when he said he “knew a man who had the same eyes as yours” to kyouka?

in the manga, it seemed like he was referring to dazai,

with the focus mainly on dazai’s eyes, rather than his own.

however in the anime, it was obviously referring to akutagawa, emphasising the similarity of their eyes.

so, who was he referring to?

if it was himself, the person he met would be dazai, and joining the port mafia gave him a purpose in life.

if it was dazai, the person he met would be oda(?), and joining the agency gave him a purpose in life(?)

but akutagawa was more likely to have been talking about himself bc, ya the anime, and even after dazai joined the agency, he still lacks a purpose to live, even with fufilling oda’s wish of saving people, as seen by his multiple suicide attempts. on the other hand, akutagawa seems to be fighting to live, all for the sake of getting praise from dazai, the person he met who gave him a reason to live.

or was this super obvious and i just embarassed myself for writing this shit

just realised dazai with glasses look so good??? and they’re even kunikida’s glasses?!!!??!?

next dazai with his hair parted on one side????? never knew we needed that until dead apple happened

but seriously, he looks so dead inside when meowing ಠ_ಠ

bonus: yawning dazai rules all (˘͈ᵕ˘͈) sorry i don’t make the rules
