Bsd Beast - Tumblr Posts - Page 3
I haven't drawn in a while y'all
I love how Greek tragedy coded beast is, ignoring the romantic context of the original myths, there's so many that fit into Beast.
Akutagawa's long odyssey back to Gin, a journey seemingly cursed upon him for choosing vengeance over his sister. Dazai is Poseidon the God he failed to impress and set him on this treacherous path, Oda is Athena who gives him the tools and knowledge to overcome it after years of hardship.
The tasks he has to perform for the Agency are like that of the Labours of Hercules. The madness he has to atone for with these tasks are his bloodlust and need for vengeance. The Agency give him back his humanity, show him the light and help him heal, but it's not enough to keep him away from what the fates (Dazai) have planned for him.
Aku's and Gin's reunion is like that of Orpheus and Eurydice. Again Dazai plays the role of a God, this time Hades, the one who tore them apart in the first place and the who Aku has to make a deal with to get Gin back. A deal he could never win. He loses not because he looks back at Gin but because he keeps losing sight of her.
Gin is like Echo, having listened to Dazai's manipulations for so long they're all she can repeat when confronted by Aku. When Dazai is gone she fades away, unsure of who she is anymore.
Atsushi is the Minotaur, he is Medusa, he is the innocent victim turned into a monster, forced to play the beast the hero must defeat.
Dazai himself is like that of Cassandra, cursed with the gift of prophecy, he sees all that there could be and is isolated by it. He can't tell anyone what he knows and the only man he tries to, Oda, doesn't believe him.
Of course Dazai has to die, it's not a tragedy if someone doesn't die. Akutagawa and Gin aren't reunited, and Atsushi is forced into hiding because heroes don't get the reward they want, but what the Gods deem fit to give them.
And Dazai's final part, played beyond his death, he's the Patroclus to Chuuya's grief maddened Achilles.
Grief maddened just like Akutagawa was at the start of the story, because the God's games are never truly over and Sisyphus will always be pushing the boulder uphill.
“don’t call me odasaku”
sometimes i remember
Listen. LISTEN. “A life in which you have someone to say goodbye to is a good life. If your farewell to that person is very painful, there is nothing more to say.” The fact that it’s Dazai of all people saying this strikes me. Dazai is someone characterized by the fact that he does not see the value in living life. He does not find anything in the world to be worth living for. He’s tried to commit suicide time and time again because, to him, life simply offers nothing substantial enough to justify the experience of living it.
And yet. By saying those words, he implicitly tells Oda that his life was a good one. Not just passable, not just alright, not just tolerable, but good. His life was a good one because Oda is the person that he has to say goodbye to, because saying goodbye to Oda like this is very painful to him. Even though, in this universe, Oda hates him, even though Oda considers him an enemy, even though Oda says he has no right to call him ‘Odasaku’ - Dazai still says his life was a good one, simply because Oda existed in it.
BSD S5 E11 theory with spoilers (obviously)
Kind of a 2 in 1.
So l've been thinking about the last episode a lot over the past couple of days. Mostly about how unsatisfying it felt. It's been about 6 years since everything with the DOA started in the manga. That's 6 years of wondering what's going to happen. How are the ADA going to get out of this one. Are my favourite characters going to be ok.
Only for it to end up being that they where never in any danger to begin with.
It was all staged. Tanizaki and Kunikida would have been fine no matter what, all you had to do was unplug the machine. Chuuya was never a vampire to begin with. Dazai escaped the prison and got the antidote. Fyodor is finally killed. Everyone's fine. It was all just a convoluted set up.
But then that got me thinking. It all ended a little too perfectly.
Enter the book/page.
What if someone wrote in the book to help the agency so that everything would end happily ever after. The machines where dangerous. Until someone wrote in the book that they weren't. Chuuya was actually a vampire. Until someone wrote in the book that he wasn't.
And so on.
So then who would have access to the book/page. Well we don't know where the book is, that's what everyone is looking for. People most likely to actually know where it is would be Taneda and of course Natsume. Of those two Natsume is the most likely. We haven't seen him since the Canabalism arc and we know that he's always working behind the scenes to help out. So what was he doing while the agency was being framed?
But let's leave that as a possibility for now and move onto my second theory.
The page. Last we saw Fukuchi had it. So that leave's Fukuzawa, Ranpo and Teruko with easy access.
But here's what l'm thinking.
The otherside of the page was supposed to be written on that night. But if Fukuchi was already planning on dying then how would he do that?
The answer is he wouldn't. But you know who could? Teruko.
We already know she talked with Fukuchi before everything went down and that she was on his side. So what if Fukuchi gave the page to Teruko and told her what to write. Or maybe just gave it to her for safe keeping.
Either way Teruko would have the page. And what would you do if you where just forced to kill someone you love and you have the ability to manipulate reality. You'd try bring them back.
Enter weird Fukuchi from the end of the episode.
We already know that the book/page can bring people from inside the book outside the book because of Sigma. So what if in Terukos grief she wrote on the page for Fukuchi to be a live.
But because our Fukuchi was already dead it wouldn't make narrative sense for him to suddenly come back to life. So what if instead the book brought a different Fukuchi from inside the book into the main world.
Or if we're going of how the book works in Beast then main world swapped with a world where Fukuchi was alive. Which would also explain Akutagawas weird outfit.
Anyway that's my weird theory about the last episode. Guess we'll find out in like 2 years if l'm right or not.
TLDR: The ending of the last episode was weird and I think that either Natsume wrote in the book to help the agency or Teruko wrote on the other side of the page to bring Fukuchi back and that's why everything went to shit.
beast skk question mark

Aww, thank you so much, that is the biggest compliment because Dazai is so hard too figure out and even harder too write for!!!
TW- Implied Gun-play with PM!Dazai
ADA!Dazai-
-"Put your tongue back in your mouth before I stick something else in it."
-"You're so whiney baby... you gonna tell me what you want in full sentences or are you just gonna keep babbling?"
-"You're too pretty too be covering your face pretty girl.. move your hands for me."
-"Make a mess and I'm gonna make you lick it up, so it'd be best if you controlled that pretty little pussy of mine, yeah?"
-"Such a little minx you are, love. Touching me like that while I'm sleeping.. you're so needy."
PM!Dazai-
-"I thought you said you could take it.. oh, you can? So why are you crying, hm?... Get your face out of the pillow and answer me."
-"You take my cock so well... you think you could take it just the same if it was my gun fucking you instead?... mmm, actually I think you could take my gun even better."
-"You're so fucking loud, do I need too shut you up?... don't look at me like that, it certainly wouldn't be with my cock, you haven't even gotten close too earning that."
-"Being fucked is a reward, given your behavior recently, that shouldn't even be on your mind."
-"Coming untouched, huh? That's quite pathetic, even for you."
Beast!Dazai-
-"My pretty girl... so polite. Saying thank you when I let you cum, I taught you well, huh?"
-"Ah ah. Don't. That's not yours too touch."
-"Watch your mouth or don't speak. You don't get too cry about not cuming knowing the way you've acted today. You're lucky I'm fucking you at all."
-"Slow love, undress slower for me, I'm not going anywhere, I'd like too enjoy it, can you give me that baby?"
-"I said I'd make you cum when I got home, what? You thought just because you were sleeping that I wouldn't follow through? You wound me love."
I've been thinking about this for a while but how do you Dazai (any of the three) would feel if his s/o had an interest in the mafia?
I just did ADA!Dazai
Depending on the reason you give him, he wouldn't really mind. I think he'd find a bit amusing, especially if he hasn't told you about his past yet. Anytime you put on mob movies, he'll watch them with you, telling you what's true and what's not, and when you ask him how he knows so much, he'll chuckle and tell you he's a detective, he's had quite a few run ins with the Port Mafia, given his job. If he has told you about his past though, he'll tell things from his experience and how the mafia really works, not this glorified bullshit. He does think it's a little funny, your reaction, when he tells you that no, men in the mafia don't sit around, play poker, drink expensive liquor and smoke cigars, that's all fiction baby. What actually goes on is much darker, but as long as your interest doesn't go any further then the movies and the occasional mafia smut novel, he's fine with it.
Not a request lovey but I was wondering about how Dazai would feel if his s/o was related to a crime/mob boss
You have this mans interest peaked, he wants too know who it is and how you found out. Once you do tell him who it is, he'd do a whole bunch of research of his own on the relative, because he's highly intrigued, but it also depends on who it was. If your relation was immediate family, like your father of sorts, he really wouldn't want you near your father, because he understands that being in the mafia can bring casualties to those around them and he's not willing too sacrifice your safety because of your families actions. But, if it was a great grandfather of sorts, and you weren't in any harms way, he wouldn't mind it, he'd probably tease you a bit; about continuing their legacy. If we're talking about Beast!Dazai though... that's a little different, because in that universe, he's a mob boss himself, so if it was your father, he'd want too meet him, and I'm sure he'd use it to his own gain, maybe expanding the Port Mafias influence of sorts.
Here are some sketch ✨😊
You cannot save people, you can only love them.

Bungou Stray Dogs BEAST - a book review
the only thing i can say about this book is that it is brilliant. kafka asagiri has created the dazzling, mysterious world of bungou stray dogs, and this is simply an alternative universe for it. a universe where a certain character did not die like they did in reality. i found the general concept quite intriguing, because how much can you change the characters' personalities if you only change a small plot point that is mostly unrelated to them? a lot. you can change those characters a lot if this one tiny thing did not happen, and i think that is brilliant. i cannot say more about this book without spoiling it, but i absolutely adored the twists in it
Bungou Stray Dogs: BEAST Manga, Chapter 6.
The faces in this panel are literally like: 🙂😠🙂
It's somehow so creepy and funny at the same time. Especially because Tanizaki and Kenji are just like "It's no big deal, we expected this" and Oda is just like "I'm already tired of this shit".
