Hear me out what if we didn’t post leaks
For those of you who may not be too familiar with the manga, during ch39: Portrait of a Father, Akutagawa shows up, as Dazai's informant, to give Atsushi documents about who the orphanage headmaster was and what happened to him.
At that moment, Akutagawa shows an uncharacteristic clemency towards Atsushi, saying that "Atsushi's master died today", and compares this to his own relationship with Dazai.
This was a long time ago now, and a lot has happened since. The Cannibalism arc is right after this, where they are very antagonistic towards each other, and includes this scene:
Akutagawa, despite his bitterness towards Atsushi for who he is to Dazai, has seen how similar they are in this sense. Atsushi hasn't, because his gratefulness towards Dazai prevents him from seeing that Akutagawa's experience was completely different with this same person. (he's also not given any time by the narrative to wonder about it)
but then just came along chapter 122!!!
Atsushi gets to see, 1:1, the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai. For the first time, Akutagawa is relatable to him.
And of course, at the end, Atsushi calls out the illusion as being the headmaster wearing Dazai's face because we are closing this loop! We are forcing Atsushi to see Akutagawa the same way Akutagawa has been seeing him!
it's weird being 24 years old and still not over being ostracized in middle school
When Lucifer is hanging out at his palace and can't get a moment's peace...
the amount of accounts of joshes characters are just feeding into my delusions
Prime! Asher: "Do you think we're soulmates in every universe?"
Prime! David: "We're both engaged to different people, Ash, what do you mean?"
Imp! Asher: "Do you think we're soulmates in every universe?"
Imp! David: "I'm dead, Asher."
just realized it’s ok if i’m depressed or feel bad or whatever cus that’s life
like my experiences as a human being on this earth so far are collectively trial and error
i’m figuring out how to deal with myself, my emotions, my surroundings, everything in existence
i’m gonna fuck up and that’s ok
cus i’m growing and learning and eventually i’ll get there and if i don’t that’s ok too
i’ll still have memories of everything before and those count for something too
