alone in an echoing lake

And then Dazai says that he planned everything implying he caused the deaths of the flags and murase and Adam is all "Gasp! You betrayed Chuuya!!" But Chuuya is smart as hell and never once accuses Dazai of that and given how he reacted to Verlaine dropping Lippman's body you'd think Chuuya would gut Dazai like a fish where he stood. But he DIDN'T. Because he knew Dazai was lying. He knows Dazai is a lying liar who lies. And Dazai always lies about his perfect plans going perfectly even when he fucks up cause lord forbid people find out he failed at something he is supposed to be good at. And at the end of the day Dazai projected on N and knew N was a liar because he himself constantly lies about his own self even when he probably shouldn't.

This!

Plus the headcanoning Chuuya as white????? I’m so confused, I’ve never seen it but wtf y’all???? The only thing I can think of that relates to that is the fact that Chuuya’s brother is European, but it’s explicitly stated that they’re not genetically related, so idk where people were working from with THAT.

Not only does that contradict everything we know about Mori and his relationship with Dazai, why do you want that to have happened. At some point or another it just becomes torture porn.

It's a thing for sure but the fandom doesn't really know how to deal with it properly. Yes Mori-Dazai-Akutagawa is a good area to study the cycle however nobody is particularly interested in really looking at Mori from a lens of a man who may have had negative experiences himself, always placing him at the start of the cycle like the man popped out of the womb an abusive asshole. There are also a lot of areas where the cycle is broken like with Atsushi, and Chuuya. Circumstances are a big factor in bsd, nobody is inherently bad, including Mori.

Sorry that Chuuya didn't ooga booga around Meursault, unfortunately he happens to be ridiculously smart and good at making people think they are in control. The entire set up for Fyodor's downfall being his inability to see people as being unpredictable had been hinted at from the moment Dazai and Fyodor had the waitress conversation.

The world of BSD is not black and white and neither are it's characters, and, consequentially; their relationships. Of course there are relationships within the series that are toxic and/or abusive, such as Akutagawa and Dazai's, there's no question about that, but it's still not so simple. There's many layers to each character and relationship within BSD, and if you only ever look at the surface, you just won't understand.

(P.S this is about fans just recycling bsd thoughts/opinions that I see all the time. If you don’t want some fans to analyze certain characters then don’t mention them. Also Chuuya being an alcoholic and that’s all he is,- topic for another post. If you have to switch out the word suicide for sewersl1d€ then you aren’t mature enough to talk about Dazai.)
