god i hate vegimite

I’m catching up on Bungou Stray Dogs and I got to chapter 39 and wow… what a bad chapter. Or I should say, I VERY purely written, mishandled chapter. So I wanted to talk about why I hate this so much (even though so many people have probably talked about this here and other platforms.) Get ready for a rare known Iruma breakdown. But also I’m so mad about this chapter so this is going to be more of an unhinged rant then a well written post. Warning: child violence, abuse, abusive cycles, and sympathizing an abuser

This chapter is somehow a thousand times worse than what the anime did? I wonder if the people in charge of the anime also didn’t like this part and decided to cut it short and get through it as soon as possible and move on. Though it could also just because of how fucked up it is. No matter the reason, I went into this chapter hoping that maybe there was some context lost from the anime to manga but nope! In fact the manga goes further with trying to make you sympathize with a literal child torturer? It honestly makes me appreciate the episode just a tiny bit more for not including his oh so tragic backstory 🙄. Look, no matter what you have gone through, you don’t get the right to abuse a child. Plain and simple. Just because you were abused doesn’t give you the right to do it to someone. I get that the abuse cycle is not easy to break but once you fall down the same path you are ALSO a fucked up person! And you deserve to suffer for your actions. I wished he got a worse death than a car accident tbh 🤷.

Anyway, I hate how every character in this chapter acted like Atsushi was being irrational about not wanting to know why the headmaster was around? That’s his torturer, the man that literally made his life hell? If he doesn’t want to know, don’t force him. Like, could it give him closure, I guess. But he should be the one seeking that out. Quite frankly, once it was found out the headmaster was involved Atsushi should have been pulled from the case. Give him some distance to process everything rather having to learn about his abuser’s life story or whatever. Like I said, if he wanted to learn that info he should but only if he wanted. Idk why it treated him not wanting to know as acting irrational. I feel like every character treated him like this, from Tanizaki to Akutagawa to Dazai. Instead of comforting him in this difficult time they just… didn’t do anything? Obviously Akutagawa wouldn’t but why didn’t the other two do anything to make him feel better? Only Dazai did really and it was shitty. Full stop bad.

Which leads me into the crutch of it, I hate how they made the headmaster out to be a father figure or mentor. He’s not?? What the fuck are you on about. Like, I could see it if there was fake comfort, subtle or advert manipulation by being nice sometimes. Then it would have been a situation of, he’s the only father figure I ever had but he hurt me in the worst ways. And that’s where the ending could be. Not to say it would still be a well written depiction of abuse, it still tries to get you to empathize with the man, however, I could get where all the complication in Atsushi would lie. But this man was literally the worst human being to walk the face of the Earth the entire time we see him in the manga. So it makes ZERO SENSE. I guess that’s the angle they were going for, he’s the only adult man I know but it does NOT work at all. How is he a “mentor.” Just because he said to hate me not yourself? Fuck that shit, Atsushi does not need to feel bad for that man just because he was trying to make him strong or whatever bs excuse he has. Oh wow, he got him flowers. How ‘bout you pay for his therapy bills?!

If they really wanted to have some nuance, instead I feel like the conflict should have centered around Atsushi still not feeling safe or like he isn’t really dead. Like he can’t allow himself to relax despite the fact that he knows the facts. Especially since the headmaster was a big threat throughout his life, having him suddenly die would be a large shock to the system and go into denial mode. Thus, Dazai or someone else could help him move on and he could finally breath a sigh of relief. Or maybe he’s scared that other workers of the orphanage will try to find him. Maybe he tries to go back to normal, doesn’t give himself time to process, and it all comes crashing down and he has to grapple with the fact that he will never know WHY the headmaster treated him like this. Honestly, not having it answered would have been better because often people don’t get an answer why abusers act the way they do. This idea could add another reason why Atsushi is conflicted between happy and deeply upset because the headmaster is gone but now he’ll never understand why he was treated so horribly. And grappling with the idea that maybe he will never know or understand. Which is tragic but would be a better written and understandable conclusion.

BSD just really dropped the ball with that chapter. It had a great opportunity to bring a nuanced perspective onto why Atsushi may not be elated with his death and get further perspective on him as a character. But instead it focused too much effort on making a child abuser sympathetic because he also faced abuse in an orphanage and some people died and so he tried to make Atsushi strong or whatever. Atsushi deserved a better end in than chapter that Dazai calling that gross piece of shit his father.

Edit: I wanted to add that as much as I hate this chapter I liked the parts where we got to see how bad Atsushi’s life really was at the orphanage. I mean, it hurt for sure but getting to see this put into perspective fully why Atsushi has a hard time pushing through his trauma and past. Like, PTSD is no joke and that was reason enough, but seeing how far it got really showed that. Which makes me mad when people imply he should have gotten over it already or similar statements. Like, dude if that was me I wouldn’t have made it to 18. It’s actually impressive his resolve to live despite everything. Kind of wished we saw that in the anime as dark as it was but once again, I think it was not included specifically because of how poorly it handled this topic. Not gonna lie, it would piss me off enough to not finish the show (not that it’s too much of an improvement but it at least is like, bad writing but a pass).

Why is it when Atsushi fights anyone they all without fail go for his leg.

Old Christmas Card

Old Christmas Card

“The sooner he died the less he suffers” IS WILD 💀😭

My dad seeing atsushi get abused by the headmaster: Someone save him, he's done nothing to deserve this! He's just a boy, did he just ask him to hammer a nail to his own foot? STG I will drive a truck over the devil who to dared to-

My dad seeing akutagawa get abused by dazai: Heh, asthma dude. The sooner he dies the less he suffers. Fire a few more bullets, dazai.

@hannigramislife 💀

I love my dad, lol

THISSSSSS. He would fucking LOVE convenientional Weapons also I think chuuyas fav mcr album is bullets but he prefers pierce the veil and constantly is listening to collide with the sky

i do think akutagawa would like mcr, but not like. black parade. or whatever. no that man would listen to conventional weapons and i think he would feel really seen tbh. they’re teaching me to kill who’s teaching me to love. etc. anyway

Asagiri I have some very simple easy to follow requests for next chapter and they are as follows:

Bring back kunikida bc it was all reversible via the fucking time sword or smth idk

have shin soukoku have a badass moment

give us soukoku I miss them

Heyo! Can I request for akutagawa? He is kind of underrated and he is my fav character. If you don't mind can you write a fic where he gets injured and reader takes care of him and they confessed their love? thank u.

All the time you need

A/n:i agree!!! Very underrated in fact!! I love him!-i hope you like this nonnie!💜🖤

Warnings:mention of blood Genre:fluff Type:one shot Anime:bsd Pairing: Akutagawa

Loading...

You could assure that working in the mafia was in fact not easy. Akutagawa was often send on missions and you knew it. This time however when he came back, he was badly injured.

Of course he didn't come to work the next day, but you stopped by to see him. (After annoying Gin all day to tell you how he is). When you walked into the room where he was lying you couldn't tell if he was happy to see you. "Hey... How are you feeling?" "Better." The response was cold. You didn't expect anything else from him, but still. You looked at where he was lying. The bandage wrapped around his waist with blood on it. The room was somehow cold, and dark. You both stood there not saying a word, until you broke the silence.

"I hope so..well" he looked at you. "Well?" "Can i stay a little bit to help you here?" "Sure, i guess" The time you spend with him was filled with silence, but it was somehow comforting. He didn't push you away as much as he did to others and it made you feel special, but again it still felt like he ignored you more than them. Akutagawa wasn't a person of words, but in fact he wasn't a person of touch either. He didn't share with people, care for them, it felt like he was trapped in his own mind. Pushing everyone away, must be hard, so it must have a reason for it... Right?

You both sat in silence until you spoke up. "Is there a reason you people away from you that much?" "Huh?" "I think you heard me." "It's none of your business" "I know, but-" "No but." "Listen, i know how you are amd i know things are hard for you. But pushing everyone away won't help you." "I think i know better thanks." You sighed. "Hear me out at least now, would you?" He hesitated, but nodded. "I don't know you very well, in fact i don't think anyone does, but..." Now or never. "I think through the time we've been together i have started to develop feelings for you." You were sitting there ready for a harsh response until "I am no good with these shit, but i can try it."

What?? Did you just heard right?? "Sooo that means-?" "Yes, i do like you, but I've never really thought about being in a relationship or whatever, so-" "I'll give you all the time in the world you need" He didn't even finish his sentence. "Then we'll make it work somehow." "But please, promise you won't push me away that much.." "I promise I'll try"

YEAH IN THE BEGINNING DAZAI LOOKED UP AT HIM BUT THEY BECAME OPS FOR THE REST OF THERE LIVES

and yes its so cute this man wrote a poem for her thats how much he liked Naomis actress!!!! (I feel him too, crying bc your friend scolded you is so me core)

And maybe if Tanizaki wasn't in the way he would have had a chance.

This man chuuya needs the biggest hug in the World, yes I agree.

And omg I didn't know that fyodor was in a Fanclub for Nikolai that is so cool

But did you know Nikolai was a history Professor but made up so much stuff in his classes that weren't true? This man was such a mood

And chuuyas Poems are soooo beautiful, they reflect alot on how he felt he also wrote a poem (I think it was his first poem) it was about the death of his younger brother, he was also only a child when his brother died, and after his son died he also wrote about that to cope with the lost. I read the poem for his lost son and it was heartbreaking.

The same goes for kunikida, his storys are also a big reflection on how he felt.

Also did you know that Irl Ranpo once when he was like a child wanted to confessed his feelings for a girl so he put a letter in her shoes but then changed his mind and took the letter from her shoes again (It reminded me of how I wanted to do smt similar in 5 grade with my crush) he also had 1 child a son.

And yeah in bsd asagiri always changes the relationships like dazai admired aku but in bsd It's different and in Real live dazai was a Christian but he read the Bible mainly bc the authors he admired did too and akutagawa also read it.

Akutagawa also had alot of problems, like lung Problems, insomnia, anxietes since he was a child (same) plus he couldn't have a emotional relationship to his mother, she was very absent because of her health and she died when he was 10. His father was a man who Sold milk but it didn't went that well.

He (aku) also used to teach english.

Atsushi was also a teacher and teached english and korean.

Kenji was also a teacher.

Why are all of them teachers? (And some of there wifes were either teachers or waitresses: dazais second wife was a teacher and Ranpos wife too, atsushis wife was a waitress and odas first wife too)

And that akus mom was very absent in his live reminded me of dazais his mother who Was also very absent due to her health so his aunt took the mother figure and he was very attached to her (his aunt) (Same with aku but idk if he was very attached to his aunt) but there was also this Maid who was a second mother to him (dazai) too, he even once said in an Interview (I'm not sure anymore) : she is my mother and I am her son

Which is so cute there is also a Statue of him and her (the Maid who took care of him who he saw as a mother).

Odas father was also a fisherman.

When atsushi died no one thought he would acually die so his father didn't pay him a visit before he died in the Hospital.

And dazai once wrote a letter to a man named Ibisu he was a writer too and dazai liked him but in his letter he told him that if he wouldn't meet up with him he would kill himself. (This is such a dazai way to meet dazai)

But later he (Ibisu) became his mentor and even introduced dazai to his sec wife.

If there relationship was potrayed in bsd Ibisu will also look up to dazai and not dazai like asagiri always does it...

But yk sometimes it feels strange to read all the stuff that the fandome makes for them knowing that they are real ppl. Bc since I started to find out more abt the real people it feels different now to read all of that or is it just me?

And btw gin wasn't a real person, she was a fictional character that aku made in a story.

@2econd2ight2aver @viiper1

Imagine if the real bsd authors looked at what the Fandom is saying abt them. "Fem Nikolai has big boobs", if Gogol saw that he would have a stroke. Chuuya would be mad about people making fun if his height, because he actually was really short. Idk if Dazai would be ecstatic or even more suicidal after seeing that. Fyodor would definitely write a book anylising his character's philosophy and motivations. DONT GET ME STARTED ON SOUKOKU

HEY GUYS

Sorry I haven’t posted in a looooong time I’ve been sick with a fever and couldn’t post but I will be posting soon!! (around August 9th/10th)
