I love how despite the show being called Bungou Stray Dogs, most of the characters are either cat coded or canonically cat people OR they just dislike dogs.

And as a cat person myself, I absolutely adore this little detail (I love dogs too ofc, just prefer cats a little more)

The protagonist is literally a cat. (Okay yes, he's a tiger. Close enough lol)

Dazai was referred to as "a burnt black cat" by Oda. And he's also a cat person with a very obvious dislike for dogs.

The strongest gifted is LITERALLY A CAT.

Then of course there's Fukuzawa- the biggest cat person in the series. And Ranpo is also one of the most cat coded characters in the show (he's just as lazy as a cat)

Kyouka being the most adorable cat person

And then there's Haruno and her obsession with cats, specifically, Mii-chan (Natsume). Also, love how cat girl is just a...CAT girl. (We don't even know her name)

There's Akutagawa with his dislike for dogs (imo, he's also very cat coded. According to a CD drama, he hates baths. If that isn't very cat like, then I don't know what is)

Lastly, Chuuya being one of the few dog people in the show is so funny to me.

Maybe Chuuya is the true Bungou Stray Dog amidst all the stray cats.

[shitpostingsystem]

bsd headcanons (mostly just skk and fyolai tbh)

fyodor and nikolai commit tax evasion

dazai and fyodor got drunk and are now legally and platonically married in the state of nevada (they got married in vegas)

dazai and fyodor wear their wedding rings every day

dazai and fyodor are hashtag besties i ship them qpr style

dazai is bi

chuuya is gay and gendfluid

dazai and chuuya are romantically married (in yokohama)

chuuya’s ring is on dazai’s left ring finger, fyodor’s is on his right

fyodor and nikolai got romantically married in kyiv, ukraine. they don’t pay taxes to anyone so there’s no need to get legally married

ranpo and poe are romantically married (legally and ceremony in yokohama). kenji was the flower boy and karl was the ring bearer

sigma and yosano are aro/ace and besties

fyodor and nikolai are sigma’s parents but sigma has to babysit his dads so they don’t do anything too illegal

fyodor and nikolai call each other besties while holding a knife to each other’s throats and making out (basically canon ibr)

fyodor isn’t dead because fuck you. he gets a cool prosthetic arm and nikolai keeps his flesh arm in a vacuum seal bag in his freezer

gin ships sskk and skk

nikolai chews wrigley’s mint gum if he can’t get ahold of a mint leaf

when people ask sigma his age he’s like “25” because he doesn’t want to explain “i’m 3 and was fanfictioned to life”

dazai and fyodor play chess together

sigma knows a shit ton about history but doesn’t explain why he knows it (not even he does)

odasaku isn’t dead he left the mafia with dazai and joined the ada where he lives happily ever after and writes a shit ton of books amen

the tanazaki siblings don’t exist

rashoumon and beast beneath the moonlight made out during dead apple you can’t convince me otherwise

atsushi has internalized homophobia/transphobia because of course he does so when he gets down bad for akutagawa he’s like “but i can’t like guys!!! that’s immoral!!” he talks it out with yosano and she ships sskk

dazai has zero rizz to women but all the rizz in the world to men. bro can pull a hundred guys for one woman

dazai actually almost kills himself one time and chuuya was like “stop it. get some help” /ref and now chuuya is dazai’s therapist

fukazawa is an ordained minister

odasaku is that one writer with too many oc’s not even he can keep track of (me)

dazai goes catatonic during panic attacks

ranpo got diagnosed with autism and was like: “no way” and fukazawa was like: “you’re the most autistic person i’ve ever met”

[2383-lines-of-code]

I feel like ango has some sort of connection to the book. In most of the flashback arcs he’s shown writing abt the incidents, which could be just for the sake of the narrative making a bit more sense, or it could be smth deeper

#I feel like we’re still missing a lot of info abt ango #he was introduced way earlier than fyodor and there has to be some sort of reason #idc that I sound delusional here #bsd ramblings #bsd theory #bsd #ango

[chrxnicdaydream]

something about Dazai being comfortable enough around Chuuya to be vulnerable and let him see his genuine reactions (especially his genuine shock) as he processes out loud is SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME

plus Chuuya not being shocked to see the genius at work tells us this isn’t the first time he’s seen Dazai actively figuring things out in real time…

the way Chuuya knows Dazai's nervous habits— noticing that Dazai is worried, and subtly checking on him. the way Dazai drops his facade in favor of putting all of his focus into the mental game at hand is such an obvious sign of trust & closeness for someone like Dazai, whose facade is his main form of defense

how they interact with each other in the downtimes when there’s nobody watching…

all i can think is, look how far they’ve come since they were 16 when Dazai couldn’t trust anyone with his plans. how even now, Dazai is always putting up his “all according to plan” front, even with the agency. how Chuuya is the one person we’ve seen him truly drop the mask around, and Chuuya doesn’t bat an eye. even their banter is ongoing, but subdued.

soukoku and their subtle displays of intimacy will be the death of me 💔

#it’s the casual intimacy for me #they make me so insane #they both look so cutieful lately 🥺 #but this chapter… ough- #bsd #skk #soukoku #bungou stray dogs #bsd dazai #dazai osamu #bsd chuuya #nakahara chuuya #bsd manga #bsd 114 #bsd 114 spoilers #bsd spoilers #edit: if you saw that typo no you didn’t… #rambling about bsd again

Guys, I'm switching theories

#bungou stray dogs #bsd fyodor #bsd spoilers #bsd manga spoilers #rambling #im still feeling silly tonight

[chuuya-fan-page]

I know we joke a lot about fast Dazai fell for Chuuya but honestly, I get it. Dazai spends who knows how long just wanting to die, not caring about life, not feeling human, only doing this job because he was promised a painless death at the end. And then he meets this loud cocky brat, who literally sparkles in Dazai's eyes, and he's so alive, he cares so much, he's wiling to be hated by the only family he's ever had to keep them safe. Of corse he was obsessed. He met someone who was so full of life and humanity the poor guy never stood a chance. It's part of why I love describing Chuuya from Dazai's point of view, he always looks beautiful. Could be beaten half to death and the way he's still so clearly alive would be borderline etherial.

[suiana]

your boyfriend has been acting weird lately (various yandere characters x gn reader) (ANGSTOBER DAY 2)

"babe are you-"

"can you quit talking? seriously, you're so damn annoying."

"...i only wanted to ask whether you were hungry..."

you stare at your boyfriend, lips pursed as he continues to type away on his phone. he's been like this for three weeks now. getting mad at you for no reason, cursing at you... did you do something wrong?

all you ever wanted was to be a good significant other and he's acting like he's on his period or something! jesus, can't he be a little bit more mature too?! picking fights with you for no reason, making a big fuss over nothing... and not even telling you why?!

...

you know what?

you had it with him.

"hey, what's your problem huh?! why are you so edgy nowadays huh? did i do something wrong?!"

your once loving boyfriend stares at you, eyes and mouth wide at your sudden outburst. he takes a moment to compose himself, eyebrows furrowing the second he thinks things through.

"god you're so damn stupid. I've been repeatedly telling you, haven't i? i hate you. what can't you understand?! this is why I'm always getting mad, damnit!"

you scoff at him, arms folded in front of your chest as you try to keep your cool... only for your anger to get the better of you, resulting in a screaming festival between you and your boyfriend.

"hate me? you can't expect me to believe that. not when you were literally obsessed with me up till three weeks ago?!"

"i-"

"you used to threaten people just for looking at me! you even tried to kill someone because they asked for my number! and now you want me to believe that you hate me? stop with your bullshit."

".. actually-"

"oh. are you seeing someone else? is that what this is? you're trying to make me break up with you, is that it?"

"n-... you know what? yeah, yeah it is. i want to break up with you. I've found someone else that i love more than you."

your boyfriend states, eyes dead as he stares straight at you. he breathes calmly, as if he weren't affected by this at all. meanwhile, your heart felt as though it had shattered into many tiny pieces. tears fell from your eyes, unable to be held back any longer as you broke down, falling to your knees as the male just stares at you stoicly.

"let's never see each other again."

he mumbles, turning on his heel, swiftly leaving you alone to wallow in your sadness in the once lively apartment. shit... you hadn't expected things to end like this.

"he's a fucking jerk..."

you think through your tears, vision blurry as you clutch your chest. you really loved him and he just?? left?? how could he be so heartless?

if he didn't love you he could've just said something about it. he didn't have to be so mean and hurt your feelings before finally bringing up another person! god damnit, why did you have to fall for such a person?!

you cried, wailing as you cursed your now ex-boyfriend.

"fuck! i hate you! i hate you so much! i hope i never see you again! just disappear from my life! you just left me to die here! stupid ex-boyfriend! i hate giving you my love!"

what you didn't know however, was that your 'heartless' boyfriend had stood outside your door, frowning at your every word, regretting everything he had done up until that moment. because he had loved you too. truly.

he loved you so damn much that he wanted to tear out his hair every single time he was mean to you. he wanted to tell you that he didn't mean any single one of those hurtful words. he wanted to cry and beg for your forgiveness every single time he did anything hurtful to you.

but it was for your own good. it was to keep you safe. and if he needed to hurt you to keep you safe, he'd do it. because he loved you too much to see someone else hurt you.

and being with him meant that there was always a risk of you getting hurt. so how could he allow that to happen when it could be prevented? how could he let his selfish feelings get in the way when you were such a precious little thing? sure, he loves you and he'll do anything in his power to ensure your safety but what if he can't protect you one day?

what if one day you just... get used against him? he's a dangerous man and has a lot of enemies. surely they'll find out that you're his weakness. of course he has gotten rid of anyone who might harm you now but who's to say that there won't be more in the future?

which is why he has to severe all ties with you now. he can't risk it. because he may be strong, but he may not be strong enough for whoever may come in the future. that's why he's been doing what he's been doing-making you hate him so that it hurts less when he decides that it's time to leave. he assumes that it's working wonderfully, after all you've never once noticed his puffy eyes in the morning.

"at least... they'll be safe now."

and disappear he will, for he has too many regrets welling up in the depths of his soul from what he did to you. he'll make sure to never come across you again, instead lurking in your shadow, observing you from afar.

a star like you need not be dirtied by his presence anymore.

crying because "a shallow bond" is exactly what caused fyodor's own downfall.

his lack of trust in nikolai, shown by not just taking the antidote right then and there. shown by being cold towards his friend and simply getting in the helicopter with no further words. the fact that, if he had stayed outside with nikolai or even beckoned him in the copter, he'd probably still be alive.

fyodor called dazai & chuuya's bond shallow but never faced the fact that his bonds are shallow as well.

dostoevsky's downfall begins with his sentence, "are you unfit to utilize a gravity manipulator?" with this sentence about chuuya, fyodor sums up his relationships with everyone who cares about him most. he sees them as tools to be used, not people he can rely on.

with ivan, who would literally give his life for him, fyodor brings him into battle once and casts him aside (which, by the way, stupid move fedya. ivan could've saved his ass too!)

with karma, who was nothing more than a boost for fyodor to get back on his feet.

with nikolai, who saw something in fyodor nobody else did, a friend. who tried to form a connection, to see beyond the "demon" in dostoy. who got cast aside anyways because fyodor doesn't see the value in other people's love.

fyodor's lack of trust makes his bonds shallow, which in turn makes him "need" to manipulate others so that he still gets his way. it's a vicious cycle for him, with the path of "trust" and "faith" in anyone else being too long and winding for his ambitious heart. once again, the path straight forward has nothing at the end.

sometimes i think about the fact that ango was the one that wiped dazai’s record clean after he left the PM so he could find work and be the man oda wanted him to be, and that ango transcribed dazai’s heart messages for him while he was in meursault, and that ango constantly helps dazai because he still cares about him and still feels guilty about his betrayal, while dazai still feels too hurt by the betrayal to forgive him. and then i want to lay down and cry

Dazai and Ranpo: The Two Geniuses of the ADA

The thought about making a post about Dazai and Ranpo's teamwork has been plaguing my mind for a while now, and so I finally found some time and decided to go through with it.

So let's talk about one of my favourite underrated duos for a moment. The two geniuses of the ADA- Dazai and Ranpo. Two people who make a wonderful team and are actually, in my opinion, the backbone of the agency.

What I find interesting is that (though I believe that Dazai respects and admires all members of the ADA) Dazai openly admires Ranpo A LOT. He's always quick to praise Ranpo (basically fanboying over him and it's quite adorable to see Dazai gush over someone like that other than Oda) and in 'Dazai's Entrance Exam' we see him being surprised over the fact that Ranpo's ability is not actually an ability and we see him further praise Ranpo's intellect after finding that out.

Despite the fact that Dazai is a huge mystery, even to the people around him, Ranpo figured out that there was something up with Dazai in just a single glance (in 'Dazai's entrance exam'). And despite knowing that Dazai was probably hiding a sinister past, he didn't press him any further for details (probably in order to respect his privacy or his wish to not disclose his past OR maybe due to the the fact that knowing Dazai, he most likely wouldn't answer truthfully even if questioned about it)

What I also love is that even though both of them are extremely intelligent, their intellect differs in such a way that Ranpo is a master of deduction and Dazai is a master of manipulation (as stated by Kunikida in 'The Daily Routine of the Detective Agency'). However, one thing both of them share in common is that they both felt isolated due to their nature.

They may have limited interactions but their interactions are always my favourite, for instance-

1. Dazai's entrance exam - Dazai's admiration and respect towards Ranpo

2. Season 1 - Murder on D-Street - Dazai showing a good understanding of Ranpo's deduction process and acknowledging that Ranpo caught onto more details than him

3. Season 2 - "Mountains or sea?" " Sea. "

Showing their unspoken communication. They can read each other's minds at this point lol.

4. Season 3 - Ranpo basically acknowledging that Dazai would be a tough opponent to go up against by comparing Fyodor to him (sort of praising his intellect in a way)

5. Season 5 - The Strongest Man in the Agency- Ranpo

Dazai keeping an eye on Fyodor while leaving the rest to Ranpo

Dazai relying on his allies- trusting Ranpo to negotiate with Bram in order to undo the vampire curse.

6. Dead Apple - Ranpo seeing through Dazai's plan beforehand.

7. 55 minutes - Seeing through upcoming events beforehand, one thing Dazai made sure was to inform Ranpo about the whole fiasco on Standard Island in order to save the Agency in the end.

Also, sidenote: I found out that the Dazai and Ranpo duo is named Souheki, which translates to double jade. Now, I'm not sure if this information is fanon or canon (feels more like fanon tbh but I really like it because it's a pretty name)

Anyway, one thing we can say for sure is that as long as the two geniuses of the Agency- Souheki work together, the ADA will most likely remain undefeated cause no one really does it like them

Lastly, just some food for thought. I've always wondered how Dazai would react if he found out that Ranpo met Oda TWICE and the second time he met him was right before Oda went on to his certain death.

Honestly, I would LOVE to see more fleshed out and direct interactions between these two.

[2383-lines-of-code]

my opinions on ppl Mori could potentially acquire with the deal:

kunikida: a bad option, his ideals would be a headache for Mori to deal with

ranpo: maybe, but not much would really change for him character wise and he’d probably be uncooperative without fukuzawa

dazai: definitely a possibility, he is an ex executive after all and it would be interesting for the ada members to see him revert to his old ways

kenji: he hasn’t been shown to be particularly righteous, just friendly, so he’d probably be easily manipulated into doing mafia work as long as it doesn’t involve harming his friends. Plus his ability is useful

tanizaki: plsss, dark tanizaki arc when???? would love for asagiri to explore his dark side more

Naomi: mori has been known to take hostages (beast gin most notably) but tanizaki would definitely flip his shit. maybe Mori uses that for manipulation purposes to gain both siblings tho it’s unlikely

sigma: if he joins the ada it would be perfect for the cycles of abuse themes (narrative foil for kyouka??)

atsushi: idk honestly, does the mafia even still want him? he’d never kill anyone willingly, but if pushed to like in dead apple… he could slide down the slope of killing more and more ppl for justice bc after the first couple times, what’s one more?

kyouka: not rly smth I want to see since it would undo all her recent character development

fukuzawa: wouldn’t rly make sense plus all the ada members would be moving heaven and earth to get him back

hc that Dazai made a point of calling Chuuya small when they met because Dazai was used to being the small one.

like, finally there was someone shorter than him. because let’s be real, Dazai was barely taller than Chuuya in Fifteen.

i think people forget how small Dazai was too— not just in height, but also in weight. He was underweight in Dark Era, but in Fifteen & even at present he's barely within the healthy weight range for his height. he was constantly described as a twig in Fifteen, and almost every time he's introduced in the light novels he's called lanky, slender, etc.

#even in terms of his present day height. like yes he’s tall #but he’s not even close to one of the tallest in bsd. he’s just tall compared to Chuuya #fic writers should really take advantage of the fact that Chuuya called Dazai a twig in 15 #‘but what about broad shoulders Dazai?’ pretty sure that’s just how harukawa draws 😭 like basically every character has ‘broad shoulders’ #if you look at it like that #i recently came to the realization that i gatekeep my hcs & theories fsr?? so i’m trying to change that lol #i wrote this in the tags of a post but figured it deserved its own post #rambling about bsd again #bsd #bungou stray dogs #soukoku #skk #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya #bsd analysis #bsd meta #tw weight #bsd hcs #skk hc

[whathorselegs]

Going feral over the differences in how Akutagawa and Chuuya remember Dazai during his Port Mafia days.

First image is Akutagawa's memory and the second image is Chuuya's memory.

Neither of them are accurate representations of what Dazai actually looked like, they are two peoples' perceptions of him.

Akutagawa idolizes Dazai, he was strength and power manifested, he was an ideal. He looks more put together than we ever see Dazai. He's looking down on Akutagawa both physically and symbolically. He's in all black, a true Port Mafia Executive from head to toe. His arms are concealed in Mori's coat, he's comfortable there, it fits him, he belongs. Akutagawa never saw him any other way, that's why Dazai leaving was something Akutagawa could never even begin to accept or understand.

But, God, it's such a different story in Chuuya's memory. He's disheveled, he looks so thin. In Chuuya's memory the Port Mafia life is wasting Dazai away. The mafia members behind him are ghastly shades, monsters of Dazai's past. He's wearing his Agency clothes under Mori's coat, whilst he pulls it around himself because it's all he knows. Signifying that Chuuya always knew Dazai's loyalty to Mori was fickle, that he wanted an out. Perhaps showing that Chuuya believes Dazai was always destined to be somewhere other than the mafia, that he knows he was destined for the Agency.

And then if you compare both of those to how Oda saw Dazai

It truly emphasizes just how young Dazai was to Oda. A kid who still had the chance to change, who didn't have to be the monster that mafia made of him.
