I Feel Like A Lot Of People Misunderstand The Relationship Between Verlaine And Chuuya. There's A Lot

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the relationship between Verlaine and Chuuya. There's a lot of argument over whether they're biologically brothers or not. That's not the point. The point is how they came into the world and their unnatural birth. Or, at least, how Verlaine perceives it. He sees both him and Chuuya as artificial beings that will never be human no matter how hard they may try, so they may as well stop trying to fit in with these disgusting humans and just find solace in each other. He calls Chuuya his brother because he feels like he's the only one who can truly understand what he's going through. Their "brothership" stems from their shared existence as artificial beings. This is why Chuuya rejects it so violently at first. He doesn't want to be anything like the man who slaughtered his friends. He wants to be human.

Then, throughout the book, Chuuya comes to accept that however he came into this world, naturally or otherwise, he chooses to be human, and that's what it's important. His actions are what make him human. Verlaine learns this, too, but it's already far too late. He, too, had the chance to be human, but he was too focused on the possibility of being inhuman instead of actually trying to be a good person or to accept the care and support of his friend, Rimbaud, and now, he's gone. That is the tragedy of his story. He always had the opportunity to be human, but he threw it away for the sake of anger and hatred.

Only when they have both learned this lesson that Chuuya accepts Verlaine as his brother. Not because they're biologically related or anything, but because they do have this shared experience with one another, and he's here for him. Not because he forgives him for what he did. But because he has an opportunity to be better.

I love stormbringer. It's so good. Anyone reading this who hasn't read it, READ IT!! IF YOU LIKE CHUUYA AT ALL, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HIS CHARACTER!

Hello everyone.🥹

No because I don’t think we as a fandom talk enough about the orphanage points system.

Because what the fuck?

What do you mean these kids have to rack up enough points to be able to eat?????

And the one who loses points the most is Atsushi who is already routinely starved.

Like Atsushi had no one, the staff hate him and the kids bully and terrorise him so that they can survive.

It doesn’t matter if he’s actually at fault or not because he’ll never be believed by anyone. It’s why the hammer incident happened because some kids accused him of stealing.

Not only was Atsushi abandoned by his parents but he was never able to rely on anyone. He was terrified and hurting and no one cared.

Everyone around him was using him for their own gain. It didn’t matter if he was hurt because he’s Atsushi.

And that’s been his reality for at minimum 7 years which to put that into perspective is the same amount of time that Chuuya’s been with the Port Mafia.

That’s Fifteen, Stormbringer, the Dragons Head incident, the creation of and the reunion of Soukoku.

That’s insane.

It really says a lot about the “survival of the fittest” mentality of the headmaster.

Just imagine Atsushi trying to save up enough points at the Agency because he doesn’t question that it would be different here.

And everyone having to tell him that he doesn’t have to earn the right to eat or sleep or any other basic necessity.

Which I’m sure all feeds into Atsushi feeling like he needs permission to live.

It’s such a tragic and yet important part of his upbringing that I would love to see explored more.

That and the whole thing of Atsushi not being allowed to own his own possessions and things. And how suddenly having money, having a place to live.

Learning it’s okay that he can buy things and own things without.

Also just the heartbreaking realisation that the only thing that Atsushi has that belonged to him is his ability.

And they took that from him too.

Given his past, I imagine Chuuya's relationship with his birthday must be a bit unusual. To him, his birthday is a sign of his own humanity, a sign that he is a human born like everyone else, and not just a clone created in a lab. He also only found out about his birthday because of the flags, so this is also a symbol of his friendship with them, and how much they cared for him, being able to go against Mori's orders just to give Chuuya the knowledge about his own origin, the thing he desired the most
