Genius Indeed...

14 - 20 y/o Dazai Osamu ✨

Uninstalling tumblr back. Will be back after 2 weeks and stuck in it for hours reading posts about bsd and bsd-related news...

And this is how I lost my mind. What about it is from Oda's and Mori's pov

So the Beast movie account just tweeted about Asagiri Sensei releasing a new story as benefit for the movie

“The day I picked up Osamu Dazai” and my first thought was it being about Mori finding and bringing Dazai to the PM but look at the images

That’s Dazai and Oda’s names and abilities.

Dare I hope it’s actually the story of how they met?

How can they be so cute and precious 🥺

I saw a rant about how the back and forth between Fyodor and Dazai is ridiculous at this point and like. I think that’s the point. The point is that one is not actually superior to the other in regards to intellect so they are ALWAYS going to be stuck in this cycle of ‘well I thought of/planned/predicted that!’.

The difference is in their connections and what those connections are made of. I find it fascinating actually that Fyodor thinks he’s won because he STOLE gravity away from Dazai and claimed Dazai didn’t even know how to use it when he had it! The thing is though, Chuuya doesn’t seem to be under Fyodor’s control anymore and he hasn’t ever chosen the people who try to use him like an object over Dazai. And despite the four years of separation (which was longer than their time together) he always came when Dazai expected him to.

And I’m thinking he expects him to now which would ultimately be what tips the scale in Dazai’s favor. Because where Fyodor sees a tool Dazai sees his partner. I’m also thinking Chuuya isn’t the only key to success here and that was why he chose Sigma too (if the points where he thinks about the ADA not using each other is any sort of foreshadowing).

I found a post about it's kind of hard to fit all of the arc in one season and I agree

It's really difficult starting from when Ranpo, Poe and Oguri and Agency became runaways and chased by the HD, Dazai's arrested by Jouno, Tachihara's backstory, Yosano's backstory, Dazai and Fyodor's in jail, Nikolai and Sigma, Fukuchi (I don't want to discuss this grandpa), the leader of DOA, Kunikida's jail break

Akutagawa's death, vampire outbreak, bram's reveal, Tachihara broken from the book's spell, Jouno betrayed fukuchi, Aya's reappearance, ADA's meeting, Ranpo's backup plan, ADA's counterstrike and many more that I may forgot to list.

Maybe it's good if they just split up the season and make it season 5. Where s4 ends with the reveal of DOA's leader and proceed to s5 that is vampire's outbreak and all. And if they want to animate any of the novel, I think it'll be the Origin of The Armed Detective Agency.

So everyone can be prepared...

is it true that side b takes place in beast?

You know, it’s called side “B” for a reason.

The man looked at me and smiled tilting his head. It was not a smile for me, but one for himself. Also, he seemed to smile because he didn't know what other expressions to put on. - Odasaku || Beast light novel

With the occasion of Beast vol I and II being reprinted, we get another Beast Dazai drawing~

This chapter make me feel... soft? And for mori-atsushi moments at that. It make me to like mori. Seeing mori's thought on Dazai as "I want to save him and yet I can't". And he hug Atsushi and go "until then you're my son". That's the second and the first thing that make me like Mori is his relationship with Dazai. Maybe he actually pity him? Wanting to save him? Treat him as a child?
