If you think Mori didn’t groom and emotionally abuse Dazai please block me I’m so tired of stupid people unable to process what we see in fucking canon it makes me actually angry. If I see one more person claim that Dazai STARTED the cycle of abuse, and not Mori when he recruited a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD into the mafia I’m going to lose it. IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT DAZAI KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO! His age means that, yeah, Mori did fucking groom Dazai. Which guess what, that’s fucking abuse!
I hate some of this fandom, just because Dazai abused akutagawa does not mean Dazai was not severely emotionally abused by Mori EVEN IN WHAT WE EXPLICITLY SEE! Abuse doesn’t have to be sexual or physical or verbal, for fucks sake. I rly hope none of you have children if you think what happened to Dazai to get into the mafia and what he went through to become an executive wasn’t Mori’s fault. Mori is Dazai’s abuser, that is canon and we see it over and over again, and I am tired of people being stupid enough to willingly ignore that just because they don’t like his character.
I’m also tired of people acting like he physically abused akutagawa because he was sadistic or something when no, he was a 16 year old trying to get a 14 year old to survive in the goddam mafia. Does that make it remotely ok? No! Dazai was an asshole and was horrible to that kid!
I have a lot of analysis on Dazai being genderqueer actually, most of it is stuff that can be interpreted in other ways but when viewed through a trans lens there’s a surprising amount of trans subtext to Dazai’s character. Like I said, it’s subjective, but still very interesting.
Dazai I’m so sorry but rn I can’t stop reading fics about bad things happening to you. At least it’s trauma recovery? Sorry man someone has to get projected onto and rn that’s u ig
Oh godthis cant be happening, Im gonna need to start flying my omegazai flag with a little more fucking gusto bc wtf do you mean 73% of people think dazai is an alpha. NO he’s NOTTTTTTTT
@anatomyofacynic ABSOLUTELY AGREE. His self esteem is way too low to dom in any universe he needs to be tied up and told he’s a good boy for his mental health
Genuinely breaks my heart when I think about how Dazai playing video games is the only normal teenage activity we see him do, other than underage drinking. And Chuuya gives him a reason to go to the arcade. And Chuuya is in that exact same boat. At least they have eachother.
I really feel like there could be some great fukuzawa and Dazai interactions, I’m sad they aren’t closer in canon. Especially because of how he took yosano in from Mori. The parallels ugh
Im probably guilty of this too but I get rly annoyed by fics overusing “it wasn’t a ‘insert word here’ it was a ‘insert synonym’, ‘insert synonym’, ‘insert similar word with a different but similar meaning’ every two paragraphs.
