Atsushi is growing up. He has bristles (due to the tiger's abilities there is a lot of it). Ryunosuke shaves Atsushi with the help of Rashomon.
Perhaps Dazai suggested this idea. Perhaps Chuuya taught Ryunosuke how to shave with a blade properly.
Chuuya definitely shaves with a blade. Dazai definitely can't be trusted with a blade.
One of the possible prototypes of the Iceman is the American writer Eugene O'Neill.
Eugene O'Neill is an outstanding playwright of the 20th century, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.
One of his most famous plays is "The Iceman Cometh".
In this play, a group of tipsy men gather in a saloon. Each of them experiences his own tragedy and suffers from disappointment. The only way for them to feel happiness and satisfaction is to get drunk and spend time in the bar.
However, Theodore "Hickey" Hickman soon appears, joyfully announcing that he no longer drinks, and encourages others to do the same. As the story progresses, Hickey becomes more and more insistent, desperately demanding that others follow his example, seeking to save them from disappointment.
His influence spreads to other characters, who begin to confess their sins and accept reality. It is implied that the only fate for the men left in the bar, stuck in their delusion, is death.
The gist of the story is that death comes to everyone, regardless of their attempts to escape reality. The character of Hickey represents the Iceman and death, encouraging people to strive for unattainable dreams in the hopes that failure will force them to face reality.
Iceman, as one of the Mafia's top assassins, also represents death.
Additionally, Hickey, who came to the bar, is acutely aware of the main conflict of each person there. Iceman is also able to detect and sense the activation of others' abilities, since in BSD, a character's abilities always reflect their main conflict.
To sum it up, it is obvious that since the Flags and Iceman in particular had no goals or dreams outside of the Port Mafia, their fate was predetermined - they were destined to die in the Port Mafia.
I take that theory from https://t.me/Lippmann_Altar
Trying to figure out names for the flags (I’m writing a highschool au and need them to have normal names)
So Lippmann is Walter Lippmann- apparently Chuuya (irl) knew a guy who was a pianist who might’ve been an inspiration for piano man???? And I saw someone say Albatross is Charles Baudelaire. I’m still looking into those two though.
If yall knew anything PLEASE TELL ME
Mycroft: you can't pour wine into the teapot and call it tea
Аlbert: yes I can
Moran to Albert: you're fucking sly damnass!
Louis to Moran: yes? You're an idiot who thinks everything will be the way you want it. WELCOME TO REALITY!
Moran: I'm leaving and taking Fred with me.
Bond: I think the Monopoly is over...

Aziraphale...
"sword in an umbrella" is great with these two
Albert: I want something sweet.
Mycroft: me?
Albert: I wanted to say “wine,” but it's even better.
Atsushi: Kunikida-san, do you know the difference between sugar and salt?
Kunikida: salt is a mineral, but sugar is a complex chemical compound
Atsushi:
ADA:
Dazai: we all answered that sugar is sweet and salt is salty
idk, but Iceman is always “enlarged” next to Chuuya, most likely because he is the only one who can kill Chuuya. Remember this frame with Iceman towering over the corpse of a sheep
no Eden and God, only Britain and Mycroft
If I had a nickel for every time I meet boy who has two friends who always argue but remain the best partners, one of which is an organized grump and the other an extreme lazy ass, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Если бы мне давали пятак каждый раз, когда я встречаю парня, у которого есть два друга, которые всегда спорят, но остаются лучшими партнерами, один из которых — организованный ворчун, а другой — крайне ленивый осел, у меня было бы два пятака. Это немного, но странно, что это произошло дважды.
