Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

it’s weird when people act like mori would regularly torture dazai and/or chuuya for funsies. even ignoring that he does hold some affection for them why would he risk losing two of his strongest subordinates like that? why would he send them on missions while they’re injured??

dazai was clearly fine interacting with mori until the whole oda thing went down. and we know dazai is very clear about him being the only one allowed to make chuuyas life more difficult than it needs to be so he wouldn’t just stand by and watch if this ever happened

also how would you even explain that chuuya is perfectly happy hanging out with mori? he’s clearly not expecting any harm and y’all can’t tell me that chuuya "that’s more than a light wound" nakahara would ever happily spend his time with mori if he ever did actually torture dazai

Who wants to join the crusade of hunting down Aya’s dad?

Anyone who says an author knows what they’re doing is full of shit

For every BSD fan freaking out over ep. 6. Buckle up kiddies, it only gets worse from here

I have to stop being surprised at how fast the BSD fandom churns out content

Dostoevsky: Uno reverse

Dazai: Bitch

it got complicated really quickly

Wtf??? “I’m not gay” There are literal sparkles coming out of your eye man

Dazai listening to Taylor Swift at full volume like the dramatic bitch he is whenever something mildly inconveniences him and making Kunikida's life a living hell

I know Hirotsu had gray hair before meeting Dazai and Chuuya but the idea of him getting it all dealing with Soukoku is infinitely more hilarious

We can fight all we want for the title of #1 Chuuya fan but we all know it’s Kenji

ASAGIRI THERE HAS TO BE A LIMIT

Ok, but for real, Chuuya would simultaneously be the best and worst dog owner. He'd spoiled it to no end and next thing he'll know, he’ll have a lovable chubby boi that can't listen to commands to save it's life. I love it

Exquisite

"what if Chuuya joined the Armed Detective Agency with Dazai?"

My version of an AU where Chuuya left the mafia "with" Dazai and joined the ADA "with" Dazai and Taneda thinks he's hilarious (he's right)
