@radiant-7 No Historical Proof?! Yasuke Was A Real Living, Breathing Person! He Was Alive In The 1500s

My favorite thing about humans is that they'll pack bond with literally anything. Even when we make something that's just a tool to use, something that doesn't think, sometimes doesn't even move, some human will get attached, and it becomes something precious. We make monsters meant to frighten and scare only for someone to find it friend shaped and loveable. We see it everywhere in fantasy and Sci-Fi. Dragons, demons, robots, aliens from distant worlds. Hell, we pack bond with words on a page or images on a screen because we innately want to connect even if it's with characters that don't even exist.

Despite so many of us hating the forced proximity of the modern world, myself included, I can't help but find it adorable how we're so desperate for a pack, so desperate not to be alone, that we can connect with anything.

I understand that you can get burnt out from anything, but there's something ... hollow? about being burned out on what you love. Like, I get that I need to step away from writing sometimes. That I need this burnout period to recharge. But I hate the numbness that comes with it. How bloody unproductive I feel. I can't focus. I can't do anything. I feel like a tiger pacing the length of its cage up and down. Up and down. Over and over. I know there's a point where the bucket is empty, and you gotta let it refill before you can proactively use it, but I hate waiting around for that spark to come back to life. Ya know?

Love your writing!

Thank you! 💜💜💜 I should be posting more soon!

So, realistically, how much do we think Dazai actually plans versus him just being really good at taking advantage of any situation/getting lucky and just claiming he had a plan all along? Just him being like:

Dazai: "Everything's going according to plan."

Insert Chatacter Here: "Everything's literally on fire."

Dazai, not expecting to get this far in life let alone this situation: "Which was my plan all along. Obviously. Keep up."

I think it would be adorable if Jeremy started playing songs with French lyrics in them to make Jean feel more at home. Or if Jeremy secretly learned French to surprise Jean. Either scenario would be cute.

“I was minding my own business, taking advantage of the hot springs around here, and that little fucker inked me!”

Or one of the many shenanigans that happened while the Thirteen Great Warriors were climbing the Tower.

Does Fyodor know how old Dazai is? Like, I imagine Dazai looks older than he is just from the everything in his life. So, does Fyodor know he’s 22 or does he think he's older? If someone told him, would "I've lived multiple lifetimes" Fyodor just be like, "What do you mean my intellectual equivalent is a fucking child??"

Happy New Year, my lovelies! Lets see what fuckery we can get into this year.

Handcuffs are completely useless when it comes to Soukoku. Dazai appears to be an expert at lockpicking and can escape whenever he feels like it. And if Chuuya can't just break the cuffs, the dude spent almost eight years fighting with his hands in his pockets, so he doesn't really need 'em. So, overall assessment: handcuffs are completely useless on Soukoku.

During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.

Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.

Not that Dazai cares ... right?
