It’s so funny when people draw aku smoking like guys, please, he’s literally dying

Here me out

The fact that part of a person's like will or feelings if its super strong will stay with fyodor when he takes over gave me a thought

What if fyodors original goal was never rid the whole world of abilities? What if it was just to get rid of his own ability? Like if when his ability activated for the first time after being killed because of someone trying to rob him or something in ye olden days, he hated his own ability. Like it happened, he didnt know what happened, and he went back to his house, and his family just looked at him terrified. Fyodor was still fyodor, but not quite the fyodor they knew. What if originally he saw and knew how precious abilities were to others, and thought that his was the only one was the one that had to be destroyed, because it defied the very nature of life and ruined meaning for trying so hard to live well? He tried his hardest to let himself just die normally, but no matter what, he was murdered, often times in revenge. As time went on, he kept getting killed by corrupt or insane people, their intense hatred of the world around them, no doubt some had an intense hatred for abilities too, and that stuck with fyodor. Every time it got stronger, to the point where it warped his own wishes and perception of life. That's when it went from his ability to all abilities.

We do know actually, that Dazais body is canonly covered in scars and injuries, that is something that has been confirmed in the dark era light novel.

Why Dazai wears bandages could have multiple reasons.

He could either cover these scars because he doesn't want anyone to to see his injuries and take pity on him or feel bad for him, and possibly ask intrusive questions, as I think it would make him feel very uncomfortable. Like, jovial, lighthearted dazai works so hard to keep that fassade up, I just know he hates it if people pitied him..

I also believe that Dazai has shown to be very uncomfortable when it comes to other people getting too much into his privacy or his personal life, he tends to be a very closed off person who can't deal with others intruding the depths of his emotions, and I also think he doesn't really know how to respond to these things- that could be another reason Dazai uses bandages, they provide him with some closure.

(Notice how every time somebody asks him why he wears bandages he makes up some grand funny reason that's so obviously fake that it catches people off guard, and completely distracts them from the question. see in the first ever omake.)

Since a lot of injuries and scars seem to come from his days in the mafia, he might also want to cover them up as to not be reminded of his days filled with darkness or to potentially have to answer questions about how he got those scars (in the mafia.)

I think all of these reason are quite in character ways for dazai to act, and at the end of the day I guess, we can only theorize lol.

So does Dazai actually have a bunch of scars (self inflicted and other) under his bandages or is that just something we as a fandom collectively made up and agreed on like a mutual headcanon?

I mean I see where that would come from it makes sense to the point where I have 100% accepted that as canon (and I think literally anybody else too) I just wonder if there is concrete evidence that’s he has scars (I haven’t read all of the manga yet) or has it been confirmed?

"You said normal girls were boring, but when I told you about my Fyodor obsession you were gone by the morning 🙄"

Ok but the implication that Fyodor inherits the personality traits of the people who kill him is extremely messed up when you think about it. And considering how old he is it's very likely his original personality has been completely taken over by this point, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Fyodor doesn't actually have a grand master plan but is instead working with a hodgepodge of half baked ideas culminated by his past vessels over the centuries.

Especially when you consider that these new desirers seem to effect him strongly, with him not giving two shits about Aya until he took over Bram and now suddenly he's yandere levels obsessed with her.
