I've been thinking about the similarities between these two recently

the color schemes these two scenes have is so similar and no one talks about it

And something I find very interesting is that Atsushi states he's giving Kyouka a reason to be worthy of living, which is what Akutagawa was trying to give her and what he asked Dazai to give him

Also while not directly Kyouka & Akutagawa related I feel the need to note that Akutagawa imitates Dazai's treatment of him

So yeah Akutagawa & Kyouka's similarities make me sad

Well that's all for this ig

In this world folk need money, or land, or rain for sure, but we won’t die of thirst even if the sun bakes us for a hundred days straight. As long as we have the dew, we’ve got plenty.

«Bueno, ahí está la cosa. Nadie sabe nada de ella… ni dónde nació, ni dónde se crio, ni de quién pueda ser hija o hermana… nada. ¿La obtuvo Tamawaki como aval de un préstamo? ¿La compró? Hubo quienes dijeron que era hija de un aristócrata tronado. Otros que provenía de una casa adinerada que se desbarató. Algunos estaban convencidos de que era una geisha de alto rango o una ramera muy subida. Los chismes que circulaban eran el cuento de no acabar; hasta se dijo que era el espíritu guardián de un lago sin fondo. El caso es que nadie sabía quién era en realidad.

»Yo desde luego no pude sacar muchas conclusiones cuando la vi. Claro no se puede esperar que un sacerdote tenga ojo para esas cosas: el perfil de las cejas de una mujer, sus ojos, y demás. A mí no me pareció tan arrebatadora; pero su boca era noble, no la que uno imaginaría profiriendo un falso halago. Y lucía inteligente, como si tuviera conciencia de la vanidad de las cosas y la auténtica naturaleza del amor.

»Su cuerpo y su rostro expresaban compasión. No era mujer capaz de rechazar a un hombre, fuera barquero, caballerizo o incluso bonzo. Aunque no hubiera tolerado trato amoroso, al menos habría respondido a su galanteador con un poema acertado. Con el más leve roce del nudo de su faja o el vuelo de su manga, los huesos de un hombre se fundirían con el rocío del deseo.

»Era sofisticada. Pero hay que decir que su rostro resultaba más fascinador que etéreo. Su prestancia movía a imaginarla como una mujer que lee a la luz de una bujía en un sombrío torreón, vestida con unos zaragüelles grana; el rocío destilando de sus mangas, pues su cabello es demasiado fino para ser lavado con agua corriente. O bañándose a solas en un manantial, muy alejada del mundanal ruido, torciendo la negra melena que contrasta con su nívea piel. Más que afán, me inspiraba la impresión de poseer un poder ilimitado, capaz de hechizar a un hombre con sólo mirarlo. En ella se contenían el cielo, el infierno y este mundo de cenizas, lo que me inducía a pensar que tanto sus pecados como sus expiaciones eran insondables.»

Headcanon that the ADA has a double sided whiteboard with like schedule and mission details written on the front and a betting chart on the back

Something mildly exciting happens and Dazai or Yosano flip the board and start gathering bets

Dazai: “Is the client the culprit? Bets everyone!”

Atsushi: “How much..?”

Dazai: “Hmm…¥1.000! All for aye?”

Kyōka: “Aye,”

Yosano: “Aye,”

Atsushi: “Mmmm…nay,”

Dazai: “Oh, Atsushi, you sweet soul,”

Kunikida: “Don’t make bets on the client!”

Atsushi: “I’d rather give them the benefit of the doubt. Yeah, they were creepy as hell, but maybe they’re just bad with people!”

Jun’ichiro: “Aye,”

Naomi: “Aye!”

Atsushi: “You guys…”

Kunikida: “DID ANY OF YOU EVEN HEAR ME?!”

Dazai: “Nope! Aye or nay?”

Kunikida: “Dazai…”

Dazai: “Aye or nay?”

Kunikida: “This is incredibly unprofessional!”

Kunikida: “…….”

Kunikida: “…Aye,”

Dazai: “Aye, he says!”

Kenji: “:D?????”

Kenji doesn’t bet cuz he doesn’t get it, but it’s fun to see everyone so excited!

Ranpo’s not allowed to bet until everyone else has placed their own first (and they’re not allowed to change their mind once he bets).

Dazai: “All done! Ranpo-san, your turn!”

Ranpo: “Mmm….”

Ranpo:

Dazai:

Ranpo:

Ranpo: “Nay.”

All: *collective groans of defeat*

Cleaning and typesetting by: @kyouka-supremacy

Chapter illustrated by: Samamiya Akaza

You can find all of the other BSD Anthology chapters translated into English over here.

This chapter may seem short, but it did require quite a bit of research and tweakings to get right; so once again I want to thank @kyouka-supremacy from the bottom of my heart for her massive help! Both for the incredible job she's done at cleaning the raws and doing the typesetting, but also for all the inputs she's provided and all the points she's brought up to improve the translation. Thank you again for everything, it's been a wonderful experience working together on this! <3<3 Make sure you go check out her blog and especially the huge BSD Resources Masterpost that she's compiled!

'•.¸♡ love song ♡¸.•'

Basically when they hear their s/o sing to themselves.

Gn!reader

Fluff

Masterlist

Enjoy! :)

Feat. Fukuzawa, Yosano, Atsushi, Kunikida, Kenji, Kyōka, Dazai, Ranpo, Higuchi, Oda, Poe, Fyodor, Natsume

Yukichi Fukuzawa:

Fukuzawa had just gotten back from a long do in the office to see you happily humming and softly singing to yourself.

Fukuzawa stood in the door frame for a second before going up to you and giving you a kiss on your forehead as a greeting.

He really liked hearing you sing and only wished you could do it more often.

Akiko Yosano:

Yosano woke up with a headache from the late night you two spent drinking and having fun.

Some how you weren't in bed but were making breakfast while humming to yourself occasionally breaking the hum to sing to yourself.

Seeing your girlfriend walk over to you made you stop singing but she told you to continue as she gave you a hug placing her head on your back while you kept making French toasts.

Atsushi Nakajima:

You were typing away on your laptop with your earphones/headphones on softly singing the song you were listening to when Atsushi walked in.

He didn't want to disturb you but he enjoyed your singing so much that he stayed a while but when you looked up to see if Atsushi was standing there he ran away.

Doppo Kunikida:

Kunikida hates distractions especially when he's working away but oddly enough he doesn't mind it when you hum a song to yourself, singing a few words here and there.

He will continue working and acting as if he cannot hear you but secretly he enjoys listening to your humming.

Kenji Miyazawa(platonic):

When Kenji hears you singing he will listen to you happily and ask you what you were singing afterwards.

He might mention a song some of the villagers used to sing when he was in the village.

Kyōka Izumi(platonic):

She'll compliment your singing abilities and ask you to sing to her her favourite song or something.

She'll be very happy if you sing to her.

Osamu Dazai:

You were cleaning while singing to yourself and moving your body as if in a dance, not noticing Dazai staring at you while sitting in a chair.

You turn around and almost let out a yelp before turning your head in embarrassment, you could feel your face getting warm and you heard a light chuckle come from Dazai.

He was amused by your quick and cute reaction when you saw him, he didn't help you clean though.

Ranpo Edogawa:

Ranpo was in a sweets shop looking at all sorts of candy while you stood outside petting a cat who lay in the spring sun.

You were humming a sweet melody to the cat as it slept the day away, enjoying your soft touch and the warm sun.

You heard someone clear their throat loudly behind you, while you turned your head to see who it was the cat had run away. The person who scared the cat away was Ranpo.

'Can we leave now?' He asked although it sounded more like a whiny demand than anything.

While at home he asked you if you could do what you did with the cat: pet his head while singing to him.

Ichiyō Higuchi:

The moment she heard your voice sing she knew she was in love.

She would try to be as close to you while you sang as possible but not too close so you wouldn't see her.

When you stop singing (weather you know she's there or not) she'll tell you how cute you were and how you should sing to her every night.

Sakunosuke Oda:

Oda has opened the door to your shared apartment to the smell of curry and the sound of your voice softly singing and humming.

He stood in the hallway taking off his coat slowly from feeling exhausted and from wanting to stay there and listen to your voice.

Once he took off his coat and shoes he walked up to you and gave you a tired hug from behind and asked when the meal was going to be finished before giving you a kiss.

Edgar Allan Poe:

Poe was in his study writing away with Karl chilling near by. He was feeling a bit lonely since you left somewhere for a while and Karl wasn't too interested in spending his time with Poe.

Karl's head perked up and ran away towards the front leaving Poe all alone. He lay his forehead on his desk in defeat. He soon heard a soft melody being sang, enjoying your singing he sat with his head still down, being lost in your melody.

When he heard the door open his head quickly jerked up to see you standing with a smile, he smiled his awkward smile back at you.

Fyodor Dostoevsky:

You over heard Fyodor playing and the song got stuck in your head.

Fyodor told you he'd be gone for a while so you decided to read a book for a while when the song made its way to you and was stuck in your head again, you started humming the song hoping it

Sōseki Natsume:

He sneaks into the room in his cute little kitty form and continues to listen while taking a light nap somewhere in the corner.

When you find and stop singing he'll notice even if he in asleep.

His cute little kitty head will look up to see why you stopped until he realises it's 'cause of him.

He won't think much of it and go along with his day.

El sacerdote escuchó atento. «Ya veo… Sí, he oído del desasosiego que embarga a nuestros intelectuales en estos tiempos, que los hay que aseguran haber visto a Dios o que se les ha aparecido Buda, y quienes declaran ser el mismo Salvador… Están incluso los de la secta Viento Divino en Kumamoto que recientemente protagonizaron algaradas por motivos religiosos. En cualquier caso, son cuestiones de elevada disquisición y debate, que no atañen a estas cosas que guardamos los sacerdotes… los ídolos.» Miró hacia el pequeño altar y continuó: «Una efigie de noble hechura es considerada en el siglo una obra de arte, un ejemplo escultórico. Quizá, como dice, el budismo florecerá en el futuro. ¿Pero qué será de los ídolos? ¿Qué hacemos con ellos? Si todos nos convertimos en rectos creyentes, ¿qué será de los que dicen venerar la imagen de Buda? Ahí está el punto crítico. Desde luego agradecemos que, como usted hace, se diferencie entre religión e idolatría… Yo creí que usted consideraba las imágenes como obras de arte, por eso le invité a dar una vuelta…»

«Pero ¿cómo podríamos prescindir de las imágenes? —replicó el viajero—. Sin ellas ¿en qué podríamos creer? Su error, monseñor, es llamarlas ídolos. Cada uno tiene su nombre. Shaka, Monju, Fugen, Seishi, Kannon. Todos tienen nombre propio. Lo mismo ocurre con las personas; si nos son extraños, no significan nada para nosotros. Pero póngales nombre. Con un nombre un ser humano se convierte en padre, madre, hermano o hermana. Y entonces: ¿seguiría tratándolos como a extraños? Es lo mismo con las imágenes. Si no son más que eso, no nos dicen nada. Pero la que preside este templo es Kannon —señaló a la nave mayor—, así que creemos en ella ¿no? Puede afirmarse con razón que una estatua tallada no es más que madera, metal o barro, decorada con oro, plata y piedras preciosas. Pero ¿y una persona? Piel, sangre, carne, los cinco órganos, las seis facultades, júntelo todo, vístalo y ahí tiene. Nunca olvide, monseñor, que incluso la más bella mujer no es más que eso.»

Miró al sacerdote a los ojos: «Me dirá que las personas tienen alma y las imágenes no. Pero, monseñor, justamente es nuestra noción del alma la que nos hace perder la vía o encontrarla, sentir zozobra o alcanzar la paz. Venerar es creer. ¿Se puede tirar con arco sin un blanco? Hasta los saltimbanquis y malabaristas tienen que aprender. Así que, a los que afirman que no necesitan imágenes, les pregunto: ¿basta anhelar a tu amada, amar y penar por alguien sin contemplar estar jamás en su presencia? ¿no verla nunca? ¿puede ser tal cosa? ¿Y si llegas a hablarle, no querrás tocar su mano? Y tocando su mano ¿te conformarías sin compartir un mismo lecho? Pregúnteles eso.

»La verdad es que uno desea abrazar al objeto de su amor aunque sólo sea en sueños. Vamos a ver. ¿No desearía ver a las divinidades, aunque no fuera más que una ilusión? Shaka, Monju, Fugen, Seishi, Kannon.  Dígame que no tiene nada que agradecer a sus imágenes.»

El rostro del sacerdote se animó y sus ojos brillaron hasta el punto que el viajero podía casi contar las puntas de barba en torno a su boca: «Bien dicho. Interesante en extremo».
