Synonyms or Antonyms: Dazai and Dostoevsky

From the moment they meet within Bungou Stray Dogs, Dazai and Fyodor are set up as foils. 

Foil Definition. In literature, a foil is a character that shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualities of another character. The objective is to highlight the traits of the other character.

That is to say from the moment they are drawn in panel together, the audience is naturally meant to compare and contrast them. Their entire first scene plays their similarities and differences up. First, Dazai dresses as Fyodor not only as a joke but to draw the eye to how similar they are, both of them dark haired skinny males with pale complexions who wear overcoats. 

Dazai explains he was able to predict where Fyodor would end up, because if he were in the same situation it was what he would do. When he says that, Fyodor shows Dazai the same smile he showed him earlier, like Dazai is looking in a mirror. 

Dazai and Dotsoevsky are able to read each other so well, knowing the other like they know themselves. Which allows both of them to continually one up the other and predict the other’s movements. However their relationship extends far beyond ‘Being the same’, or just the fact that they’re both highly skilled manipulators who are able to pull off complex plans. It’s even much more than Dazai and Fyodor are just smarter than everybody else in a way that isolates them. They are each other’s inverse in almost every way while appearing to be exactly the same. I’ll elaborate in detail beneath the cut.

SIBLING SHENANIGANS!!!!!

It makes me laugh how Moomintroll is getting bigger and bigger and Snufkin is getting smaller, it seems like everyone should soon start calling him Little Snus

dude really started wearing platforms Moomin`s height started to humiliate him lol

skk showing up to a fight only to be completely unserious & just watch sskk fight while critiquing them just feels so canon, skk take nothing seriously 😭

And not Chuuya saying they don’t have enough *attitude* STOP 😭 skk said sass levels aren’t high enough

Oda's death becomes even more tragic when you realize Dazai did get there in time to save him.

The first time.

After Ango's betrayal, Dazai reached Oda in time to save him from the poison. Dazai probably spent that night thinking he was going to lose Oda, he sat by his bedside until he woke up again. Sure, he played it cool, like he was just there to update Oda when he woke up, but anyone could have done that.

Dazai stayed, because for awhile he probably didn't know if Oda would ever wake up again.

But he did and Dazai saved him and he could finally let go of the dread clutching his heart, because he made it.

He was on time. He saved Oda.

The first time.

It’s just full au brainrot.

Reigen fully taking in another emotionally constipated teen, being a dad without realizing it. Teruki and Saiki do NOT get along very fast. And some small Mob and Saiki sillies :3

And my first time drawing Kuriko! I love her so dearly X3

Something i made to celebrate catching up on the manga :}

a comic about wine, a wager, and reconnecting through your weird kids

-

this behemoth of a comic is finally done - and just in time for zoros birthday huehue. initially i wanted to make a zolu introspective from an outsider POV and was like you know who would have really funny input on this … mihawk. and then it spiraled into seven pages of mishanks sitting and talking. i thought it would be funny if mishanks ended up doing self imposed couples therapy the day mihawk brought luffys bounty bc well. its kind of hilarious to think abt mihawk realizing shanks was onto something all those years ago after he meets zoro and luffy. like sure this new generation is batshit crazy but my god are they cooking. anyways. cheers. get some kids

When the Mafia Accidentally Read a Story Written on a Whim and Got Transported to an Alternate Universe by Kino Hinoki 

(Bungou Stray Dogs Third Official Anthology ~Rin~ )

Translation: @ce-la Raws: @mirei191 Typesetting: Me!

Sorry if the quality seems poor or it’s hard to read because of the typesetting and cleaning. This chapter was a lot of fun! I really liked it!

I’ve said the same thing in a lot more words before. You want the Warners to be in-character?

They are smart but not logical. They are wise but immature. They are refined but chaotic. And they are well-meaning but mischievous.

These are the things that make them extremely flexible characters, as well as interesting, endearing, and cute. They’re kids who aren’t kids and adults who aren’t adults.
