Inspired by @originalaccountname's post about Atsushi's vision of Dazai being warped.
These are all panels where Dazai either appears as a memory or hallucination for different people. Probably not all of them, but a small collection I literally just gathered in the last hour.
----
Atsushi
I think it's interesting just how lifeless this hallucinated version of Dazai is. He doesn't smile, he doesn't joke. It really does just feel like Dazai's face placed over Atsushi's conscience to guide him forward.
Akutagawa
Scraggly little guy. There's mystery behind his eyes, he knows something you don't. Has never seen a hair brush in his life. Akutagawa's vision of Dazai always looks like he's the one in control and he knows it. But also, he looks so young.
Chuuya
This ones admittedly a little different because the 1st panel is from the fifteen manga BUT I'm counting it because I love the visual and it makes an interesting contrast to how Chuuya saw Dazai when they were both teens, to how he remembers him now. One a mastermind demon, the other a lost looking boy surrounded by demons.
Ango
Bratty, criminal child. Someone who needed to be saved. The handcuff representing Dazai as someone trapped by his past and Ango trying to pay penance by saving him from it. He envisions the boy he was, because his betrayal meant he never got to know the man Dazai became.
Ranpo
Happiest little guy out there! Considering how much Dazai says he admires Ranpo, it's not surprising that when Ranpo envisions the agency he sees Dazai smiling at him. This is the Dazai Ranpo wanted to protect, the smile and joy he never wanted to lose.
Blessing turned to curse
subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update
TWST OC/Sort-of-Yuu-adjacent relationship chart! He moreso exists alongside Yuu than actually being Yuu, but they fill roughly the same ecological niche so I lump him in that category.
"T" is a weird little guy and I love him very much. He is so full of Secrets but also fun and whimsy.
His full profile is here, if anyone is curious enough about him to take a look. The picrew I used for him is this one!
The drama is 400 years old and NRC is learning all of it in excruciating detail
If Crowley DOES turn out to be Raverne, everyone at NRC and possibly on Sage's Island as a whole will need to be wearing earplugs for the next 48 hours minimum after Lilia finds out, because that is approximately the amount of time he's going to spend yelling. And Crowley would deserve it
Where's that one post about taking up running as a hobby because you hate it so much that writing feels like a lovely break in comparison bc that's how I'm feeling rn. If I do all my assignments I can spend some time writing and it's so lovely in comparison to the 29 million peer reviews I have to do
"what's it like being a writer" um every night I'm tormented by dreams of a fake world with dragons and wizards. so like, I might be crazy idk.
Oh so when the character is canonically aroace and uninterested in romance, "aroace people can still date" and you can ship them with whoever you want, but when it's not even actually canon it's "This character is actually aroace so you can't ship them with anyone"
when thinking about twst my mind always eventually bounces back to thinking about the little first year gang, because they're such a disaster group.
like arguably, none of them on their own are grade a troublemakers (except Grim). If we're going by chaos energy on their own, characters such as floyd, kalim, jade, lilia, ect. probably wreak more havoc. hell most of the dorm leaders, as intelligent as they are, are so arrogant that they cant seem to stop pissing others off.
but the first years have the terrible curse that their brain seems to fall out of their asses the moment another first year is nearby.
ace is the best example, we know from chapter 7 that he has a good head on his shoulders, but the moment an opportunity to mess with deuce/prefect/grim arises he throws all caution out the window. despite the voice inside his head screaming danger he can't ignore the siren's call of starting shit.
deuce, on the other hand, is a character that literally can't seem to avoid bullshit. He's trying so hard to be better and YET he keeps getting wrapped up in these looney toons ass situations. he's the unluckiest first year, and is also easy to anger and even easier to fool.
Epel is a good enough student when he's surrounded by the rest of pomefiore (who are arguably more insane than him) but he also can't ignore the allure of chaos. imo he's the enabler, with a personal philosophy of "you can solve every problem if you hit it hard enough"
jack tries really REALLY hard to not get involved, but he's also too emotionally constipated for his own good sometimes. remember that scene in stitch's event where he tries to help riddle and azul with carrying heavy items, then to cover up for his display of kindness he tries to be all like "psh yea you guys don't look that strong" and riddle prompty obliterates him for saying that. yea that. keeps shooting himself in the foot
ortho seems like he'd have a good head on his shoulders, but he has the same amount of social tact as idia. i mean he's really nice right up until the situation gets dire, and then he starts calling his friends idiots. he's absolutely correct btw, but ortho don't say that out loud
and finally sebek, who tries really hard to not be associated with the rest of these hooligans, but is argueably the worst person here. yells at everyone, insults everyone, sebek is the friend you cannot take out to eat because he doesn't know what an inside voice is and doesnt understand why he has to wait so long for his food despite the fact you're with a group of 7 during the busiest time of the evening.
Grim is like. the final piece to this puzzel. all the first years need a bit of chaos to get truly started, and grim cannot stop causing problems
nothing fills my heart with more violence than the sight of a naked wrapping paper roll
this is how Cain killed Abel
