'she talking 67 I wanna 69'

Welcome to undoing blue, basteth.

He's a demon that's known vice for a long time, and has gotten into so much trouble over the years. He's a bartender at vice's bar, and occasionally lives in vice's apartment, dropping in and out on a whim.

Vice and basteth have a lot more history than they let on.

“O grantors of dark disgrace,” he whispered so softly that only he could hear. “‘Disgrace,’ huh?”

Number one thing to mention is the fact that Dazai says this only for himself, only he can hear it. This means that he’s being honest in this moment, he is voicing his thoughts out loud.

Clearly he’s musing on Chuuya’s activation phrase, and he singles out the part about disgrace. Of course I am very soukoku pilled so naturally I choose to interpret this as a kind of surprise (especially when it is compounded with the ‘incredible’ afterwards) Dazai doesn’t think that Chuuya’s corrupted form is a disgrace, he does think that it it something to be feared, and we see this a lot from him.

I find that Dazai looks at Chuuya with a lot of affection while he’s in his corrupted form. A state in which most people find him terrifying. And it’s not just because he’s used to it, we see this in the original quote, Chuuya is using corruption for the first time to fight off Verlaine in his corrupted form (a literal monster) he is using gravity to hold his broken bones together, he’s bleeding from every part of his body and yet Dazai still thinks he’s something amazing, he doesn’t think he’s worthy of the title ‘disgrace’, he’s thinks it’s ‘incredible’. He sees Chuuya broken and bleeding and monstrous and yet he still calls it ‘beautiful’ in Dead Apple.
