Now I Need Atsushi, Chuuya And Tachihara To All Become Friends And Bond Over Being Experimented On.

Now I need Atsushi, Chuuya and Tachihara to all become friends and bond over being experimented on.

Having to deal with torture, and annoying pretentious scientists monologuing about improving and bringing out their full potential.

Mori's just secretly taking notes in the corner and everyone else is horrified.

may I suggest a Chuuya pixel sprite 👀

after much procrastination here he is!! Thank you for your patience 😭🙏

dazai having an off day and being quieter than usual when suddenly one of kunikidas pens rolls across the desks and bumps into dazai’s hand and transforms into a piece of paper that’s been folded into a heart

WAIT- Why did i never noticed dazai's pain tolerance?!??

About your theories on Dazai's trauma that he didn't get from Mori, what are they?

The most backed up one I have is that it was people that worked for Dazai's parents. In No Longer Human Yozo is abused by his family's servants so it would make the most sense for Dazai to have been in a similar situation. I could make a very long post about that, but for the sake of other theories I'll stow it.

I also think it's likely the if my first theory is wrong then the main abuse Dazai faced was neglect. He doesn't know how to be a person, he knows how people act and can mimic it but he doesn't fully understand which to me, sounds like he has autism. The only thing I can't pin to the neglect theory is his pain tolerance.

In 15 Dazai hurts his arm when Chuuya kicks him around and steps on his hand. He reacts to neither. Now I am still relatively freshly not 15 (turned 16 a few months ago) so using myself and friends as a reference point, 15 year olds don't normally act like that when getting hurt. So at some point he has to have built up a pretty serious tolerance as well as a hate for pain.

This is where a lot of people like to point to Mori, say he did it. Which was one of my main theories (and still is something I use for some fics) until I talked them over with a few people and we ended up agreeing that Dazai wouldn't have been so close with Mori had that been what was happening. Also knowing Dazai he would've brought it up for clout at some point. It just doesn't make sense for him to not only be so comfortable around Mori and then never say anything.

None of that logic applies to real people, I'm saying it doesn't make sense for Dazai.

So as for who caused that, I'm not sure. I don't have a character to point at. I can say that his parents didn't come to get him after Mori found him, and as far as I know they aren't dead, so they didn't seem to care about him very much. Usually around here is when I circle back to "people who work for his parents" because it has more ties. But maybe a family friend or a parent or a sibling did it, those are all very possible abd make more sense than Mori.

dazai who needs glasses for distance, but never wears them.

chuuya who has matching compression gloves with kunikida.

dazai who sets up dates.

kunikida who doesnt quite understand his own issues, but gets that theres something wrong with him.

chuuya and dazai, who really do try and help kunikida find out whats wrong.

no diagnosis is given, not yet, but its a start.

Bsd except Atsushi recognises Sigma.

Because 3 years ago while he was at the the Orphanage, Atsushi wrote in an empty book about how much he wished he had a friend.

And wrote about them going on adventures together.

Sigma smiling at Atsushi as he falls like I'm glad I got to finally meet you, Atsushi.
