SHE'S BACK!! SHE'S BACK!! SHE'S BACK!!

*me looking at Rouge* “you will be so girlboss”

Their designs are so good I almost forgot they are horrible people

“Chuuya is the second choice”

Let me prove you wrong:

1.The flags

Went against the bosses orders to give chuuya a good gift (his past) and also risked their lives for chuuya.

2.Verlaine

“He would chose Rimbaud” bro literally shot this man just so chuuya would be safe.

3.Murase

Wanted to return chuuya to the world of light

4.Adam

Programmed himself to put chuuya before anything and risked his life for chuuya (he came back though, I’m happy)

5.Kouyou

I honestly hate when people say she would choose Kyouka as if she can’t love two people equally. Like are we reading the same thing? She cares about chuuya a lot.

6.Dazai

“But Oda....” no shut up

the relationship that dazai has with oda and chuuya are two completely different things. Dazai just fulfilled a promise from a dead friend. Dazai trust chuuya with his life.

Douma really, really did not want to go home.

This was the first meeting of the Upper Moons in 113 years, and Douma was here for it. All he wanted to do was talk to everybody, talking and talking, even when he's not being listened to. He forgave any insult and injury, and his attempts to hang out with the Upper Moons after the work meeting reeks of desperation, even turning to Nakime at the end.

The only other people he's interacted with in between meetings are his followers and his unlucky victims, so his fellow Upper Moons are the only beings in existence remotely like and equal to him in any respect. They are the only beings he can form any real sort of bond with.

The problem is that Douma has no idea what a real bond looks like. He's been surrounded by brainless sycophants for more than a century. The closest he ever got was Kotoha, and we know how that turned out.

Douma was, I think, genuinely ecstatic to have an opportunity to become closer to his fellow Upper Moons, and annoyed when they all turned him down. Even if the moment was played for laughs, I think there's a part of it that's sad in hindsight, knowing Douma's backstory.

my current top 3 favs in one piece and me forcing them to interact bc that's super unlikely to happen in canon right now

Going fucking insane about Dragon and Kuma today mayhaps!!!

(One Piece ch1101 Spoilers)

We know he has been watching Luffy over the years so he obviously cares and this is not surprising in the slightest. However, I think this scene is extremely important. Because it verbally confirms how much Dragon cares about Luffy. Luffy is his weak spot. And perhaps it's just my own issues but damn, hearing Dragon say this makes me go insane. And after seeing Kuma going through all that torture to protect Bonney? The mutual understanding between fathers? I'm going to cry.

Ok, I'm convinced at this point that instead of teaching English, schools should just start getting their students into bsd, because honestly, the effects are about the same.

Like, what is this fandom??? As far as anime go, it's sort of known, but it's not even close to mainstream, and then you join the fandom to discover that it's actually huge.

-The fans will write five thousand word analyses, complete with textual evidence, about anything and everything, and they'll all be more well written and deeper than their thematic essay for English class.

-They won't even think twice about reading a bunch of classics to understand their favorite characters, and then they'll happily write you an analysis of a Japanese classic written in the mid-twentieth century and how it connects to their favorite character. They'll casually read Crime and Punishment, a book english teachers have no hope of having their students read in general, let alone for fun, and they'll do it and then give their theories about how it may connect to the villain's powers. They also end up just getting into classic literature in general.

-Ask them to give a summary of the book they had to read, they'll stare at you blankly, but ask them about the chain of abuse vs the savoir chain and you will hear a psychological breakdown on the concept of abuse, and how different characters treat others differently because etc etc etc.

-Not even the top criminal defense lawyer could compete with a bungou stray dogs fan explaining why Chuuya Nakahara, a man who is an executive in the Mafia, a man who has killed many people, has gotten involved in smuggling and all sorts of illegal activities, is actually a good person and deserves all the sunlight and happiness in the world.

-And the art that comes out of it??? The fanfictions, the fanart, the edits- I've read fanfiction that made me feel more than a published book ever will. Seen fanart that belongs in a museum, and the edits are some of the coolest stuff known to man.

-And they're just so low key??? Like seriously, don't teach English, teach bungou stray dogs. You'd get better results that way.

this is so important actually. the image and voice of dazai, one of the smartest people atsushi knows, manifested by atsushi's mind telling him that he knows something dazai doesn't. he can do what dazai can't. he's smart enough to save everyone, despite his doubts about himself. and he knows it, even if he needs a voice that isn't his own to say it to him.
