Gin X Daughter Reader

HOW AM I SO LUCKY

Gin’s Pov:

I just finished a mission and walked in and saw my beloved 18 year old child (y/n). The age I found out I was pregnant with her. How could I have something so precious? What did I do to deserve (your gender)? Well I didn’t…

~FLASHBACK~

I was out with a coworker (D/n). It was a normal night we did our mission like we were told and headed back towards the base to see if the boss needed anything else. However I had an urge and things got heated…

(SMALL TIME SKIP CAUSE I DON’T DO LEMON 🍋)

I woke up in (D/n) bed. I was shocked but left quickly. After awhile I found out I was pregnant.

‘Oh shit! How could this have happened’

‘What would Rynosuke think?’

‘How do I tell (D/n)?’

All these thoughts ran through my head till I heard the door open and saw my big brother. He looked at me confused and walked up to me and gave me a look. “Gin.” He said my name starting at me. My heart was pounding and then it slipped “I’m pregnant.” Rynosuke’s eyes widened in anger. “Who. Did. This. To. You.” I looked at him and told him everything. After all how could I lie to him. He’s been there for me my whole life.

-TIME SKIP-

I went to work and tried to find (D/n) but he wasn’t there. Why wasn’t he there? I went to the boss and asked where (D/n) was. And the boss looked up and smiled and said “OH! (D/n)! Well he left the port mafia.” My heart broke ‘how could he?’ I thought. Then what the boss said made me shiver “I sent Chuuya to find and kill him.” I nodded and went home. I prayed for him to be safe and return to me.

-9 Months Later-

PAIN. Was all I felt. SCREAMS. Was all I did. While squeezing my big brother’s hand to bring my baby into the world. When I first saw my beloved baby all I could do was cry. My baby was small and beautiful. How could I be so lucky? Yes I’m young. But I will love my beloved child. I wish (your gender) came later in life though.

As time passed (Y/n) grew up into a strong and beautiful person. My baby’s first words was “mama”, took her first steps to her beloved uncle Rynosuke. We trained (your gender) at the age of 4. And by the time she was 5 it happened. (Your gender) developed an ability. The same as their father’s.

(This is were you pick ability and all that)

She was strong with it and I was proud.

-SKIP TO NOW-

I thought about the past till my beloved child ran to me and hugged me. I asked if they wanted to know stuff about father. And Rynosuke snapped his head to me. And to my surprise (Y/n) looked at me with a smile and said “I don’t need to know who he is. You loved and raised me my whole life with Uncle Rynosuke. And to me. My Uncle is more of a father figure to me.” I smiled and hugged my ‘baby’ as we went on to enjoy the rest of the day.

important question. what is your favourite fact/piece of knowledge about the other akira kurosawa

he showed the sun in rashomon.

okay context. i cannot explain to you what rashomon means to me, ive read it a million times till today, i have the book that contains that short story by rynosuke akutagawa by my bed still, the same book i first read when i was just a child. it was a part of this like series of classic books in my native language, you know the ones that come out occasionally, and this was the first big organized project after the war in the early 2000s, and the translations were relatively new. it included shakespeare and hugot and zola and idek who else, but i saw a book titled rashomon and i remembered the word from this lyric from a very popular balkan rock band, and i never knew what it meant but i thought it may explain the lyrics to me so iread it. my dad saw me reading it and told me "do you know there is a movie?", and that was me and my dad, always watching movies together and debating them. so he rented rashomon from the video store (i later found out that the casette was made especially because he asked, pirated, because it wasnt available otherwise bcs nobody fucking cared about some black and white japanese 1950s movie) and we sat down to watch and i was just. fucking in love. and my dad said randomly, "do you know this was the first time someone filmed the sun on screen?" because he always knew the most random things and that just. stuck with me. thsi is a story about not trusting your perceptions, and he filmed the fucking sun. idk. also. my dad used to buy me sunflowers my whole life. said they reminded him of me.

akira kurosawa was the first one to show the sun on screen. and it was in black and white, but it just fucking shone so brightly to me back then, and it still does now. so yeah.

#akira answers asks #as you can see by the name i chose for myself i have a thing for him #akira kurosawa #rashomon #personal #i guess

Why I think Dazai will Live

Warnings: Mentions of suicide and manga spoilers

Summary: Why Dazai will live in relation to the theme of the anime

Because after the latest episode of Bungou stray dogs Wan! I’ve seen people talking about how Dazai is going to die. So today I am going to be examining the themes of the anime in connection to why I believe hope Dazai is going to live. I’m going to mainly discuss the anime because I hadn’t really read the manga yet but I will touch on Chapter 87.

I will be talking about 2 of the main themes of Existentialism; finding a reason to live, Recovery

Existentialism and Recovery

Before we begin talking about Dazai, let’s first examine these two themes. Throughout the whole anime, through examining the background of the characters. We slowly learn about the dark pasts that most characters have experienced in their lives. Most of them have been through so much trauma and some even having suffered from abuse to be able to become who they are today. I mean that’s why we always say that all the Bungou Stray Dogs characters need therapy after all.

Yet despite all that they’ve been through, despite being invalidated, emotionally hurt and seeing the horrifying things life can throw at them. All of them are still trying to find a reason for them to live in this world, a reason for why they should be able to continue to live. In spite of what others have told them, in spite of the things they have done, in spite of how utterly agonizing life could be at times. But to do so, I have this belief that they first have to recover from their pasts, face their shadows and their darkest fears to do so.

So where can we see these themes? One of the most straight-forward evidence to this is the Season 2 op Reason Living:

Why can’t I find the shining light?

The reason for me to live my life

With my tainted hands

Desire ignites the will to fight

And find the reason that I’m alive

It cannot be found within the past

I’ll write today, a brand new page

I don’t think I have to explain where existentialism can be seen in the lyrics. But recovery can also be seen here as well, the “tainted hands” in the lyrics here represents their dark pasts and their pain, as it can not only be interpreted as the fact that they have done morally questionable actions, which tainted and corrupted them; we can also see it tainted because of the wounds they have endured and received in the past. This together with the fact that it says, it “cannot be found within the past”, and the need for “a brand new page” clearly showcases that they can’t keep looking at their past, and they have to look forward to find a reason to live. Therefore from this we can see, the theme of recovery and existentialism cannot be separated in this anime.

I mean even Dazai once said:

"But your anguish isn't yours alone. What should we do when what they want to be isn't what they're best at? Everyone fights, searching for the correct way to live their lives. What do they seek by fighting? How ought they live? No one can say. All we have is the right to waver. Like Stray Dogs that have hit rock bottom.”

I feel like what he is trying to say here, is that we have to fight our anguish, the anguish that stems from the hurt you’ve received in the past. You have to find a way to defeat it, even if it means to battle yourself. And through fighting it, and defeating it, perhaps you can find your own reason to live. Once again showcasing the connection between recovery and existentialism.

So as we can see, the characters in the anime are just trying to find their own way, their own reason to continue to exist in this world. But to do so, they first have to battle their inner darkness, their shadow. And Dazai is of course no exception to this.

Although Dazai often talks about suicide and his desire for death. I believe it all stems from his question “do you see any value in the act of living?”. After analyzing Dazai’s character for the fic which I wrote yesterday, I believe that the reason why he think that is because of suffering and pain. The reason why he likes suicide is because he wants to escape these things that he believes is the essence of life. I mean during the dark era he said "There's nothing in life worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.” I mean if you were to see life only as a endless cycle of suffering and pain, wouldn’t you like to escape reality and this thing we call life as well?

But despite this, I feel like all he wants to know is that there is something beyond this in life, something more than suffering. Perhaps something beautiful in this violent current of life, something that could make all of that worth it. Maybe that is why Odasaku’s words are so impactful to him, because perhaps being on the good side could be a bit more beautiful, and perhaps that’s why even the words to us at face value seem bleak, seem to gives Dazai a bit of hope.

As we can see clearly, there is just this certain emptiness Dazai feels, there is just this hole that Dazai could never seem to fill, which manifests into his depression and suicidal attempts, but also is the root of his existentialism, which is heavily ingrained in his character. And remember what I mentioned earlier about existentialism and how it and recovery are tied together in this anime? Well, it should be consistent for Dazai’s character development as well.

In another analysis I’ve done, I’ve mentioned that Dazai is still on in his hero’s journey, his character arc is not completed yet. There’s still more to develop for him, he still has to ‘recover’. I put this in quotations and use it loosely for Dazai because, we know Dazai’s emptiness can never truly go away or healed, despite what we hope. Even Odasaku mentioned that. But that doesn’t mean that he can’t learn to accept it and live on with it. I feel like Dazai’s ‘recovery’ will not be the same as other characters due to how essentially different his source of pain is from others. But perhaps he may be able to see that although life isn’t able to fill the void he has, that emptiness, he may find something of meaning in life, something beautiful, worth fighting for and perhaps even worth living for. In my eyes, I view Dazai’s final arc as finally being able to be at peace with himself, being able to see a reason for why he exists in this world; perhaps it is to protect the beauty in this world that he is slowly starting to see as in Dead Apple? Or perhaps to be finally be able to reach a state of fulfillment/ content for himself to be able to continue to exist in this world.

Therefore, if we are looking at it like this, Dazai’s death would not only defeat the purpose of Odasaku’s death, which is to try and help Dazai to see that perhaps life is more beautiful than he originally thought; it would also ruin a potentially beautiful and moving character arc and go against the whole theme of the anime.

Manga readers, perhaps you may be thinking, but that still doesn’t remove the possibility of his death, as a major character in the universe had died(?) in the manga. Don’t worry, I’ll be talking about that too and why I think it was necessary for that character, and how it also relates to this theme. [Manga Spoilers ahead, you can skip it if you don’t want to read spoilers :)]

Yes, despite haven’t really started reading the Manga, I am aware of Akutagawa’s death and that he became a vampire and a few other things that happened in the manga. And this perhaps showcases that major characters like perhaps Dazai can indeed die. But right now, I’m going to tell you no because I feel like this death was actually important for Akutagawa’s own character arc to fulfill this theme.

In Chapter 87, we see Atsushi and Akutagawa talking about the meaning of life. And till this moment, as we can see, Akutagawa still holds onto the belief that his meaning to live revolves around the need for validation. He fears dying without Dazai’s approval; he wants people to tell him that it is okay to live, that he’s good enough to continue on in this world. Perhaps it is because of his background, the fact that he used to live in the slums, as a nobody, that if he dies nobody would even know and nobody would even care. And perhaps that is why he is so desperate for approval, he believes that he has to earn the right to live, through continually proving his worth, and sees this as his reason to live.

But we all know that you cannot have others to tell you how to live, we know that Atsushi knows that as well. Because even if others tell you it’s okay, but you yourself do not believe it, then how can you expect to be okay with it? But if you know Akutagawa, then you know he is stubborn. I don’t think anyone can convince him into believing in anything unless he himself decides to think so.

I’ve read this chapter quite a few times before I was able to grasp it’s meaning in a sense. But every time I read it, what struck me the most was that a few moments before his death he said that “words do nothing, actions do”.

Do you know why? Well remember what he said when he was fighting the guild back in Season 2?

“All I expect is a sentence from someone who wouldn’t say it to me”

Do you see any connections? Because till that moment, he is convinced that the reason to live is for validation, that sentence, words from Dazai that perhaps he is worthy, strong enough to keep on living. But at the moment near his death he says the opposite, that words do nothing. Perhaps it is at this moment of death that Akutagawa finally sees the reason for living, that it was beyond what he had believed. Perhaps death is necessary for him to find his reason for living, which in a way is quite ironic.

But if we once again look at the hero’s journey, we can actually say that this is perhaps Akutagawa’s death and rebirth phase (quite literally). Maybe after all this is over, he can actually step on the ‘recovery’ stage to continue to break free from the past that holds him back and continue to search for a reason to live.

Now let’s go back to Dazai. So as we can see, Akutagawa’s death, if we look at it this way can essentially be seen as a character arc in the quest to find the reason to live. But does Dazai’s death benefit or add to his arc in any way? I honestly don’t really think so...

As Odasaku said “people live to save themselves”. And how does one save themselves without finding the desire and the reason to live? We save ourselves by finding the answer to this question, in this long life that we have, searching for an answer. Despite what life throws at us, we have to endure, and that’s what this anime is about. Therefore, I feel like Dazai will not die.

Dazai: I told Chuuya his ears turn red when he lies and now I can tell if he’s really lying.

Akutagawa: Huh? How?

Dazai: Watch this.

Dazai: Chuuya, do you love me?

Chuuya, covering his ears: No! Fuck you!

Things I need in my life:

Platonic SSKK with the two of them growing more into themselves and their respective roles in the Mafia/ADA. They mature together in their own ways, making them a striking cross-organization team.

Platonic SSKK that don’t always agree on the others’ methods but they respect it nonetheless. They discuss a lot with each other, gaining perspective even if their methods don’t change, or don’t change drastically.

Platonic older!SSKK where Akutagawa becomes an Executive and Atsushi is his connection to the ADA. They have drinks together every other week. Akutagawa likes making fun of Atsushi’s poor alcohol tolerance despite being a lightweight himself.

Platonic SSKK where Akutagawa just shows up at the ADA like yo, we got shit to do together, no warning, no preamble, and fully expects Atsushi to come with him. (Side note, Atsushi always goes with him, if a little begrudgingly because dude, you own a cell phone and have my number...)

Platonic SSKK where Atsushi meets Gin properly and they become friends once Atsushi gets over the whole murder ninja sister thing. Gin tends to invite him over to the Akutagawa apartment. Akutagawa manages to resist defenestration Atsushi the first time it happens.

Platonic SSKK where Atushi is the reason Akutagawa and Kyouka reconnect in more than just fleeting moments on the battle field and actually gets them talking to each other like normal people.

#akutagawa rynosuke #nakajima atsushi #bungou stray dogs #hc #meta #kinda #i really love platonic SSKK #you can feel free to take this as shipping if you want but it's not really the intention i just really like the possibilities #for where aku and atsus relationship non romantically can go #and prefer it that way
