all of dazai's suicide attempts that we actually see in canon are stuff that in case he survives, likely won't impact him too much in the long run (they might suck at first but the odds of getting some chronic condition as a result aren't high)
in nlh yozo says he doesn't mind dying but he doesn't want to get injured, bleed, or become disabled
i just think it's interesting 🧐 (i also think this is where the whole "i hate pain" thing comes from)
also extra interesting that he is CONSTANTLY getting injured outside of suicide attempts. just now we can see him with a broken leg and 3 gunshot wounds
and this is where his differences from yozo shine. like. at his core he is based on him. but yozo doesn't really go through some arc, he is just a person describing his life, and most people don't have arcs
but bsd dazai is fully a character, and he very much does get an arc. this is where he grows from being yozo to being dazai. from being. well. no longer human, to hopefully eventually accepting his humanity
so where yozo would avoid injury at all cost, sit on the sidelines and watch as people he loves get hurt, dazai will jump into danger and likely won't come out of it completely unscathed
but he does come out uninjured from his own self-inflicted danger. he drowns himself, but he coughs out the water and goes on about his day. he consumes poison, but he throws it up and moves on. he has to keep on living after all. he has people to help, and he has to be in the best shape to do so properly
and while his attempt in beast was 100% guaranteed to work given the height, even if he somehow miraculously survived it, he won't ever be the same, likely have all his bones shattered and his brain damaged and he'll be in a coma for who knows how long. that's another difference of his from canonzai. to beastzai, there is no day after the plan is over. he's done all the help he could, in his eyes. he achieved his goal, so the rest of his life doesn't matter, might as well finish it (and also there's the whole universe collapsing if too many ppl know abt it and such. tho idk this could also just be a lie of his to make sure sskk won't stop him)

little headcannons about elenore on board the enterprise.
yes i will totally update these the more i rewatch.
1. she 100% would have to spend a solid couple of days in the decon chamber. considering no one really considered all the illnesses and viruses that she hasn’t been exposed too yet. she actually happened to get deathly sick her third day on board. phlox was beside himself trying to keep her alive.
2. she hoards her inhaler with her life. the way that she probably doesn’t know if they could synthesize anymore. so she’s just wheezing every so often because she doesn’t want to waste it. until she fucking passes out in the hall and phlox is literally just “ ????? bitch????? its simple. “
3. ellie does sometimes go poof. she disappears for a couple of days before always returning back to the enterprise. it’s almost like home base for her. she’s safe there.
3.1. she disappears to future ships. she can’t tell her enterprise crew, but it does help her get the upper hand on learner about new species.
4. but it also means that her and daniels have beef.
4.1. she also promptly stole his quarters.
5. she actually impresses chef when she’s finally cleared to roam the ship. she brings her a game and he actually lets her work a little bit in the galley.
6. which means she also proves her worth to archer. she does his dinner some nights. while also ripping it with desserts , for the little senior staff dinners. but she’s finally feeling useful after pretty much taking up space in sickbay for two solid weeks.
7. ellie introduces the crew to the wonders of 21st century reality tv. she finds shows like big brother , married at first sight (australia bc there is no better version) and even the bachelor.
7.1. t’pol is very very much into the bachelor , even if she would never admit it. she lets ellie eat from her popcorn bucket.
7.2. trip is very much into big brother.
7.3. hoshi adores a good singing contest.
8. ellie and trip bond over sun , surf and florida. well for ellie its mainly bonding over the fact that disney.world still exists. the idea that it does has ellie bouncing out of her seat (and a little terrified).
9. ellie has a four legged shadow. she fed porthos cheese once and that dog follows her everywhere.
9.1. if he’s a good enough dog , she will feed him something more nutritious than the bagged dog food archer always seems to give him.
10. ngl when i say the four of them , i mean archer/trip/t’pol/ellie , all somehow end up joined at the hip. maybe its just a senior staff type of thing. the only ones to know of ellie’s special ability or something else. who knows. :)))))
