Bsd Dazai - Blog Posts
I really need Dazai to meet this sexy coming-out-of-an-isekai ass version of Chuuya. Imagine his reaction.
Chuuya could have been such a sexy mofo with a sword but instead we got Chuuya as a sexy mofo without a sword. 😒
The sword getting rejected is peak lesbophobia.
Spiderman!Chuuya au placed in Yokohama with no abilities some folks call him Spider-Sheep for some reason
Bonus! for him and his bf:

SB memes because we need more of them and because I don't have a life (pt 1?)
I need people to remember that bsd is NOT a shonen it's a seinen, it's not black and white or good and evil. Shonens are simple arts that delivers things straightforwardly but seinen puts things in a way that make you stew on it to realise what they were conveying.
The characters aren't 100% good or 100% evil, Dazai? Even though he's TRYING to be good he still resorts to blackmail and torture as shown in the main series and the 55 novel.
Atsushi as well, he's not just an innocent cinnamon roll, he killed Shibusawa and basically went "he deserved it tho" when he remembered. Oh, and remember his fight with Akutagawa on the cargo ship? He punched him in to a burning, drowning ship with no regard to whether Akutagawa died or not.
Another one I always see is Mori and boy do the fic writers love to make him an evil villain that LoVes making others suffer purely for entertainment, like no, he did not make Oda go on a suicide mission to hurt Dazai, he did it because it was the most optimal solution. But There are other better analysis on that so I won't dig into it.
Every character has their own childhoods, trauma and personalities.
Heck, the Organisations as wholes aren't goodie good hero and bad evil villain arggg, the PM keeps the underground in check to protect Yokohama. the ADA, like kunikida says aren't do gooders the go around feeding orphans But they have saved the city countless times. And the special division do what governments do, They uphold the order.
Making the characters one dimensional and one note not only is disrespectful to the original work but makes being in the fandom harder for everyone.
TL;DR bsd isn't so simple, it's a seinen. there's layers to everything in bsd, the characters, organisations, motives, clothes, etc. etc.
Ya know what surprised me? Finding out Chuuya canonically has difficulty dealing with children and Dazai canonically being super good with them.

First Asagiri calls Dazai a donut now he has fyodor call Atsushi a bookmark. Can't have Humans in Bsd Smh
Just woke up thinking about this and I need tumblr to be my therapist for a second because I just need to explain my thoughts.
When I first watched BSD (Bungo Stray Dogs), I was ok with Ranpo. I didn't like nor dislike him until I saw his backstory. The story that made most fans cry made me feel so...unsettled. It was like looking in a mirror and it scared me.
I never believed in kinning before him. Relating to an anime character? A BSD one at that? I feel like people are just projecting because it's their favorite character. Those were my thoughts. But then I met Ranpo.
I understood him. I felt what that felt like when I saw his backstory. I felt like part of me was on the screen. For the first time ever, I felt truly related to someone on the screen. It scared me a lot. I kinned a person. RANPO AT THAT.
Actually seeing a part of me I activley try to ignore and deny was a slap to the face for me. It scared me. So for a while, I avoided him. I avoided media or fan content with him in it. Of course, he's in the show, so I can't avoid him forever though. I didn't like him because he scared me.
My entire life I felt like I couldn't connect with people. Not as in I couldn't be friends with anyone, though, that is also true. I didn't understand anyone around me. To me, I was a human. I was sentient, capable of complex thoughts, and I was able to lie and "control the 'people' around me". Looking back, that was a stupid sentiment.
I was human and everyone around me was an npc. That was pretty scary for me. I didn't understand the difference between us as a child. Though I knew that everyone around me was something other than me, I only saw me and them. And if I just said a simple hello, it could become us. I miss that.
When I met Ranpo on screen, it was the moment he said it was like they were all monsters that scared me. There was something he didn't have. Something he didn't understand. That's what he thought, but in reality, it's that he's the one who has something that everyone else doesn't.
For me, it truly was just something I didn't have. And for my whole life, I've been trying to figure it out. What makes them different from me? It didn't make any sense. Everyone understood something that I didn't. Everyone had this "rule" to being a human being that I didn't know about. And that was scary.
Dazai was a bit different for me. I loved him from day -30. Literally. I watched complimations of him being stupid months before I watched the show. Years even. I didn't kin him at all and he was just a silly but complicated guy for me. But then I noticed something after realizing I kinned Ranpo.
My whole life I felt that I was the only human and everyone around me was an npc. But really, it was more that everyone around me was a human and I was...something else. I didn't know what. But it wasn't human. I mean, obviously I am physically and in every scientific way, human, but there's something missing, y'know?
Thinking about it makes me feel so cringe but I really can't explain it any other way.
I don't consider myself a Dazai kinnie because even I can't completely understand the reason he thinks himself not human. I just related a small bit to the sentiment.
So as a um...thing hiding itself as a human, I felt exposed when I was confronted with Ranpo. I eventually came to terms with it and now I like Ranpo. Though he still unsettles me because of the similarity.
So yeah. That was my vent. :)
Dazai Chronicles Ep 4
Just click on it for better quality
If you're wondering why it looks a bit ummmm different in each part, it's cuz I drew them quite the time away. It took maybe a month gap to do the second one? But yeah, Chuuya's turn has been served. According to the poll, Ranpo should ne next. Also, no clue why the quality went down on tumbler, but I don't know how to fix it sooooo :/
A complimation of EVERY bsd art I've ever done (except for the Dazai Chronicles)
Ok this one doesn't really count because it's an animation, that I have yet to finish, but here's a screenshot.
The order is the 1st one, the 4th one, the 3rd one, the 5th one, the 2nd one, the 8th one, the 7th one, and then the 6th one from oldest to newest. Couldn't figure out how to put it in order sooo. :/
I love looking back at old art and just seeing how far I've come. Sometimes I feel like I just suck at art and that I'll never improve or be how I want to be, but then I look back and realize I'm just being stupid. I already improved such a significant amount from when I first started. Why can't I improve now?
When it comes to art, people like to put limits on themselves, but honestly, there are no limits with art. It's something almost anyone can do. I say almost because the only people who literally can't make visual art are people paralyzed from the neck down or dead people. I've seen blind people make art. I've seen people with no arms make art. I've seen people who are blind and have no arms make art. Ok, that's not true, but I'm sure a blind and armless artist exists somewhere.
You will never be your best at art because with every drawing, you improve. To you, it may look ugly today, but in a year, it'll be so much better. This post isn't a very good example because I lack consistensy in my style, and so it looks worse sometimes, but still.
Also, can you tell that I like Chuuya and Dazai? I tried drawing Atsushi and Aktugawa once but um. I didn't finish that. Oh but, I also tried making a Lucy x Atsushi animatic if that counts. I didn't finish that either.
Guess who's still crying about Beast? Me! I watched the movie and read the beggining and end of the light novel because I got lazy. Not expecting the end in the movie though. Spoiler drawing ahead and comments btw
Made me so sad. I was going to rant in another post, but I might as well do it here.
So, number one, the sugar cube scene was so adorable I literally cried. I mean it. Like I LITERALLY sobbed.
Number 2, Oda WHYYYYYYYY?! I'M LITERALLY CRYING WHILE TYPING WRITE NOW THINKING ABOUT IT. YOU ARE FRIENDS, YOU ARE, PLEASEEEE. DAZAI'S FACE WHEN HE PULLED THE GUN OUT IN THE BAR AND TOLD HIM NOT TO CALL HIM ODASAKU WAS LIKE A SLAP TO THE FACE.
Number 3, When at the end of the movie, Fyoder was being a little rat and messed everything up, I wanted to vomit out of an array of emotions. I was confused, sad, angry, and just so dang overwhelmed. Like I was ugly crying five seconds ago cuz of Dazai and then this SEWER RAT came and made me confused. I'll get into him in anothe post.
Number 4, In the movie, when Dazai stabbed his leg to show Chuuya his commitment and how much he deserves his trust didn't make sense when I saw it, however, after I recently read the book and watched the play Julius Ceaser, I was like OOOOOOOOH. Dazai immitating Portia and Chuuya Brutus made me just sooo....wow.
Number 5, When it turned out that MORI was the new director I just- absolutley NOT. Do NOT put a pedophile in his perfect Utopia, Dazai WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! Also, I thought he killed him the whole time. Just think about it. A pedophile in an orphanage. You know how if you're being sexually assulted or something, you're supposed to tell a trusted adult like a parentor a teacher? THESE KIDS HAVE NO PARENTS.
Number 6, Chuuya being locked up in that poor governemnt facility broke my heart. Just think about how many people are going to die? Like there is no way Chuuya Nakahara is going to succumb to a bunch of itsy bitsy chains. He' breaking out and killing everyone in there and then the agency. Convince me otherwise.
Number 7, I can't. I'll make an entirely seperate post for Chuuya too, but can we just talk for a second? He went crazy because Dazai committed suicide. He went on a whole rampage and it took 3 special ability resistance units to take him down. This is what happens when there is no Dazai when he uses corruption. But the REASON he went into corruption was just...wow. I always knew they had a complicated relationship but at the same time it was just so simple. Like, they hate eachother, but they also don't. They don't like eachother, but it's not like they don't either. It's not like they complete one another, but it's like one soul in two bodies. They're so simply complicated that if you asked me what their relation was, I'd just say, they're complications. Because in reality, their relationship is just so unexplainable. You need to see it to understand it. There are relationships like lovers, enemys, frenemies, friends, siblings, etc, but they fit into literally no category but they aren't strangers either. This is getting too long, so I'll make a different post about that.
Number 8, Chuuya pleaseeee don'ttttt. There is no need to attack the agency, my guy. He wants to avenge Dazai's death, but what is there to avenge? Dazai did suicide. He wasn't killed. Chuuya was so upset that he wanted to kill all the agency. I just....can't. It's kind of sad. This is also going to be really long if I go on, so I'll make another post about this topic.
Number 9, the way Chuuya just really couldn't understand made me wanna bang my head on the wall in tears. He truly couldn't think of why Dazai did it. He was kind of alright one second and then dead the next. The entire time, you can tell how little Chuuya was incorporated into the script he wrote. The ending for each one was different as the movie had him go insane and be put under governemnt care, while the light novel just left him to do his own thing. However, in both you can see that neither of them ever knew what was going on. Dazai never gave him a reason to why he killed himself. Everyone else seems to be going on like nothing happened or at least as if they know what happened and came to terms with it, but then he knows nothing. He was his bodyguard and right hand man and yet NOTHING. I'll get back to this in another post lol. TvT
So yeah. I cried a lot.
Dazai Chronicles
Hey, so, do you guys like the Dazai Chronicles? I might make more, but honestly I'm not sure what other characters to do. I already have Chuuya's in the progress, but everyone else is kinda...blank. So, I have a few ideas on people to put in the series, but I'm not sure who you'd like to come first and stuff. So, I'm holding a poll.
(Omg I'm so stupid I accidently picked Fyoder and can't unpick it)
Guys, if you pick other, you're gonna have to tell me who, or else I won't know who you mean lol
Dazai Chronicles Episode 3 guys
Idk, I just felt that it was funny. He wouldn't react this way but it'd be funny if he did lol
I call these the Dazai Chronicles lol
Also it won't make sense if you haven't seen ep 1 but what's going on is Junichiro and Dazai are pulling pranks on people. Sooo that's why there are 2.
Idk, I just thought of it lol
Ok wait am I stupid?
Ok so I just had a dumb question pop into my mind out of nowhere. I randomly just figured this out and I NEED someone to explain to me.
So, Dazai met chuuya when they were 15, which is why it's called the 15 manga and ark. So, if they were 15 back then and they're 22 now, doing subtraction, it's been 7 years since they met, right? Ok that adds up, because they always mention how their partnership has gone on for said many years. HOWEVER, Dazai left the port mafia 4 years ago and was in hiding the whole time. Subtract 4 from 7 and, correct me if I'm being dumb, but that leaves 3. They've been partners for 3 years. Not 7. Not 6. But 3. Have I been lied to or am I overthinking this? I NEED ANSWERS PLEASE
someone plz make this bro I can't-
Ok so I was just animating or whatever amd then all of a sudden, I got a great idea. It's probably already been done before but like what if, hear me out, what if, there was a fanfiction about Chuuya's pov when Dazai left. I imagine this as platonic and like obviously it's been done but like what if it weant as such:
Chuuya usually goes about his day normally, doing normal pm stuff, and once in a while he'll run into Dazai because, he too is pm. They usually fight and squabble and it's totally a routine at this point but then one day he wakes up and Dazai just isn't there. Idk maybe he was busy or something. So the next day he still doesn't see him. Probably trying a new suicide method. The next day. And the next. And the next. And the next, he isn't there. Finally he starts wondering what the heck is going on and somehow, Idk, maybe Mori tells him, or he overhears it, or somethin, he finds out Dazai left the mafia or just dissapeared out of nowhere. Now dude's like totally mad and confused cuz he didn't get any news of this sooner and he has no knowledge of why he would leave like that. Seeing as Chuuya is an actually smart person, Idk maybe he can use some deduction skills to try and figure it out. Even though he's racking his brain about it, nothing comes up. Until he remembers how close Oda and Dazai were and how Oda just recently died. So he gets a squad to do research, and they find literally nothing due to Ango's deal with an organization. So dude's got no leads, no ideas, and one clue why Dazai left, which is Oda's death. So he just has no other choice but to live with that and be vigilant. Four years. Four. Years. Pass. And no signs of Dazai. Like he just stopped existing that day. So, this could go a couple ways:
One day, Chuuya's doing something, Idk, shopping, walking, working, Idk Idc, but he's doing something and then just hears the words Dazai and immediently freaks out. He goes over and is totally freaking out and asking a billion questions and stuff. The people who were talking about him then tell him that Dazai was in the detective agency. And Chuuya's response is honestly beyond me. Make that up, I have no clue. But then he goes to check out the agency, and then sees him and after that I have no clue. I don't imagine them talking about it though. I think maybe Chuuya's just like, dang he looks way healthier or happier here, that's weird. And just decides not to interfere and goes home, questions mostly unanswered.
Or the other ending:
Chuuya, once again, is just doing stuff and then hears a reaaaaaally familiar and obnoxiously annoying voice and just wips his head around so hard it practically snaps. Then there's Dazai, just talking with an ADA member and he just freezes. Like, my dude was gone 4 years, now he's here, out of nowhere. So he's just in pure shock. Then it turns into pure rage. Then it turns into pure confusion. Then exitment. Then rage again. He cracked the case, but it was still unresolved. After that, do what you will, my brain is empty.
I decided it was good enough so here ya go :3
