Ima Be So Real This Was Supposed To Be A Simple Doodle As A JOKE

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.

They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

Is…is this them??! 😭😭

If any of you BSD fans are on TikTok, you probably know the trend where people comment the same phrase under every video- I think right now, the popular thing is "Strawberry [Character Name]"?

There were two things that got me into BSD- a TikTok account called More More Jump Dazai who commented that under every video and a video of Rui Kamishiro and Ranpo Edogawa having a dance battle. So thanks, Project Sekai, for getting me into Bungou Stray Dogs

THE WORST STALKER

After having a lover’s quarrel, Atsushi and Akutagawa are destined to reuinite, in a fight that will probably serve as the climactic battle of the arc, happening at the same time as Dazai and Sigma vs Chuuya and Dostoevsky. This fight will also confront Atsushi about his most major flaw, his demonization of Akutagawa refusing to see him as anything other than a murderer even when presented with more sympathetic traits, by now being faced with a vamped up, Akutagawa who cannot kill and is not anything other than death incarnate.

*hard spoilers for the new bsd stage play*

First and foremost, Chuuya did not fall onto tears or have a mental breakdown at being told he'd make a good boss. (If the stage play had gone this route, I would have been extremely disappointed).

Mori made a joke about how he should make Chuuya the leader of the Port Mafia. Mori had made the joke due to the fact eight subordinates requested Chuuya as temporary leader during Mori's absence (the request was made through steel oracle slips, a request system used by the mafia).

No instead, Chuuya saw through the teasing remarks and told Mori flat out that he was requested for his strength and that Mori still wanted Dazai as his successor. (Mori confirms)

Mori then gives Chuuya five more steel oracle slips saying they're from the Flags and they too thought he would make a good future Port Mafia boss.

Chuuya 'hears' their voices and leaves quickly, ignoring Kouyou and Kaji when they ask if he's crying.

I think this is far more in character for Chuuya then what the fandom had been previously assuming.

The best genre of ship fanart is when they’re both women btw

I hope you guys can tell a classmate wrote gay all over my paper since the handwriting is different

see, like, sometimes i see bsd fans commenting about how it's weird for asagiri to make the tanizaki siblings incestuous or the whole lolicon gag with mori and elise but the thing is both of those things are based on the real life tanizaki junichiro and mori ougai's works

naomi is, of course, based on the novel naomi, a story about a man who groomed a young girl into a westernized woman and it ends up with her turning the table by dominating his life. which is why the junichiro in the manga is unable to say no to his sister. while the irl work is mostly a commentary about the cultural change in taisho period, the siblings in the manga focuses on the unhealthy relationship of the protagonist jouji and naomi. you might find it disgusting and that's okay. but the character dazai is also created based on the real dazai osamu's uncomfortable depiction of humanity's ugliness. it just doesn't make sense to allow one depiction but not the other.

elise is named after the love interest in the dancing girl, but the power that creates her is named after the real mori ougai's erotic novel that is secretly about his own sexual experiences. you can argue that there is no need for elise to be a child because the character in the dancing girl isn't one, and vita sexualis itself is more about the author-slash-protagonist's struggle with having sexual desires in a society that champions moral purity.

but the thing is elise isn't even a fanservice character. she isn't depicted as someone the audience should find desirable for one. when it comes to lolicon fanservice you can expect either excessive depiction of innocence or at the very least elise getting jealous when mori gives attention to someone else. but even her mocking is just that, mocking. we were never shown her returning mori's affection even in a tsundere way.

the biggest hint is actually the fact that in beast au, a timeline where mori gives up his position as the mafia boss, elise is an adult. it shows that the child form of elise is symbolic of mori's desire to control those with the power he wants to obtain i.e. dazai and yosano. it's so much easier to gain power over other when they're a child and you're the authority figure, after all. so when he no longer chases after that ambition, elise becomes an adult.

tldr; asagiri didn't necessarily make tanizaki siblings and elise for the sake of fanservice but it's definitely because he actually pays attention to the literature that inspires him
