I love codependent freakish iwaoi so much… give me the toxic!! give me the insane!! give me the relationship that ruins the life of everybody else around them and ultimately may get them killed!! please!!!

Since getting into Bungo Stray Dogs and it becoming my special interest, I’ve learned a lot of things about the characters and books they come from.

This whole blog may suddenly be character analysis and I’m not ashamed of that in any way. I’m happy to take criticism (as long as it’s polite) on my takes and head cannons.

And as I found some of my things beginning to get more than two like I figured I’d take the time to explain a few things and introduce myself as a whole.

Hi!

We’re the Camilla Collective!

A traumagenic DID system (yes we have a formal diagnosis) with autism and a big special interest in this silly little show.

I’m not going to list ever alter we have, but you can tell by the emote sign off. I may leave names and not descriptions; but feel free to ask questions [politely].

Some of our head cannons to the show do relate to the fact that we have many fictives and interjects related to bsd.

We have a lot of things to say and are happy to see them going further than before.

Ignore the other message- not letting you hide this (shh I didn’t use the wrong blog)

This pride month let's also try changing the wrong perception of English speaking bsd audience about Mori.

Mori is not a pedophile in bsd, neither was he irl. He was asexual and misunderstood, the exact sort of misunderstanding Asagiri created.

Mori's book vita sexualis might be scandalizing in name but on reading, you will discover how it's just about an asexual person coming to terms with that very fact.

Stop villainizing Mori in such a perverted way- I am not in any means defending the other things he's done- but he wasn't a rapist or pedophile.

It's a translation error, a cultural divergence.

The Japanese audience understands the way Mori's being portrayed. He is as complex as Dazai or any other bsd character. Stop putting him under pedophile category and dismissing him.

What does this mean??? Ryo what does this mean?? DO NOT CANNIBALIZE THE BUNNIE

I love the slap

I love it sm and I'm so glad asagiri added it.

A lot of people tend to either justify or shame Dazai for this but they are missing the point of that scene.

Dazai had JUST been confronted by the PM. One new member that only knows Dazai through what she has been told and one old member who has seen what he is capable of. They both agree that he is still the same person. They both open the door for him and say, "there's no changing. You'll always be a PM member. You will always be destructive."

When he comes back he sees two things. He sees Kyusaku: his first failure as a mentor, a direct consequence of his cruelty and malice. Then he sees Atsushi, the young man he is trying to imbue with as much good nature as he can using his ability to choke a defenseless coworker. That whole scene just proves Higuchi and Gin right.

He wanted to. He tried his hardest but the product is the same. He pushes people until they lose control and hurt others. He's been doing it since the PM and he was doing it with Atsushi. When Atsushi is freed he is still without control. He's spiraling and as terrified of his ability as he had been when Dazai first found him.

All at once Dazai realizes how little he has done to change things and how his past, just because he left it, doesn't stop having consequences. That entire scene is Dazai's fault. He put every character there on a path to end up there. It's horrifying for him, it's demoralizing and discouraging. YEARS of personal growth have amounted to NOTHING. He's scared so he falls back on strategies he knows will work. He slaps Atsushi.

It's such a monumental loss for him because he was making an active effort for so long not to be physical with ANYONE. But he regresses. He realizes that Higuchi was right. He is still PM deep down.

It is that scene that marks Dazai's decision to keep Kyusaku alive. He could keep using violence to try and fix all his mistakes but he would never grow from it. He chooses to let Kyusaku live because he wants to be different and he wants that for Kyu as well. After this Dazai takes a much less active role in Atsushi's development. After this when Atsushi loses control over his emotions Dazai is kind, gentle and reassuring.
