Saw Someone Ask Why Dazai Doesn't Seem Stressed When Chuuya Was Flung Into A Building Whereas Chuuya

Saw someone ask why Dazai doesn't seem stressed when Chuuya was flung into a building whereas Chuuya was panicked when Dazai was flung into a tree.

See, Dazai is basically an average person. His ability is a non ability. He is the squishy little wizard guy. Meat and bones with no defense. He can tank his ex partner who may just have been holding back anyway because he knows how to fight. But guy is just a normal dude physically.

Chuuya on the other hand is a wrecking ball on cocain that can basically turn invulnerable at will.

Dazai will die if he smacks into something hard enough. Chuuya will most likely walk away with maybe a scratch at best cause his hat chain flicked him in the face as he was sent through a concrete wall.

Not to mention Chuuya is shockingly resilient already. Man walks off stab wounds and electrocution like they are mosquito bites.

BSD Magazines Archive

After *checks* six months of working on this, I've finally completed the bsd magazines archive!! The photos above are only meant as table of contents: this is the folder with all the images included above in original quality and more, for a total of 360 pictures with multiple scans to display the best quality available on the internet. Here you can find the spreadsheet with the issues details, including magazine name, date, name of the illustration artist and translation when available, and most importantly source credits for every picture I included. In hope that anyone can find this useful or interesting, please enjoy!

Special thanks to @amythedemisimp, who shared with me so much useful material, and without whom I wouldn't have started this project to begin with.

Listen, I am trying to be critical but knowing skk and how they barely ever have conflict and how op Chuuya is and how unhinged Dazai is and how insanely smart Chuuya is and how much and how often they troll enemies it is very in character for this to be the meursault finale.

No, the stakes were just as high, this is skk, they love their high stakes pranks and death game foreplay shit. They love keeping each other on their toes and leaving clues for each other without ever telling them to look for said clues.

They are clowns. They are the entire circus. They are stupid and they will drag everyone down to their level in their dick measuring contest of a partnership.

Somehow this ending makes so much more sense than them suddenly having a deeply angsty ending.

Would it have been more interesting had Chuuya been a vampire? Yea sure.

Is it ridiculously in character for them to be trolling everyone and potentially Chuuya trolling Dazai even? Yes.

And its way funnier.

What do you mean this isn't what's going on in bsd right now..

Don't think about the fact that Twice only really died now that Toga is safely taken care of and loved by someone else (Ochako).

Don't even think of how Ochako recognized that Toga was loved by the League of Villains and how Twice only really disappeared now that someone else is there to tell Toga she is the cutest and her smile is pretty.

Don't think about Toga knowing Jin's blood was about to run out but letting it go because now she trusts Ochako and feels seen and supported, how Toga's transitioning for something that felt good after all the abuse but wasn't ideal of healthy but someone she will miss anyway to a healthy and good environment for her to heal her trauma and correct her ways, even if she knows it's be hard.

Don't think Twice being proud of Toga and letting her go too and being happy that she's happy and accepted. About Ochako and Twice both reaching for Toga even if they are on the brink of dead and even if they are in the middle of a war. Don't think that the kindness Toga showed to Twice is now returning to her in the form of Ochako.

StaticMoth Abuse

Featuring mentions of Angel Dust's relationship with Val

TW: ABUSE, SA

SPOILERS AHEAD ↓

Here's a fact. Vox is not being abused by Valentino.

This fandom is so deep in fanon content that it heavily intertwines with canon. But let's try to understand where Val abusing Vox came from, why it's not true and how it correlates to Angel Dust's relationship with Val.

Let's begin:

In the, now archived, posts on Instagram (or voxtagram), it was revealed that Vox and Val were in a situation-ship, and canon officially confirmed it.

Now, Val as a character is heavily hated and for good reasons while Vox is not. Many people adore Vox and for that, his relationship with Val can be conflicting, adding a bit of difficulty in justifying their like for him.

Here's where Valentino's relationship with Angel Dust comes in.

Val has been shown to be abusive and to SA Angel Dust. First example of that being the Addict music video.

This has created the need for people to give a reason behind Vox's relationship with Val and make excuses for him so they can validate their favoritism.

"Val is so awful! He must be abusing Vox! Breaking his screen and whatnot!"

What people don't take into consideration is the difference in their power imbalance or lack thereof.

One of the core factors in Angel Dust's relationship with Val is the power difference between them.

Val is an overlord while Angel is a sinner.

A sinner that signed a contract with Val and gave his soul. That alone makes their dynamic vastly different. Val feels it's within his right to abuse Angel, to test his limits until he breaks. And up until episode 4, Angel believed he deserved it because whatever Val did to have him sign the contract must have been his fault. Although that's not true, Angel felt so. Heck, he wanted to break himself so that Val would let him go.

Vox and Val, on the other hand, don't have that. Both of them are overlords.

They are on equal footing. There is no power imbalance. In fact, the Vees could have not existed and both Vox and Val, including Velvette, would be completely fine without each other and continue to have their respective overlord status.

The reason it exists is exploitation.

All three can and do use each other so they can have a more powerful front. A mutual alliance of exploitation. Within this, they have created their own fucked up bond. As a result of that, Val and Vox have an on-again, off-again relationship. It's far from healthy, but it's not an abusive one.

Vox knows of Valentino's behavior but as long as it's not effecting their shared partnership, he will not interfere nor will he care about it.

Or maybe the next seasons will give me the middle finger and I'm completely wrong. Who knows? I just read a fic and saw posts about Vox being abused by Val and wanted to give my two cents on the topic.
