this did modest numbers on tiktok, i hope y’all like it too! here’s my…
(coming from a cosplayer who’s been in the fandom since 2016)
he has an astigmatism that went untreated for so long he’s now partially blind in his right eye. he needs glasses but hates his old pm pair and never wears them in public. he’s too lazy to get his prescription renewed/hates going to the doctor so they’re not even up to date for his vision
that’s why he’s a bad driver— he can’t fucking see
he drives/reads better if he closes one eye
mori forced him to get braces after he formally joined the port mafia. he had a lisp for the first few months and would blackmail ppl if he did it in front of them
he hid his bad vision for a long time, but mori eventually noticed and forced him to get glasses too. he fucking hated wearing them and “accidentally” kept breaking each new pair mori got
after that, mori got him contacts but he would lie and throw them out just to be defiant (totally not bc they squicked him out)
he originally started wearing his bandages because no one would touch him bc of his ability
he has awful tan lines bc of his bandages, his face and hands are tanner than the rest of his body, but since the sun can permeate light clothing/bandages he also has random splotchiness all over his body, especially his shoulders, arms, & back
in 15, dazai got so excited he was 5 cm taller than chuuya bc he was always the one being bullied for being short/malnourished before they met
at 16, chuuya grew slightly faster than dazai and started teasing him. dazai freaked out and started wearing lifts for a brief period of time. he was researching poisoning techniques to reduce growth right before he finally got his own growth spurt <3
he has chronic insomnia and is a scarily light sleeper. usually gets anywhere from 3-6 hours of sleep a night
he constantly has dark circles under his eyes as a result
whenever he shares a bed with chuuya, he’ll sleep twice as long as normal. at first, chuuya would get mad bc he was a huge brat to try and wake up, but now he lets dazai sleep in as long as he wants
his sense of taste is abysmal, which is why he likes really salty/spicy food. they’re the only flavors he can actually taste
he doesn’t decorate or furnish his ADA apartment because he’s scared that once he gets attached to the place, it’ll get taken away
he constantly beats himself up for not thinking to take odasaku’s coat with him. he bought his current one because it looked similar
he refuses to touch any of his pm salary, so it’s just kept accruing interest and is actually obscene at this point. he asked ango to “handle it” and cover banking stuff under the condition he gets to take out any expenses he wants. it irritates ango to no end that dazai won’t do anything with it
the day kunikida finds out about dazai’s pm bank account will be dazai’s final day on this earth
when he was 15 he was unironically into screamo bc “it screams for me when i can’t.” thought linkin park was super hardcore & his favorite song was “numb” (fucking loser)
he NEVER brushes his hair. like he doesn’t even own a fucking hairbrush or comb until chuuya has a conniption over it and starts keeping one at his apartment
whenever chuuya tries to brush his hair, it’s like trying to wrangle a feral cat. they’ve gotten in physical fights over it that always end with dazai pouting for the next hour while chuuya laughs at how flat his head looks without the rat’s nest
uses dollar store 9-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/motor oil. it’s ocean breeze scented! :)
he’s had the same fake driver’s license since he was 15 and never bothered to get a real one
he actually has decent medical training from spending so much time as mori’s apprentice. about the same level as a battle medic would have. capable of stitching wounds & performing surgery, but not as good as yosano even without her ability
yosano has tried to reach out and bond with him about their shared pasts a few times, but he always comes up with an excuse to leave. she eventually gave up on asking
one time, he got badly wounded and had to be treated by yosano. she had to sedate him because her ability doesn’t work on him, and he called her mori the whole time. he doesn’t remember, but she never forgot and stopped trying to spend time with him
Real
I never know when a new BSD chapter's coming out btw, I just open Tumblr and find my mutuals and the entire Bungou Stray Dogs tag screaming.
New gloves!!!
I absolutely love this
Concept:
I love the idea that in the beginning Dazai tried to mimic how he’d seen others in law enforcement act.
Given he was going to join a detective agency.
One he didn’t exactly know much about other then the Port Mafia’s biases and assumptions of them.
Namely that they were a bunch of goody too shoes who obeyed the law above all else.
And how the second he meets his new partner that he’s completely thrown for a loop. To the point where Dazai seriously wants to sit Mori down and ask if he’d ever met any member of the Agency.
Like ever.
Because the Agency may operate in the light and aid law enforcement but they are a grey organisation.
Dazai recognises several of their clients but what confuses him is that the others are more then aware with their affiliations.
But a job is a job.
Kunikida feels like he should be the poster child for responsibility. And yet he’s the one proposing that they go steal someone’s car.
His ideals aren’t as black and white as they first appeared to be and it fascinates him.
Dazai was already ready to go play nice and smooth things over when the cops got in their way. Only to stand there in shock as Kunikida fearlessly lectured them.
Demanding that they get out of his way because lives are at stake. It takes a second but then Dazai’s right there with him following along.
The Agency are like 4 people who’ve banded together and vowed to save lives and protect this city no matter what.
With whatever methods they see fit to do so and they are loved and feared. With bonds that are forged by stars and every bomb, chainsaw and gun at their disposal.
And Dazai adores them.
Listen Fifteen is Dazai assuming that Chuuya’s some loud brash idiot and how he gets that completely wrong and paying for it.
And I love the concept of that theme carrying on here.

Okay but kind of wild of Junichiro to keep such a huge earth shattering secret hidden inside a pen on his desk.
I get hiding it in the open but damn this is still a detective agency. And inside a pen at that like what if someone asks to use it? What if the pen breaks?
Like the fact Junichiro was able to hide this for that long from everyone is truly something.
Makes you wonder what else he could’ve hidden in plain sight.
FUCK THAT HURTS MY HEART
Hear me out.
Do you guys know how insane Akutagawa's promise to Atsushi really is?? Because Atsushi asked him not to kill for 6 months. However, at that point it's safe to assume Akutagawa knows he doesn't have more than 6 months.
Akutagawa agreed to not kill for what was essentially the rest of his life. I don't think he thought it through, considering if he has such an illness, how was he gonna fight Atsushi at the end of his life?? Was he actually planning to go through with it regardless of his physical state?
I have so many questions.
*Mrrrr*
Thats what I thought. :)

Hi there!
I don't know if you've talked about this in a previous post, so please forgive me if this is a redundant question, but you mentioned - in the post about how Fyodor seems to be mimicking Dazai's mannerisms post-Meursault - that Dazai sees himself in Atsushi.
It wasn't the point of that post, but I was very intrigued by what you said, since they're not typically seen as similar characters. I've thought about Dazai seeing Odasaku's traits in Atsushi's, but himself I've never considered.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter, if you are comfortable.
Also, I love reading your BSD character analyses! Have a lovely day!
Of course I don't mind explaining!
CW for mentions of suicide and child abuse
--
When I say Dazai sees himself in Atsushi, I don't mean in a "We act the same and have the same world views" kind of way, but more of a Dazai understands the way Atsushi feels about himself because he feels very similar. It's not exactly the same as how Dazai feels now, but I believe he's asked a lot of the same questions about himself that Atsushi does.
Take the first chapter where they are in the warehouse together.
Atsushi talks about himself as if he's worthless and matters to no one else, therefore he should just disappear. Dazai doesn't respond, but this look he has, to me, is recognition.
We know that as a teenager Dazai attempted to end his life, resulting in him meeting Mori. It's very easily plausible to me that Dazai had these same thoughts as Atsushi, that they eventually morphed into how he idealizes suicide in the current manga.
He doesn't tell Atsushi not to feel these things, or that he's wrong because Dazai understands what it's like to go through such self-loathing and how a stranger telling you not to feel that way doesn't really help. However, I do think this is the moment he decides to help Atsushi. To share the weight of his darkness just like Oda and Ango did for him.
There's also the fact that Dazai is the one to help Atsushi through his emotions when the Director dies. I, again, believe it's because Dazai understands Atsushi's complex emotions around the Director.
Again, we see him telling Atsushi that his feelings aren't wrong. All of them.
The anger, the hatred and yes, even the aching loss he so badly wants to deny. Dazai tells him it's okay to feel all those things at once and it's okay to cry over it. Because he wouldn't be crying over the Director, he's be crying for himself, for the little boy who didn't get the love and protection he should of and was instead stuck with such an abusive man.
I think Dazai understands this because of Mori and his own complex feelings around him. Dazai hates Mori, but he can't escape the influence he had over his teen years, over who he is today and the lessons he imparted on him. There was a time where Mori was the only person who had ever told Dazai it's okay to the way he is. He can only hate Mori as much as he does because at one time, he didn't.
I doubt Dazai actually views Mori as a father, the same way Atsushi never viewed the Director as his father, but it's the word that most easily describes both of complex feelings around them.
Dazai sees the lost and alone boy he was in Atsushi and he wants to help him in a way he was never helped.

NOOOOOOOO PLEASE TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!! TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW I’M SORRY!!!!!! DON’T MAKE ME SUFFER LIKE THIS TAKE ME OUT OF MY MISERY AT LEAST!!!!!
LMFAO THATS SO TRUE
there’s something very wrong with me, it’s called ‘I don’t want to do anything, ever’ and they said it’s chronic
My last painting project we had to use only one color with different shades. I painted Chuuya and he was pink. Glad we both agree he looks great in it.
Heres a kinda pink chuuya! Hes so pretty. I mean chuuya is always pretty!
I live for these
When Chuuya is overwhelmed, sometimes he just removes himself from the situation. Not physically leaving—just… relocating. To the ceiling. Out of reach. It’s his version of taking a deep breath. Dazai: “I take it things aren’t going well.” Chuuya, sprawled upside down, whiskey glass dangling from one hand: “…What gave it away?
Sometimes, Chuuya just ends up on the ceiling and doesn’t know how or why. One second, he’s pacing. The next? He’s upside down, staring at the floor like it personally wronged him. The worst part? It’s contagious. One time, he was ranting mid-argument, gesturing wildly, when Dazai pointed up at him and said, “You realise you’re on the ceiling, right?” Chuuya paused. Looked down. Looked back at Dazai. “God fucking dammit.”
Chuuya doesn’t storm out of arguments. He just removes himself from them. Mid-fight with Dazai? He’ll cross his arms and float straight up, glaring down like a disappointed parent.
Part 1 here
I wouldn’t be surprised if you made him wear a maid dress at this point smh
Butblike,,, whay would chuuya do if u fired him ?????????? Like,,,, does he even know how to do,, anything other than fight ?? :(.
