

(Mild bsd spoilers)

Two inhuman characters, who just went through a truamatic event together (mersault), who both either are lost or were lost on who they were at some point in time, they could really help tale care of each other. Plus I feel like Sigma would help bring out the calmer sides of Chuuya, and that would be really sweet.

💙 from the ask game?

💙: which character is not as hot as everyone says?

my friends call me the #1 dazai hater.

he does have a few manga panels/anime shots that he could be considered "hot", then he talks. :/

I want to see 🧡 from the ask game please!!!

🧡: a popular theory i disagree with?

oohhhh i'm gonna have to go with the theory i've seen pop up a few times about the aku siblings, that they don't care about each other.

have yall... consumed ANY of bsd...?

i refuse to touch beast i just like that dazai dies BUT, i know their relationship is a huge central point of the plot because they were separated. if they did not care for each other, their relationship would NOT MATTER! and therefore the entirety of beast would NOT MATTER!

and then, the canon timeline. the first time we see them interact one-on-one, ryuu comments that it has been a while since he's seen gin. if they did not care, do you think ryuu would respond to gin's absence? or even talk to her to begin with? that IS what "not caring" means lmfao. if they did not care, why would gin do ryuu's laundry? why would she meet with him at a street corner to begin with? WHY WOULD THEY LIVE TOGETHER???

a little bit louder...

THEY CANONICALLY FUCKING LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF. doing that with someone you deeply love and cherish is hard, nevermind someone you don't care for???? gimme a break!

yeah i'm gonna go with them caring a lot about each other. especially since gin followed ryuu into the mafia. (we know she didn't HAVE to, but there she is.)

I am curious about what you think about the Red Heart question in the Ask Game Unpopular Opinions edition

❤️: which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

oh there are... too many... so many.

junichiro is a victim, naomi is the weirdo.

ryuunosuke is one of the most dangerous characters in the anime, he is not a soft grunge uwu i love atsushi boy. he's homicidal and traumatized.

atsushi is also not soft uwu boy. he's sassy and sometimes even a little snarky. he has mean bones in his body.

DAZAI DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYBODY!!!

gosh i could think of more but there's too many, really.

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Not me being petty on main but—

Dazai openly mocked Akutagawa's situation and bad luck to have been picked up by someone like Dazai, saying how, "I have a friend known for picking up orphans" and "if he had been the one to pick you up from the slums, he would have gently and firmly guided you" and all that, which had been unnecessarily cruel.

Like, he was dangling a better life in front of Akutagawa, and saying it wasn't meant for him, basically.

Yet later, karma got to him, didn't it? The orphaned kids were killed, and then Oda walked straight to his death.

Would that have happened if Oda had picked up Akutagawa instead? If Akutagawa had been staying in that same place, he could have taken down those men like it was nothing. That's what happened in the Beast movie after all, right? I just find that fascinatingly fitting. Talk shit, get hit typa thing.

Yes, Oda would have guided him. He would have supported him and cared for him. And maybe, just maybe, Akutagawa could have saved him, too.

So yeah, go on, mock away, Dazai Osamu.

Opinion on Sigchuu? (Sigma x chuuya) platonic of romantic headcanons go! 🫵

SIGCHUU HCS

I think it would be really cute, but it would need special care. They would be very disorderly at first. Sigma tends to let other's opinions sway his own. What he heard from Fyodor probably freaked him out. Dazai also tends to downplay everything, so Sigma does not have the same opinion after talking to him.

Chuuya first response is no longer violent, but when givens the opportunity to test his strength gets a little too excited. Sigma witnessed this and probably got slightly concerned on the tone shift. Chuuya is also bad at responding to emotions when frustrated. It would startle Sigma to see how Chuuya talks to his ex partner and gets slight whiplash at the dynamic of how Chuuya talks to other people. Although Chuuya has these switches, he was always nice and kind to Sigma. It mildly confuses him, but he tries to be polite back as much as he can.

They have a mutual connection, which is Dazai. They would interact on missions or accidentally in public. Chuuya sees Sigma staring him down, trying to figure him out. Chuuya's pretty smart with his words and tries to break the ice. He asks simple questions, Sigma answering honestly.

It's a very slow burn type of ship. Sigma needs a bit more to himself, and Chuuya would respect that. Dazai would tease the living shit out of them, and it gets worse when he reliezed there was more. That sparks a mutual agreement between Chuuya and Sigma to keep everything from this guy.

Chuuya would introduce Sigma into music. Deep lyrics are what Sigma looks for most. He ends up showing vulnerability to Chuuya in a song about finding where you belong. As a fellow music and lyric lover, Chuuya shows him how personal favorites are. These songs trigger conversations and expose their insecurities to each other. The gate to emotional bonding is opened.

Sigma is honest how he hates how people take advantage of him. Chuuya giving a honest, but vague recap of how he feels about that. They relate to each other on this. Chuuya gets empathically irritated with the conversation. They promised each other to call out when they notice people are picking on them. Also, they promised to try to find a way to weezle out of situations if they are being held hostage / blackmailed.

Chuuya travels a lot. Sigma would wait for him, setting up a personal surprise. Chuuya would see it coming the moment he got back, but seeing Sigma excited, he couldn't help but fall for the surprise.

They would confess while listening to music. Chuuya asked as if it was a "what if" kind of moment. Sigma responded to it with a positive attitude, saying yes and ending it with "but I don't want a what if"

It would be very cute to witness, Chuuya panicks from the sudden realization of how real this gets from time to time and starts floating away. Sigma doesn't know how to respond, and they yell in an admiration and in a flustered panick.

Chuuya would be obsessed with dressing Sigma. Sigma is very ethereal looking, so treating him like a doll is sort of expected. They would have that cute moment where Chuuya is fixing the outfit, and they would be staring eye to eye.

Chuuya would be romantic af, but Sigma doesn't know shit about romance. He tries his best, watching or reading romance to get a vague idea. Chuuya finds it cute he tries so hard. Chuuya lets him take over, but Sigma genuinely does something sweet, and Chuuya grows extremely flustered. They would lose track of the progress of the romance and end up trying to out flirt each other. This becomes its own type of romance between them, giving words of admiration in the mix.

lets not pretend this doesnt apply to gin, too! i need BOTH of them to be yappers!

imagine this: it's 2 am. they have netflix open but haven't watched a single thing. they've been shit talking and cackling on the floor the entire time. the tea is SCALDING, because the aku sibs are besties in my heart, and boy can the two of them gossip. (gin loves having a boyliker brother, too, because she can ask ryuu if a guy is hot or if she's gone delulu.)

i need them to be unable to look at higuchi or tachihara in the eyes without trying to hold in laughter. they both know too much. extra dangerous bonus if they rope in a certain someone tachihara knows... jouno.

I love when people paint Akutugawa as the strong silent type. When he himself remarks that "I don't recall introducing myself as a mute."

And Fukuchi looks at him on the boat and remarks how "this one looks like he's gonna be a real pain in the ass to shut up."

Akutagawa don't speak much but when he does, boy does he not shut up it's great.

if you hate dazai and also like platonic sskk, is it safe to assume you don't like skk?

yeah, it is! the same way a lot of the danganronpa fandom felt that junko could never have a healthy relationship, i feel that way with dazai. to me, the only person he cared about was oda, and oda is dead. canonically, he trusts chuuya, but they do pretty much hate each other.

the only time i like skk is those memes that go like this:

dazai, texting: i'm so sorry i want to reconnect and have some drinks

chuuya, responding with a voice memo that's just cackling:
