Atsushi: Kunikida-Kun, why don't we let Dazai drive anymore?
Kunikida: I once let him travel a little far for a business trip & he texted me that he hit a speed bump on the highway.
Kunikida: I, then, wondered which person he hit.
Atsushi: No one can blame you for acting the way you do, Dazai-San... You're human too
Dazai: Repeat that disgusting slander & you'll be hearing from my lawyers.
KUNIKIDA IS DEAD. I AM DROPPING THE MANGA.
the (almost) complete Bungou Stray Dogs reading list
as a dostoyevsky fan i first discovered bsd by being very confused whenever i saw pretty anime boys in the crime and punishment tag, so now i’m using bsd to discover more classic literature, and you can too!

I like to think that somewhere in the agency there's a little photo album of the members
It started as a Fukuzawa-Ranpo-Yosano family photo album but then a picture of kunikida got thrown in there and some of Katai.
Theres at least one picture of everyone. When looking through it it's pretty clear when someone new joined since there's so many of them for a bit and then it fades back into group pictures.
Kenji gives them some pictures of him as a kid on his farm. There's pictures of all of the major achievements each one did, entrance exams, first cases, katais last case of actually being there, a couple of birthdays and agency holiday parties. Atsushi and kyouka's wanted posters are in there. Dazais gets added after a while, but they struggled to track it down.
Maybe at some point they start gaining little pictures of the members lovers as well, a few of ranpo with poe (and Karl ofc) they manage to get one of Chuuya and Dazai, a really blurry one of Akutagawa and Atsushi.
They're one big, happy, complicated family and it's great.

post canon
I’m new to the fandom- I’ve almost finished watching the anime and I’m going to read the manga next- so please don’t kill me if it’s really overdone .
Bungou Stray Dogs as some of my favorite Epithet Erased quotes:
Dazai: Mano a mano! Pistol to pistol! Ugly rat man vs the... grossest face I can make while fighting!
Fyodor: You know, I do have feelings.
————————
Atsushi: He's trying to lure me into a false sense of security! Well, joke's on him! I've never been secure in my life! And I'm not about to start now!
————————
Kunikda: I promised I'd work myself to death by the age of 35! Anything less means I wasn't trying hard enough!
————————
Tachihara: Listen here, Mr. Assassin-
Gin: Miss.
Tachihara: Oh! O-oh my gosh, I am SO sorry.
Gin: It's quite alright! Please, continue with your threat.
Tachihara: Oh, right. Thank you.
————————
Kyouka: I wish my mom was a ghost. She's just dead.
————————
Dazai: Aww, c'mon man! Be cool.
Kunikida: Everyone knows the coolest thing to be... is an upright citizen.
Dazai: LAAAAME!
————————
Akutagawa: (regarding Atsushi passing out) Did he just pass out from the shock? What a weenie. Half of my bones are broken and you don't hear me complaining!...much.
————————
Kouyou: [The woman steps forward and unsheathes a real ass, goddamn sword and points it at them.]
————————
Chuuya: How did you manage to crash my car in the TEN MINUTES I was gone?!
Dazai: I don't know, man! It's not my fault!
Chuuya: Dude, you've crashed five cars in the same year? I think you're the common denominator at that point!
Dazai: (whining) THE ROAD WAS WIGGLY!!
