Chuuya With Dazai

Chuuya with Dazai

“They say the murderer trapped the souls of his victims in the photos he took. What do you think, Atsushi-kun? Seems like a fun way to die~”

“… Sure. But the murderer stopped and he was never found, right?”

“Hah! It won’t be that way for long. His identity is as good as found now that I’m here!”

indelibly fated

So I'm rewatching bsd and I have some thoughts about Atsushis "father" ep

Dazai needed this to happen almost as much as atsushi did

Dazai needed to know how much this would hurt atsushi because of akutagawa. Dazai is starting to set up a team up between atsushi and Aku which will need him to interact with Aku a lot. Dazai knows how wrong it was what he did and even tho the orphanage was way more brutal than he was Dazai needed to know what the other end would do if they wanted forgiveness or to try and make up for their past fuckedupidness

It won't be the same but Dazai will have an idea on what Aku might go through interacting with him again (And might find out ways he could ease that pain for Aku)

Dazai wants to be careful around Aku, he knows he is way too important to Aku for him to disobey or leave him so the reason behind Dazai doing this was because he genuinely wants to change for the better and is desperate to believe he is capable of that, this is a huge step for him and he wants to be careful not to mess up because that would mean he is as bad as he believes he rlly is and he has spent the last few years trying his hardest to be someone that can help people and to make sure he is someone oda would be happy to see

my favorite sskk trope is ppl like akutagawa’s acquaintances meeting atsushi and being flabbergasted that the sweetest, purest, softest, can do no wrong-est guy is with mr grumpy pants and no one believing akutagawa when he says that atsushi is actually feral

so essentially ppl having a very soft baby boy uwu perspective of atsushi just becuz he’s sweet and smiles a lot and so on 

but akutagawa obviously knows atsushi since theyre dating so he’s like ‘guys. guys no. guys yesterday i told him he should eat something other than chazuke and he tried to bite me. guys. guys please believe me.’
